History Fridge / Neptunia

* Ever wonder why Lastation looks like some dirty city? Think about it: when the UsefulNotes/{{PS3}} first came out, its place was dead last. Seeing as Lastation doesn't have a ton of stuff, it represents the [=PS3=] perfectly.

** The UsefulNotes/XBox360 isn't developed for as much as the [=PS3=] or Wii in Japan, so it would make some sense to have it the [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything least developed world]]. There's also that one model of the 360 uses the [[Myth/NorseMythology Valhalla]] motherboard. What doesn't make sense however is that Leanbox has a region called [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Hirool]].

* It's been stated in-game that there's an armed forces that fights monsters, and it's implied that they're having a bit of trouble. Why you, a little girl, and her two equally little girl friends, a nurse in training and someone who seems to be actually competent, seem to be much better off against them slaying monsters left and right seems to be a bit of a mystery. This troper has always been annoyed by the insufferably long and frequent transformation sequences. However, Neptune is a goddess. She HAS to transform often to take care of the monsters (initially, anyway).

* Vert resembles a well endowed blonde and blue eyed girl, this troper was thinking something else until he realized that Japan's idea of American women is large breasts with blonde hair and blue eyes.

* Japan-only FridgeBrilliance: Why is IF into Vert a lot more than the rest of the characters? [[Creator/KanaUeda Her seiyuu]] is an avid UsefulNotes/Xbox360 fan, that's why.
* Blanc has high defense because she's made of [[MadeOfIndestructium Nintendium]].
*** Or to put it another way, ''literally'' [[NintendoHard Nitendo Hard!]]
* Meta-Example: According to [[http://www.compileheart.com/neptune_mk2/result.html the character popularity poll in Japan]], Vert is the least popular of the [=CPUs=] and Ram is the least popular of the [=CPU=] Candidates. Personal tastes aside, given that the [[UsefulNotes/Xbox360 360]] isn't exactly as popular compared to the [=PS3=] and Wii, it makes sense that the CPU and Candidate (Who is the candidate who uses the Green (Leanbox) mascot character disk, again?) representing the console wouldn't be anymore popular.
** Ram represents one of the screens of a [[UsefulNotes/NintendoDS Nintendo DS]]. She's just [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling annoying]] and completely upstaged by her [[EveryonesBabySister adorable]] [[PolarOppositeTwins twin]]
* The characters' bust sizes are supposedly a representation of their respective consoles' graphical power. Vert, being the UsefulNotes/XBox, is of course larger than the rest of the primary goddesses. Yellow Heart, however, surpasses even Green Heart, despite being based on an [[UsefulNotes/TurboGrafx16 older console]]. The key is in her name in normal form, Peashy, which sounds like "PC". The "PC Engine" is what the [=TurboGrafx=] was known as in Japan, thus Yellow Heart's ridiculously large chest represents the power of a ''PC'''s "engine".
* People often complain about how Ultradimension Noire is brattier and cockier than Hyperdimension Noire. She's ''supposed'' to cocky, she's a human girl who just gained the powers of a goddess, she has immortality, a transformation, and the ability to rule a sovereign nation. The chances of that going to someone's head is ''very'' high. Considering Ultradimension Noire became a Goddess during her teenage years (I'm assuming), she IS a bit of a spoiled teenager, and having become a Goddess at that age, she's frozen in a state of ImmortalImmaturity. The Noire from the original game as well as ''mk2'' was a few hundred, if not thousands of years old, and had also been born a Goddess, she was used to the role and the responsibility by the time the series started.

* [[spoiler: The Gehaburn blade feeds on the souls of the Goddesses. ''Whose to say they're dormant''? They could be fully and completely aware of their current imprisonment, and, considering the blade needs to get its power from something, the blade could be actively ''draining'' the souls of the [=CPU=]s. This is when you remember you killed two children with it and took their souls.]]

* In ''Megadimension '', [[spoiler:Kurome uses the negative share energy to brainwash the [=CPUs=] into killing the Candidates, [[HiddenDisdainReveal the CPUs bringing up their resentment towards them]]. It is strongly implied that its the negative share energy that is influencing them to escalate minor issues into outright resentment. With that in mind, remember that ''Victory'' is canon. Then remember how [[ButtMonkey Nepgear was treated in that game]] (Croire even reminds her at one point that she was treated horribly). With that in mind, what if just for kicks Kurome decided to kidnap Nepgear and fill her with negative share energy, and how her being a punching bag could be used to warp her as was the [=CPUs=] or even worse?]]

** In this case ''VII'' actually answers this question, with the Ultradimension Nep [[spoiler:pretty much being the same personality wise]].

* Blanc has high defense because she's made of [[TonkaTough Nintendium]].

* You know how Neptune loses her memory at the start of the first game? Think about it. She's based on a 16-bit console, and the other goddesses are all based on seventh-generation consoles with far greater RAM. Compared to them, Neptune has no memory. ''It's a hardware joke.''

** Have you seen the number of games Sega has released on PlayStation? They’re pretty much camping on that console.

** This may also be a jab at the poor battery-backed memory of the Sega Saturn. Saved data on the Saturn was stored on dedicated RAM chips on the console itself; once the power to the system was turned off, this data was kept alive by a CR2032 3V battery, the same sort found in wristwatches. When the battery ultimately died, the data - and all the player's saves - would be lost. ''Again, it's a hardware joke.''
