Mini-review of Disgaea 4 Vita

Pros:
+ Portability! Who doesn't want to play this game in between classes, or in the bathroom?
+ Less tediousness. Several changes make grinding less tedious, such as the Cheat Shop, frequency of rare events, and new duping method.
+ Still the same awesome game that it was 3 years ago, and better!
+ All DLC from the PS3 version included. That's over $100 worth of DLC content in this $40 package.
+ New storyline exclusive to this version that ensures this isn't exactly the same game as the PS3 version.
+ Did I mention you can now play this in the bathroom? :O

Cons:
- Inconsistent English voice actors.
- Frame rate drops in certain areas
- New changes made the game a little TOO easy, if you ask me.

Overall: 9.5/10

If you loved the original game and didn't get to experience all the DLC content due to the hefty prices, this is definitely a must buy. If you haven't played the original game due to the large grind it has, and have a Vita, this one's a great addition to your Vita library. Despite all the new content, this version is a lot more user-friendly and thus, easier compared to its console counterpart. There's also a lot of online features that will keep veterans and casuals busy for a while, like map creator and pirate duels. Of course, the staple Item World is still here and can still eat up plenty of hours. The frame rate drops may be a bit off-putting to some, but I find that didn't deter from the overall experience.
