If you're speaking purely in the context Neptunia, you're right. If not, I'd say Death end re;Quest and Mary Skelter 2 at least are on par with VII. Those two get mentioned a lot when discussing Compile Heart's best games and I'm inclined to agree. Mary Skelter 2 was the game that got me into them, in fact.
