![]() ![]() They could’ve had English dubs for the cutscenes featuring Neptune and company in the game, but didn’t. One major benefit of the game having no dub is that every single line of dialogue in the game is voiced and I was not able to find any unvoiced dialogue lines unlike older Neptunia dubbed games. As well, the soundtrack in this game features Japanese vocals and it would be extremely difficult to translate these songs into English. This is because all of the Vtubers in this game are Japanese and only speak Japanese. You will have to play this title with Japanese voices and you’ll need to read the subtitles. One concern for many is that there is no English dub for this game. The writing and dialogue in this game is easily on-par with any of the mainline Neptunia games. If you are worried that the introduction of Vtubers or that because this is a spinoff game the writing would not be good, don’t worry at all. With the new MEWTRAL characters and Faira you’ll get plenty of funny character interactions and cutscenes. You’ll still see some of the regularly tropes such as Noire being lonely, Vert being into video games and MMORPGs, Blanc reading books, etc, but it’s certainly not overplayed. I found myself laughing out loud countless times because of how funny the character interactions are. It’s a very silly game, but the dialogue is just that witty. The dialogue is really well-written and the developers are with the times. One antagonist even calls the fictional Vtubers old men, but then goes on to say that he’s looking forward to watching a baseball game on cable later. The game shows the antagonists bullying around fictional Vtubers, harrassing them, stalking them, saying that they got lucky that one of their videos went viral, false copyright takedowns, etc. The story in the game does deal with the real-life issues that content creators have to face. In fact, I even realized that videos I was watching earlier in my spare time were Vtubers without even realizing it.Īt the same time, the addition of Vtubers is nonintrusive in this game and the plot of the game holds up well regardless. Years ago in the 2010’s, I’d always think to myself why there weren’t more streamers who wore costumes and outfits, but Vtubers are those who ended up doing that. Anybody can pick up this game and have a good time! In fact, I found myself looking up more of real-life Vtubers online after playing through this game because it was such a fascinating concept to me and such an interesting new way to do content creation. The game explains the concept of VTubers well and you’ll find yourself laughing at the plot even if you don’t regularly follow VTubers online. If you’re not familiar or even interested in such a concept, you don’t need to worry, the game stands up on its own feet regardless. If you’re not familiar with Vtubers, they’re YouTubers who use software to turn their face and body’s movements into an animated 3D character. ![]() The game itself is a collaboration between the developers of the Neptunia franchise and VTubers. It’s not necessarily meant to be a serious story, it’s meant to be funny and meant to be a parody to people who don’t support content creation. I can’t lie, the plot sounds silly, but the gameplay is fun and the interaction between characters is great. MEWTRAL is made up of two women named You and Me. ![]() Faira also teleports MEWTRAL to help her out in addition to the four goddesses. Her world is a unique one, that relies on entertainment called Content, with places such as Neotube.įaira needs the four goddess’s help because there’s an antagonist named Kado who is the leader of the planet Obsoletia, who is deleting all Content and attacking the poor Vtubers. In the first half hour of the game the four goddesses are teleported to a new world to help another goddess named Faira. This review will contain no story spoilers, but I will give a basic premise to the game’s plot. Neptunia Virtual Stars is a solid action game with a one-of-a-kind collaboration with many Virtual YouTubers, or Vtubers. ![]() Home» Game Guides» Neptunia Virtual Stars PS4 Review Image: Idea Factory and Compile Heart ![]()
