Can't wait! Love this series! I just hope that since this is a PS4 game and with how well the sales are in the west that IFFY has a much larger budget and we can finally get a full english dub as it's a shame the dubs are very small compared to the length of entire script and I love the English VA's.

^sounds like me.
I don't own a PS4 and have no real plans to get one (or didn't), in fact the console seems very bland (same to the xboxone) with nothing making me think "I'm STILL using my ps3, why?", in fact it has only made me think of how happy i am to have got this ps3 dirt cheap from my friend who only begged for it back only 2 weeks after getting his ps4 (haha that didn't happen xD).

Sadly, I'm a nepnep sucker, and i sure like to nep them neps, and one can't nep a nep without nep nepping a ps4, so whilst i will wait until the game is actually looking to be released (4 weeks before or so), I guess i will be getting one (urgh) just for this game... and any sequels of course Very Happy Love the series so yes i will get a ps4 just for it... i'm sure there will eventually be some good other games released (there might be now... I'm not the biggest gamer so yeah, these opinions are from someone who just buys games randomly without following them intensively and just enjoy them).

Auhhh, I've waited so long to use this picture. Seeing we've got pretty much all Neptunia titles, I knew we'd get VII eventually. And Early 2016. Better get $60 to put aside.

I've got the Japanese demo on my PS4, and even in just the demo I'm loving all the improvements so far. Can't wait for this to get released, definitely jumping on the Limited Edition as soon as they announce it.

What are the major improvements? I curious since I'm playing Re;birth 3 on my Vita and I kind of want to know the major differences other than the graphics because they're a handheld and a console.

They really are giving it all to launch the game outside Japan.
I can't wait for it, the OST is simply great (stumbled upon it on youtube).

I figured we'd get this since we got all the others, and i was planning on getting a ps4 soon anyway Very Happy . (for this, Disgaea 5, zestiria CE, persona 5 and eventually the FF VII remake, among others)

I hope the game will be available on Steam, but this seems to be only exclusive to the Re;birth games, and that game won't get a remake until 2-3 years.

-_- Okay, I understand why many want to play with EN dub.

My opinion is that I do not like dubs in games at all (I'm not saying there should not be dubs anymore). If there is an original Japanese dub, I definitively choose that because I like watching anime in original language, so do I play video games in Japanese dub.

While playing Re;birth 1, I noticed that the English script is much shorter than the Japanese one and that the text script is entirely based on the English script, ergo there is no 100% accurate translation for the Japanese voice track. I hate that in all games. It's like, "the consumers do not know Japanese anyway, so they won't notice it". I do notice that. Thankfully, I have watched so many animes in my life, I have always an idea what they are talking about. But in my opinion, companies localizing Japanese games should translate it in a way like people would watch fansubs. Neptunia is a franchise that is basically aimed at anime fans and they even have some terms like "Onii-chan" at some point. Even if the setting is not in Japan, something like Nep-ko or Gear-chan or I-chan should not be much of a problem. Or in the case of Danganronpa, changing from last name basis to first name basis is idiotic. It's Japan, not the West, and even some Western countries use the last name basis.

Aside from that, the English Neptune is a totally different character than the Japanese Neptune. They have the basic characterisms, but the English Neptune lacks the energy of the Japanese Neptune.
