Dear Valued Customer,
We have an important update for you in regards to the Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2 Limited Edition: Gamindustri Savior Set. You do not need to respond to this message.

Due to a small holdup during manufacturing, the Gamindusti Savior Set will be delayed for a couple of days. Our original plan was to ship out all preorders before the release date of February 28th. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, we will not be able to meet that desire. We will be receiving the Gamindustri Savior Set in our warehouse on Monday, February 27th, the day before the release date, and will not be able to begin shipping until the following day.

We will still begin billing this Tuesday, February 21st as planned, and will be sure to contact you if there are any issues processing your payment.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we will still do our best to ship out as many preorders as quickly as possible.

We greatly appreciate your patience, your support, and your excitement for this game! Please have a great day!

For serious meido, moot made a board for this, and it's called /vg/.

Please view my past posts (if you can) to see that I am NOT a troll, and I have quite recently posted about how I respect your judgement. However this not even a doujin game. It's not even a VN.

You seem to like official posts from staff, so here:
http://fuuka.warosu.org/jp/thread/4221966
Note what moot was considering. Notice one important part of his post and of the board name. This fails to meet any of the criteria that qualify it as /jp/-related. I like off-topic threads every now and then (again, see my old posts if you can) but you should not encourage regular off-topic threads when moot JUST created a board that fits them like a glove.

I know you will delete my post (and probably leave the thread) but take into account what I have said here, and read the linked thread.

You're going to need clearer and more recent staff posts to back your statement.

Translated VN go in both /jp/ and /vg/, whichever goes best. /vg/ is only for the General threads that plagued /v/ and not any and all threads in all boards that could go there. The definition of a General thread was made clear during the split in /v/, basically a daily thread that was kept alive with little content but still had a fanbase around it. They were put in /vg/ because /v/ was so fast that it required a lot of tripfag circlejerking and contentless imagedumping just to keep them alive, fill them in an hour, and then make a new one.

This thread is not a Video Game General thread by moot's definition and therefore doesn't belong in /vg/. Now give it a rest and hide it if you don't like it. Call this an issue when you have /v/ threads and their userbase here, but until then accept that /jp/ allows for a high diversity of topics, it's just a matter of them being received.

Heher. It's almost like he was perfectly describing a certain series that has enjoyed an overextended stay on our board. A certain series that is officially over, yet still goes on and on. I digress, however.

Let's take a look at this statement a little bit closer, shall we?

The definition of a General thread was... basically a daily thread that was kept alive with little content but still had a fanbase around it

How can you possibly consider this thread not exactly what you just described? For fucks sake, the last (month-long) thread was little but "I AM EXCITED." Surely, by any definition, that fits the criteria for "little content."

Now that the game has properly shipped, we can easily classify it as "Video game thread" in which case it belongs in >>>/v/.

Not remade daily.
Not a circlejerk.
Not blogging (seriously, most generals were "how was your day" bullshit)

Look, even visual novels qualify as video games when you get down to it. What amount of gameplay required to define it as a game with VN elements or the other way is an arbitrary border that can't be defined.

Some videogames belong here. Ar Tonelico belongs here (Have you played that? It's a goddamn VN with some RPG elements) The board is not worse for having a single thread left for this series or any other. They have a place here and to push them off board just because of your personal reading of the rules is sincerely moronic.

These threads are staying, staff agrees, you should make peace with this reality.

Not really. The music is okay, but nothing special. The only song I really liked was the opening song.

What I really liked about mk2 is that you can't get locked out from routes until very far into the game. Like, you can still fulfill all conditions for the true route just before killing the boss for the normal routes. You can also get all endings in one playthrough. True end adds two chapters to the game, so you should get that one last.

When I saw the Hyperdimension Neptunia Mark II trailer I thought: this is seriously the most otaku thing I've ever seen. But deep down, I want to play it. I really, really want to. My inner raging otaku wants this.

However, I don't have a PStriple, and I'm not buying one in at least one year because my plans for the future translate into me not knowing in what continent I'll be living in the next 2 years.

So, guys, is there a PC game that is similar in theme or aesthetics to Hyperdimension Neptunia?

Likely at most stores. Gamestop usually only carries two or three copies of NISA games and that's it. Try Amazon.

I should mention that no more copies of the premium edition exist if that is what you were aiming for.

Nah, not looking for premium. None of the extras interest me.

So I got the nice box of this at the same time I got ME3, and I started ME3 first. I am a terrible person.

Don't feel bad, ME3 has more content, more routes, more waifus, more romance and a richer gameplay.

I stopped playing this when ME3 leaked, so don't feel bad. I finished it last night and started Neptunia 2 back up this morning.

should I buy the second one?
the first neptunia gameplay was tedious

The second one is better than the first. I'd recommend the second game over the first.

Got the LE today. I live in Europe, so all in all, it wasn't that long of a wait.

You can get most of the endings from one Ch.5 save, though NG+ is nice.

I recommend doing the Ruler or "Bad" ending first, makes the rest of the game better IMO. If you really like the characters like I did, make sure to have some tissues ready.

Shit, you guys weren't kidding. They only had two at the store I went to. They also told me they're expecting not too many units for that tales game for next week, too.

I'm gonna need to make some sandwiches before I start this thing up.

>> No.8677136

So I just completed the True Ending, and had the requirements for all of the cities/maker ends. The only problem is that I only got the True Ending. So do I have to leave a city out when going for the city/maker ends and then pick it up on a different save file?

Does Uni ever get her incredibly lewd outfit, or was that a bit of censoring on NISA's part?

>> No.8678154

>>8678004

Hopefully it's still in there.

For those that have beaten it how long would say it is? Not really in a rush to beat it but I am hoping that it's of a decent length.

>> No.8678347

>>8678154
Well, I snooped around for some Japanese gameplay videos and her current outfit is at least present in the Japanese version.

Which makes me wonder even more at what point it shows up in the game.

>> No.8678390

>>8678154
It took me 14 hours or so of play time to get normal end, then 19 hours in total for true end and human end. It isn't very long, sadly. I do wonder how to get the supposedly "grimdark" ending I keep hearing people talk about though.

I'm in a bit of a bind. I'm trying to recruit Noire, but all of my Lastation quests that award Lastation shares only deduct from Arfoire, and I've completely zeroed out Arfoire in the city. Really shitty, because I'm 5% away from 50% shares in the city.

Am I fucked? Or can I use quests from satellite cities?

Hm, couple questions:

I notice that Rom will sometimes follow up her Northern Cross ult with a Southern Cross that does a ton of hits and damage. I can't seem to figure out what triggers the second attack though. It's not SP...

Also, when do you unlock all the double/triple techs? Are they though level or lily rank/events?

>> No.8679814

>>8678441
There are some Lastation quests that take away from Lowee. I think one is a C rank and 2 are D ranks.

>> No.8680123

I haven't started on this yet as I've been busy but I must ask: Does mk2 still penalize you for leaving dungeons and letting Neptune (or in this case Nepgear, I guess) die? Permanently losing shares which can potentially fuck you over is a pretty silly mechanic in the game.

>> No.8680137

>>8680123
No to both. I leave dungeons when I run out of forbidden twigs and Nepgear dies occasionally against the end creatures/bosses, but no shares are lost.

I have noticed that the Glacial Wolf quest for Lowee won't give the shares reward randomly.

>> No.8680300 [DELETED] 

I'm on chapter 5. I just got all the goddesses now and my worlds shares for every main place is past 15%. When does it transition to chapter 6? I don't want to miss my chance for the true end. I have no more events left to see and my Lily Rank for all the goddess are below 4. I haven't fought the giant Pirachu yet.

>> No.8680314

>>8680300
Ch.5 ends right after the fight to with CFW Magic.

You either need to grind lily rank by fighting or keep spamming chiper until you see more events.

If done right, you should only have to grind a bit to get all the lily ranks to 4-5.
