All of the storyline games have been ridiculously easy so far; I assume the real challenges come from optional quests? I've heard the "power-level one character ad-infinitum" strategy has been toned down from Disgaea: confirm/deny?


Confirm. Because of "Remove" a super-powerful character can only do you so much good. So far all the story missions have been easy but I'm not to the endgame/postgame yet which is when Disgaea really hooked me. Here are some things that have helped me a lot so far:

1) When you take an item back with you from a battle, it will have mana in it - use your fusionist to dump it into things with low mana that you want to level up/get skills from/etc. Fusionists and Titlists are super important in this game.

2) What they call the "Faiulre Dungeon" trick is the best way to level that I've found - if you don't know it, it works like this - get Marona to make a phantom with the Failure title, lift the phantom & talk to Marona to have her kill it & free up the title, get your Dungeon Monk to make a dungeon with super high levels (I go for about 5-7x my highest character), use the Titlist to put Failure on it. You won't get any mana or EXP for killing enemies here but they will also be at 10% strength AND you get the EXP you get for confining to objects - that EXP is calculated by the level of what you confine to so confining a lv1 phantom to a lvl 100something item will gain him 30 levels or so in one pop.

3) To accumulate mana easily on a weapon, pick it up on the island and attack other weapons/characters with it with one of the triggers - I think it's R2. Heal them up with your healer & repeat.

4) When creating a random dungeon, lower level & more floors are what you're shooting for. The more floors, the more powerful the title becomes. Also keep in mind you can put a title on a dungeon and continue leveling it as long as you want. Beware, though - a title on a dungeon confers the title's attributes on ALL MONSTERS in that dungeon.

Any specific questions besides these? I am really enjoying this game so far but the story sucks ass compared to Disgaea.
