Let's start with a note: Neptunia saga is not for all, that's a fact.
As far as you can try if you don't like these "breaking the fourth wall", other games references and the fact the characters (at least the main ones) are girls you are not going to enjoy it.

Now let's talk about the game:
HDNRB1 is not just a remake of HDN, infact much is changed between story and mechanics.
The game is a quite hard JRPG, at least at the begin, sadly later you will probably going to spam these EXE (super like moves) destroying everything in your path but still the game gives out quite a challenge.
There's not actuall grinding like other JRPGs but still you can't go around ignoring enemies or you'll be in trouble against these End chapter bosses.
Graphically the game is not that bad but not everyone like the "anime style".
Musics are good even if not that many.
Dungeons are... well there's many dungeons but not many types, you will find yourself unlocking many dungeons sure but in the same times many of them are just the same one with some differences and nothing more, same for the enemies, so be aware, if you want to see differences at every corner you are not going to like it.
As port is not perfect but still this is the very first port made by IFI and, in my opinion, they made a good job in the end.
Should you buy it then? Yes, you should.
Still, like i've said at the begin, this game is not for everyone but who knows, you may find yourself having more fun than you think.

This fucking "game" shouldn't been made. Playing this game is a waste of time. Mediocore storyline,boring gameplay. Overrall, this game is a fucking diseaster and no human beings should have misfortune to play this shit.

Honestly talking, you are not the first person talking about how grindy the game is.
I haven't found real problems at side for 2 or 3 battles in the entire game, the trick is about buffs and charging up your exe barr for the boss, like i've said before you should buy these accessories that increase your HP.

After looking up some tips that's basically the consensus. Right now I'm grinding the whales from the Mechtro dungeon and I'm planning my moves better. I wanna take on the bosses without using up all my SP chargers and spamming heals and life fragments.

You should buy that accessory that increases your HPs if you have trouble.

Just got it on the Vita. I thought it would be annoying but I haven't been able to put it down. I'm seriously having trouble getting past chapter 2's boss though. I've heard that grinding is the key in these games so I've been grinding in every dungeon(I thought I was OP for the early chapters but apparently not), yet each new one is kicking my ass. Will it always be such a grind? It's kinda tiring.

MrJoe do you think people who like anime are pedophiles or something? O.O
I watch anime and appreciate it but i'm a teacher... Just because someone enjoys anime does not mean they are a bad person haha.
You are the one condemning millions to death simply because they enjoy a form of art/entertainment. Yes there are bad people who like anime, yes there are good people who like anime.
Just like humans there is bad and good - Sadly we all know what part you fall into.
