Why is this game so damn good?
>These fucking huge as fuck maps
>Lots of characters
>Skills list grow more and more as you play
>Simple enough to be fair and difficult enough for some actual challenge
>This awesome mood and setting
>Moving 3D enemies in the map
>Grotesque and dark

Don't you have to do one of those silly rubbing mini games periodically?
>Idea Factory
Are you trying to make me vomit?
You don't have to do it at all if you don't want to
They became a publisher only. And they're a great publisher
>>Skills list grow more and more as you play
I haven't noticed my jobs getting any new skills?
Did I fuck up?
totally optional.
>I haven't noticed my jobs getting any new skills?
>Did I fuck up?
no. more and more appear as you level up. I believe it's 10 levels as the class to be more proficient and get more skills
>I believe it's 10 levels as the class to be more proficient and get more skills
I did not know about this
Sort of. Your blood skill grows, but your regular skills is rather limited. It's to force you to change classes and use the devolution to learn new skills.
>Your blood skill grows
oh, the massacre mode things? I never touch them
Looks like a Nep game.
Pass.
I think user means the active skills like how Red can counter in her default class and Alice can get a HP boost.
I like all the little touches around the dungeons to reference which fairy tale its combined with as well as the enemies being based on other characters in the relevant story.

PC port when? I don't want to buy for vita I feel like I waste money when I spend over 15 dollars on a vita game.
Is the art book in the LE any good?
just wait a year or so
not really
here is a fun tip for anyone playing.
use Red's scissor skill on any beating hearts you see in the wall. They are hidden chests
Depends I can only say what's in there but I have no idea what you like.
It's got few pages of the promotional artwork, character descriptions for the MC and heroines. Character art of the important NPCs. That's pages 2 - 26. Pages 27 - 45 is character drafts and alternate designs, enemies designs and drafts and dungeon art and drafts. Page 46-70 is Event CGs.
What's the best team?
I don't like when games that should have plenty of art to easily slap into a book barely give you anything, but that's pretty good.
Plus looking at this again and realizing I somehow missed the 107 page picture novel being its own thing.
Thanks, I'll definitely have to check this out.
No problem user. Hope you enjoy it.
What is the story like actually
I know it's a drpg but I'm curious
The only thing that's annoyed me so far is that you don't get a chance to put Thumbelina in the back row before you fight the 2nd nightmare. Unless I was stupid and missed an opportunity to do so. I lost a fair few AEDs on that bastard.
you could.
after beating the boss, you can go back after rescuing Thumbelina but before breaking the core
The cast live in a living organism referred to as Jail and are trying to escape from it as its infested with demons that take humans to actual jail cells where they get tortured to please the Jail and encourage its spread. You play as the few characters who can fight evenly against the demons in hopes of making it possible for the survivors to escape.
The main appeal is that the characters, enemies and dungeons have a fairy tale link.
The first dungeon for example is based on Alice in Wonderland. The enemies are the white rabbit, cheshire cat, mad hatter, etc. with the dungeon being a mix of the actual location (City streets) and references to the fairy tale, so lots of card imagery and the like. Everything also has very dark and grim imagery.
well, what's done is done. Thanks for saying user.
I love the look of the game but does this game have an actual story and characters or is more along the lines of like etrian odyssey where its real bare bones and you kinda just make up your own?
you have a story and established characters.
This looks fun, but
>PSVita
lel
it will likely get a Steam Port
it can also be played on a PSTV
How much fanservice is there and how much of it is forced on you?
DT2 was great and the way they did the fanservice meant it was enjoyable even if you don't really care for fanservice in games.
I'm one for good drpg gameplay, but not mandatory panty shots every other minute and rubbing games, etc.
>How much fanservice is there
a lot
>and how much of it is forced on you?
some job costumes are risque. Rubbing minigame is totally optional. Blood Skelter mode is lewd as fuck but you can prevent it
Thanks user thats what I wanted to hear, guess I'll pick it up.
Is the gameplay actually engaging or is it just repetitive nonsense to distract you from life for a few hundred hours?
The real question here.
Is dub or orginal voices?
I'll admit to playing on dub so far because I just want to understand what they are saying on the victory screens and other non subtitled stuff like that.
I'll definitively get it later. I'm strapped for cash right now, and already picked up MHS for my portable needs.

So another slightly above mediocre DRPG by debs who do basically every year release of them if not more often and obligatory huge amount of fanservice to hide all flaws.
Nah, I pass.
it's a CH game so I would not be shocked to see a Christmas sale
Japan dubs everything
>first dungeon for example is based on Alice in Wonderland
>very dark and grim imagery
Well fuck, now I really have to get it
There's a wolf boss that chases after little red riding hood. And Alice's boss looks like the queen of hearts.
It's a nice touch.
Wtf is a nep game? I didn't know neptunia spawned its own genre
and some field abilities are based off their tales.
Alice has Rabbit Hole while Cinderella's is a reference to when she bolted when it hit midnight
I don't like the character design.
Whats in the Collectors edition?
Impossible.
I'm playing original voices but I did listen to the dub and I will admit I do like the voices of Jack and Alice not more than the OV but I don't hate it.
Understandable, but what about the monster design?
Actually, the character design is fine. I think it crashes too much with the overall aesthetic.
Game, Tapestry of the Keyvisual, art book and prequel light novel.
I really like it. Im this user btw. I would have preferred a more 'mature' character design. I don't know if mature is the word for it tho'
whats your party looking like right now?
I think I get what you mean.
That pic does a good job of showing how jarring the "cute girls fighting monsters" gap moe is in this.
That is a fair point. I do like the designs but I also get what your saying. If it had the members of Dawn in the LN with the Leader as MC that would be pretty cool too. Although it'd work better as a different genre since its a slightly different moment in time where things are much more lively.
Well it's technically on point with grim fairy tales.
I thought the art book thats in the LE is good. The LE also comes with a novel book as well which is worth it. I never seen other games that came with a novel in the game's LE until now with this game.
Just the first 5 girls only beaten the 2nd dungeon so far, its weird not having a party with such a huge focus on physical attackers. In most CH games I have a good mix with 3 physical attackers and 2 Mages or Mage and Healer. So having 3 back row members so early with them mainly being support is a little off-setting but in a good way I'm fixing some of my flaws from when I was just powering through things with brute force.
Sleepy is a fucking beast if you find a long bow though.
DT2>>>>>this
shit>>>>>your opinion
>Idea Factory
>Compile Heart
how about no?
I'm not interested in shovelware
I gave my fair share of listening to the voices. The dubs at least this time sounds like they are putting in more effort to suit the situation rather than flat and emotionless. Granted it's not perfect but it's not the worst either.
How is Red's voice?
Fair enough. I mean I did listen to a few scenes with the other characters in English after I switched to OV and I do agree they put in a lot of effort. If I decide to play through this again after I finish it I'll probably play through in English and get a really good feel for the English voices. Like I said I don't hate them just prefer the Jap voices over them.
This is one of their better games.
Honest opinion? I think I like it a bit better than the JP voice. Nothing is wrong with the Japanese voices but when you have a character that is to be seen as the "eldest" of the group you kinda do expect some sort of maturity in her voice. I think the English dub got the good feel of her sounding slightly mature than the rest of the girls while still keeping her cheery attitude.
Tl:dr; she sounds like how she's suppose to sound like in the English dub. Just my opinion though.
you people say that every time new one gets released, I'm not failing for that again
Whats the chance of this game coming to PC? Im loving my VITA on the go but I could see myself sitting down with this on the weekend.
Anyone at the third boss fight? What the Fuck man? These difficulty spikes are nuts
Paladin
Gunner
Mimic
Mage
Blood seeker
Around one year for PC release.
For any anons that do like CH DRPGs and have a Japanese account vita the demo for their new DRPG is available for download. Tsunako is character designer for it
Correction not Tsunako but Manamitsu who did some character designs in NepVII and Fairy Fencer
whats the current list for DPRGs in Northa ameri?
100%. Probably announcement sometime after cyberdimension port is released early next year
>SEXY LOLIS AND BUSTY ANIME GIRLS!!!!
Thank you Mr Marketer.
Anyone know how to beat the third boss? I am stuck. I can't even find the stairs to go up higher.
