It's easy to explain Noire, cause she's not my favorite character :
She's always working her butt off tirelessly for the people of her nation to live up to expectations and perceptions that are wholly unrealistic. She does this so the people of her nation have something/someone to believe in. She also likes cats, which gives her a bunch of points ;)

Uni....
Spoiler:
well, firstly, she ALSO likes cats. In some ways she has it worse, but not exactly, than Noire. She's always in the shadow of an older sister who 'does everything'. And she's always working towards being as great a person as her sister, training tirelessly and taking on things that are beyond her experience/level. But she never really can ever catch up to her sister exactly. She probably went through her life being told 'your sister is so amazing!' 'Your sister can do anything!' all the time. As well as things like, 'you should work harder like your sister.' Yet, even with all of this, she didn't take a path of jealousy where she grew bitter to her older sister, but just saw her as a role model that she had to work hard to be accepted by. Not once do you hear from Uni something bad about her sister. She only talks about how much she adores Noire, and how much she wants to make her proud someday.


There are other reasons as well, but I figured this is a good stopping point.

I sometimes wonder if people hate the candidates because they weren't the CPUs?

Well if anything MK2 seemed to dumb the CPU's down from being omnipotent beings to just political figureheads in my opinion anyway. :?

I don't really remember them ever being 'omnipotent beings' to be honest

I don't hate the candidates, I just don't think Nepgear was a good protagonist. Uni, Rom, and to some extent-- Ram are great characters. Gear was just kinda..... ehhhh, meh. To me..

All that Celestia crap really does take a while to abort from your mind before playing Mk2.

Even so, I'm going off the first game for what I remember about them, and I only remember Noire being stressed out over everything she had to do. And the other Goddesses letting off hints that they weren't 'omnipotent beings'.

In Celestia they were omnipotent, it was on Gamindustri where their abilities became limited. Try getting the Goddesses one at a time in the first game, completing the game with one, then two, then all three. Watch how the ending changes.

You would also want to pay attention to how each time they drop hints that only in Celestia are they ever omnipotent.

There's also Blanc's line from early in the game, where she complains of how she becomes tired when staying transformed for a long time. Then going on to state that the CPUs don't have that problem in Celestia.

Neptune also said in Celestia she could eat and never gain weight, as well as never have an actual need to eat. So... it's more like a conditional omnipotence.

They also age outside Celestia. Really, the only thing in which they're different from humans outside Celestia is that they can transform, nothing else. In fact, I wonder if the reverse happens too and humans become more powerful in Celestia...

Also I think it's kind of a wasted opportunity - I mean, there was just a dungeon and that's it. Imagine if Celestia was in mk2 and had its own dungeons happening there (and multiple, not just one), that'd have been interesting =P (though probably conflicting with the graveyard idea...)

Guess that's a discussion for another topic.

They'd need a bigger budget but yes this is about Nepgear's breasts...I mean.... :? :? :? :? :?

Anyway yes...Ram's lack of popularity.

Well, she's doing much better now

Looks like the Ram supporters are being more brave now ~
