I think the demographic they are going after enjoy the "grinding".

Hey, this isn't Record of Agarest War here...

Most of the official releases for these type of games are PG-13, they are not X-rated as most seem to be implying here. Think Pokemon with cute girls in place of imaginary animals.

This is how the game industry has evolved in Japan, playing off trends in anime.

Well, to be fair there are a lot of creepy Japanese games, and with the character designs and whatnot it's easy to make assumptions. Take a look at the descriptions for Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars (which is also on the 3DS, and Nintendo is very careful about licensing) or Akiba's Trip: Undead and Undressed.

But hey, it's not like American games and media have their own stigmas or anything.

To be fair, you weren't talking about the game, either. Just posting video after video with no context tells me nothing about why you are so excited about it.

Assassin's Creed, and Grand Theft Auto are both rated "Mature" while Hyperdimension Neptunia™: Producing Perfection it rated "Teen". Hyperdimension Neptunia MK2 is the only one rated "Mature" but the worst part of it is in the trailer I posted.

All of this talk and I still know nothing about what the game is, other than that it involves "grinding" and it's like "Pokemon with big breasted girls instead of cute little animals". And while I know what grinding means in relation to RPGs, the latter description is really creepy.

And what's wrong with a game rated mature? That's like saying all PG-13 rated movies are better than all rated R movies.

And suddenly I notice the OP's name is chrisc....

Noticed that as well when the bitching began.

I think it's a pretty basic JRPG; a nominal story, turn based battles, action points, etc, with the hook, as someone else said, that the girls in the party are all representative of some kind of game system, and the enemy is some kind of pirated gaming system. You can also summon things and can change the pictures of what you summon with pictures on the PS3/vita. There's also an anime out there, which I assume is where chrisc got interested.

No matter what anyone says you would find something to complain about, If the images and trailers looked interesting you would have watched Youtube videos of gameplay or something similar by now. You and half the others don't give a damn about this game and finding anything to say against it, That's why I left before and its not worth my time posting anymore.

No one said anything in this thread before. The fact is that you're not engaging in discussion. You're posting press releases and videos (which makes you look like a shill), and when people ask for a conversation you don't mention the merits of these games at all. Instead you attack other totally unrelated games.

Stop acting like we came here looking to gang up on you. Act like a member of the community and you'll be treated as such.

I'm actually interested in this game now. Chris, If you'd just explain from the first post the concept of the game, I would've checked it out. The trailers you posted don't really do a good job of showing what the game is about.

That is my understanding of these games. Take a lighter version of the Final Fantasy series and have it all revolve around anime girls. This is not rocket science, people.

For everyone's info...
