How was disgaea after the second one anyway? loved the first game, didn't care as much about the second one.

The later games add some pretty dramatic quality of life improvements such as being able to move a character again without having to undo their previous move. They also added a "cheat shop" for doing things like increasing enemy level so you don't have to constantly pass bills to level grind. I also like the ability to equip monsters as weapons for shared XP and bonus damage. From a gameplay perspective each game is generally an improvement on the prior and honestly the franchise as a whole makes it really hard for me to go back and play more traditional tactics games. It feels a little bit like going from final fantasy 7 to the NES version of final fantasy 1.

In terms of story, nothing ever quite hits the same highs as the first game. Three was pretty fun, I have yet to play 4 but I hear it's nice, and I found five pretty boring. Each new game does come with a cast of quirky and charming characters, though, so the spirit of Disgaea lives strong even if the writing isn't that great.
