John-ShepardThere are quite a few JRPGs slated to arrive this year, and one of the first will be the upcoming Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory .
The third entry in the popular franchise will release exclusively on the PlayStation 3 in North America on March 21, 2013. It was initially slated for March 12. The previously announced European launch date of March 15 will remain the same, although the UK won't get it until March 22 for some reason.
Neptune returns and she and her new friends will have to travel back to 1980s Gameindustri to set things right. Man, sometimes I miss the 80s… Anyway, this sequel features a faster-paced battle system, more dungeons, and more of that patented humor. Other key features include the fresh Scout System, which allows the player to send out Scouts to explore and gather information on dungeons. Then there's the Flag System, where you break or repair "flag" triggers in dungeons to activate different events, and the ability to Create Game Discs. This is where you obtain blank discs and burn different types of data onto them to access new abilities.
It's not all about Western RPGs in this day and age, ya know.

🙂 Thanks for the update Bben. Hopefully this will not delay my premium preorder with extras edition too much…
*Jealous*
Oh that's okay I guess, I'll be too busy to get it day 1 I think but I WILL have it. I think this will be the best one yet, glad Neptune is the main again.
