/nep/ - Hyperdimension Neptunia

I’ve always been heedful about ordering medication online, but after doing my exploration, I sure to give a licensed Canadian online druggist's a try. I reliably need I had done it sooner. 
https://www.aquaprocs.com/navigating-the-complexities-of-hormonal-balance-in 
The development was surprisingly straightforward. The website was peaceful to navigate, and uploading my drug took impartial a infrequent minutes. What unqualifiedly impressed me was how post-haste a natural apothecary reviewed the entirety and followed up with a confirmation tag to ensure my safety. That uniform of trouble oneself gave me unhesitating peace of mind.

The savings are worthwhile — I’m paying less than half of what my local pharmacy was charging as a service to the for all that brand-name medication. Uninterrupted with shipping costs included, it’s a fraction of the price. And no, there were no cryptic fees or bowl over charges at checkout.

Honestly I loved 4GO in all its glitchy glory. I never tried the Canuck RPG but I heard it wasn't bad.

>In other words, selling out.
Yes, and you can't see why such a thing deeply frustrates me?
>While this will ultimately result in the sloppiest DEI-slop RPG hitting the marked with their name on it, they have secured a financial footing for themselves
If they're willing to take ESG/DEI funny money by proxy, what makes you think they won't take it directly? Assuming they haven't been already.
>Replaying Action Unleashed made me remember that the gameplay in Neptunia games is secondary to the characters, their interactions and writing in general
So you wouldn't bat an eye if they turned Neptunia into something like a deck builder roguelite Slay the Spire clone, or God forbid, a g*cha?
Action Unleashed was novel back then because it was a way to see the goddesses in action outside the scripted turn-based sequences. But it loses its novelty when everything including the mainline is actionslop now. 
This move towards action-based reeks to me of yet another facet of Compa's desperate attempts to get the "wider/global/western audience". They've been told by some consultants or journalists that turn-based is outdated or something and they need to drop it to grow. Except Compile Heart are no where near the point where they can feasibly develop a sophisticated, flashy action system li

>Where have I heard this before?
Maybe you heard it from some overly insecure people with skin so thin they'd block you after a single insult. Yeah, I feel you and I wouldn't trust Compile to cover something remotely similar to CoD MW Leanbox lobbies or your average Team Fortress 2 Casual VC. What peaked my interest is that they might touch the theme of online game cheating if the next Nep game is primarilty about online games, something I'm kind of familiar with yet curious about.
>Come on man, how many times in the past decade have you heard the term "EOS" that HASN'T been in reference to a gacha, especially as it pertains to Japanese/Asian games?
Eos is just Western fan speculation. I don't know what connotation Japs have for the word Sashuu and if it's being used exclusively by gachafags... could be related to pretty much anything for all I know, so I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt here.
>SKG is entirely a western phenomenon that is not even on the Japanese radar. And given CH's track record and Japanese corporate culture, I expect they have nothing but contempt for the idea.
I don't think Compile Heart is your average embodient of Japanese corpo culture. At least it sure as hell wasn't when their CEO was lusting after a game character hard enough to mingle with the suggestion box pretending no one knows his handwriting.
>So you wouldn't bat an eye if they turned Neptunia into something like a deck builder roguelite Slay the Spire clone, or God forbid, a g*cha?
Drastic change to a genre from your average PC Gaming Show / Not E3 game? 
I lack the hindsight to answer if it was something that looks like slop at first. I'd try it and pass my judgement from there.
As for gachas, well, releasing one would just imply that Compa lacks foresight whatsover. They just wouldn't be able to support it and compete with chinkslop with overinflated budgets, which mean they'll eat shit and die for the third time, and I'd hate that outcome.
I haven't played a gacha game in my life, so I'm pretty impartial to it, even though I do realize it rampaged through the Japanese marked and indirectly causing CH's downfall. I'm sorry for the developers and I hate this happened but I rarely let my anger out. After all, I'm relatively new and I haven't experienced those games, wait times, hype and betrayal the way most of you guys did. Unlimited would be the first Nep release that I'm following.
>Turn-based was their forte and something they could reasonably build and expand on 
I wouldn't mind an action Neptunia game if it's made by Tamsoft. Those guys know how to make a dopamine-inducing action system you can infinitely min-max for some builds and combos that feel overpowered yet don't give you a feeling of being a wimp for using them, since, well, you discovered them and you're mostly just offsetting grind with them far enough for it to not be noticeable at all.
>If they're willing to take ESG/DEI funny money by proxy, what makes you think they won't take it directly?
Hell if I know. Maybe they wouldn't want to have any DEI/no-fanserivce-agreement strings attached to that money? Given that pantsu and candidates still exists in one way or another in Unlimited, I'll just assume that the censoring they're doing is not because of the origin of their funds but because of Sony and Nintendo, may they burn on all 8 circles of hell and freeze for eternity on the 9th.

There's an item which lets you raise your level limit from the base 99 (worth it as enemies in the final dungeons go well past 100), and I just found out that if you hit the current cap, any EXP you get is banked so that when you raise the cap, it all applies at once. A nice little bit of QOL there since I'm an autist who hates "wasted" EXP and I feel this isn't addressed often enough in JRPGs.

>>9924 (OP) 
So now that I'm finally done with Tokyo Clanpool here, where to begin? Between the large maps, movement app gimmicks, the pseudo-Persona system (Gadgettia) and class change system, I think this game tried to be a culmination of Compile Heart's DRPG efforts on the Vita, and while I still feel it did serviceably, I ultimately came away somewhat disappointed compared to my initial impressions.
Let's start with the gameplay itself. There are seven dungeons of about 6-10 floors each, plus a postgame dungeon with 10 floors. All in all, this totals up to about 66 floors worth of dungeon crawling. So the game is a bit on the short side. Encounter rates are on the high side throughout the dungeon, with your only respite being an app which lasts only 50 steps per use and costs a minimum of 6% battery power. Speaking of, part of the game is about managing your DigiApp battery power since all your apps including your movement options rely on it. There are designated points throughout the dungeons which recharge your battery power by 100%, and it can store up to 999%, but there are also consumable items which recharge it by 50 and 100%. All in all, I never at any point felt like I was in any danger of running out of battery power. The movement options themselves are tunneling through walls, floating in the air, and going underwater. The first is the best used as you need it to advance and create sho

Moving to the non-gameplay elements, I think probably the biggest disappointment from this game for me was the lack of characterization for ANYONE. Despite the smaller cast, barely anyone is given any time to be fleshed out. There is only one side event per character and two fanservice events which give you the idol and bath CGs and that's it. As a result, the characters never really get the opportunity to feel like more than mere set pieces. For example, Natsume's profile lists her as being a giant fangirl for Chim the Garden Eel and her character event is about hugging a body pillow of him and then dreaming him, but then that's it. Chim is LITERALLY NEVER brought up again. Who even is he and why is he so popular? Why is Natsume such a fangirl for him? Questions that go completely unanswered. Another example; Hotaru's side event reveals that her parents are famous wrestlers and part of her reasons for being so withdrawn, insecure and lacking in confidence is that she's a pipsqueak who can't live up to her family's legacy despite really wanting to. And that's the entire extent to which this part of her is explored. Fuck, I wanted to see Luchador Hotaru or fucking something. Have an arc where she grows into the role in her own way and then have her do the Tombstone on the final boss or something. But no, we get nothing

As for zombies, they're just a template enemy filling in for an antagonist gap. They could have been anything, zombies are just a hip new (old) trend.

New magazine spread + (crudely) AI-translated English version.
Evidently they're trying to bring back the create-a-Processor system from the original Victory, but in a degraded form that only lets you change color.
Part of me wonders if this is in lieu of a Processor equipment system like we used to have. SvS and GMRE did not let you change processors and it's likely that this will be the same, there's just going to be one unified processor set for all characters. This would also mean you can forget about them adding the old processor outfits as DLC let alone anything like Black Sister's Next-Gen Cradle.

>>10304
I've already made it clear in the other thread what I think of this and I'll just add here how fitting it is that the one to excitedly reveal this information is a braindead zoomer who's probably happy that Compa is going to suck off his favorite gachashit.
I simply cannot stress enough how much I despise modern """"""""otaku"""""""" culture.

>>10317
For reference, the original Victory create-a-Processor system let you make stuff like pic related (NSFW notice).
I don't know if Compile Heart themselves are disavowing content like this (it certainly seems like they are with how tame even their promotional art is now) or if Sony and Nintendo are more actively policing UGC outside of their own games, but I can only see the more limited creative options as a likely attempt to prevent people from making stuff like this again.

my second ps vita came in! thankfully, it's in decent condition. it's definitely preferable to my old one, that one looks like someone chewed on it...
it's the model 2000 this time, i already don't really care about oled vs lcd, and it doesn't help that the screen on the 1000 model was starting to burn out and yellow in places (though as an aside, playing games on the vita did make me appreciate oled a bit more; it easily has the best looking version of jet set radio, and it wouldn't surprise me if games like mary skelter were made with the screen in mind, i noticed it likes to contrast neons with blacks a lot).
speaking of, i got it in black + pink, because it reminded me of mary skelter, though i remember i was going back and forth on looking for one in white or white + blue, my vita case is miku-themed, so it would've fit better...
transferring the memory card over was also easier than i would've thought, though i think i have to reinstall homebrew on the 2000, none of the stuff i homebrew'd onto the memory card works. i'm hoping that's not too strenuous of a process.
i'm planning on just selling off the model 1000 (though i feel kind of bad, essentially selling off thoroughly used goods for someone else to deal with), but i need the money. i'm hoping i can get project diva and katamari after.
i'm also thinking about giving re;birth 1 and 2 another shot. i originally got into playstation partially for neptunia, but ended up feeling lukewarm towards re;birth 1, and the

<The story-select menu likely defaults to Hacker's Memory because this compilation actually was aimed towards people who played Cyber Sleuth first, at least initially (and the subsequent Switch and PC ports did nothing to change this). This game's history is a bit of a mess, but to break it down.....
<Cyber Sleuth releases on the Vita in Japan.
<Sony prematurely brushes the Vita off as a dead system in the west, causing Cyber Sleuth to be ported to the PS4 when it got localized (there was still a Vita localization, but it was digital-only). For a time, this PS4 port would be exclusive outside of Japan.
<Hacker's Memory is released in Japan for the PS4 and Vita, with Cyber Sleuth included as a compilation. With this, Japan gets the PS4 version of Cyber Sleuth for the first time, and players of the original Vita Cyber Sleuth could use cloud saving to transfer their old data (and the whole compilation comes off being geared towards those veteran players as a result).

Shame this board died, and shame Nep as a franchise died. Meganep was perfect, and they decided to sit on it with so many spinoffs. I really enjoyed Sisters Vs Sisters for the geimuplay, but the story was lackluster, and disappointing.

posted this in the other thread, but wanted to talk more about it here.
one of the reasons i was procrastinating so hard on neptunia was just that i only had 1 and 2 digitally, and only having games digitally never sits right with me.
for some reason, i was under the impression these games were difficult to get physically; i don't know where i got that idea from, if anything, everything i have here was far cheaper than i was expecting...
in addition to the main games, i also got action u (i feel like the vita's kind of perfect for simple hack-and-slash games, and i remember being told that this one's basically "senran but with neps") and sega hard girls (this one feels like mandatory viewing as a maybe former huge sega fan). i really do not care about the other spinoffs, though.

I gotta wonder how these games are releasing like this, did Nintendo refuse digital but not physical? I'd assume that any game card would need to be authorized by Nintendo, so I gotta wonder where the double standard comes from.

Eastasiasoft just announced they're opening their own online storefront as well as an American publishing branch. They may start selling these games through their American branch to make them easier to purchase since they don't have to go through PlayAsia. Additionally, they're teasing the idea of selling physical PC games, which may be how they intend to distribute an uncensored version of Tokyo Clanpool since that game got screwed over by both Steam and GOG. At the least, they'll probably host the uncensor patch they've been holding onto through this storefront.

Nintendo is pushing significantly different publishing standards for Japanese/Asian SKUs and global SKUs. The Neptunia Re;Birth games were cleared for a Japanese/Asian release but not for a release in the west. This game, Brave X Junction (second pic related), was also similarly release in the Japanese eshop but denied a western release with the reasoning laid out by the publisher as a semi-joke comic. This game released globally without issues on both Steam and Playstation (it's rated 7+ in Europe); only Nintendo is this restrictive with this reasoning. They've gone as far as to

Now they're releasing Hyperdevotion Noire. Worth noting that this one wasn't "officially" and directly blocked from a western release like the Re;Births were. Idea Factory International likely just saw how the Re;Births and Neptunia Riders fared and decided it wasn't worth trying. Which brings the question of just how many games there are like this, that weren't ACTUALLY blocked, but the publisher saw how hopeless the situation was and decided not to bother. Like the recent Chaos;Head Love Chu Chu Double Pack released last month which has yet to show any sign of being picked up for a western release despite the main Chaos;Head games being on Switch.

Turns out the speculation about them starting their own store to sell PC physicals was true. Tokyo Clanpool is now being distributed through a special edition USB stick, completely uncensored, in a collector's box limited to 1000 copies.
Lo behold, the extent one must go to release a Vita game in 2020+6.

https://shop.eastasiasoft.com/products/tokyo-clanpool-limited-edition-pc?variant=47988618330352

If you already bought the GOG version, they now offer an uncensor patch for that on their site as well.

I must say, though this took long enough to come to fruition, I respect Joshua French and Eastasiasoft's dedication here. It would've been easy to just leave this at the GOG patch, but they went the extra mile. And maybe, just maybe, this may be the way forward since every digital storefront is so up their own fucking asses now.
