I'M GOING TO MARRY NEPTUNE AND PURPLE HEART IN AZUR LANE

>>14223774

about 3 and half hours left

>>14223785

2 and a half.

>>14223785

>>14223789

I only saw the 30 and thought it was half an hour. Someone please kill me.

>>14224487

If by "trigger" you mean starting a fresh account then me

>>14224678

It's funny how friendly this game is to people who refuse to pay a dime.

Now games that actively fuck you over like Brave Exvius can go die.

>>14224686

>friendly this game is to people who refuse to pay a dime.

except when I want the specific nep

>>14224690

If they're Noire or Vert I'd wait until the banner changes. I can't say for Nep or Blanc as I got them in 60 cubes out of the 220 I saved up.

>>14224704

I can hardly call the game friendly when they split human/HDD into two characters instead of retrofits

>>14224733

Or having 2 Neps in all your fleets with a Noire or Vert being the flagship.

>>14224686

I don't know, a chinese game like this makes me a bit suspicious about it, even with neps in it.

I must admit that, this series is better than I thought.

I thought it was just waifufag bait.

>>14224686

>Now games that actively fuck you over like Brave Exvius can go die.

Ooooh boy, don't look at the last update if you thought they were fucking you over. RIP FPs

>>14226477

In 4 months 4GO and V-II R will be out though.

>>14226478

Boy don't even look at that gam after 2nd anniversary if you think its bad now

>>14226551

Yeah, I know. RIP any non-base-5* units

My only regret is that I can hardly read a single sentence in Azur Lane. My Japanese studying has enabled me to read a few words here and there, but it has not been kind.

>>14226574

It should make for a half decent practice though, right?

>>14226591

Yeah, Lord knows I need it. I still don't understand half of the mechanics of this game, though.

>>14226614

>>14226653

Mein negre. Now this thread can return to talking about Neptune.

>>14229309

>Noire is awful, and the ones that are OK are clear downgrades over their JP counterparts.

Fun fact; her english VA joined that strike nobody gave a shit about and thus won't be getting the role again.

Leddit, DA and twatter think it's heartbreaking.

>>14230056

>Come on this is beyond silly

I meant it as a joke, like the magic bullet theory

>Why are you still playing this shit edition

SLUTGEAR

>>14231780

This looks like the first one they've done with a franchise like neptunia.

>>14236711

>Not censoring with Gya's face

Which version of Neptunia Rebirth should I play?

I have it on GoG and the Vita, are there any advantages or disadvantages? I like my portability for comfiness but if there's enough advantages to the PC version I might play that instead

>>14239689

The achievements add very small boosts to stats, the only one I did consciously was the jump one since you can do the first 2 levels for every character pretty quickly by jumping in place.

>>14240287

I should have fucking gone this year. Didn't so that I could prep for an interview that I fucking bombed.

sage for blogpost

>>14239689

actual spoiler you do not fight the little annoying girl whom, iirc, is 40+ years old

give Cave a try and be sure to use her special moves for a nice surprise

>>14244258

The oppai mousepad looks like it might be for Orange Heart or whatever game that is next to the pixel neps.

>>14244258

Wet Neps

>>14245306

>Can I assume then that it'll devolve again into rush attacks later game?

You'll be using rush along with SP healing items, they attempted to nerf the EXE spam by requiring that each character has the adequate amount of SP instead of a single bar that they share between them. Characters like Cave take the new mechanic and break it on their knee.

>>14248962

Tekken a cute! Though she feels like a Nepgear clone to me. Only with a masochist boner instead of a mecha one.

>>14248962

tekken's great at dealing out and taking damage and she's CUTE, CUTE, though I really don't like the chain necklace

>>14255514

>what is a "leader skill" I saw it in the plans menu for Noire

When that character is the leader of the party the skill activates, for example I think Neptune's skill is that she cuts SP cost for EXE.

>>14259957

Histy has the best hair

>>14237402

what are you, a homo?

>>14271986

>Nepgear is a moron and deserved that beatdown from Rei

You deserve a beatdown from both Rei and Iris, but you'd probably enjoy it. You're right about tiny Compa and IF, though.

>>14272064

You haven't played the second game, so you can't really understand why RB;3 shits on nepgear constantly.

>>14272119

Not discounting the possibility I'll change my mind about her as that happened with Plutia (still dislike the voice though). If I'm up for the depressing universe I'll continue RB2 and give RB3 a break.

Oh and I don't enjoy beatdowns. But I do enjoy seeing her torment others, and looking at/hearing her.

Looks like the Azur Lane thing is going to keep going for another week or two but now Noire and Vert have higher drop chances over Neptune and Blanc.

>>14231780

I think they did something with Nico Nico but this is the first cross-game thing.

>>14271986

>more best girl being best girl

Iris is good taste.

>Nepgear is a moron

Now that's a little harsh. She's more "smart but severely autistic". There's an honest to god official manga where she loses her underwear and instead of putting on another pair she and her sister instead sperg out and cause an international incident (which has lead some to speculate just how tied up she is with stuff). She's a 2D Peanut Butter Girl and in that vein things about her make more sense. Interestingly when she's away from her sister she's almost a functional member of society.

>Tiny Compa and IF are adorable

Babby IF is a killing machine, she's great.

Because anime girls make you gay.

Hello Nepfags, I'm a newfag to Neptunia

I have Re;Birth 1 on GoG and am about to play it. Is there anything I should be aware of before I play it, like essential mods, patches, uncensorship things, etc.?

Also is it better played with KB+M or controller, what settings are best, are there any difficulty modes and does the story change, etc.?

http://dengekionline.com/elem/000/001/674/1674299/

>A remake of a Remake for the PS4

>More information Soon™

>>14281252

> Is there anything I should be aware of before I play it, like essential mods, patches, uncensorship things, etc.?

There's no mods you need for RB;1.

>Also is it better played with KB+M or controller

You don't need the mouse but you might enjoy a controller with it, the keyboard controls take getting used to.

>are there any difficulty modes and does the story change, etc.?

You can make the game harder through plans you make in-game and there are multiple endings.

>>14281271

Thanks anon. Is there any "true" or best endings? And how long does a first play through of the game take would you say?

Is it comfy on harder difficulties or is it possible for it to be too hard to be so if I make it harder? I can handle some fairly tough JRPGs but I haven't cut my teeth on the hardest ones yet

>>14281337

Thank you anon.

One last question, which voice set should I play with? I assume its obviously Japanese but who knows? I have a high tolerance for dubs

>>14281386

Even if you can stomach the dubs, only about 1/3 of the game is voiced in english. This is apparent through the main games, surprisingly the spinoffs are almost 1/1 in terms of voiced content minus the "minor" changes in choice words.

>>14281405

>only about 1/3 of the game is voiced in english.

What the fuck is this lazy shit?

I suppose I shouldn't have expected too much, not like its a big budget game or anything. At least the japanese voices are likely better.

>>14281409

Oh shit, thanks anon this will definitely help.

>notepad to remember where all the items are

there are times that I sort of like the idea of having to write shit down for a video game, not sure if this is one of them. I'd have hoped the areas would be memorable enough to be able to just flat-out remember where the items are but this definitely helps

Also

>a combo system with some depth to it

Sexy, shame about what the EXE gauge sounds like it does to the game though

>>14281426

>voices

I think there's maybe one unvoiced event in RB1 with Japanese, but it's only a minor DLC one. Unfortunately there's a lot more of that in RB2 and RB3. RB2 actually has one of the early game tutorials (Viral enemies) unvoiced. RB3 criminally has "how Plutia met Histoire" unvoiced. Also yeah, switch over to English voices at some point and see for yourself. It's night and day.

>I'd have hoped the areas would be memorable enough

Ooh boy… There's some good things in the series but the level design is not one of them. They're extremely lazy and re-use the same areas a few times with minor variations. Then they re-use them in other games. It's a budget series and it shows.

>notepad

I recommend using a FAQ personally. Just forewarning since there's a lot of random items in the game, most of which only get used for a couple of plans and then become vendor trash. Some sort of crafting mechanic would've worked better.

>combo system

It's not majorly deep. Early game use power and guard breakers since there's no EXE, and the rush attacks don't have enough hits on them. Also, RB3 attempted to address the balance, and makes it a little less cheesy, but it's still heavily rush-focused since everyone has their own SP bar, and that powers HDD, SP skills, and EXE.

There's a lot of cap-worthy scenes in this game, its really a treat going through it, but I can't keep up with all the allusions and whatnot.

>ancient dragon one-shots entire party

Yeesh.

Also equipment plays a really big deal in this game I see. Default equipment IF gets 1-2 shotted by regular mobs in West Wind Valley.

>>14285530

>>14285520

Oh, this explains why I had such a tough time.

I forgot to equip the experimental fucking weapon. At least I beat it already but I probably could've saved a lot of healing items…

polite sage because this is near-blogposting at this point

>>14285818

Thanks for confirming that she will stab me in the back, probably for credits or something stupid like a dirty slut

I don't trust any of the CPUs and haven't since the beginning scene of the game

>>14286730

>Rude

Can you blame me though?

>beginning of the game

>she teams up with the other CPUs against Neptune just because some unknown random suggested it

>the next time she sees her, she waits until after she defeats a strong monster that's hurting her lands and is tired before she strikes with her HDD

Its bullshit, so much for her "honor". The guilt and shame she should be feeling for attacking purest Nep makes me only slightly warm to her but I still don't trust her

>>14296370

In HDN the weapons had attributes like that, in the remakes the weapons just add stats and/or change the hit range of the weapon.

>>14296830

I'm guessing it was done for a quick and dirty re-balance. .

If weapons don't have special attributes you only have to balance around statuses the characters can inflict with skills and how they interact with each other rather than also dealing with any weapons somebody might use.

It also prevents the sort of situations where people will keep a level 15 sword forever due to how status effects tend to scale in retarded ways.

By making it straight up stats and range there are less real variables that make you want to keep a weapon forever.

>tfw went the whole game without using exe drives

>just now start using them

goddamn this game is perfection personified in cute girl form

>>14300130

>tfw played the original first game

>was even more confused when getting into mk2

>tfw never got tainted by conquest route

>>14300174

I plyed OG first, too. I found out mk2 wasn't related to the first game at all so I stopped playing OG because that gameplay was so bad. I liked the story a lot. Even more than RB1's (though RB1 is still great).

Did you at least youtube it?

>>14300288

What the fuck?

Why did people recommend i play RB1 over the OG?

Or am I just confusing myself

>>14300314

The writing was great, but the gameplay was the worst in the series. Hell, it has some of the worst gameplay in any game I've ever played. For example, the gameplay is a turn based JRPG, which sounds hard to fuck up too badly, but then they made item usage completely up to RNG. So if you were low on health, you couldn't heal when you wanted. Only when RNGesus said it was okay to heal.

>>14300433

>For example, the gameplay is a turn based JRPG, which sounds hard to fuck up too badly

>they made item usage completely up to RNG

wew

That's the worst gameplay idea I have ever heard for RPG.

>>14300433

And to add insult to injury, you lose shares when a character gets KO'd.

>>14300272

>youtube it

Nah I'm good, I already know what happens and all.

>>14302470

>webM

Dear god what the fuck is that abomination

>>14302470

I can still never get over the fact that Nep sounds like an 80 year old woman in English.

>>14302553

The only things really wrong with these are the "hilarious, hip, cool and cute" dialogue (such as omg kthxbai) and when they're clearly just imitating the Japs and not attempting to localize at all (Nepu, seriously?). So bad localization and bad localization.

>>14302553

Welp.

I'm fucking glad I'm playing the subbed version.

>>14302572

Fuck are you talking about?

The voices are fucking mediocre as fuck and some sound just like young boys instead of girls They also have no energy and aren't even trying, its like they're speaking english how an American would speak spanish to a spic.

"Kay Pasa" and so on

Its fucking weird and wrong on too many levels, and the acting in general is just weak as all fuck

>>14302553

I still don't know why there was a need to dub this in the first place. Why this weird extra work that ends up being garbage in the first place? It's a waste of money to half-ass this shit.

>>14302715

I guess even if like 10% of the cutscenes are actually dubbed in english, that's enough to let the pseudoweebs who are afraid of Japanese voices feel safe when they play.

>>14302796

I honestly wish a team would make some tracker on their game to see how many people actually play the game fully on English dub. I question if spending the time and resources is worth that number of people.

>>14302952

VII has a lot of new tracks (well I guess not so new now since the game's almost 3 years old now). I really like the battle theme from the Zero dimension in that one.

>>14303163

Vanilla-wise, non super boss monsters initiated by plans can be obliterated without effort at 70/80. Superbosses and omake territories require higher numbers, and there's a few maps locked behind dlc that would eat you alive if you walked in with less than Lv500.

As a reference, none of the DLC characters are subject to the level cap, thus they can go straight to 999 without more dlc (P-ko, Pururu, HIsty).

>>14303535

So I'm still in the "okay" range then?

Good.

>>14304062

>tfw you'll never go and shoot with Uni and remove dogoos

>>14306950

Then just play V-II. Linda still isn't in it, but it is the better game and you don't need to know what happens in V to get V-II. I mean, technically V-II is the sequel to V, but storywise, they just kind of ignore it for the most part.

Any news on that RB2 Re;Translation Vita port?

>>14314412

>2 more chapters

Jesus fucking christ, so like 6 more hours?

That sounds small but it feels like it'll take forever

I'm still enjoying myself though, all things considered but I just wish the story was forced to move faster at this point rather than continue at this same pace

Plus things cost so many credits now, I never expected to nearly run dry and I have so many party members that its ridiculous

One thing I can give credit to to the writers though is for being able to create dialogue that includes all of them, because goddamn I know how tedious it is to do a few lines for just 4, let alone fucking 8 now

>>14314041

I tried to get into Nep because /v/ talked about it quite a bit, and this was the first game I played. I played it for a while and then dropped it, not because of the gameplay or anything but simply because it was so insanely tedious. Each boss you came across was a giant pain without grinding out a few more levels first, and it just felt like a gigantic time sink with little to show for it.

That was the only Nep game I tried, and then a month or two later some anons told me it was probably the worst installation of the series and that it wasn't a good one to start with (ironically I think a number of people fall into that trap thinking that Re;Birth is meant to be a good game to start off on).

>>14315715

anons told me that it was the best game to start on idk, what even would be the best then?

>>14315236

I wish. That was also why I was inclined to do RB3 first.

>>14315706

If that's your feeling don't continue the series. Outside of some refinements the other Re;birth games play pretty similarly, and the spin-offs really aren't all that interesting or are plain awful except to fans of the series.

>>14315764

They probably told him the first game was one of the worst to play (it's even mentioned further up). Re;birth 1 is a remake of that which massively improves the gameplay and is a good introduction to the series as a whole.

>>14315782

>don't continue the series

That's unfortunate. I enjoyed it at the end of the day, its just that there's so much to fucking do outside of experiencing gameplay relevant to the story or the story itself

and part of the problem is that a lot of it features grinding, one of the worst examples that I'm recently coming across is getting 2 unexploded shell for a qatar recipe for IF, that tank thing is a long fight no matter what and iirc it gives a ton of xp and credits (the latter might start being useful now given i have so many characters and everything is so expensive now but its still annoying)

I don't like feeling too powerful to where I can ruin or break the game, and I feel like I can do that for the most part. (except for some optional bosses/tough monsters ironically enough, those are harder than the actual bosses more often than not)

>>14314041

>at least 20% shares or something, is that true?

It's ~25% in the four nations, you'll also want no shares in the other category.

>>14315791

Also I feel there was a massive missed opportunity for interactions and dialogue options or changes involving the lily ranks imo, and the fact that there doesn't seem to be a way to find a hidden link on Vert's blog sort of disappoints me. They could've done something similar to Fire Emblem's supports and maybe even had it affect the ending in some way, but that's just my opinion and I can see that sort of frustrating people

>>14315794

Thanks anon, this will be helpful but its not going to be fun to raise up Lowee. Barely any quests that give more than 2% to lowee

>>14315828

The OP says Re;Birth 2's translation got fucked, how's the fanslation?

>>14315866

>how's the fanslation?

It's fine, it was made by anons here and it removes the shitty localization the game got the first time around.

>>14315892

So should I /scurv/ it or buy it then? I bought Re;Birth 1 because the translation was okay and it seemed like it was worth supporting, who did the translation for 2?

>>14315905

NISA

>>14315911

Welp that answers that question for me, thanks anon

>>14318915

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

>>14318970

>Blanc ends up being the hardest of the 4 bosses

Strange as fuck considering she was a literal pushover the last time I had to fight her…

Anyways I'm about to face Momus apparently and it says I'm in chapter 7, should I get my shares up and do everything, is the end close or what?

>>14315905

>>14315911

This is false. RB2 is IFI. One of the empolyees from NISA joined IFI and did the translation, but you'd be supporting IFI, not NISA. Also that translator got fired after RB3.

>>14320432

Let's just name the fag, the translator was Nick Doerr. I don't even think he's doing translations anymore.

>>14300433

Stop spreading misinformation, because you could assign 100% item usage, using it as soon as possible, bypassing the RNG.

I recommend playing the OG on the PS3 if you can, the gameplay takes time to get used and the Re;Birth is a step in the right direct regarding the mechanics. But the history in the Original is away more fleshed out, the characters are more convincing while they end up more moé in the following games.

>>14321379

You have a limit on the number of percentage points you can give though. So making healing 100% means you have less percentage for something else. OG is great storywise, but I just can't recommend anyone playing it. I wish they'd remake it with improved gameplay.

>>14323992

Anime, please for the love of god anime if those webms are anything to go by

I've been enjoying it so far, just avoid reading many of my posts in this thread as there may be spoilers

Yes

T-thanks.

>>14329643

Fucking mods.

I think we need to go smack Mark and his hotpocket crew again, this is getting out of fucking hand.

>>14331608

Happy that you had fun with it anon. Which nep is your favourite so far?

>>14331647

Its still Neptune but I've since grown to love all of them, feels almost wrong to separate them into which one I like the best but if I had to choose for right now, it would be her. Its kinda funny how much I distrusted them since the start of the game. I love how much of a gamer vert is though, IF is really cute, Compa really is underrated for all that she does imo, Noire, something about her just appeals to me. Its kinda just sweet to see her be all loner-y and act tough and slightly grumpy but really she's a softy deep down; its cliche as fuck but I love it. Blanc has own appeal. Her feistiness really gives her a lot of points in my book, its nice to see someone who can actually get fucking angry in this game. Neptune is still top though, just because of how she basically won them all over to me, and won me over to herself with her adorable personality. Innocent yet a teasing bully, self-centered in a lighthearted way but also incredibly amicable that's friggin' hilarious.

The side characters were all also nice, out of them I'd probably go with Tekken though, followed by Falcom, Mages, Marvelous, CC2 and broccoli

I still dunno who Nepgear or whatever is, I'll have to go back to the save before I took on the boss and check these "goddess" plans out or w/e

>>14331608

RB;3 has the best Nep (Plut). Idk if you want to skip RB;2, only one of its ending is kinda dark.

>>14331608

>>14331693

Do not skip RB2 even if it is more serious than RB1. It's the first canon game in yhe current universe. RB1 was a lighthearted game since they knew nothing in it mattered in the long run as it would have no weight on the overall timeline. You cannot skip RB2 because you won't understand the main dimension or VII, which is the best nep game. You could skip RB3 since its story is completely ignored in VII, but I kind of wouldn't recommend it. At least try it and if you don't like it, then skip it.

>>14331729

>>14331778

I wasn't planning on skipping any games. If I end up playing them I will most likely play them in order or in whatever way would be best. I usually play plenty of serious games, its just that I wonder if a fully"serious" game can work in this setting and with these characters without feeling weird, awkward, unfitting or hamfisted. If it ends up working out nicely then that's great

also

>main dimension

Eh?

I won't ask too much because I hate spoilers

RB1 is a standalone game is what you're saying?

>>14331725

thanks anon

>>14331854

RB1 is mostly self contained. It's loosely based on the original PS3 game which was also an experimental game, so they gave it a rather definite end. The second one and onwards actually have continuity with each other.

Re;Birth 1.

Grind to level 20. It should be enough for her.

I got wrecked by her too.

>>14332937

>grind

Yea, I figured that would be the answer. Goddammit Japan.

>>14332898

Buy some fucking life rings. Back attacks do more damage iirc, and that holds true for everyone so don't show her your back.

>>14332937

which Nep game has the least amount of grinding? Why do the nipponese have this obsession with grinding in RPGs minus the Last Remnant, boy oh boy?

>>14333013

you shouldn't have to grind too much. Its much more based on equipment. Levels obviously help though, but yeah if you have any equipment seems better than what you have,equip it or buy it and don't be afraid to use your items, and like other anons said life rings are your friends

>>14333152

I don't know.

I only played Re;Birth 1.

I have way too many games in backlog.

50+

>>14333152

rebirth 1 and 2 i think

theu have coliseum battles that allow you to get lv 999 for all charcters in 1 hour

rebirth 3 there is no such battles but you take more time raising the lily ranks than get lv

and VII is the worst of the serie because the localization unpacthed the game and made it unbalanced (your max damg in that game 20~30k while the rebirth one charcter alone can easy deal 500k with the EXE skill)

>>14333370

if Re;Birth 1 has the least amount of grinding of all the Nep games I don't even want to think about what it's like playing the other ones.

>>14333484

just open the coliseum you will vae an easy battle that give you 8 million exp if im not mistake.

also when you get a level 3 EXE change the monsters of the dungeon and fight the powerfull monster you can kill them with 3 exe drive skills and you can reach lvl 20 in 2 or 3 battles

>>14332898

I really get should have that life ring picture saved for these occasions.

I wanna sleep on a bed filled with neps

>Back Attacks

If you mean ambush, then yes it's entirely possible to be ambushed in the Re;Birth games.

>>14341034

I'll try that then.

>>14341056

That's sooner than I thought it was going to be, so in less than 2 weeks I'll be able to play it.

>Feb 27

It's too long. What do?

>>14341097

>I'll try that then

I'd suggest linking it here or whereever else you go and get it some attention

>>14341333

Torrent when?

>>14341395

It seems like someone already made entries for all of them, I voted for the ones I could think of like V-II.

>>14341058

I mean circling around your target in battle and performing your combos on their aft-ends resulting in more damage than had you done so to their face. If you've played Megadimension, I'm sure you'd have noticed the enemies positioning themselves behind you often and attacking your characters backs.

Flats are an abomination

heels are only slightly better, but they still suck dick too

Give me boots or just regular footwear any day, not that gaudy shit that everyone pretends to like but nobody actually does

>>14341443

voted as well, thanks for checking anon

Hopefully they come some day soon, especially 4GO

>>14344510

Now c'mon, this thread was going so nicely without the shitposting, even the comparison image that anon used for eastern and western dressing styles was very much fair and not like that at all

>>14343199

>I'm reading this as a bed with Neps as the stuffing and there's nothing you can do to stop me.

At least it would be bouncy, though I'd worry about their oxygen supply

>>14344525

I guess that counts as biting bait

I'm a dumbass

>>14345158

>I never played any of the games, so I don't know if she spends time blatantly trying to show her ass off

She is pure, don't worry. Also play Re;Birth 1, its translation is fine and you'll get a real introduction to the series

>girl-next-door look

tfw those don't exist anymore. We need more people like Tiffany from huniepop in the world

tfw what you're describing is getting pretty close to what gets called a 'basic bitch' look of uggs + leggings/ not-skinny/mom jeans but I actually love that shit

Last time I saw that shit that was common was in high school, but my horny teenage self was blessed enough to be in a year filled with actually cute 3DPD

Meanwhile my little brother 2 years younger than me laments how ugly all of the girls in his year were, and they definitely fucking are

>>14334040

I don't believe that actually worked.

>>14345570

>Also play Re;Birth 1

I would, but I don't want to be roadblocked by the lack of a proper R;B2 translation.

>tfw those don't exist anymore. We need more people like Tiffany from huniepop in the world

Or Compa.

Regarding how women these days wear those Uggs with their tight pants/leggings/etc., that's at least a step in the right direction–somewhat like the balance I was referring to with regard to Compa's legwarmers, just a debased version. It's so because they're not only frequently shorter than what'd properly provide the effect, but the portion covering the feet look quite flat, killing the soft look you'd get from rounder-/slightly bulkier-toed footwear (once again, exhibited to charming effect by Compa). For some reason, women only seem to like a pointed, angular, harder look these days–that includes their pants that are tight down to the ankle. That said, those mom jeans need to disappear. These sheeple are already bringing them back with their skinny jeans; even worse, they're doing it with booty shorts, in another ridiculous, vain attempt to appear sexy. Whether their pockets protrude or not, they definitely look like they're wearing diapers. What a world.

Sage for post deletion/reposting for editing.

>>14346031

We already fixed enough of the rebirth 2 and 3 translations to be serviceable though anon?

>>14346517

Forgot to uncheck the sage option. Ah, well.

>>14346517

Re;Birth 1 is a standalone technically anon, its just a very good introduction into the series, so you could play it and not have to worry about losing anything by waiting until 2's translation works on the Vita aside from just your general anticipation to play the next Neptunia game. I'd recommend doing that

>>14346869

A tempting solution. I'll have to think about it.

>>14347824

>think about it

Nigger just do it unless you already had a game waiting on your backlog that you're sure you wanted to play before Neptunia, trust me you'll have enough appreciation and context for the girls by actually playing the game rather than merely admiring them from a detached perspective until you wait for a Vita port that might be a little while in coming

Trust me anon, you won't regret playing it, and you can post your progress and playthrough if you want in the next thread, as this one's about to hit bump limit

Your life will be better for it, trust me and I can say that from personal experience.I don't even wanna spoil how you'll feel, but you will enjoy yourself and be happy in ways only anons who have played a Nep game can express, now go play it

>>14348887

>It's not a meme at least for Re;birth 1.

So, it doesn't work in other ones. Damn.

>Try leading with Spiral Break on a boss and it makes a clear difference in their ability to hit you or dodge attacks. Speed boosting can best be seen on Vert since it's a natural ability for her.

I need to unlock some extra items/level up a little to end chapter two first, to actually see it.

>Finally in the early game, life rings more than double your HP and make Compa an actual valid source of HP restoration.

Yes, I noticed Black Heart was just a breeze with these. I admit that her fight was rather long though.

>>14349135

>So, it doesn't work in other ones. Damn.

Haven't played enough to confirm. In RB3 though you don't get life rings until later. Early game has the much weaker stamina ring. That one also attempts to limit EXE spamming, which is a serious balance concern in the first game.

Mind, in RB2, when you get to the first real boss fight, you'll quickly realize how important buffing.

>I need to unlock

It's Vert's EXE Drive. I use that as the example because it's particularly crippling (-AGI -TEC -LUK -MOV) and she's often the fastest character in the party so it's perfect to use as a first attack. Neptune gets Stat Multiplier (+VIT +MEN +AGI +TEC) later. Early game you'll have to do it with items though. Pay most attention to AGI since it means more opportunities to do stuff, and affects evasion.

>I admit that her fight was rather long though.

Damage sponges are a bit of an issue early on sadly.

>>14349295

>Mind, in RB2, when you get to the first real boss fight, you'll quickly realize how important buffing.

I will remember that.

>Early game you'll have to do it with items though.

This is why I want to unlock temporary stat boosting items first and symbol attack destroying enemies.

Also I need to level up a little more, because Compa doesn't manage to heal all damage from last boss in Chapter 2.

Does upgraded symbol attack gives you exp, items and money without fighting them anyway?

>>14347898

>Nigger just do it unless you already had a game waiting on your backlog that you're sure you wanted to play before Neptunia,

Your response is quite persuasive. I expect everything you say to be proven true, which is a problem in itself: I'm currently playing Dungeon Travelers 2, and after finding out that Alisa Heart's seiyuu voices my video game waifu, I've been stuck to that game–partially, as I've finally managed to apply the fan translation to FE: if, which, itself, stands likely to keep me from playing DT2 if I'm not careful (mind, I only have the time to play handheld games at/going to/returning from work). That is because I've wanted to play it for so long…but without that terrible "localization" (read: bastardization).

That being said, I've wanted to play Neptune since the very first game. The only reason why I didn't was because I didn't have the money at the time. By the time I did have it, other games took my attention, and I'd heard that it was unplayably badly designed; and the more I like a game/franchise, the more strictly I judge (and thus analyze and eventually criticize) it. Maybe I should order it, then, given how it's come before all these other games.

>>14348887

>She doesn't try like that no

Yes, it sounds like she is still as pure as the anon above said.

>Re;birth 1 barely ties to the other 2 games so you're actually safe to play RB3 afterwards.

Perhaps so, but I do not wish to skip R;B2. When I first encountered Neptune, the series evoked high levels of interest in me–I always imagined that there was so much to enjoy. I now think there's much to miss from anything skipped. (Within reason, of course–if a Neptune rhythm game is developed and released, I won't have any interest, as that genre do not appeal to me at all.) Here is a question, though: do the games use each other's data in any way? For example, clear data, or anything found over the course of the game being used to influence the next. If that's the case, I would be compelled to stick to the Vita games.

>I'm enjoying these walls of text, and can't really complain since it ties to the aesthetics of a Nep.

What a shame, that I didn't know my words were regarded so. Had I known, perhaps I'd not have compressed my thoughts the way I did, or perhaps not as much; such abridgement made my thoughts fairly difficult to express in a manner I felt was acceptably coherent–on top of whatever else was impeding me at those times.

What's more, I feared my words would have less and less relevance to the series (particularly Compa). That said, the essence of my thoughts bears direct relation to Compa, because she is pretty much a perfect example of why I find the vast majority of women I come across today unappealing–or, at least, tremendously disappointing if they're already physically attractive. To compare Compa and these ovine modern women properly illustrates the decline of feminine beauty.

Finally, there is something I am keenly aware of. This is the Nep thread, not an extension of /pol/. (While I do agree with many things I hear there, I am not on board with all of it–"Everything in moderation", as is and has been said. I like to add "including moderation, when necessary".) I understand that my cultural commentary is only relevant through the aforementioned comparison, and is ultimately political at its core–of which I have no doubt, given Yuri Bezmenov's sagaciously accurate and precise predictions.

>>14349702

Even after deleting that post and double-checking for errors, I still managed to let one slip. I also forgot to sage–apologies.

My vocabulary and writing skill are two things I allow myself pride in, though I do not express it arrogantly. Humility is a virtue I have always hoped to pursue and adhere to.

>>14349315

>Does upgraded symbol attack gives you exp, items and money without fighting them anyway?

Not actually sure, I never used the plan.

>>14349702

>Perhaps so, but I do not wish to skip R;B2.

You aren't. You're delaying it until it's experienced in the best way.

>do the games use each other's data in any way?

No.

>This is the Nep thread, not an extension of /pol/.

When people complain about /pol/ it's mostly because of low effort throwaway posts that invade every goddamn thread. This is on a tangent to be sure but it's interesting and relates to why people like Neps, and you don't seem stupid enough to make it a constant blight.

>>14349315

It doesn't, it just gets rid of the enemy, which is good if you need to get an item from the early stage but don't want to deal with the doogoo's.

>>14349749

>You aren't. You're delaying it until it's experienced in the best way.

>No

The decision has been made, then. I do look forward to finally–after so many years of waiting–jumping down this hole.

>When people complain

Duly noted. As for that topic, I'd not mind continuing at all, but I'd have to have an acceptably seamless way to segue back into it, or something to draw the thoughts back to the surface of my mind.

>you don't seem stupid enough to make it a constant blight.

I should hope not, as I have come to have a very low level of tolerance for stupidity and, such being the case, I should also hope not to somehow cultivate it within myself.

>>14349827

>It doesn't, it just gets rid of the enemy, which is good if you need to get an item from the early stage but don't want to deal with the doogoo's.

Damn. Thanks for info.

>>14349702

I didn't know Jordan Peterson had an interest in nepping

>>14348887

>Is there a higher quality version of the Plutia "boing" song?

Uh, there can be if I can find the source file and re-encode it.

Also this one is about dead, so new thread:
