Megadimension Neptunia Episode 76: VS The CPUs

[@Villain_of_Overhype]

Neptune Atk ??? Def ??? The laziest enemy. Can only eat pudding. Can't keep avoiding work forever. Keep lecturing her. *Histoire LV 19*

[@Snidne1]

It's over folks. Go home, no one is going to beat this comment on this video. It's too perfect. Try again next time. Watch the video first, but try again next time.

[@SenpaiBlade]

That sounds like a challenge Sidney XD

[@Villain_of_Overhype]

Senpai Blade Btw senpai. Just gonna leave these FE pics here if you're interested drive.google.com/file/d/0B69ULtNpN_PQWVJFWFdqS2Eyczg/view?usp=drivesdk drive.google.com/file/d/0B69ULtNpN_PQaHh2NUkwTWVBLUU/view?usp=drivesdk

[@Villain_of_Overhype]

Senpai Blade btw still wondering what's wrong with Eliwood -_-

[@SenpaiBlade]

The Villain of Overhype I personally just don't like him. That's why I said, if you're fine with him, that's all that matters :)

[@plutesmegutes7174]

Geez the CPUs look freaking menacing with their darkened delusion filled eyes. As for the most memorable battle. Id say either the many Giant battles especially the 1st one with Dark Purple or the CPU fight like in the video or the Arfoire Dragon in Rebirth 1 because all had a huge part. Hell the final boss of the True End got my blood pumping. They were all INTENSE!

[@SenpaiBlade]

Yeah, I agree with everything here.

[@0-Noony-0]

11:52 Direct reference to Zidane's quote in FF9 wow!! 😁

[@edwinofnorthumbria2511]

It could have been the good ending to some people. I like Blanc's and Vert's new eyes. 08:58: "reacted to my suffering voice", I knew plutia was a bad influence on Neptune, but are you really into that kind of thing ge-ge, I guess if it's neptune doing it... 14:04: LET THE WAIFU WARS BEGIN!!! 37:12: WHY DOES UNI HAVE SUCH MASSIVE JIGGLE PHYSICS? QOTD: the most memorable battles experienced was trying to not get bored as all hell watching Nobles playthrough of RB3.

[@mergele1000]

She doesn't have massive plot, so she gets massive physics as compensation.

[@edwinofnorthumbria2511]

Well, at least, uhh, we know there soft, and supple then I suppose...

[@ganyuu8338]

Nepgeardam with such serious battle music is the best thing ever

[@almike5816]

I just realized that Uzume’s screaming (the “Oraoraoraoraoraoraoraoraora ora” is a pure Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure part 3 reference ( Star Platinum’s ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!)

[@MetallicD3ath]

i.) Ah, here we are, I wanted to see this battle, and man what a Legendary intro. I commented on another video how underprepared I was for this (I forget which episode now, but you had asked about it for QOTD I believe). But, wow, level 47, huh? I actually feel pretty impressed with myself now for having almost everyone under level 40. Seeing how well you can change your tactics mid-battle, and what you did with Uzume challenges, I'm not surprised you beat it first go... but having a few more levels probably didn't hurt either. 1) 2:27 I can just hear the resentment in your lack of speech. 2) 4:20 Y'know, with Noire's line here, in my first playthrough, I actually thought for a moment that Neptune was actually making a horrible joke. I mean she did something similar in Re;Birth 3 in the fight with Vert (granted this is worse) 3) 5:05 I actually didn't realize this without you pointing it out here. I didn't realize the other CPUs didn't transform in the bad ending. Huh. 4) 11:50 Ladies and Gents, the only redeeming thing S-Sha says in the entire game. Although, I wonder if they gave that line to S-Sha on purpose to make people think. I imagine it flew right over most people's head. 5) 12:00 I mean, I'm still not sure why it's a megaphone either, but I don't think they'd give her that as a weapon just for a one-time throwaway line. Especially since it's a really loose connection, there's a lot of better ways to wake people up. 6) 16:15 did you forget that the Nep Bulls and stuff can be used from range? Then again, I don't see any Nep Bull Cs (50%) or healing bottles (10k HP). I wonder how I had those and you didn't. Must have picked them up earlier in the game. 7) 21:45 Oh yeah, they don't count as bosses. Half because they wanted to make the fight harder, but probably also because the game only limits one boss per battle and they didn't want to show favoritism. 8) 26:55 Yeah, Neptune seemed to miss a lot when I played as her, as well. Critical edge in particular almost never seemed to hit anything, so I'd still be using cross combo (or combo attacks for crit damage + 100% accuracy) until I got other skills. 9) 29:16 Wait, Rom died from full health in just *one* attack? I don't think even my Rom did that, and she was 7 levels lower, did you forget to get armor for her? 9a) 31:28 Oh, they're on offense support, that explains it so much better. 10) 32:50 When Green Heart explodes into the Xbox logo. (You can see if clearly if you pause at 32:52). I know it does that every time, but it really looks like the Xbox logo, so I had to point it out when you hit Green Heart, after all. 11) 35:22 Totally listening, you ever gonna finish that sentence about Nepgear? QOTD: Really, really a tough call. For me, honestly, probably the first battle against Black Heart way back in Re;Birth 1. I think that is the only battle in the entire series that I've had to grind to beat, and it's the first time you really *meet* Noire (you don't fight either of the other CPUs). The other contender is that one battle that everyone else mentioned and said was a spoiler, but I'm giving it to the Black Heart fight since the other one was more recent so it gets an advantage and because I want to say something different. Speaking of said spoilery battle, that's pretty much the only reason I'm glad I ended up doing true end first, so I wasn't overleveled and didn't roflstomp it - but sadly, I still found it pretty easy, from what I recall.

[@kuroshinigami9143]

Not even lying here, I listen to music when i play games, right as this battle started, i unpaused the song i was listening to (because im not an animal that listens to music during cutscenes >.>), there was about 10 seconds left on it. next song to come up was Megalovania. Fitting, because i did indeed have a bad time... QOTD: i would say this fight because out of the mains i have only played Re;Birth 1 and VII, currently working my way through the series as i got them all for christmas, did the spinoffs first and currently on Vs Sega Hard Girls ( would like to see a playthrough on that but getting off track) this took me 3 tries to beat and the plot relevance kinda makes it memorable, though if i do a conquest ending run on Re;Birth 2 one of those fights might make it.....

[@SenpaiBlade]

I can see that. I actually do that too (But that's hard to do with a playthough) And this one was the most memorable? Were you surprised that I beat it on the first try? XD

[@kuroshinigami9143]

well the K-Sha fight was memorable as i got shreked the first time as well. but i was playing this game 100% blind, i feel like you got warned a bit to prepare for this

[@SenpaiBlade]

Not too much. I originally would have battled them without the healing fields. Only reason I got them is because I got the bad ending first and had to revisit the other dreams again to get back to the good ending route. I stopped by the base in the Heart Dimension to see if I missed anything and presto, healing fields. Had nothing to do with anyone else.

[@kuroshinigami9143]

well i mean you were more prepared for this fight than i was so i cant really be mad you beat it in one try

[@SenpaiBlade]

Well, I do like to keep my "no game over's record". XD I would think you guys wouldn't expect me to die at this point.

[@Snidne1]

Welcome... TO YOUR DOOM! And the opening theme is so appropriate too... 2:31 Somehow I feel like we've been here before... 9:00 And this is where the bad and good ending paths deviate. But first, MORE SUFFERING! 12:08 Way to ruin the mood scouts. They need to read the script. 13:15 In which we regret more of our life choices... 24:00 Pretty lucky that Noire pretty much didn't use any of her skills on you... 1 Down! 29:40 2 for 1 Blanc special! Also, HOW DARE YOU! 35:30 I am listening senpai. -I'm always listening- As soon as I finished typing that, I felt like cringy Noble... I need to shower, excuse me. QotD: Well, I WOULD tell you one of mine and you would definitely appreciate it but it would spoil things. So instead one of the more memorable ones would be the fight against Eggplant Arfoire in Re;Birth 3. Because how could anyone forget that?

[@SenpaiBlade]

I felt it was XD 1. Yeaaaahhhh, I honestly forgot about it until I posted the last episode. XD 2. The wound was still fresh

[@fangthefabulous1132]

SPOILER WARNING: I was listening to you all da way through, and the most memorable battle (Even though I don't play, I watched all of the games exept Hyperdevotion Noire, and only watched the Blanc route in PP) would be Uzume vs "Uzume". In the good and true end of Megadimension Neptunia Vii.

[@normnavx]

that final fantasy 9 reference s-sha made around 12 mins lol

[@MiguelMartinon]

QOTD: I would say the fight against CFW Brave in Mk. 2, as it’s the only fight in the series other than the Ancient Dragon from HDN, to make me question if I could defeat it, keep in mind, I had DLC for Mk. 2 and stills, I thought it was very difficult.

[@insomniacnerd5592]

I've had a crappy day, I'm sick as all hell...so seeing you uploading the new episode made me smile.

[@Villain_of_Overhype]

Neppy-Nep Compton Hey. Hope you're feeling better. If you wanna talk we're here :D

[@insomniacnerd5592]

The Villain of Overhype Thanks, and I hope I get better to...

[@SenpaiBlade]

I'm glad I could put a smile on your face man :) Hope you feel better soon :(

[@insomniacnerd5592]

Senpai Blade You put a smile on my face with everyone of your videos, and I'll get better eventually.

[@carsontetric3018]

4:43 I was asking myself this throughout my second play through, since I accidentally got the bad ending the first time.

[@lasatar6428]

Most Memorable battle? The fight against Kurome (or should I say M?) you have at the end of VII's true ending. Although, I reckon that all major boss battles from the 3rd and 4th games were pretty memorable.

[@Xavier-cm3fj]

Its hard to say but for now the most memorable battle I remember would prabably have to be Uni Vs Brave. It was a battle where not only fists and bullets clashed but also ideals on who had a better approach for the future of games. Seriously, that was the only battle that made me suspect that the reasons for that fight was included in there by the devs to make us think.

[@SenpaiBlade]

Wow, that's a unique one! I forgot about that fight. Yeah, I definitely feel that was their intention.

[@inferiorinferno8859]

True, and that brings me to one of the points I love about this game franchise. Some people feel the Neptunia franchise is childish and not deep at all. But that fight for an instance, I thought it was deep. Perhaps even deeper then what people think deep games are. Why? Because with deep games, they constantly want to make you think. You can't choose for example, how you experience the game. No, it's deep and this and that and you have to take it as it is. But with the Neptunia franchise you can either choose to analyze it and accept it as deep, or you can just look at the light-hearted exterior and enjoy it for the fun aspects. You can choose what the meaning is for you, and that the Neptunia franchise has all those layers to choose from makes these games really deep. Because life can also be seen in different ways. You can also take life light-heartedly, or deep. The Neptunia franchise reflects that perfectly, for me at least.

[@1234andrewjacksmith]

1. 2:30 I'm getting a sense od Deja View. 2. 7:50 So here we have the main change between good and bad route where Neptune reacts t Nepgear suffering in shock and gives an opening instead of enjoying it even more. 3. 12:05 That Megaphone is very loud and good for waking people up but lets follow Uzume into battle. 4. 12:12 Hello we have sacrifices for the CPUs of Planeptune. 5. 13:20 You'll be fine your at the level your supposed to be. 6. 14:22 So it's the battle of the Number one's. ;) Also it seams Uzume wants to fight Noire alone. 7. 17:07 I wonder what is Popping out with Rom's skill. 8. 21:51 Nope for these are just lowly minions even if they drained a lot of items from me. 9. 32:55 Cool and cute just like Orange Heart. 10. 35:30 Of course we're listening and I guessing it was meant to be something about Nepgear's lily ranks and it seems like Nepgear is building her Harem. 11. 37:17 that was a nice skill. QOTD I have to say the Final True ending battle of this game or the Fight against the CPUs in this game.

[@SenpaiBlade]

1. I wonder why

[@1234andrewjacksmith]

1. No ideal :) 5. I'm pretty sure it was just popular agreement and the fact I had a 42 and 41 level fighting the CPUs. 6. I'm not surprised. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 9. I can't tell lies and Orange Heart is very cute. 10. The Harem achievement is calling to be done.

[@KellyFitzpatrickletsplaykelly]

I died a lot in that fight. It's worse in VIIR. Make sure to bring the revive-like items. You will have to keep reviving allies.

[@jamesscott8648]

Final battle of Rebirth 1, hands down. Afroire becomes a dragon? Please... Fight her again? With just Neptune? Let's get it!

[@famous.cryppp]

Oh fuck, the question of the day was so loud in my earbuds.

[@carsontetric3018]

13:12 where did that confidence go all of a sudden?

[@elixxon]

1. 4:30 Nooo.... not that.... I can't resist the Dark Side like that! 2. 6:54 No.... no.... why is it so irresistible? How can even Evil Purple Heart be so much Best Girl? I... can't.... 3. 7:51 Boom headshot? 4. 8:59 I just got a feeling that somewhere in the deepest depths of cheap fanfic and doujins is a BDSM story about this...... 5. 11:50 So much Hero in a single sentence!!! X) 6. 11:59 Insert clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3OTg4epfsqAgqs 7. 35:28 Maybe? ;) QotD: I don't remember... Well if the cutscene right before the fight counts too then it's the moment when Neptune transforms for the first time in Re;Birth1. So friggin' epic and it's just two static CGs!!!!! And I just remembered that I really wanted to fight Rei in Re;Birth3 but on that playthrough I was stupidly overpowered because I was grinding too much. So possibly that's was partly why I did not finish the game. I wanted to go true end with no guides so I used the Oracles to get boss drops easily... aaand ended up with everyone getting more and more OP. Since then I found a guide for what to do exactly for the true end since that's not just vaguely a "get this and that dungeon" kind so I guess I'm going back to play some more RB3.

[@SenpaiBlade]

1-2. Well... I mean... It's not that I can't understand where you're coming from

[@elixxon]

3. I don't know where, but it worth the joke. XD 4. Indeed there are places on the internet that must remain undiscovered for ever. QotD: I stopped between Vert and Arfiore & Copypaste. I need to start over again because I am too OP.

[@sauro8299]

"How strong are they?" *Observation Scope* "..." strong enough to make your whole team git gud it seems

[@sauro8299]

Also, "Horsebird Dung" was a drop what in the world?!

[@Villain_of_Overhype]

Otariossauro pretty sure it was dung. As in shit. The cpus must collect many dongs for this one guild quest.

[@sauro8299]

...uh, damnit, one single wrong letter and the context goes way off >_> (that was worth a laugh tho) Still, why dung of all things, man. I mean, it was probably compiled and digitized manure that doesn't really have the same issues of actually carrying shit around... but but but but but ¿_?

[@Villain_of_Overhype]

Otariossauro Maybe Horsebird dung actually has many healing properties. Like curing indigestion and diarrhea dumps. Neptobismol.

[@SenpaiBlade]

Well, I was just worried for Nepgear, Uni, and Rom. Uzubae could solo them ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@MitchellBirt]

4:44 This. This question right here is why I was afraid I somehow got the bad ending, considering the direction everything has heading. 11:50 If only the rest of the world could act with this mindset.... 13:12 You haven't seen the worst of it. It gets worse when they use AoE abilities. That is a guaranteed death sentence if they get the drop on you.... 29:31 ....Just like that. 37:17 I can't believe you made it through that without getting a game over at least once, let alone without having a character killed in the opening moves by an ability. Either my luck is terrible with regards to how I've experienced that fight, or you are the luckiest guy I've seen play this. And I KNOW it wasn't because I was under-equipped or underleveled. My members were level 50 across the board the first time I fought this battle, and I had all the best gear suited for each party member, with combo set-ups for all critical hits. I have no clue how you pulled this off so effortlessly in comparison. QOTD: I have to give the most memorable battle designation to the second fight against Dark Purple. There is one other fight toward the end that comes very close, but I don't want to leave a spoiler about it in the comments for anyone else who watches later.

[@SenpaiBlade]

1. Yeah, i didn't realize they kept that in for all three routes. 2. True... So true... 3. Oh yeah, that

[@AeroBoy354]

Just finished this battle with level 40 nepgear, level 39 Uzume+Uni, and level 38 Rom in my speedrun. I forgot item preparation(but i make sure weapon and bracelet are the latest from shop), even i forgot to craft disc lol . It takes about 20 revive item to defeat noire and vert because their aoe exe. After that, it's a breeze.

[@TeachMeBert]

Well, this was an interesting episode. Can't say I had as much trouble, since I deliberately grinded in Senmuu Labyrinth to make sure everyone was at least level 99 before this fight. 1. (37:16) ...why do I get the felling that if Nisa was in this game, they'd give her The Jiggle too? -_- (QotD) Re;birth1 was my first Nep game, and I went for the True Ending first. I was not prepared for the power of Arfoire's dragon form. One training montage later, and I took her out. Then Neptune does her whole "I must her fight her alone" thing... except the DLC characters don't leave if you have them in your party. I had Iris Heart and Histoire on the front lines. I roflstomped Arfoire with two attacks. (^^;)

[@elixxon]

Well Blanc is proud to what she has. Just look at her posture in HDD in other games.

[@SenpaiBlade]

0_0 Lv 99! Why did you do that? XD 1. Well um... No comment on that

[@edwinofnorthumbria2511]

What they did to Uni was an atrocity, the jiggle should be on the other side.

[@elixxon]

Oh yeah... if I'm not mistaken Noble died reeeeeal horribly there a couple of times.

[@SenpaiBlade]

So then you have seen what happens from here on out?

[@elixxon]

People talked in the comment section about how many deaths did he had.... not sure if there was any Megalovania jokes... I was sleepy.

[@SenpaiBlade]

I wanna say it's hard for me to believe Noble died that much, especially with DLC... The battle wasn't that hard for me... But the healing fields helped a lot. I wonder how differently the battle would have went.

[@Villain_of_Overhype]

Senpai Blade Didn't he die like thrice? Granted I grinded in Senmuu labyrinth til level 75 and still had some troubles XD

[@elixxon]

Noble's party got nuked by AoE in the KZbin video.

[@TheZxZero]

It may be weird, but for the battle against the CPUs I used Rom and Ram as the damage dealers xD since almost no enemy has strong defense against magic, they do greater damage for most enemies. Also I watched the entire battle and you let my Nepgear die >:v I trusted you Blade (?) For the memorable battle, I can't say for spoilers, but you will know when you see it in the true ending route :p

[@SenpaiBlade]

I feared for Rom and Ram dying (which was valid) And hey, she survived 76 episodes! And I was supposed to lose this battle entirely. I think I did pretty good

[@TheZxZero]

Senpai Blade I was just kidding xD You really did pretty good. I didn't have that problem because by the time I did that battle everyone was around level 48-50, so I was a little over level, I know that you don't like to do that to have a challenge, and for that I respect you. And you will see in due time xD

[@SenpaiBlade]

Alan Hernández Well, I do like a challenge, but it's mainly for you guys. I could have started this playthough with DLC and over-leveled but that's no fun to watch. Having a risk of me losing is much more entertaining I feel.

[@melsuppatlol4565]

Now I'm thinking of Undertale and HyperDimension together...

[@SenpaiBlade]

Fun fact: I made this intro after seeing the Good end... Perhaps you can see that in my song choice

[@Villain_of_Overhype]

Senpai Blade Damn. They just genocided your entire population of feels.

[@SenpaiBlade]

Accurate -_-

[@captainnepnep1139]

I had to replay through the game to be able to fight the CPUs lol

[@captainnepnep1139]

Also fell off a roof yesterday whole side is bruised up and I still can't move my right leg without bad pain

[@Villain_of_Overhype]

ddog 2000 Sheesh 0_0 Take care man

[@blazingkite8983]

ok, what the actual fuck, I need a quick response, how do the CPUs works in this battle? do they keep the stats of the equipment they had with you before being captured? or are they based off your characters in the field? like example Uni has 800 damage so they have an approximate number to 800? or do they have a specific amount on their stats? because FUCK, even my big nep who is lv 41 dies fast, now I'm grinding on the colosseum but I'm asking here to know how do their stats works before I grind to lv 70 to beat them

[@SenpaiBlade]

I'm pretty sure their stats don't change. I analyzed their stats at the beginning of this episode if you want to see it. I also show my fight, I had no DLC stuff.

[@CarmsCelestia]

Question of the day: My answer is a rather unconventional one: Naasne Volcano's Clione fight in Re;Birth 1. I did not know what that thing was and have been royally blasted away....

[@SenpaiBlade]

Ah, I think I remember that XD

[@Jardrin]

I only lost once in this battle from what I can remember. Maybe I was just lucky.

[@The_Prizessin_der_Verurteilung]

"I'M not losing... I'm not losing" Hmm... I dunno, bucko. Those sound like some flag triggering words of I do say so...

[@SenpaiBlade]

And did I? XD

[@powdereclairs]

Undertale MEGALOVANIA REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@username8239]

megalovania

[@SenpaiBlade]

Yep, felt it fit XD

[@almike5816]

Senpai Blade good choice
