This has confused me...How old are the CPU candidates in this game?

[Genius Destroyer]

even though they look...pretty much the same as they did in rebirth 2

my confusion comes from V since theres a segment where i think five/ten years have past in the Ultra dimension (Plutia's world) where as in hyperdimension only five/ten days have passed

so that means nepgear is older than the other CPU candidates right?...if thats the case..why do rom and rom still act/look like kids while Uni and Nepgear LOOK like they are in their teens?

i know CPU's/CPU candidates don't age...but how old do they stoic age at?

so yeah...how old are the candidates?...since the CPU's are 100's of years old

I think the thing about Rom and Ram's appearance are based off the consoles (considering the ds is small) well, if you are to put that into perspective Nepgear is now technically the eldest of them candidates. Also the Candidates are based off the appearance of their respective handhelds.

[Ztarman]

The goddesses are ageless so they'll always look the same for eternity.

I think the demographic of their respective handhelds factor in for their appearance/behavior. DS was aimed at kids, PSP was aimed at teens and GameGear was for the "cool mature kids".

[deathgaze01]

They will never age because they are waifus.

I wish they would do something about them but honestly that will never happened, imoutos will stay young forever unless a spin off changes that

[itachixmaster]

goddesses dont have age because are eternal so everything is legal
Noire have a quote about that on her arc(i dont remember if was there) when K-sha wanna give to drink something with alcohol

[Ifrit's ShadowA41™]

Any character not from the Ultra Dimension won't age at the same rate as Ultra Dimension residents becuase it'd only be a few days for them. Depending on how long they stay.

Minor spoiler related to Re;Birth 3 True end:
Near the end of the game while Big Histy and Mini Histy are discussing if leaving teleport device between Hyperdimension and Ultradimension is safe, one of them points out that it somehow stabilized time flow between their dimensions.

Yup. That was a minor plot point, but fairly significant for the game world to have some internal consistency to it.

Cpus do not age

[Masuo15]

I dont even know if the CPU Candidates age or not.

Megadimension Neptunia spoiler
Mostly because there is an scene were Nepgear implys Uni'schest got bigger (not really), but the fact Nepgear belived this change was even possible suggest the candidates can age or their bodys could change.

I do belive CPU, CPU Candidates and Histoire dont age at all, but the other oracles do age; wich might be why we havent see them with an active role on the series but in one game.

Vert's boobs have also grown according to one of news from Nepstation, so I think eternal youth is true for CPUs, but their bodies aren't totally unchanging.

Now that you menttion it....wasnt there an event on RE;Birth3 of Blanc asking Marvy about her secrets for her bust and deciding on follow Marvy's diet in order to gain some?

[Spirit Shard]

This is the main thing that bothered me in Mk2 and V (Re;birth 2-3), they just completely ignore that years just passed by, no interaction of the player and litterally nothing changes but some key plot points. They needed time to pass so they just made time pass, but they really didn't give much else to the player...

All it is is what I'd like to call "plot convinience", they neeeded time to pass so they did it, in V (Rebirth 3) they screwed with time-flow just so things sorta made sense but they still kinda just ignored it. In-fact I'd say that's how the plot around character age has always been in Neptunia games, sure CPUs are explained as eternally youthful and this could be used to explain the lack of personality changes as well (although V2 does have some arcs... finally) but even non-relevant characters don't seem to age either! (V2 early G Neptune spoiler)You can use Warechu, Iffy, Compa as an example, the other oracles aged theoretically, but iffy and compa are still young... adults? I'm fine with time not really having much effect on the characters in Neptunia, sure it's annoying but whatever, too many games use time passage as a major keypoint so it's nice that it's just ignored here.

tldr; they just ignore it and do what they want. CPUs are based on general console feel and appearances while the canidates are based on handhelds, both take personality traits of the companies (creatively of-course).

well they are........ then again ch will never put them into full grown bodies unless they kill the cpus first and japan almost ceased to exist when the conquest ending was introduced so unfortunately them growing up will never happen

I think the only way for them to grow up is losing their powers as a CPU.
