Disgaea[edit]

Self-nomination. I've been working on this article off and on since July of last year, and it's come a long way since then. I believe it compares favorably with current video game featured articles like Super Mario 64 and Doom. A peer review request from last month is available. - RedWordSmith 03:54, Mar 12, 2005 (UTC)

  • I find it hard to understand. Could perhaps do with greater clarity to overcome the inherent complexities of the fiction. Neutral. Everyking 07:07, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Fair enough, could you give me an example of something you found confusing? Is the prose just a touch on the thick side? - RedWordSmith 21:52, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • Object: the gameplay section needs some work, IMO. More information regarding the character creation system and the Dark Senate, in particular, would be useful, and it could probably stand to be broken up into pertinent subheaders, or at the very least have more frequent paragraph breaks: finding info on the item world, as it is, involves reading halfway through a rather sprawling block of text. And the last paragraph in the section doesn't really seem to relate to gameplay at all: the information is valuable, certainly, but it should be in another section, IMO.

    Also, it feels like there should be at least one screenshot from the game somewhere in there. But aside from these points, it's looking pretty good, and is only one or two edits away from featured status quality, IMO. – Seancdaug 03:15, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)

  • Question: What similiarities does it share with other games and what type of Console RPG Cliches does it suffer from? I don't see an article link for Disgaea (manga). -- AllyUnion (talk) 03:16, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • It doesn't actually invoke too many cliches at all. Looking over the list gave me a few ideas of things to add (only one set of stores, characters don't sleep to restore HP, etc). As for the manga, I haven't been able to find any good information about it at all -- all of the hits Google has about it are stores selling it. - RedWordSmith 07:32, Mar 17, 2005 (UTC)=

For the sake of RedWorthSmith's dream, I'm gonna devote my Wiki time to improving the quality of the Disgaea article! --A Link to the Past 02:09, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
