I'm probably late to the party but I just found out a true sequel is coming out for the original Disgaea. As a huge strategy rpg fan this is a must have for me. I felt the original just had so much character and plenty of LoL moments. When I get home I need to get the limited edition ordered!

I found out too late to get the one with the included strategy guide, but it's a lot for me to drop anyway considering that I haven't played much more than a few hours of the first one (despite owning several titles in the franchise).
Still a pretty sweet looking LE, though.
Where's Disgaeaniac? He'd love to talk more about this game, I'm sure :)

My ears were ringing :P
@Deso/Varkias -
Not like odds are that good or anything -but- there's a link in a (pretty) recent post on the "VGCollect Anonymous/Misc" thread to a chance at a free copy of the LE (w/ the guide).
As for me...well...had all my pre-ordering done the 1st day it was up for pre-ordering!
(NOT that that will come as much of a surprise to anyone here:)
-
Sounds good, I'll check out the link. Thanks!

Funny how this is the first Disgaea I haven't really followed because I'm worn out on the series, and now it looks like it might end up being one of the best.... Just my friggin luck.... >.<'

Yeah, I feel ya, teck 8)
Although Disgaea & Shadow Hearts are, by far, my favorite 2 series - the Disgaea games (*Especially*, if you're like me, and go for ALL of the post-game content as well:) *Really* pretty much require a "cool-down" period (I think) due to the *MASSIVE* time investment + the amount of time necessary to 'study' and learn everything there is to know about how all of the (many & complex) systems in the game(s) work.

Oops, apparently I accidentally bought two copies of the Disgaea D2 hardbound strategy guide. In case anyone's looking for one in the future....

How interested I would have been in the past.... If I hadn't retired my strat guide collection I'm sure I would be all over it....

Indeed!
I (*finally*) received my (*Delayed*) strat guides in yesterday's mail -and- I've just got to say that they're very impressive ;D
Nicely bound, great-looking, and informative - gorgeous art work + it includes a free DLC code for another (in-game) play-able character *and* (1 of 3) awesome looking Lithograph prints!
Definitely keeping my 'extras' sealed...FWIW (I know, I know - not very fucking much:) I'm seeing this as a definite, high value & hard to find item in the near future (like the LUNAR guides were)...only bigger, better, and in hardcover ;)
Oh yeah; as I was commenting before on the (what could be) an overwhelming learning-curve/sheer amount of knowledge of so many systems, arithmetic -and- of understanding how everything works...to new/virgin players of and to the series - the 1st (big/hardcover-sized) 60 pages, or so are what makes up "The Basics" chapter :o

Oh, I'd forgotten all about the prints. I'll have to check mine when I get home. Also, your comments make me feel a bit better that I accidentally bought a dupe. I figured someone will want it someday!

Let me know when you see which print you have!
Yeah, IMO, if I were you, I wouldn't worry at all about being able to get your money back -but- you might wanna wait & see if you can double...or triple...your money by holding on to it for a bit ;)

Already ahead of you! ;) 8) And yeah, I'll definitely let you know about the prints. Are they sealed inside of the books or just bundled with the packaging?
-
You have to take the plastic seal off - they're inside of the book itself.

Aw, that sucks. I was hoping at least one sealed for whomever may choose to buy it.

;D
Actually though, w/ the way many things have been stream-lined & tweaked (like...diagonal throwing being a cinch) - I would say that, IMO, this may very well be the most accesible/new-player-friendly Disgaea game yet.
Also, A LOT of those 60 pages are mathematical break-downs & explanations about why & how everything does exactly what it does (everything that's going on 'under-the-hood'); which, isn't really necessary at all to simply playing & enjoying the game.
