Hoihoi wasn't that fun. But it was fun.
yeah...alright. maybe I should try, since both of you liked it. If only to find out what your respective problems are :D
and! I don't have phantom brave! I don't even have disgaea!!
That's TERRIBLE! Buy Disgaea now, even if you have no hope of finishing it within your short lifetime!
And oh yeah, hey Ishmael... did you ever finish the game? Or was it someone else?
Personally I have yet to finish it... I wish I was still roomies with this mad power-leveling guy named Harvey (who was actually Filipino). He actually leveled up my Tales of Destiny party in his spare time, promising to stay away from story events. Of course that game had coop battles as well, and goddamn could you bust out insane combos with two humans behind the controls.
The guy was also always in the mood to play vs fighting games (Alpha 2, Guilty Gear, Rival Schools)... he was good, but I usually came out on top.
It was like having a girlfriend that wanted to have sex ALL THE TIME. Nice guy though, I wonder if he finished med school.

my question is . . . just how is the disgaea cast in the game? (story-wise i mean) and why do they need to kick prinnies out of the throne room?
They only appear after the main story of PB is over. Then Laharl appears and tries to take over the dimension, and every time you beat him, he goes away, powers up, and tries again, so in the end Marrone and Ash have to fake losing just to get him to stop. :p
The prinny fight is just a pure leveling up fight. It's what's there on the map after you beat Mid-boss, who had a little story of his own, but I didn't understand it.

Hey, where's the video? Did you delete it? Could you upload it again? I'd like to see it, thanks ^_^
I ran out of bandwith, but some kind soul was nice enough to repost it here:

I'll be doing another video or two, but I'll only be able to upload it on the 1st of March when my bandwith limit resets.

Thanks for the vids, I enjoyed them, even if I only recognized the Disgaea characters (and the penguins).
The other characters are all from Phantom Brave, so it would be odd if you recognized them. :p

But at least I've finally seen and made an idea of how this game and Disgaea (from other vids) are, since you people are always talking about them. And, wow, I'd never seen a non-grid based Tactical RPG battle system before. This way looks much more "realistic" (or whatever) and open to possibilities (and difficult to me, I'm afraid  ). Is it new from this game or was it somewhere else before?
Not the first game to do it by a long shot. Sakura Taisen 3 was the first game I played to have it, but there might have been others. But you're right when saying it opens up the possiblities. That little change alone gives the game more depth than you would guess. I've been able to use it to my advantage many a time.

Oh, and what's with jumping over that girl's head?
That was a joke request by someone who saw the first video and has given me tips on the game, so I threw it in. The girl is Marrone, the star of PB. The guy is Ash, who is a phantom but also her best friend.

Other than not knowing Japanese, I don't consider Phantom Brave difficult to play. Challenging yes, but you can beat the story without too much trouble. There's plenty of extra stuff for people who want a challenge though. The cool thing is the game is very flexible. There's rarely only one way to clear a map (unlike Disgaea sometimes) and there's a ton of customization possible with your characters.
I've even invented games in it, like monster hot potato. Basically, I have a weak character I want to level up on a map with one powerful enemy. Enemies normally kill the weakest of the herd, so I've got to pick him up and toss him around to keep him from killing my weak character while allowing that character to get his/her whacks in. :p
