History VideoGame / HyperdimensionNeptuniaMk2

A remake for the UsefulNotes/PSVita was later released, titled ''Hyperdimension Neptunia [=Re;Birth2=] SISTERS GENERATION'' (''Chō Ji Jigen Game Neptune [=Re;Birth2=] SISTERS GENERATION''). Akin to the earlier remake game for the PS Vita, VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaReBirth1, this game also utilises the battle system from ''[[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory Victory]]'' in addition to ''[[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaReBirth1 Re;Birth1]]'''s "remake system", which unlocks special modifications to the game. The remake features an improved framerate compared to the performance of the original [=PS3=] game, in addition to [[UpdatedRerelease reworked voice acting, music and visuals]].

!!Tropes in Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2:

* MultipleEndings: There are a lot of them. ''Re;Birth2'' adds one more.
* ObviousBeta: The [=DLCs=] fixed this though. Even without the DLC, mk2 is still not as bad as its predecessor in terms of being an Obvious Beta.

!! Tropes exclusive to Re;Birth2:

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Just like ''[[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaReBirth1 Re;Birth1]]'', Gust and Nisa are not present. They've been absent since ''Victory'' and were outright written out of the story here and in ''Re;Birth1''. However, 5pb. and Rde return after having received this treatment previously.

* UnexplainedRecovery: The Planeptune Mascot's body was destroyed by Underling early on in the game, yet she appears to be completely fine after the battle and later, we see her along with the other Mascots hanging out with Histoire and with her original form restored. It's really puzzling considering Lowee's Mascot also suffers the same fate and yet, she has to be repaired by the heroines with the help of the Oracle and Gust (Broccoli in [=Re;Birth2=]). Though it could've been justified by the Planeptune Mascot's part since the Lowee Mascot was already using most of her power to seal the Killachines away, while Planeptune's Mascot was just merely hanging out in the forest and therefore was not using her power at all. This could've allowed a full recovery on her own.

* InterfaceSpoiler: A minor one but it's there. After beating the Underling for the first time, her respective {{Leitmotif}} will be unlocked in the music playlist in the museum. The name of said leitmotif is [[spoiler:Warechu]]'s Theme, which can spoil the fact that [[spoiler:Warechu]], a character that you meet a chapter later, is part of the ASIC despite his cutesy appearance. Well before the actual reveal.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[{{PlayStationPortable}} Is]] [[NintendoDS your]] [[GameGear handheld]] as [[MoeAnthropomorphism moe]] as this?]]

Of course, this includes the younger sisters of the other goddesses, who are based on the handheld systems on the market at the time of this game's release, much like how Nepgear is based on the GameGear and how the goddesses are based on the home consoles on the market and the unreleased Sega Neptune.

* LazyBackup: Averted for the ''first time''. When a character grows weak, their partner, should they have one, can step in to assist them!

* SillinessSwitch: Several of the plans, like Brow Mania, which makes the characters' eyebrows show through their hair to match the character art.

* WhatAnIdiot: InUniverse. Really Chika, you [[spoiler:book a boy band (Let alone [[CampGay a homosexual one]]) to perform in front of a [[PeripheryHatedom crowd that nearly consists of only straight males?]]]] [[SarcasmMode Yeah, can't see that going wrong]].

* AffablyEvil: The "more chivalrous than evil" CFW Brave. He is described as such, and offered to let Nepgear and Uni free before attacking when he found them in Endless Zone.

* AlternateUniverse: Honestly, just about everything has changed outside of the central premise. Even the world's structure and how the main characters met!
* AwesomeButImpractical: Superior Angels. What it does is that it hits all enemies for 9999 for 15 times. The downside? You need all four CPU Candidates at 100 AP and have at least 100 SP. The SP gaining isn't that bad, but in a game where later enemies do a OneHitKill on you, AP gaining isn't easy as it seems.
** The [=CPUs=]' DLC CombinationAttack Guardian Force also falls for this. It's arguably stronger and has a wider range but costs more SP; basically it's more awesome but also more impractical to use.
** Just even using HDD form is already impractical to use in this series thanks to the constant SP drain.
** Neither of these are an issue in the remake.

* {{BFG}}: Uni. Even more so when she becomes Black Sister.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: Kei Jinguji.
* BonusBoss: Tons in the coliseum, the hardest of them being [[spoiler: Delphinus.]]
* BoundAndGagged: Arfoire keeps the [=CPUs=] like this for three years. It's even the name of the trophy you get for viewing the CG image of them.

* CurbStompBattle: CFW Magic delivers it to the four goddesses at the start of the game.
** The actual fight with [[spoiler:CFW Judge]] will end this way for either you or him. He is powerful enough to wipe out most of your team in a single turn, but just before the fight, Nepgear gets an extremely powerful new processor set and a GameBreaker skill called Celestial Severance. Your CPU Candidates also receive the Superior Angels skill shortly before entering the area, another ridiculously powerful skill. And to top it all off, everyone in your party begins the fight with a full 300 SP. So the fight is pretty much a race to see who will utterly annihilate the other first.

* DuetBonding: When Neptune and Nepgear produce their IdolSinger video.
* [[spoiler: EldritchAbomination: CFW Arfoire. An imperfect revival indeed.]]
* EquipmentSpoiler: Trailers and screenshots sure love showing off [[spoiler: Nepgear's [[SwordOfPlotAdvancement Magic Sword]] in which you can only obtain after finishing with the Conquest End and start a NewGamePlus.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Linda beats feet when CFW Magic [[spoiler:starts committing genocide in Arfoire's name.]]
* [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Everyone Calls Her "Underling"]]: Linda receives this label from Nepgear and company, much to her dismay. Even Pirachu keeps calling her "Underling" despite multiple demands telling him not to, and to add insult to injury, the name above the text box every time she speaks is changed from "Linda" to "Underling."
* ExpositionFairy: Despite not being a sidekick, Histoire fulfills a similar role to this aside from being MissionControl. It helps that she looks like an actual fairy.
* FastballSpecial: [[spoiler: Neptune gets tossed by the three goddesses towards Nepgear in one of the endings.]]
* FightingYourFriend: [[spoiler:In the Conquest Ending.]]

* FunWithAcronyms: ASIC, which stands for '''A'''rfoire '''S'''yndicate of '''I'''nternational '''C'''rime.

* GameplayStorySegregation: When you get the lilac mk2 processor unit, Nepgear gets a cutscene where says she's become stronger but if you look at the stats for the lilac and lilac mk2 processor units, the lilac processor unit has higher stats than the lilac mk2.
** Fixed in the remake - the lilac mk2 set has higher total stats than the lilac set in every category except HP, SP and elemental resistance, which both sets have none of.

* GottaKillThemAll: [[spoiler: The Conquest Ending route plot is this; yes you have to kill all the goddesses. Thank you Compile Heart...]]

* GrievousHarmWithABody: One of Nepgear's Skills has her use Keiji Inafune like a blade.
* HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: Even if you have your party pimped out with awesome equipment and doing fine against the first fight with CFW Magic, the game will still continue as if Nepgear and company are [[HopelessBossFight still getting owned by her.]]

* HeroesGoneFishing: One of Falcom's chirper events has her and Nepgear doing this.
* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: In the normal endings, the four goddesses sacrifice their lives to destroy Arfoire for good. However, [[SurprisinglyHappyEnding after Nepgear finishes her speech, the four goddesses turn out to be A-OK.]] ]]
* HoldYourHippogriffs: Ram: "We exercised so much I could eat a horsebird. I'm starving!"

* HumongousMecha: [[http://i54.tinypic.com/2v167o0.jpg One of the main villains]], named CFW Brave. Looks like a cross between ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'', [[Anime/{{Gravion}} Sol Gravion]], Anime/BraveExkaiser, [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Thrudgelmir]], and Anime/DancougarNova.
** [=CFWs=] Judge and [[{{Squick}} Trick]] are this as well, though CFW Brave happens to fit the bill the most.
* HungryWeapon: [[spoiler: The Malice sword, which grows more powerful as it consumes [[KillTheGod fallen CPUs]] until it becomes the Gehaburn. "feeding" it and using the word on Arfoire is the point of the Conquest Ending, where where after learning about that aspect forces Nepgear to avoid using the sword and try to find an alternative, only to be forced to kill her friends and sister with it anyway.]]

* MundaneUtility: In an optional scene, the CPU Candidates encounter Neptune in HDD form and assume trouble is afoot. Neptune then says that she transformed just to meet the height requirement of an amusement ride.

* ProductPlacement: One of Rom and Ram's staves outright state they're from Manga/CardcaptorSakura instead of the usual style of loosely describing it or using a fake, but similar sounding, name.

* RecursiveCanon: In one of her Chirps, Vert mentions requesting for Neptunia mk2 to be released for "[[{{Xbox360}} the Box]]."
* RedOniBlueOni: Ram and Rom, respectively.

* RuleOfSymbolism: How many fans interpreted the [[spoiler:Conquest Ending. Even if you end the UsefulNotes/ConsoleWars by having one Super Console that plays everything, piracy will always continue to exist. With only one super console, the industry will stall without competition. And a gaming world without competition will not improve and will fall apart sooner or later. It's even lampshaded by CFW Arfoire herself in that particular ending.]]

* SdrawkcabName: One of Compa's skills from the DLC skill pack is called Traehelipmoc.
* SeeYouInHell: IF will sometimes say this whenever she kills an enemy.
** In the side event mentioned in DecidedByOneVote, Blanc says that she will follow Underling to hell for the vote that will make her the most popular of all the CPUs.

* ShootTheShaggyDog: [[spoiler: The Conquest Ending. Nepgear feeds the demon sword by killing ''all of the other [=CPUs=]'' with it, then destroys Arfoire with the fully powered sword. Arfoire, however, seems to take being defeated quite well, all things considered... The reason why is that, by having killed the other [=CPUs=], Nepgear has fated the world to have no competition, and therefore no progress. With no progress, Gamindustri will ultimately crumble, and Arfoire will then return to feast on the remains. The implications of this are that the [=CPUs=] all died, not to avert Gamindustri's end, but to make it inevitable. Thankfully, this is only one of Multiple Endings, so it is not strictly canon.]]

* SpellingSong: N.I.S!!
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: In the True Ending, [[spoiler: Both Blanc and Vert think about the idea of giving one of the former's sisters to the latter.]]
* SuicideForOthersHappiness: During the Conquest Ending, [[spoiler:most of the CPU Candidates voluntarily let you kill them after their CPU sisters force Nepgear to kill them. Uni gets a special mention, as she says she wants to die because her older sister is already dead, so she has nothing left to live for except her sister's dying words of hope that Gamindustri can be saved, which requires that Uni allows herself to be killed by Nepgear. Neptune plays this straight, smiling and stating simply that Nepgear has to kill her or all of their efforts until then will be for nothing.]]
* SwordOfPlotAdvancement: The [[spoiler: Magic Sword found only in the Conquest End.]] [[PlayerPunch Have fun obtaining it.]]

* UnskilledButStrong: The four goddesses. To put it in a nutshell, they have very few skills despite having the best stats of the whole team. DLC fixed this by turning them all into [[GameBreaker Game Breakers]].

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Just like [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaReBirth1 Re;Birth1]] Gust and NISA are not present. They've been absent since ''Victory'' and were outright written out of the story here and in Re;Birth1. However, 5pb. and RED return after having received this treatment previously.

A [[SurprisinglyImprovedSequel Surprisingly Improved ]]ContinuityReboot to ''VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptunia'', and the second game of the ''{{Neptunia}}'' series.

* SillinessSwitch: Several of the plans, like Brow Mania, which adds giant brows to the 3D models.
** Actually, Brow Mania just makes the characters' eyebrows show through their bangs to match the character art.

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:The Conquest Ending. See DarkestHour above and ShootTheShaggyDog[=/=]SuicideForOthersHappiness below.]]

* {{Anvilicious}}: The overall storyline of the game focuses on how piracy hurts the game industry, which would make it a simple [[AnAesop Aesop]] if it stuck to that. It becomes {{Anvilicious}} with the strawmen used in the "Chirps" and [[spoiler: when Uni is trying to convince CFW Brave that Piracy Is Wrong towards the end of Chapter 5.]]
