Disgaea 3, at first glance, is about a demon, Mao, who wants to defeat his father because he broke his game system and Mao lost hours upon hours of game data. As you play through the game, you find there's more to the story than you're originally told. At its heart, it really is a story about friendship.
I don't normally like "serious" RPGs. They need to be fun and sort of goofy for me to really be able to invest time into them, I can't be bored. RPGs aren't short games that you can complete in ten hours. Disgaea 3 did a really good job of keeping me entertained. It's definitely lighthearted and funny. It breaks the fourth wall a lot and makes fun of itself. At the same time, it's not so much of a joke that it's bad. It has just the right amount of humor to it.
Aside from a great story, the voiceacting and soundtrack are both very well done. The characters are likable, if not a bit over the top at times.
This is a strategy RPG and depending on how in depth you want to go with it, it gets very complex. You can level up your characters to 9,999, but that still won't help you beat the most difficult boss in the game. In order to do that, you'll have to level up your weapons and equipment to 200. But even that isn't simple because it requires you to obtain legendary items. The best weapons and armor are Rank 40. And you'll want them all to have the same value (between 0 and 7) because that gives you a bonus to your stats. You can learn skills and evilities from other characters through the Class World. You can pass bills to unlock new maps and recruit characters (post game) in the Student Council. Your options are almost limitless. There's no real end to the game, you can keep customizing your characters and items for as long as you want.
