Milestone reached in my Disgaea legacy

[gibb]

I've been a fan of the Disgaea games since launch day of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness on the PS2. Since that day, I've been relatively obsessed with Disgaea games and news, to the point where I warned my girlfriend of a few months (at the time) that I would need my 'Disgaea-time' every once in a while when a new game or port came out. She accepted, even going so far as to say "it's cute how much you like Disgaea."

Over these past 11 or so years, I've spent a considerable amount of time playing Disgaea games, but surprisingly, I've never really explored the depths of the post game content as much as the typical fan. Usually how I play my Disgaea is I create a ton of characters, usually as many as is allowed, and I strive to keep them relatively similarly powered and leveled. If somebody starts to fall considerably behind, I'll spend a couple hours making him/her/it relevant again.

So last night I finally reached a milestone, playing Disgaea 4 on the Vita. I leveled a character to 9999. Prior to this I think my highest ever character was likely in the low 6000's in Disgaea D2. My first 9999 is a nekomata named Nina, who I've recreated in every game so far that has had a nekomata class. Shortly after that, I got Desco to 9999, and Fenrich is not far behind at 8900 or so.

Next up on my list of milestones to complete is to get a level 40 weapon.

Does anybody else remember the first time they got to 9999? Or the first time they got a Yoshitsuna, or the first time they defeated Baal?

congrats man, i remember my first freak out when i played the first Disgaea, when I finally hit 9999 grinding CoO3 for a very long time until I finally reached 9999 with laharl, thinking a cosmic blade was the be all end all sword, and proceeded to get one shooted by baal.

Then I started researching items and how to power everything up...and thats where it all began. That was about...2007ish

My first level 40 weapon (outside of prinny suit in HOD) was actually a Ultimus in D2. But it was never perfected, I never made a full set of 19998 residents in a item in HOD or D2(though I did make one, I gave up soon after though).

My first perfect weapon/character was in D3, Laharl of course, while marathoning class world in my dorm. I then proceeded to platinum Disgaea 3 just before 4 came out, to finally be my putting the game down.

Disgaea 4 I haven't done much to brag about to call a milestone at thsi point, but i've done enough to say I'm more or less done with it, just have to clean up some odds and ends. (as well as all the netplay features)

Disgaea D2 - I beat Baal in the endurance battle, which was maybe one of the most challenging thing i've ever done in any disgaea, that Baal fight was just magical to me, I never had to do such preperation or create unique strategies or anything in a Disgaea title,also was the most frustrating (unless you want to count getting out of the first part loop in Infinite or Asagi Wars in Prinny 2).

It's the little things like this, that make the grinding and time you put into it worth it for me. I always felt that Disgaea was a game that reflected the time you invested in it.
