** You can' get Noire, Blanc and Vert until right before the last dungeon. You also [[PermanentlyMissableContent can't get them at all]] if Neptune dies too many times or leave optional dungeons too many times. Not helping is that Gust and Nisa are DLC, meaning you have to spend money in order to get them.

* FirstInstallmentWins: Despite its initial rocky reception, the game is nowadays consider by many fans to be the best game in the franchise in terms of storytelling, right next to the universally beloved ''[[VideoGame/MegadimensionNeptuniaVII VII]]''.

* SoOkayItsAverage: While the game features a ton of video game references, fanservice, and has a pretty cool opening theme, the gameplay isn't so lucky. Compared to other recent [[EasternRPG JRPGs]], the dungeon design is extremely linear and uninspired. The combat system isn't too original, like that of the first four ''Xeno'' games, and the rest of the music is pretty okay. There's not too much unique gameplay-wise, and if one read the manga they could get virtually the same effect.
* ScrappyMechanic:
** What do you mean I can't heal outside of battles!? What do you mean I have to set some percentages just so my healing items can heal me DURING a battle!? Why are the potions too damn expensive!?
** What do you mean I don't get Black Heart, White Heart and Thunder Tits until right before the last dungeon!? What do you mean I [[PermanentlyMissableContent can't get them at ALL]] if I let Neptune die too many times or I leave optional dungeons too many times?! What do you mean Gust and Nisa are DLC!?
** When an enemy's guard gauge is depleted, there is a limited duration in which they'll stay in "Guard Break" status, governed by a timer that does not stop during attack animations as well as HDD transformation actions. [=MK2=] remedies this by having guard broken enemies remain in this status indefinitely until they get hit by an attack.
* ThatOneBoss: The Killachine and CPU Breaker spell trouble even for HDD Neptune, and the fact that you have to fight one after the other makes it worse.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The game hints a few times that Black Heart is lonely and has no friends. They never really do anything with this, which is a shame as it could've made for some nice character development. This is, however, a focus of her character in later installments.
