Strictly speaking, I donвЂ™t think itвЂ™s possible to have вЂњtoo many mechanicsвЂќ. To begin, itвЂ™s often joked amo ng Disgaea players that the number of mechanics has ballooned in successive games, with this entry D5 even including a board game (!) as a key mechanic. The eternal sand-glass of existence will ever be turned once more, and you with it, you speck of dust!вЂќ - Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth, and curse the demon that so spoke? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment in which you would answer him: вЂњYou are a God, and never did I hear anything so divine!вЂќ If that thought acquired power over you as you are, it would transform you, and perhaps crush you the question with regard to all and everything: вЂњDo you want this once more, and also for innumerable times?вЂќ would lie as the heaviest burden upon your activity! Or, how would you have to become favourably inclined to yourself and to life, so as to long for nothing more ardently than for this last eternal sanctioning and sealing?

IвЂ™m writing this in part to clarify to myself just how much of that I would repeat if given the chance, in line with NietzscheвЂ™s philosophy of eternal recurrence. IвЂ™m not sure, though, how much of this time was well-spent. I spent 100 hours on Disgaea 5 over the past two weeks.
