[PS3/PSV/PC] Hyperdimension Neptunia series

[Asuras]

Gamestop sells it so... I'm pretty sure you can get it offline around here and there.

[Ryonea]

Chapter 5 of the Web manga is out

It's N1's turn.

[RRW]

seem compile heart making sequel of neptune called "NPG"

http://www.siliconera.com/2011/03/21...handheld-wars/

[Kurosu]

According to andriasang.org here were some quotes given in relation to the "NPG" game

* "What if game machines were cute girls?"
* "That machine will shake in your hand like a little girl."

>.> what?

[Ryonea]

Teaser site is open:
http://www.compileheart.com/npg/

Judging by the pic, looks like it will be Neptune-related after all

[SaintessHeart]

Needs more Azunoire jokes.

[SilverSyko]

My guess, NPG = Neptune Portable Game. Interesting to see that it seems it'll be a completely different character too.~

I wonder if the characters in the first game will even appear? Maybe as cameos.

Here's hoping for even more consoles to get personifications. The pile of them in the background makes me hopeful for that. (Specially the Dreamcast on top.~)

According to the countdown the reveal will be on April 7th.

Wish there was a male character in the cast...oh wait CH treats it's Male Cast like props

[Nerroth]

Since the main console was Neptune, it would be neat if they called the portable character Triton(ia)...

[SilverSyko]

Apologies for my last post. Did my math wrong and it turns out the reveal date will be April 13th.

Also, seems someone had a little look into the coding of the teaser page and came up with this URL:



Neptune Mk2 eh?

[jwai]

Just spotted this game today, but I'm rather hesitant to give it a go, because I find NIS and its associates to be very hit and miss with their titles. I still haven't given Atelier Rorona a decent go yet...

Is it normal for character to sometimes gain no more HP/AP when leveling up, or is it just a bug? For example, Nisa went from 68 -> 72 but total HP is still 9200 (including HP bonus from equipment).

There is a cap for some characters. Usually the goddesses (Neptune, Noire, Vert, Blanc) have more, and more powerful stats too.

If I am not wrong, NISA has got the most adaptable combo set. Much more so than Noire's (actually nobody uses her other combos other than her Savage Wolf Fury ).

BTW Chapter 6 is out.

Spoiler for spoiler:

As contrary to her flat-chested counterpart in K-ON, cats DON'T like Noire. And it seems things are starting to get serious with some people trying to resurrect Magiquone.

And it is incredibly funny that Neptune is so easily bribed by Mcdonalds. Like a child.

Thanks for the info, so it isn't just me. Another question, how much yuri content does the manga have? I'm a big Noire/Neptune, Vert/IF, and Compa/Blanc shipper.

None. It is just basically fanservice.

A few questions, does the manga take place during the game timeline, before it, or after it? If after, which ending does it use? Is the manga considered canon?

The manga is canon. And there is only 1 ending for the game -

Spoiler for spoiler:

Where Magiquone gets yamato-cannoned by Neptune's 2nd limit break.

Speaking of which, WHY HAVEN'T THEY RELEASED AN ALBUM FOR THE ED YET????

Noire always gets fanservice. Heck, her clothing has always been violated since Chapter 1!

There should totally be a band episode where Noire is made to play an electric guitar.

One final question, is anyone doing a translation of the manga?

More info about the possible Neptune mk-II:

A few preliminary details on the sequel have leaked out from Dengeki PlayStation. As with the original, Neptune mk-II, fully "Choujigen Game Neptune mk-II," is in development for PlayStation 3. The scenario is being handled by Natsumi Iwasaki.

Characters introduced in Dengeki include:

Purple Sister, aka Nepgear
Black Sister, aka Uni
White Sister, aka Rom & Ram

With that "Gear" in the character's name, it looks like there will indeed be a portable theme.

The game is said to have improved graphics and a four party battle system.

Compile Heart is readying both standard (¥7,329) and limited (¥9,429) versions. We're seeing either an August or September release time period depending on the source, so we'll have to wait for verification on this area.
