what a useless thread

While it's obvious that the postgame in disgaea games is the "real game" to the fans, there's still plenty of regular story content before that which never requires any grinding. I've played a couple of Disgaea games and never feel compelled to get into the post-game content because it's too mindless, but the stories are okayish as a guilty pleasure.

I think the stages should have a limit on how much you can over level them, on my first playthrough I had tons of fun doing all sorts of strategies and building towers and throwing characters.

Once you realize 90%+ of the mechanics can be ignored by just over leveling 1 faggot the game becomes way less interesting.

If a stage has lvl 100 monsters, maybe the highest you can be is 150, or something like that, but if you bring a lvl 500 faggot there it's just a snoozefest.

well that depends on how many characters you're using, but if you're the kind of person who makes a dozen characters in chapter one, you probably don't mind grinding

In all seriousness though, there's actually a pretty good deal of strategy in Disgaea games. Buffs/debuffs are something like a 20% modifier, lift/throw makes enemies waste turns/lets you cover more ground quickly, and in the later games passive abilities become an important consideration as well.

The only real problem is that the story is capped hilariously low compared to your maximum power level, so simply brute forcing your way through is incredibly easy. People like you then figure that is the only way through the game, and we get threads like this.

Post game? Yeah, that's a grind. But at that point you are "done" with the game extra and all the real grinding is 100% optional past that point. If you really get into the systems it can be a blast min/maxing your way to the top. If you aren't into that, then drop the game once you finish the story.

Grinding is fun but not in an SRPG, fucking ew

It's fun to see numbers go up.

and they go way, way the fuck up in disgaea

Not for nothing OP but you decided to go out of your way to grind for the main story, they're balanced around a normal rpg level curve. When it comes to postgame its not about brute force grinding but rather about gaming the system to make the grind as trivial as possible.

The addition of Evilities and Overloads added more of a strategy to the game. With Squad Attacks, certain abilities and Overloads, it is very possible to take down enemies WAAAY stronger than you

Usalia's Overload/Berserker mode deals damage to all enemies, but also opens up combo attack range, meaning she can assist allies all over the board.

Keeping Christo next to your lower level/accuracy units gives them 100% accuracy+25% evasion chance, plus some of his healing abilities make him great support.

Zeroken isn't particularly strong, but slap a couple of Accelerators/Thrusters on him to raise his movement. One of his passive abilities raises his evasion for each square moved, another raises his crit rate. He can also temporarily raise his movement range if he moves after attacking. He's pretty much an untouchable scout for me against higher level enemies.

There's a shit ton of DLC characters that also have their niches. Like Pokemon, right now I'm more about powerleveling my fave characters before I take on some of the more extreme post game stuff. Then again I'm kind of casual when it comes to Disgaea. Highest level character was 2000 for me before reincarnation, but using all sorts of different strategies to take down higher level enemies was always fun.
