    Actually, Disgaea 3 and 4 are both on PS3. Even if they are on newer systems, these games all have a sort of old-school look. They're all 2D sprites for characters, and 3D environments. They all have humoristic and sort of simplistic plots, but the gameplay has gotten really nicely polished over the years, and is probably the most fun SRPG to actually play these days. Attacks and units are all a bit over the top, but that's part of the charm. If you get tired of them, you can turn the more elaborate attack animations off to make battles faster. This is usually a good idea after the first 100 hours.

    Oh yes, that's another thing. These games all have a very time-consuming end-game. To truly complete every part of the battle content, you'll need a lot of time. To play through the story, though, you won't need much more time than most rpgs. I think I generally spent 50-70 hours on my first story playthrough for each of the games.
