I definitely think that this is the best Disgaea yet. At first I was not sure how to react to some of the changes, like not getting new abilities through skill use but rather buying them with Mana. But then I started liking them because they not only created support for it through things like +50% and groups that allow people to absorb the mana gained by other peope. Then there is the ultimate reason I just love this system and that is there is a reason for other people to actually get mana. For once mana actually feels a part of the game and not just some chore that you have to accumulate to reincarnate.
