*ATTENTION HYPERDIMENSION NEPTUNIA FANS* Unfortunately, Erin Fitzgerald [English voice of Noire] recently confirmed that she will not be returning as Noire in the dub of Cyberdimension Neptunia, and potentially any future Neptunia title starring Noire. The reasoning is because at least for Cyberdimension Neptunia, Idea Factory refused a Screen Actors Guild union contract, which had been in place for all of the other games. SAG is responsible for nearly all of the best English talent and the ongoing strike is affecting numerous projects. I’m really, really hoping this is a temporary problem that will only affect the dub of Cyberdimension Neptunia, not all future Neptunia content as well. Fitzgerald loves playing Noire and would return to voicing her if Idea Factory put a SAG contract in place. This is where we, the fans, can help. If you care about Erin Fitzgerald reappraising Noire in future games, do what you can to get involved. Write to Idea Factory on twitter, email and good ol’ snail mail and tell them how passionate you are about the series maintaining the principle voice actresses. I’m not calling for a boycott, I’m simply attempting to mobilize the community behind talented voice actors including Fitgerald. Secondly, also write to Erin thanking her for her amazing work and encouraging her to work with Idea Factory should they decide to do the right thing for future projects and sign her as a SAG union contract. While there will always be Asami Imai, Erin Fitzgerald is and forever will be the only English voice for Noire. Please write politely to Idea Factory. Send the message that voice actors are irreplaceable assets to gamers and the developers and publishers need to treat them as such. Do it for the Neptunia community. Do it for Erin Fitzgerald. Do it for Lastation, *DO IT FOR NOIRE!*
According to Rikka (I think that was her name), all the girls, including herself, were making passes at Secretary-San. In Producing Perfection, when you pick which cpu to work with, the other 3 seemed a little upset. Then at the end, when the producer wants to go home, the goddesses don't want you to go and refuse to send you back, then which you have to persuade them. Taking this into account, I believe this is why hyperdimension lacks a male human character in the main cast, it would probably and up like a harem with most of the girls fighting for his affection.
Saori is interested, but the others aren't. Keep in mind PP is a totally different canon. [The Player] is a totally separate person. The main reason there are so male characters in Neptunia is the same reason there are so few male characters in Touhou. Originally, it had to do with making characters more distinct, but now, it's simply tradition. There are self aware jokes about male NPCs in Re;Birth 2 especially.
+Satoshi Matrix Noire is interested too, there are signs throughout the game, Saori even sees Noire as her rival. I don't know about the other girls, but Rikka did say they and herself included were making passes at Secretary-San, which Saori said it wasn't true and that it's just a one-on-one rivalry between her and Noire.
There is basically two so far. The first is from the Hyperdimension Neptunia Idol Production where you play as a Producer to help get the goddess (one for each story) their shares and become the best idol in the whole world. The second male protagonist is from the Hyperdevotion Noire (this video) where the game focuses on Noire and the male protagonist that got dragged into this mess. Noire hired the guy because he moved to the big city looking for a job and saved noire (by giving her shares when she had no believers) from a monster.
One common misunderstanding is that this Noire isn't the same as the Hyperdimension Noire. In fact, virtually none of the Neptunia games are related in canon. The series employs the multiple universes concept wherein the leading characters exist and have the same personalities, but everything else is different. This is one possible Noire, but isn't the Noire of the Hyperdimension, Ultradimension, PPdimension, Heartdimension, Zerodimension or any variation therein. This is why Noire's yuri tendencies towards Neptune in some of the games do not contradict this Noire - they're different people. For fans, it's pretty great that they do this. It allows the Megatagmension Nepgear and Uni to openly admit they're in love with each other when that didn't and wouldn't happen to their Hyperdimension counterparts. The good news is that no matter the dimension, Noire is a massive tsundere.
Totally agree, but I THINK (not entirely sure) Hyperdimension mk2 (Also Rebirth 2), Hyperdimension V (Also Rebirth 3), and Megadimension VII are all canon with the main story since they have mentioned several events that happened within the game. For example, Nepgear (V, and Rebirth 3) mentioned that she was a protagonist before (Mk2, Rebirth 2). Another example would be that in Megadimension, when they saw Croire and how Adult Neptune mentioned Plutia.
All of those games exist in the Hyperdimension, but not the same Hyperdimension - they're not canonly related. Note that all of those mentions came from fourth-wall-breaking Neptune and her slightly fourth wall nudging sister. These are done as fanservice but they are not referencing events that personally occured to those versions of the characters. Although with Adult Neptune, that might be the case she met Plutia since that could be the Neptune of the Ultradimension that never became a goddess and was assumed to have died because of how lazy Neptune tends to be.
Can you guys explain why you're chanting USA? Is that a meme I'm unaware of? I really don't get it. Just because it's in English? Or is it the voice actress? because, Erin Fitgerald is Canadian.
What about Hyperdimension Neptunia PP? You can totally romance all the goddesses in that one. You can even get extra points with Noire by playing with Uni. Which was actually really adorable.
I genuinely enjoyed this game a lot, it is easily one of my favorites. I think the hate it gets is because people always misunderstand self-inserts. Secretary-San is basically you, the player, i don't understand why people often get jealous of him, it would be like getting jealous of yourself. It was one of the main reasons why i bought this game and enjoyed it from the start to the end. not the case for everyone, but i immersed a lot in the story thanks to it. Lady Noire (that's how i always call her thanks to this game) is now a very special person to me. This game also helped me a lot in a time that was hard in my life. Thank you goddesses, thank you generals, and, overall, thanks to you Lady Noire. Thank you for everything.
because Noire is almost _everyone's_ waifu. [Hyperdevotion Noire isn't _really_ a waifu game, just kinda has this easter egg if the player didn't fuck up]
And let it be known, Secretary and Producer, the closest things we have to male protagonists in these games, and what do they get? No models. You know who does get a model? A fish. With a human face. (Seaman. For the sega dre- oh. Oh I get it now)
That's because they are YOU, the player. Even before receiving the Name "secretary" he is named "player". Other human males do get full sprites though, like that guy from the guild in Cyberdimension and Mr. Badd
This is Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart for PS Vita. It's a spinoff sidegame of the Hyperdimension Neptunia series. I would highly recommend you start with Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3szGVwcP2t0.html
+haloassinate97 If you liuke strategy RPGs, Hyperdevotion Noire is totally worth buying. I've invested nearly 100 hours into the game and think I got a great deal on the game even at full price, $40. This game fits the Vita like a glove.
The physical Vita version and not some digital sale? Well either way, awesome! Hyperdevotion Noire is one of my favorite games from the past few years. I just recently 100% beat it with all characters level 99, which took quite a while. I hope that Sting will make a sequel in the future. This is quite different from the Neptunia series proper and is rife with sequel potential.

+Satoshi Matrix sorry for the late reply I'm using my iPhone right now I was not aware this was happening behind the scenes hearing all that I gotta do something now thanks for telling this
one of the core themes of Hyperdimension Neptunia is the multiverse where things are slightly different in one dimension vs the next. This Noire isn't from the prime Hyperdimension who secretly pines over Neptune. This Noire is the leader of the world and has a male secretary (the player).
So this is a universe where no one is les?A fanservice universe i see but hey get to date Noire is the best thing a person can get(I'm tired of have to image a beautiful scenario between me and the girls while half of them are lesbian)
@@josuesanchez-kv7ho Pues si tienes razón, como cuando se sube a cantar sin problemas en un espectáculo con Tsunemi, pero esta Noire está más basada en la de Rebirth 3, que es menos insegura y mas agresiva que la de los otros juegos (aunque a diferencia de la de RB3, la de hyperdevotion es bien hetero, en RB3 puedes olerle la homosexualidad desde lejos xD)
@@josuesanchez-kv7ho Si. A pesar de que se comporta raro con Neptune es parte de su tsunderismo y no tanto porque guste de ella. (En megadimension dice que no quiere que nadie piense que le gustan las chicas). Pero la de RB3 si se me hace bien gay por Plutia, y cuando dice la intentan emparejar con un guardia dice "es un hombre del que estamos hablando" haciendo alusión a que no le gustan los hombres. (?) Pero la relación de Neptune y Noire en Hyperdevotion es como Shrek y burro, realmente no hay nada de quimica entre las dos, hablando románticamente.
This is Hyperdevotion Noire, a spin-off game starring Noire and a whole cast of characters referencing many beloved classic gaming franchises. Satori is a direct reference to Tokimeki Memorial and the original "confess under the tree atop the hill" dating sim trope. Early in the game, Noire hires a young man who comes to Lastation looking for work. When her shares plummet but the young man still has faith in her anyway, Noire hires him as her personal secretary. Essentially [you] are the male. Noire's Secretary is the player. By correctly completing Sim Noire - the game's dating sim element wherein Lastation residents write letters to Noire and you've given multiple options on how Noire ought to respond - Noire eventually goes from cold to neutral to well, tsundere, especially after Noire finds out that Satori is also in love with him. With affinity with Noire at 100%, you get this scene late in the game.
Hyperdevotion Noire for PS Vita. This scene is towards the very end of the game when you maximize Noire's affinity for the player, Secretary-san. I have more of these. Check them out in this playlist. ru-vid.com/group/PLtsZRFeG-MhKvQQLWkzdOyorFIV66T_ku
Since Neptunia employs the multi-world aspect of string theory wherein every dimension has a different Noire, there isn't a "real" Noire. Even sticking strictly to the Hyperdimension, there are at least three of them. You are correct that the Gamarket Noire is none of those Noire. This Noire is streight and in tsundere love with her male secretary (the player).
@@cherryblodx348 With few exceptions, the Noire, Neptune Blanc and Vert from one Neptunia game generally is not the same Noire, Neptune Blanc and Vert from the next Neptunia game. The only ones that are the same are Mk2 > Victory > Victory 2. All the rest are totally different.
You play as Noire's male secretary who is presented in a second person perspective. In the blatant Tokimeki Memorial spoof, Saori falls in love with Noire's secretary at first sight, and henceforch uses the honorific ~san with him. Noire confessing to him in Tokimeki Memorial style is the icing on the cake.
you know, I also do that... EVERYTIME... few times I tried to hear it instead of reading it... but... 3 things 1: whenever I hear them instead of read I'm like.. what exactly am I supposed to watch? it's just their models standing there... reading it at least entertains me 2: MANY TIMES I miss what they say and I must read 3: fuck off I'm so used to subtitles/dialogue boxes
_This_ Noire isn't the same as the Ultradimension Noire that turned down fabulous Anonydeath. This Noire is straight and assuming you don't fuck up the dating sim element of Hyperdevotion Noire, she falls in love with her secretary, the player.
Not true! There are several male characters in the original and in Re;Birth 1, there are guards in 2 and 3, and then there's Umio in VII. Also this is Gamemarket, not Gamindustri. In this realm, the player is male and is hired as Noire's secretary. _You_ are secretary-san.
well there is plenty of male antagonists in the franchise. Mr. Badd from rebirth 3, Tricky, Anonydeath, CFW Brave, CFW Judge, and Warechu just to name a few. most of the non-evil male characters arent visible. and in this case the player interacts to Noire.
You're welcome to your opinion, but I strongly disagree. Sting makes highly detail oriented TBS games, and Hyperdevotion Noire is a perfect example. Now, maybe you don't like TBS. But that doesn't meant the game is bad. In fact, I hope that there will be a sequel someday.

You know I hope one day at least ONE male character is added to the cast with its own sprite, I could care less if its canon or not just PLEASE add at least one to the cast....
@@SatoshiMatrix1 one: it gets competitive and boring seeing only female characters all the time, Neptunia games aren't popular of what they used to now these days and two: It changes things a bit, it adds a little something new; like Honkai Impact 3rd, a mobile game which sets only Female playable characters like Neptunia has added a Male playable character that SOME enjoyed playing as, I said SOME because there still SOME people in the community that are hardcore lesbian shippers and only cares about the shipping and instead of storyline
@@jctolentino9436 Haha, well it's a misconception. A lot of people don't realize where this comes from, they think it's just Noire, and then get mad that it's not NepxNowa.
Correction: Noire, no matter from which dimension, is a massive tsundere. Unlike the Hyperdimension Noire, _this_ Noire isn't interested in Neptune at all. One common misunderstanding is that this Noire _isn't the same_ as the Hyperdimension Noire. Noire's yuri tendencies towards Neptune in some of the games do not contradict this Noire - they're different people. I think it's pretty great that they do this. It allows the Megatagmension Nepgear and Uni to openly admit they're in love with each other when that didn't and wouldn't happen to their Hyperdimension counterparts.
Fortunetely, all the games in the Neptunia series offer both voice tracks for those in each camp in the eternal dub vs sub debate. Personally, I flip-flop depending on the game. Sometimes English voice casting ruins games as it's often done so incredibly poorly. But sometimes English voice acting improves what was originally done. In this case, I think Erin Fitzgerald brings a quality to Noire that's missing from Asami Imai's portrayal. Fitzgerald is an equally talented actress who brings a sort of subtlety to Noire's tsundere nature that further enhances the character from just when she's overly tsundere. It's layering and that's something that very few dubs add. That's why I can't agree in this case.
For me (for Noire) both Dub and Sub are good, i'm a Sub one player for these game in like 95% of the time, but for some game like this one (for just some character not all) and Persona 4 Golden i prefer the English voice.
