Yeah IFI has been stepping up. Hope they don't screw up the limited edition...again...
No additional info? How much does this one change? Same deal as Rebirth1, Victory's battle system directly? It's a damn fine battle system, but part of what was cool in the original games is the battle system got 10x better each release.
Hopefully "early" doesn't mean "july"

We are thrilled to announce that Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation, the second installment in the fan-favorite RPG Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth series, will be released on the PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system in early 2015. The physical and digital versions will be available in both North American and European markets!

Loved mk2 to death, so I will most certainly be going in on this.
Hopefully there will not be another LE debacle.

Wow, that's fast.
Having Victory's battle system sounds great.
Hopefully they'll get the whole CE mess figured out.

mk2 is what made me like the series, I'll be glad to play this on the Vita I will soon have since that it quite clearly the JRPG machine.
I will have the CE/LE this time!

Best news. Always predicted this was coming though. DanganRonpa: Another Episode from NISA and Corpse Party: Blood Drive from XSEED next!
Really, though, I am pleased with this news. Can't wait for my copy of Re;birth 1 to arrive!
Oh, and fantastic news about physical for Europe. Means I can get the DLC this time (my copy is imported from the USA, I'm in Europe).

You can have 4 members in your battle party.

So the first game on the Vita is good? Thinking about jumping in, but everytime I ask if the game is good I get no responses.
PP isn't very good, I don't recommend it. Not much content and it's just for the most hardcore fans.

This one is already translated though (pretty much); they'll have more work to do with Noire & U.
I'm guessing they've come to some kind of arrangement with NISA to use their translation, though, much like TK did regarding the Atelier games.

My Vita's soul is alive and burning with the power of ANIME
lol not PP, I mean the first Neptunia game (the recent release is a remake of the first game right? I get confused with all their titles haha) I haven't played a Neptunia game before so I don't really know what to expect besides Moe wars

They re-translated and voice acted rebirth 1, might do the same here.
Since IFI is censoring too (monster monpiece has rather arbitrary NISA style censorship that really doesn't make the game any less lewd) I really see no benefit to gamers for them localizing themselves...especially since they're so amature at distribution.
So Idea Factory is releasing this all themselves? Well, hope they handle the LE better this time.

Good to know we're getting the second game.

I have not played it, but I've only heard positive things about ReBirth 1.
not gonna comment on the other part, but IFI has done a wonderful job at localizations.
Now only if they had the gameplay to back it up.....

Victory plays fine. IFI's localization is at best as good as NISA's from what I've seen. NISA has had great localization across the board, so that's not really a plus for them switching to in-house.

sweet, physical releases are always appreciated.
SerTapTap

I wasn't saying IFI's localization has been bad, but at the very, very best we can basically expect IFI to be as good as NISA but with significantly less resources/knowledge for limited edition distributions. That's pretty lame and I'm not sure why they're bothering unless it's significantly cheaper for them.

I don't really see the point though. Re;birth 1 was pretty much a new script; Re;birth 2 is almost exactly the same script with just a few characters changed here and there.

"Active Animation System" sure sounds like the all 2D animated voice scenes that Victory had, rather than the awkward 3D models Mk2 originally used. Remake system sounds good.
Hope their DLC is as generous as ReBirth1's, $1 for DLC characters and very little DLC overall is much nicer than the mess of the original games' DLC.
Ah--I don't know much about how the original JP releases were changed, so I wasn't really sure why they changed Nep 1, I guess that'd be why. Still waiting on my copy, should arrive today.

Did they ever come out and say anything after the fact? It seems like they'd have some sort of apology.
Where's the physical version of Re;Birth 1(for EU)? And who's going to release the physical version in Europe?(IFI? NISA?) o.o

I'm not sure if IFI wants to go down that road.
XSEED is still licking their post-Akiba wounds.
Unlike Monster Monpiece where the rubbing minigames were optional (although fairly critical for strengthening your cards), it's a necessity in Moero. It's also on another echelon of lewd.
Echelon of Lewd would be a great band name
NISA would charge $3 each and spread it all out over 2 months, good riddance
