Also, while the JP series not using "Hyperdimension" is normal, I'm surprised to see the English name change it. I figured the bean counters/marketing guys over there would be afraid that changing it would risk losing sales or something.

These names are getting more and more ridiculous

EDIT: Apologies for the flip response. Glad that fans are getting more of what they love, but churning out product does the IF brand no favors.

One of these days, I'll jump on the Neptunia bandwagon....
Considering it just came out in Japan a couple months ago, I wouldn't expect a localization announcement that quickly considering it's a whole new game that's supposedly pretty huge.
I'm super excited about VII though, apparently it's actually a huge improvement over Victory in terms of both plot and gameplay! Really looking forward to playing it! Uzume looks really cool too.

This one look great and doesn't seem to recycle so much from the last games, I'm probably getting it.

Played through all Neptunia mainline games this year and beat them all in around a week and a half each. And plan to get Spinoffs soon. So hyped for more NepNep. This may actually be my first PS4 game in awhile since so far I haven't gotten any this year. (And 3 total)
In Pokemon terms, it's not.

No longer canonical
That's cool and all but what about Rebirth 1 PSTV compatiblity dammit!
Christian von Koenigsegg disagrees with you.

Finally. Too bad it won't come out this year, but early 2016 is fine i guess.
GOTY 2016 is up for the taking :3

I'm genuinely impressed that the steaming pile of shit that was the first Neptunia managed to spawn such a massive franchise.

It helps that the devs seem to actually realize where the major faults are with the past games in the series and are making each new one better than the last (in regards to gameplay at least, story is hit or miss). Because ya, honestly don't see how anyone could stick with the series if they hadn't changed anything since the first 2 games on ps3.

VII? Weren't they on like... IV for main series games? Or are they counting remakes or those Vita spin-offs?
I dunno, as an outsider, this series makes no sense.

The title is actually meant to mean Victory 2 or V - II, don't really understand why they went with it how they did. It's still the 4th mainline game in the series though (HDN/Rebirth, Mk2/Rebirth 2, Victory/Rebirth 3, Victory 2).

More Nepgear is always a good thing.

You know what?
I was genuinely surprised when I bought re;birth 1 on sale on Steam. It's actually a fun game. The combat is nice.
Will buy this when I get a PS4 again.

The cuteness literally came out of the computer screen and hit me in the face.

Does his best thinking in the flying car
VII is a good number for JRPGs and I guess they wanted to get to it faster*?
*by faster I mean at the rate they're cranking these out actual VII would have taken what, another 2 months?

It's a sequel for Neptunia V hence V II
It was also the 7th Neptunia game (not counting ports) released

I have to reluctantly agree. I love the writing, but playing all three of the main games on Vita felt like I was just going through the first game three times. I really hope they have a bigger budget for this one, I'll be there in a flash.

It will have actually been ~3 years since the last mainline entry when this comes out.
The other recent stuff is spin-offs in other genres and remakes that largely served to give all the games a pretty nice combat system (which is probably why the rebirth games feel similar they were more about bringing things up to date than introducing new stuff).

Ahh ok I've only played Rebirth 1 and have to start Rebirth 2.
What should I play before this one?

Mk2/Re;Birth2 > Victory/Re;Birth3 > Victory 2
Nothing else (including Re;Birth1) is canon.

You are amazing. Thank you so much!
I thought Re;Birth 1 would be considered as canon.
Gunstar Ikari
Unconfirmed Member
Nah, Re;Birth1 is self-contained.
The original Neptunia's story made it very difficult to create a direct sequel, so they started over with Mk2. Re;Birth1 changed Neptunia 1's story but made no effort to connect it to its sequels.
