Not even a year

>Not even a year
How do you feel about having yet ANOTHER Neptunia game?

If you think about it, they have pulled 4 main games in 8 years, its not that much really

This is just a remake. And it's been 3 years since the last Nep main game, and will probably be at least another year more. The actual new Neptunia game is soon to be announced, and it's going to "surpass our expectations by 1000%" or something like this.

If you've played one you've played them all. Trash just like Madden, Ass Creed and Senran.

0 x 1000 is still 0.

Proof you never played the games. Each of them, except the ReBirths, is unique and aren't even the same style (Nep games are JRPGs, musous, action games, idol games, SRPG, mobile/gacha games, among others). The only thing that all games have in common are the characters, not even the assets are reused between games with exception of the ReBirths, again.

Given VII is one of the best JRPGs of the current gen and 4GO being quite good, even if only a spin off, my expectations are quite high to be honest.

>Given VII is one of the best JRPGs
What the hell are you smoking? Give me some of that

>only an update on VII

hope the next entry turns into something big!

So, give me last gen JRPGs that are better than Neptunia. Star Ocean 5? Don't make me laugh. Atelier Sophie/Firis? yeah, hell no. Final Fantasy X or XII are remakes and Persona 5 is probably the first game that came out and was better than VII, but this Neptunia game stood for at least 1 year as the best JRPG the PS4 had, excluding remakes.

Happy! Hopefully PCfats get a port too!

FF XV.

Nep makes me smile so thats good.

I actually agree and disagree at the same time. I agree because FFXV does have more production value and is way more polished and way higher budget. But I also disgree because the game, when it came out, was just unfinished and a buggy mess. But anyways, this game came out 11 months after VII, so it still doesn't change tht VII stood as the best PS4 JRPG for around 1 year.

Literally okay when Nintendo does it.

>But anyways, this game came out 11 months after VII
Good point. But still, this is just a reminder that we're having a weak gen, not that VII is good. And I say that as someone who loves the franchise.

Just because the gen is weak, doesn't mean it's terrible. There's been quite a few good JRPGs, just nothing fantastic. Neptunia VII is between good and fantastic, so better than this gen JRPGs, but worse than the fantastic JRPGs the PS2 had, for example. But it's still a solid and really good game.

Should I wait for this or just play V-II?

Just get VII on a sale, I don't see why waiting for VIIR. Given how different VII and VIIR are, I recommend playing both at some point, so just get both on sale.

Bloodborne
Xeno
Persona
Breath of the Wild
Blue Reflection
FFXV

>b-but nintendo

>stupid weeb thinks Blue reflection is not as garbage as nep

Bloodborne isn't a turn based JRPG
Xeno,Persona, BotW, FFXV not only came all around 1 year after VII (I said VII stood as the best JRPG on the PS4 for around a year), but half aren't even on the PS4, but on the switch.
And I'm gonna ignore the Blue Reflection comment cause I don't want to think you are an idiot.

So, simplifying, you just didn't read what I said past the first sentence, or you're really dumb and didn't understand what I meant at all.

>stupid westernfag thinks Neptunia games are still garbage

>it's a virtua forest episode
>It's a recycled golem from Agarest episode
>It's a recycled CG from their PS2 games episode
Only ironic weebs will defend this

I liked VII and I'm honestly more hyped for VIIR for the refinements to VII than for the VR content.

But that said, Neptune being cute in VR along with Zone of the Enders 2 are the biggest things making me want VR right now.

Not like weebshit is hard to make

Dude, your reply is so useful! No way, it isn't. There has never been Neptunia games on the PS2, recycling one enemy from another franchise doesn't bother anyone that never played the said franchise, and Virtua forest is gone on the latest game. So three invalid points.

But no, no one defends reused assets, yet even Final Fantasy reuses them.

Pretty easy to defend at this point.
>Virtual Forest is gone
>The Golem is gone
>I haven't seen any recycled CG.

>Obvious troll is obvious
I mean, he thinks Neptunia were PS2 games.

I can argue Neptunia VII is better than Persona 5 and Xenoblade 2.

I can too, but I won't because there's way too many trolls and haters on this troll given the title OP chose.

I gave up on this fight. Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to fight back to back to back and suddenly THIS SHIT COMES OUT when you're halfway dead.

And after all the rage and subsequent grinding, this fight ended up with no winning side story wise. What a bummer. I wanted to seethe CPUs killing every last one of them , but then Uzume bullshit power came in.

My first attempt on that fight I got wiped out before I even got a turn in and had to grind a little bit. But the fight before that I don't remember really being much of anything. Just heal up before you kill it.

Anyone can argue that shit tastes better than steak.

Doesn't make them right, just retarded.
Doesn't make

I'd honestly like to see you faggots try, I could use a good laugh.

Anyone can speak bad of a game they never played, give no arguments to justify their claims, and think their opinions are a fact.

Doesn't make them right, just retard.

I already say I'm not, I don't argue with trolls. I'm only giving you that there's lots of things Neptunia easily does better than both those games, those being combat animations and the characters overall.

>combat animations and the characters overall.

No keep going, you're hilarious.

CG's from their PS2 games doesn't mean Neptunia, ironic weeb. There's also no excuse for using enemies from unrelated series or recycling the same maps. Fuck off.

is this going to be an actual argument or is this going to just be NAH NAH NAH you're wrong!

don't support meme games.

I'd feel sad not giving a (You) for you since no one speaks with you on real life.

Too late.

You still didn't get my point. All your arguments are wrong. neptunia is NOT a PS2 game and never was. Also, there is no repeated CG between two games. Using one enemy from another franchise isn't a problem, Persona and SMT does than every time. Recycled maps are only frequent on the ReBirths, which are cheap yet fun remakes.

Seha highschool girls
Nep zombies
Cross edge CG backgrounds appearing in Neptunia

Xenoblade isn't turnbased but you call it a JRPG over BB?

Falcom were one of the pioneers of JRPGS and they made real time action games, fuck outta here

>Spin off
>Spin off
>I'll pretend you didn't say that

How do i get into this series? Which one should I start? Or is it like FF where the order doesn't matter?

Is the series actually good for me if i'm a weeb?

It doesn't need to be explicit turn based, I'm just not considering games that are way off the mark, like Bloodborne.

Literally
>T-That doesn't count because I said so
You were that kid at school weren't you?

Don't fall for this shitty meme series.

I swear there are only like 2 or 3 nepfags on here constantly trying to push their shitty games.

Neptunia ReBirth 1 = introduction to the characters
Neptunia ReBirth 2, ReBirth 3 and VII = Canonical timeline, and are sequels in that order.
Rest is spin offs and avoid for now.

As for if it's good or now, the 3 Rebirths are decent games, and good games for weebs. Neptunia VII is a good game, and probably the third best weeb game curently on the market for the current gen, after Persona 5 and XC2.

I never said Neptunia was a PS2 game you fucking retard. Compile Heart and IF have been making games on the PS2 and lazily reuse assets from them.

Fuck off back to your look at this nep threads.

I like Japanese games and I have a high level of appreciation for games with cute girls but I played Re;birth 1 and the gameplay was absolute trash. I don't know if VII improved on it that much, I heard it has, but I wouldn't bet on it being that big of a difference personally.

>not considering games that are way off the mark, like Bloodborne.

Lol, you can't be out here calling games like nep and persona xeno JRPGs and dismiss BB because no animu art style

>calling yourself a weeb
Yep, it's made for you.

All your points revolve around saying Neptunia is bad on those aspects because of their spin-offs or crossovers. Even the Neptunia fanbase agree the spin-offs are bad on that regard, dude, doesn't mean the entire series is.

It's a complete different genre, Bloodborne and Souls games are almost Western games since how they are presented.

I will argue, 30 minutes is what I can spend here, as you know neptunia vii came February 2016, as a jrpg nothing even came close to it over a year, it had good music, revamped combat system, exe drives were not nearly as broken as they used to be and skill became useful, the game had very few recycled stuff, and maybe its because of the sheer disappointed I got from ffxv, but the game had better gameplay than it, arguing about characters is kinda pointless since this is a niche game, and you have to like neps to enjoy it, so I ask you, what game is better than neptunia?

>I swear there are only like 2 or 3 nepfags on here constantly trying to push their shitty games.
96%-100% positive reviews on Steam from thousands of reviewers. Sorry, user.
VII is a huge difference, but I found VII really fun, so if you disliked RB1, you probably won't like VII.

Listen user, ignore anyone who mentions rebirth 2 or 3, those games are trash, the only games worth playing are rebirth 1 and VII, play spin offs only if you really like the character, because the only way you will endure them is by liking the character

What does Neptunia and CH have in common besides CH being it's creator? Neptunia games are miles better than your usual CH trash.

>It's a complete different genre

What genre? Cuck? You literally can't explain your reasoning.
>muh it looks western

>Western games since how they are presented.
LOL how many hoops do you have to jump through to prove this?

Not him, but why do you compare an action RPG with a jrpg?, do you compare third person shooters with fps as well

>Bloodborne and Souls games are almost Western games since how they are presented.
that's a really shitty argument
don't mind me though, merely lurking the thread

...

>the only games worth playing are rebirth 1 and VII
No, they aren't. ReBirth 3 is in fact better than ReBirth 1 in every way besides the dialog, and ReBirth 2 introduces the Candidates which is a lot of people's favorite characters by now. Not to mention all the recurring jokes that will make no sense on later games if you skip earlier games.

If you keep buying this trash you deserve to have your money stolen

Okay, look, if you guys didn't get my point, whatever. I'm saying that saying Bloodborne is not comparable with Neptunia, Persona, XC2 or anything like this, saying it is doesn't make sense, and I can't believe you retards can't see why.

>jrpgs aren't action rpgs
>despite the fact that series like tales of and Ys existing
>despite what i said here

Yeah lad keep it up

>There are people itt who didnt play the original PS3 games

Because Bloodborne and Souls games are actually better lmfao.

On a real note just admit the art style is the only reason you don't wanna compare them.

>besides the dialog
That is literally the only thing worth of the rebirth games, battles are mindless exe drive spam, rebirth 2 is the most painfully boring thing I've ever played, rebirth 3 makes every character a shit version of itself, and the jokes are as bad as the story, which can be resumed in "don't make plutia mad", a terrible mary sue, who is not even good gameplay wise, its like they are not even the same characters

We aren't talking about strict JRPGs, user. There are variantions. We just aren't considering games that are vastly different. Bloodborne is an example, Dragon's Dogma is another.

you mean it's not a "weeb game" because it has a fairly heavy western setting. I agree that jrpg doesn't necessarily encompass all rpgs made in Japan

Not art style, but game design. In other words, I'm comparing it with games that aren't realistic looking, have anime art style and gameplay revolves around your usual leveling up mechanic that automatically increases stats and gives you stats points and skill points to invest on abilities.

XB2.

But that is not the point, bloodborne is a real time action game, neptunia is a turn based RPG, the only thing they have in common is that you can level your character, everything else can't simply be compared, in bloodborne you attack based on your weapons, in neptunia you have skills, and those will always be the same no matter your weapon

>Not on the PS4.
>Released almost 2 years after Neptunia VII
>Arguably not better either
Did you even read my comment? i swear, Neptunia haters are getting more dumb by the day.

You literally claimed BB isn't a JRPG though while passing others that are considered ARPGs as JRPGs. Make up your mind.
If mechanics were the only thing you're bitching about how the fuck you allowing Xeno2 comparisons when it plays nothing like Nep? Seems like cherrypicking to me.

>Your game doesn't count unless it came out in a very specific time-frame and adheres to my esoteric standards of what an rpg is!!!

You Nepfags are pathetic, christ.

>xeno2
I am not that user, I do not know how xenogears 2 is, I do know how bloodborne is however, so I can tell you why its not a proper comparison, and regardless, it is a new game, it might be better, but all he said is that neptuniaVII was the best jrpg of the year 2016

Because Bloodborne is nothing like Neptunia. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Tales for example, which might be considered Action RPGs, at least have skills and skills trees, actual party members, variety of items to use and collect, and I think you got what I meant by now.

at least have skills and skills trees, actual party members, variety of items to use and collect

Which bloodborne has all of, even party members, you can summon NPCs to fight with you, or real people.

You don't use items on Dark Souls through a Menu which pauses the game.
You don't have party members on Dark Souls or BB like on Neptunia or XC2 or even Tales, it's vastly different.
And on SoulsBorne games you only invest skill on stats, on all JRPGs I mentioned, when you level up you immediatly gain the stats. And by skills, I mean skills that pauses the game when you use them and stuff like that.

Bloodborne is vastly different from Neptunia, I can't believe you are even comparing both games.

I've played through most of the Nep games, and yes, VII was a good game. It's even possible of standing up on it's own without belonging to the Neptunia line of games. But in no world is it an amazing game. It's just truly a shame Nepfags are so fucking awful that they turn most anons away from this series without even trying any of the games.

I don't think anyone is arguing it's a masterpiece. It's a good game though.

Wasn't the argument being it was the best JRPG on the PS4 until FFXV or Persona 5 came out? Then some retards tried to compare Nep VII with Bloodborne and this started. But yes, it's a good game.

...

This Neptunia VII is good meme is getting out of hand. It was almost competent, which is a tremendous step up for Compile Heart, but it's still janky, ugly, terribly designed and balanced, riddled with glaringly stupid flaws, and lacking in the story department. It's still got all of the usual CH culprits like blatant map reuse, boring level geometry, and a vile DLC policy. I enjoyed VII but it is only a good game relative to the previous entries in the series. Most JRPGs are far more complex and complete.

> It's still got all of the usual CH culprits like blatant map reuse, boring level geometry, and a vile DLC policy
Nothing like those actually ruins a good game like VII. It's not a good game for Neptunia standards, it's the best JRPG the PS4 had for years.
>Most JRPGs are far more complex and complete.
Complex and complete doesn't mean better or more fun.

>lacking in the story department.
The fuck? The Story was great. Best story I've experienced in years.
>Most JRPGs are far more complex and complete.
Like? Trails of Cold Steel? PPPFFFFHHHH Persona 5? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Unfinished Fantasy XV? LOLOLOLOLOL

>HURR SOME OLD SHIT GAME SUIKODEN 2!!! I MUST CLING TO IT FOR 30 YEARS!!!

ToCS is pretty fun though. TiTS gameplay is complete and complex, but boring though.
Don't badmouth Persona 5, it's a great game
And Final Fantasy XV was fun on it's own way.

I had no issues with this fight and didn't even grind or anything. Then again I was using my Full Combatant party with with crossover allowing for group specials. Main thing is take out Blanc first since she hits hardest and TT will fuck you up. Vert would be next due to range. Main goal is use a party that you can split and have them in areas for group attacks.

>ToCS is pretty fun though. TiTS gameplay is complete and complex, but boring though.
It's basically the same combat system of Neptunia. But moving takes an entire turn. Boss battles are kinda fun just because 1/2 way they always throw some stupid crazy move that kills 1/2 your team. And usually the strategy here is just to delay with Rean, Evasion tank with ninja girl, and depending on the enemy, smash with Laura, or shoot spells with Emma.

But it's just use Rean's AOE attack, then clean up with everyone else. The battles arent' complex at all.

That said, I did like the orb customization options in ToCS. The minute I got those stupid bells, and loaded up on cast speed, the game became just trivial and boring.

What would a DAL game similar to Nep/FFF be like?

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the orb systrem either. I guess they just threw it in there because hey, it's not a Trails game without it. But I liked ToCS a lot, honestly.
