SECTION 1 - FAQ

==================
==================



Q: How do I pronounce Disgaea?

A: You'll be surprised that I've seen this questions several times. Disgaea is pronounced as "Dis-gai-ya(h)".
Any other way(s) of pronouncing is inaccurate.

==========

Q: what does Disgaea means?

A: Disgaea literally translate to dis (not) and gaea (earth/world). Not earth/world. How you perceive the sentence, I'll leave
it to you.

==========

Q: I am new to/never heard of Disgaea. Is it worth playing? Should I get it?

A: Disgaea is an SRPG. But what makes it unique from others is the depth it provides. Disgaea has:
- A level cap of 9999 (not a typo)
- Huge replayability
- 10 different endings to see
- Geo symbols which make the battle more strategic, having a puzzle sort of element in it;
- Item world, which consist of randomly generate stages when you enter an item to level it up (yes, items
can level up too, making it stronger/better)
- Dark Assembly, where you can create your own generic character, pass proposals for different purposes, etc
- And the whole game itself is packed with plenty of laughters and parody of pop culture. It is entertaining,
yet it tells a grand story (if you've figured out the ultimate truth of the whole story).
- Multiplayer battles with loads of strategical element thrown in.

All in all, I would say its definitely worth playing/getting.

==========

Q: How long is this game?

A: If you are a complete newbie to this game, with no referencing to guides whatsoever, it should take you
around 50 hours+ to complete. For a seasoned player, around 10 to 15 hours.

==========

Q: Is there a New Game+ in this game?

A: Yes there is.

==========

Q: What do I retain in New Game+? What can I do in NG+?

A: Refer to Section 8, "ENDINGS/NEW GAME+"

==========

Q: I heard Disgaea DS reduced the amount of characters you can have compared to its previous incarnations, is
it true?

A: Yes. You only have 51 slots for characters, which 16 of that are reserved for special characters.

==========

Q: I heard Disgaea DS heavily reduced the amount of voice acting in Disgaea DS, is it true?

A: Unfortunately, it is true. With the exception of the intro and chapter previews, all other voice acting
that should've been present was removed from the game to reduce game file size.

==========

Q: What are the difference between the PS2/PSP/DS version?

A: Refer to Section 12, "COMPARISON OF THE DISGAEA PS2, PSP AND DS VERSION"

==========

Q: I already have Disgaea PS2, should I get this; or which version should I get? DS, PSP or PS2?

A: Refer to Section 12, "COMPARISON OF THE DISGAEA PS2, PSP AND DS VERSION" and decide for yourself if you
think it's worth it/whichever version is of your preference.

==========

Q: Should I get this game, or should I <insert name of other game here>?

A: My answer would be "Disgaea" 95% of the time, so it depends on you if you'd like to follow my advice or not.

==========

Q: Will Disgaea 2 be ported to the DS?

A: As of now, nobody with the exception of NIS executive would know. There hasn't been any statement NIS made
concerning this, even if they did planned for a DS port, it'll have to wait until Disgaea 2 PSP gets its
localization first.

==========

Q: What is a good starting team?

A: Some people will tell you otherwise, but a team with a balanced amount of melee users and magic users/healers
would be the best. Though, the game is actually most easily beaten by solo-ing the way through.

==========

Q: What is the BEST party set up for APVP?

(Copypasta'd from Section 11 for your convinience)

A: A party consisting of 1 Pleinair and 9 Ninjas, all off them wielding the Omni Staff, 2xSRS and 1 Hyperdrive
with the same rarity, perfected for 5 million INT and 20 mil SPD (doesn't necessarily need to be this high),
Wielding a reasonably high-levelled Tera Star.

LET THE CARNAGE BEGINS.

P.S. It's boring, I know but since you asked for the BEST, I gave you the BEST.


==========

Q: What weapon should I use?

A: It depends on your preference, but the most used weapons have got to be the swords, axes and staves (plural
of staff). Swords have good skills for AoE, but requires some positioning. Axes have good skills for hitting
a single unit for heavy damage (i.e. great for solo-ing), but some of them requires some free space(s).
Magics are the most versatile as they require not positioning/free spaces, and hit for long range (as far
as 9 spaces away).

==========

Q: I cant beat <insert stage name/enemy name here>!! Help please??

A: If there is something you can't beat, use the basic strategies as how you would with other SRPGs.

- Level up your characters some more. Use some good levelling stages to aid you in the process.
- Buy better equips for your characters.
- Steal away enemies' equips.
- Level up equips in the Item World (remember to always carry a Mr. Gency Exit though!)
- Use Geo Symbols to your advantage, destroy Geo Symbols that are disadvantageous towards you ASAP.
- You can tower throw by picking up a character, and then picking them up with another
character.
- Transmigrate to a higher tier of that specific class, and to a better characteristic
such as skilled, genius, etc.
- A good SRPG player should be able to predict the opponent's next move, and forming a way to counter it
or better yet, forming your moves in such a way that the opponent acts the way you want them to.
- Use the S in the SRPG.
- Never give up.

==========

Q: How do I capture enemies?

A: Refer to Section 3, "CHARACTERS/STATS/GENERAL EXPLAINATION".

==========

Q: How do I fill up the bonus gauge fast?

A: - Learn to Geo chain.
- Create a bunch of thieves, attack an enemy and finish it off with a strong unit.
- Scout's Geo Change may help.

==========

Q: I don't get the Geo Symbols and Chaining thingy! Help?

A: Geo Symbols are artifacts which carry different effects on all the same colored panels they reside on.
Geo Chaining is the triggering of massive destruction of Geo Panels, which ultimately leads to the Panel
Termination Bonus. For more info, refer to Section 7, "SPECIALISTS/RESIDENTS/ITEM WORLD/GEOS".

==========

Q: I can't reach the zombie king in Cave of Ordeal 5!! Help?

A: There are two possible ways to reach the zombie king.
- Tower throwing using TWO characters which are able to throw as far as 6 panels away. Only Gordon and thieves
have such throwing range.
- Using a Hyperdrive (an equipment).

==========

Q: Etna Mode, should I use the code or proceed using New Game+?

A: I would say yes to the latter, as this is the only way you'll gain access to the best levelling spot in the
game, the Etna Cave of Ordeal 3. Starting the game by inputting the code will make the enemies' levels
significantly lower compared to the enemies in Etna Mode using New Game+.

==========

Q: How do I get the option to choose between Laharl Mode or Etna Mode using New Game +?

A: Refer to Section 8, "ENDINGS/NEW GAME+"

==========

Q: What is the code for starting off with Etna Mode?

A: For Disgaea DS version, JP & NA release - Input "X - Y - B - X - Y - B - A" with your cursor on the New Game.
You will hear Etna's voice before it starts.

For the PSP version, JP release - Input "Triangle, Square, X, Triangle Square, X, Circle" with your cursor
on the New Game. You will hear Etna's voice before it starts.

For the PSP version, NA release - Input "Triangle, Square, Circle, Triangle Square, Circle,
X" with your cursor on the New Game. You will hear Etna's voice before it starts.

==========

Q: What is this "Glitched Foresights/Glitched Tainted Staff" I've been hearing of?

A: Those are only present in the PSP version of Disgaea AoD. They are Foresights/Tainted Staffs which contains
high amount of pre-subdued specialists, and only contain Laharls in their item world. The Glitched Foresights
when equipped, reduces the jump of a character to -100.

==========

Q: Counter glitch?

A: A glitch present in only Disgaea PSP version that freezes the game when the "counter-counter-counter..."
writing exceeds the screen.

==========

Q: Monster capture glitch?

A: A new glitch present in Disgaea DS whereby monsters you catch are not registered towards the total unit you get
to dispatch. Example, if I have six units and capture another, I will only still have six units available to
dispatch. The way to fix this is to obtain more than 10 characters count in your party either through recruiting
or creation.

Courtesy of canuckgamer.

==========

Q: Thursday Arigato Roboto glitch?

A: If Thursday would get a level up from killing something with this attack, the game freezes. If he does not level up,
you can continue playing normally.

So... use him at your own risk! (a lvl 9999 Thursday has nothing to worry about)

Courtesy of Eruditious.

==========

Q: How do I get the Hyperdrive?

A: Refer to Section 6, "ITEMS/EQUIPMENTS".

==========

Q: How do I get the Legendary Cosmic Blade?

A: Refer to Section 6, "ITEMS/EQUIPMENTS".

A: There are THREE ways to get out from the Item World
-Using a Mr. Gency exit (can be used anytime)
-Selecting Yes after being prompted to (only available for every 10 floors you clear).
-All your 10 units you dispatched die and you get the GAME OVER screen. Congratulations :D

==========

Q: How do I get more Mr. Gency Exit?

A: For every 10 floors in the Item World, it will appear as the first prize in the bonus list. You cannot purchase
in shops, and never see it on other bonus lists.

==========

Q: Are there any missables in this game?

A: The only truly missables in this game are some items. More info on Section 6, "ITEMS/EQUIPMENTS".

==========

Q: OH NO!! I killed the <insert castle NPC here> and now I cant proceed to the next map/Item World/etc!! HELP??!!

A: Save your game and reset/reboot it. The NPC will be resurrected.

==========

Q: What is the customer's product rank for?

A: You can pass the "More Expensive Items" bill in accordance to your customer product rank. This will increase
you product rank, and the highest ranked product you can buy from the stores are Rank 38 items. Also note
that shops will only sell common items, never rare or legendary item.

==========

Q: What is the diffrences between Reincarnation and the word "transmigration" you used?

A: They're essentially the same thing.

==========

Q: What is transmigration, what does it do? What are the significance of it, when should I start transmigrating
etc?

A: Refer to Section 5, "DARK ASSEMBLY/TRANSMIGRATION".

==========

Q: How do I get the option to transmigrate?

A: Refer to Section 3, "CHARACTERS/STATS/GENERAL EXPLAINATION".

==========

Q: How many characters can I have at a given time?

A: Refer to Section 3, "CHARACTERS/STATS/GENERAL EXPLAINATION".

==========

Q: How to raise the % in team attack?

A: Two ways
- When those participating in team attack are masters/pupils to each other.
- When those participating in team attack are wielding the same weapon.

==========

Q: How are EXP split between those participating in team attack?

A: If the enemy dies within the team attack, every participant will obtain 1/2 of the EXP, regardless of the number
of participants.

==========

Q: How do I get fast money?

A: Two ways
- Equip a lvl 300 Broker (a specialist) on your main attacker, this will net him 300% extra boost in money
when an enemy is killed.
- Now this is a cheap way. Get someone's spear mastery to lvl 26 fast by hitting him/herself with an ally
repeatedly in a stage covered with Invincibility panel, then enter and exit the Dark Assembly using that
character, talk to Longinus (the spear in the middle of the room in your castle) and you will get it.
Sell of Longinus for plenty of money, lose to Mid-Boss, and get it back on the subsequent playthrough,
Rinse and repeat as needed.

==========

Record Keeper, and use them as you would like any other items in battle.

==========

Q: How do I train up Flonne/cleric? She/They don't even have any offensive magic spells!

A: Actually, Flonne do learn one, but it comes pretty late. Refer to Section 3 "CHARACTERS/STATS EXPLAINATION" for
an alternative many players use.

==========

Q: What is/is not considered an ally kill?

A: Refer to Section 8, "ENDINGS/NEW GAME+"

==========

Q: How do I unlock new class/tiers?

A: Refer to Section 3, "CHARACTERS/STATS EXPLAINATION"

==========

A: Refer to Section 3, "CHARACTERS/STATS EXPLAINATION"

==========

Q: What is tha picture of Laharl in chapter 5?

A: There have been many speculations, but the most popular ones have gotta be Laharl crossdressing and playing/sleeping
with plushies.

==========

Q: Who is that silent bunny girl, red-haired dood, the blonde-haired chick and the red weird book?

A: The bunny girl is Takehito's physical depiction of what his fetishes of a bunny girl silent lolita looks like, and
is also his signature *coughobsessioncough* character.

The latter two are Adell and Rozalin, the main characters of Disgaea 2, while the book is Zetta,
and is the main character of Makai Kingdom.

==========

Q: Who is that male cleric standing at one corner in my castle?

==========

Q: Can I use a <insert higher/another tier(s) of a corresponding class> instead of <insert base tier of a
the same corresponding class> to unlock the Ronin/Majin/Ninja etc?

A: Yes, you can.

==========

Q: At what levels are higher tiers for <insert class here> unlocked?

A: Refer to this guide - http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/589678/26232

==========

Q: Can I delete away the characters I used to unlock Ronin/Majin/etc after I have unlocked it?

A: Yes, you may. Once unlocked, the class/tier stays unlocked.

==========

Q: What character would you recommend me to unlock during the early stages of the game?

A: Ronin. With a winning 110% apt in attack and S mastery in axes and swords, they are pure mean hovoc-wreaking
units.

==========

Q: Why is Pleinair so uber and 1337?

A: Because Pleinair is the beloved *coughfetishcough* creation of Takehito Harada so he demanded NIS to make her
super uber and 1337, what's with the levitating animation and all as depicted in his artwork.

Also, because she has the godly HIT and SPD aptitudes and possesses a unique evasion formula just like
the ninja, but better because she doesn't evades curative spells.

==========

Q: How do I train Flonne/Clerics??

A: Using the master/pupil skill learning strategy (explained in Section 4, "SKILLS/SPELLS"), have them learn
some offensive spell(s) and use it against the enemies.

==========

Q: Why can't I unlock the last tier of Prinny, dood?

A: That's normal. It is the Big Sis Prinny, and can only be unlocked via cheating, ......dood.

==========

Q: What is the strongest class in the game?

A: The Majin class. Unlock them for yourself and you'll see what I mean.

==========

Q: How do unlock a generic monster for creation?

A: Defeat a generic monster once, and it'll be unlocked for creation.

==========

Q: The monster is too mana hefty for me to create!

A: With repeated killing of that same monster, it becomes less mana hefty every time.

==========

Q: What is the strongest generic monster class in the game?

A: I would say Galactic Demons because of their insane apt in res and def. Kit Kats are also good for their Mystic
Blast.

Prinnies also double as a 100% hit rate success bomb, so you might wana dig that.

==========

Q: How do I trans a humanoid into a monster/vice versa?

A: Trans the humanoid into a Prinny, then trans the Prinny into a monster. And the opposite applies as well.

==========

Q: Are Rogues good?

A: Rogues are only good for stealing, as they are the only class that can steal at 99% success rate. They
also can stat stats besides Thursday (it's redundant though). To steal at 99% success rate, the Rogue has to
be around 52% of the enemy's lvl he's trying to steal from.

==========

Q: I heard Rogues can go around stealing others' stats?

A: It's true, however as it is but very time consuming (wasting) and redundant, I do not encourage even thinking
to max stats using this way. AT ALL. Moreover, there's a cap towards it, which you will NEVER EVER have the
patience to see it through. If anything, I'm assuming it'll be capped at 65,000 per stat.

==========

Q: How do I go around training a Rogue? He's so weak!

A: One way many players used is to lvl up a Majin's wpn mastery high enough, then transmigrate him into a Rogue.
Have him wield a sword, and Winged Slayer Cave of Ordeal 3, Demonhall Mirror, etc.

==========

Q: How do I go around unlocking the Majin/Angel fast? Those requirements are so damn high!

A: Have a strong character create the generics needed to unlock the Majin/Angel class, have them all wield
the same weapon, and place them in this formation

---E---
--PMP--
---P---

E- Enemy
M- Master
P- Pupil

and use Cave of Ordeal 3 or whatever good levelling spot for the process. The pupils will all get 1/2
of the total EXP for killing the monster when they participate in the team attack and level up very fast.

==========

Q : Which stat is used to calculate the damage ?

A : Bow - (ATK + HIT)/2
Gun - HIT
Fist - ATK
Sword - ATK
Axe - ATK
Spear - ATK
Spells - INT
Monster weapon - ATK

==========

Q: How many characters can I have at a given time?

A: Disgaea PS2 and PSP - 104 generics, plus 11 reserved slots for storyline/special chars.
Disgaea DS - 35 generics, plus 16 reserved slots for storyline/special chars.

==========

Q: How many characters can I use on the battlefield?

A: 10 at once. If one dies however, the amount of units you can have out for use at a time is reduced by 1, i.e.
9 units left for use and so on.

==========

Q: Capturing enemies? How?

A: To capture enemies, you have to chuck them to your base panel. A simulated one on one fight will occur.
If your unit wins, you capture the enemy. If you lose, your base panel gets destroyed.

==========

Q: Do you have a detailed explaination on how does the monster capturing mechanics goes?

A: 101 of monster capturing. When a monster is thrown into your base panel, it first starts of by discharging
all the remaining SP it has. This SP will randomly hit all units in the base panel, an event of what we call
the SP Burst. If your unit is weak, it can be killed during the SP Burst.

If you still have any remaining units that survived the SP Burst, a one on one battle between the monster and
your unit(s) will be simulated. If you win, you'll obtain the monster. If you lose, you base panel gets
annihilated.

To make monster capturing easier/To increase success of capturing monster(s), it is in your favor to:
- Decrease its SP as much as possible
- Decrease its HP as much as possible
- Have as many units to take on the SP Burst in base panel as possible
- Increase your units stats in the base panel as much as possible

For long term monster capturing, it is best to increase your unit(s) stats as possible. Having to reduce
the enemy's HP and SP repetitively is a huge waste of time.

What you can capture - Monsters that you can make in the DA.
What you cannot capture - Monsters you cannot make in the DA, humanoid chars, sub-bosses and bosses.

Myth: You cannot capture a monster too high of your level, say a lvl 1 unit against a lvl 9999 enemy.
Truth: You CAN. My Divine Majin at lvl 1 captured a full HP, SP and SEB lvl 9999 Surt without effort.
Hell the SP Burst only killed 7 of my units, and most of them are well below lvl 100 without
any equips.

Myth: Units killed from monster capturing counts towards ally kill.
Truth: Not in Disgaea 1. It is only effective starting form Disgaea 2 onwards, and possibly retained in the
future as well.

==========

Q: What's aptitude, and how does it work?

A: Aptitude is like an affinity towards a specific stat in-built for all characters. Say your char has an aptitude
of 110% for his atk stats. When I equip a sword with a rating of 100 in atk, that char will obtain 110 boost in
atk stats instead of only 100. Likewise, an aptitude of 70% in atk will result in the sword only giving a 70
points boost in atk stat.

==========

Q: What's Weapon Rank, and how do they work?

A: Weapon rank is your proficiency in that specific wpn, and a higher wpn rank will result in a faster weapon
mastery (level) gain and vice versa (S is the best, to E being the worst).

==========

Q: What does increasing Weapon Mastery Level beget?

A: For every increase in WML, the boost from humanoid wpns will be increased by an extra 5%. Also, weapon based
skills are learnt from being at a specific WML. WML caps at level 255.

==========

Q: How do I increase my Weapon Mastery fast?

A: Find specialist named Armsmasters (They give extra 1% Weapon Mastery EXP boost per level, and caps at lvl 1900).
This means that you will be getting a 20x faster rate of gaining weapon mastery. Couple it with high counter
character(s) on maps with invincibility panels, and see your WML skyrocket.

==========

Q: Will using skills increase my WML too?

A: Yes.

==========

Q: Level multipliers? What in the world are they?

A: They multiply the stats gain from monster weapons and accessories based on the current level you character
is at. At level 9999, a char gains 13.99x boost from accessories and monster weapons.

==========

Q: What's the master-pupil relationship bonus others are talking about?

A: It can mean two things
- Master and pupil have highers chances of team attack (+15%).
- Master inherit approximately 10% of a pupil's raw stats, as long as the master doesn't trasmigrate, the stats
stays forever.

==========

Q: How does master-pupil relationship bonus stats stack up upon the master? If I have 10 pupil with 10,000 raw ATK
each, does the master gain 10,000 raw ATK as a bonus too?

A: Nope, only the highest raw stat(s) from a said student will be inherited by the master. For example, pupil A has
the greatest ATK amongst the pupils. Pupil B on the other hand, has the greastest INT amongst the pupils. Hence,
the master will inherit 10% of the base ATK if pupil A and 10% of the base INT of pupil B.

==========

Q: I transed my master and he lost all his pupil stats bonuses. What now?

A: The pupil just have to increase a minimum level of 1, and the master will regain back his stats bonuses.

==========

Q: Is there any sort of cap towards master-pupil relationship bonus in respect to stats bonuses?

A: Yes, the master can only inherit at most 65,000 points for any given stats from the pupils.

==========

Q: Are storyline-based chars/special chars worth using?

A: Definitely. Unless you can withstand a party of all DMs, which will be pretty boring anyway. Not all storyline
chars are as good though.

==========

Q: What are all the status effect in this game, and what do they do?

A: Poison - Depletes a unit's HP by 15% per turn. (Purple bubbles above head)
