It is tradition for NIS to refrence their other games. Maybe not THIS directly, but...

 Yeah, dood! I did it!  I finally did it!

[Hero is sitting in the common quarters of the IND-1, holding a small black device in his fins, anyone knowledgable about video games will recognise it as a Sony PSP. What's really odd is that the characters on the screen seem oddly familiar to those from a certain Netherworld...]

I finally beat the item god

*Hero has somebody looking over his prinny body.*

...Is that one of your species?

*Points at a Prinny when Hero is browsing through the unit status menu.*

[gattai_dood]

The prinny in question's level 236, and is equipped with what looks like a really weak weapon. On closer inspection, said weapon's stats are incredible, and there's apparently a level 255 Gladiator, level 255 Manager, level 255 Coach, and a level 50 Broker living in it.

Yep! This game's an adaptation that humans made of the daily struggle that goes on in the netherworld. It follows all the same rules that demons do, dood!

...makes me wonder why it's got that big 2 at the end of the title, what happened to the first game, dood?

*Ray walks up behind Hero and looks at what he is doing.*

This looks intriguing, boss. What are you playing?

[gattai_dood]

It's Nippon Ichi Software's latest masterpiece, dood! Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days.

My name was in the title, so I had to get it, dood!

Scrolling through the units, you might notice a few familiar names...Most of the generic units and monsters in Hero's team are named after GDF members.

Fascinating.... I heard you mention Geo Panels. Does this game depict what your world is like then?.... I see the characters have familiar names. Am I on the roster at all?

[gattai_dood]

The basic mechanics are similar to our world, dood, but the game world's completely different. Apparently it's some place called "Veldime", dood!

...geo panels still act the same though, dood. And I'm terrible at dealing with them.

Hero pulls a Wood Golem out of the base, named "Goblin", and has it walk over to a blue geo panel, destroying it with an impressive visual special attack. The panels explode, catching a red geo symbol, causing a fresh series of explosions that catches a green geo symbol, which in turn catches a purple, then aqua, then yellow.

When it's all over, the entire field is yellow, and the bonus gauge hits max level 9. Hero grimaces.

...how am I supposed to complete this map now, dood? Everything's invincible, dood!
