/nep/ - Hyperdimension Neptunia

In recent board news, I'm fixing many of the oldest threads that have been broken by the site back end changing over time.

In series news since the last post, many new Nep games have come out. Nep 5 is rumored to be on the way, there's collaboration game with a Canadian company and there's also a Nep phone game (an SRPG) being made.

Also Tsunako left Compile Heart because her parents are sick and she's looking after them. But she's still working on the Nep games.

>Nep 5 is rumored to be on the way
This was all the way back in 2018? Fucking hell. I guess I can understand why Nepfags were/are so frustrated even if I really like what Compile Heart was focusing in during that period instead.

Is this just a humblebrag? Of course it's worth it, it's arguably the best game in the series. I would recommend you play HDN PS3 or Re;Birth 3 first, though, as this one doesn't really set up the characters and setting like they do and mostly assumes you're already familiar with them.

I'm more just asking because I fret about possibly getting in on a series when it's on #7. Because yeah, I don't know anything about this setting or characters.

>>8817
>when it's on #7
It's actually more like the fourth, being the fourth mainline game. It's called VII as a joke on it being the seventh game in all (counting the spinoffs) and being a direct sequel to the previous game which was titled V/Victory. It's properly read as V-2, not VII as in Seven.

i know this post is almost a decade old but fuck dicksword, it has killed so many communities by siphoning all of their users and turned forums and imageboards into deserted towns.

This. The entire thing is probably a ((( gayop ))) designed to do just that.

>>8767
Not really, a lot of forums were already dead long before discuck, and reddit already did what you described before it anyways.

>>8772
It would be foolish to deny the truth, anon. Discock did far more damage to forums than Reddit ever could've hoped for.

This. But that's presuming the individual you're talking with is an actual person, and not some niggerpilling kike, for instance.


>Discock did far more damage to forums than Reddit ever could've hoped for.
IMO there's no question that what you say is true. It's probable that it didn't even start out as a glownigger-funded gayop, but only became so after the kikes realized what a goldmine it could prove to be to lock away free discourse from the public eyes (while still leaving the entirety of it all under their ((( watchful eyes ))), ofc). Untold amounts of content have disappeared from the Internets via doxxcord, cloistered away in these little information tombs.

It's pure evil.

Not in the picture is the U Purple Heart daki cover.

I have no idea if this is the best way to go about it but I usually just stick to the pre-set sword, hand to hand and gun routes and set attacks from least powerful to most powerful. I usually put transformation attacks on the last triangle attack and combo link on the last circle and cross attacks. Never had any trouble with this setup.

>set attacks from least powerful to most powerful
I don't think this is a good way to do it. If it's anything like the later games, every combo attack you use adds to your wait time, so you should set your strongest attacks first in line so you can kill the enemy faster and not have to use as many moves.

>>7853
>every combo attack you use adds to your wait time
Honestly I have no idea if it does. At most, it would only be an issue until you get Neptune Break but if it does it has never caused any issues for what that is worth. 
Pretty sure the strongest ones are not able to be set early though, there are some limitations but I do not remember them off the top of my head.

The most helpful thing at lower levels IIRC is to attack elemental weaknesses even if that means using guns most of the time. It's been a few years since I last played but I seem to remember just setting the newest combo attacks and not thinking about it too hard. If you have effective healing and you're hitting weaknesses you should be able to sustain yourself.

>>8165
Definitely worth doing with Compa but Neptune and IF both hit decently hard with physical or whatever the non weapon attacks are called. Pretty sure their gun attacks are weaker than their physicals.

I do not remember, I have not played that part of Victory II since I finished it in '16, sorry man.

>>8145
I will say I doubt it though, 2010 is not really a hard game, though a few bosses might give you a run for your money. The Clione's are pretty tough but actually having someone get knocked out is not common in my experience. I play on hard since the battles go by quicker.

>>8146
I don't have much JRPG experience but I think the only hard part of Nep 2010 was making sure Neptune doesn't get knocked out for the true ending.

>>8155
Yeah some fights do surprise you when it comes to that. Honestly would have preferred the game to be harder in general rather than getting a surprise hard fight.

>>8349
i hate that everyone's just a-ok with this because the switch eshop has an (in my opinion, unfairly) negative reputation for being flooded with shovelware. i very specifically mention that games i care about get caught in the crossfire and the games these people hate get off with a slap on the wrist and am met with ambivalence at best, or "good/as long as the games i don't like are gone/nothing of value was lost". why are people too stupid to just use the search and filter functions?

I need MORE spinoff games.

>>8348
Same with the PSP, they can pry it from my cold, dead hands.

>>8353
I kind of with Neptunia incorporated platforming elements, something like Daxter. 
As long as they put a little more effort than they did with Neplunker it's going to be fire

>>8352
Do you really?

>>7557
I meant VII
>That would be strange if it was limited to just their HDD. As I said, the whole thing with the goddesses' HDD forms is that they emphasize certain aspects of their personalities that are already there. If you limit Rom and Ram's "growth" to their HDD forms, it creates a disconnect.
I meant that the HDD change would be a reflection of their growth, but I doubt Nep is gonna get any mainline game any time too, Sisters V Sisters was the closest thing to a truly mainline game.

>>7558
>but I doubt Nep is gonna get any mainline game any time too
They're supposed to announce it this year.
