Pre-ordered the LE. I know the UK release is around the same time, but I have more faith in the US version getting the DLC promptly/at all.

The 'H' stands for hentai.
Are there any DLC that you are looking forward to?
I picked the first one up in January and had way more fun with it than I expected. I'll have my hands full with Vita and stuff though so I'll wait a bit before picking up mk2.
Looking at the screenshots in the OP, what happened to my beautiful AA'd graphics of the first Neptunia? Don't tell me they traded AA for that weak cel-shading outline effect?

Well GAF, I decided to go for the LE. As I checked out, I was greeted with this:
I shouldn't have sat on it for as long as I did. ): Still going to get the standard because I need some Nisa action ASAP.

DLC characters made Neptunia mk1 a lot more enjoyable for me. I'm not convinced I would've stayed sane throughout the game if I'd been forced to use the default trio the entire time, not least because they (well, Compa and IF really) seemed underdeveloped compared to basically everyone else.
I know mk2 gives you more playables throughout the game than in the first one, but still, always love me some extra party members.

Aww, that's tough.
Seeing that makes me glad I ordered the game when I did.

Ooh, I didn't know that Cave was DLC. I haven't played the game, but I could tell she will likely be the "cool-beauty" type like Kan'u Unchou from Ikkitousen or Tear from Tales of the Abyss.
NISA, take my money!!!

Reviews coming in now.
Improved over the original, but still far from good.
(Some aspects sounds repulsive according to RPGFan's review, but YMMV.)

I was going to get the special edition, but I honestly wouldn't have time to play it for a few months. I have to put my 40-50+ hours into an rpg all at once, and I won't have that for awhile. I only just got the first one back in January, and haven't gone through the final parts of the game, though I did beat it. If there weren't so many flat-chested chicks I'd probably have gotten the game anyway, but oh well, I'll cop it eventually, probably.
And what the hell happened to RED?

This is less RED and more Idea Factory. RED haven't been the same since Sakura Wars died.
hey, a villain. that makes sense, lol

i didn't use her much (at all), but she was still fun to have around
it's a conspiracy against boobs, that's the only explanation
I got the standard edition of this because I don't like dealing with NISA for preorders. I still haven't finished the first one yet but I think I'm close to it. Got to go get some holy weapons now.
How much of an improvement is MK2 over Neptunia and can you manually heal yourself?

What great timing, my order for the Hyperdimension Neptunia + Mk2 Artbook arrived.
Here is my review on it, if you can afford it, get a copy when you can.

I'm only about 6-7 hours in yet but it seems like a huge improvement in terms of the battle system and dungeons, story is about the same.
The battle system is actually really quite good, I was quite surprised with it

Still waiting for my copy, NIS America's site hasn't said anything about shipping yet.
The artbook I got today is a great consolation prize from the mail, but I need the real deal :/

I still haven't heard anything about my copy (LE) being shipped either, but I read on the NIS forums something about them being contacted and saying they'd be shipped March 1st.
Sorta tempted by this. I really do like Tsunako's work.

Not actually that important
Hey Volc:

If you like the art, buy it. You will not regret it.
The only thing I suggest is to skip the anime cutscenes section UNTIL you have beaten Neptunia Mk2 first or else you will see all the endings.
Was so concerned about spelling it correctly in the title, didn't notice that. Fixed!

So... Is gameplay somewhat like the localized Sakura wars game, but more jrpg vs srpg?

From the sound of the NISA emails, they will not be making any more LEs.
kinda yeah, it's in that realm of stuff like Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter and Arc the Lad Twilight of Spirits etc, you have a circular range you can move about in based on a characters movement stat to position them and attacks have different areas of effect, some are linear some are wide slashes and stuff. Combos are much shorter now so you wont be hammering an enemy for hours with 1000+ hit combos, might disappoint some people but it really ups the pace of the game
I'm really enjoying the performance increase too, you encounter enemies on the field and can pre-emptively attack them and the battle starts immediately, no loading or anything

Yeah, unlike many companies they actually intend to make the Limited Edition....with a limited release.
I got the email also, since I live in Cali I am hoping it reaches my place by Friday
I know the feeling... the kicker for me is that I am moving in two days to a new place. On the plus side it's only 15 min from my current place and I have my current place until the end of the month, but given the size the package will likely be I will likely have to come sit in my empty apartment waiting for the mail.
I am hoping this turns out like Disgaea 4 did for me and I got the shipping confirmation about 2 hours before I got the package and that my package will be here soon lol, especially since I need to have this game beat by march 13th.
they live up to their slow ass shipping service. they need to use a new place.

Mine hasn't shipped yet either, so you're not the only one.

Mine's shipped/fulfilled, though it'll take a while for it to reach me in the UK. Not that I'm in a rush to play it anyway (lol backlog).
I am for the most part fine with waiting knowing that NisA will be getting a larger percent of my money than if I went through someone like Amazon.
At least they offer free shipping now... two years ago we wouldn't have our packages and we would be charged like $12.50 for shipping for a LE lol
