As for its complexity, this is mostly due to the menu system. And I could do that over and over since magic points automatically refill each turn. I simply had a character with an AOE skill attack and one-shot all enemies every time. For the entire game, standard battles posed no challenge to me. The combat has unfortunately been made more complex and easier that the previous games. To compare it to another IF game, Fairy Fencer F Advent Dark Force, VIIR's plot isn't nearly as interesting, and I consider Fairy Fencer F to be above average at best. Thankfully, It did cause me to laugh out loud about once an hour, primarily due to the rare video game reference here and there. The main plot is generic and full of holes, but it presents itself in a comedic fashion, which I find to be acceptable. And of course, if you like the characters from the past games or anime series, and didn't appreciate the abundance of real-world references, then you'll likely think this game is great. Her writing and Japanese voice actor are excellent, If you're into constant 4th-wall breaking comedy. At least Neptune keeps things interesting. The interactions aren't bad, as long as you're okay with typical anime comedy. So the game mostly relies on random (and far-in-between) video games references and character interactions. And since the Dreamcast didn't last long and didn't really compete with anything, there's not much interesting here console-wars wise. You get only a tiny fraction of that in VIIR (and VII), with the game covering mostly the Dreamcast console. Each of their fights are based on real-world console war events (typically from a comedic standpoint). Hyperdimension Neptunia V (on PS3) is simply the best homage to the console wars I've experienced, turning companies into cute anime girls and having them constantly fighting each other for dominance. Technically better than V (although not much better), but missing the console war references that made V great from a writing standpoint.
