Story[]
Gamindustri –
A distant world comprised of four nations,
each under the divine protection of a Goddess.
Planeptune: Land of Purple Progress, ruled by Neptune
Lastation: Land of Black Regality, ruled by Noire
Lowee: Land of White Serenity, ruled by Blanc
Leanbox: Land of Green Pastures, ruled by Vert
Locked in the Console War,
the four Goddesses vie for domination of the planet
until Neptune is cast down and stripped of her power.
Now Neptune must fight to restore her place,
but could a being known as Arfoire threaten
the very world the Goddesses have sworn to protect?
Gameplay[]
Characters[]
CPUs[]
- Neptune
- Voiced by: Rie Tanaka (Japanese), Melissa Fahn (English)
- The main character of this game. She has amnesia, but stays so cheerful and energetic, it aggravates both her friends and enemies. Sometimes her friends wonder if she isn't faking her condition. Neptune is actually the CPU who protects Planeptune, Purple Heart. Unlike her human form, Purple Heart looks more adult and has a much more mature personality to match. When the going gets tough, she is the one to rely on.
- Noire
- Voiced by: Asami Imai (Japanese), Erin Fitzgerald (English)
- The CPU that protects Lastation. She is hard-working and polite, but she has trouble opening up to others. Basically, she is a tsundere. Her personality grows more aggressive after she transforms. However, her tsundere attitude stays the same, and she views Neptune as her rival.
- Vert
- Voiced by: Rina Satou (Japanese), Tara Platt (English)
- The CPU that protects Leanbox. She appears to be an elegant lady, but she's actually a hardcore gamer. After transformation, she loses her airiness and becomes calm and analytical. Her personality may not change as much as the other CPUs, but she does become more aggressive.
- Blanc
- Voiced by: Kana Asumi (Japanese), Wendee Lee (English)
- The CPU that protects Lowee. Her hobby is reading. She normally has a quiet personality, but when she snaps, no one can stop her. Neptune says: "Youngster with a short fuse."

- Plutia
- Voiced by: Kana Hanazawa (Japanese), Cherami Leigh (English)

- Uzume Tennouboshi
- Voiced by: Mariko Honda (Japanese), Erica Lindbeck (English)
- The CPU of Planeptune from the Zero Dimension. Though she can be pretty blunt or harsh at times, deep down, she has a kind heart.

Once transformed, her lively and gruff personality completely reverses and exudes an adorably cheerful temperament.
