Prinny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSz1zxA6d5Q
The Disgaea games are like Final Fantasy Tactics/Fire Emblem, but there are plenty of differences. The level cap is 9999 (not a typo), stats can reach into the billions, you can level up items, add special effects to your weapons and armor, make any character can learn ALMOST everything (monsters can't use weapon skills, and humanoids can't use monster skills), multiple endings, and New Game+.
But don't worry, getting a character to LV9999 takes less time than leveling up to LV99 in say, Final Fantasy, or making the perfect team in Pokemon. This is because there are tons of tricks to make leveling really easy and quicker. Second, hardly any grinding is needed for the main game, however, the post-game dungeons will require your level and stats to be stupidly high. However, leveling is actually fun, compared to Final Fantasy or Pokemon where it's just tedious.
As for the Prinny game, it's a platformer, but it's like the old-school platformers in the fact that it's really really crazy hard.
The games do not take themselves seriously. There are some dramatic moments, but there's hardly a time where something goofy isn't going on. Also, there's some fanservice, but considering that you guys play Final Fantasy games/watch Gurren Lagann I doubt you guys consider that to be a bad thing.
Worthy of a play.
