You know, reading this really makes me think I need to try Disgaea again for a few reasons.

1. Starting to feel the itch for a SRPG.

2. I played through part of it a long time ago and liked it, but got too OCD and this is a game where you can't do that. Yeah, great idea to try to unlock AND USE characters of every class, meaning that I'd spend days just doing item world stuff to bulk up the 15 or so I had that weren't necessarily getting into story fights. Playing it like a sane person might probably would ward off the getting all burnt-out and hating myself phase I found myself in.

3. With PS Plus, they do have D2, 3, 4, and 5, so in conjunction with the original, which I own, I'd have access to every one except this one, which probably could be taken care of fairly easily if I wanted to and, if not, I'd still have five games in the series, which would only take an eternity or two to get through.

They really, really need to make "Complete" versions of 2 and 3, so it's common to have all six on a single platform like the Switch or PS4. I hate how common it is for ALMOST every entry in a series to hit one platform, with a seemingly random couple just not available. Like with Star Ocean 2. Or the third Etrian Odyssey. And so on. And so forth.

What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2

Rob:
The first Disgaea game really broke me of my "game OCD." I realized that I would never in my lifetime 100% it or probably any other NIS title. I think that's one thing I like about them so much; you don't have to worry about even coming close to doing everything, so just do what you want and feel good about what you accomplished.

Jason:
I was thinking this same thing with not only Disgaea, but Shining Force. Like, I was looking back on all the Shining games I've missed, and I'm overwhelmed. I don't think I'll ever be able to get them all, and it's kind of depressing... I really wish Sega would re-release them in some capacity.
