So, the idea is that we work on Re;Birth 2 translation in preparation of the shit fest that will be Re;Birth 3 when it get's released on PC.
Since there isn't a lot of stuff that are outright bad in Re;Birth 2, retranslating it should be relatively easy compared to if we ever are going to attempt to retranslate Re;Birth 3.
Mostly it's just Neptunes dialog that's need to be fixed in Re;Birth 2 and to a lesser extent RAMs.

I may have said this already, but the most charitable interpretation I can give of this is that some investor told Marvelous they needed to "diversify their portfolio" since they've been making almost nothing but gay farmslop since the turn of the decade, with Daemon X Machina being one of the few exceptions, and evidently it's not doing well. Shame, I like mecha and was mildly interested in the first game. So they dug back in their vault and realized they were sitting on this series that used to be rather popular, but can't release it on the popular storefronts without censorship and are too lazy to push an uncensored version on PC first ala TurretGirls. Ditto for GUST, who have been an Atelier machine since Ryza. For Compile Heart, though, the new Neptunia mainline is absolutely an act of desperation after Tominaga's strategy of trying to get the western market with gimmicky indie-tier slop failed. As for Aquaplus, their main cash cow Underwater Ray Romano is officially ending with this next game, so they're probably looking for something they can pivot to in the meantime.

Nice. Not to brag, but I have the special Horny Trinity edition which includes all three Gal*Gun games. I say "not to brag" because it costed me a fuckton on Ebay, almost $500. At release, it was only sold through special retailers, but it was a killer deal for the retail price; at $120, you got all three games plus all the bonus LE apparel. I missed the boat, unfortunately, because Gal*Gun didn't hit my radar until much later. But I just couldn't NOT have those cute Kurona and Ekoro plushies when I found out about them...

My condolences for getting the Ghostlight-cucked version. Not only do they not respect the content of the games they port, their PC ports are absolute dogshit. I just bought Mary Skelter 2 off GOG since it was on sale dirt cheap and it honest-to-God runs worse than the Switch version, on way better hardware, and this is after FIVE patches. It takes a special kind of incompetence to manage that.

>Even though the way Share Energy works in VII was mostly dictated by Uzume's subconscious, the following CPUs need to sustain themselves doesn't have to be all that big
The main concern is Shift Periods. If her following begins to wane when one occurs, a new goddess will appear to replace her. Shift Periods are often accompanied by repute-damaging rumors and other events that encourage the shifting of faith towards a new goddess. They are the culmination of the fickleness of the masses. As you saw in VII, the CPUs' failure to deal with the Shift Period resulted in the Gold Third gaining control of Gamindustri. Granted, Kurome's intervention also had a large part in it, but there's speculation that a more "natural" Shift Period occurred in the new mainline resulting in these new goddesses gaining control and forcing the main four into backline roles. And I hate it, I would never answer to anyone other than White Heart. Fuck Rouge/Red Heart for replacing her and fuck Compile Heart for even entertaining the idea.

Ooh... now I get what you were you trying to say now. The fate of a CPU is tragic indeed.
>spoiler (1/3)
You don't have to. As far as I know, the old Goddesses basically rule over a republic within their nations. Even if the new mainline there are sub-sovereign pieces of landmass that the old guard rule over. But it still sucks that their role was greatly reduces and given to the new cast instead of writers coming up with a clever way to make them represent the newer generation of the consoles because they're not just personified consoles but also personified broad representations of game company and as far as I know (sarcasm) no game company has come to replace any of the main four shown in the game.

I guess emulation is the way to go then. I want to say it ran decently but I probably never got further than the ship battle tutorial on pc if I even got there.
I got it over a decade ago now and I still trusted I was getting a mostly accurate experience from localised games back then. I dare say Mugen Souls, at least on the PS3, was one of my first "weeb" games.

I didn't get that, only Lowee stands out as a possible example since it's now the "old" capital with Sweenia built as a new city. Lastation and Leanbox have been fully taken over by the new CPUs with no indication that Noire or Vert have had any special administrative zones carved out for them, just that they kinda hang around in the background in a pseudo-advisor role.
>You could help her rule over the retro republic and, should it ever disappear, you'll both retire and live a peaceful life until the end of time.
Ruling over a rump state with reduced influence sounds dismal. I want Blanc to be the best goddess she could be. I want her to be my goddess forever. Hell, I want her to defeat her rivals and become the True Goddess of Gamindustri. Succumbing to a Shift Period and steadily being phased out is not what I wanted for her at all. It's like being told she's not good enough, and I know all too well how that makes Blanc feel.
>I hope that Nep Unlimited at the very least brings the combat to an acceptable level.
No matter how much they polish the actionshit, I'll never stop demanding the turn-based back. Not only is it more comfortable for me, it's better for Blanc, too. Action-based systems with hitstun almost always disadvantage slow, strong and durable characters like her because the more attacks you can throw out, the more you can stop your target from attacking. This means Blanc's durability isn't even an asset because she can't attack fast enough to prevent enemies from attacking her. Hell, I was even told (by Blancbro who did play SvS and GMRE) that the canceling system doesn't even work for Blanc because most of her attacks are so slow that they actually cancel BEFORE they can complete. It's absolutely retarded, and it means Neptunia Unlimited is really going to annoy me for using Blanc over a faster character. Characters like Blanc really appreciate a turn-based system to be able to shine.

>I got it over a decade ago now and I still trusted I was getting a mostly accurate experience from localised games back then
There was a big-ass controversy over NISA's censorship back then. They didn't just remove the minigame, they removed every CG related to it, which amounted to over 100 CGs. That's absolutely insane. They justified it by saying the game would have gotten an AO-rating if they didn't (same excuse Fatlus USA used to censor Dungeon Travelers 2, by the way). But then Ghostlight ported it to PC (which doesn't need ratings) and kept the censorship, and there was evidence they indeed had access to an uncensored version, so they went out of their way just like NISA did. And then Eastasiasoft finally proved them all liars by releasing the games completely uncensored with M-rating on the bing bing wahoo tablet. I sincerely hope Ghostlight never touches a Compile Heart game again, they are among the worst companies in the business.

Gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for here will soon be here. All of you have been waiting for this moment. ...All of you that are still here, at least. It's been over 10 years. The teaser shows several new goddesses, whose designs seem to indicate they are the reps for new-gen consoles. Surprising considering VII made the eighth gen new forms for the main four in the form of the NEXT forms.
For those of you that turned your back on Neptunia over the spinoff hell, what would Compile Heart have to do here to win you back? Just make another solid turn-based JRPG? Outfits/character customization options (so you can doll up your waifu)? A plot tackling issues plaguing the game industry in the modern day like GaaS, censorship, etc.? Fanservice? Or do you believe Compile Heart are beyond redemption at this point?
Honestly, the situation in the industry has become so dire, not just for Compile Heart, but for

Since Idea Factory/Compile Heart games always had a strong presence on the Vita back in the day, figured I'd make a thread for it. I'm in the process of updating the 8chan Vita chart, and if you have any recommendations you can write for the games not currently on it, I'd appreciate it.
If you feel that games like Hyperdevotion Noire, Producing Perfection, Action U Unleashed, Blanc v. Zombies, Superdimension Neptune vs Sega Hard Girls,  or any other Idea Factory/Compile Heart game on the Vita (or Vita game in general) are worth recommending, say something about it and I'll put it in.

my second ps vita came in! thankfully, it's in decent condition. it's definitely preferable to my old one, that one looks like someone chewed on it...
it's the model 2000 this time, i already don't really care about oled vs lcd, and it doesn't help that the screen on the 1000 model was starting to burn out and yellow in places (though as an aside, playing games on the vita did make me appreciate oled a bit more; it easily has the best looking version of jet set radio, and it wouldn't surprise me if games like mary skelter were made with the screen in mind, i noticed it likes to contrast neons with blacks a lot).
speaking of, i got it in black + pink, because it reminded me of mary skelter, though i remember i was going back and forth on looking for one in white or white + blue, my vita case is miku-themed, so it would've fit better...
transferring the memory card over was also easier than i would've thought, though i think i have to reinstall homebrew on the 2000, none of the stuff i homebrew'd onto the memory card works. i'm hoping that's not too strenuous of a process.
i'm planning on just selling off the model 1000 (though i feel kind of bad, essentially selling off thoroughly used goods for someone else to deal with), but i need the money. i'm hoping i can get project diva and katamari after.
i'm also thinking about giving re;birth 1 and 2 another shot. i originally got into playstation partially for neptunia, but ended up feeling lukewarm towards re;birth 1, and the

This game's history is a bit of a mess, but to break it down.....
<Cyber Sleuth releases on the Vita in Japan.
<Sony prematurely brushes the Vita off as a dead system in the west, causing Cyber Sleuth to be ported to the PS4 when it got localized (there was still a Vita localization, but it was digital-only). For a time, this PS4 port would be exclusive outside of Japan.
<Hacker's Memory is released in Japan for the PS4 and Vita, with Cyber Sleuth included as a compilation. With this, Japan gets the PS4 version of Cyber Sleuth for the first time, and players of the original Vita Cyber Sleuth could use cloud saving to transfer their old data (and the whole compilation comes off being geared towards those veteran players as a result).

posted this in the other thread, but wanted to talk more about it here.
one of the reasons i was procrastinating so hard on neptunia was just that i only had 1 and 2 digitally, and only having games digitally never sits right with me.
for some reason, i was under the impression these games were difficult to get physically; i don't know where i got that idea from, if anything, everything i have here was far cheaper than i was expecting...
in addition to the main games, i also got action u (i feel like the vita's kind of perfect for simple hack-and-slash games, and i remember being told that this one's basically "senran but with neps") and sega hard girls (this one feels like mandatory viewing as a maybe former huge sega fan). i really do not care about the other spinoffs, though.

Compile Heart and IFI are trying Eastasiasoft for Asia-English versions of the canceled Neptunia Re;Birth Switch ports. Personally, I've already bought them on PC (GOG) and now see no reason to double-dip here and support Nintendo's persecution of Japanese expression. The LE goods aren't enticing, either. Even if this allows the ports to succeed, it's only a short-term victory because Compile Heart are still being incentivized against making content that would force them to do workarounds to sell like this, and that's as long as the workaround even works; Nintendo could easily just update their Asia guidelines and start shooting these down, too. They've shown they're capable of it, going out of their way to persecute Japanese cultural expressions for no reason other than that they can, acting as a tool of BlackRock and globohomo writ large to undermine and destroy alternatives to the "modern audience" goyslop future they have in mind. Denying these games for "brand risk" reasons yet platforming shit like Cyberpunk 2077 and Assassin's Creed Shadows which is the single most controversial game in Japan in recent memory for violating several

Eastasiasoft just announced they're opening their own online storefront as well as an American publishing branch. They may start selling these games through their American branch to make them easier to purchase since they don't have to go through PlayAsia. Additionally, they're teasing the idea of selling physical PC games, which may be how they intend to distribute an uncensored version of Tokyo Clanpool since that game got screwed over by both Steam and GOG. At the least, they'll probably host the uncensor patch they've been holding onto through this storefront.

Nintendo is pushing significantly different publishing standards for Japanese/Asian SKUs and global SKUs. The Neptunia Re;Birth games were cleared for a Japanese/Asian release but not for a release in the west. This game, Brave X Junction (second pic related), was also similarly release in the Japanese eshop but denied a western release with the reasoning laid out by the publisher as a semi-joke comic. This game released globally without issues on both Steam and Playstation (it's rated 7+ in Europe); only Nintendo is this restrictive with this reasoning. They've gone as far as to

Now they're releasing Hyperdevotion Noire. Worth noting that this one wasn't "officially" and directly blocked from a western release like the Re;Births were. Idea Factory International likely just saw how the Re;Births and Neptunia Riders fared and decided it wasn't worth trying. Which brings the question of just how many games there are like this, that weren't ACTUALLY blocked, but the publisher saw how hopeless the situation was and decided not to bother. Like the recent Chaos;Head Love Chu Chu Double Pack released last month which has yet to show any sign of being picked up for a western release despite the main Chaos;Head games being on Switch.

Turns out the speculation about them starting their own store to sell PC physicals was true. Tokyo Clanpool is now being distributed through a special edition USB stick, completely uncensored, in a collector's box limited to 1000 copies.
Lo behold, the extent one must go to release a Vita game in 2020+6.

https://shop.eastasiasoft.com/products/tokyo-clanpool-limited-edition-pc?variant=47988618330352

If you already bought the GOG version, they now offer an uncensor patch for that on their site as well.

https://www.eastasiasoft.com/tc/TokyoClanpool_PC_Patch.zip

I must say, though this took long enough to come to fruition, I respect Joshua French and Eastasiasoft's dedication here. It would've been easy to just leave this at the GOG patch, but they went the extra mile. And maybe, just maybe, this may be the way forward since every digital storefront is so up their own fucking asses now.

There's been a possible node failure with the site, posting here via mod console to see if that rezzes the board.

EDIT
And it did. Of course until /sudo/ adjusts the situation positively site-wide, I'll have to make posts in any thread that needs to be accessed probably via the console. So just list what threads you want to use here if this keeps up.

Also Ram and Rom to me is more "Look at these adorable little sisters, don't you want them to squeeze you while you pat their heads?". Which is what I felt the goal was all along: They're the ones that you adopt if you're all the way into Blanc. That's why it's way different if you compare Nep and Nepgear.

>I am a last generation weeb, so I basically got onto the scene right before mainstream culture raped everything in the 2010s.
between you, me, and the blancfag, i think this describes a lot of us
>Look, it's not like I don't find myself attracted to any loli characters (...) I however, do not find myself attracted to loli characters like Rin Kokonoe, or Ram in her normal form. I've always had a hard time understanding physical attraction to these characters and rather come to the conclusion that most "antis" as twitterfags would say
to me, it just seems like you're only attracted to some or certain lolis, probably more attracted to their personalities or because of a personal attachment you have with them, which is understandable; that is the partially the point of having characters in a story, they're meant to get you to care about the story. feeling romantically or even sexually attracted to one, at least to me, means that the character is just really well-made, either from a writing standpoint or a design standpoint, or both.
there're even different subcategories of loli, if you want to try and pinpoint a spot where the physical attraction just stops for you. ram and rom would probaby fall somewhere around heidi complex i think
it's worth noting that "lolicon"--having a lolita complex in general--isn't exclusively a sexual thing, it's more than fair if someone finds a loli cute purely in a daughter or a little sister kind of way, i'd still say that's lolicon. i guess it bothers me when people single out sexual or romantic desire specifically as being lesser or problematic somehow.
to explain the general physical attraction, at least with me, i just generally find "cute" more appealing or arousing than "sexy". i just like smaller body types, and all the things that would entail, like flat chests, small/flat butt, generally...i guess "cuter" proportions, i don't know how to explain it in a very satisfying way. i just find "cute" appeal more attractive.
i like the idea of being physically intimate with a girl that's shorter than me, like cuddling her while nuzzling my chin on top of her head, or teasing her a little for being small, but ultimately reassuring her that that's what i like about her and making her feel more confident in herself, or picking her up and carrying her around...
i also like the physical comedy it entails in a lot of series. as much as i get onto other people for finding the same three memes funny, the joke that's in every series with a legal loli where they get confused for being a kid and the comedy that comes from that always makes me happy, i just find it all really cute.
there was a period in my preteens where i thought i was entirely asexual, since i was vehemently unattracted to most women/girls around me, and the thought of sex or starting a family actually really grossed me out, but this also coincided with me beginning to watch a lot more anime and playing more games, and after watching enough stuff and incidentally finding out about hentai, i eventually came to the conclusion that it was simply just the fact that i wasn't attracted to women/girls who tried too hard to be "mature" or "sexy", and that i favored "cute" far more. a lot of anime and games helped me figure myself out and what i wanted more, as odd as that may sound. now that i'm older and still like this, i'm wondering if it's just my desires for a "girlfriend" figure and a "daughter" figure manifesting as this, apparently it's common for people who over-emphasize romance and obsess over finding a partner to imagine their partner fulfilling every social role, which causes problems, but psycho-analysis is gay and dumb so ignore literally all of this
i don't know how common this is with other lolicons, i imagine if you ask around you'll get a whole slew of different answers because everyone's different (i've met people who're into loli characters but were specifically only attracted to curvier women irl and found smaller women unattractive, i've also run into people online who...to avoid being explicit, their desires were unfortunately not limited to fiction, and i think everyone here has seen at least one story of someone who was vehemently anti-loli or anti-anime in general, but ended up being a closet predator).
i don't know if this was a very satisfying answer, i think it's just simple for most people, a fetish is just a fetish.
also, i too am specifically unattracted to characters like rin kokonoe, but that's just specifically because i find being bratty to the point of being outright cunty to be not very cute. a kid trying way too hard to act like an adult somewhat flies in the face of what i find "cute", i'm reminded that's why i've historically not been attracted to a lot of girls when i was younger

>i don't understood why people phrase this as if it's impossible to feel this way while also being romantically or sexually attracted to the archetype, i feel like you could theoretically find a girl cute in a little sister way and still be attracted to them
Oh I didn't mean it that way. That is a classic otaku trope as well, the little sister type who may be a little more but needs to rely on you either way. (Also my IP changed again thanks lightning storm)

We're going to need a new thread. Posting limit here is 700 posts before a thread locks.
Someone on the other /nepgen/ removed the paragraph about this place from the newest OP. That wouldn't have been one of you, would it? 

Also, I can confirm that the graphical glitches in Fairy Fencer F's PC version are NOT limited to 4K resolution as I just saw them playing on my ROG Ally (max 1080p). It seems to just be a problem with the port in general. I hear it was way more buggy at launch. Compa acts like she just can't code for anyone that ISN'T Slagstation and Noire the Whoire because the PS versions seem to consistently be the most stable versions of their games. Is it incompetence, is it favoritism, or is it both? Hmm...

>besides, i don't think gachafags usually do anything that isn't related to their gacha. the amount of fucking times i've tried to get blue archive/genshit/zzzfags to play or watch literally anything else only for them to write it off...
And frustratingly, it's not just a western weeb thing. The sales numbers in Japan support this. A decade ago, Japan bought and supported games in much higher numbers than they do now. Otaku and ecchi games on the Vita sold tens of thousands of copies in Japan alone. Now? They barely sell 5k. Famitsu numbers get more and more depressing each year. Anything that isn't AAA or Nintendo just does extremely poorly there now, regardless of quality. Where did all the audience go? What's the difference between then and now? Gacha becoming popular. The Japanese have become hopelessly addicted to their smartphones, and that commands all of their attention now to the point if it isn't on a phone, 90% of them don't care any more. The Sony/Nintendo censorship only explains things to a point. Nintendo's Switch now has an install base there dwarfing what the PS4 and Vita had even in their prime, and yet the otaku games that released on it (even before Nintendo became Sony 2.0) sold way worse than they did on the Vita or even the PS3/4. In fact, you can argue that just about everything wrong with Japanese games and anime today is downstream of gachashit devouring the domestic market, forcing the industry to turn its gaze westward and thus be subject to "global standards" and the judgement of Twittards and Covid weebs. 2020 was the tipping point, not just for Compile Heart games becoming lame, but Japanese games in general. And thus gacha took over the niches Japanese games used to fill, leaving us with our situation today where your choices are basically either pozzed/censored slop or mobile gambling skinner boxes. I hate this industry now and wish only death upon it. Here in the west, I open up Fediverse timelines and it's literally 50% gacha discussion or more. These people routinely complain about censorship and how cucked Japanese games have become, and how gacha is the only thing that caters to them now, yet almost NONE of them have even mentioned Tokyo Clanpool or LoveR Kiss Endless Memories, two uncucked Japanese games that just released recently, or even more indie stuff like Majogami or Sakuna. It's ALL gacha. Nigger, you have no right to complain about how lame Japanese publishers have become when the few that do go above and beyond to keep catering to you in spite of everything trying to stop them are met with barely any support for it.

>but gamers liked Phil Spencer
I don't know about that. He may have inherited most of the issues caused by his predecessors, but he didn't do much to resolve them in any way. He was also kinda of a lolcow. How delusional do you have to be to think you can just BUY OUT Nintendo with your half-dead enterprise? Nintendo were fucking whipping your dead console like a nigger on a cotton farm and you think you have any leverage over them? Of course, I only expect things to get worse under Ms. Pajeeta, but that does not retroactively absolve Phil of being a shitty CEO. Xbox has been a joke for generations now and poor leadership and decisions has much to do with it.

So, I think something this place could be missing is a thread for general Nep News and topics. I saw this today and figured this could be a good way to get things started.
What do you all think of the pre-order news for Re:Birth 3 on the Vita?

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.

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.

>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.

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.
