They're so behind Neptunia games, even if they're doing it faster. There are another two Rebirth games and one spinoff before VII comes.

So Senran and this for me. I don't usually visit hometown in Spring but whatever *w*.

Spring is the actual PS4 launch, the Japanese one earlier in the year was just a practice.

All of them by IFI right? NISA should pick this up then.

What about Neptune U?
IFI took control of all future Neptunia games.
That's the spinoff that's missing, forgot to list Noire RPG. There are two Rebirth and two spinoffs coming before VII.
Seems possible, although I'd only say in December if at all. I mean, they have ReBirth 2 slated for January and Noire for February, and they'll probably have ReBirth 3 and U out by late summer if they keep up the pace.
A couple of people scanned some of the pictures in the latest articles that Gematsu mentionned. You can see some screenshots of gameplay(3rd image). Seems more or less similar but refined.
EDITED:Oops apparently scans are off limit, sorry about that.
Some translations as well:
You can see one of the formation skills in the third picture requires a triangular positioning.
Oh and the main site is out.

Nothing new except for the story section.

Highlights from the recent website updates:
Alter-Nep needs to be the new lead heroine of the franchise. Just saying.
Feeling pretty positive towards Uzume as well. I'm hoping her HDD form is suitably fiery and aweso--
--welp. Mixed feelings towards Orange Heart, though her design's fairly respectable as far as HDDs go.
And some other screens. Game's looking pretty cheerful so far. Can't wait for the Conquest VII ending.
They know the players play their games for the little girls, so why would they care about that.

Uzume is voiced by Honda Mariko, so I'll have no choice but to get this game and complete it despite my issues with Victory (that I fully expect to return in full force here). RIP
Looks good, will wait for Rebirth version.

I don't get this series at all... but I kinda want to.

Yeah, i was expecting something more badass-y from her transformation. I can see why they're going for more girly approach though, comedy material and all. Now to wait for her second form...
DangerMouse
Member
Yeah, based on her cool regular look with the red hair and action-y shot I would have expected something more badass-y too.
Uzume's 3D model is cool.
I don't know a lot about the series but going by the screens in this thread those girls definitely are not "little".
Cool to see some more news.
Well someone sure is a negative Nancy. What'd she do?
The ground seems eh but the building and background textures seem fine?
The website profile mention she's actually a really girly girl but due to the circumstances she's in, has had to harden up to face them. I'm guessing the CPU form is representing her true personality like for the rest of the characters.

More website updates, the highlight being the art for the other main CPUs:
Also there're some unsurprising details up about the combo system, as well as some new stuff about the OP theme by nao (Relativity VISION).
Incidentally, the Re;Birth 3 website was updated today to confirm the inclusion of a whole bunch of Makers, including 5pb (which is great news) and RED (which is eh).
edit: oh yeah, release date is 23 April. Not sure if that's been posted already.
All glory to Lowee. There're some scans floating around showing the new HDD art for the CPUs, and Blanc's looks superb. The scans also confirm that parties = 4 members.
Noire sucks.
Not a fan of Vert, but you know who really sucks? Noire.

Website updated with HDD forms for the main CPUs:
looks pretty good sucks.
Nothing to see here, move along.
Blanc looks unusually dynamic, and ready to claim her rightful place as the era's true goddess.
Noire
Vert continues to prove that less is less.

New screenshots
Looks fine i guess.

There's a couple new articles on some of the new company mascots/characters featured+the Ending/Credits music. I think they're mostly villains? Anyway:

http://www.siliconera.com/2015/01/2...-victory-ii-introduces-new-parody-characters/
It's all around really humorous. Although I wonder, did CH actually cooperate/get approval from these companies like they did with previous ones, or is it just a "Haha take that!" from them considering they don't explicitly say their names? I'm assuming the latter.

A large website update this week, with Gold Third being added, along with information about the 4 nations and the ED theme by Ayane.
C-sha. I’d like to be Jill Sandwiched by her.
K-sha. Probably my favourite design from the group.
B-sha. RIP Gust. Long live Gust.
S-sha. Bias aside, probably the best design of the group.
Check the articles in HGH's post above for more info about them.

More Gold Third on the website this week.
Plus some details about the battle system and the LE, which includes the soundtrack and a drama CD:
Also there're some scans out for the main goddesses' Next forms. Neptune's has been known for a while and still looks pretty good. Vert's is her typical trashy awfulness. Noire'ssucks is meh. Blanc's would be awesome if it wasn't for that freakin' hat. I know what they were going for, but damn.

That's nice for Neptunia fans but I'm honestly amazed at the legs that this series has.
Its a game about Waifu's based on gaming pop culture, Kinda hard to go wrong with that in Japan. Doesn't hurt that the games mechanics and visuals are decent aswell.

This week on the website, the CPUs' Next forms are up. There's also some more details about the gameplay and setting.
Neptune's is as expected, and still looks pretty decent.
Noire sucks
slightly less than usual.
dat hat. Sincerely hoping there's a <none> option for Blanc's head processor part.
Vert keeping it classy (as usual). And having the worst design (as usual).
So apparently VII has some promotion running where it's partially playable in some stores right now (think of that one Smash Bros. promotion pre-release).
According to some Japanese site/Twitter,
I kinda expected that.
Thanks to some nice translators elsewhere:
There was also some footage of the NEXT transformations. They're pretty neat.
EDIT: More people are putting up impressions of the demo. Someone was kind enough to translate them into a pastebin. Spoilers beware though.
Perhaps I'm just going crazy but this is looking kinda good. I mean, the series is an acquired taste already but still.

B-Sha's skills are:
- Choukakin Senshi Bandam (Ultraexpensive Paid DLC Suit Bandam)
- Tsuika Youso da (Additional contents!)
- Unlock da (Unlock contents!)
and her special move
- KAKKIIIN!! (PAID DLC!!)

Blanc looks so goddamn awesome midway through her transformation without the hat. This hat is an eyesore. This hat. This hat. This hat. This hat. This hat. This hat. This hat. This hat. This hat. This hat. This hat. This hat.
It's the power of PS4. Seriously though, at this rate the game'll end up being a system seller for me. Either this or SK Estival Versus

Idea/Compile actually making 3+ jRPGs for PS4, because they already announced Fairy Fencer Prequel for PS4 (+neptunia ps4 + omega quintet ps4 +proably 1 more title)
thats a lot
thats a lot
Neptune VII = Neptune Victory-II
Technically there's 10, including those unreleased and the remakes and spinoffs, but this is the 4th mainline game. VII in this case stands for V-II or Victory II, as the previous game was called Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory.
