| I just recently picked up disgaea and chrono trigger and was wondering which I should play through first? Like what are some key differences and how do they play and length time? |

| Disgaea is a tile-based JRPG (like Final Fantasy Tactics or Tactics Ogre), except it's set in a Demon/Anime setting. It progresses in a pretty standard cutscene > go to stage and battle pattern. All Disgaea games are very similar, but it's a unique experience if you haven't played any. Chrono Trigger is a classic turn-based JRPG (with a few unique elements such as the lack of random battles, enemy movement in battle, and duo/trio combination moves) with incredible music and an epic story that spans different time periods and worlds. It's a game that shouldn't be missed if you plan on playing any JRPGs. According to howlongtobeat.com, Chrono Trigger will take 23 hours and Disgaea will take 45 hours, although I remember Chrono Trigger taking much longer than that for me. I can't say which to play first. If you're in the mood for something lightweight, play Disgaea. If you're in the mood for something with more depth, play Chrono Trigger. |
| Chrono Trigger if you want a fulfilling experience from beginning to end. Disgaea if you want a srpg grindfest. |

Wasabi said: +1, the Disgaea series and related games (ZHP, Phantom Brave, etc.) require you to grind over and over again in order to get everything in them. That doesn't mean they aren't good, but you'll spend most of your playtime grinding than doing anything else.Chrono Trigger if you want a fulfilling experience from beginning to end. Disgaea if you want a srpg grindfest. |

| only really disgaea 1 was grindy, Disgaea 2 and up you could go through the whole game from new mission to new mission, that said the first game is super grindy but very satisfying when beating levels Chrono trigger is a pretty fantastic game and is much more of a traditional rpg while disgaea 1 is a parody of traditional rpgs with only scattered serious bits surrounded by absurdity and purposely cheesy dialogue(disgaea 2 and 4 are way more toned down in the parody aspect) |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Disgaea 1 story ain't too bad. I mean it is mostly comedy, but it does deal with themes such as redemption, suicide and forgiviness and also has a lot of different endings to go for (some for comedy, others not). |
| Can't really compare the two. Chrono Trigger is by far the superior title and considered by many to be one of the best RPGs and even one of the best games ever made. Disgaea on the other hand is quite a niche title in the SRPG genre and even then there are many titles people would consider superior. |
| Everyone here nailed it, I think. Chrono Trigger is art. Disgaea, just a game. |
| Wow. Okay, what is true is that Disgaea is grindy and repetitive. But it is very humorous and barring its setting, feels more real, with the real word in mind when it was designed. Chrono Trigger is a classic, and for a good reason. It has a serious plot, and takes you on a grand adventure. The probability is that you will enjoy Chrono Trigger more, but I don't feel like Disgaea should be discounted like that. |
