I finished off chapter 4 in Disgaea 3 over the last couple days, wherein Mao confronted his daddy issues, got turned into a mental child, and the princess Almaz was pining for showed up. Never a dull moment in the Netherworld.
Progress-wise, Mao’s at level 30 now and I’ve unlocked a bunch of stuff like a bigger classroom, a few more character classes, some more school clubs, and the Class World. I haven’t entered the Class World yet, and like many of the other features it won’t really be useful until after the main story, but I’ll probably go through it once sometime soon just for kicks.
Grinding has been fairly minimal so far, though new weapons are starting to get really expensive now. The really good grinding spot isn’t supposed to be until chapter 7, though…
