      @LeonGun8 Před 5 lety +21

      The original Neptunia had a great concept. It was just destroyed by horrible gameplay mechanics. I still like the Re;Birth version of HDN1, but it kind of lost something that the original had (though I still like that Neptune was a lot less of an asshole than during the original Victory).
      In terms of story the only mainline Neptunia that dropped the ball hard was Neptunia Victory. Victory II was just great all around, mk2 had an entertaining new concept as a soft reboot of the franchise, and of course the original Neptunia had a pretty well done story that reallyplayed to the strenght of the whole idea of "console wars". But Victory never knew what it wanted to be other than just trite S&M jokes, overpowered Mary Sues and just a bland concept overall.

      Re;Birth 1 takes place in the Superdimension. Re;Birth 2 has that canon universe because it IS the Hyperdimension. So of course when it is the main storyline, it is the most canon.

    • @LeonGun8
      @LeonGun8 Před 5 lety +10

      They are all canon basically. But I think what he truly wanted to say was that neither Neptunia 1 nor Re;Birth 1 are part of the mainline Hyperdimension games. They are part of the Superdimension storyline. And the other spin-off titles fall on the same pattern,although I think Four Goddesses Online takes part in the Hyperdimension (the Cyberdimension is just to refer that they are playing an MMORPG).

    For someone that wants to see the evolution of the franchise, I'd say that playing the base PS3/4 games is a good way to go. If you're okay with repetition, then re:birth is an acceptable option. I'd say to only play the spin offs if you really love the characters in the franchise.
    Other acceptable option would be Re:birth 1 and then PS3 for Mk2 and V, but that's mainly because I like Gust and Nisa.

    Despite being a remaster, the "R" in "VIIR" is actually stands for "Revisited." That's why the game starts assuming that we played "VII" before.

  • @Methrael
    @Methrael Před 6 lety +16

    I agree - best place to start is Neptunia Re:Birth 1 for the character introductions. There's a concurrent storyline between Re:Birth 2, Re:Birth 3 and either version of VII in which Re:Birth 1's timeline is unrelated in it, but starting Re:Birth 2 without already being acquainted with the characters is a bit of a rough introduction. You don't care enough about the goddesses yet to have any form of feeling when you see they're kidnapped.
    Always great to find a fellow Nep fan. I literally owe Neptunia a lot in my life, and that isn't an exaggeration.

    I'm curious on others' thoughts on Fairy Fencer F. It feels very similar to Victory and the Re;Birth games, with similar dungeon designs, reused textures, and some reused enemy designs. It's got a similar combat mechanic, the same transformation mechanic, and similar humor and storytelling style. The only thing that really sets it apart from the Neptunia games are the characters and story. It feels kind of like a spin-off or side story to me. I'd recommend it to any Neptunia fan if they may have overlooked it.

    I love this series so much. Last summer I binged Rebirth 1-3 and then played V2 on the PS4. I would absolutely recommend the list you gave with how to start. I tell people to start with 1 but you can skip it if you want since it's very grindy and the story is not the best. (The first boss fight in Rebirth 1 is infamous for being the hardest boss fight in the entire series) But once you get past that, it's smooth sailing. I love Rebirth 2 but Rebirth 3 and V2 are my favorites in terms of main entries due to their interesting/funny stories and all the new wacky characters that get introduced. In terms of spin offs, Noire's game is a surprisingly excellent tactics RPG that is great for newcomers to that genre and veterans. I really enjoyed the zombie game too because the story is hilarious. Sega Hard Girls kinda fell flat for me because the combat system is so easy to break and the game is not hard at all. I have not played Producing Perfection and I also didn't like the repetitive/no story of Hyperdimension U: Action Unleashed. I really need to play Cyberdimension because there are a ton of positive reviews for that and I'm super pumped for Super Neptunia RPG.

  • @Ghalion666
    @Ghalion666 Před 6 lety +5

    Whoah! Good job! You actually acknowledged the superior lore/story/world of the original original! I also think it's what made Noire the fan favorite character back in the day, she had a much deeper personality. But after that she becomes nothing but a memebait tsundere or something, really quite sad. She'll be my fave character because of the original. I also liked how while the original had some of the mascot enemies like dagoos and pixelvaders, not every single enemy was a cute little game mascot thing. There were some actual monster looking monsters, I mean more than a handful, but most of them actually, and did a great job of making the game more serious without making it too serious like you mentioned.
    One of my biggest gripes of the series though is that the cpus represent the consoles, and everything in the games is a homage to gaming and gamers essentially. Yet why then are they so poor at providing any remote level of challenge to a gamer. It's like it's balanced towards super casuals. I mean I'm not against casual players wanting to enjoy games too, that's cool. But I wish there was some setting to provide difficulty to both types of gamer (Just not like the origina's difficulty setting which was a joke).

    Man, I gotta say that your channel's contents are just awesome and well made, I am not the type that susbscribes to a channel after one or two typical average videos, but that was not the case here, after your Neptunia Re;birth 2 review took all its time in my "watch later" playlist, I decided to check your channel, and after knowing that you like the Neptunia series, Senran Kagura series and gaming devices, more specifically, after watching the latest PSVita video, it was instant sub. And this "Where to Start: Neptunia" video was just posted surprisingly right _after_ the day I subscribed to YSN!

    Started with Rebirth 2 and loved it. Played Victory and didn't care for the way SP worked or the character's behavior. VII made everything right again and in my opinion is the best game so far. I did eventually go back to play Rebirth 1 and while the story is good I admit the later games have spoiled me mechanically. Looking forward to Super Neptunia RPG.

      Well, don't forget to add "English" in the sentences, because Neptunia players follow at least only one of the 2 voice casts, the English one and the Japanese one, and I believe that the Japanese voice cast hadn't _any_ replacements until now, regardless of the situation (and I already can guess why).

      Japanese rarely switch VAs, only when death comes around.
      They recently switched Bulma's VA in Dragon Ball and Professor Oak's VA in Pokémon because the former passed away.

    Best game series ever. I like how the appearance and personality of the goddesses resemble the hardware ("size") and their players. Noire for example is a loner because PS3 had less online players than XBox 360. Vert on the other hand is a online game junkie. Also there are countless video game references in the dialogues, someone should start a list.
    Producing Perfection should be ported to PC. I had a lot of fun with it and like it even more than the hack'n'slash spinoffs. Btw, the stage effects have to be timed with the audience to get more points. I played it more for the fun story.
    I prefer turn based because it's is more relaxing, especially after work.

    Thanks for the recommendations and I strongly agree to go with the rebirth games because not they look better but I like the fact that all 3 games of rebirth are actually connected to each other and consistent unlike the originals for example the first original game ain't canon and not connected to mk2, victory, and megadimension though both the originals and remakes are different story wise but considering megadimension uses the same gameplay type the rebirth games have and I'll also be checking out both the original and remake of megadimension because they taken place at the same time though the remake is a retelling but then again I like to think of it as a epilogue of the original version still thanks for the recommendations

    (Although they have different characters and are not part of the Neptunia universe... but the same developers and publisher ofc 😊
    Death;End story is amazing man. )

  • @lordgoobr
    @lordgoobr Před 6 lety +3

    Technically, Rebirth 1 is not in the main timeline so to speak. MK2/RB2 was a reboot of the timeline. So if you want to play the games that follow the main plotlines (though the future ones do give enough background to let newbies start in those spots), you would play Rebirth 2, Rebirth 3 then Victory II (whether original or Realize). However Rebirth 1 is an EXCELLENT starting point because it gives a great introduction to the main characters. The other thing to think about in the debate on which Victory II game you play, is whether you want the DLC characters and their own side events. VII R doesn't have the DLC characters.

    My first touch with the Neptunia games was the Re;Birth1 and honestly speaking I enjoyed it a lot more than I had initially expected. Something about the wacky humor and the characters and 4th wall breaking was appealing to me. To be honest, I didn't expect there would eventually be so many Neptunia games (including the spin-offs) on pc. If I hadn't got into the series who knows how many years ago then I'm sure all those games would have confused me a lot and this kind of video would most likely had helped me in that situation.

    Nice guide video, but you've forgotten two things. RB1 was recently ported to PS4 in Japan as RB1+ and it's highly possible that that will get localized as well as Idea Factory/Compile Heart porting RB2 and 3 to PS4 as well. There's also the brand new Nep game that was announced, which is Super Neptunia RPG or Brave Neptunia in Japan.

    @Fender178 Před 5 lety +3

    I agree that Starting with Rebirth 1 is a good idea because of character introductions. Also I would at least play Rebirth 3 at least before going on to VII/VIIR because of some backstory. And I would at least play VII/VIIR before playing Cyberdimension because there is a interesting Easter Egg that people who played VII/VIIR would get. Also another difference between VII and VIIR is the VO/VA because of Noire's VA changing to the one she had in Cyberdimension. I also enjoyed Noire's game it was fun and I liked the various characters. I also liked Superdimension as well and I liked the Time aspect of it because it added a uniqueness to the Nep games. I prefer Megatagmension over Nep U because of improved battle mechanics and overall story. Also about Nepunia Victory I would say that game still holds because there is really no difference between Victory and Rebirth 3 as far as game play goes but the Menu system on the overworld map is different. Unlike mk2 and Rebirth 2 and the Original and Rebirth 1. I watch an LP of the original Neptunia on PS3 and man I didn't like the true ending at all. I preferred the normal ending.

    And I also guess that this _same_ rise should happen with Azur Lane's global popularity, as this game is considerably new (the international version came up around June or July of this year), and Neptunia, as a game series, is considerably popular worldwide right now.
