Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;birth1 (InstanceTopic, 19)
From Compile Worlds
This page is an infodump for now. It will probably be rewritten into more of an article later.
Summary of Protagonists and Lands
The four Lands (or continents) of Gamindustri, the four (non-DLC) goddesses, four possible settings, and four colors all nicely line up with each other, so they'll be listed in a table:
| Land | CPU | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Tagline | Setting | Name | Title | Playable from |
| Planeptune | Land of Purple Progress | Futuristic | Neptune | Purple Heart | Chapter 1 |
| Lastation | Land of Black Regality | Steampunk | Noire | Black Heart | Chapter 2 (temporary) Chapter 5 (permanent) |
| Leanbox | Land of Green Pastures | Medieval | Vert | Green Heart | Chapter 3 |
| Lowee | Land of White Serenity | Snowy & magical | Blanc | White Heart | Chapter 4 |
There are two more goddesses who do not make appearance in cutscenes in Re;birth1 as they are DLC characters: Plutia / Iris Heart and Peashy / Yellow Heart.
The other playable characters are:
- Compa - playable from Chapter 1
- IF - playable from Chapter 1
- MAGES. - playable from Chapter 4(?)
- MarvelousAQL - playable from Chapter 6
- Falcom, Tekken - playable from ??? TBA
- Histoire - DLC, playable from Chapter 7(? TBA)
The goddesses are also known as CPUs (Console Patron Units). Each of them has a normal form, in which they appear like any normal human, and they can also transform into another form known as HDD (Hard Drive Divinity). In this form, they change personality (with one exception), change appearance, and have higher stats, but it takes 20% of their SP to transform (unless done as part of a scripted event).
Villains
- Arfoire seems to be the main villain of the game, though it's not yet known if a Big Bad will appear later on.
- She impersonates many others, leading you to think they are also villains, but really they're all the same person. This includes Conversation (of whom a real version has not yet been seen) and White Heart.
- Ganache is an important sub-villain who has a high position in Avenir, an evil company which has all but taken over Lastation until you oust them in Chapter 5.
- The Mysterious Instigator that gets everything going in the first place may or may not be a villain and may or may not be Arfoire or someone connected to her.
Regular enemies
{{Selfref|Main article: Neptunia Bestiary
- There are many hostile monsters found throughout the game, all of which are created by Arfoire through the use of Enemy Discs.
- Similarly, there are many hostile robots - usually but not always found in factory or cyber settings - all of which are created by Avenir, and often the boss robots are ordered to fight you by Ganache himself.
- At certain points, there are also humans making up Lowee's military that you have to fight as regular enemies, due to Fake White Heart (who is actually Arfoire) telling the military that you are an enemy.
- This is especially confusing, since said humans are cute girls just like your party members!
