That's a discussion for another time, but the fact remains that Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness is a faithful port of the original Disgaea: Hour of Darkness from the PS2. After the original game spawned a sequel and an anime series (as well as a promised third entry on the PS3), it was not surprising that that it was added to the PSP's impressive collection of PS2 ports.
The game involves playing as Laharl, Prince of the Netherworld. His father has recently died (whether or not through natural causes) and Laharl has a fairly rough time of things for a while. The storyline treads that glorious Japanese RPG path of the slightly ridiculous mixed with the strangely banal.
Anyway, the gameplay is based around two core sections. Laharl and his little chums spend a lot of time in his castle, seemingly preparing for missions and having a good old chinwag. The story is really quite dialogue-heavy, and it all takes place in this castle section. The rest of this area is basically about finding merchants and buying stuff from them."
A Japanese PlayStation Store page for Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness, the PSP remake of the original Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, has appeared.
Were in the day and age where alot of titles are translated. I believe this should show up for other regions. Come on sony we like rpgs in the west to. Not everyone wants action action action all the time.

Since 2003, NIS has been giving people a way to help groups of antiheroes accomplish goals of varying degrees of morality. With new versions and iterations arriving every few years, someone might wonder how they could hop into these strategic scenarios. Well, if people check out this guide, they might find a way to make the Netherworld your new second home.
Michibiku's Jenni Lada writes, "Disgaea is an established and respected series. The JRPG has set trends with its story and mechanics. After all, it’s one of the many founders of the whole “overlord antihero” stereotype. Its insane level caps and encouraging of massive damage outputs have made it an icon. It’s no wonder that the original game, Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, is on its fourth port."
