I have played all 3 Disgaea games and they are truly awesome games that everyone should play atleast once, I've been playing Disgaea for about 7 years now same save file and I can say that I am determined to do everything, atm I can handle Baal (the toughest boss in the game) who has a level count of 4000 and I can kill him without having to steal his awesome armor/weapons (but I still do steal them cause they are just awesome) and I don't bother to use Laharl or either of the storyline characters I have a team of 4 Paladin 8 Divine Majin (best non monster fighter in the game with s rank in every weapon and 120% on every single stat) 1 Geomancer 1 Space Pirate. Everything you need lol though I don't always use the Geomancer though, just for laughs.
