There's probably a bunch for Disgaea/Disgaea 2 over at GameFAQs (shameless self-plug). I honestly spent way too much time there on those two games :/
That's why you don't. You're better off doing exactly what you say: Just buy better stuff as they unlock. This changes when you can't unlock better equipment as then the Item World becomes your source of finding (i.e., stealing) better stuff. Additionally, some Specialists/Innocents are super helpful to have early on (i.e., Statisticians for the bonus EXP) but that's a bit beyond "basic gameplay" stuff.
If you never use the Item World, barring the Story requirement, you're not really missing out of anything as far as the main game is concerned.
Generally, the only purpose for them was to split EXP. They really had no real other purpose (i.e., damage) barring _maybe_ really early on in some weird circumstances but, generally speaking, you're always better served splitting up the attacks and just comboing it to get the damage bonus.
Honestly, I can't really think of a situation where a Tower Attack is the best use of all your characters.
Also worth noting is the use of making a Tower in order to lift someone who hasn't moved from the Base Panel and throwing them clear across the map. A pretty useful thing to get used to doing to make Item World runs painless. Item Worlding is basically how much can you throw (or how much +Movement can you stack).
The system is mostly for post-game stuff. Reincarnating, in short, adjusts your base stats which are used to determine how much you gain per level. Gaining +10 to your base stat doesn't seem like a big deal but 100 levels of it is approximately ~460-ish extra in that stat. Still, this is mainly a post-game related thing and it's more the finishing touches to finalizing a character. The stat gain from a fully reincarnated character is pretty minimal, honestly (something around ~1.2 million, which is a lot lower than the multipliers given for being Level 9999).
This is a bigger deal in D3 since you needed to Reincarnate (or create a new character, I suppose) to go up class tiers to get better Weapon Masteries so you have access to better skills. D1/D2, you can get by not caring as it's just some aptitudes being raised.
Magichange wasn't that useful in D3 barring some unique situations to maximize damage output in a single attack ... which isn't that useful for actually playing the game. D4 changes it up a bit with how the system works but I've kept myself in the dark on D4 mechanics so I can't tell you too much on the exacts of it.

If you just got that tracking number, it may not show up for a day or two. I've had tracking numbers not show information for me until the package is nearly there.Negator said:

OP fixed, apologies.
Negator said:It's here. I'm ecstatic!
NO! Work in two hours! I don't want to go
Aww man, I hope mine is waiting for me when I get home. Did your status on NIS or USPS ever update before you got it? Mine's still showing Pending Fulfillment/can't locate tracking #.
edit: lol, I JUST got an email from NIS saying it's been fulfilled, new USPS # is out for dellivery!
Starting from any would be fine, seeing as how they're all stand-alone titles; but yeah, you should probably go ahead and play one, if just for the story. The amazing story, and great cast.InsertNameHere said:
Then I'd say go ahead with the others after you're done with 1; I wouldn't bother on post game content really, since it's so easy to break it early in that game. I'd say just go on to 2, or bypass 2 and go to 4.

My order is still saying pending fufilment. How disapointing.
Wow people already have theirs?
I placed my pre-order for the premium edition the first day it was available on the NISA store. They billed my paypal on the 23rd and said it would ship by the 29th at the latest but I still haven't received an email or anything saying it shipped out.

Is anyone getting copies of the regular edition from NISA yet? If they're shipping this week, I'd jump over and "pre-order" from them tonight to get my copy by week's end.

Cool. Is the PSP version noticeably better than the PS2 version or is it a direct port? I figure I'd get more play time if I had it on a PSP because for some reason I can pick up a portable system and play it longer without feeling like I've been wasting as much time, haha. Also I just got a PSP and want to go through the backlog anyway.

What's really strange is that I hated all those voices at the beginning of the youtube video, but I was ok and used to them by the end of it. I'm just glad not to hear the a voice from an anime. If they are known actors I don't hear it and that's great for once.

I hate you all right now. I just had to order from Amazon and not NISA.

yeah, not sure what I was thinking. I think I was wondering if I would have the money ready before the weekend was over. I pre-ordered some time ago.Penguin nerd said:I hate you all right now. I just had to order from Amazon and not NISA.

Wow that was fast, I think I get mine today. Im shocked it only took one day via ground...to get from Anaheim, CA, to Roanoke, VA. I hope competent guides are on gamefaqs for it, Im ready to get my game on.
:/
50 hidden trophies NIS, are you kidding me? I'm sure not a one is story related either.
I didni't get too far last night (just finished ch 1), but I kinda like the new Cam-pain mechanic that replaced the homeroom from D3. Excited to see what that winds up looking like later in the game.

Wow, thanks man. I appreciate the answers. It's so easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff you can do in this game. Although, it's sad to see that most of the things I had questions about are useless if you just want to beat the game.
Probably still going to buy the game. I'm such a sucker for turn based & grid based strategy games.

think i'm biting on this with us version....
my only question is....
will magichange be actually useful in this game, or it will be a giggle-giggle-see-once-and-forget thing like in disgaea 3?
and another question..
will disgaea 4 europe get any limited edition at all? else i can as well go and buy the us edition straight away :L

I believe only premium are going out early, but someone noted earlier that they are sending them out to people that ordered before the 27th. Any orders that go in now will not be fulfilled till next week.
Wish I had ordered from NISA
But after, I can't remember which game it was, Neptunia maybe? NISA was slow at getting the game out and it was coming in after the release date. I didn't want to risk it. How sad I am now. Dedication Through Light

I thought that was because the shipping was affected by that massive snowstorm.

Well my order finaly shipped. So I am lucky I'll get in about two or two and half weeks. So I guess there is almost no chance that I am going to get White Knight Chronicles 2 any time soon.

I didn't know what caused it, I was just saddened by it. So I apparently made a huge mistake and now I am sad because I do not have D4 yet. This will be a long three day weekend. It is just not right. I am going to have a 3 day weekend and all I will be doing is saying... I wish it were Tuesday!
