People here probably won't like me for this... but I don't really like Fairy Fencer F's premises (male protagonist)... and thus am unlikely to spend any money on this game.

As for Neptunia I'm skipping the Idol game... and possibly getting the Noire and Re Birth one. smile

That's you're prerogative. But in my honest opinion, you really shouldn't turn away from a game just because it has a male protagonist. What games have you been playing if a male protagonist is a no go for you, if you don't mind me asking?

[up]I'm wondering the same thing. Saying no for no reason other than "male protagonist" closes a good 90% of doors, I'm sure.

You must not play many games if a male protagonist is a dealbreaker.

I think he may be afraid FFF with it's male lead may turn into something akin to haremshit.

...In that case, I'll say this: I have yet to play a game from Compile Heart that devolved into that, except Mugen Souls' reverse harem, except that was the joke.

It might be Agarest War that's turned them off. While the lines between Idea Factory and Compile Heart are kind of blurry, they have very different approaches to plot, so there aren't really any Compile Heart games that are that much like Agarest War.

Agarest War does not have a harem option though.

Yeah, Agarest's just a straight-up dating sim where you can only choose one.

*shrug* Blame Aksys for completely ruining the game's image for no reason.

Compile has released a Fairy Fencer f trailer.

I have to ask, unless Fairy Fencer F is related to Neptunia in some way beside being developed by the same team, shouldn't we give it its own thread?

It shares the vast majority of the mechanics to the point where it's basically a reskin.

And? It's still not a Neptunia game. Way I see it, the options that make the most sense are A) giving Fairy Fencer F its own thread, or B) making this thread a general Compile Heart thread.

I would like to go with option B.

I've been suggesting B for ages now, actually...

You know, looking at the Fairy Fencer stuff, it's actually really weird to see a Compile Heart game with a male protagonist.

burnpsy Since: Sep, 2010
#370: Aug 2nd 2013 at 6:20:58 PM

...We just brought up Agarest in this thread, right? Doesn't that have male protagonists?

Zendervai Since: Oct, 2009
#371: Aug 2nd 2013 at 6:24:45 PM

Idea Factory. I think they're the ones who did the characters and story for the Agarest Games. No, I meant the ones Compile Heart themselves make.

You forgot about Trinty Universe and Cross Edge, both made by Compile, and both have male protagonist.

[up] Oh yeah, forgot about those. Those were a waste of time. Cross Edge more than Trinity Universe.

[down] EDIT: Okay, I'll add an IMO. And yeah, Trinity Universe was a stepping stone for Hyperdimension Neptunia, and I guess Cross Edge might be a stepping stone for Record of Agarest War 2 (simplified the battle system), but the games themselves were kind of boring and repetitive. The characters were fun though.

Objection! (I didn't make that image but I soo wanted to use it). I enjoyed those games and besides, Trinity Universe, if memory serves me right, was Compile's first all 3D game. And without Trinity Universe as a stepping stone I don't think they would of made Neptunia.
