I'm just doing a quick post tonight since I -was- going to do Dragon Fantasy impressions tonight, but the store isn't going to update and, to pass the time, I've been playing Disgaea 3. Again. Even though it is bad for my free time, productivity and sanity.
After an inhumanly terrible slog through Hall of Ordeals 3 (seriously, the map took me 76 turns of absolute fucking tedium involving throwing blocks up a tower and then throwing people so that I could, in turn, have them throw more blocks. It was immeasurably stupid.), I unlocked Hall of Ordeals 4. Now, the Hall of Ordeals levels have, at least for Disgaea 2 and, apparently 3, been prime grinding spots and Disgaea 3 puts a damn exclamation point on that shit. You probably have no idea so allow me to elucidate the facts here as only someone who is obsessed with numbers can.
So, as you can sort of tell from the above screenshot, the map has nine enemies arranged in a 3x3 grid. This grid just so happens to be on a 3x3 grid of Geotiles that just so happen to give +100% EXP. And you'll notice that Dinah just so happens to be badass enough to clear that shit in a single attack. (Specifically a Level 4 Big Bang attack) The Base level of the enemies here is 400, so this is definitely advanced training grounds but once you get to the stage where you can make use of it....oh man. It is the best spot you could ask for.
Dinah is currently Level 2400 and she was assuredly around 200 and change levels lower than that when I took the above screenshot. Because not only does this map give fantastic XP, but it gives it fast. As I am wont to do, I had it timed from the time I start the map to the time I start it again and, because I have animations turned off, it took ~20 seconds. Given that I have about 4 or 5 Stronger Enemy Bills passed to raise the level from 400 to 810 currently (and I have 20 ranks of enemy levels to work with), this is something that you can grow -with- your character and it's just....it's amazing. Three entire clears in a single minute. I'm averaging around 20 levels a go (which means I need to up the enemy ranks), but even if that were -all- you could hope for, that's 60 levels a minute which means 3600 levels an hour. Obviously the numbers dip the higher your character gets which means you have to compensate by making them stronger which causes a peak and then another slow descent, but I'm sure you see what this is like.
It's like I'm experiencing another of the true insanities of Disgaea as a series for the first time.
I love it.
seriously this is amazing, she is level 2500 already from the few breaks that I took while writing this
