Hey, it's not real, right? Live your dreams!
As for the penis, hey, it was Nippon Ichi's fault for making it possible to steal the penis off an enemy, and then made it possible to equip it on girls!
And Etna's hidden room is like the missing link to the entire game, you miss a huge chunk of story if you don't discover it. Then again, it doesn't seem timed properly for people playing through the game the first time, because it gives spoilers for a later chapter... See, this one's clean ;)

So how was Disgaea? Hows the story? the battle system? Whats the deal with the awesome dancing zombie penguins????
Personally Disgaea is the best game I've played on the PS2 by far.
The story scenarios are aptly well written and can be extremely humourous at one time, or sad and thoughtful at another. It can be considered quite above average if you think of the average as FFX. Characters contain certain amounts of depth, and very visibly change in subtle ways throughout the game. There are quite a few twists within the game that would surprise most players.
I personally like that out of the game's possible 8 endings, only the best ending can really be considered a happy ending, and by default "just about all players will arrive at the same sad ending on the first time through, which I personally like more then the "real ending.
The game/battle system is quite well polished. There's a geoeffect system in the game where panels will get different colours and gain different effects depending on what pyramid is on them. The effects are enough to turn the battle too, with some increasing enemy power 3 fold, and some doing 20% damage. All these effects could stack depending on the number of pyramids on them. Meaning you could see battles with panels that do 100% damage to characters.
The main battling part of the game is great too. Each battle allows you to deploy 10 characters in the map at any one time, meaning that if you find that a character has served his purpose, he could go back and you can bring in another new character. But when a character dies, you can't bring in a new one into battle. Speaking of which, there's no way to revive dead characters in battle, you can only do it when the battle ends. You can also throw characters with other characters, meaning that weaker characters could function as "carriers" that help the stronger characters to get to the front line faster, or to get them behind enemies etc.
While the enemy levels are all fixed, the game difficulty actually expects that you train up and pay repeated visits to the item world to level up your items before going through the game though. Ah, and congress, which never willingly passes anything that directly aids you, plays a great part too, as they can increase your mobility, number of times you can counter, and open new worlds. And although you can kill all the congressmen that oppose you, you probably wouldn't be seeing much or any of that on your first time through the game, since your lvls would be way too low. Speaking of which, you can bring your stuff into a new game again each time you finish the game.
Skills in the game are directly related to the weapon used. Depending on how much the character used the weapon, he would get different skills. Class-specific skills are little, except for monster classes. Most of the different human classes are more focused on the weapon proficiency, the stat bonuses from equipping items, and their stat growth. You can also increase stat growth through "reincarnating" the character, where he restarts at level 1, but you can increase his stat growth, and depending on your choices, he can retain most of his skills. There are also minor perks too, you can throw enemies onto each other, and their levels will combine... cool :P
...And the dancing penguins are bodies to the souls of the dead who have to work to atone for the sins that they commited during in their lifetime.
And I say the humour rocks! Though, there's a lot of japanese jokes, which are often ass hard to express in english, and probably can't make it into the english version... And the talk about tentacle rape...

Oh yeah, definitely. Quite a few of the monsters have pretty good growth stats that exceed the human classes. Aside from the main disadvantage that they cannot equip any weapon aside from monster weapons, most of them got their own unique skills, as compared to the humans of whom most of their skills only differ from the choice of weapons. And they can equip the "suspicious tentacles" weapon too, who wouldn't want to use that to attack those girls! Its more of a preference in the end. I *think* some of them might grow to be really powerful, but I haven't tried them all. Plus, you can try to capture monsters from battles, so you don't have to level them that much, whilst you can't capture humans, apparently.
As for that thing where a few characters attack at once, basically when a character attacks, if there are characters beside him/her, there's a chance that they'll join in the attack. The probability that they'll join in is dependant on the weapon used(ie: same or similar weapon type increases the chances) or if they're disciples/master to the attacker(the person who recruits the character is considered the master).

That is too fucking cool. This is going to be one badass SRPG...
My list of monsters to get:
a hot demon-chick
a badass looking dragon
a mean flying thing
