>>556987798I played Deep Crimson years ago but the lost DLC sounds kino as hell. Honestly I think they shouldn't have released this game on the 3DS. It's a good game, but everyone that had this console only used it to play casual shit like Animal Crossing or Pokemon. This console's audience was either turbo casuals or they had homebrew installed on it.
I love my wife Neptune!
Hero of gamindustri
I love Itsuka Kotori.
>>556988351A fair rebuttal lol
>>556988960Burst sold well enough to propel the series and Deep Crimson sold around 20k even if it was overshadowed by Shinovi Versus. The 3DS absolutely had an otaku base, it just wasn't quite as big as the Vita's.
>>556990525Deep Crimson is still the best Senran game.
>>556991004I hate how much they nerfed Mirai in Shinovi and Estival Versus after she was so fun to play as in Deep Crimson. Weapon switching loli that pulls out fucking miniguns and grenade launchers was fun as hell, and broken too (the grenade launcher could stunlock bosses like Dogen). They took all that away from her in SV and made her way too weak and clunky, she doesn't even work well as a zoner any more. She's my favorite, or close to my favorite, Senran as well. It's fucking shit.
Blanc on OP, I approve
>>556991565Yeah, I remember being very pleasantly surprised by her and the super versions of Homura and Asuka when I finally got around to playing it. A mate of mine had so many gameplay complaints and I never quite got them before them.
>>556988960Well, hindsight is always 20/20. I think they were thinking DC would be a hit because SV sold so well. Thing is SV only sold so well because the Vita got a price cut around that time and the very first SK anime was airing.
METAMORPHOSIZE YOUR HEART, UNLEASH THE HELL INSI->*crashes*
>>557000870CUTE
>>557000870W fera. Bootjobs, shoejobs, footjobs and oral creampies.
>>556995646That song got me hype. Too bad the transformation mechanics are poorly implemented so that you can't hear the rest of the song for too long
>>557003709>neetWhat's funny is that Big Nep is one of the few neps who canonically has an education (she mentions going to high school in her VR thingy)
I love Red Riding Hood.
>>556995646This console fucking sucks.
I LOVE BLACK HEART. I LOVE THE WAY SHE TALKS. I LOVE HER JAPANESE VOICE AND HER ENGLISH VOICE. I LOVE THE WAY SHE SAYS SHE HAS TO BE THE ONE DOING EVERYTHING. I LOVE HER REAL NAME WHICH IS NOIRE WHICH IS APPROPRIATE BECAUSE I ALWAYS FEEL NO IRE WHEN I HEAR HER. I LOVE THE WAY HER CLEARLY SOFT AND SILKY WHITE HAIR FLOWS. I LOVE THAT SHE'S 160 CM WHICH IS IMAGINE TIER BECAUSE I AM WAY TALLER THAN HER. I LOVE THAT SHE USES SWORDS BECAUSE IT IS MY FAVORITE WEAPON TO USE IN RPG GAMES. I LOVE THAT SHE CARRIES THE TEAM WITH GOOD ALL ROUND STATS. I LOVE THAT SHE TRUSTS ME ENOUGH TO HELP HER IN HER GAME WHEN SHE LOST ALL HER FRIENDS. HER SWORD IS REALLY NICELY DESIGNED IN HOW SIMPLE IT IS AND IT COMPLIMENTS HER NICE ELEGANT FIGURE. SHE HAS PERFECTLY SIZED HIPS AND BREASTS FOR HER FRAME. AS SHE WEIGHS 45KG SHE IS PRETTY LIGHT WHICH WOULD MAKE CARRYING HER TO A COMFORTABLE PLACE EASY WHEN SHE GETS TIRED FROM WORK. NOIRE GETS ALONG WELL WITH NEPTUNE WHICH IS NICE. I LOVE THAT SHE IS FRIENDS WITH BLANC AND VERT. I LOVE THAT SHE LIES ABOUT BEING OVERWORKED BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T WANT THE OTHERS TO WORRY ABOUT HER BUT WE ALL KNOW WE HAVE TO DO IT ANYWAY. I LOVE THE EAGERNESS SHE HAS WHEN DRAGGING ME AROUND TO SPEND THE DAY WITH HER. I LOVE THAT EVEN THOUGH SHE SAYS MEAN THINGS SHE CARES ABOUT HER FRIENDS.
>>557003284>look, im JUST SAYING, if baldur's gate can get away with fucking anything because it's gay AF, compa should be able to get away with a little yuriThere's a difference between "yuri for the male gaze" and "yuri for the sake of sapphism", or the "uwu wholesome lesbians" kind. The latter is what BG3 is closer to, the former catches bans and censorship. Compare the difference between how the localization in Mary Skelter (Finale) handled Otsuu and Little Mermaid versus how it handled Mary's lust for Charlotte's massive tits. The latter was censored and downplayed as much as possible in the localization.I'd rather not Compile Heart move in this direction anyway. I don't want them to contrive a plot where they push Blanc with Vert or someone else any more than they already do for the sake of yuribaiting. Blanc has thankfully avoided most of that so far, but there's no guarantee if they do what you're suggesting. I already hate seeing just the fan art. I know I'm not alone in this sentiment either, and thankfully Compile Heart seems to know that. >>557003857Best explanation I can come up with is that by the time they were considering more Switch ports, Takaki already left Marvelous. The last Senran Kagura Switch port was in 2018, Takaki left in 2019. He was the main one pushing for the series; after he left, Marvelous did the bare minimum to keep the revenue from the gacha flowing while not investing any more in the series.Would killing off the gacha cause Marvelous to reconsider a console game? As things are, I doubt it; the environment is simply too hostile to it outside of mobile, too much effort needed to release it, and the audience there, to the extent it still exists, is deeply betrayed and cynical. Their farm sim slop also brings in much more revenue now, especially Rune Factory, which if you remember, during Senran Kagura's heyday basically died with 4. Marvelous revived it, fagged it up, and now it's their new flagship.
>>557006703So does CH's ability to optimize.Not saying the Switch wasn't underpowered, but CH's spaghetti code definitely didn't help
>>557003284Just do a Mahoako collab duh
NepuBuran
>>557009661I want to spank white heart
>>557006703>>557009674Compile Heart's Switch ports tend to range from mediocre but passable to bad, but Fairy Fencer F's port is uniquely pure fucking shit. It barely runs at 30fps, the textures are grainy as hell, you HAVE to turn off shadow rendering for it to even run passably, it's filled with glitches, and worst of all, it crashes CONSTANTLY, without warning, seemingly at random. It's especially bad in certain dungeons, like the prison ones, one of which is the STARTING DUNGEON. Just recently I booted it up after a while and got a crash within five minutes. Most CH Switch ports aren't very good, but they're not THIS bad. It's to the point I would genuinely steer anyone interested in this game away from the Switch port no matter what, and I just recently double-dipped (something I rarely do) by getting the PC GOG version just so I could have a version that doesn't suck cocks on the regular. In spite of everything, I managed to beat it and clock four playthroughs because back then the Switch was all I had, but if I ever revisit it, I am DEFINITELY sticking with the PC version.
>>557010704It's a shame, because Fairy Fencer F was, along with Mary Skelter 2, one of the games that got me into Compile Heart. It's a genuinely great JRPG, full of fun characters, a solid, dramatic plot, Fang is a great lead, and replay value in the form of multiple routes. Compile Heart from 2015-2018 were really hitting their stride and honing their craft, releasing great game after great game in Fairy Fencer F, Neptunia VII, Mary Skelter, Mary Skelter 2, Moero Crystal, Castle Panzers and Death end re;Quest. Even the Neptunia spinoffs were at least passable and existed mainly as fanservice for those looking for more after clearing the mainlines, unlike SvS and Game;Maker which are seemingly trying to fill the shoes of a proper mainline and failing horribly. It really seemed like they might rise above their humble origins and become a solid if not great JRPG developer in their own right. Then the Sonypocalypse happened and knocked them flat on their ass, they shit out two of the worst Neptunia spinoffs in existence, the president jumped ship, and now their new guy is steering them onto the "global standards" train while pushing out gimmick game after gimmick game with vastly different identities each time. Modern Compile Heart feels like they're in the midst of an identity crisis; they don't want to, or feel they can't, be an otaku JRPG developer any more, but at the same time, that audience is all they have because they're held in such contempt by the mainstream.
>>557003284Doesn't stop it from being cringe, yuri bait kills fandoms, just ask old RWBY fans and old Touhou fans.>>557009661>I already hate seeing just the fan art. I know I'm not alone in this sentiment either, and thankfully Compile Heart seems to know that.I also hate ship art, mainly since it reminds me of the Tumblr Exodus and the Sonic DeviantArt eras, and general yuribaiting usually has to unnaturally force two characters to romance while already deviatung from their preestablished character. Sure, twitter tourists would cheer, but anything that's good for twitter tourists is bad for the actual fans.TLDR yuribait is the death of fandom and people who like it have no taste
>>557010503
Where did all of these namefags come from
i love my wife histoire
>>557012724I have a sneaking suspicion that they're the same person.
>>557009661>they push Blanc with Vert or someone else any more than they already dothey actually do that? i thought that that was basically invented by that nepnowa fan novel or whatever because otherwise blanc and vert would just get shoved to the sidelines. wish it'd still get updates, but oh wellalso yeah they should not go full yuribait beyond ironically ruining existing ships like nepnowa and blanc x vert by putting them into obvious yuribait situations that go catastrophically wrong, but unigear is cute and i wish they'd actually stick with it a little bit whenever they DO bring it up because so far, it's literally a single scene or a short miniarc and then they refuse to even reference it for the rest of the game. actual shipping would be stupid but Rom gets to keep her "interrogate, cross examine, brutalize!" thing while everyone just forgets that Nepgear was 100% going to take Uni for herself and, more notably, that this isn't even really brainwashing but rather is moreso those discs bringing out the worst of the respective characters
>>557012724>not filtering namefags
>>557017201Even if I do you're all going to reply to them like flies to honey
>>557015596I feel like I’m the only Nep fan who doesn’t like NepNowa on a purely personality standpoint. I just don’t see the two of them being good partners for each other and most of the scenes with the two of them in the games feel kinda forced. I can’t buy into the fantasy that these two characters have any real romantic feelings for each other that isn’t just some overused tsundere joke. Maybe it’s the fact I just don’t like Noire and find her incredibly bland she’s the diet coke of Neps. Vert x Blanc is also complete dog water for different reasons.
>>557018475I don't like NepNowa either.I only like Nowa x me.
>>557018114>flies>honey
>>557018475Neptune and Noire at most act like close friends. In RB1 Noire's perhaps apprehensive/tsundere about opening up to Neptune, but nothing explicitly romanticVert x Blanc is retarded and whoever thought of it should eat sand because there is ZERO romantic tension between them (Blanc is the target of the least lewd in general, since her main joke is breast envy anyways).Even Uni x Nepgear seems more just like a replication of Nepgear and Noire's friendship but just with less tsun and more friendship. I haven't played GM:R yet, so i'lls till entertain the idea, but I still dissagree for now.
>>557018475I don't like Nepnowa because they're not compatible at all. While they are friends, they are completely different in life philosophy, goals, etc. Noire can only really tolerate Nep's friendship in small bursts, but living together is definitely out of the question.Now Vert x Blanc is probably just born from "pairing the spares", that one HDN promotional illustration and Vert's occassional lolicon tendencies. Much like Nepnowa, they have nothing in common except the one thing all CPUs have in common.Besides Neptune is already taken by me
wake me up when neptember ends
>>557009674Compile Heart's code is even worse than Source spaghetti.>>557009661Let me guess... he left 'cause SK was getting censored left and right and he just wasn't able to make a new entry or remake an old one.
>>557032579iirc he actually worked on that kadanga jet girls game before switching studios to work on RPGs or something
>>557041772Iris Heart best Heart.
>>557042110Queen of All CPUs
>>557003641The original FFF version was greatThe ADF version sounds like ass though, the fuck was up with that reverb
>>557042456Needs spankings.
>>557043254Needs to be given Big Nep. Or Nitroplus.
>>557047429Hey grok, spank her
>>557018475>I can’t buy into the fantasy these two characters have any real romantic feelingsBecause they do not.
>>557018475Yeah we get it you ship Neptune with Blanc
>>557052412Ignore the yuritroon, disciples of Epstein, the lot of them
>>557054383I have been ignoring yurifags for over a decade, I do not think he is one of them.
>>557054650>Friendship between two girls>Immediately defaults to thinking about romantic feelings between them>Cries because he can't buy into the fantasy of them having "real romantic feelings"I don't know, you tell me.
>>557054925He responded to a post that mentioned them and ships were the topic at the time.
>>557055518Ok, as long as we everyone agrees that yuritroons get the rope
>>557056046I never liked yurifags so I will not be contesting this.
Yuri shall conquer the Earth
Threesome with Nep and Noire, except Noire gets ganged up on by me and Purple Heart and treated like an onahole
>>557059718Leave her the fuck alone faggot
>>557059354These stupid dykes do not belong here
>>557060509If and Compa are lesbians too
>>557060572No there're not, and anyway, the Compa yuribait doesn't go as far as them literally marrying each other in a game that has a male MC. Yikes, imagine two bitches in your harem going gay in front of you, how much of a failure as a man must you be?
>>557060751>IFjeet babbleRight on the money. You should considering roping yourself, yuritroon. You are one of them for liking IF.
>>557061807>You are one of them for liking IF.I have been a yurifag this whole time?
>>557062021Yes now kill yourself you dykefucker
>>557060509>I think these dyk-IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOU THINK, JABRONI!
>>557062221I would rather not. How can I appriciate Ai chan's charms if I am dead?
>>557060509Buckbroken
>>557009661Ninjas Wars really has White Hearts best design.Normally her skin tight suit highlights her underdeveloped chest in an almost gross way.But here it's better covered up and highlights her juicy tights instead. Which is better since her legs are her strong points. Ingame it also highlights her butt while running which is good in a game there you almost never see the characters from the front. The only White Heart where I don't need to fap out of pity.
Please say something sexual about this image
>>557065470Weak. Blanc's tiny chest is sexy. >>557065958Nepgear is cute and deserves hugs.
>>557015596>they actually do that?If you haven't noticed, the four Goddesses tend to get paired as designated "rivals". Noire is Neptune's designated rival, so that leaves Vert as Blanc's. Which is absolutely retarded from a real life industry perspective; at no point did Nintendo ever consider Xbox their primary competition and Xbox from the start was gunning for Playstation. With these designated rival pairs tends to come some level of yuribaiting. Most often NepNowa, which is even referenced in the games themselves. Blanc and Vert is (thankfully) much more muted, but it evidently comes up occasionally because fan artists latched onto it. For example, in Neptunia U, when not in a group with the other Goddesses, the only characters she interacts with are Rom/Ram and Vert and she has special quotes when tag-teamed with them, reflecting how Compile Heart views and has set up the character groups.>>557018475At least you can say Noire actually enjoys Neptune's company and Neptune (occasionally) does make an effort to be friendly with her in her own way. You cannot say the same for Blanc and Vert. Vert actively makes Blanc feel worse just by existing and 90% of their interactions just consist of Vert basically bullying her by poking at her most obvious source of insecurity. Blanc only begrudgingly tolerates her presence when the Goddesses are working together to solve a problem. I do not know how this became a ship or why Compile Heart thought it would be a good idea to pair these two and I genuinely wish they would stop it. I seriously hate their interactions and how one-sided they usually are. Blanc gets NOTHING out of being Vert's partner other than more insecurity and self-loathing and I fucking wish Blanc would just kill her already, she deserves it and Gamindustri would genuinely lose nothing from Leanbox falling, almost every bad practice in the modern industry can be traced right back to them.
>>557066576jfc my dude use some paragraph breaks
>>557067070That's how him and his Blancfag bf communicate with each other, he thinks everybody else enjoys those long ass paragraphs. Bruv, make your message shorter, ask chatGPT or some shit if you don't have enough IQ to do it yourself.
>>557067070>>557067361Why don't you acquire a basic level of literacy instead? If you can't read a few sentences without breaking them up, you're either lazy or dyslexic.
>>557065958The Purple Sisters feminine energy and innocent mannerism is contrasted by her sexy and provoking suit, leaving every man (that is not a Nepgear hater) with the desire to not just mastrubate but have sex with her. It's natural and if I didn't fap to Nepgears Mk2 suit last night I would proably do just that now.
Nepgear has just weirdos as fans. YikesNepgear has LA streamer energy
>>557067995You don't need to be Nepgears fan to want to have sex with her.
Nepgear owes me bootjobs.
>>557065470Ninja Wars has some of the best designs for everyone, period.>>557066576>spoilerIt is very weird considering Noire and Blanc are actually quite friendly to each other outside of Ultradimension. They both know each other's boundaries and try to not cross them, but even if they do it seems like they're doing it in good faith. It's such a rare pairing that the only times I see it come up is in pic rel, a drama CD, and that one time Blanc saved Noire from embarrassment at R-18 island.
>>557068872It also allows you to see Purple Heart for more than 3 seconds, even if she is goofy like normal Neptune in that game.
why do these generals still advertise that website in the op
>>557071005Because the gay Blancfag is still hoping his bf sees it and goes back home to his gay lovenest he has in that other site. He doesn't realize that his bf fucked off in order to not deal with his annoying ass anymore. Imagine having that mf as a "friend" and getting daily long ass paragraphs complaining about the new videogame censorship and using racists slurs every 3 sentences. Yikes bruv
>>557067501Plus even if you did, some dipshit would scream "REDDIT SPACING!" as if Reddit invented page break.
>>557066576>the nep and the irl company are one and the sameWhy do you always do this
>>557071005Because it's a genuinely great alternative with history behind it that also has mods/admins that actually give a shit instead of letting fucking projecting faggot retards like the post just below yours run rampant. >>557071404I am getting seriously tired of this game of you slandering me and him this way. I don't care if it's meant to be a joke or not. He was a friend whom I genuinely enjoyed talking to because for once I felt like I met someone who was on the same wavelength as me. He also made it clear he wasn't the type to just ghost someone without making it clear why first. Going off of my last communication with him, I have reason to believe he may have died of either disease or suicide. So how about you shut your fucking mouth already lest you speak ill of the dead?
>>557072136Gamindustri is a parody of the real-life game industry and the Goddesses are explicitly based on the real-life companies and their histories. So criticizing it for not accurately representing the thing it's parodying is fair game.
This winter is too long. I'm tired of writing essays on Neps bodyparts. But nothing better to do.
Bussin
seedance 2.0 is so good we can use it to generate nep anime...
>>557086814But will it be able to accurately depict my wife getting gangbanged with big cocks in each hole? This is critically important?
In case you're wondering- yes, I am a perverted coomer.
>>557082229why is she a meguca now
>>557073552The Creature cannot be reasoned with. He has no friends and he doesn't know what it feels like when one of them suddenly disappears. Don't let him get to you, let's hope for the best and just assume Blancbro decided to quit otaku stuff cold turkey with a good reason to do so without a proper goodbye.
>>557100443Poor Chika...
>>557073954>based onYes, based on.The chihuahua blancfag acts like it's a literal one-for-one when it's obviously not true.
>>557104078If they can reference something like Sony's censorship or Nintendo being ridiculously overprotective of their IPs, then something as major as who was actually competing with who is worth scrutinizing. It doesn't make sense for the Xbox gijinka to be the Nintendo gijinka's main rival when Nintendo and Xbox never had that kind of rivalry in real life.
My goth assassin girlfriend can't be this cute!
>>557106464I still don't understand why they gave Blanc A cup angst. Since that's the source of her beef with Vert, there has to be some really good reason for it.
>>557111019Because boobs funny
>>557111019>I still don't understand why they gave Blanc A cup angst. Since that's the source of her beef with Vert, there has to be some really good reason for it.The reason is pettanko. In anime it's a common as fuck trope for the flat girl to feel jealous and bitter towards the girl with the huge tits. It's just otaku humor.The truth is that Neptunia was actually made to pander to otakus, not to be accurate with the gaming history. Neptune should have been Blanc's rival and yet.......
>>557114038I guess when designing the characters, they realized that Blanc doesn't really have much of a reason to view Neptune as a rival, and just stuck with the breast envy thing
>>557066576>why Compile Heart thought it would be a good idea to pair these twoI might be wrong, but it always seemed to me like Vert and Blanc were supposed to be some mutually antagonistic comedy duo that, unlike Neptune and Noire, don't actually have any chemistry and really are just at each other's necks. I can kind of appreciate it considering that just about everyone else seemed to have buried the hatchet while those two will just never get along.
>>557114038>Neptune should have been Blanc's rivalBlanc was still consistently the most hostile towards Neptune initially in basically the entire trilogy (well, the first one might not really count, but they definitely made way more of a big deal of her being hostile over Noire and especially Vert). Even in 2, Ram continues the tradition, practically coming out swinging at Nepgear. Now that I think about it, Lowee basically played an antagonist role in literally the entire trilogy. Maybe that's the real reason NoA rejected it...
>>557102727She's gay bruv
>>557097017Look how nice you were to him and he just ignores you, see how the gay Blancfag is? For no reason I'd believe Blancfaggot would be a good person to be friends with. Always angry and negative. Dude just needs to chill and kneel to IF so he can become a better person. I'd 100% understand someone An Heroing themselves because of him. Imagine this mf in your DMs every single day
>>557111019Blanc has self-esteem issues in general. In Neptunia U, she tells Rom and Ram that she doesn't want them to grow up like her after they show too much enthusiasm towards her "Blanc the Berserker" story. In Victory/RB3, she freaks out so much at Lastation taking her shares in large part because she views it as invalidating her, like she's "not good enough" despite working so hard and basically giving up a normal life to make a nation worth living for her people, not helped by Noire's smug, dismissive attitude towards her. God I hate N**re so much.. I wish the writers would address this aspect of her more often instead of just reducing it down to breast insecurity like they often do.
>>557094768Because going through endless time loops to save your female friend is something gay bitches like Megucas do
>>557118815>I wish the writers would address this aspect of her more often instead of just reducing it down to breast insecurity like they often do.Same, I find Blanc to be the best written character, but I feel like the devs are baiting me with Blanc content like one of those turkish ice cream videos
>>557118698The only one who should die is you. If you can even consider the idea of someone moving on from this shithole, doing something with his life, and instead continue posting your stupid headcanon bullshit for years on end to literally 5 consistent posters on a malasian berry picking forum you're an absolutely irredeamble human being no different from the ants that no doubt crawl the dirt floor of your pakistani mudhut.
>>557118698>>557097017Just because I didn't want to waste a reply just to basically say "thank you" doesn't mean I didn't appreciate the sentiment. And he's right, you of all people wouldn't know how it feels for someone you'd genuinely call a friend to just fall completely silent one day, and after knowing he was in the hospital at that. It genuinely upsets me. Blancbro was the first time in a while I felt a true kinship with someone, only for it to be so short-lived. I want to believe he's all right and just taking a break to recover, but seriously, ALL his socials went dark at the same time...
hugging wifey's fairy body!
>>557119967Holy self projection, man. We are all in the same boat here, and also, don't forget, you're here forever.>>557120032Nobody cares about your gay relationships. There is a reason this is an anonymous website. The moment it leaves this general, it loses its meaning. You are not even supposed to make "deep" connections here, bruv. It's all on you for going gay for this other dude so you should only blame yourself and maybe stick to the rules next time? It's not that hard.
>>557120032>replyyou didn't have to, since neither of us crave attention, unlike a certain someone who's still throwing a bitch fit that's completely uncalled for.but i'm glad you did. please don't reply to the faggot just pretend he doesn't exist that paki nig absolutely crossed the line todayall lowercase because i'm posting in a -15°C air temp and strong wind with no gloves fucking frostbite is about to kill my hands
>>557121428Needs spankings.
>>557118815Yes, but what part of Nintendo is A cup angst, that was the point I was confused about.I get why Noire would be like that because PlayStation would have been seen as that arrogant youngster whom the old foggies in a Japanese company would absolutely hate. But why is Nintendo the one with insecurities when it has existed longer than most gaming companies?
I want to fuck Blanc's tight firm ass and cum all over it, then fuck Vert's massive tits and cum all over them too.
Lmao this is topical
Amazing
>Uni gets assaulted by the other candidates I almost feel bad, but honestly I’d let Nepgear molest me Here’s a blanc to complete the quadfecta
>>557130985Noire looks gropeable
Affimojas was a fun fight. Negating my damage unless it’s elemental for the first two bars? Hell yeah, that was cool-I had to rely on Blanc and Rom to do their Lily special multiple times for decent damage while PH and Nepgear worked to increase the EXE drive Thank you blanc
Let’s fucking gooooooMontage of achieving their NEXT forms? This is hype as hell
The next forms area really cool, and the Guardian Force skill is dope as hell (albeit im stupid and used it to while the general had his cape on). Why doesn’t Compa keep these forms for future games/spin offs?
To the finale!
>>557135867Why doesn’t Compa keep these forms for future games/spin offs?Because they definitively make the Goddesses superior to the Candidates, which upsets the narrative that the Candidates are supposed to be equal to if not superior to the Goddesses, so for the sake of continuing to shill the Candidates, they had to go. Even in this very game, Compa clearly had regrets, which you're going to see very soon when they have the Goddesses job in the most contrived manner just to give Shitgear a "redemption arc" to apologize to her whiny faggot fans for (rightfully) making her into a side character in Victory.
>>557136774>Why doesn’t Compa keep these forms for future games/spin offs?Forgot the greentext arrow because I'm about to go to bed.
>level 999 recommended for the coliseum >there’s a level 999 to begin with NOOOOOOOOOO NOT THE GRIND >>557136774>disrupt the narrative that the candidates are equal to the CPUs proper >make the goddesses job laterThat’s kinda shitty. I get that adding in the new forms would obviously make the goddesses the stronger versions compared to the candidates, but there is no need to backtrack on that. That’s just stupid, and if Compa wanted to give the candidates some more relevancy, just give them a new form like they did the goddesses so at the end of the day, they’re all equal. Man, that’s just disheartening though-the next forms is the logical next step for the goddesses, but to have it never be acknowledged in future games? Man…
>>557135867I feel like the NEXT forms would have kind of solved SvS instantly. Jobbing to Arfoire feels kind of a step down (infinite shares or no) when Rei could move dimensions at will and still lost. Hell, the CPUs returning during a pandem- crisis and saving the candidates sounds exactly like the kind of thing that would give them enough shares to go NEXT.
>>557137145>just give them a new form like they did the goddesses so at the end of the dayThey can't, not without breaking a pretty important rule for the setting. The NEXT forms exist to, per the naming, represent the next generation of consoles at the time of VII's release. So NEXT White, NEXT Black, and NEXT Green represent the Wii U, PS4 and Xbox One respectively (with NEXT Purple as a wild card as usual because Planeptune is already based on a hypothetical SEGA already). But the 3DS and Vita never got proper successors; the Switch is a hybrid console, and Sony discontinued their handheld division entirely (the PS Portal is little more than an accessory to the PS5 rather than a console in its own right). So there's nothing to base NEXT forms for the Candidates on.>level 999 recommended for the coliseumI don't recommend VII's postgame besides Senmuu Labyrinth and maybe Neplunker Zero if you have the patience for it. IFI never bothered to bring over the last update patch for the Japanese version, so the Big Metal Dogoo doesn't give nearly enough EXP to get to level 999 in a timely manner, and even if you do, damage scaling for skills past level 99 is broken, making them way underpowered and thus making Colosseum fights way harder and take way longer than they need to (and making the Giant battles nearly impossible).
>>557135867keep in mind that afaik the only game that actually takes place in the mainline after V2 is SvS, which completely changes how HDD works and doesn't let you customize it so naturally they just went with the default looks. The only game that even has the same HDD mechanics as V2 after it is IF's game, and unless they show up later, the other goddesses besides Neptune and Nepgear don't even show up.
>>557137747Yeah that’s fair; the successor for handhelds is legit just the switch and the steam deck at this point. Rip the candidates then. But I feel that, for the goddesses, they should always be stronger than the candidates until they step down. I view it (probably most likely headcanon) that if the goddess of a nation was deleted, the candidate becomes a fully fledged goddess and their HDD form gets upgraded to reflect that status and becomes the new face of the console, with their current HDD form being just a power up rather than the idealized form of a nation. Just a thought there.Also I was previously informed that skills are weaker than EXE attacks by a friend but I did not realize that skills were actually broken. What the fuck Compa.
>>557137747If anything, CH writers can leverage the fact handhelds can be used to stream games and make it so that the Candidates can't use their more powerful forms without support from their older sisters.
>>557138396Stop changing my gameplay mechanics so much please it’s ruining my muscle memory. A pity to hear that but it is what it is…
>>557139330>Multiple Unifags, myself includedHow do we distinguish eachother?
>>557140404I’m a neptuniafag I like everyone
NEXT forms were probably never brought back because they’re just not that interesting from a story or gameplay perspective. What do the NEXT forms seriously add to VII that justifies their existence. An idea I had to maybe help fix the issue is to give each of the NEXT forms unique super powerful reality altering abilities like for example maybe NEXT purple can gain the ability to tear holes in reality that allow for extended travel between dimensions but then have major drawbacks such as making the goddess incredibly weak after using NEXT and unable to use even regular HDD for an extended period of time. Gameplay wise give major stat buffs and more than one new skill in NEXT form but make it only last a certain number of turns before turning them back to normal and getting temporary debuffs. I wanna know what ideas you all have for making NEXT forms actually interesting cause clearly compa and iffy haven’t got a damn clue on what to do with them. It actually reminds me a lot of hyper sonic for some reason.
>the CPUs are kidnapped again
>>557139330for some reason, ever since they started making beat-em-up rpgs, they became dedicated to changing the gameplay entirely specifically every 2 installments. I don't really understand why. The new mainline MIGHT use the original turn-based system, but i doubt it considering it's been over a decade since they used it, back in sega hard girls.tangentially, i am just now finding out that the sega hard girls aren't actually original Neptunia characters and actually part of some multimedia project.
>>557142891I told you. One of the absolute worst and most retarded plot contrivances in the series, right after the Goddesses just got a cool new powerup, all just so they could "apologize" to Nepgear and her fags. I keep saying it, but the way they keep doing this has made me seriously resent the Candidates. And even after you rescue the Goddesses, the next fight disables the NEXT forms because somehow being embarrassed is enough to make the Goddesses lose their powers now. God, for being arguably the biggest marketing point, the NEXT forms were used so poorly in VII. It really comes off like they regretted making them because they knew they upset the balance and the narrative for the Candidates they created with Mk2.
I wonder if they regret making them literal goddesses rather than just more normal queens/presidents/dictators/etc.
Watch them get captured again in Nep 5 whenever that releases lol.
>>557143329I like the three act structure a bit of the game, but it’s really weird that the penultimate finale has the goddesses get got by Uzume when it shows that Next PH can just do some whacky shit due to the power, which detracts from the epicness of the previous part. It’s strange-you’d think the NEXT forms would be the focus in the finale but seems as though that that’s not the case.Unrelated, but I did not realize that Uni is so goddamn strong. Have a team without her? B-Sha kills my team. Have Uni in the team? Able to one try the rest of Gold Third (maybe due to how insane Uni is in generating Exe)
>>557143571Wonder what kind of plot nep 5 is going to be. Post apocalypse kind of deal due to the whole console war shtick being long forgotten?
Sexy Neptune will be posted until morale improves
Childhood is hating Iris heart for being an evil Rapist Mary Sue character.Growing up is realizing she had the purest heart of all. Her whole deal is she hard counters dishonest people. Which was the entire original cast so she seemed a little too dominant. But notice her effectiveness fell of against people with pure soul like Compa, Peashy even villains like Anonydeath, Rei, Abnes gave no shits.
>>557152818Needs spankings.
She cute
UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES
Friday night's orgy has been rescheduled for Saturday- Valentines day! It will be a very special occasion, and I hope to see all you neppers and your waifus there!
>>557163610Marvy is a Senran
>>557164771>Marvy is a Sen-OBJECTION!
>>557164771>sighYou keep spamming that, and you keep getting violently debunked everytime. That's just embarassing to watch at this point, your fetish self-humiliation ritual...
>>557151269>>557159334There is not enough sexy Nep to improve morale unfortunately...
>>557143329Pic related is always how I will feel about that scene. But I don't think the Candidates should get any scorn for it. It's not like they were in the writing room. Yes, the booking was done to make them look strong and get them over; but I still don't think that's their fault.>>557145109Forget about the NEXT Forms, you can't even use HDD in that fight IIRC from my one playthrough of VIIR (I went with the Candidate route in vanilla and never replayed it)
>557164771Sorry bruv, I can't find Marvy on the Kagurapedia, there must be some mistake...
I'm tired of waging. Save me, Uni...
>>557167219I'm tired of starving. I wish I could wage like you.
>>557167219What are you hoping she will do?
>>557120868All neppers here are so deep...Why do we talk? Are we searching for connection? And if we don't, why do we post?Are we nothing? Are we anonymous? Do I dissapear if I leave this thread? Are our feelings real? Are they too strong, too weak? Even real or a troll? Is my post sincere or not? And most importantly: Will the Blancfag find another person to talk to about Blanc? Time tells a story without mercy... Are cat ninjas boobs too big or is everone else boobs just to small?
>>557163610But isn't that orgy just in your head? It's not even horny posting. You're just pretending other neppers visit you in real life even through that doesn't happen.
>>557177285Let a nepper have some fun, anon.
>>557171706Who is this whore?
Neptunia school bullies
>>557178442Announcing fun events that don't exist just leads to confusion.
>>557180534Yeah this mf is on the spectrum
>>557143329Wasn't NEXT form reached with a special share cyrstal? Maybe it's not permanent.
>>557143329You have to realize that the Goddesses in Neptunia have become like Zelda, in legend of Zelda. They are the important character you have to save and my hero Nepgear will overcome her doubts (for 5 minutes) and do that.
>>557183980The Hyper Share Crystal is just a regular Share Crystal charged with Gold Third's energies, and "Gold Third energy" itself is just regular Share energy run through an adapter (the Gold Towers) to convert it into a form Gold Third can use. So for all intents and purposes, it's just a really strong Share Crystal and the NEXT forms are available throughout the entire game at will afterwards, suggesting it's supposed to be a permanent upgrade. I think Compa just cucked out for reasons already stated.
Gameplay wise I barely used NEXT form, it doesn't really close level gaps and takes two transformation sequences to get there. And your super special attack forces you back to base form. It's just impractical. Next Purple not having elemental attacks making her useless during the debut is just the icing...It's a failed concept....
>>557186430HDD in general is pretty bad in VII. The stat boosts are paltry even with the upgraded Processors (unless you use the DLC processors which are generic and look ABSOLUTELY HIDEOUS) and you have to get to NEXT form to get the same boosts to skill power that came with just regular HDD in the Re;Birth games. So you effectively need two turns just to get the same benefits as previous games. Meanwhile, Gold Third's Gold forms seem to just apply a flat damage multiplier across the board, which ironically makes them much better despite being much simpler and less flashy.Debuting them against Affimojas was also indeed a rather bad idea. He's the first enemy that has immunity to non-elemental attacks (unless you destroy his cape which takes way too long). You likely used Rom and Ram to take him down in the first fight, but the second fight which is supposed to showcase the power of the NEXT forms and narratively is a complete stomp ironically ends up being harder purely because the Goddesses don't have good elemental options aside from Vert. On a greater scale, this is really the fault of VII changing the way elemental attacks work so that most "elemental" attacks are only half-elemental at best and only a handful of characters actually have true elemental options, and even less have the INT to make use of them. It effectively leaves Rom and Ram with a monopoly over elemental damage. I've said it before, but production values aside, VII is actually a step back from the Re;Birth games in many ways.

>>557211262I fucking wish I looked like that.
What did Compile Heart mean by this?
>>557184716the main pain i feel in Nepgear's arc is that after mk2, she reverts to default like Ash's Pikachu in V, and becoming the gag punching bag kinda kneecapped her character growth. Despite growing a spine in the last game, she kinda... forgets all that growth in the next game.
How nice of Japanese companies to remind me when I might be getting my hopes up that no, they're still sworn to globohomo and Based Japan is never coming back.Fuck Koei Tecmo, you fucking sellouts! Can't wait for them to piss on Itagaki's grave before the body's even cold.
>>557225113I mean I already knew Japan is garbage butWhat have they done now?
>>557225995They're reviving Dead or Alive.Odds of it not being the biggest monkey's paw in history are less than 10%.
>>557226334HOLY KINO!!!Maybe I'm being naive but I might cry of happiness over this. I missed the DOA girls so much!Let's pray and hope they don't fuck this up.
>>557145794better not, they already used that theme for 4, a bit in SHG, and in the beginning of GM:R>>557152818i'll never get why anyone could really hate plutia, she's basically a joke character through and through that occasionally steals the scene does something important>>557187592honestly, i think that 1 and 2 are probably the best games. also ditching plans was a stupid idea imo>>557226334why get mad already? isnt it a good sign that they're even trying?
>>557232408I just watched the teaser trailer from the State of Gay and it even has a nice shot of Kasumi's cleavage. That alone gives me hope.
>>557232408The WEF pin guy alone is already a bad sign. Then there's the fact that Koei Tecmo has an official policy of not releasing anything too ecchi in the west even when they're not physically being blocked (e.g., DOA Prism, and that was much tamer than the Xtreme games). So the fact that they're seemingly releasing these games in the west means either a). they lifted that policy or b). they're already neutered to be CORE VALUES friendly the same way Dead or Alive 6 was and Koei Tecmo expects less backlash this time due to zoomers being mindbroken by MeToo and DOAfags being desperate to support anything they shit out, especially if they do some "in memory of Itagaki" stunt.

>>557250545Nigger, that outfit is pretty basic. Remove the chest undercloth so it exposes flat cleavage and then it might be something worth mentioning. I know you're desperate for a win, but we had shit like this a decade ago. Look at this delicious microbikini and jiggle physics.
>>557255705Moving the goal post? The point was Sony was fine showing Marie fucking Rose in a skeevy outfit on their normie stream and feature it as a screenshot on the store page. If we were still in like 2020-2023 they wouldn't have shown DoA at all.https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/JP0106-PPSA34363_00-APPDOA6LR0000001LR itself will have new costumes and they are pushing her pretty hard, the only pre order outfit is for her.
>>557256105>The point was Sony was fine showing a basic bitch safe outfit (yes it is, don't kid yourself) that I absolutely need to pretend is the pinnacle of fanservice so I can jump on the SONY'S TOTALLY BACK bandwagonThe only reason they're even doing this is because Itagaki died and there was an outpour from the media for him.

Happy Valentine's Day to /nepgen/, and to my beloved goddess of a valentine Blanc. >>557395252>i think that blanc basically got her personality split in 2 for the twinsPerhaps on a surface level, but I don't like this view of her or Rom/Ram since it feeds too many negative interpretations. Blanc is not supposed to just be Rom+Ram, and Rom and Ram together are not a match or replacement for her. The brats if anything are just simplifications of her. Ram in particular doesn't act remotely "aggressive" like Blanc/White Heart does and is just as timid as Rom when push comes to shove, she's just bratty.>spoilerIt's called the Generation Processor, and yes, it's available in the shop once you get the True Ending (or right when you get the Candidates). It'll cost you a pretty penny, though.
The twins being basically the surface level version of Blanc's two sides does make sense if you consider the DS is basically a portable N64 and the 3DS is basically a portable Wii/GC

>>557439464Personally I just don't celebrate Valentines. To me this is just a normal saturday, I don't feel neither angry nor depressed, I'm just indifferent towards Valentines.I am like this because it makes me feel like I'm better than those bitter unfuckable femcels who spend Valentines crying and shitting on happy couples out there.>I was paid to revive another UniBASED
>>557441028Maybe that's the best way to go about it. Personally, I celebrate it with co-op vidya, nice diner and three cans of 7% alc.vol. beer.
>>557439464I've been playing Fairy Fencer F on PC. It runs SO much better than the Switch version that it's not even funny. Still, there has been some minor graphical glitches here and there. I heard there was crashing issues too, but I haven't had one yet. Maybe I should be playing a Neptunia game instead, you know, for Blanc, but I only just started Re;Birth 1 a few days ago and I'm not even at Lowee yet. I suppose I could also play LoveR Kiss, a fitting game for Valentine's, but it wouldn't feel right to play that on a day I should be dedicating to Blanc.Sometimes I feel that I don't do enough for her.
>>557448759>Sometimes I feel that I don't do enough for her.Not gonna lie, you're one of the most devout waifufags out there, so that's just not true.>Fairy Fencer FNot surprised that it runs really bad on Switch unless you ask Arfoire for help and overclock yours. Maybe you should modchip your Switch if you play a lot of Compage. How well does it fare against Neptunia? Are there any noticeable differences in the gameplay? Do you like the character designs?>LoveR Kiss>Photography dating simThe idea reminded me of HDN PP (because of the camera angle switch feature) and now I crave a Nep dating sim more than I should be.
>>557396028I think that the twins are supposed to be the extremes of Blanc's personality, namely when she's either sitting in the corner reading a book while everybody else acts retarded or when she's singlehandedly driving up the age rating as white heart>>557416283I personally think that the candidates are supposed to show the influences that the goddesses have on people and their sisters, like Nepgear has to be more reliable because her sister isn't, but also is more insecure because she's sometimes forced to fill the shoes of the protagonist who singlehandedly resolved a centuries long deathmatch through her sheer lovable retard energy alone and Nepgear just doesn't have that because she has to compensate for Neptune normally, Uni is somewhat insecure and always trying to do better because her sister is a loner workaholic and she picked up that she has to be strong enough to able to do everything by herself, and Rom and Ram basically got the different extremes of Blanc's personality. I wouldn't be surprised if Ram was influenced by White Heart specifically while Rom was influenced by Blanc's normal personality, kind of like how I think Nepgear's trying to be somewhere in between Neptune's normal and HDD personalities, and Ram probably became more aggressive and domineering because she was trying to fill her sister's role when she went missing back in mk2(she's not so much now but during mk2 and the beginning of mk3 she was mean and ready to SCRAP)
>>557455485Again, I would not be surprised if that was the intention but that is not the reality. The most hostile she ever is her introduction and even then she is not comparable to an angry Blanc, or at least not in the En script. Especially not the Blanc of the day. I knew fuck all Japanese back then and trusted that what I was getting was mostly accurate so I cannot say how Ram is originally.
>>557456014i think it's a different kind of hostility to what blanc has. blanc's very independent and just about always ready to scrap, but she's willing to work with others and is a genuine comrade in arms. Ram, though? she saw Nepgear trying to save her sister from a kidnapper and her only response to it was "you sucked at it, piss off and don't come back". she already decided that nepgear was the enemy and, no matter what, she just was not willing to even just work with nepgear and the rest as a temporary ally for common goals because she was trying to emulate blanc and what she thought blanc would want her to do. she practically had to be goaded by rom at the very last second to help nepgear when she was already out trying to save all of their sisters and was honestly just about to die trying. i might just be misremembering or reading too much into it, but i think it's interesting when you look at mk2 and the candidates' behavior in it as the negative influences that the goddesses have on their sisters, and how they overcome it.
>>557401659I like to watch saar>>557430456Yes that's me saar
>>557457014Honestly my first thought when I saw this was to say that Blanc was not at all willing to help but then I remembered I was thinking of a different one, so I guess you could say Ram was channeling 2010 Blanc a bit actually. Ram just ended up being more bitchy about it, in English at least. I would still not call Ram Blanc's rage but Ram did inherit Blanc's staunch refusal to help the Nep for a while.>mk2 and the candidates' behavior in it as the negative influences that the goddesses have on their sistersDoes seem interesting when put this way but they ended up getting poorly influence in other ways in the future anyway. Gear and Uni at least. Ram and Rom just never grow but anger aside, which she barely shows these days, I cannot think of much about Blanc that could be considered a bad influence.>>557459385You make three then, whoever you are.

>>557460872my memories of re:birth 1 are kinda fuzzy, but iirc Blanc just had to be convinced to help because she naturally didn't trust her enemies showing up out of the blue with an olive branch and trying to become best buds. the big difference is that Blanc could be convinced, Ram just wasn't going to hear it even when they literally saved her sister from a kidnapper and Rom was attesting to Nepgear's good nature, and Nepgear never had any bad blood towards the twins to begin with, unlike Purple Heart in the Console Wars. I think that the big difference is that while Blanc shown the standoffishness that Ram did, she also had the temperance and wisdom to trust others when they proved themselves and their interests aligned. Ram completely missed out on this, both because she's simply too young to be capable of doing this and also because all of the empathetic traits ended up showing themselves in Rom instead, which causes a problem because Rom isn't assertive like Ram is and Ram is only finding out about Nepgear's character from a secondhand source, namely from Rom whom she was trying to act as a big sister to because their actual big sister was gone and someone had to step up. This isn't to say that they are literally two halves of Blanc, but the extremes of her attitudes tempered and twisted, shown most at the finale of Lowee's arcs when, while Blanc was willing to ally to fight because she loved her kingdom far more than she hated her enemies, Ram would still refuse to fight because of her distrust and her emulating Blanc's independent streak to an extreme. I think it's basically similar to Uni where they had their idolized versions of their sisters in mind and ultimately tried emulating them in the worst ways, unwilling to compromise for the circumstances unlike what their sisters did.also sorry for the massive paragraph
>>557461480I am up late scamming people saar
>>557462107I remember even less about Re;Birth 1 so I cannot really talk about that one, I am drawing a blank on the goddess recruitment in that game too.Going off of memory I want to say rather than Ram being unable to be convinced she was refusing to acknowledge the facts because she was angry at Nepgear for coming back alone and not being strong enough to stop them from being captured. Maybe even angry at herself a little because she probably would not have done much better.>unwilling to compromise for the circumstancesI do wonder if there was much compromise for those versions of them, I do not remember there being much animosity between the original goddesses but I have not touched Re;Birth 2 in over a decade.>sorry for the massive paragraphBarely awake but it is fine.>>557462472Go to bed, man. It is almost ten to three.
>>557464265The original HDN was where they really hated each other. Mk2/RB2 it isn't really explicitly stated that they hate each other but they kick off that game by working together to defeat a common threat (which they infamously failed because ASIC had hella shares by that point).
>>557464265>Maybe even angry at herself a little because she probably would not have done much better.I was actually typing a reply to your previous post to say that I don't actually think the sisters were bad influences, but that the influences they do have cause mixed results. In Blanc's case, she was actually amazing, letting the twins grow up "as kids" and naturally mature to be able to take the reins, but they lost her too early. I might be mistaken, but I noticed that while Uni made a big deal about doing quests to become stronger so she could save her sister, Ram seemed almost exclusively focused on Rom, leading me to believe that she actually recognized her limitations and decided to fully focus on trying to "raise" Rom as some quasi-big sister, leaving the administration of Lowee to more competent people, with the unfortunate effect that Ram probably effectively considered Blanc dead. I think that that's really why she refused to help Nepgear until the end when Rom practically forced her to, because she had already given up and was trying to be a big sister, only being forced to change when Rom began defying her and it became abundantly clear that, no matter how much she tries, she'll never be able to replace her. The game ultimately shows that Ram was wrong because she kicks fucking ass and was far more effective at trying to save her sister than she ever was trying to raise Rom.>I do not remember there being much animosity between the original goddesses but I have not touched Re;Birth 2 in over a decade.I'm somewhat working under the assumption that something akin to HDN1/RB1 happened prior to RB2, but the more important point is that the original goddesses were capable of changing to work together while the candidates idolized their older sisters' independence so much that they were unable to do so for various reasons.(besides Nepgear)
>>557450926>Not gonna lie, you're one of the most devout waifufags out there, so that's just not true.Well, when other waifufags are baking cakes and making shrines for their beloveds, it's hard not to feel a little inadequate...>How well does it fare against Neptunia? Are there any noticeable differences in the gameplay? Do you like the character designs?The battle system is another take on Victory's system, with a few caveats that I feel make it work better. You can have up to six characters active at a time, and switching doesn't use a turn. You can launch enemies and attack them in midair. Transforming is much harder than in Neptunia games and has to be earned, but it's also much more powerful. Every character has a unique action/skill to help set them apart.The story is a more shonen-esque one with Neptunia-style humor. Fang is a genuinely great protagonist who is both entertaining and develops over the course of the story. Sherman is another great character once you see his various sides throughout the routes.Speaking of, the game has three story routes, which I think is its biggest draw. You get to see different sides of each character and how they would be in different circumstances. I'm an absolute sucker for this, it's a large part of why I loved Fire Emblem Three Houses. NG+ is not only encouraged but mandatory to enter the third route, so there is absolutely replay value there.Designs aren't quite as overtly SEXO as Neptunia characters (except Harley) but they're cool and carry over the mecha musume theming from Neptunia.Overall, Fairy Fencer F is, along with Mary Skelter 2, the game that put Compile Heart on my radar. >LoveR KissFun fact; it has an unironic, no-strings-attached loli option as well (Rinze Himenogi). She was probably half the reason it got banned from Steam. God I hate Valve's faggotry.
>>557450926>and now I crave a Nep dating sim more than I should beI've always wanted this, or for a Neptunia JRPG to have dating sim mechanics. But I think Compile Heart are hesitant to do it because Neptunia has always tried to balance yuribaiting and waifubaiting, and you saw how the former crowd reacted to the Secretary in Hyperdevotion. I like dating sim mechanics in JRPGs in general not just because of waifufagging and fuzzy feelings but also because I like the idea of love blossoming on the battlefield and the concept of the Battle Couple (as the trope websites call it) in general. Fire Emblem Awakening probably put this into me.>but anger aside, which she barely shows these daysI hate that you're right with this observation. They've been steadily sanding the edges off of Blanc since (and possibly because of) Victory. Too many people evidently had the wrong takeaway from *that* scene and wanted her to be more demure. >I cannot think of much about Blanc that could be considered a bad influence.Blanc herself evidently considers herself at least somewhat of a bad influence. It's probably tied to her self-esteem issues in general, but she snaps back at Rom and Ram in Neptunia U over admiring her "Blanc the Berserker" story too much, and the pause screen descriptions call it a critical flaw of hers that she has to work on (contrast with Noire who is literally unironically called flawless and the strongest CPU. Seriously, I'm not kidding when I say when you open your eyes to it, you will realize how this series constantly shills Noire. It's annoying as hell, she's a borderline Mary Sue).
>>557469127>>557460872
>>557469127>pause screen descriptionsMeant to say loading screen descriptions.
>>557469127Doesn’t the inciting incident in both versions of the first game require neptune to be the strongest CPU in order to make any sense? I will agree with you on the devs being D1 noire glazers despite her being the 3rd worst main character in this franchise.
I have captured your beloved blanc. If you want her to be free, I require either marriage with Ram or Nep blowjobs
>>557469127>contrast with Noire who is literally unironically called flawless and the strongest CPU. Seriously, I'm not kidding when I say when you open your eyes to it, you will realize how this series constantly shills Noire.I can never understand why you think this. Noire has fucked up majorly several times too you know. Got her entire nation's government overthrown in Rebirth 1 (worst fuck up of the 4 btw), got hacked by Anonydeath because she was way too overconfident, specifically stated that her nation's people have the worst teamwork in VII (a sign of poor governance and discipline), almost lost to that dragon in the anime, lost all her generals in her own game, was too weak to save her people in SvS (literally needed to be babysat while Blanc singlehanded evacuated all of her frozen citizens to safety), etc.But we're never going to agree on this point anyway so you don't have to reply to me.
>>557467437>Well, when other waifufags are baking cakes and making shrines for their beloveds, it's hard not to feel a little inadequate...You don't have to worry about what other people do. People have their own ways of showing love. Who's to say yours isn't as valid as theirs?
>>557467437>it's hard not to feel a little inadequate...We all express our love in our own way. I don't know whether or not she would be understanding, freak out, or wear Melty Chocolate outfit to get you to spend Valentine's Day with her https://youtube.com/shorts/zWFZJm0jPs0... but you shouldn't be hard on yourself as long as you're honest and understanding because that's what matters the most, for her, I think.(At the very least, it does to UD Blanc because that's how she reacts to dialogue options in NepPP... you get the best stat increase if you respect those values of hers.
>>557439464Here she is, fully restored.
>>557479446>Doesn’t the inciting incident in both versions of the first game require neptune to be the strongest CPU in order to make any sense?it requires her to be the most obnoxious, which by god she is>>557469127it will never happen honestly, what i REALLY want is a neptunia isekai where you get transported to gamindustri and meet and make a party with a bunch of the side characters from the games and find out what the lives of the common folk is like. the main cast should only appear distantly besides Iffy and Compa, who join your party when they catch wind that you just popped in randomly and seem to know more about gamindustri than you probably should and are a little too much of a big shot considering how you came out of nowhere. goddesses should be largely absent until the finale of the game where you actually do something major to indirectly weaken some evil force like ASIC, and then the goddesses actually take the fight to them and win, completely oblivious to your contributions. meeting them informally by chance would be fine but i dont think they should ever formally join your party
>>557469127>flawless and the strongest CPUi kinda agree noire is in concept but in execution her extreme loner attitude(which, granted, is why she's so many leagues above) ends up backfiring every time, because unlike Neptune, she didn't realize that your lone strength is way less important than your connections that can alleviate your shortcomings and team up against whatever troubles you, often literally. seriously, Neptune knows what's up, she knows to gang up AT MINUMUM 5 on 1 against whatever the big bad is, preferably 8 or more like in RB1's caseimo Blanc is probably the most well rounded CPU currently, but Nepgear will probably end up more well rounded than anyone just because she's more reliable because of her sister's bad influence and also because she can round up a posse to kick some ass because of her sister's good influence

I cannot imagine JP fans would have been so incensed by her getting angry three games in to the point of demanding that part of her be changed. We did not matter back then but EN fans seemed to love that side of her too, I certainly do.>that sceneYou will have to refresh my memory, though I doubt anything she ever said would make me think "She needed to get angry less.", especially since I miss it now.>Blanc herself evidently considers herself at least somewhat of a bad influenceWhen it comes to her good points, Blanc is blind. It is almost entirely on her lack of self esteem but objectively there is just not much there. Beyond the rare shows of anger, all that comes to mind is the BL she apparently writes now. Back in the day she just used to write shitty isekai and power fantasy stories and you cannot say being bad at writing is a bad influence.>she's a borderline Mary SueConvincing me of this is going to be an uphill battle, I am afraid. There are just too many instances of Noire being the butt of the joke and failing. She certainly tries to be perfect and projects that image outwards but Noire is pretty dumb honestly. She does get a lot of attention from the devs, sure and I would like that to spread more evenly but it makes sense for them to focus on her when she is second to Neptune in terms of popularity.
>>557483008>Nep blowjobsWhen I talk about this, I mean all of them. There is a disheartening lack of it for this series.>>557501110Part of me wants to say if Ai chan and Compa are getting involved then Neptune and Gear would be as well but they have been doing their own thing for a bit now so I guess it would be believable. Seems like a cool idea but I would prefer we not rely on ASIC again.
>>557521734The history lesson about Ram is quite interesting.Western fans preferring the angry girl is nothing new but the japs preferring the demure girl not new either.I strive to live like Noire, the time you spend with other is hardly used usefully after all. But I'm so isolated I can't even make money.
>>557524461If there was nothing but anger to her I wager nobody would have liked her. Still even if loads of Japs prefering quiet girls they were already familiar with Blanc so it should not have been a deal breaker by that point.I am in the process of selling my soul to the government so that will be me set financially for a while, assuming I actually get hired. Things are actually looking good for once though. What kind of work can you do and what is available around you?
>>557526601The job is just an example for my soicalphobia. I would never go to new places on my own. I don't even have an email adress because I don't want to be found. Since 4chan doesn't require any regristation it's my only outlet.
>>557528005Oh, I thought you were complaining about living in the middle of nowhere.
