Story

Prologue

In the Gamindustri Graveyard, the hearts fights with Magic the Hard of the Four Felons. Despite their best efforts, the four of them are defeated while Nepgear watches on helplessly. An opening narration, explaining that rampant piracy increases have resulted in the creation of ASIC, the Arfoire Syndicate of International Crime. 3 years later, IF and Compa arrive on the scene to help, guided by Histoire. Finding the captured Hearts, Compa manages to free Nepgear and the three are forced to fight CFW Judge. Unable to harm him, Nepgear uses the Sharicite, the crystalized form of the people's faith, to blind him. Nepgear passes out from the strain while IF and Compa carry her to safety.

Chapter 1: Divine Oratorio

Regrouping in Planeptune, the party meets up with Histoire, who decides their next best course of action is gain the power of the mascot characters of each landmass in order to combat ASIC. As Histoire gathers info on the mascot's location, the party begins restoring Planeptune's shares away from ASIC. Eventually, they find the location of the mascot, but are interupted by Linda, an ASIC member whom they dub "Underling". IF shields Nepgear from a critical hit from Underling, not wanting to see her get hurt after what happened in the Graveyard. Inspired, Nepgear activates HDD Mode and beats Underling. While Underling manages to escape and destroy the mascot character, its spirit lives on and grants the party its power. The party then decides to head to Lastation.

Chapter 2: The Crossroads of Defeat.

Shortly after arriving in Lastation, the party meets up with Uni, the CPU Canidate and Noire's sister. She and Nepgear get along famously for a while, but when they join forces to fight Underling and reveal their natures to each other, Uni gets mad at Nepgear for not saving Noire and leaves calling her a traitor. Though upset, Nepgear and party continue on and meet with Kei, Lastation's Oracle who promises to tell the the mascot's location if they help her first and give her information on Noire. They first go to the Virtua Forest Depths looking to get one of the items on the list. However, Underling lay in wait with HDD-blocking cronies. The party is saved by the timely arrival of Nisa, who helps fight off the enemies, and joins the party afterwards. As they travel, Compa ends up aiding Pirachu, who falls for her, and takes off. While getting the second item of the list they run into Uni once more who attempts to apologize to Nepgear, but ends up arguing with her instead (while Compa is having tea with a monster). Underling once again interferes and corrupts the monster which the party defeats. Afterwards, Uni challenges Nepgear to a duel which she accepts. Uni is defeated much to her despair as she realizes even when alone Nepgear is still stronger than her. Kei eventually directs them to the location of the mascot, meeting Falcom for the first time along the way. After finally locating the stubborn mascot who refuses to leave, they run into Pirachu once again who reveals he is part of ASIC and it's there to destroy the mascot. He attempts to convince Compa to join, but after Compa tells him she hates her enemies and refuses to join ASIC, an heartbroken Pirachu attempts to make her join by force but is defeated. The mascot agrees to lend Nepgear her power and the party returns to Lastation. Uni and Nepgear make up agreeing to be friends once again. Nepgear offers Uni to join the party, but Uni out of fear of becoming a burden says to wait until she's stronger. The party leaves for Lowee with Kei warning them that Lowee CPU Candidates are a handful.

Heading next to Lowee, they run into Underling once again, who flees and takes a hostage. Once they catch up to her, they discover her hostage is actually Rom, one of Lowee's CPU Candidates. The other, Ram, saves her and the party beats Underling. Rom and Ram, mistaking Nepgear as trying to steal their shares, attack her, but fail and flee. After meeting with the Oracle, Nepgear gets seperated from the party for a bathroom break and runs into Rom, looking for her pen. She helps her find it and the two bond a bit. After regrouping with the party, they locate the mascot character, only to discover its power was keeping an army of Killachines, ancient Arfoire weapons, in check and the mascot is shattered as they escape from one. Fortunately, they run into Gust, who offers to fix it with alchemy, and does so after they gather the ingredients, with some help from Falcom. With no choice but to return the mascot to stop the Killachines, the party travels to the altar to contain them, fighting off several mechanical baddies along the way with the help of Rom and Ram. Upon reaching there, the mascot splits in two, allowing it to grant the party its power while still keeping the machines sealed away.

They soon arrive in Leanbox and meet with the Oracle there, Chika. Despite their wariness, they decide to take a job to eliminate a nearby monster that is said to be very weak. Nepgear's overconfidence nearly gets her killed, but she is saved just in time by Cave. They confront Chika over this, but she plays dumb so they decide to let it go, but are still wary. Afterwards, Nepgear meets up with Rom and Ram then Uni who are all trying regain shares for their respective nations but to little success. They go to a concert where they first see 5pb and are amazed by her singing ability. They end up seeing Linda trying to cause trouble, but despite Cave's help she manages to get away. Afterwards with the help of Uni, they expose the current Chika as a fake, revealing it's Linda in disguise. She runs off with the party and Cave giving chase. While they lose her, they find the real Chika who at first acts as if she dying, but Cave exposes her. Chika then gives them the location of Leanbox's mascot, but when they go there they find Linda and Pirachu who they defeat at first. However, Linda uses a device which powers her and Pirachu up and easily are able to counterattack. Luckily 5pb arrives and heals the heroes while weaking Linda and Pirachu. The two ASIC members are quickly defeated afterward 5pb revealing her shy nature and the Green Mascot agrees to lend her power to them. Afterwards, Chika decides to throw a concert to help raise shares. The crowd goes crazy for 5pb, but when a boyband named Jupiter is introduced the crowd begins to boo. 5pb nearly loses her confidence, but thanks to the helpful intervention of Nepgear and the other CPU Candidates they win the crowd back over. Uni still denies an invite to the party and so do Rom and Ram (well, Ram only). 5pb, however, is motivated by the performance and joins the party. If the player has the Cave Lincense DLC, they can return to Leanbox right afterwards and Cave will also join the party.

Chapter 3: A Divine Hunger

As the party plans to return to Planeptune to form a strategy, Histoire calls and asks them to investigate a small island off the coast under attack by ASIC, beliving it to be a move to shift attack focus back on Planeptune. There, they join forces with Falcom and manage to drive them off.

Returning to Planeptune, Histoire prepares to convert the mascot power into Sharicite. IF then receives a call from the Guild informing her of a 90% drop in Lowee shares due to ASIC activity. The party boogies over there and takes down an ASIC chip factory, fighting Pirachu in the process. After that, Linda reappears and brainwashes Rom into serving ASIC. The party follows them to discover the one in control is CFW Trick, another major ASIC member. He takes control of Ram and the party is forced to fight them, then Trick. The villains flee, but Rom and Ram recover and join the party.

Soon, the party hears of another chip factory in Lastation. Heading down there, they find Uni engaged in combat with CFW Brave, one of ASIC's major members. Nepgear and Uni take down Brave, who retreats, and Uni officially joins the party.

Chapter 4: Goddess Awakening

The next morning, the party ventures through the Gamindustri Graveyard, making their way to the captive goddesses guarded by a bored CFW Judge. Nepgear gains a new HDD form from the power of the mascot characters and uses it with the party to destroy Judge. Using the sharicite, the goddesses are freed.

Chapter 5

After completing Chapters 1-4, the few DLCs including dungeons and the CPUs are playable.

After returning the CPUs to Planeptune, the party plans their next move when a sudden burst of activity from the Gamindustry Graveyard catches their attention. Immediately returning to investigate, the party finds CFW Magic is forcibly advancing their plan to revive Arfoire. They battle, but CFW Magic defeats the party. Before she can strike them down, the Hearts return and save them, causing Magic to retreat. Due to the distribution of shares, only Neptune is well-enough to continue fighting and she joins the party after.

During the chaos, Pirachu flees the graveyard, having been infected by a portion of Arfoire's power and grown to an enormous size. As he causes havoc across the land, Nepgear worries that they can win, but the faith of the others gives her power and weakens Pirachu, allowing them to defeat him.
