Now Neptune must fight to restore her place, but could a being known as Arfoire threaten the very world the Goddesses have sworn to protect? Locked in the Console War, the four Goddesses vie for domination of the planet until Neptune is cast down and stripped of her power. Leanbox, Land of Green Pastures, ruled by Vert. Lowee, Land of White Serenity, ruled by Blanc. Lastation, Land of Black Regality, ruled by Noire. Planeptune, Land of Purple Progress, ruled by Neptune. Gamindustri – A distant world comprised of four nations, each under the divine protection of a Goddess. An upgraded, enhanced version of Hyperdimension Neptunia™ Re Birth1, in Neptunia ReVerse you'll be able to experience Neptune's first adventure once more with all the benefits of the new generation of console hardware. It's definitely not something you want you to do on your first playthrough - you want to get a feel for each character as they're unlocked - but it's perfect for replays.The origins of the Neptunia series get a new lease of life in Neptunia ReVerse, launching physically and digitally on the PlayStation 5 in 2021. I played in Arrange Mode having already played through Re Birth 1 and wanting to see what they changed, and it was definitely nice having every character opened up to me at the start, but I ended up just using the same eight characters throughout the whole game. It also changes the XP balance enemies give less XP, but it takes much less XP to get your characters to levels beyond 100, so while it may feel tougher in the core game, if you're going for the high level stuff, it gets (somewhat) less tedious. You also get most of their costumes unlocked from the start. First off, you get every character right from the get-go including some like Plutia, Peashy, and Uzume who I don't recall being unlockable in Re Birth 1 (I know Uzume wasn't because the game she's in hadn't been released yet). Arrange Mode is the big change the core story doesn't change at all, but the balance is changed up. There are significantly fewer trophies in ReVerse than there were in Re Birth 1, but that's largely because Re Birth 1 had a trophy for getting each character to level 99 whereas ReVerse doesn't have any character-specific trophies. ![]() The big change here from Re Birth 1 are the trophy set and Arrange Mode. That's why I keep coming back, at least Neptune and Compa are two of my absolute favorite characters just kind of in general. The characters and their interactions are, while pretty trope-y, a lot of fun. ![]() So why do folks buy these games other than the obvious anime tiddies? The characters. The story is also pretty generic, although having the entire thing be an allegory for the game industry (even if the names are bit on the nose) is pretty awesome in my opinion. Honestly, that doesn't bother me the game exists to be fan service, not to push the envelope of JRPG mechanics. Other than, it's totally generic run-of-the-mill JRPG. Your four CPUs (seven if you play Arrange Mode which I'll discuss in a bit) as well as the four CPU Candidates that you can unlock later in the game can activate HDD (Hard Drive Divinity) and transform into their true forms which gives them a pretty substantial stat boost. As far as gameplay goes, Neptunia ReVerse is about as generic a JRPG as it gets in most ways.
