News: Check out all of the new footage that Idea Factory has just released for Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 which comes out later this month.

Idea Factory has just released some new footage for their new game, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 to whet your appetite ahead of the release later this month. There are four different videos showing off a variety of things such as:

Video 1 - Remake System (shown as “Plan” on menu bar): You can obtain Plans from residents of Gamindustri or from the battles. By completing the requirements of each plan, you can customize your game experience as you like. For example, you can add new dungeons, change the items you can collect in a dungeon (this video shows how to execute an item change), weaken enemies, strengthen enemies, etc. etc.

Video 2 - Disc Dev.: You can create your own disc (some earlier ones you’ll obtain in the game are cassettes…) that will provide new stats and additional effects for your characters. For example, increasing defense against Ghost-type enemies, increasing movement range in the battle, etc. etc. Each character can equip only one disc, so you need to make sure you have the best one for each character.

Video 3 - Gameplay - EX Finish Ver. 1: Each character will obtain a different EXE Drive attack, which will inflict massive damage to the enemy. “EXE Drive” moves will be obtained when the character is at certain levels (I believe Neptune will learn her first EXE Drive skill at level 25). Before obtaining EXE Drive, each character will learn skills for their “EX Finish,” which will finish up their turn with greater damage to the enemy. Each character can equip up to 4 EX Finish skills! This video shows the characters’ EX Finish moves and Nep-Nep’s EXE Drive skill.

Video 4 - Gameplay - EX Finish Ver. 2: This video shows the Iffy’s EXE Drive!

Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 will be released on August 26 in the U.S. both as a physical product and a digital download. It will be released in Europe on August 27 as a digital download only. Will you be picking up this game? Tell us what you think below.
