I just got started on La Pucelle, haven't played Disgaea or Phantom Brave yet, but La Pucelle is really quite awesome. The way people talk about it relative to Disgaea makes it sound poor, but honestly, I don't know if I've been this captivated by a strategy RPG since Final Fantasy Tactics. Awesome characters, artwork, story, voiceovers--it's the full package. Definitely worth the money.
