Nippon Ichi Software
 

Whos a fan of these guys (they did Disgaea, best SRPG of this gen) and who hates them?

I played both Disgaea and La Pucelle and enjoyed both for the most part, both the style and the gameplay. My only complaint would be not getting xp for taking normal actions or doing damage/ healing (as in FF tactics) but only for landing the killing blow. Made it really hard to level up certain classes.

I've only played Phantom Brave. It's okay I suppose, but so slow and difficult to get into. Thankfully I have patience.

I also played Phantom Brave however unlike Mudah I have no patience and couldn't figure for the life of me what in the goddamn hell I was supposed to do.

PB is nowhere near as good as Disgaea. PB is pretty boring. Disgaea: Hour of Darkness is awesomelicious, but a bitch and-a-half to find.

I really like Disgaea 2(never played 1) but I can only play a couple levels a week.( actuall I havnt played in a month, and Im on like the 5th chapter)
I totally agree that the EXP system is messed up.
HEALERS SHOULD LVL UP FROM HEALING NOT KILLING! Gah!

Oh and as for the question raised by the original post, NIS Rocks!!!

I'm a huge Nippon Ichi fan, but specifically Atelier Iris. It's a turn based traditional RPG, uses sprite graphics, and is one of the few games I've ever bothered to get 100% completion on. The dialogue is also usually great, with very funny and quirky characters (except PB, but we'll ignore that).

Actually Healers do get xp from healing, it is easy to not notice this if your healer only heals once in a while. I have a healer who has kept up pace with my usual group of characters simply because she's been healing them the moment they get hurt. On regular fights that is, boss fights/difficult matches she's well guarded.

They're reselling the first Disgaea, and for only 30 dollars. If I didn't already own the game, I would curse my complete lack of $30. But I own it, so rawk.

Anyway, Nippon Ichi is probably one of my favorite game companies. Damn the PSP, though.

I've spent 300+ hours on Disgaea 2.

That alone would be enough to classify me as insane except I am going for level 9999 on adell. Just hit 7843.

2156 more to go.

Le sigh...
