Disgaea or La Pucelle? Which one reigns supreme?

Disgaea is a more evolved form of La Puc so liking La Puc would probably be more of a taste issue.

La Pucelle = Stacked nun-like chicks.
Disgaea = Stacked demon chicks.

Disgaea
La Pucelle feels like a step backwards after playing Disgaea. La Pucelle just lacks the production value that made Disgaea so charming. Not that La Pucelle is a bad game, I got a copy for $20, but a $5 copy of Disgaea makes it unnecessary. Think I am going to trade my LP in tomorrow for WotS2.

wait, where is LP $20 at?? ive only seen it for $50...
Both rock. Both are worth owning. Disgaea is fundamentally better, but that doesn't fault La Pucelle since it came before.
The only real problem I have with both games is story pacing. There's a lot of random stuff in the beginning and then right when you think the story is starting to get really interesting, the game's almost over. Hopefully Phantom Brave is a little better in that regard.

I liked Disgaea better. As said before, it felt like a more evolved form of LPT. Disgaea felt like it was a parody of all the cliche story elements in RPGs before it, where LPT was the cliche RPG. Both were very fun, humorous, and had some charming elements to them, but Disgaea's gameplay moved much faster and the game felt a lot more unique overall.
I've logged about 8 hours into Phantom Brave, and I have to say I enjoyed Disgaea and La Pucelle more. I'm just not digging the confining system yet, and the story hasn't picked up at all (although I'm only 8 hours in). I like all three games however, so I think they're all worth it, especiall if they're below $50 now.

La Pucelle is nice but Disgaea owns.

Yea I put about 30 into it before finishing PB and I liked Disgaea better.
PB does have some awesome stuff to it. But the story is slow compared to Disgaea, the music is weaker, and as broken as the battle system for Disgaea was, PB is like 100x that amount of brokeness since you can just go into random dungeons 100 lvls. ahead of you, steal an item and escape.
Fun game though and I really dug the art style and the actual storyline despite it's slowness. Also seems like it had more possible depth and moves to find (like when you pick up a dead body of someone and do a double attack with them) than their previous games. It's really too bad with all the depth came extreme brokeness

Disgaea. La Pucelle came out back in 2002, the only reason it was released over here was because of the success of Disgaea. Phantom Brave is Nippon Ichi's latest and greatest game, buy it next month. Hopefully some punk won't mark it down to $10 four seconds after I buy it. Stupid worthless Circuit City.
Can't wait for Phantom Brave! Only played La Pucelle for a few hours thus far, but I'm enjoying it. I put in over 70 into Disgaea so I can't compare them directly yet; but I have a feeling when it's all said and done, I'll prefer Disgaea to it. I hope PB continues the trend of improvements from LP to Disgaea though.

All in my state? No. I checked every one in say, a 100 mile radius. Target was wiped out of La Pucelle by the time the deal was posted on here. Pretty obvious why, they had a big sign stating the game was $19.99. Circuit City? I got lots of good games, but never saw a copy of Disgaea.
