Um, it's the american one.

I got it at Gamestop used.

Here's some stuff! But I'd say it's definately worth $20.

Unless you consider the fact that Disgaea 2 comes out next week and costs $50. If you didn't realize that or weren't planning on getting it, the $20 might go better toward that.

I already have Disgaea 2 paid off, so I'm good to go on that.

What the hell is Devil Tuna?

Whoop, don't mind me, I thought this was something else.

What's the mediocre korean rpg where all the male characters are more or less in drag?

I'm all for boys looking like girls, but Magna Carta is too much. I hate how every female character in that game has breasts the size of station wagons. All in all Magna Carta was a huge disappointment.

How is Stella Deus? I've seen that game for a long time and it looks fun.

I have yet to try out S.D. thinking maybe this weekend I will give it a run.

Is Disgaea worth the 50 bucks? I mean, it's fucking fifty used!

The second one is out in september I think. Maybe hold out for that?

I don't see what's so great about Disgaea. I've played it, Phantom Brave and La Pucelle and of the three I like Phantom Brave the most.

Disgaea is good if you really like SRPGs. You will do a lot of level grinding, but the story is very cute/funny/good. The character design is a little narrow, but it is all good character design. The main thing is how deep the tactics in the game go. Not number crunching, but the amount of options you have on what to do. The characters can get to disgustingly high levels so the game is nearly infinitly playable. Also, item worlds.

As far as the $50 thing, it's an Atlus game which means that it usually retains its MSRP in the used market. It even got two printings and still demands that price. If it ever does go down it will be in a few years if people start saying "Just get Disgaea 2, it's so-o much better!" Then demand will drop.

I don't know if it is worth the asking price, but I paid $40 shipped for it and played it for about 20 hours before I realised what the item worlds were... which I then stopped playing because of. Although the grinding was starting to get to me.
