Todays "fun" Neptunia fact will go back to the speedrunning side. I say fun in "" because this is only fun if Vert isn't your favorite goddess. Each year the speedrunning community for Neptunia has a speedrunning marathon around the weekend closest to the launch date of the OG Nep. We also hold Goddess voting for everyones best Goddess. This year will our 10th Marathon in 9 years of doing them and not once has Vert not placed last in the voting.
Now I do love Vert despite her being my least favorite of the 4 I sadly do have to have a least favorite so it's sad to always see her last. I say this year we push her 3rd or better. I say this despite being a White Heart worshipper. Neptune needs to stop winning as well imo. I call all of my followers to pay attention as it gets closer and I post more info on this years marathon and when it happens we need to push for Neptune to get in not 1st and Vert to be in not last. I think we can give love to the CPU who needs it the most this year!
Reasons I love Plutia/Iris Heart
(Please note I'm mainly going off of her Anime interpretation)
Plutia:
- Is one of the sweetest and kindest characters in the series
- Gets along with and is much more friendly to Neptune than the other CPUs, which can lead to some wholesome moments between the two
- her constant desire for sleep is both relatable and adorable
- spends time out of her day making dolls for her friends to show how much she loves and appreciates them
- pulls Neptune up from her lowest point (twice!)
- Several scenes imply she is much more wise and smarter than her aloof nature implies
- Takes on a parental role to Peashy, IF, and Compa
- Does NOT tolerate others abusing or toying with her friends
Iris Heart:
- Is a sexy dominatrix (I like bad girls okay)
- Her more chaotic personality adds an interesting dynamic to her interactions with others
- Is gentle to her companions but cruel to her enemies. This also adds some depth to her character versus in the games where she's aggressive to *everyone*
- The one time she fights Neptune/Purple Heart, it's done to force her to confront her feelings and regrets instead of running away from them
- Will go Mama Bear mode should any of her friends be threatened
I can understand why most people hate Plutia/Iris Heart considering how she acted in the few games she was in, but I think the Anime showed that you can make her a likable and interesting character without drastically changing her core character traits

Why yes, I am enjoying Neptunia GMRE, it's quite a step up from Sisters gameplay wise. Though weirdly, I really like how the bike controls of all things.
