If it's not broken don't fix it. Don't fix it, but maybe build upon it. That seems to be the mindset that NIS developers adhere to in regards to the ongoing Disgaea saga. As a returning reviewer, and a longtime series fan I find the continued usage of features that carry over into "Disgaea 7", and the former releases to be a welcome sight that is not disappointing in the slightest. It allows veteran players like myself to jump right in, learn the new tricks, and enjoy the new story content as well as the infamous grind. Even with new twists on older mechanics involved it's familiarity makes the series player feel welcome.
The added fact that we get a new game with a new story and new characters made for modern consoles is a huge bonus. Needless to say, if you are a fan or a returning player you'll feel right at home once again. If you are a newcomer to the series you are in for a treat as well. The latest game is equally as inviting for those new to the series as it is to seasoned veterans due to it's standalone story, and everything being explained along the way via the usual tutorials.
