Hyperdimension Neptunia General Discussion The Animation 14

This is what I wrote so far. It can definitely be improved.

Revisions part 1
=Introduction=
Well, here we are. After 3 months these revisions are finally here! This will be long, so take your time to run through it.

Disclaimer: these revisions cover only the games involving the CPUs from Hyperdimension.

So, this is the most important part of these revisions. There's quite a bit for this.

I'll start by mentioning that at first glance the verse might seem inconsistent about the power levels, but there's a nice little gimmick that makes it all actually consistent: the Shares.


Average Level of the Verse
If you followed the discussion thread, you should know that the average powers and the scaling all comes down to this cute little being: Histy.

She is consistently protrayed as being around universal in power:

-She stabilized the flow of time between two different space-time continuums

-Is stated to be the world's everything

-In one of her skills she uses "all of existence itself" to attack

"Bruh but wouldn't that be an outlier? She doesn't even fight"

False.

Why wouldn't it be an outlier? Simple. Remember what I said above? Shares are a thing.

"But aren't those only for the CPUs?"

No, Histy is an Oracle, and is shown multiple times that they can use share energy, either to create sharicites or for combat, putting them on a comparable level to the average shares CPUs. Also shares can bring characters to even higher tiers as I will explain further down this post.

For the second part, she does canonically join the party and fight through Re;Birth 2, and is needed to obtain the true ending of the game.

So, the average level of the verse all depends on her tier, which I'm not really sure about what would be going from the above feats.

"Who scales to this?"

Basically everyone, excluding low shares CPUs and BoS Makers. Why? Because canonically CPUs and CPU candidates are stronger than their oracles, and the strongest beings of their own nations. But this isn't all. All the Makers scale due to being able to fight against CFW Magic, one of the Four Felons who restrained the four CPUs (and Nepgear) for 3 years. And neither Histy nor the other Oracles could defeat her, making her also above Histy. This puts everyone on Histoire's level, scaling either above or below her.

High Shares and God Tiers
The highest feats in the verse mainly come from three characters: Rei, Kurome and Uzume:

-Rei was about to destroy the Ultradimension, affecting the Hyperdimension as well in the process, only to show off and lure the other CPUs. With a mere fraction of her power, Kurome was able to move an entire dimension, trying to make it clash with the Hyperdimension.

-Kurome herself rewrote the Hyperdimension and its history, reshaping the world. She also has Rei and the 4 main CPUs' powers as Dark Orange.

-Uzume, while being sealed away, unconsciously created from her powers both the Zero Dimension and Heart Dimension, which were erased from existence when both her two avatars (Uzume and Kurome) died. Then, when she was freed after the internal clash between the two, both dimension reappeared, making it clear that she maintains them by existing.

This is pretty clear evidence for a solid 2-C rating for the god tiers of the verse.

Who does this scale to?

It would backward scale to all the CPUs at high shares (and the Gold Third in Gold Form as they are their equal), as they fought and defeated Rei, and upward scale to the NEXT forms, who are stated to be above any HDD form ever seen, which also includes Rei.

"But what about Iffy, Compa and Big Nep? Didn't they also fight Dark Orange?"

They did, but that would put them on a level comparable to high shares CPUs, which makes no sense whatsoever. Aka outlier.

This should be all for the God Tier's tiering.

Low Shares and BoS
Now here is where calcs come in. There are two main calcs the character would scale to:

7-C - Scales to base form CPUs and BoS Makers

Low 7-B+ - Scales to low shares HDD forms and low faith Gold Third

There are various hammers that Blanc uses that have planet level statement, along with some skills which show this level of destruction (although one of them can't be used due to being stated to not be actually happening). This might add to the previous rating a possibly 5-B for base CPUs, and backward scale Makers and CPU candidates, who are below them, to low 5-B. Up to debate.

Low shares CPUs' durability
Now this is something I'd like to discuss.

Low shares HDD CPUs, aka the low 7-B ones, have shown more than once to barely tank attacks from mainly two characters who scale above Histy: CFW Magic and Yellow Heart. While the latter is debatable if she was serious (As Yellow Heart can't really be serious due to how dumb she is), there's no doubt about Magic and the other three Felons. After defeating them, she had to keep them restrained for 3 years, despite having all the reasons to kill them as they only were and hindrance.

"But how do you know that they were at low shares?"

Against Magic, the CPUs went to fight her for that exact reason: ASIC was taking their shares and causing a crisis in Gamindustri.

Against Yellow Heart, there was a machine taking their shares and giving them to her.

"But wouldn't bot scenarios be outliers? Didn't they get hurt in other fights?"

Good question. Low shares CPUs are actually seen in very few occasions during the games, and unless they were fighting against characters who scale to Histoire no one of the main CPU in HDD form has ever been canonically injured. The only game in which there are different fights with low shares CPUs is Re;Birth 3, against the Seven Sages, and unless they fought against Arfoire, Rei or Yellow Heart they stomped everyone.

"But what about Mr. Badd? Didn't they have difficulties against him?"

During the first encounter they stomped him, and during the other encounters they had difficulties only because at first they were disgusted by his baby monsters, and after discovering what they truly where they didn't want to harm them.

This is up to debate as it is a complex matter.

The 1-A Statement
Only putting this to avoid discussing it later. The statement about the Hyperdimension trascending the concept of numerical dimensions, while being cool and all, gets retconned by the dimensions being located in an arguably 9-D space. So that statement is out of question.

Conclusions
Well, that's it for the first part of the revisions. I'll talk about the other stats in the next thread.

If there's something else you want to bring up, feel free to to so in the comments.
 
Yeah, that's all we're missing. I'll upload them to imgur as soon as I get them.

Do you have any of the relevant ones?
 
I see

Well the important parts as of now from RB2 are the Magic fight in chapter 5 and the Oracles being able to use shares. That iirc is also in the first 5 minutes of the game with Histy mentioning that she made the sharicite
 
Alright, I read through all of it.

I like that you used a Q&A type format for the revision as it saves a lot of time explaining to those who might have questions similar/the same as what you've specified.

I think the scans, as Lex brought up, are all we need really, good job.

Don't think there is anything else that needs to be added in there aside from the other threads that you've stated that you'll put up after this is published.
 
Thank you Peed!

Yeah, that helps a lot.

I think I'll add the scaling chain and the bit about Rei's powers I posted above, then it should be good to go as soon as we have the scans
 
But soon enough everything starts to change
As you grow up nobody treats you the same
They try take your future and make it real safe
You could be a doctor accountant or something sane
But hey
What ever happened to the sky was the limit?
 
Back.

So, how about a game of "Would you Rather"?

I'll try and find some Neptunia related questions.

If I can't find any, I'll just try and brainstorm my own.
 
@Genki

Let's ignore the canon stuff on this W.Y.R (nice dodge to the answer though, you clever cheeky bastar-)

Okay, reading NepNowa fanfics will damage more than a few brain cells, but you prefer getting stuck in an Anti Crystal? Christ.

@Lex

Same as above. (reading NepNowa fanfics will damage more than a few brain cells)

Okay. Let's move onto the next one (we can do like 5/10 questions, or more if you want to carry on):

Would you rather:

Be Neptune for a day


Or


Be Nepgear for a day?
 
@Lex

Maybe not... Please.

Alright, next question?

Would you rather...

Be in the Gamindustri Console War

Or

Listen to Histy's Lectures for 15 Hours?
