I used to play the hell out of 1 and 2 back in the PS2 days, but I haven't touched the series beyond that, and haven't even played 1/2 much in the last 10 years.

How would you rate 4 in comparison? I noticed it was on sale in the Switch eShop, and I'd love to have one of the series to play on the go.

What I loved about the ones I played:

Story had a good balance of comedy and heart
Flexible and fun character building, with decent enough defined classes to get you started
Tons of post-game/side content (I didn't like every piece of it, but I liked how much there was to try.)
CAPTAIN GORDON, DEFENDER OF EARTH
Perfect geochains, though I was usually too smoothbrain for it.

What I didn't like:

Item world, IIRC worse in 1 than 2?
Adell's siblings
Demon court thing?

Disgaea 4 has a worse story than D1 and 2, with Valvatorez being pretty much my least favorite of the Overlords (SARDINES! is not funny and never will be) but... is improved in every other way. Sadly it doesn't carry over Disgaea 3's "EVERYONE IS HERE!" policy in terms of the post-game/DLC, and neither does anything else...

I hope D8 comes back to that...

I miss Nisa and it's not like she's going to be in HD Neptunia anytime soon.... not that I'd play HD Neptunia
