I dunno...it looks interesting but I don't exactly have a ton of faith in Compile Heart.

Compile Heart announces Black Rose Valkyrie for PS4
- Thread starter Zhao_Yun
- Start date
Can't wait for the Medabots Girls Mission-style twist in a few weeks
You know how those "interview" parts will turn out
Fingers crossed.

Wouldn't they just have stuck with the Neptunia/Fairy Fencer F character designer in that case though? I think going with that new designer shows that they're trying to go with a different image for this game. And it's not like even those games got to that point.

You realize this is Compile Heart right?

I do. Just poking fun at the fact that on the cover, it looked like they're breaking the mold and actually make a non-pervy game, but really aren't.

Well it is still a harem-type scenario, can't deny that. And I expect the interview scenes to have at least some kind of innuendo every now and then. But other than that the game's art style doesn't lend itself to extreme pandering, so I think it'll be fine.
But I was wrong about Medabots so who knows ~

Yeah I don't care one way or the other but the people that say it's 'finally a good CH game' are quick to forget two, let's say orange flags : investigations of your teammates and Live2d.

Interesting...
Will keep an eye on it.
Will keep an eye on it.
compile heart saw the demand of more female rapresentation from the west ┐（´ー｀）┌
Because Neptunia and Fairy Fencer are all about molesting heroines, right?
Riiight?
Anyone?
...
......
What exactly about Live2D is an orange flag?
(Yes I'm well aware it's also used to simulate boingy bits)

The screens look promising but what they are saying doesn't but, hopefully it will be good.

Considering CH games have been steadily if slowly getting better over time and that Fairy Fencer F actually had surprisingly good voice acting, characters and story I am quite interested in this game.
I think CH/iF have been putting work in lately and it's starting to show

To be fair, why would someone play a gane they already think is shit? It's like Adam Sandler movies, you can usually tell from the trailer if that sort of thibg is for you or not!
The bolded would be nice. We're close to catching up to Japan with Compile Heart's localizations, they just have Death Under the Labyrinth and Neptune vs. SeHa girls left, so hopefully we get Black Rose in the west this year too.

I really enjoyed Tales of the Abyss' somewhat divisive plot so I'm hyped for that writer. I will keep an eye on this for sure.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
That actually looks... good?
I want to believe.

I am...interested in this?
Judging by some of the reactions, some people are conflicted they are interested in a CH game =P
Even if their games are somewhat formulaic, I guess you need to play at least one to see if you love/hate them
Just that. I mean boingy bits simulator and "investigate signs of treachery" don't fill me with hope that the fanservice haters will really find something worthy here.
And by the way it's just for the sake of discussion, I'm not particularly interested for the time being but that's because it's still very early, don't care about fanservice or not.

Wait to what? How did I miss this piece of info? If the writer of the best written Tales game is on this I'm all in.

Cautiously optimistic. I wonder if the whole traitor system is a riff on DanganRonpa and games of that ilk coming out recently. And if so I have no reason to believe Idea Factory's doing an about-face with more original ideas to begin with. The main benefit here for them is avoiding a Neptunia overdose for their Western PC fanbase, which is good because cash-cropping yourself into a corner won't do them good. Military-style Japanese wargame stories at least get briefing scenes and cool stuff like that.

I think Sandler is shit, yet I don't go into discussions and tell people he molests women in his movies when he announces a new one!

This looks pretty cool but the randomized traitor worries me. I generally don't like this because I feel like it'll really limit character development.
They don't have to play the game, but it's annoying that they have to go into every single CH thread to openly mock them. There are franchises that I straight up hate but you don't see me going into threads to shit on games I know I'm not going to play.

It's kinda difficult to work out the artstyle or battle system from those tiny images, but the random traitor aspect has got my interest. Hopefully it'll be something you can properly address rather than just being all "you think that character is cool? too bad, they're randomly evil this playthrough!"
So it's perfectly fine if I go into every CoD announcement thread and start shit talking the game and audience based on the fact that I didn't like MW1 when I tried it 8 years ago? Because that's basically what every Compile Heart/Neptunia announcement thread turns into.
Exactly.

Exactly.
This can't be stated enough.
Basically this. Aside from disliking the idea of randomizing story elements in and of itself, the concept doesn't sound like it would lend itself well to yielding something with much in the way of actual depth. Seems like a poorly thought out excuse to increase replay value beyond changes in the story tied to choices made by the player.
Haven't played anything by Compile Heart, but probably would've been more interested if not for that addition.

I hope it pulls off this concept better than Lost Dimension did.

Definitely an interesting concept. The scenario writer coming from Tales of the Abyss gives me a little bit of pause, but w/e. I've heard that Compile Heart treats their employees really well compared to other Japanese developers, so if that's true I hope they can really pull it off.
It is probably too early to tell but the way it is described it sounds like even if X character turns out to be a traitor it is either because of your actions, or you can change whether they stay a traitor due to your actions. It might not be randomized, but instead tied to different actions you take. I am sure the "perfect" ending is beating the game with no traitors or something like that.
