[[File:Chou_Jigen_Neptune2_2323.jpg|thumb|400px|[[PlayStationPlay Station 3|Is]] [[Wii|your]] [[Xbox 360|console]] as [[Moe Anthropomorphism|moe]] as this?]]
 
The first game in the [[Neptunia]] series, [[JRPG]]s featuring [[Moe Anthropomorphism|moe anthropomorphisms]] of the 7th generation consoles in a humorous take on the [[Console Wars]].
 
The game starts off with a battle between the three goddesses ([[Xbox 360]], [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]], and [[Wii]]) versus the fourth goddess—Sega Neptune, the personification of the [[wikipedia:Sega Neptune#Sega Neptune|Sega Neptune that never came to be]]. Following her [[Curb Stomp Battle|loss]], Neptune [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|loses her memory]] and gets turned into a preteen loli. An unknown force then sends her out on a mission to stop the [[Digital Piracy Is Evil|piracy monsters]] running rampant in the gaming world. To do that, she needs to find a book that holds the secrets of the world... and hopefully win the three other goddesses to her side for good.
 
Along the way, she gets to meet up with other various people who are [[Moe Anthropomorphism|the moe personification of]] Gust, [[Nippon Ichi]], Idea Factory, and Compile Heart. 5pb and Red Entertainment are also available as DLC characters.

Sadly, the game was plagued by issues cause by the complete lack of a budget. Luckily, however, it sold well anyway, and kicked off a series of games that still runs to this very day.
 
There is also a manga that details the events following the normal ending.
 
Was later remade as Hyperdimension Neptunia Rebirth 1, which uses the battle engine from Victory and changes the storyline due to not being able to use all the same characters from the original release. However, it is set in a different version of the original game universe to reflect this, though the original game is not connected.
Line 28:
{{quote|'''Jade''': I'm a member of the Guild. I live on Leanbox, but I don't follow Lady Green Heart...
'''Neptune''': ...Why're you telling me now? What's up with this?
'''Jade''': [[Too Dumb to Live|I... I'm into girls... like... Lady White Heart.]]
*grack*
'''IF''': ...And that's that. You finished him off.
'''Neptune''': Oops. Well, that was for ruining the moment. }}
** Due to changes in the storyline, this doesn't happen in Rebirth 1 at all, since Jade was excised.
Line 43:
* [[Empty Levels]]: Anything past Lv. 99 can feel like this, as you get only one point per stat and no increases to HP or AP. The exception is Item Skill points, which increase by two and can help up the activation percentage rates.
** Fixed in Re:Birth 1, with dungeons and bosses that require the extra stats gained from all those extra levels.
* [[Exiled From Continuity]]: A lot of elements and characters from the original game were excised in the remake due to either being NISA specific and thus not available for use, or because parts of the original plot would not work with the changed elements introduced in Rebirth 1.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: What does Neptune say when she discovers Jade dying?
{{quote|'''Neptune''': Oh, yep. Death flag triggered. I kinda guessed he was one of those gonna-die-NPCs when I met him. Is he okay?
'''IF''': [[Mood Dissonance|H-How can you act like that when someone is dying?]] Compa, can't you do something?
'''Compa''': [[Funny Moments|I wish I could, but I can't do anything about a triggered flag or a bad ending route he chose...]] }}
** In Rebirth 1, Neptune is quite aware of RPG tropes and tries to game the system, as it were, to her advantage multiple times. Unfortunate, it backfires at one point when she finds out Ganache is a big fan of Blanc and tries to get Blanc to get on his good side. {{spoiler|He's a fan of his idealized version of Blanc, and the swearing, cranky side of her convinces him she's a fake.}}
Line 62:
** Thunder Tits for Green Heart, as coined by White Heart.
** Ganache is called "Solicitor" by IF or "Mr." Solicitor by Compa.
* [[Jerkass]]: Ganache. He assigns the task of finding a rare ore to the party, and confines them in an abandoned building set to explode. Afterwards it turns out that was only a diversion, as stated by IF when Chian's factory is being sieged by Avenir robots.
** [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: He later gets over himself.
* [[Large Ham]]: Invoked by Neptune at one point, who is chewed out for screwing around during the Lowee arc of Rebirth 1.
Line 74:
{{quote|'''Neptune''': What's up? A favor? Ask me anything! Oh, but no touching. Got it? No touching!
'''Jade''': Don't treat me like a pervert when I'm about to die. }}
** Rebirth 1 goes through this towards the end, where the mostly lighthearted plot gets quite a bit darker when {{spoiler|Arfoire}} starts going full blown [[Omnicidal Maniac]].
* [[Never Trust a Trailer]]: The game advertises that you get to play as the goddesses in the middle part (or at the very least, early-middle part) of the game. {{spoiler|You only get to play with them in the final dungeon and possibly post-game.}}
** Changed in Rebirth 1, where you get Noire fairly early for a time, she leaves for story reasons and returns later, you get Vert not long after and she sticks around for most of the game save a few story scenes as well as Blanc when she shows up.
Line 97:
** Rebirth 1 has a different storyline, so this never comes up.
* [[Thanking the Viewer|Thanking The Player:]] In both endings, the main trio directly thanks you for getting them through the game.
* [[Theme and Variations Soundtrack]]: Each landmass's theme is remixed for the landmass's dungeons as well as the battles within said dungeons. The title theme has also been remixed and used in various cutscenes.
* [[Transformation Sequence]]: The four goddesses every time you have them transform in the middle of a battle. Fortunately, you can always skip it by pressing L2.
* [[Transforming Mecha]]: {{spoiler|Later in the game, ''Neptune'' transforms into the jet plane seen in the [[Spoiler Opening|opening credits]] as one of her [[Limit Break]]s.}}
