The NIS games have a certain charm to them that seems to be absent from the Gust games.
I disagree, I find the Gust titles to be every bit as charming as the NIS games. great storylines and awesome jokes about the RPG industry, and great gameplay makes for a good package. I just wish both the NIS and Gust titles would get more respect from the critics. I swear i'm sick of 1up bashing on every game they make just cuz they use pixels and comparing every gust/NIS title to FFVII.

But yah, i say go for Disgaea 1 first, just cuz the story really is that good. I just can't get enough of flonne, Etna, Captain Gordan, Mid-boss, Laharl, and the rest of the guys from that game. Disgaea 2 still has a good story that centeres around deception in life, but the characters just were not as memorable. They were good, just not AS good, but still had more charisma than you'd find in recent FF titles. such as FFXII or FF tactics advance.
