The next Neptunia game is rated CERO B in Japan, it will be one of the few Neptunia games with that age rating, the last Neptunia game that was rated CERO B was Neptunia Virtual Stars originally released in 2020.Source: https://store.playstation.com/ja-jp/product/JP0031-CUSA58027_00-NEPTUNEXMAINGAME
Neptunia games are kusoge.

thats good or bad
>>739096557its for babies
>>739096557It depends on who you ask, one one hand if one is like ''we have to respect the age ratings'' then it means that younger people can play it, and indeed, I don't have a problem if someone who is 12 or 13 plays most Neptunia games at least, they aren't inappropriate enough compared to something like Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus, Gal*Gun 2 and Death end re;Quest...indeed, those games for the most part have higher age ratings than most Neptunia games not just in Japan but also the rest of the world. On the other hand, the lower age rating really says that the game is toned down compared to previous games, if the censored designs weren't enough, the B rating really says ''this game is less suggestive or lewd compared to previous games'', and a lot of people aren't going to like that.
>>739096240Game for pedos. Kill all pedos.
>>739096765Come on, it's only rated 12+.
>>739096240Compile Heart have been dead ever since Kochiwa left. Tominaga turned the company from an otaku joint into a global standards slop machine. A decade ago they said they'd never release a game in the west if it had to be censored; now they do the complete opposite where they make games exclusively with the idea of selling them to mindraped westerners with Japanese otakus as a secondary concern at best. The company that gave you Mary Skelter, Fairy Fencer, Genkai Tokki and Neptunia VII is no more. They'll never recapture the sovl of the old games and this lame attempt at a "mainline" which is just a reskinned SvS/GMRE is proof.
>>739096557The new designs look like a CCP censor job. Bad, obviously. Every single Neptunia game aside from the first and its remake (and Virtual Stars, but we don't talk about that one) is CERO C or D. Compile Heart used to primarily make CERO C or D games. Now games with those ratings are becoming rare from them and when it does happen it's for gore/violence and not fanservice now.
>>739097187If it wasn't for Villion:Code and not counting the Nintendo Switch version of Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart, every game developed and/or published by Compile Heart since November 2024 until the next Neptunia game would have been a game rated B in Japan...
And according to the Japanese eShop or ninteno.com for Japan, Villion:Code is rated D because of content related to drugs (okay) and sexual content (???), not violence or crime, so, it doesn't have the icons of the gun or the knife...very unexpected.
>>739096240Wasn't going to buy it anyway because of the blatantly censored character designs. They can reap the nonexistent "modern audience" that they so desperately desire.
>>739097368the untransformed ones are good and while nepgear's is pretty bad but the others are nice even if they do show less skin.IF's jacket being off her shoulders and her sleeves being a normal length instead of too long is a bad change. Compa's chest reduction is also a crime. Regardless I currently have no interest in this game since I bought sister vs sister and only barely played it. Nep has really fallen off and personally I think it'll be difficult to get me to care about it again.
>>739097931I think they're all worse across the board because they're too busy. The original character designs had a lot of thought put into them, keeping them simple but not too simple, and now they've added several more layers of clothes/accessories simply to cover skin instead of to make a more compelling character design. It looks terrible as well as censored, which is twice the crime.
>>739096240NEPSHIN IMPACT!lol>>739098168Hence why I said they look like a CCP gacha censor job. Just look at the post-"maintenance" Snowbreak designs and you'll see a lot of the same marks and cues as here.
>>739098295I'm sure it's developed using Unity like previous Compile Heart games in general.
>>739098168>now they've added several more layers of clothes/accessoriesFallen into gacha/vtuber disease which is itself just a mutation of furry OC disease. What a shame. Why can't anything just be good these days? Why must everything decline?
>>739097368The worst thing here is Compa who looks like she got a breast reduction.
>>739098295If you look at the demo's the games pretty much a Kingdom Hearts like game now. You hit your attack button and depending on your distance to the enemy you'll use a variety of attacks until you use a finisher. Considering the enemy hit stun is still shit its going to be just as annoyingly bad as SvS and ReGame.
>>739097368so romram showing thighs is now illegal.... sad life we live in.
>>739096325Nah, he's right as a point of fact. Noone gives a fuck though because they're cute and fun.Wish they'd put a bit of actual money into the musou-alikes though. The nep ones are the absolute cheapest, lowest-tier basic bitch shit in the genre.
>>739096240Are they ever gonna be more than embarrassments though? Its like they almost tried with V-II and just said fuck it since.
>>739097368Christ they look so visually confusing, like a fucking vtuber model for literal autists, christ i hate life anymore, why does everything fucking suck
>>739100275>implying most musou games aren't the exact same low effort garbage where you just mash 1 button through enemies
Compile shart only makes fujoslop now and nep was always kusoge, now it's censored kusoge
>>739100605>why does everything fucking suckCombination of Tominaga being a global trend-chasing retard + SnoyValTendo anti-otaku coalition pushing them to burqafy everything and leading to excessive accessorization to try and make up for the covered up outfits.
>>739097187>>739097373And CERO ratings have generally gotten stricter over the years for what qualifies as B compared to when CH was starting out, so it's even worse than just the rating would suggest.
You now remember slutty corrupted designs
weebs really having a meltdown because a japanese game dev made a game instead of child porn
>>739101096Chaos White Sister, destroyer of ojisans.
>>739101117Don't be ridiculous, the games don't even have explicit content for starters...
>>739101226A design that only appeared in a PS Vita game that was only released digitally.
>>739100465We'll see.
