Onward with Disgaea 2 tonight, and I made it partway through Episode 3, picking up some frog guy with a French accent who was a friend of Rozalin (the overlord’s daughter) and meeting the thought-to-be-dead TV star again, though after our little encounter he’s now closer than ever.

Leveling was a bit slow today since I was trying to spread it among as many people as possible, so I ended the day with Adell only at level 7. I did manage to unlock a class new to Disgaea 2 though, and created a Druid. One other difference versus the original Disgaea here is that when a new class is unlocked, you still have to successfully pass a bill in the Dark Assembly before you’re allowed to create any characters of that class. It took me a couple tries and some bribery of the senators, but I managed to squeak it through without having to spend too much.

And one more mystery has been solved: according to the trailer on the disc for the associated anime series, it’s pronounced diz-guy-ah.

For a sense of some of the weirdness of this game, check out some pics after the cut:
