Hyperdimension Neptunia

Just to add, Re;birth 3 will be released this summer for PSVita, Fall for Steam. And there's Neptunia U: Action Unleashed for PSVita only at least for now.

To expand on the broken-ness of the original a bit, many attacks have elemental attributes, however elemental resistance isn't a thing in the game, not for monsters or characters. There's also a limit break transformation thing that you can initiate any time you want for as long as you want with absolutely no drawback.

Well, you'd probably know more about it than me.

Arc, you should be warned that the NISA published ones feature some heavy script editing and are heavy on memes, thanks to a cretin in the localizations staff.
Said cretin is one of the two guys running (or is it over now?) the Undead Darlings KS, the one dubbing himself godfather or moe or something like that.

There is a difference between properly positioning them and butchering the text so the localization writer could let his own "creativity" loose.

The main plot is voiced but I think most almost all of the quest dialogue is not.

Ugh... not looking forward to that. Was playing Trinity Universe a bit, and noticed them quite frequently.

I wonder what the original line was...

By the way, I'm gonna move these posts to a different topic since it has gone way off-track. Hope you don't mind, thrashinuva, @nyahahaha, Ciel.

The English VA's are actually pretty good. It's just that... well... that doesn't exactly mean you'll enjoy it.

There's only so many ways you can say "holy moe maid waifu".

Yeah Hyperdimension neptunia, mk2, and Victory for the PS3 were all done by NISA.. I think PP was as well, not sure about noire devotion.

Anyway the original hyperdimension neptunia and rebirth 1 are actually quite different. They start off nearly identical but by the time you goto lastation for the first time it's really more different than similar. I don't read Japanese so I can't say how faithful the localization is or not, but I have to stand by the fact that the game was still enjoyable if you don't take it seriously, and I don't know if it was NISA's doing or IF, but I really liked Noire as a character in the original, but after that her character really became simplified and I'm not honestly sure if I'd like her very much at all if I didn't get that first impression from the original (which was NOT left alone in rebirth 1 btw).

Anyway hyperdimension neptunia is IMO a series you should try with the mindset as a Visual novel with RPG game elements. Don't treat it like an RPG alone. You have to enjoy mundane character to character interactions and banter to really appreciate the series, but if you really only care about plot and overall progression and other larger-scale story elements so many rpg gamers tend to want moreso than 'character drivel' it likely will not suit your tastes....Given you like Visual novels though, I'm pretty sure you'll like em.
