Neptunia mk2 was a big improvement over the original game in a lot of ways. Better graphics, better gameplay, better everything. While the story was a downgrade compared to the original game, it retained the darker tone that was present with the previous game while trimming down on the unnecessary fat of it.
In a lot of ways, I feel like mk2 is a better game than its remake - Re;Birth2 - purely if we're looking on the progression side of things. Yes, both games are very similar in how you progress through them, but where they differ is in their difficulty. mk2 can be brutally difficult at times, to the point where you can easily spend several hours grinding just to progress. A lot of people will see that as a negative, I see it as a positive personally, having played Re;Birth2 and breezing by that game in about 7 hours.
The amount of endings this game has (8 in total) also make the game very replayable as you can try out several different routes through the game.
