So you don't care about what her actual name is then? She's a character that's named after a game developer.
Gust was named after the game developer, "Gust"
5.pb was named after the game developer, "5.pb"
Nipponichi was named after the game developer, "Nippon Ichi"
Except NISA renamed her to "Nisa". So now she's named after a the localization company, NIS America, instead of the game developer, Nippon Ichi Software. You should always go by what the original names are. I guess it's fine if you like "Nisa" better but that's not her actual name. If she is in this anime, I guarantee you she'll be called Nipponichi. And you should always care about who the developers are because they're the ones who actually made the game.
The characters "actual" name is just about which version you play. If you play the American version then her actual name is Nisa. If you play the Japanese version her name is Nipponichi. Neither one is incorrect. NISA I believe stands for Nippon Ichi Software America right? So its just the American branch of Nippon Ichi, its the same fucking thing
What happens if you play the American version with the Japanese dubs on. Then you see "Nisa" on the screen but hear "Nipponichi" spoken. Then what the fucks her name?
You go by what the original developers fucking named her because they're the ones who made the goddamn game. Without them, NISA wouldn't even have the game to localize in the first place. Also, there's a difference between NISA and NIS. It's not the "same fucking thing" at all. NIS actually develops games while NISA just localizes them.
Finally, yes, technically her name is Nisa in the West. Your right. Both are "correct" and you can call her whatever you want. However, I go by what the actual developers named her because they're the ones who made the game in the first place. The Japanese version is the original version so I call her "Nipponichi". NISA decided that they needed to fuck with it and call her Nisa instead. So yes, she's Nisa in the West. I don't know why you'd want to go by what NISA says though. They alter names and terminology like motherfuckers.
Also, why the fuck would play Neptunia with English dubs on? I can understand a game like Persona 3 or 4 that actually have somewhat passable dubs but Neptunia is a different story.
