Order of games?

[Kanimi]

I have the first 3 games, played through the first 2 and here I see the 7th game but cannot find the inbetween 3. Does it just jump from 3 to 7? Are the others not available on steam? I am so confused! Please clarify this for me.

Re;Birth2 -> Re;Birth3 -> Megadimension VII. Re;Birth1 is a NON-CANON standalone title.

VII also stands for Victory II not 7 since the game is a direct sequel to Victory/Re;Birth3

Megadimension VII is also the 4th installment in the main series with its remake VIIR coming next year.

Thank you!

Is Arfoire's identity revealed again in ReBirth 2 ? Trying to see the importance of Rebirth 1, it feels like such bomb shells are dropped in it, but if it's Non-canon then is it just an alternate storyline that ends then and there ?

Edit: Haven't finished the first game though, put in 40+ hours and still 2 chapters to go

Hyperdimension Neptunia (PS3)/Re;Birth1 take place in the Superdimension which is an alternate dimension. mk2/Re;Birth2 is basically a reboot of the series that retconned the events that happened in either games.

Arfoire in Re;Birth2 is a different version called the Deity of Sin and obviously it isn't connected to the "prequel" since none of the events from that game are brought up (although Re;Birth1 does bring up a certain sword from Re;Birth2 game as a joke) and none of the CPU Candidates even know each other in the game despite being playable and having a little dialogue in Re;Birth1.

While Rebirth 1 isnt "canon", its still referenced in the games (heck, even the old trilogy is sometimes referenced).

So one should just play them in order. From Rebirth 1,2 (Action U, Noire's game),3, etc

But yeah, Rebirth 1 and Action U take place in the same universe (Superdimension), Rebirth 2,3,VII take place in Megadimension, all other spin-offs take place in their own universes (altho some events from the main games are referenced).

Another port?

Doesnt 1 tell us where the CPU and CPU Candidates come from? Granted the true ending puts it in another world.

VII can also be the 7th game in the series, the rebirth series is just a remake of the original 3 games, with the removal of Nisa and Gust as characters replacing them with Red due to breaking off with some parthners.

Nisa is between compa, falcom, and blanc, and Gust is all the way to the left.

so hyperdimention MK1, hyperdimention MK2, Hyperdimention victory.
Hyperdimention Rebirth1 (4), hyperdimention rebirth 2 (5) hyperdimention rebirth 3 (6)
megadimention Victory II (VII or 7)

Too bad Victory II started development before any of the Re;Births became a thought which would still make it the 4th main installment in the series.

That dumb myth about the PS3 trilogy + Re;Birth Trilogy + Megadimension = VII needs to go because many idiots also thought Victory on PS3 was the "5th" release of the series when it was actually the third.

I already know who Gust and NISA are so there was really no need to bring them up and they still appear in other games outside Neptunia.
