Sooo, I've just started playing the origial Disgaea.
 
Yep. Now I'm addicted to it. I've tried Strategy RPGs before and hated them, but this one is ridiculous, like a fountain of chocolately goodness laced with nicotine. I love going back to old levels to grind some more money for better equipment, or some more exp to gain higher levels and more advanced classes. It takes forever, but that's ok.
 
I also love the structure of it, having the hub world that you go back to after each level to buy equipment/create characters and go back to use the shit you just got. This is kinda how I played the Dragon Age expansion, but it lacked depth. In Disgaea, I have found that depth.
 
I am only 4:45 in though, so I've got a looooong way to go before the endgame.
