The Hyperdimension Neptunia V official website was updated today with the first trailer, new screenshots, and character artwork of the upcoming sequel.
Gary Green said: The concept for a good sequel is not a complicated thing. You take your original idea and expand on the lore, then you fix anything that was broken the first time around. You might want to introduce some new features too; This is fine so long as you don’t go overboard, and you don’t change the overall flow of the game. Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory ticks all of these boxes, so surely then it should be the perfect package? Well, almost. It really is rather good.
Michibiku's Jenni Lada writes, "Hyperdimension Neptunia is huge. It’s a massive series that covers tons of games, all of which are sort of connected? Though also not really, because quite a few are spin-offs and non-canon. It’s a lot to take in, to be sure. With Megadimension Neptunia VII on the horizon, we here at Michibiku felt like we should offer an overview of the main series’ installments."
Our interview with the good folks over at Idea Factory International where we discuss topics like localization, favorite games, and upcoming titles!
The first one was so boring I could never force myself into finishing it. How CAN the fights be so repetitive really? Same enemy in the same enviroments over and over and over and over.
Why won't anyone give me a JRPG like Suikoden 1 and 2 are hmm? Or FF7 perhaps? Skies of Arcadia? Those are the best games around even now. I want a story I can lose myself into. I want emotions. Nothing too elaborate just a basic story with likable characters and a good bad guy. Is that too much to ask? The fights NEED to be turn based. That's the way I like it.
