I'm clueless about what you guys are talking about here, but Disgaea is nummy. Although the battle system drives me nuts because its so tedious. (Love Earthbound's weaker-than system...)

Aside from geopanels, most other SRPGs are probably a lot more tedious. When I played Fire Emblem for the GBA I was going nuts because I couldn't take back movements. Sometimes I would move to the wrong square by accident and proceed to headbutt my DS across the room. That really forces you to tread slowly. Of course if you don't work fast enough some bastard barbarian will raze a town you could have liberated.Originally Posted by Tifa
Don't they do that in Fire Emblem? Now that I think about it I'm not so sure.

But my absolute *favorite* thing about Disgaea is when Nessa dressed up as Etna for one of those cons years ago.

DON'T TALK ABOUT SRPGS THAT WAY!
:'(
I do not find most SRPGs tedious at all... in fact, Disgaea is the MOST tedious SRPG i've played. Not thats its very tedious, but sometimes playing it feels like a chore. It's still fun, but it's no Tactics Ogre or Shining Forcehaha.. but i'm biased..
I will admit SRPGs are not for everyone.. maybe i'm just a fanatic... i tried to get my friend Nick to play Tactics Ogre on GBA and he got bored of it.
D&D Tactics is nice because it uses initiative rolls to determine who goes when, so you don't have to keep scrolling/tabbing around looking for guys you haven't moved yet.
Disgaea could use some interface changes to streamline the experience. What I really, really want is an action that lets me repeat the previous action from the last round (attacking, heal X person if possible, etc.). What also bothers me is the fact that if I set a Healer to heal/buff someone and then move that target before executing the action, the Healer just sorta forgets the order. But I honestly think the fact that I can cancel movements and stuff makes for a lot of flexibility. Hardcore SRPGs are fun, but it's really only something you can do when you have a clear mind. Especially when permadeath is involved.
Maybe it's that flexibility that makes Disgaea so tedious to some people though...There's so much you can capitalize on. You could spend tons of time on a single turn.
I really need D&D Tactics now.

I should start Disgaea back up again. I believe I got into the 9th or 10th chapter before I stopped playing PS2 games altogether for that stretch of time. I don't find it very tedious on the whole, but certain aspects of it could certainly use tweaking---the Dark Assembly being one of them.
I think I spent the last 10 hours of play time in the Item World. I keep powering up items and finding other items to power up while I'm in there. It's a never ending cycle and I love it.
Hero façade. Villain at heart.
Gamestop IDed me for Persona 3 yesterday... I'm 29 years old... hahahaha... it was great...
We card under 30 or the ESRB fires people. Gotta love retardation.

yeah but i buy plenty of M games.. and never get carded.. quite a few from the same guy working the register.
Or maybe phones should include hold switches?
That would be a highly intelligent thing to do.

Exactly!
Then in that case, get a flip phone, You don't deserve to use one if you can't lock/unlock your phone with the shortcut =P haha
Flip phones are so out of style now ...
Also I totally bought Persona 3. Haha.
❤
Excellent for you!
And I have some friends with some pretty ghetto flip phones... their cameras don't have locking functionality, so they're always taking pictures of their pockets.
Mine doesn't do that. I don't really get it.
