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.

Honestly I loved 4GO in all its glitchy glory. I never tried the Canuck RPG but I heard it wasn't bad.

I take it this is the answer you came up with to those random spam posts with shady links that were occasionally being posted here?
This seems to be a problem endemic to altchans as well as free (non-Big Tech) internet forums in general. I've seen them on 8chan moe too. They always get these CP spammers. I don't know if its just a very well-connected network of spammers and pedophiles or if the feds are unironically trying to undermine altchans. Spamming CP is a favored tactic of those trying to get their enemies deplatformed. It happened on frequently on r*ddit back in the day.
I know that running a forum/image board like this that is as free and open as it is and welcoming to anime and loli requires walking a fine line that not everyone is willing to walk, especially in this environment, and I thank the admins of this site for being willing to walk that line for us.

>Uni's derriere is hidden at all times
Speaking of this environment, this game really just feels like the final surrender of Compile Heart to globohomo. Between this and Villion Code being possibly the most pozzed piece of shit I've seen from a Japanese publisher since Forspooken, I think they're done, and I'm pretty much done being invested in Compile Heart's future. Not that they have much of any. I will miss being able to see my

Thank you for clarifying.

Yeah, I'm trying to do what I can to stop CP spammers, but it's not easy since they're not automated bots, but rather real humans, so no matter what countermeasure you put up, they'll find a way around it sooner or later. And the stricter you make the rules, the bigger the possibility of false positives.
These psychos like to label their shit as "loli", probably to make identification harder. And youtu.be works like a link shortener, another trick frequently used by them to circumvent word filters.

And just like that, there goes any chance of LoveR Kiss Endless Memories getting a sequel (or probably any more ports from that series). Dragami have now been presented with clear evidence that "global standards" compliance + releasing on all the cucked platforms at once = more sales, so from a business perspective, why continue to invest in a series like LoveR? This is why Japan is fucked, why Compile Heart is trying like hell to pivot to anti-otaku globalism and why otaku games are dying. Maybe if the retarded Jap otaku hadn't all betrayed real games and anime for gachashit and fake e-whores, there wouldn't be this much of a divide.

It's pretty old now. Excellent manga though.

As for zombies, they're just a template enemy filling in for an antagonist gap. They could have been anything, zombies are just a hip new (old) trend.

Thanks to the collective efforts of Nintendo and Steam, we had to wait an extra year and a half for a real version of this game, but I just got mine a few days ago and am rather enjoying it.
It's fairly different from the previous Compile Heart Vita DRPGs on the Vita. More complex and mechanically involved. Just from exploring the first dungeon, there's more gimmicks and travel options, more resources to manage, and overall the maps so far seem more complicated than the likes of Mary Skelter and Moero Chronicle/Crystal where they were all pretty basic. You can crush walls to find shortcuts and hidden treasure, dig through holes, float over gaps, etc. Combat/party comp-wise, in addition to your typical classes (Digiskins), you've now got SMT-style demon fusing (Gadgetta), weapons having their own attack and support skills attached depending on both the weapon and its rarity value, elements that are not only factored in when attacking enemy weaknesses but also with the users' own elemental compatibilities, armor having skills too, etc. Combat tries to be different from Mary Skelter and Moero as well; you now have an Action point system (EP) where you can take as many actions as EP allows, while magic (Digimagic) is its own separate category independent from AP with fixed use limits per dungeon crawl. In many ways, this feels like the "final form" of Compile Heart dungeon crawlers on the Vita. A very pleasant and welcome surprise. Even its version of the trademark Compile Heart

If you're a software developer, the more your software relies on dependencies, the more likely it gets that one of them will screw over your ability to use Windows 7. All it takes for one of them to depend on a DLL or bit of functionality that isn't in W7, and you suddenly have to ask yourself: do I really want to stick to an old version of this library? Am I up for forking it? Should I rewrite its functionality in my own program?
An even deeper cut is compiler support. You can't use any MSVC version beyond 2019. Your main C and C++ alternatives, Mingw-w64 (GCC) and Clang, I don't know the W7 support statuses of. A compiler I'd like to mess around with for a less mainstream language only supports W7 in a fork maintained by a single Montenegran. Forget libraries: if he gives up or dies, am I up for maintaining a compiler fork?
I do have a spare PC laying around with a couple USB2 ports which I could dual-boot W7 on if the need ever arose (W7's installation disc doesn't support USB3, meaning you can't use a keyboard or mouse on a sufficiently new motherboard without PS/2 ports). I'd really like to support it if I can. It's just old and unsupported enough that you have to be prepared to use outdated libraries and potentially even maintain a compiler fork to keep shipping builds for it, as most of the non-/v/ people who care about avoiding W10/11's cancer jumped ship to Linux long ago.

From what I understand when it comes to making libraries and software compatible with Windows 7 (And even Vista in some circumstances), there's really little to no excuse not to. Because the way W7 (And all versions of Windows since) was "Created" is that it's essentially a "plug-in-play" operating system that is future-proofed for all intents and purposes. Because all you have to do is build a library ONCE, make sure everything goes to that location when looking for the requested APIs, and "It just works". In fact, there's actually more instances of developers intentionally going out of their way to break W7 compatability than it just simply being "too hard and archaic" to accomidate. As I said with TC, all I had to do was drag and a DLL file and the game works entirely fine. With some software and drivers out there, there only has to be a maxiumum change of two lines of code. DirectX 12 libraries exist for W7 but M$ keeps them under lock and key. If you want to see the biggest example of how all this upgrading to BotNet 10 and 11 is entirely manfactured and forced, need look no further than the experiment I conducted over a year ago to get an AI model functioning on Windows 7. You can see the brief saga that started here:

To a developer, that unfortunately still means forking libraries and potentially compilers which pull this shit if the devs don't listen to your complaints.
I'm not saying this to argue against supporting Windows 7, mind you. I'm bringing it up because there's something I want to work on which I'd like to support W7 out of the box, even if it means avoiding libraries whenever possible and potentially using a weird compiler for Windows builds. It's just something you have to do very intentionally, if that makes sense.
>>10323
I mean, I get why people do it. Windows 7 is a pretty comfy operating system, and unfortunately it's only competition is different implementations of a 70s timesharing OS with a graphical environment awkwardly pasted overtop of it (some of which are locked-down phone OSes). That 70s timesharing OS stuck around for a reason and has real advantages, but they aren't advantages which its graphical environments and much of its software nowadays even try to lean into. Actual innovation in the field of OS design is so ridiculously dead that simply riffing off ideas from other 70s/90s OSes is more creative than the slop 99% of OS developers make.

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

New magazine spread + (crudely) AI-translated English version.
Evidently they're trying to bring back the create-a-Processor system from the original Victory, but in a degraded form that only lets you change color.
Part of me wonders if this is in lieu of a Processor equipment system like we used to have. SvS and GMRE did not let you change processors and it's likely that this will be the same, there's just going to be one unified processor set for all characters. This would also mean you can forget about them adding the old processor outfits as DLC let alone anything like Black Sister's Next-Gen Cradle.

I've already made it clear in the other thread what I think of this and I'll just add here how fitting it is that the one to excitedly reveal this information is a braindead zoomer who's probably happy that Compa is going to suck off his favorite gachashit.

For reference, the original Victory create-a-Processor system let you make stuff like pic related (NSFW notice).
I don't know if Compile Heart themselves are disavowing content like this (it certainly seems like they are with how tame even their promotional art is now) or if Sony and Nintendo are more actively policing UGC outside of their own games, but I can only see the more limited creative options as a likely attempt to prevent people from making stuff like this again.

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

<The story-select menu likely defaults to Hacker's Memory because this compilation actually was aimed towards people who played Cyber Sleuth first, at least initially (and the subsequent Switch and PC ports did nothing to change this). 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).

Shame this board died, and shame Nep as a franchise died. Meganep was perfect, and they decided to sit on it with so many spinoffs. I really enjoyed Sisters Vs Sisters for the geimuplay, but the story was lackluster, and disappointing.

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.

https://www.gematsu.com/2025/04/hyperdimension-neptunia-rebirth1-for-switch-launches-this-summer-in-asia-with-english-language-support
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

I gotta wonder how these games are releasing like this, did Nintendo refuse digital but not physical? I'd assume that any game card would need to be authorized by Nintendo, so I gotta wonder where the double standard comes from.

Nintendo Of America vs Nintendo Of Asia (English)/Japan (Source of the Asian version). That's it, it's that simple.

https://www.gematsu.com/2025/11/eastasiasoft-launches-online-store-alongside-american-subsidiary

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.
