Disgaea is rad. both for the combat and for the really funny story. people never bothered to tell me this, but you don't have to bother with any of the insane grindy power gaming stuff that the game lets you do in order to finish the main game. it's only if you want to get the postgame content (which admittedly there is a ton of, and it's very awesome) that you need to do any of that stuff. what I mean is, don't stress too much about powerlevelling characters and items yr first time through the game. just have fun.
