Talk:Disgaea: Hour of Darkness

message: I'm going to make some changes to this article in response to the edits made by 24.119.167.106, and I feel that they should be justified here. I like some of the changes made, and think that having game features as a separate list is quite appropriate.
First of all, some of the text has been spun off into a seperate Laharl article. I do not think it is likely that someone would search for Laharl outside of the context of Disgaea to the extend that he requires a seperate article, so I'm going to merge this information back into Disgaea. As I'm currently trying to get nearly 50 character and item pages for a Zelda game either deleted or merged, I think it would hypocritical of me to ignore a similar spawn-off from this article.
The new Laharl article states that he was asleep for three years, but I'm fairly certain one of the vassels in Laharl's castle states that he was asleep for two at the beginning of the game.
Secondly, I'm moving the Prinnies and information on Hell (the currency), and putting it in a new humor section, and re-adding the information on the Next Episode shorts between the games.  I'm also re-adding the information on the Dark Senate, as it really is a unique part of the game which I have seen mentioned in reviews.

:Looking at the new Flonne and Laharl article, I have to agree that the time has probably come to spin the article off a bit; if every entry were that detailed, the page would probably would actually be very large. I'd like to keep things as concentrated as possible, so that people can compare stats and information without having to load up dozens of pages. Why don't we move Laharl to Disgaea characters, merge Flonne into that, create redirects for the other character names, and then we can put a summary in this article? - RedWordSmith 03:43, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)
Maybe. Though, a lot of people DO use tabs. I think it's convenient in different ways - your way would be convenient for the way you suggested, my way would be convenient if you're looking for information for just them. I also have a Secrets FAQ - Would something like that be applicable to Wiki? -- A Link to the Past 20:32, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)
:I don't think it'll be any less convenient if someone is looking for information on a specific character - they'll be able to go to the character page and click on the name of the character they want stats on right away. Using Mozilla myself, I'm not really sure a large number of tabs is all that much better than a large number of windows, although that could just be my opinion. It's also worth remembering that the Disgaea article is just one of many in Wikipedia, which isn't a gaming guide -- we should try to make things useful for people who may not be familar for the game at all by showing the relationships between characters and the different things they can do.
:I don't think a secrets FAQ would make a good stand-alone article. It'd probably be a bit much for a general encyclopedia, but I have thought that a section in this article on secrets would be a good thing to have. There might be someplace else for a full FAQ; let me dig around a bit. - RedWordSmith 05:34, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)
::I think strategy guides, et al (including the very statistic-specific character page or at least parts of it) should go to Wikibooks. Nifboy 22:58, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Big changes... 

message: The description for the Tsunami Bomb link says that they are the "Creators of 'The Invasion From Within', the featured song in English versions of Disgaea." Is this song actually in the Koei version? I was under the impression that the decision to add the song came from Atlus, and that it wasn't present in the European version at all. - RedWordSmith 19:43, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  'The Invasion From Within' in Koei version? 

message: A sequel and Anime of Disgaea has been confirmed (google for it, I can't be bothered to find the link- it's gone 1am here and I'm tired), the sequel set several years after the game with the main characters of Disgaea 1 only appearing as secondary characters. Could someone please write something about this in the article? --83.67.100.40 00:19, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: On a related note, can anyone make sense of ? I've been able to gather that it's a game for cell phones of some sort, but beyond the few words of english on NIS's site and what a machine translation gives me I can't figure out what this is called or what platforms it runs on. - RedWordSmith 00:49, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Found some basic info – according to GameSpy the title is Mugen Keitai Disgaea - RedWordSmith 02:15, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sequel and Anime 

message: Many casual readers probably do not know what exactly a Prinny or a vassal is, or maybe even that the gameplay looks like. Some screenshots and definitions might help. Abby724 03:21, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article needs lots of improvement... 

message: A small note - I happened to stumble across some copies of a Disgaea artbook that's been released here in the U.S. in a bookstore at the mall. I can't get a copy right now, but if anyone else wants to have a look, I think it's ,  based on a quick look at Amazon - RedWordSmith 04:58, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

text: The World of Disgaea (the artbook) is basically the translation of the Disgaea Character Collection. Basically, it contains official art, concept art, information on the characters and story as well as some ideas that were scrapped, and interviews with the cast. The World of Disgaea get quite in-depth with the properties of magic and the geo panels. It's definitely a valid source. 167.206.158.98 15:27, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible source 

message: It came straight from an N1 representative, so it should be valid. I don't know what exactly I would write in the article, so I'll leave it to someone else to do so.

thread_title:  Disgaea potentially going to DS. 

message: just about the sentence "probably due to the limited storage capacity of the DS game card"
the game is 64Mo, some games are 256Mo so they were far from the limit.
and about "Demon Gadgets", it's maybe worth to say it's only in multiplayer.
