Progress update time! =D
I'm in that horrible period in Disgaea 4 between being godly and being miserably weak...I just started the postgame, in other words. I should probably recruit all the additional characters and stuff first, but I feel the need to make some headway on the grinding before I do. Right now I'm faffing about in the Item World; getting a Legendary to Floor 96 for Innocent growth and the Meowkin Pirates for LoC will make my life easier in the long run. I've got a lot to do and no set order in which to do it, so I'm more or less free to do it however I feel like. Thankfully I have several 300% aptitude characters captured from friend pirates in the Item World, so all I need is one full set of maxxed out equipment. Once I get that set up I can go wild with PPS duping and then (hopefully) curbstomp LoC Baal. Then the rest is cleanup.
...lo and behold, I just condensed about 100 hours worth of gameplay - depending on luck - into a single paragraph. I'm going to read this and hate myself in the future for being so nonchalant about it. I'll never get it done in a week before D5, I know that much. But I WILL do it. Disgaea 4 is one of my favourite games and I want the plat.
EDIT: Found a Promotionhell Ticket seller, so that's half the Dim-X maps acquired! I'll only do one to start with to narrow down Pirate Ship part chest locations...probably 8-8 or something. Lovely. Still need to find the other one, but I'll be doing a lot of earlier IW floors in the future, so hopefully that'll crop up somewhen down the line. Got more friend pirates too, meaning more 300% aptitude characters <3
