A good example of that is the Anime "DxD Highschool". It has lots of fanservice and cute female characters but it also presents a very interesting plot. I think "Victory" was a step in that direction and that's one of the main reasons I consider it to be the best entry in the series so far. It had more substance than just masturbating to your preferred "waifu" for the entire game. But I digress, it's just my personal preference and I'm aware it's never going to happen. I just wish for the series to not get stagnant and repetitive down the road, that's all. I'd say it's doing a lot of experimenting and growing right now, personally. VII is doing a lot, all the spinoffs have tried new things, and so on. However, "substance" does not have to equate to darker and more serious, and it certainly shouldn't equate to betraying what makes a series what it is. I'd also DxD is an extremely different sort of series, and to that end, I'd also say every single Neptunia game, with perhaps PP being the exception, has far more substance than you're giving it credit for. I also have to say I find your comments about V a bit odd since while it did have a more substantial plot, it was also basically one big comedy, and the most comedy-focused entry in the series too - it's gotten a LOT of, often very unjustified, flak over the years for that.

Spoilers alert for those who never played Mk2 and Victory Quote: Originally Posted by Seventh Honestly, I think Neptunia is a franchise that should be compared to the likes of Mario and Sonic far sooner than it should most other JRPG franchises, especially if you consider how it's being handled. Story doesn't change the bigger things. There's absolutely no intersection between the Neptunia franchise and those games. The way this series' gameplay features and story are handled is completely different from a Mario/Sonic game. A Mario/Sonic game, is pretty much walking in a straight line. No surprises/twists along the way that might change partially or completely the tone of the plot they had initially designed. That is why, at least to my knowledge, Mario/Sonic games, no matter how different the story and gameplay might turn out every new iteration, their pace always follow a single and unchanged tone. The Neptunia series is like riding a roller coaster. You still ride a predefined path, which can be clearly noticed by the comical and lighthearted tone established throughout the series. Yet, the series DO have those ups and downs that change, sometimes drastically, the tone the game; even if just for a brief period of time. Mk2's alternate ending is a very good example of my point. That kind of tone, a dark atmosphere with direct remarks and actions about sacrificing siblings for the sake of attaining power and defeating an enemy is something you would never see in a Mario/Sonic game, at least not the classic ones. I concede that's a drastic example that was only used in the series once and I wouldn't be surprised if they've taken that out of the remake version. Nonetheless, there are more examples, albeit less intense, that shows that this series is seen and designed by its developers under a very different light from those who make Mario/Sonic games.

However, "substance" does not have to equate to darker and more serious, and it certainly shouldn't equate to betraying what makes a series what it is. I wouldn't say a lot, since we don't know much about VII yet. Maybe you're right gameplay-wise, but the plot/character and how they're handled is what interests me more. I agree about substance doesn't have to equate to being darker and more serious. But that's just my personal preference. If you think the combination of comical relief, shallow main characters/villains and poorly/vaguely constructed plots can be referred as "substance", I won't stop you, but I strongly disagree. However, if the series is going to dabble in creating scenes with a more serious tone - as they do in every game - I think they should at least do it right and develop the plot/atmosphere/characters as much as they can. Quote: Originally Posted by Seventh I'd also DxD is an extremely different sort of series, and to that end, I'd also say every single Neptunia game, with perhaps PP being the exception, has far more substance than you're giving it credit for. On the contrary. They're structurally extremely similar. Both presents their initial plot to their audience at the start of the show/game, then they follow by establishing and sticking with a comical and ecchi tone with some minor drops of the actual plot development along the majority of episodes/game time and by the end of it - usually on the last 2 episodes of the Anime or the last Chapter if it's a game - they resume their central plot with full force until it's over. They only differ in intensity and focus. Neptunia is more focused on the comical relief and it takes a little bit easy with the panty shots and other Ecchi references. Quote: Originally Posted by SEVENTH I also have to say I find your comments about V a bit odd since while it did have a more substantial plot, it was also basically one big comedy, and the most comedy-focused entry in the series too - it's gotten a LOT of, often very unjustified, flak over the years for that. Every Neptunia game is one big comedy. Nothing new there. However, Victory is demonstrably more serious than any other entry in the series. The central plot was present throughout most parts of the game. The villains had more character development than in any other entry, specially Rei, who for the first time we had a complete insight of a villain's behavior, motivations and feelings. The tone of some scenes were much more serious, we even had a villain who experimented on CHILDREN, that's dark as hell, even the main characters were like "oh, what the hell? this is not the tone for this kind of game" hahaha; but in the end, it fit very well with the plot. I could go on with other details but I'm already being too prolix in this matter. Note that, although they improved the shallowness/vagueness of the characters and central plot in V compared to their prior installments, I think they can go much deeper than that.

@First section To that, my viewpoint is that, again, story doesn't change the bigger things. As for story in those games, Sonic Adventure 2 features a character bent on revenge because the government ransacked his home and killed his "family," including a girl plagued with a disease based on AIDS. The character manipulates pretty much everyone and very nearly succeeds in his desire to wipe out humanity, but has a change of heart in the end - it's still a ridiculously dark game. Other entries in the series border more on the side of ridiculous, but they all still have their stories. And heck, ridiculous B movie plot that it had, Shadow the Hedgehog offered you choice too if it's an issue of Neptunia just having multiple endings. A "classic" Neptunia game probably wouldn't have had it either, though? The games were made, what, decades apart almost? So a comparison like that really doesn't make sense. I'd say it isn't. @Second section We actually know... a ton, really. I don't know if you've followed it all, especially since most of the discussion and stuff is on other boards, but I think we're at the point where we're nearing at least knowing most of it now. As for that, I don't think they're doing it "wrong" (at least based on the things you're criticizing them for) in the first place for there to be a need for them to do it "right" to begin with. It's a substance you personally don't like, which is fine, but you should at least acknowledge that it is substance - and it's the kind of substance that makes this series what it is. And who knows, I might still like it, or even like it more, if it got edgy and grimdark and developed and all that - I've wanted a lot of this series that'll never happen, so I get that much at least. But it would undeniably be something else at that point. @Third section Well, alright, there is that similarity in that respect, but that's a broad sort of thing that's true for far more than just these two things. What's more, if you're talking specifically about DxD's anime, then right now, we're still basically in the first chapters of the larger story to begin in regards to the larger plot as a whole, which is another reason it's not a good comparison - it's an ongoing novel series with subplots and character development that builds and builds and builds and all of that, Neptunia is a game series that has to start and wrap just about everything up in a single game for the most part, which is why it's much more like Mario and Sonic. Everything has to wrap up so the status quo, for the most part, can be back to where it was in the beginning for the next game. They differ in far, far more than that. @Last second Well, I actually liked Victory most out of the three main games, so I do agree with a lot of that to... a degree. But when you get into making it like the Conquest Ending - probably the most shallow, poorly written thing to ever come out of this franchise - theeeen you start to lose me. Anyway, this might be best moved to another thread if you wanna continue, since this is now drastically off topic, but yeah.

If you don't like grinding A LOT, I'd recommend watching the P3 FES story on a Youtube let's play. There isn't much interaction between the crawl. In FFF, so far I really like the main three a lot. Fang is now my #1 favorite male protagonist. He actually GROWS and you can see him maturing through the game. He's always laid back and cracks me up with his one track mind. Eyrn is just so darn lovable and cute that I pretty much (platonically) fell in love with her character from the start. Tiara is also a favorite because she makes me laugh with her strange personality. She's very unique indeed. Her masochism is really hilarious. Ha, well, P3 are also my favorite characters. In P4 it is Rise. Rise and 5pb. would make a great duet! :3 Speaking of 5pb., I'm hoping to see more development of her RB3. She has a lot of potential, and I want to see more! I still haven't seen much of MAGES., but so far, I'm neutral. Sometimes I wonder if less really is more, because it leaves more to the imagination?

Hmm.. 5pb I've been a fan of since the original HDN, and shes one of the reasons I always pick up the DLC characters. I adore her style. MAGES. is a walking Steins;Gate reference, amusingly enough I played Victory before Steins;Gate and found the character of MAGES. and the events hilarious. So when I started playing S;G a couple of weekends back and found that they were Whole Plot References it made me appreciate the skits in Victory more. Spent most of my second and third playthroughs of Re;Birth one with MAGES. in her Kirisu outfit, to the point that I was ODing on S;G and was glad to change to Team Nintendo. Now I can't play S;G or Senran Kagura without picturing Noire doing the lines with her voice actress being Kirisu and Ikaruga in both. Noire totally needs an Ikaruga cosplay outfit ><

Nice to see some more 5pb. appreciation. She caught me off guard big time, I wasn't expecting to get so enthralled with a character when I picked up Mk2. Yea from what I DID see of MAGES., she definitely resembled a Steins Gate reference, talking about about "The Organization" and all. I didn't play Steins Gate very long though, so I don't know too much about Kirisu/Chris. Her little smirk kind of rubs me the wrong way though, heh.. __________________ “Fortune favors the brave.” I am 5PB. Lyrica's biggest fan! (5PB. confirmed for Rebirth3, YEAH!!)

i just clearly think the all of the Hyperdimension Neptunia games have been extraordinarily funny and entertaining. first i just love all of the CPU's from Neptune to Peashy. also Iffy and Compa are the most kawaii characters!! anyway my order would go like this..... 1. CPU of Planetune : Purple Heart (Neptune) Not just because she's the main character, but for me she's the only on that is very funny and very similar to my personality and on the anime, she's pretty cute 2. CPU of Leanbox: Lady Green Heart just because of her boobs and that she's an otaku 3. Obviously The CPU of Lastation: lady Black Heart Not only she represents PlayStation but shes just an overall awesome character to play with 4.Yellow Heart (Peashy) SUPER KAWAII!!!!! in both CPU form and human form. also she's represent the pc so yeah.... 5.Iris Heart (Plutia) She is sooo cool and i just love it when she transforms into a cute little girl to this awesome edge and pretty sensual CPU..... LOL

My favorites huh? Well in that case! 1. Vert / Green Heart Vert is and will always be my favorite, she's has a lot of grace, beautiful, and is a very refined woman. But, at the same time she is a jack of all trades when it comes to being an otaku, (video games, anime, and even figure collecting). She also cares very much about the others, IF and Nepgear being a very obvious example as well as with Chika. 2. Blanc / White Heart Who doesn't love lolis that will kick your ass if you anger her?! Blanc while is a recluse half the time, tries to be a good sister towards Ram & Rom even though she continues to say things she regrets to say to them. Just because Blanc seems like a ice queen, doesn't mean she doesn't have emotions. She clearly has them, but hides them very well. Overall I like Blanc, as she doesn't take crap from anyone! 3. Plutia / Iris Heart One moment she's cute and sleepy, the other she's a maso-sadistic young woman with her body quivering in anticipation in wanting to punish you if you anger her. Iris Heart does what she feels like, and hurts those who most likely deserve it half the time (I feel bad for Arfoire and Nepgear...). While her actions can be questioned, her motives seem right in her heart. I hope Plutia gets more screen time soon! __________________

Nice write up. Vert grew on me a little in her chapter (finally met her in Hyper Dimension Neptunia rb1), and the points are all so very true. Pardon me for asking though, but I'm curious... Do you want to BE Vert or do you just admire her a while? Your name says to me that you want to be like her / look up to her. __________________ “Fortune favors the brave.” I am 5PB.

I admire her, if you want to know . When I first met her, it really came to surprise me that she represents the Xbox, seeing how most of the time I meet Xbox fans...they're very...interesting on proving their console is the best... Anyways while I did pick the name LadyVert, its not that I want to be her its like you said, I admire her which is why I added the "Lady" to my username. __________________

Okay, getting further on on the game yesterday, I noticed Vert seems to REALLY like IF for some reason. I wonder why? Seems like a little sister relationship so far. Maybe it's because Vert never had a little sister? __________________ “Fortune favors the brave.” I am 5PB. Lyrica's biggest fan! (5PB. confirmed for Rebirth3, YEAH!!)

Remember that R;B1 is a remake of the first game. There were no sisters. It was a thing in the original, too, but it was a little more fleshed out there. At least from IF's side. Vert pretty much just latched on the same way in both games, IIRC. __________________

I'd say RB1 didn't necessarily need to flesh it out since it's a pretty straightforward person-getting-to-know-(insert object of worship)-but-that-(insert object of worship)-isn't-how-they-imagined deal, where you can infer a whole lot just with basic background knowledge. But yeah, no sisters in RB1.

That's not the way the Guild was set up. Though I have no idea how spoiler tags work on this forum so whatever. I won't go into too much detail. But there were no branches like that because it wasn't an organization of information or jobs like it is now. __________________

I just found out 5pb.-chan is actually a bokukko, just like the famous Hestia, from the Dungeon anime. She refers to herself as "boku" (instead of "watashi" or "atashi"), which is normally used by young boys, and apparently tomboys as well. That's awesome. News to me, I am now educated with Japanese pronoun usage. __________________ “Fortune favors the brave.” I am 5PB. Lyrica's biggest fan! (5PB. confirmed for Rebirth3, YEAH!!)

Neptune is my hook, line and sinker. I wouldn't be playing the series if not for her. Purple Heart is such an excellent counterbalance to her normal form and Rie Tanaka's voicework makes every line a delight to listen to. Second favourite would probably be Noire, because of her comedy duo act with Neptune. Third would be Blanc. Honestly, I want to put Vert here, but I feel her dialogue is too focused on her lack of little sisters now.

Favorite Characters. 1. Nepgear. After all the crap she went through in mk2 and Victory, she still came out of it a nice character with a few quirks that are not all that annoying (honestly I find them rather amusing). If I were to go on and explain any more about her character, I'd most likely go on for a few paragraphs and end up forgetting my point and have to delete it all and start all over again, and end up repeating the same mistakes (vicious cycle of history repeating). So I'll cut it short here and finish by writing that I find her design cute. 2. Blanc. So. Freaking. Adorable. (maybe not as adorable as Rom, but she still has a higher place on my favorite characters list than Rom) and an awesome personality to boot. Call me whatever you want when it comes to this character but I do like this character for her personality and design in both forms. 3. Vert. How can I write down what I like about her without being redundant or copying someone else's post. Hell LadyVert describes why she likes the character better than I could and we have the same reasons. She is all around a very respectful character with a very nice design (not her chest. You could reduce her size down to Blanc's and I'd still say she has some awesome costumes). Honorable Mentions. 5pb. He he. Aw, man. How can I not like her. She is cute and funny. Plutia. While she won't be in my top favorites, she will always be a character I like. There are too many points in the game where she is just too awesome for me not to include her in my like section. Dislike. 1. Noire. I don't know if it is just bad translations or something else but this character always came off as overly arrogant and ended up barely getting any karmic retribution done to her for her actions, until Victory. And even then that was a different Noire who went down a similar path to the Hyperdimension counterpart. I enjoy (possibly too much) when she ends up humiliated by Plutia and Anonydeath. As well as when different characters land on her.

At least some of that is NISA, but people really do need to keep in mind that comparing the V versions of Blanc/Noire/Vert rather than treating them as separate incarnations purposely written with differences isn't the best move.

My favorite character changed as the cast grew larger, as you'd expect would happen. Started with Blanc, since I've been a fan of kuuderes for a while and Blanc is generally a respectable CPU. I've gotten to like other characters too, wasn't big on IF at the start but she grew on me quickly, Neptune was fun and I liked the other CPUs well enough. Nisa is probably my favorite Maker, sadly she's Disgaea-only these days. I don't really have a least favorite. My overall favorite as of right now, and probably for good? That's an easy one.

Going to say RED. She's short, looks cuddly, always cheery, not as obnoxious as Neptune (Localized or otherwise) and I'll love to be her wifey Quote: Originally Posted by Red Rose Revolver 1.Cave,I just love her character and I think she has just the most awesome super move's (Mega Black Label). She is also the only game character that I know that uses sisscors as her main weapon and I thaught that was pretty cool. Replying to an old post...but meet Kutaro from Puppeteer.

In relation to scissors, theres Casper from DeathSmiles that CAVE took inspiration from. Brings back memories of the fun time in SMT: Imagine with the Deathsmiles cosplays and weapons... I sunk too much money into that game for the servers to go offline always and forever. la sigh. And of course, the grand-pappy of all scissor wielding characters... Scissorman from Clock Tower. Nowadays theres more the little kids in Corpse Party with their scissors... ugh Most awesome binaural effects ever in a truly horrific manner. ... I'm sensing a pattern there that its usually characters in horror related games armed with scissors. I'm not sure that Puppeteer fits in that pattern, tho I've not actually played it. XD

Ever since IFI got their paws on the series, Noire is really starting to grow on me. Not enough to rate her as high as you, but she certainly isn't in last place anymore! __________________ Unrelenting Positivity!

It' very nice to see the Vert love here! Favorites: Vert - Oh man, I'll try not to write a whole book on why I love her. She's elegant, beautiful, sounds like a fun person to be around, very loving & caring. I love long hair, I love blondes. Sexy long legs, nice breasts. Beautiful eyes in both forms. I especially love Green Heart's narrow shaped eyes (narrow eyes FTW!). I never had so much I like about a character before. It's like someone took her (and every feature I would like an irl wifey to have) out of my dreams and made her a character! The only thing I dislike about her is how she acts in Victory, and her gloves she wears with her original Princess Dress. I actually like the fact she likes yaoi. I'm not into it, though. Chika - She loves Vert and she is very attractive. Also, my favorite color is green. Noire - I like her clothes, she's very serious and has a nice body in both forms. I don't like her Ultradimension look though. Ram - She would be fun to play with. She loves having fun! Even though I'm a straight guy, I love pink... on girls. Least fav sigh I really don't like being negative, but... Neptune - Cause she says main character too much. I liked her in the original game, mk2, PP, and Re;Birth2 though. RED - Re;Birth2 only. She says wifey too much. I like RED in the original game. Blanc - Only in Neptunia PP, I think she's ok in everything else. Anonydeath - Cause he seems the opposite of Anonymous. Iris Heart - Cause of how she treats people. I like her in the anime though. Trick - Pedophile. Rom - She's nice, but I find her very bland. And she gets kidnapped so much! Underling - I liked her, until the conquest ending... Pirachu - Victory/Re;Birth3 only. Played with English voices "I'll call PETA on you!" made him annoying to fight. I'm ok with him in everything else. __________________ My thoughts on censorship

My top 4 favorites are... 1.) Plutia/Iris Heart: She's so cute as Plutia and so take charge and not wanting to let the villains monologue as Iris Heart, plus I love her EXE drives, though I will say I do like her anime version a bit better than the game version, they made her a bit more balanced there. 2.) Vert/Green Heart: Total gamer, what's not to like. 3.) Noire/Black Heart: So tsundere and has the cutest non-transformed outfit. 4.) Neptune/Purple Heart: Cause she's the main character, though really because she's carefree and funny as Neptune and a great leader and responsible as Purple Heart, plus purple is my favorite color. My Bottom 4 are... 4.) Nepgear/Purple Sister: She's just so bland. 3.) RED: Was cute at first, but after the hundredth time of saying wifey I was just like shut up you're annoying now. 2.) Blanc/White Heart: She's just so grumpy and pissy all the time. 1.) Ram/Rom: Can't even be bothered with separating them out, they are almost the same and so annoying and whiny and act helpless almost all the time.

Finally finished Re:Birth3, now having done all the Re:Births and the original HDN and I'm finding my favorites change a little from game to game. But overall: Favorite #1: Falcom (both of them, though the young version gets an added awww factor) She's tough, she's strong-willed, and she gets things done. But she's still got a cool, upbeat personality that could make friends with anyone--without being sickly sweet. She seems like the perfect heroine in my eyes, and if they ever made a game starring her in all her crazy adventures, I would be all over it. Favorite #2: Noire Her tsundere nature can be endearing (though time to time it goes a bit far), but I love her determination and just generally find her to be really cool (that cockiness is part of it). RB1 shot her up my favorites list with her whole development--being conflicted about what was most important to her and finding her resolve working with Nep. Also, that nighttime pudding scene made me fall in love with her. For that game at least, she beat out Falcom. Also, I have to agree with Anonydeath that she is hella fun to tease. Favorite #3: Brave Here's a villain that I couldn't help but root for. Had admirable goals, even if I couldn't quite get past the idea that he was basically working with an apocalypse cult in order to make children happy (and spoiled). I can't help but ship him and Uni, if only he would come back...I cried a little when she took him down, and I really did not expect to see tears in this series that weren't from laughing too hard. Honorable Mention: Neptune--she's given me quite a few laughs. Then I found her "if a goddess was your wife" CD track--nearly split my sides laughing.

I suppose I can do this now. I'll do this from three perspectives, one purely personal, one gameplay and one storyline. From the personal subjective experience: #(1): Copypaste. Sir Copy. After Anon rebuilt him (for the first time), he had this "Camaraderie, Adventure and Steel on Steel" attitude, (alongside his usual butt kicking/wrecking M.O.) and eventually found his calling in the quarry. As a person who would play hours of dungeon keeper 2 possessing an imp and personally carving out my dungeon, block by block, square by square, I can relate to that. He also reminded me of Minsc (and Boo), Baldur's Gate, who were my favorite(s), so I felt absolutely wretched when Blanc (and thanks to railroading, I) went to town on him. 2 and onwards: They all pale, but... #(2) Blanc. My entry to the series was the magnificently written Hyperdimension Dwarf Fortress Quest thread series from 4chan's traditional games board, where the players collectively voted Urist (the titular personification of Dwarf Fortress), to go to Lowee, in hopes of finding the old-timer classics of gaming history. Of course, the fates decided that Blanc would play quite a role in that quest, and the rest as they say, is history. #(3) Singe. Anyone who decides to make a weapon for a goddess with his bare hands deserves a medal. And not only that, after the whole avenir arc he didn't seem to have a single problem working under Chian of Passe or Noire. #Honorable mentions: Lastation Guard, Lowee Guard who rolled a natural 20 for diplomacy when Sir Copy came over. Gameplay: #(1): Plutia. Plutia is love, Plutia is life. I always liked wizard-style characters, and plutia just delivered in rebirth 1. Not only is she effective against robot styled enemies (robots have high vit and low men scores), which are by far the most prevalent, she can be configured to use whichever element is the most deadly, and her SP skills perfectly complement her attacks. And HDD neptune and fairy fencer f sword aside, Thunderblade Kick is by far the most consistent and most damaging Exe drive I had the fortune to witness (many many times). As cherry on top, she didn't speak a single line in the cutscenes. She played exactly like the mage-type characters I created in other games. (mostly Dungeon Siege 2 and Baldur's Gate) #(2): Noire. Two words: Infinite Slash. Aside from that, she is quite powerful and versatile in rebirth 3, possessing unique fire and lightning based guard break strikes, and I still enjoy playing her immensely. #(3-3): Nepgear and Vert: Both for their awesome support skills in rebirth 3: Brain Steep and Offensive Cheer. as for the story one... from what I can recall, the original trio takes the cake: Neptune on a quest IF the sane ninja Compa the cleric.
