A certain blogger by the name of どりマギ recently got the chance to play the Victory II demo (which looks like it'll be released post-launch of the full game) at a Wonder Goo retail store (a video posted earlier in this thread showing off the Next Forms was uploaded by the same guy). A few recordings of this demo were uploaded to their YouTube channel, which you can find below. People playing the demo were limited to 15 minutes per session.

Aside from spoilers, be wary of your speaker volume (lots of background noise) and possible screen flickering when watching the videos.

You can see and read more about the demo (such as UI screenshots and a preview of the Dream Edition contents and packaging) here.
Looks like the game will require at least 10GB free on the PS4's hard drive.

nao's latest single, Soutaisei VISION [相対性VISION] - the opening theme for Victory II, was released not too long ago. The limited edition (which funnily has a catalog number of FVCG-1337), aside from containing a DLC code for the 5pb. Megaphone weapon for Uzume (not redeemable until at least May 7 at the very earliest), also contains a code for use on the e-onkyo service to download a high-resolution (96kHz/24bit) version of the song.

The page listing the shop-exclusive bonus items you get for buying the game has been updated, with all item previews now in glorious colour.

Dengekiko news time!
With Victory II hitting store shelves in Japan in just under two weeks, this issue of Dengeki PlayStation pretty much summarises all the new and improved features of the game. The next issue being released in a fortnight (coinciding with the game's launch), will have a DLC code that bestows Uzume with the Politan Megaphone.

For those of you with Japanese PSN accounts and a PS4, a new Victory II theme is available for 280 yen. "MEGA DIMENSION NEPTUNEVII MAINTHEME" (by Nobuo Uematsu/Earthbound Papas) features as the theme's BGM.

Also, 12 screenshots, info on the Guild and dungeon object destruction were added to the Victory II website. Plus, looks like there's some sort of goodies lottery for purchasers of the game.

The Green One · 2015-04-10, 02:29

Really hope Nepgear gets treated better in Victory II this time around. Last time the constant Nepgear abuse really irritated me, got really mean spirited after awhile. Probably one of the main reasons I haven't played Victory a second time.

Gx Hero · 2015-04-10, 07:31

agreed, Nepgear has just as much right to be awsome as Neptune.

Also Corie's back, probaly how older black clothethed Neptune gose around since she has the power to go from one diminsion to another.

Briefly!
There's just a mere 7 days before the release of Victory II in Japan- as such, there's now a countdown website... mainly featuring Arfoire and Umio (at the moment).

...and finally, also from yesterday, PlayStation Japan's プレコミュCafe stream showed a little bit more of Victory II, namely a small number of customisation items and Neplunker gameplay.

Adding to this, Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed (PS Vita) is also set to be released on May 19th in the US (May 22nd in EU and May 27th on the EU PSN store).

Also, here's quick peek at the cover next issue of Dengeki PlayStation, coming out on Thursday:

We'll also see a bit of Compile Heart's games that are currently in the works, including Blanc's game and the Sega Hard Girls crossover game.

Other news from today/earlier in the week:

Upcoming Victory II DLC plans announced

A new Planeptune-themed PS4 theme is now available from the Japanese PSN Store. (280 yen)
Also this week: Uzume's Politan Horn weapon (code from Dengeki PlayStation Vol. 589) and Histy's first item set (Free).
Releasing 30 Apr: Histy's second item set and a Lastation-themed PS4 theme.
Releasing 07 May: Uzume's 5pb. Megaphone weapon (code from OP theme "Soutaisei VISION" limited edition), Level Cap 1 (Max level +300) and the Neptunemaster event (Level 130 recommended).
From Siliconera about the Neptunemaster event: "The Neptumaster is a free download where Neptune and the CPUs have to battle a dubious idol group which has a Noire, S-Sha, and… Arfoire? or at least characters that look like them together."

Victory II website update
New Twitter icons and wallpapers available for download.

Victory II-themed PS4s - shipment delays
It seems that due to overwhelming demand, purchasers of the PS4s with Victory II-themed HDD covers will be receiving their PS4s first, with the aforementioned HDD covers shipping separately sometime in May.

Finally, here's a summary of what's to come with the Sega Hard Girls crossover game and Blanc's game.
Perhaps most interesting about the Sega Hard Girls game is that aside from a new character, Hatsumi Sega, will be playing the starring role, it seems that IF will also share in the spotlight.

Someone's been nice enough to upload the soundtrack for Victory II. Looks like each dimension has it's own world map and regular battle theme.

I've got a request for anyone here who still has the original Hyperdimension Neptunia, a PS3, and recording equipment. Do any of you mind going back and screencapping each of the CPU's handguns as best as you can?

Also, I DO have one comment to make about one particular track on the V2 OST, specifically, 宿命の邂逅 (Used during the Dark CPU fights)

Take "Fighters Honor (Flying Remix)" from Ace Combat Cross Rumble 3D/Assault Horizon Legacy, increase the franticness of the beats, and give it a dark reprisal.

Better yet, I want to hear someone mash those two mentioned tracks together in such a way that it'll sound really awesome.

Nvis · 2015-05-11, 20:40

I guess we're still year(s) from the English version?

blaze0041 · 2015-05-12, 09:09

IFI's current track record in getting the Neptunia games localised seems to hover around the 9-10 month mark, so it wouldn't be surprising if the game hits the West early next year (hopefully).

I must say, I do find the expanded roster of composers for Victory II adds a nice bit of variety and flavour to the soundtrack overall. I'm particularly enjoying the battle themes, mainly the ones I've listed in my previous post at the moment.

I've had the game for a little over two weeks now, trying to get through the game as quick as possible. I've had to replay a certain section of the game a few times over so I can meet the requirements for the true ending, which is slowing me down...

I've made a bit of a write-up on my thoughts and stuff I've noticed about the game, conveniently hidden under spoiler tags:

Finally, looks like Victory II will be getting three new collaboration characters. More to come later in the week...

Nice impression. This makes me hyped for this game more.

Dengekiko news time!

The big reveal this issue is that Million Arthur-chan (Square Enix) will join Victory II! This comes off the back of Victory II's other Square Enix collab in the form of the Neplunker (Spelunker) dungeon.

Spoilers ahead in this issue, as it shows off the bosses for each of the four routes of Neptune G:

Spoiler for The following questions may contain spoilers for V2. Reader discretion is advised.: 1. Why were adult Neptune and Croire in cahoots with Arfoire, at least until the later portions of the Heart Dimension arc? 2. Who gave Nep and Croire the Dreamcast and whose idea was it to plant the console somewhere in Hyperdimension Planeptune? 3. Just what the hell happened in Zero Dimension that led to the state it's in at the start of the game (from what I got, it seems like there was a MAJOR revolt by Planeptune citizens against Uzume/Orange Heart) 4. Is it just me or has Iris Heart's influence rubbed off on Neptune/Purple Heart? At the end of Neptune's route in G Dimension, she, as Purple Heart seduces Steamax. 5. Why was Uzume's alter-ego manipulating the Gold Third (which I will refer to from this point on as G3)? 6. S-Sha's buried split personality of E-Sha (presumably representing Enix before its merger with Square). Any more details on her? I'll post more when I can think of more. __________________
