Hyperdimension Neptunia - Game consoles personified

After seeing that NISA is localizing the frickin' idol game, I don't think you'll have anything to worry about.

VII might just be the roman numeral for 7, as it's the seventh non-remake game announced for the series.

Wait, really? We're already up to 7?

Yup. Take a glance at the series page.

Wow I've been so sucked into Dark Souls 2 that I missed this news. Well glad someone was looking out. Thank you Burn.

Watch as they introduce a FROM Software Maker in Neptunia VII.

Also, apparently the title doesn't mean Seven. It means Victory II.

Source on it being Victory II? I've only seen Crunchyroll claim that, and they aren't exactly known for their news accuracy.

EDIT: Found a source with furigana after some digging. Correcting the page.

The question will be will she be a mech junkie or a Undead Zombie.

Knight in shining armor. Best of both worlds.

A Knight wearing a futuristic yet old and rusted suit of armour who lives in the hollowed out shell of a mecha, and uses the energy core as a makeshift bonfire.

A football-playing king in space.

Fromsoft would probably be a super serious cosplayer with an unhealthy obsession with knights, armor, and weapons. It goes without saying that she would be a teenage girl. That, or the same, but with an obsession with mecha.

And Nepgear'll complain about how her only unique trait is share with someone else now.

11 minutes of gameplay of Neptunia Rebirth 2.

...Eh, I don't see anything worth noting (aside from them keeping Solid Park as the battle theme, and changing the overworld theme, which I appreciate). Which is probably why it wasn't advertised as heavily as Re;Birth1. Unlike Re;Brith1, this is far closer to being the same game as its PS 3 incarnation.

@A Stray Bard

I also imagine her wearing a Helmet that covers everything but her eyes and talking with a British Accent. I also see her more focused on JOLLY CO-OPERATION!

Idea Factory International is localizing Re;Birth1 for this summer. If they're taking the series away from NISA, they'd better treat it with more respect than Tecmo-Koei gave Atelier when they took that.

What did Koei do to Atelier again?

Totori Plus came out with literally no warning whatsoever (it was simply discovered on the PSN store one day).

Ayesha removed the Japanese voice track and, in terms of marketing, got one trailer from Tecmo-Koei Europe, and nothing from the US side of things.

Meruru Plus was fine.

Escha & Logy was fine in terms of marketing and voice tracks, but they didn't properly QA the text, so you have items referred to under 2-3 different names all over the place (making a smartphone to Google with a required accessory to do half the game's optional missions), text that goes off the edge of the screen, etc.

From what I recall, they released it dub-only and dubbed about 75% of the game. Or less. I dunno. Atelier Ayesha at least has more dubbing than Victory.

It seems IFi has confirmed that Re;Birth1 will be dubbed, at least.

I'm feeling mixed on the new logo.

OK yeah, Atelier seems to be in pretty bad hands as of now. Ouch.

On happy news, huzzah! We get the actually good remake of the first Neptunia game!

I kinda like the new logo. Looks snazzy.

Idol game's up for pre-order.

...Using the old logo. Okay, I'm confused. X_X

Neptunia U is apparently yet another Vita title. There are now more Vita titles in the series than any other platform.
