Why I Don't Like the Gold Third

This isn’t a rant or anything, but it’s one of those opinion blogs about why I don’t like this one thing. This time, I’m gonna talk about the Gold Third from the Neptunia series and why I don’t like them.

I just found out that the Gold Third will be returning for Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution and suddenly I’ve lost all interest in wanting to try the game out. Literally, these characters are the one reason I probably won’t play it. Part of the reason is because I simply don’t like their games, specifically C-Sha and S-Sha, but also because some of them, specifically B-Sha, are just too confusing because I don’t quite understand what game publishers they represent, but it’s just B-Sha, the other three I already know.

Who is B-Sha really?

Is B-Sha supposed to represent Bandai Namco? Let me clarify that Bandai is the toy company owned by Toei, the anime studio best known for anime series’ like DragonBall, Sailor Moon, Gundam, Digimon, Naruto and One Piece, as well as the studio that does the live-action series Super Sentai (or it’s Americanized version the Power Rangers). Bandai pretty much also does video games based on Toei anime. By the mid 2000s, Bandai ended up joining with Namco, the publishers best known for games like Pac-Man, Tekken, the Tales Of series, Ridge Racer, Time Crisis, Soul Calibur, Katamari, Dark Souls and Idolm@ster.

I’ll get to the point, I think it makes better sense if B-Sha was instead named “N-Sha”. That way, she can represent Namco instead of Bandai. Now that I have a better look at her, that thumbs-up pose does make her look like Pac-Man, the official mascot for Namco. But I’ve read that her interests include toys, robots and superheroes, are these all references to Gundam and Super Sentai? I just feel like Namco would be a much superior gaming publisher then Bandai. If B-Sha was named N-Sha, it would be much cooler to see her make MORE references to some of Namco’s best games like Pac-Man and Tekken. That’s just my opinion.

I never did think C-Sha and S-Sha were cool.

In C-Sha’s case, at the time Megadimension Neptunia came out, I was fed up from having to see Capcom take all the glory since the early to mid 2010s. I was annoyed by things like…

The live-action Resident Evil film series.

Resident Evil 6 and the series’ bad spinoffs.

Street Fighter getting more praise than my favorite fighting games.

Mega Man being a fan favorite in Super Smash Bros.

Akuma’s appearance in Tekken 7.

Ace Attorney getting special editions for the 3DS and the original games being ported to the PS4. Like, how many more ports are they gonna keep making?

The popularity of Monster Hunter. Seriously, I never understood the hype about that series.

It was enough to make me want to not play Capcom games and instead boycott them. Doing this meant that I had to quit playing Devil May Cry which was the ONLY Capcom game I’ve ever appreciated. It was just annoying to see people think of Capcom as number 1 but I had the opposite opinion and thought Capcom was just sold out. Even to this day, I’m still not over it.

As for S-Sha, well, I’d rather not get into too much detail as to why I’m not into Square Enix games, but the constant popularity of games like Final Fantasy was just too annoying for me to handle, simply because I was bad at Final Fantasy and thought that it’s popularity as the number 1 game series was more like peer pressure. And having to hear S-Sha say “I’m not interested” that one line Cloud had in that CG movie Advent Children is not really funny. Like, why did they have to make it sound cliche?

K-Sha is probably the only one I thought was good enough for my tastes.

I got nothing against Konami and I don’t mind the Metal Gear references K-Sha makes. But after learning about the shady stuff the company’s been doing for the last decade, it made me think that maybe K-Sha should’ve made those kinds of references. Here's what I think.

Since the early to mid 2010s, Konami has had a lack of interest in wanting to keep making big AAA (triple A) games and instead showed interest in wanting to make cheap mobile games, the kind of games that involve either microtransactions or gacha mechanics. However, games designers like Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima didn’t like this shift, so what did Konami do about it? Fire Kojima as soon as he was done with Metal Gear Solid 5. I had an idea for a joke that K-Sha should’ve appeared in Sisters VS Sisters and befriend Maho, whose favorite games are mobile gacha games, and that K-Sha had a close friend important to her, but fired her because her friend wasn’t into mobile gacha games.

Likewise, I feel like I would’ve liked K-Sha more if she made more then just Metal Gear references and made MORE references to some of Konami’s other great games like Frogger, Castlevania, Contra, Silent Hill, Dance Dance Revolution, Zone of the Enders, they could even have her make Yu-Gi-Oh references if they wanted. Or better yet, they should have K-Sha marry Peashy or Yellow Heart, that way, their new marriage can be a reference to Konami’s acquisition of Hudson games like Bomberman.

Who is F-Sha?

So I just ended up learning that Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution has a new character to the series, calling themselves F-Sha. I literally have no idea who this character represents. She dresses like a knight in silver, but the name or design doesn’t give me any idea as to what sort of game publisher she’s named after. Like, what company in the gaming world do I know that starts with the letter “F”? Odds are, it’s probably a Japanese publisher that does Japanese RPGs I’m not familiar with, you know, because I’m a Westerner and I don’t normally play RPGs. I could just look it up on the fan wiki, but I don’t think I’m gonna like this character based on the other members of the Gold Third.

If Neptunia really wanted to impress me with the Gold Third, they could’ve included members that are based on other kinds of game publishers. Like, I would love it if there was a member called “U-Sha” who would represent Ubisoft. But of course, Ubisoft is based in Canada, not Japan, so they can’t do that. Heck, I had an idea for a joke that K-Sha is married to someone called “T-Sha” and the two of them represent Koei Tecmo and this is to reference Koei’s joining with Tecmo. And as I mentioned, it makes better sense if B-Sha was named N-Sha and should instead reference Namco instead of Bandai, otherwise, you can make a joke saying that B-Sha actually represents Bethesda (I hope that’s how I spelled it).

In Conclusion

Overall, if I had to name the worst Neptunia characters, it would be the Gold Third. I realize that the reasons I don’t like them is simply because…

In C-Sha and S-Sha’s case, I don’t like their games.

I think B-Sha should’ve been named N-Sha and have her represent Namco instead of Bandai.

They should’ve had more members, like a member called U-Sha named after Ubisoft.

I don’t want to say I’m not excited about this new Neptunia game, but depending on what gaming references this one makes, I probably won’t be that interested if this one makes references to games I’m not entirely big on. And it's worse because the Gold Third is making a return. But sooner or later, I’m probably gonna have to suck it up and deal with it.

the dreadful discussion.

AFTER AGES, IM BACK BABEY with some domestic k-9 fanart for @magewolf-the-artist

backgrounds weren’t backgrounding so i made up with Cool Texture

[magewolf-the-artist]

Oh boy, angst fest!

This probably takes place sometime in the Adjustment Period when Rosemary had a continuous breakdown. This was one of the many methods Rocket used in their ongoing efforts to get Rosemary to stop crying. Most of them were ineffective but this time it worked so… yay, I guess?

Edd probably didn’t think it would work but let Molly take the lead because god knows he doesn’t have any ideas

HAPPY HALLOWEEN YALL

It's Halloween and I wanted to share with @crazyyanderefangirlfan but also others my Disney Villain Recruiters AU Cast's Halloween Costumes!

Why? Cause I wanna while I work on my final touches for the night >:3

Jac was basically pulling a Dan Howell

He got a lot of candies at parties along with some numbers and was having a blast dancing with plenty of cuties.

At some point of the night; Joe: sees Jac come into the room "Are you okay?" Jac: grinning "Yeah just did some prayers in the broom closet~"

Sia was having a blast as a Ghostface killer

She always loved Scream and you know she took the chance of the year to be her favorite slasher. But sadly she got a lot of flirting comments related to her costume

Maria wanted to be different and was a cop,

She was going as a judge but after some talking with Janice she decided to be a cop instead. She was heavily judging Jac's Instagram posts of his costume

Joseph was having a fun time dressed like Jason,

Go big or go home am I right?

Since Jac was gonna freeze his buns off as a nun, Ivan and Aya decided to be good friends and dress up as a Priest (Aya) and a demon (Ivan),

Lots of what the fuck looks as the three walk around, especially with Ivan rocking some red heels and walking so good

Janice had a hard time picking her costume but settled on Freddy Krueger

So she wasn't too fond doing it since it was showing some skin but she enjoyed it in the end

Sha was having a blast as a little kitty cat

It was easy, she had the dress already, and Sia did her nails

Wilhelm wasn't going to dress up but then they all were whining at him for being a weirdo about it so he settled as a vampire

Thought afterwards Jac teased him for going extra in the end lmao

And finally Charles was gonna do a classic and did the Invisible Man

This was the best costume for him! He didn't need to use too much makeup, he had the robe, and he was already in love with The Invisible Man! He watched it a lot after getting out of the hospital and even mimicked Jack Griffin's laugh perfectly

[magewolf-the-artist]

I've been meaning to re-do the old ref sheets + get around to making Charles and Bon's ref sheets for months now but either I didn't feel motivated or all the sketches turned out bunk. So, my solution is to do mini-refs of multiple characters at once. Killing three birds with one giant animatronic claw, one could say.

Anyways, here's the og victims, Susan, Charles, and Rosemary!

Side note: If you decide to draw these guys, do not feel obligated to follow the hole diagrams bit by bit, lord knows I can barely keep them straight. They're more like guidelines, for the general shape
