Great OP.

Once I stop suffering from money (or they go in a sale, whatever happens first) I'm picking up V-II and the Blanc game.

Also, Nepgear is best Nep.

All the characters in the zombie game look good, though Tamsoft looks like a bit of a mess. Upgrade her with the cowboy hat for maximum effect.

So she's a Oneechanbara reference?

Man, it sucks that Marvy is absent in a Senran Kagura ripoff.

Looks like IFI is releasing its first bit of official merch. It's about time. Why the heck isn't this series merchandised more?

They should sell prints of the art found on their twitter :v:

Well, twelve bucks for V-2 was an offer I couldn't let pass and so, now I'm the proud owner of it.

Before diving into it, are the DLC characters worthwhile? Do they just pop like in the rebirth games or do they have an actual plotline this time?

Honestly, Chika, Mina, and Kei don't really have much place in later stories. The game needed to give them each a Histoire for plot reasons, but unlike Histoire, they're exceptionally boring. Histoire basically keeps Neptune (and sometimes Nepgear) in check. The other goddesses aren't completely slackers, so in later games, their entire purposes would be to give the girls thumbs-ups and say "Yup. You're doing your job!" It's best that they took them out while still referencing them from time to time. I liked Kei.

I disagree. Chika in particular was an excellent character for Vert to interact, allowing her to be more than the sister obsessive girl she is from Victory onwards. Same with Mina, she being a sort of a mother figure for the twins did wonders for the sisters' dynamics. Kei is the only one that was kind of unnecessary due her character being too similar to Noire's thus failing to offer the contrast Chika and Mina had with their CPUs

Plus

10% discount at launch (The game alone is 40% at launch)

If I actually used my PC to play games I would be really mad right now by buying the game in PS4 just last week.

IIRC the Next forms in V-II are supposed to be the PS4, XBone and Wii U additions for Noire, Vert and Blanc.

So, what is Umio's worth?

I'm still on the early stages of the game (I've just met big Nep) and Umio is absurdly weak. His attacks barely scratch random mooks and spamming his SP attacks isn't really viable in the long term.

Does Umio suck or am I missing something? Nepgia in comparison is a reliable attacker and has good SP attacks.

You know, I was pleasently surprised at the english VA in V-II. Especially regarding to big Nep, Melissa Fahn managed a perfect middle point between Neptune's regular voice and Purple Heart's to do Big Nep's voice. The Golden Third also have great voices and their introduction was pretty drat nice, I'd wish their names were different. *-Sha sounds kind of generic for my liking.

Vert's new voice will require some time to get used to. Is a one time deal I hope.

quote:

The Tamsoft-developed action RPG sees the goddesses chosen to participate in a beta test for Four Goddesses Online. The goddesses go on a journey to save the world from the threat of the demon king, to meet their other selves, to play together and make friends, and to get their little sisters.

A new character named Bouquet (voiced by Aya Uchida) will also appear. She is an artificial intelligence-equipped NPC and guardian spirit who gives advice to adventurers in various locations. Bouquet was born from an interview in Dengeki PlayStation with Vert voice actress Rina Sato, though that doesn’t mean she’s someone’s little sister.

Poor Vert, so close and so far.

Plutia, Peashy, IF, Compa, Tamsoft, Arfoire and Warechu confirmed to be NPCs on Four Goddesses Online

IF (CV: Kana Ueda): She gathers items as an adventurer and runs a shop as her main gig. She considers working in the game as a way to relax.


Compa (CV: Kana Sakai): She runs a shop together with IF in Four Goddesses Online. Her in-game job class id Doctor.


Plutia (CV: Kana Hanazawa), Peashy (CV: Aoi Yuki): The two work together at an accessory shop in Four Goddesses Online. If you purchase any accessories sold from Plutia and Peashy’s store, it’ll change your character’s appearances. All party members can equip accessories, and you can even purchase some series recurring costumes.


Uzume Tennouboshi (CV: Mariko Honda): She plays solo for the purpose of self-improvement.


Tamsoft (CV: Ami Koshimizu): She won an early-access privilege for Four Goddesses Online from a festival lottery. She works as a blacksmith in the game, and will enhance your weapons and equipment.


Arfoire (CV: Chiaki Takahashi): She’s been addicted to Four Goddesses Online and has been growing eggplants as a gardener.


Warechu (CV: Niko): An adventurer. Since the game doesn’t offer a mouse race, this time we’ll see him appear as a human.
