History Trivia / Neptunia

* ''Trivia/SuperNeptuniaRPG (the eight spin-off game)

*** Creator/FayeMata, who normally voices high-pitched {{Genki Girl}}s, voices the deep-voiced [[TheStoic Stoic]] [[Anime/HisCooolSeHaGirls Mega Drive]] in ''VideoGame/SuperdimensionNeptuneVsSegaHardGirls''.

* ChannelHop: During the franchise's early years in the States, the first three games plus ''Producing Perfection'' were published and localized by [[Creator/NipponIchi NIS America]], the main US publishers for the ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea}}'' series. When Creator/IdeaFactory made their own US branch, Idea Factory International, on September 30, 2013, they sold the rights for the series, as well as their [[VideoGame/FairyFencerF other]] [[VideoGame/MugenSouls titles]], from NIS, and were swiftly taken off from the latter's website once IFI moved their games into their website. Notably, they're the only games [[NoPortForYou to not be released]] on Platform/{{Steam}}, since they were licensed by NIS first.

* NoExportForYou: Australia hasn't gotten any games past the first one. If an Australian wants ''mk2'' or ''Victory'', they'd have to import it. ''Victory'' eventually got a very small print run down under, and all three games can be purchased from PSN.

** As ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'' wasn't released in North America until after the first game, Kurisu Makise, Mayuri Shiina, and Itaru Hashida ALL made their North American debut in this game as 5pb's Skills.

!!Other Trivia

** Blanc in the original Japanese dub had a calm, soft-spoken voice that would often switch to a gruffer TomboyishVoice whenever she was in a bad mood or as [[HotBlooded White Heart]]. The English dub, while initially sticking with the former, gives Blanc a more louder, shrill, sarcastic, and passionate voice that is near identical to her HDD form. She ''briefly'' switches back to her more soft-spoken portrayal during her VR scenes in ''VIIR'', as a result of being programmed with her [[Creator/KanaAsumi Japanese voice actress]] in mind.
** Vert has a deeper voice in the English dub, sounding more of a mature adult instead of the youthful voice of the Japanese dub. Both voices emphasize her CoolBigSis status.
** Uni's HDD form Black Sister gains a significantly deeper voice compared to her normal shrill voice. This was not carried over in the dub, as Creator/SarahAnneWilliams uses the same Uni voice for Black Sister, though she sounds noticeably raspier.

** Creator/ErinFitzgerald did not reprise her role as Noire in ''[[VideoGame/CyberdimensionNeptunia4GoddessesOnline Cyberdimension]]'' due to her participating in the 2017 SAG-AFTRA strike and becoming a union-only VA. As a result, Noire was instead voiced by Creator/EricaMendez, with Mendez becoming Noire's de-facto voice actress future games.

** Creator/ErinFitzgerald did not reprise her role as Noire in ''[[VideoGame/CyberdimensionNeptunia4GoddessesOnline Cyberdimension]]'' due to her participating in the 2017 SAG-AFTRA strike and became a union-only VA. As a result, Noire was instead voiced by Creator/EricaMendez, with Mendez becoming Noire's de-facto voice actoress future games.

** In the English dub of ''VII'', Vert's voice actress, Creator/TaraPlatt, had to be replaced by Creator/CarrieKeranen, who also voices Rom, owing to Platt's unavailability. Keranen has since voiced Vert.
** Creator/ErinFitzgerald did not reprise her role as Noire in ''[[VideoGame/CyberdimensionNeptunia4GoddessesOnline Cyberdimension]]'' because she was participating in a strike following a breakdown in negotiations between SAG-AFTRA (a voice actors union) and several major developers and publishers. As a result, Noire was instead voiced by Creator/EricaMendez. Fortunately, the strike ended in September 2017, leaving the door open for Fitzgerald to return to the role. In ''VIIR'', Mendez once again voiced Noire in the new VR scenes, with some sources stating that Fitzgerald's performance was eradicated in the re-release, and much like Carrie Keranen's example above, Mendez became Noire's current VA.

** While Creator/RieTanaka enjoys her role as Neptune, she also finds the character's high-pitched voice somewhat strenuous to keep up, as Purple Heart's contralto is what she's used to.
** Creator/KanaAsumi usually play characters who are energetic, high-pitched {{Genki Girl}}s ([[Literature/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove Nyaruko]], [[Manga/{{Working}} Popura Taneshime]], and [[Manga/{{Nisekoi}} Marika Tachibana]]) or innocent, soft-spoken {{Nice Girl}}s ([[Manga/HidamariSketch Yuno]]). Blanc, while normally quiet, is one of Asumi's stand out roles due to the character's [[SirSwearsALot profane vocabulary]], [[HairTriggerTemper short-temper]], HotBlooded attitude, and a coarse and angry-sounding way of speaking, especially as White Heart.
** Creator/KanaHanazawa is known for playing soft-spoken young girls who wouldn't hurt a fly such as [[Anime/AngelBeats Kanade Tachibana]], [[Manga/{{Nisekoi}} Kosaki Onodera]], and [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair Chiaki Nanami]]. And while her role as [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory Plutia]] isn't an example of this, it's her SuperpoweredEvilSide Iris Heart that takes the cake, being a {{sadist}}ic {{Dominatrix}} who gets a kick out of terrorizing enemies and allies alike while also making [[DoubleEntendre suggestive-sounding innuendos]]. She also talks in a sultry CreepyMonotone and can pull a LargeHam from time to time.
** While Creator/ChiakiTakahashi has played [[VideoGame/PrincessConnectReDive villainous]] [[Anime/SevenMortalSins women]], her regular forte of roles are the kind-hearted [[CoolBigSis big-sister]] or [[TeamMom mother-like]] archetypes ([[VideoGame/TheIdolmaster Azusa Miura]] and [[VisualNovel/RumblingHearts Mitsuki Hayase]]), and even one of her villainous roles ([[VideoGame/BlazBlue Litchi Faye-Ling]]) had the villain in question be ForcedIntoEvil. By contrast, Arfoire, the series' main BigBad, is ([[DependingOnTheWriter for the most part]]) a completely irredeemable, cruel and wicked women whose goal is to get rid of the [=CPUs=] and [[OmnicidalManiac Gamindustri as a whole]]. Her successor, [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaMk2 CFW Magic]], is the leader of a criminal syndicate who is just as cruel as her precursor. [[VideoGame/SuperNeptuniaRPG Filyn]] also counts as being a TinyTyrannicalGirl of a NebulousEvilOrganization.
** In English: Creator/CheramiLeigh, who usually plays heroic female protagonists like [[Manga/FairyTail Lucy Heartfilia]] and [[Literature/SwordArtOnline Asuna Yuuki]], plays the GoodIsNotNice TerrorHero Iris Heart.
** Creator/JulieAnnTaylor[='s=] most famous roles are peppy or kind-hearted young women what with the likes of [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Taiga Fujimura]], [[Franchise/BlazBlue Tsubaki Yayoi]], and ''Neptunia'''s own 5pb.. The shy and insecure [[spoiler:but also highly unstable]] Rei Ryghts is one of her rarer roles. And whereas most of Taylor's roles were of heroines (or in Kokonoe's case, an [[AntiHero Anti-Heroine]]), Rei [[spoiler:is the main antagonist of her game]].
** In contrast to her role as the heroic and friendly Compa, Creator/CristinaVee playing the antagonistic Croire complete with a lower pitch voice was surprising since she's known for playing upbeat heroines like [[WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug Marinette Dupain-Cheng]] and VideoGame/{{Shantae}}. That's not to say Vee ''hadn't'' done these types of characters before and afterwards though.
