Screenshots: Hyper Goddess Faith Noire: Extreme God Black Heart

Hyperdimension Neptunia spin-off Hyper Goddess Faith Noire: Extreme God Black Heart (how awesomely Japanese is that title?) is due to bring a different take on Compile Heart's unusually popular franchise to the PlayStation Vita, expected to release on 29th May in Japan. Still no word on a western release as of yet but with PP making its way here Im going to go with this one more than likely recieving a localisation. Instead of the traditional turn-based combat the game is known for, with this being developed by Sting (the studio behind a number of Atlus-published SRPGs like Gungnir and Yggdra Union) we are looking at an SRPG along the lines of Disgaea or ZHP with regards to gameplay. Yes, the rumoured ChiBi style has become reality. To be honest I had doubts myself over the style, but it has grown on me (especially with the news of Persona Q using the same style) and I guess it helps with seperating the game from the main series due to it being a spin-off. Plus, how Kawaii! is ChiBi Neptune!? Till some more news comes our way, here's some screenshots to feast your eyes on (New characters also shown!) There is also a trailer but it features no gameplay so I havent included it on this article but its easily found if you paste the game's title into search on Youtube for those that are curious.

Now when are Compile Heart going to be doing Ultimate Goddess Fury Blanc: Extreme Hammer White Heart!??
