Here’s A First Look At The CPU Candidates In ‘Four Goddesses Online: Cyberdimension Neptunia’
Courtesy of Dengeki Playstation, the Japanese gaming magazine that typically breaks the latest news regarding the Neptunia series of games, has revealed the CPU candidates for the upcoming Four Goddesses Online: Cyberdimension Neptunia.
Taking place in the same MMORPG that Vert, the CPU of Leanbox, is often seen playing in the main series, each of the girls now hold more traditional RPG job classes as they work to survive in this virtual world. Prior reveals showed that Neptune would be a Paladin, Noire a Dark Knight, Blanc as a healer/White Mage, and Vert as an Enchantress. No further details were known about the cast until now, but we know that when the CPU’s are around, their sisters can’t be far behind. With the most recent reveal, we now know what roles the younger girls will be playing based on some recently released concept art.
Based on the images, it appears as if Nepgear will take the role of a witch/Black Mage, Uni will be a gunner, Rom takes up her sword as a samurai, and her twin sister, Ram, will be the Ninja of the group. Uni makes sense since she’s always specialized in long ranged rifles, but the rest of the class assignments are surprising role swaps compared to the main game. Typically an attacker with light healing abilities, Nepgear going full-on mage is new for Nep Jr. On the other hand, Rom leaving the position of the team’s healer, and Ram becoming a class known for its speed and item usage as opposed to her usual offensive magic attacks, I’m really curious as to how each character will fit into these roles.
But first, we need to learn something about the game, with new pieces of information being few and far between. A release date, platform, or even what kind of game it will be outside of the vague description of a simulated MMORPG is still unknown, but for the time being, we’ll take whatever trickles out.
