Hyperdimension Neptunia/Story/Endings
There are 3 endings you can obtain in Hyperdimension Neptunia. The only endings that have trophies associated with them are Normal and True Endings. The requirements for each ending a summary will be listed below.
Note 1: In order to restore Neptune's memory you must go to each landmass first and speak with each of the CPUs and have them refuse to join you. After that, an event in Planeptune will become available which will lead to Neptune's memory restoration. This must all be done before heading to the final dungeon in Celestia.
Note 2: In order to recruit the CPUs you must raise their nation's shares to 70%. After this is done, an event will occur which will prompt you to fight the CPU one on one as Neptune in order to make them join. Please remember that Neptune or any of the other CPUs dying in battle will decrease their land's share count by 1% each time.
