[PS3/PSV/PC] Hyperdimension Neptunia series

Some info about the crossover game's Grand Library, and the four eras which Iffy will be jumping around:

Another small update this time around. The Neptune vs Sega Hard Girls game is coming out in two weeks (Nov 26), and as mentioned before, a special Dengeki Neptune magazine issue is being released on the same day to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Neptunia franchise. It looks like this special edition mag will also include a bunch of goodies, including a calendar, a poster, a sticker, a DLC code (and more).
We also get our first look at what appears to be a major boss in the game.
I find this funny, since in Neptunia U, Neptune mentions to Dengekiko about getting a Dengeki Planeptune magazine, to which Dengekiko responds "if it ever happens, we'll let you know".

Spoiler for Vs Sega Hard Girls Spoiler:

Nepgear actually believes Neptune is really a motorcycle and asks her if Mother or Father is the motorcycle.
I can't believe this.

Of course, classic Nepgear

It's stuff like this that made me fall for the franchise. Though I also wonder how Nepbike interacts with Nepgears inherent Mechasexuality.

[The Green One]

That will go many places, all of them hilariously wrong.

Blanc's game is heading West, two more Nepgames are going to Steam, IFI's first VII trailer is up, and IF/CH has a PV up for Nitroplus-chan:

[blaze0041]

Nitroplus-chan (CV: Misawa Sachika) will be released for the Japanese version of Victory II on the Dec 14. The character Seiniku ("raw meat") will be voiced by Yui Shoji.
Interesting to see a chainsaw-wielding chuunibyou this time around...

On a slightly related note, I saw attendees of the IFI Press Event in question got to partake in some... interestingly named drinks:

Those are great names. Not sure about drinking the actual drinks though...maybe a little sip.

Blanc's is going to be especially interesting, because I'm what kind of chemistry Ploot and Uzume have with each other.

Spoiler for Sega Hard Girls:

Segamin can use Chaos Control!

The story is way more fun than Noire's, Blanc's, and Action U spinoff series.

Has a lot of places to go wrong, but I think we can see hilarity since Nepgear mechanical things. What modifications will she do, will she fuss over Nepbike onee's oil.

Almost outta nowhere, God Eater-chan (CV: Ai Kakuma) will be available for purchase on December 25th (It also looks like the game's final Colosseum DLC is being released the day before, and as to be expected, is reserved for the true masters and completionists. Recommended level: 999+):

Idea Factory International also recently revealed a few items from the Neptunia VII (namely a PS4 skin, artbook, soundtrack and slipcover), with the reveal of the final part soon:

Perhaps the most interesting part is that the soundtrack will include the opening and ending songs, plus a booklet that contains Japanese and English lyrics for said songs. It's a bit of a rarity to get lyrics for the games when the games from Japan are localised, huh?

Compile Heart's latest game, MeiQ no Chika Ni Shisu (メイQノ地下二死ス), released today, and brought with some free collab DLC, where the character Estora can don Neptune's duds:

Nepgear in Sega Hard Girls game isn't a Goddess Candidate, she is a Goddess like Neptune, Plutia and Uzume.
The story was actually fun, I think it might be comparable to the main series and way better than other spin offs.
The thing about changing history, how Neptune really treated Nepgear in this game is really the gold part for me.
I don't really mind Noire, Blanc, Very, and other Goddess Candidates in this game.
And Neptune and Segami always gets into pointless argument which is rather ironically entertaining, IF really have no luck in this series.

About Histoire, there are two kinds of them.
The adult looking one and child looking.
No, Trick the Hard actually got it all wrong, even though original Histoire is still small.
In the Victory version, Histoire is a size of a baby.
Original one have just only one tone no matter what emotion she has and maybe emotionless while the Victory one has more than one tone and more expressive compared to the original.
And there is Croire, I'm getting to her later.

[Xacual]

There's an ESRB rating for V-II for PC now which if following past examples means they'll announce the game coming to steam/pc in like 4-6 months or so.

On the topic of VII, the third and final part of the NA/EU PS4 limited edition was revealed recently:

...and here's a complete shot of the LE contents:

Preorders open on January 7th 2016 from Iffy's Online Store, and the NA version is 85 USD.
