"D2 has always been considered a rather strange stand-out game when it comes to story. The first Disgaea was extremely episodic, revolving around a lot of sporadic, random humor with random story bits thrown in. Ultimately, it wrapped up with a larger over-arching plot in the game's final chapters. D2's plot, however, was more of a typical RPG. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a tad bit generic, with some stale, clichéd characters. It did have some interesting elements that were worth playing through the game. Whereas D1 and (from what I understand) D3, revolved around a lot of humorous bits throughout the story, D2's story revolved around a hero's quest to protect the daughter of a Demon King, and in the process lift a curse that has been placed upon his friends, family, and the inhabitants of his home village."
