Hyperdimension Neptunia - Game consoles personified

Omega Quintet also looks like a PS 3 game, but hey, won't complain about faster loading and a better framerate, which is what we'll get if it does end up looking like a PS 3 game unless the coders of Compile Heart are just terrible.

I went and checked Blanc's moveset for you. In Victory, she has mostly physical skills, and the only ones that aren't neutral-element are ice-based. Her only attack classed as a magic attack (aside from the generic moves) is some move whose description claims to involve a lot of bullets and no actual magic. So yes, Blanc using ice attacks fits, but she's pretty much a completely physical character.

Ah yeah, there needs to be a physical element to them, right? It's for my fic. I had her making icicle waves, ice spikes and even Ice Armour in her current fight. All of them involves her slamming her hammer down in some way, but I was wondering if they fit. (I'd honestly like writing advice in general as well)

Sorry for the double post but ReBirth 1 announced for a August 26/27th release date.

Forgot to post that here due to various distractions (Ar nosurge announcement, anime sales records being broken, the release of Atelier Rorona Plus, etc.), but yeah. That's a week before Danganronpa 2. Ugh, my wallet was already crying before...

Is the Steam Summer Sale 'helping', or do you not do Steam Games?

On a related note, after seeing something somewhere else, Neptunia should totally do a Gabe Newell spoof, as the leader of the PC Master Race. His true form is so powerful he can drain the shares out of Goddesses simply by being near them. His intro would be just like Gill's Third Strike into.

I already have most things I want off Steam that will be discounted enough to convince me during this sale.

In any case, I kinda disagree. If Gabe gets in at all, it should be via the same parody ways that other influential people were adapted. Put an altered version of their face on an enemy and be done with it.

I can't wait for the climactic battle against Super Otaku.

x3 What's Ar nosurge? Is it related to the Ar Tonelico series?

Ar nosurge is part of Gust's Surge Concerto, which is kind of a prequel series to Ar tonelico, seeing as it takes place in the distant past of that series. (Shurelia's actually in Ar nosurge)

EDIT: English trailer for Re;Birth.

Dem Victory environments.

Looks like they really did change the localization up.

Info regarding Victory II.

The scans about said info. Purple Heart is bringing sexy back. An Black Heart was upgraded to Strike Freedom.

I like how Neptune and Noire came out, but I'm a bit lost on Blanc.

Purple Heart looks rad. Well, not so much the pose (boobs and butt pose strikes again) but the design looks rad.

From the sketches of the others, they look rad too.

Oh, I forgot this (I was distracted by the sexy), some of our new bad guys.

Giant robots!

One of those silhouettes might be a dude!

Our new main character◊ and Purple Hearts ultimate form◊?

More giant robots!

The impression I'm getting is that the CPU's are now Digimon. Admittedly, I don't know about the general vibe i'm getting from all this. Just the darker mood, I don't really think it suits the series for an overall tone. There are serious elements i've liked from the series, but overall, Neptunia felt like it was at it's best when it was this fun, colourful and goofy adventure.

I'm expecting Neptune to make a joke about going ONE STEP BEYOND!!!!

Also, hi guise.

Another cryptic trailer for VII.

I spotted the usual Neptune (as opposed to the older one) and Pirachu in there.

I'm not so well versed on the gaming side of the universe, but from that vague trailer...

Did I see...Mechas?

Victory had quite a few mechas, and I think we have some confirmed for VII before this trailer, actually.

Of course, Lily ranks and alternate costumes will be available in U. Those are series mainstay features at this point, but it's nice to have confirmation.

While I like the silliness and the concept, why does this franchise have so many titles?

$$$
