Talk:Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories

The Walkthrough is Dead to Me
I believe I'm the only person who's added anything to the walkthroughs (though I haven't touched them for six months)... Just for anyone who might care, I don't plan to complete the Main Walkthrough or Dark World Walkthrough sections. A player can easily defeat anything and everything by leveling up a little. Disgaea's always placed more emphasis on level-stacking than actual strategy, so it's rather pointless to add strategies for the ridiculous amount of stages when there's no point in reading or making them. I'll still attempt to finish and improve the other sections, sooner or later... --DekuGuy 09:57, 16 July 2008 (CDT)
 * Someone will do it someday, but tips for leveling seems to be the best thing at the moment (also special enemies/boss strategies/info is important). Thanks for the help, -- 16:06, 17 July 2008 (CDT)


 * Just stumbled across this page (now I know how to find it. honestly I didn't even notice the Toolbox on the right side of the screen until just now.. -_-). Anyways, agreed with Deku, the walkthroughs for the stages is fairly pointless.  There are perhaps 3 or 4 stages in the game that have "secret" strategies or tips that aren't immediately obvious (one of which I did fill in).  The rest are just a matter of each player using their specific-tailored party to its best ability given terrain and opponents, etc.  So I won't be putting any energy into those either unless I get really bored. ;)  But there are still quite a few aspects of the game that aren't covered well by other online guides and faqs (either being partial, inaccurate, or formatted as a series of a difficult-to-read/search forum posts), and those are the gaps I've been focusing on for the most part. -- Air 14:54, 24 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for clarifying that Air. In this case what we do is remove all of the unnecessary links from the ToC and add info to the Walkthrough page. On the Walkthrough page (this page is a StrategyWiki standard and MUST exist on every guide), please explain how the guide is laid out. For example, what you just said should be noted (how each stage is practically the same, but it just comes down to strategy), and there should definitely be links to the pages that detail strategies. Also, explaining that some stages contain special strategies is important, and explaining which pages those are (at least, which ones they are in the ToC). It looks like the content of the ToC is pretty minimal, so I'm suggesting that we move the Darkworld Walkthrough page down to a subsection of Walkthrough. This will also help simplify the description on the Walkthrough page. Let me know if I missed anything or if you have any questions or whatever. If one of you can confirm that this is a good idea, I'll modify the ToC immediately (unless you wish to do it yourself). -- 23:36, 24 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't have any objections. I never completed many of the Dark World stages (just unlocked them, then went back to power-leveling), but if any stages in this game need guides, it would be those.  Some of the Dark Sun reports are just... ludicrous. --DekuGuy 01:22, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Alright so I have the new layout up. I wasn't sure if the Dark World levels should be numbered. Alternatively, if we have a walkthrough page for one stage, we could set up the ToC for that stage similar to Diablo II's where you can see an additional page right next to it in parenthesis. -- 05:34, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * If we were to do it the Diablo II way... Well, there are actually three versions of each story stage: normal, Dark World, and Land of Carnage. (From what I've seen of the Disgaea community, the latter two versions are usually referred to as Dark and Carnage, respectively: Carnage 13-1, Dark 4-2, etc.)  But I haven't gotten to the Land of Carnage yet. (Damn that Treasure Map. ]:<) --DekuGuy 22:05, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Alternatively, if a stage doesn't require much content, you could just put the related Dark World and Land of Carnage content on there too, under its own level 2 header. How many stages are in the game? I'm guessing hundreds? -- 00:18, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * There are around 65 story stages, then the Dark and Carnage versions of those. But technically, the last story stage doesn't have a Dark World version, just a normal and Carnage.  There's also 12 Extra stages, each of which (I believe) only have the standard version.  Finally there's the Item World, which is just an endless string of randomly-generated stages.


 * But the story stages are divided into 12 sections, which for the most part correspond to the chapters. As the ToC stands, the Walkthrough has the 13 episode numbers and names, and the Dark World Walkthrough has the 12 section names... --DekuGuy 00:35, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * So, technically we could have pages for each of the main sections (like we do now) that contain the content of all of their 12 sections/alternate versions? -- 02:03, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Double DoubleJump?
(Yay for bad puns~!) What's the difference between Category:DoubleJump and Category:DoubleJump Books, and why is this categorized into both? --DekuGuy 01:22, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
