History VideoGame / CyberdimensionNeptunia4GoddessesOnline

* AnAesop: The entire moral of this game could be summed up as "cheating is bad, OK?".

* BrickJoke: Bouquet is a young sister candidate designed by Creator/RinaSato, Vert's voice actress, who idolizes Vert and wants to be her little sister. Yes, Vert clearly gave up waiting for Microsoft, and just designed her own little sister![[note]]And as of the Platform/XBOXSeries, Even the XBOX itself has a 'little sister'.[[/note]]

''Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online'' is an Action RPG featuring the ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'' cast as they play as themselves in an MMO. The sixth SpinOff game of the series (the fourth spin-off title to be developed by Tamsoft), and the second title of the franchise to be developed for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4. Notably, this is the first game to be using the Unreal 4 engine, thus boasting a significant visual difference to its predecessors.

* ActionBomb: Mandrakes and other variants bury themselves in the ground, waiting for a chance to ambush their victims and blow up on them. Although they cannot be harmed when embedded underground, they can easily be disarmed by killing them before they reach their targets, because of their minuscule health.

* TalkingToHimself: InUniverse. The titular Four Goddesses are sophisticated [=AIs=] based on the appearance, personality, and voiceprints of the four [=CPUs=] - i.e. half the existing player party. The characters have a [[BetterThanABareBulb field day]] with this.

* {{Expy}}: The beta testers [[{{Bifauxnen}} Kiria]] and [[CatGirl ✝Kuronekohime✝]] are ones to [[LightNovel/SwordArtOnline Kuro]] and [[Literature/AccelWorld Kuroyukihime]]. Fitting, since Dengekiko makes an appearance here as well.

* GameWithinAGame: ''Four Goddesses Online'', the focus of this title, is mentioned constantly in Franchise/Neptunia as what Vert is doing all the time. Hilariously, in Bouquet, it also explains, ''why'' she's playing it so much.

** Any time a spin-off game is based round one particular character, they end up getting the ButtMonkey status. This game is based around Vert's favourite game, includes a character designed by Vert, but she seemingly ''deliberately'' made sure that she avoided it being based round her for that very reason.

* ShowWithinAShow: Again, ''Four Goddesses Online''.

* PantyShot: {{Lampshaded}} by Neptune when she specifically mentions Vert is wearing a leotard under her skirt so she won't be able to provide any in this game.
** In one side event, Neptune discovers that she can adjust the camera angle in the game to provide these, complete with an accompanying CG. When Bouquet is asked whether the feature was deliberately added, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial she comes up with a speech restriction.]]

* HollywoodHacking: There's a competition between hac— sorry, [[InsistentTerminology crackers]]— within the game, and it's treated more like a game of Duel Monsters from ''YuGiOh'' than anything else. In other words: cracking is essentially a [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries children's card game]].

* WeCannotGoOnWithoutYou: If the character you're controlling is defeating, you'll be sent back to town shortly after.
