Hey, zOMG I just bought a PS2 and man, besides soul calibur 2(moreso than 3) and the katamari series, i haven't been using it for anything. then a friend gave me disgaea, and i'm in love with it. what else to buy? i'm looking at disgaea 2 if i can find it. i like fairly intelligent writing, and don't like plotless/lame games.
Thanks much!
PS now that i've seen etna i see the rationale for making my gf do cosplay

EDIT: You have been here since 2003, you should know how to make an OP. Also, you say thanks much, but you didnt say anything other than disgaea = awesome (which i agree with)

PM Me if you add me!
You can't go wrong with Disgaea 2. Outside of that, there's Stella Deus(good story, difficult gameplay) and FFT if you can find it.
And La Pucelle was one of their first, but it's also kind of uncommon. Also has a good story.
I missed the "what else should I buy part", but the op is still really weak.
As for other games: Phantom Brave, Malkai Kingdom, La Pucelle Tactics, Disgaea 2 are all part of the same style game as disgaea . I may have missed one in there. Good luck finding all of the except for disgaea 2, which is still out there in large numbers
Don't let people be dicks to you, feel free to start an LTTP thread.
For other games like it, you can go with La Pucelle Tactics, Phantom Brave, Makai Wars, as those are done by the same company. For games in the same genre, Final Fantasy Tactics and more importantly, Tactics Ogre are great PSX games.
It should be noted that Phantom Brave and Makai Kingdom both have radial movement rather than squares. This usually translates to anything remotely squishy getting bum rushed with no hope of forming a defensive wall.
On top of Tactics Orge:LUCT and FFT, I'd suggest Front Mission if you love mechs.
Oh, and beware of Kartia and Hoshigami.
This game's enough to make someone retire from SRPGs.
What about the ds remake? I already went and bought fearing I wouldnt be able to find it, but its still unopened.
Just as frustrating. The story is definitely improved; fourth battle and I've already seen a (good) cutscene that I definitely don't remember from the original.
But the third battle in the game? I lost three characters. Perma-death. I replayed it five times before I finished without a death.
And this is on normal.
It's as difficult as ever, but they've polished it to at least make it worth trying. Barely.
Oh I take it you had a bigger role in this title.
Any hint on what's down the road?
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Also, they aren't SRPG's but the writing in the Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hill series is pretty good (though MGS2 wasn't translated all that brilliantly). Go pick up Ico, Shadow of the Colossus and Okami while you're at it. Oh and there's the God of War's.
That was the funniest line I've heard since Hammer's infamous mad skillz line in Xenogears.
xenogears - well, i did the localization for it. dialogue writing and voice direction and all that. but the game is easily the best ive done (not counting disgaea 2, as i only did items and bonus levels for that).
