* [[InfinityPlusOneSword Infinity Plus One Disc]]: The final blank disc you receive has lv.5 capacity for all three colors. The catch? You receive this disc only after you have obtained all 26 Large Medals, which are RandomlyDrops from the most powerful class of boss monsters in the game. Once you get this disc you can create the CallOfDuty godly game which confers the unique CPU Defense ability and the Break Damage Limit ability, making it useful for the final boss and the bosses which drop the designs for the ultimate weapons and armor as well as certain Colosseum fights.

* YearInsideHourOutside: [[spoiler:One year inside Plutia's world is only a day for Neptune's world. Until the True End, anyway.]]

* YearInsideHourOutside: Just like in mk2, it takes 3 <insert unit of time here> for Histoire to finish something. This becomes absolutely ludicrous on Neptune's end, because what takes a day in the Hyperdimension, takes a ''year'' in the ''Victory'' dimension. This results in a TimeSkip early on where three years pass between Chapters before Hyperdimension Histoire can report back to Neptune and Plutia on her results.

* NintendoHard: Oh, '''''[[SequelDifficultySpike hell yes.]]''''' Despite the streamlined system making combat much less of a hassle than its predecessor, ''Victory'' tends to be far more unforgiving than either of the games before it, largely due to the fact that monsters you find in the average RandomEncounters have [[TookALevelInBadass shot up twenty levels of badass]], capable of decimating almost any team that's even the slightest bit unprepared, and even giving properly outfitted players a run for their money. If you get ambushed by an enemy, you'll wind up seeing the GameOver screen a high percentage of the time, which is made even more painful due to the lack of [[{{Autosave}} auto-saving]]. And let's not get started on the ''bosses...''

* PurposefullyOverpowered: [[LimitBreak EXE Skills]] tend to be ridiculously overpowered compared to anything else you have in your arsenal and tend to [[ForMassiveDamage deal ludicrous damage]] to pretty much any boss (and possibly [[OneHitKill one-shot them]]), if you're able to grind up enough Drive to actually use them. This is in a NintendoHard game where almost every boss is ThatOneBoss.

** DiscontinuityNod: There's also several nods to the first game placed here and there, for example Financier is now a citizen in the basilicom.

*** [[FromBadToWorse It Gets Worse:]] when you DO finally meet the target monster, assuming you're doing this as soon as the Quest became available, chances are its going to be way too powerful for you and introduce you to the Game Over screen. Still want to go for that perfect 40 on the end of chapter evaluation?

[[http://www.compileheart.com/neptune_v/ The Japanese]] and [[http://nisamerica.com/games/NeptuniaVictory/ English]] sites of the game are currently up.

--> You're kidding, right? C'mon, don't be weird.

The third game in the VideoGame/{{Neptunia}} series, {{JRPG}}s featuring [[MoeAnthropomorphism moe anthropomorphisms]] of the gaming industry in a humorous take on the ConsoleWars, as well as the first sequel in the series, due to the previous game being a ContinuityReboot.

* ShoutOut [[ShoutOut/{{Neptunia}} This series has its own page.]]

* ShoutOut: During one of the Nepstation Segments, the game mentions "A raging treat, Blanc manju". This is quite obviously a reference to the "Rage Manju" (better known as the [=RageCandyBar=] in localizations) from Pokemon Gold and Silver and their remakes. The fact that Blanc is the CPU for the SNES (i.e. Nintendo) and Lowee just looks exactly like Ecruteak City from the remakes makes this even more obvious.
** Atranger is a reference to GeppyX .
** In the description of the Mai Waifu accessory for Plutia and Neptune, it tells you to give it to someone who seems totally wifey and [[{{K-ON}} Moe Moe Kyun]].
** This line from the end of Chapter 2:
--->'''Neptune''': [[VideoGame/BlazBlue The wheel of fate is turning!]] [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Heaven or hell, let's rock!]] Let's kick butt, Plutie!

* [[spoiler: AdultFear: A man showing up (one of the villains at that), pretending to be the father of a child and said child ''willingly'' going with him? Efficient kidnapping, to say the least.]]

* [[spoiler: PrecisionFStrike: During the Good Ending route, where Neptune and Plutia accidentally leave Nepgear behind in Plutia's dimension.]]

** [[spoiler: YearInsideHourOutside: One year inside Plutia's world is only a day for Neptune's world. Until the True End, anyway.]]

* PantyShot: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svPheB4ex1M I don't mind if you take a peek.]]

** Yet another one involving Iris Heart, but this time, her and Neptune. Apparently, something happened [[spoiler: between the timeskip]] that causes Purple Heart to blush and say she just got carried away, or let her emotions rule herself. Yeah...we can see where that's headed.

** The DLC weapons can also spoil which CPU characters can join your party, since you get then immediately after download, regardless of your point in the story.

* EpicFail: Among other things, the VirtualBoy [[CrowningMomentOfFunny conversation]].

* ActorAllusion: For the quest to kill five Cuberials, the client's name is "Uni Sound-alike". This would refer to Sayaka Miki from ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', since Uni and Sayaka have the same Japanese voice actress (Eri Kitamura) and the same English-dub voice actress (Sarah Williams).

Taking place sometime after the second game, Neptune is kicking back and enjoying the peace from Arfoire's defeat when she finds herself sucked into a portal and awakens in an alternate dimension. This world is a version of Gamindustri set in a time similar to the 1980's, under siege by a group of enemies known as the Seven Sages. Teaming up with this world's [=CPUs=], Neptune must figure out a way to get home and defeat these new enemies.

* BonusBoss: Several of the end-game scout dungeons have CPU clones for their Tough Foes. First of all, their respective dungeons must first be unlocked through scouting, then the dungeons themselves must be scouted while the flag is standing until the "spawn powerful monster" result is achieved. As for the bosses themselves, Tough Foes in general are the most powerful class of boss monster in the game but these enemies take it one step further by using their EXE Drives against you. Beating them gives you a chance at acquiring the plans for their respective characters' ultimate weapons and armor (which are of course RandomlyDrops).

* BonusBoss: Several of the end-game scout dungeons have CPU clones for their Tough Foes. Each of them can drop the plans for their respective characters' ultimate weapons and armor. Tough Foes in general are the most powerful class of boss monster in the game, but these enemies take it to a new level thanks to one important factor: they can use their [[LimitBreak EXE Drives]] against you.

* BonusBoss: Lots of them.

* [[InfinityPlusOneSword Infinity Plus One Disc]]: The final blank disc you receive has lv.5 capacity for all three colors. The catch? You receive this disc only after you have obtained all 26 Large Medals, which are RandomlyDrops from the most powerful class of boss monsters in the game. Once you get this disc, though, you can create the CallOfDuty godly game which confers the unique CPU Defense ability as well as the Break Damage Limit ability, making it useful for the final boss and the bosses which drop the designs for the ultimate weapons and armor as well as certain Colosseum fights.

* [[InfinityPlusOneSword Infinity Plus One Disc]]: The final disc that you unlock this game gives you a level 5 to ''all three colors''. The catch? In addition to getting the quest rank of S, you'll have to collect ''all 26 medals of the game'' which can only be obtained by killing (for the most part) bosses in the zone with the flag up (aka the place must have a "Tough Foe" in the dungeon, though some have to be at "Risky Foe"). ''And they're not easy''.
** This disc is the only one that can contain the CallOfDuty godly game, which confers the unique CPU Defense ability. This ability reduces damage taken from CPU-type enemies, giving it utility against the final boss and the enemies who drop the designs for the ultimate weapons which are all CPU-type. It is also useful for Colosseum battles against CPU enemies which also happen to be the best battles for post-game exp grinding. The chip combo for Call of Duty also includes the Break Damage Limit ability which is certainly useful at this stage in the game. Unfortunately one of the enemies this would be useful on happens to carry one of the Large Medals you need to get the disc in the first place.
