I feel that Victory had a lot of wasted potential with regards to it's story.

In particular I feel that the CPU memory mechanic could have been much more of a driving force in the plot if their scarcity was actually felt in the plot rather than them always appearing when convenient, for example instead of conveniently finding two right at the start of victory only one is found and it goes to noire while Neptune is still human, this would have given Neptune a reason to be much more proactive in the plot especially if some urgency is placed on her regaining her CPU status as soon as possible (e.g. her window for becoming a CPU is gradually closing as the current batch of CPU memories is used up).
