History YMMV / NeptuniaSistersVsSisters

** Despite having combat models and tagging along with Nepgear and the others at various points, Anri, Gray Sister, and Maho never actually become playable, even [[GuestStarPartyMember for a fight or two where it'd make sense]]. Strangely, Higurashi and Alice ''are'' playable despite being far less relevant to the story.

** Fans were livid when Creator/IdeaFactory International released a patch for the English localization that [[GoshDarnItToHeck dials back or outright replaces all of the swear words to something more "suitable"]] (e.g. "Bastard Sword" becomes "Brute Sword"). This was apparently done because IFI forgot to add "Language" in the description of the game and had to comply to the ESRB rating system to not cause anymore conflict, as every game sans ''[[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaMk2 mk2]]'' has been rated T. This led to backlash by the majority of the Western fandom, denouncing that the edited dialogue either sounded too {{narm}}y (removing the word "piss off" despite being a relatively mild swear or replacing the word "bullshit" to simply just "bull") or ''worse'' (such as "bastard" being changed to "die") than the previous dialogue, as well as the fact that most of the dialogue came from Blanc, who is known for her [[SirSwearsALot crass language]], which led to more criticism from fans who believed the "revised" dialogue undermined her character. Even those willing to forgive IFI directed their anger towards ESRB, due to their general distain towards Japanese games, being {{hypocrite}}s by allowing other T-rated games (especially from the West) with vulgar dialogue, and how whole situation could've been avoided had IFI recalled and re-released their copies to include the "Language" warning rather than rewriting the game's foul dialogue entirely.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The {{Transformation Sequence}}s in ''Victory II'' had a lot of charm, so it can be a bit disappointing to see them stripped to the bare minimum.

** Despite having combat models and tagging along with Nepgear and the others at various points, Anri, Gray Sister, and Maho never actually become playable. Not even [[GuestStarPartyMember for a fight or two where it'd make sense]].

* ThatOneAchievement: The Purple Reaper trophy requires killing 10000 enemies. A single playthrough might see you killing about 1000 of them. Attempting to grind it out in the Colosseum is the most ideal method as the F4 and D4 fights have 14 and 15 enemies respectively, but you can't just button mash while doing something else as you are set a few steps away from the [=NPC=] to get into the fights and you have to scroll through the menu to get to either of those fights. Even doing it this way, [[FakeLongevity this one trophy tacks on an extra 15 hours or so to the game mindlessly grinding]].

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: The CPU of the PC Continent, who is also [[spoiler:Maho's older sister. Despite Maho creating the IS Crystal in the first place to save her, she's never seen or even named. She simply serves as Arfoire's initial host, getting unceremoniously killed off so she can switch to Maho.]]

* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: The Deity of Sin returns as the BigBad, with [[spoiler:the finale once again taking place in the reconstructed Gameindustri Graveyard.]] This is especially odd after ''[[VideoGame/MegadimensionNeptuniaVII Victory II]]'', in which Neptune [[WhoWritesThisCrap ridiculed the franchise for overusing her]] (and she at least wasn't the BigBad in that game).
