Disgaea 3
 

So I just got this and it looks hillarious. Never really been into strategy RPGs but decided to give this one a try. Still getting used to the battles, but damn the dialogue here is comic gold. In the first 10 minutes you are treated to satans son deciding to be a hero so he can whoop daddy, several penguins who constantly say dood, and a teacher who tells you class is cancelled due to adult situations. Also the first few battles are against 'Mexican' monsters who call you ese. Amazing stuff.

Is it better than Disgaea 2 so far?

I'd have to say yes to that.
