Ok, I didn't see this coming. Meet Tamsoft-chan http://dengekionline.com/elem/000/001/102/1102841/

She will be part of the cast on the Blanc game, now if they woul add Marvy as well...

Can anyone identify what series are alluded on her design? I think she has more in common with Onechaanbara than Senran Kagura.

Now for the Neptunia/Sega Hard Girls crossover game; Plutia, Uzume and Nepgear are confirmed to appear.

Oh an Neptune will turn into a talking motorcycle because why the hell not?

She already won the Transformers Mecha Musume award since the original game (cough*jet planes*cough) so a motorbike isn't surprising.

And as for Plutia and Uzume in the crossover...I'm sold.

Is pretty damn cool

I was wondering, are there any changes in character in Re;Birth 3? Because from what I read from the Victory page, some of the main characters are pretty unlikable compared to the first two games.

Huh?? Oh god no. Everyone in victory is very likable and even funnier than usual. They are a little more quirky than usual especially Vert and Nepgear. Noire is a little more Tsun but it's only because it's 2 idiots now vs her one Tsukkomi but that is about it.

These quirks are just played up even more in Rebirth 3.

What about the sadist who's cruel for the sake of being cruel and causes a lot of shit just because it amuses her?

Sadie is Plutia's quirk and is quite nice actually and does have her lovable moments. Sadie is actually pretty funny and really most of her stuff is actually meaningful or completely all talk.

Noire and Neptune avoiding Sadie making an appearance is really funny as well and the personality changes to Iffy due to Sadie is a quirk that the character needed. Though when push comes to shove though she is a more snarky transformed Neptune with one hell of a Mama Bear streak, you do NOT mess with her 'playthings' aka friends.

The joke doesn't get that stale as well as she doesn't show up too often and they change up the sliding Plutie to Sadie scale.

Sankaku Channel alerted me to the existence of a nude mod for Rebirth. Well that didn't take long.

Ace, Haven't seen you outisde the pony thread and KYM, 'sup?

So, I think I'm getting close to the end of the game and I have a few questions.

I just opened up the dungeon Road to Celestia, is now a good time to do some side-questing and finish off plans?

Also what kind of ending does this game have. Is it a case of I beat the final boss and then can go back and finish up side questing, or does it it have a New game + mode?

I also heard share % affects your ending. Does that mean I can just beat the final boss, don't save and change it around to get all of the endings?

Yes, because the answer to the second question is also yes. So you are unable to finish up side-quests if you beat the Final Boss

Do note that doing all the plans (or even the ones to get the Secret Characters needs more than one play-through)

The third question is also yes, but you'd miss out on getting all the C Gs in one file

Didn't notice that GET until now

And that was the 1,337th post in this thread.

How many spin-off games does this franchise have now? One starring Blanc, Noire, and that brown-haired girl from the first game.

So that means plans carry over to the next playthough then? It that the same with levels? If that's the case I should be able to steamroll the replay.

Maybe I'll just try to complete a bunch of the easier plans, finish the game then try for more when I go for the rest of the endings.

Everything unrelated to the story carries. Basically, the only things that don't are key items and equipment that are given to you as part of the storyline. Same goes for any skills that are obtained as part of the storyline, though R;B 1 doesn't really have many of those I think?

Also, there are only two endings in Re;Birth1. If you're doing a second run, just get the normal ending this time and get the true one on the next run through. That said, I do recommend getting the CPU Candidates so you at least have some new character to play with on run #2. You can only get them now.

@Soble: 5. The list on the trope page is comprehensive.

Oh, thanks. I was going to get the true end on my first play-though but I suppose I'll go for normal then.

Wait, you mean I can only get those two unlockable characters on my first play though? Or do you mean I won't be able to get them until near the end of NG+?

To make a long story short you are only allows enough MB for plans that, to get the Candidates, would require as many MB you would get at a single walk-though (as well as plant to unlock the items needed for them), meaning that getting all of them in the first run would be Awesome, but Impractical (To compensate, the candidates do carry over in NG+)

These plans closest 1024 MB apiece, and there are three plans (Two of the candidates are twins) and you get a little more than 3400 MB per run

also there are 4 CPU candidates

Ah, that sounds much better.

I guess I'll try for as many as I can get with my spare MB.

Also, Thanks for all of the advice. :)

Nepnep confirmed for Acree?

The CPU candidate plans only appear at the very end of the game, is the actual answer. Though the info MorningStar gave is helpful too.

If you want to unlock the remaining ones during your next run, obtain all three plans for them now or you'll have to wait until the end of the game for the plans to reappear.

If I'm not mistaken, you need three playthroughs to get enough MB to unlock everything (you can only obtain each MB key item up to 3 times across all playthroughs btw). What I did was go for Normal on my first playthrough, then True on my second, then did a third but stopped progressing when the final dungeon unlocked to get any stuff I missed.

You should be able to get all the Candidates with 2 playthroughs if you skimp on spending MB by the way. And you should try to, because they actually show up in the ending if they're in your party...

Neptunia V2 is coming in the first quarter of 2016

You know, given that Neptunia VII was developed before Konami started burning all it's game realted stuff to the ground, I wonder how K-Ko would have been portrayed if it was made afterwards?

I figure she'd be a Maker who lost her ideas, trying to create a new world while burning away her ties of the Gamindustry of the past. She winds up having a climatic final showdown with Noire where they have a fist fight to the death.
