Usually, the town areas have boring, generic music while the battlefields and fights have more upbeat, interesting music. The musical score from the game has this weird persona that I don’t experience often with RPGs. It lets you, the player, decide what kind of game you want to play and change it at will when you get bored or want a fresh twist. This works both ways, as there is the option to make the enemies stronger, acquire extra experience, new weapons, and so on. Until I was able to get a plan to make the enemies ‘weaker,’ the game chugged along at a slow crawl due to the amount of grinding needed even for chapter one. These changes do have a big impact on the game’s difficulty. Get the required items for the plans and make it, and you essentially have the cheat shop out of the Disgaea series. As players progresses through the game, they are able to get plans that allow them to modify the environment. That is not so bad if it happens once in a while, but it cropped up a bit too often, thus slowing the game down and ruining that groove a player can get into to keep them going on a multi-hour play session.Īdded to help spice things up is the ability to change the world. There were some pacing issues I had when reaching sections of 30+ minutes of reading before going to the dungeons. The dialogue has been reduced greatly when compared to the original, but at times it still felt overdone.

This idea brings a lot of spice and originality for a company that wants to remake a series while thematically making sense of it all.

Key elements and events from the first are still there, but the majority of the scenes leading up to them are different. The basics have changed so much that it is not a simple cash-in on a different system. In terms of story, what you know about the first Neptunia game has to be thrown out the window when playing Re Birth1. This doesn’t mean it has to be a graphical beast, but considering how stylish and crazy the characters are portrayed, the backgrounds could have had more work done to set them apart. Small areas, lack of scenery, and little to see.

They still looked generic, but the problem with the Victory model is the settings are even more generically created. Some of the areas in the original had more charm to them and gave off less of a generic tone. This is a boon for those who enjoy the style of the newer titles, but it’s a shame to waste all the locations from the original. Jokes aside, the overview map and some of the dungeons are all similar to Victory if not direct clones.

Idea Factory has taken the core of the first game and changed the story and style to be more in line with the direction Victory has taken, creating a new parallel hyper dimension. The name rebirth is very apt and thematic for this game, because it is not a typical remake. Will it attract new blood into the jestful franchise, or will only the diehards come back for a second helping? Battle with up to 3 characters on the field, with 3 more as support.Some games get a remake, and others get a remaster, but not just any game can get a rebirth!
