[PSP] Disgaea

That command does indeed exist. You will notice that the default for the shoulder buttons is for them to perform the same functions as R1 and L1 originally did on the PS2 controller. If you hold the Square button, they will perform the same functions as the R2 and L2 buttons originally did on the PS2 controller.

Etna and the Prinnies have changed voices, and I really have no idea why. It doesn't bother me since I'm playing through with the Japanese VA (English VA on my PS2 game) this time. Etna mode is an unlockable which you don't get until after you've completed the main story.

Etna's American voice changed because Amanda Winn-Lee is retired from voice acting now, and can't provide additional lines of dialogue for Etna, as would be required by Etna Mode. I've heard that this new voice is by Michelle Ruff. The Prinnies are a different story though. I hear that they were originally done by Atlus staff members rather than professional voice actors. Naturally NIS America can't get the appropriate Atlus staff members to provide them additional Prinny lines for Etna mode, so they had to change too.

I wonder if Mid-Boss changed. He has additional lines in Etna Mode, so maybe... who knows?

I've played it myself, on the Japanese version of the game. It's not as long as the main game. I don't remember exactly how many chapters, but I'd guess that it might be five, because that would sort of fit in with what you've heard. I remember the last chapter is pretty long though. I also remember the difficulty level being somewhat higher than the main story. I used the code to unlock Etna Mode for my first playthrough, and it was quite hard.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's what I did. After reading the first chapter, I didn't read another one until the penultimate chapter. I got the prize just the same.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah. The first six times you clear that map, the layout changes completely. After that, it takes on the look of CoO3 on steroids, and remains that way. I thought the same as you when I first got there. I was confused why people were happy about this map. I eventually beat the six battles that awaited me there, and finally I found the best training spot in the game.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Spoiler:

There are two hidden switches in the Overlord's castle. One is hidden behind the throne, the other is disguised as an animal skull of some kind on the counter of the Rosen Queen store. Activate them both, then look for a Prinny who is complaining of a draft. Behind him is Etna's secret chamber.

In Etna's secret chamber, you will find her diary. There will be one entry per chapter. If you read them all before the final chapter starts, you will be rewarded with two things. The first is a Testament of random rarity, and the second is Etna Mode.

There is also a cheat code to enable Etna Mode from the start of a new game... but if you do it that way, there's a slight disadvantage. Normally if you go into Etna mode by starting a new cycle, the enemies are boosted in level by about 60 or so. That's not the case if you use the code.

Enjoy.

The last couple of battles are actually pretty hard. I'd say that you need to be able to take Priere and Marjoly out at a minimum before you can face the Demonhall Mirror. I'm not at that point in my American save at all.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Spoiler:

Ahhh, you overestimate this humble Soluzar! Unfortunately I have not managed to push my Collection Record beyond 63% as yet. The only thing I can tell you for sure is that the Record Keeper will give you a Dream Hand for passing certain milestones. It is not that big of a deal, to be honest.

In the Japanese version, there are three things I still haven't done. I haven't beat Uber Prinny Baal, I haven't beat Zetta, and I haven't completed the collection. Some items are just very hard to find in Legendary form. I already have every common item, and a good number of the rares. I've been hitting the item world pretty hard, with nothing but Bandit Hands in my inventory. It's only a matter of time before I manage to get every weapon in the game as a rare and a legendary, but rare and legendary consumable items will be somewhat more difficult to obtain.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I hope you still plan to complete the collection anyway. It's damn good fun, and it keeps me playing when I'm otherwise kinda bored of the game. I spend a fair amount of time on trains and such, so it's great for me to just trawl the item world for stuff in that time. Especially if I'm on one of those trains that has a power outlet by every seat.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Cool. Well if you find any reliable ways of pursuing rare and legendary versions of consumable items or Demon Emblems, I'd really (really, really) appreciate hearing from you, because that's pretty much where I get stuck. Well, that and rare/legendary stealing hands. Pretty much anything else is easy to find.

Weapons and armor appear equipped on enemies in the Item World. So do orbs, belts, shoes and muscles. If you keep hunting for long enough you'll find rare and a legendary Gency. It's not going to be easy to do this 100%. We insane gamers need to share tips and stick together.

I've already done 63% but it would appear that was the easy 63% unfortunately.

FELIPE NO

Nope. There's no official way to transfer any kind of save. Even if there was, this game has significant differences from the PS2 version. I dare say that with the expertise you've gained you would be able to recreate your progress in a much smaller amount of time though. That has certainly been true for me.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
