Disgaea

[Nichi]

Yeah; I sometimes enjoy those types of games, as I can revisit the same world later on just to explore and see what new things I can find, or in the case of Disgaea, attempt to beat the game using nothing but Prinnies (I haven't actually tried this, but I've considered it)

[Chocofreak13]

that sounds badass......but wouldn't you need laharl and the like to advance the plot on certain points?

[Nichi]

I don't think so, since I have beaten some story-important battles using only my original characters, and I've heard people doing a run through the entire game with only a Majin

[Chocofreak13]

xDD

yeah, that'd be pretty awesome. too bad that you have to fulfill insane requirements to get one. :\

[Nichi]

I don't think I'd have the patience to unlock the Majin; besides, I'm a little more into using Star Mages or Star Skulls. Non-elemental magic FTW

[Chocofreak13]

eh, i can be a completionist, so if i ever get that far, i'll post pics. -w-

star magic is awesome, if only for the power of it (gravity ftw). however, considering the sp it eats up, i actually prefer prism magic, if only for the fact that the spells eat up less and you can target an enemy's weakness. harder to master, but easier to use. -w-

(plus, since Giuseppe has Kesshouko as his pupil, and is already a bishop, he can fight AND heal himself. -w-)

Star magic does eat away a lot of MP, but I think it's worth the cost.

In a trilogy of short stories I wrote about some various battles in the first Disgaea, told from the point of view of Pentium the Star Mage, the fact that Star magic eats up a lot of energy comes up a lot; as she'll often push herself too far in battle and often pass out from exhaustion.

i almost made a fancomic about my disgaea characters, but i backed out at the last minute. might try again. :3

[Nichi]

You should try again; wither it be sprite based or hand drawn

[Chocofreak13]

hand-drawn. i'm bad at drawing on the computer, and since this was more serious than a 4-koma, drawing all those sprites wouldn't be viable. >__<

today's play was a little sad; i was going to train my youngest ice mage, Vasilissa, in the item world, but she died on the first round because of a geo panel effect. :[ (i could just picture Laharl screaming at her :\ )

[Nichi]

Sounds like your comics would be a bit like the Disgaea stories I've written. In fact, I'm currently working on a sequel to that trilogy of short stories; which follows the events of the 2nd game from Crystal's point of view.

Also, it always sucks when a character you're trying to level up ends up getting killed in battle

[Chocofreak13]

sounds cool. post some links sometime. :3

and yeah, earlier i was leveling up, and hoshiko was the last one below level 10, and just as he was about to level up, he died. >__<

they need to have a revive item or something.... :\

oh, and i'm coming up with new direction for my game. thinking i'm gonna start subduing specialists and moving them to my characters's items to increase attack, defense, hp, sp, intelligence, etc. that, combined with my plan of giving every healer a mage/skull and everyone who doesn't already have it at least 1 counterattack, is gonna make for a super-powered team. -w-

plus, i like searching out the weird residents. i killed an aeronaut today, and i'm not even sure what that is! >:3

[Nichi]

Yeah; I just have to find somewhere to post them. Maybe my dusty, cobweb-covered Fanfiction.net account still exists...

[Chocofreak13]

lol. like that wordpress account i have but never use ^^;

if you start making comics, a website called smackjeeves hosts webcomics for free. :3

[Nichi]

I've made a few sprite comics (Similar to Neglected Mario Characters in style), but the few that survive fall under Old Shame for how badly written they where
