TL;DR
This remake of the original Fairy Fencer F adds 2 routes, graphical improvements and other minor improvements. Over all, I personally really enjoyed the two routes, although they do have some flaws, like very little character development for some new characters. The game is somewhat buggy, but it's not a very big deal. All and all, I would highly recommend this game to anyone who likes JRPGS or is a fan of IF and CH (probably their best game in my opinion)

Long Review

Story

The game follows our protagonist named Fang, who accidentally became a Fencer and is tasked with collecting all the furies and reviving the goddess in order to make the world a better place. Along the way, he meets all kinds of characters, good and bad. The game is split up into three routes. The Goddess Route, The Vile God Route, and The Evil Goddess Route. The Goddess route was in the previous game and remains mostly unchanged, and the two new routes are very interesting and I enjoyed them a lot, though they are pretty flawed. The writing is what you would expect from IF and CH, a lot of jokes, but it does has it's serious moments and overall, I think that the writing is great, while being very similar to the Neptunia franchise.

Gameplay

The gameplay is a turn-based RPG. You can have up to 6 characters at a time and you must choose between regular attacks which you can customize, various skills and magic abilities, or wait if you are too far from the enemy or don't have what to do. When you take damage, a tension gague builds up, and when it reaches a certain point, your character can Fairize, which increases their stats and unlocks a ultimate ability. Each ability has an elemental atribute, and some enemies are weak or strong to certain elemental atributes. Regular attacks also change the shape of your weapon, and, just like with the elemental atributes, some enemies are weak to certain types of weapons. If you hit the enemy with a certain weapon enough, you will trigger a Avalanche Attack where your characters gang up on an enemy and unleash their combos on them. The enemy also has a guard gague, and when that is brought to zero, the enemy takes increased damage, but the guard gague builds back up over time. Over all, it's very similar to the Neptunia series, with some differences, and I really enjoy the battle system.

Soundtrack

The soundtrack in this game is really fantastic. The opening is great, all the endings are amazing and the boss themes and dungeon themes are all really awesome. I highly recommend buying the soundtrack, it will not dissapoint you.

Optimization

The optimization of this game is what you would expect from IF and CH, not good. The game is filled with various bugs, graphical glitches, and game breaking bugs like the now fixed July 1st bug which didn't allow for the game to start up if your calendar was past July 1st 2017. Luckily, the developers quickly released a patch and fixed it. And a lot of people, including me, are having trouble with the frame rate, and crashing. This is easily the weakest part of the game.

Pros
-Good Story
-Good Gameplay
-Pretty long
-Great Soundtrack
-Pretty Good English Voice Acting

Cons
-Bad character development at times
-Bad optimization

Overall Score
9.5/10. Highly recommend.

TL;DR
The story is really long and interesting, characters are well developed, gameplay is, in many ways imrpoved but the game could use a little bit of optimization. My rating is a 9.5/10. Performance issues aside, this game is amazing and you should buy it if you are a Nep fan and have played all other games before this. If you are new to this series, then play all the other games first to see if it's your type of game, then buy this.

Story
The story is what you would expect from a Nep game, funny but it does have it's serious moments (though most of the time Neptune breaks the mood). This time, the Story is branched out into 3 arcs and is a lot longer than the previous games.

Characters
The characters introduced in this game are extremely interesting and well developed as the game progresses. I don't think there is ONE new character that I don't like. My favorite new characters are Uzume and C-Sha.

OST
Some familiar tracks return like $100 and Minicar but the new ones that are introduced in this game are amazing, my favorite being More soul and Soutaisei Vision. If you have not bought the soundtrack yet, please do because this is some of the best music I have heard in my life.

Gameplay
If you have played the main Nep games before (Re;Birth 1, 2, 3) then the gameplay is almost the same, except there are a couple of changes. For one, there is no more Guard Points, but some enemies have parts that reduce damage, but can be broken if hit from a specific direction. EXE drives that use multiple characters now requires them to be in a certain position (circle, triangle) before you can use them. One thing that I dislike about the gameplay are the keyboard controls. In the previous games, I had no problem with them, but in this game they are horrible. If you own a controller, please, use that instead of the keyboard, will save you a lot of frustration.

Performance
While I don't have problems with performance (except for movies, which happen to a lot of people) a lot of other people do. Some people have huge lag, graphical glitches or crashes. I think this is the biggest fault of the game on PC. Idea Factory should do a lot more testing before releasing this to Steam. They do release patches which fix some problems, but it is really frustrating to have to wait for them before playing the game properly.

Hope this helped you guys, have fun Nepping!
