Thread 23586282

Usual Digimon thread, and Beatbreak is going to air for a full 4-cour, so here we go.

>>23586282 (OP)
>full 4-cour
Holy moly, I didn't know about that.

How would you personally feel if pic related ends up being Time Stranger's finalized DLC spots?

>>23586291
I've not kept up with Digimon as much as I'd have liked to over the years but wow, I didn't know Omegamon had gotten so many variants. It makes sense because of popularity and all but still.

>>23583830
Oh hey, Machmon.

>>23586291
Literally a whole DLC's worth of Digimon is just Omegamon variants. Alter-S and X is really all you'd need. I'd way rather free up some of those slots.

>>23586291
I hate the idea of just chucking X-Antibodies into DLC. They really deserve their own game. Selling Cres, Blitz, and Alters B and S as DLC is criminal. Zwart and Merciful are fine. Banchos should've been base game as well but I'm glad we're getting them. Parallelmon as the potential DLC endboss is great though.

Anime Manga Explosion Digimon.

>>23586291
What if they all are released at once? Also, the story of the Expansion Pack relates to Hiroko, the glasses girl who does extremely minor but ultimately meaningful in the story, which explains what she's meant to do in full.

>>23586291
>>23586317
Was hoping for the jellymon line ;w;

So people are predicting that the next Story game will focus on Shambhala/Kunlun and that Frontier mons will take center stage because of Susanoomon

>>23586762
Maybe? But I honestly wish they make it a Warriors game with help from Koei Tecmo. Because everything has to have a Warriors game if the franchise is big enough, right?

>>23586291
>all the banchos
Pretty good, but I would have preferred them in the base game.

>>23586762
I'm just hoping that they got their shit together so there isn't such a huge gap like there was between HM and TS. You shouldn't need more than 3-4 years to pump out one of these games.

>>23586291
I think it's pretty confirmed by now, there's been more datamining and one of the VAs put out a tweet listing off characters he voiced in the game which included two of the digimon in that pic

Anyway, I'm kind of just amused by it, I think they're all fine picks for paid DLC since they're all mons that only have a cult following, and I hardly care since all Digimon in Time Stranger are interchangeable blobs of stats anyway

>>23586291
I terms of Digimon choices DLC 1 is really stupid. They should have just omitted Zwart D and AlterB or at least D and added something else. And D is my favourite Omegamon after the original. I actually really like AlterS and Blitz and Cres though.
DLC2 This is great because banchos, but instead of Omegamon Mercy Mode I would have liked to see Ultimate Chaosmon since it's a BanchoLeomon evolution or Brigadramon (but maybe that was too new.) Mercy mode is actually a great Omegamon for Time Stranger because he has the Ishinomori cape and Dan is inspired by Cyborg 009. And saving it from Tri is good. But turning Omegamon into all white is kind of boring and might be my least favourite Omegamon.
>DLC 3 I fucking love X Antibodies and I cant wait to see their 3D models and especially Jesmons attack where he turns into all swords and explodes in swords. It's a shame there's only 5. Some non Royal Knights would have been nice like Diablomon as a villain.

Overall not bad if you dont mind Omegamons but they FORGOT THE BEST ONE.

>>23587201
It depends on Time Stranger's success I think. But chances are if there's a new Story game coming relatively soon it'll be an asset reuse. Hopefully it's like Persona 3 & 4 (as well as their remakes)

https://digimoncard.com/digimon_liberator/en/novel/debug21.php
Debug 21.

why do people even like musous

>>23587547
Sometimes you wanna turn off your brain and just hack and slash. It's good if you're exhausted from work or something and wants to wind off. And it gets a reputation for being 'easy to make' but not low tier.

>>23587490
Time Stranger itself is asset reuse, don't kid yourself. Real work on the game probably didn't start until after Survive judging from all the reused choregraphy and models that were at best retextured or upscaled
It's cool that they gave a bunch of new moves to old mons at least, very satisfying to finally be able to GLORIOUS BURST in a real game

>>23587615
Oh yeah they are asset reuse since the Digimons all share the same animations, but I was referring on how the hypothetical next Story game will look the same as Time Stranger's. TS actually had the benefit of next gen detailing to make it look somewhat different.

But regardless I just want a Frontier love.

>>23586762
I wonder if they're going to have the MC collect the Spirits and transform into the Frontier mons.

>>23587667
It'll probably be standard Story mechanics, and the major Frontier Digimon as characters would probably be the Ancient mons.

https://twitter.com/digimon_tv/status/1981243859972579710
Pristi gif.

>>23586291
Kinda bored, really. Some good picks with the Banchos, but otherwise dumping in more Omegas and X-Antibody Royal Knights is just more of what we usually get. Parallelmon is great though. Not only is he fitting, but it's always good to see another Digimon released from V-Tamer jail. Metamormon when?

>>23586762
There are so many new Shambala Digimon that should take precedence over the Spirits despite their connection. 10 spirits vs the actual Toho Braves of tantei ten whatever the fuck they're called. This means Ranamon could be important again though because she evolves to Shagaramon.

Unless you're saying itll be like an Aegiomon situation in TS. If so I think it'd only really be fire and light because 10 characters on top if 10 is a lot.

>>23587931
I meant more like how Royal Knights was in Cyber Sleuth, the Spirits (probably Ancient ones) could be like that, and have Flamon & Strabimon to be like Aegiomon

https://twitter.com/digimon_tv/status/1981284474819399767
The Tomoro moment.

>>23586762
I'm expecting the stereotypical chinese/japanese shared myths.
>4 holy beasts + devas + Huanglongmon (obligatory crazy form = ruin mode) because they love showcasing the Four Symbols in their media.
>Four Perils (Shikyoju) had 2/4 entries in the digimon reference book. Parallels to the 4 holy beasts.
>Journey to the West with SeitenGokuwmon vs Erlangmon reference.

I have a feeling they're just going to handwave the 10 spirits in the plot, and just reference susanomon alone.

https://twitter.com/digimon_games/status/1981405485065453780
Behind the scenes.

>>23588234
they already did the Holy Beasts in Survive and Gokuwmon seems to be a major thing for Beatbreak
If they're gonna focus on anything neglected next game I expect it'll most likely be either X-antibodies or Witchelny

Now Marsmon makes more sense as Kumamon's mega.

>>23590012
>Kumamon's
Do the localizer seriously reuse the name two times on two different digimon's?

>>23590066
English lolcalizers are famous for fucking up simple shit like translating names.

>>23590068
My man's literally just called Bearmon, why they decided it was a good idea to rename him to Kumamon I'll never know.

https://twitter.com/digimon_games/status/1981775226959540458
GreatGrizzlymon.

>>23590069
same reason they renamed Tailmon to "Gatomon"
They think that they need to preserve the sense of the original name using a foreign language word

>>23590144
In their defense, Tailmon is a shit name.

>>23590068
The Saban dub of 02 had an episode where the YukimiBotamon were called by their Japanese name in dialogue but the on-screen profile was changed to "SnowBotamon" in English. It got corrected in reruns iirc but was just one of their many gaffes.

I know we got a mon who's a Rider, but is there one who's an Ultra?

Tomoro's design phases.

https://nyaa.land/view/2035449
How was Beatbreak's fourth episode?

Gekkomon's early designs.
https://twitter.com/JP_Excelsior/status/1982298144156033294
"Director Miyamoto requested it to be a lizard and said that it doesn't need be cute, and could be creepy.
Kenji Watanabe said that the new Digimon should use its tongue to moves and it was designed to be incomplete and flawed, like Tomoro."

>>23591323
>Armadillo and pangolin heavy designs
Cute, makes sence it's main attack is a rolling tackle if that was part's of it's original design.

so when are we gonna see gekkomon's champion? and the bat's.

>>23591546
Gekko probably in 3-4 episodes.
Bat probably not for a while, he's a recon flier with an cc attack, he's filling out his niche well till they start running into ults/megas.

>>23591323
>We could have had a pangolin MC
I feel robbed. Hope that gets reused down the line. Also lol at the concept that's basically just Inteleon

>>23591546
Gekkomon, hopefully at least by ep 10.
Chiropmon and Makoto are filling out the support role, so no doubt they're going to drag out their evolutions for some time. They may not be as plot relevant as Takeru and Patamon, but I could definitely see them in a similar pattern to them.

>>23591272
It was very meh.

Machmon's voice actor.

>>23591628
So was there a digimon show he didn't have him? I can only think of adventure 1999
And savers

>>23586291
>No Monmon
>No Liberator digis
>No V-bracelet digis
Shit DLC. Shit game. Pokemon wins again.

>>23591682
I'm not feeling this revival era at all. Time Stranger is lackluster and Beatbreak characters aren't my cup of tea, can't find any of them enjoyable at this moment.

>>23591852
Fake fan

>>23591272
Pretty solid team building ep, except for the impetus for it being a moment so stupid I thought it was a gag at first. Still, nice to see Reina fleshed out a little more. Solid action too.
Got a laugh out of Machmon's Owner taking the time to reenact the Shin Kamen Rider bike stand during the climax.

>>23591633
Don't remember anything except BlackWarGreymon when /digi/ from /vg/ told me about it. Anything else?

>>23591852
Beatbreak might have been the reason why the third wave of Pendulum Color v-pets took so long to make. All this connects to both Beatbreak and Alysion, the latter coming early next year. The gates of Shambala are about to open wide soon, and we could witness the birth of new members in its lore.

>>23592260
>>23591633
I don't remember Hiyama appearing in Tamers. I know Hiyama was Frontier Seraphimon, Xros Wars SlashAngemon, and Ghost Game Shadramon at least.

>>23592265
Yeah, looks like Tamers, Savers and Appmon were the only series where he didn't have at least one cameo.

>>23591852
The fact the new Shambala stuff is all happening at once and is obviously there for the Chinese market since half of them or more are Chinese makes me way too cynical. I know its half Japanese but still.

I did enjoy Time Stranger and Beat Break though.

>>23592579
And not the two and half European server's?

>>23592579
Though I always felt like Digimon nowadays ponders a lot to lesbians. Too much on that kind of fanservice ever since Survive?

Besides the point, anyone collecting older Digimon toys? Honestly, someone out there should have both a Japanese and American Shoutmon figure and give the Japan-only Shoutmon Mic to the American figure for a more complete look... until I saw how thick the handle was on the Star Sword from the American release and admit it won't work.

>>23591867
I'm a real fan. I just don't feel satisfied of the current state of the series.
New games should have new content and not be behind by like a decade.

If you still support Digimon in 2025, that's your fault.

>>23592661
Not if the game was in development hell for almost a decade
That and not like the franchise ever promised every mon to be in games unlike certain series

>>23590586
I think I get the idea, but explain further please.

>>23592666
The head
solar energy
Light dragon

>>23592662
Better to support Digimon than be a Pokedrone.

>>23586291
Blitz, Cres and Omega Alter should have been in the game by default but what can you do.

What does /m/ think of the Time Stranger game?

>>23592579
I agree completely. The blatant pandering is one thing, but the way it comes through the designs of those Digimon makes it even worse. They're too straight-forward and never play around with the designs influences the same way they do with other mythologies. Going all the way back to mobage exclusives like Jazamon and Vorvomon, just being basic elemental dragons. Compared to something like Zanbamon, a samurai based on the Irish nuckelavee, the difference is huge.

>>23592795
Utter disappointment as someone who has played the other Story games. Everything's just so dumbed down, like even compared to the DS games. Time Stranger is like those, but without the lane system that salvaged all the other bullshit in those games.
Just goes to show that people do not care about gameplay and will rate anything that has a big budget and a focus on story highly

>>23593351
>Just goes to show that people do not care about gameplay and will rate anything that has a big budget and a focus on story highly

this reads like an ACfag shitpost I would see on /v/

also
>Digimon
>big budget

>>23592795
I think it's good particularly if you're new to or less engaged with the franchise so it's easy to recommend but the gameplay does feels unsatisfying compared to some of the older games. Really should add more non-CS/HM mons and Armors/Ranamon being deadend is pretty annoying because they're obsolete by the time you unlock them which means they're just collectables. Probably should just remove the affinity triangle too if there's going to be a massive Vaccine bias. Also didn't like the Digifarm because it's so clunky to access and use.
Otherwise the story/characters are decent, they freed the Olympos XII from mobage hell and the music is great.

>>23593414
sounds like it's a wait until some QoL stuff comes out

https://digimon.net/special/vote135/
The results.

>>23593427
well the game has all the QoL you could realistically ask for, the problem isn't with that (aside from the farm having just an absolutely atrocious UI that makes you constantly exit and reenter it to check evo requirements), it's more with the core design of the game itself being so utterly bland and barebones

> Probably should just remove the affinity triangle too if there's going to be a massive Vaccine bias
While generally I think we'd be better off without the RPS nonsense, to its credit TS did introduce some cool stuff for playing around it. Being able to use character reverse on teammates was cool, and so was the idea of having signature moves that nullified type disadvantage

>>23593499
>(aside from the farm having just an absolutely atrocious UI that makes you constantly exit and reenter it to check evo requirements)

that's the big QoL I am hoping gets added, evolving directly from the farm

>>23592795
It is the best Digimon game to date, damning with faint praise though that may be.

>>23593622
Hacker's Memory was pretty solid even if it's story was going to be a mess due to it running parallel witth CS

>>23591272
caught up now, I liked it, and it's cool that the show seems to be doing the "mostly episodic but still smoothly transitions from the previous episode" thing. I'm really liking how the action is directed, the show isn't really doing evolution sequences at all and yet still manages to be really hype just from the way the scenes are storyboarded. It's making me real excited for what this show will look like after everyone hits their final forms

>>23592206
I get that 1) They had to do the "team sucks at team work and then gets better" moment 2)Kids show (somewhat) but MAN was this part rough to watch.

Bullets are literally flying and this kid is just standing around going like he's waiting for a bus. I'd have legit preferred if he freaked out and tried to hide or something instead.

>>23593826
It's realistic

Is wolvemon supposed to be trap?

Stupid opinion: If you were Homeostasis and would want to kick out the constant traitors among the Royal Knights, who will be your replacements and why?

>>23593978
>Homeostasis
She only have connection jesmon
The royal knights follow yggeddrasll

>>23593984
But Yggdrasil tends to get corrupted most of the time, more often than not with Duftmon as a major instigator. The traitors in question are typically Crusadermon and Duftmon, but Dynasmon is often among the traitors due to being tricked into becoming one or following evil beings. Common examples on who should be among the replacements are other protagonist Mega Digimon who don't have connections to other servers besides the main one (ShineGreymon is one who can stand on his own, and Susanoomon created the Shambala server), the primary examples being Shoutmon DX and Siriusmon.

>>23593990
I think you're confusing this thread with /digi/

>>23593859
no. she's a tomboy.

>>23593984
the Royal Knights follow the Host Computer.
In the Xros Wars manga it was Homeostasis, after Yggdrasil was offlined by Masaru

>>23593978
Rapidmon Armor, MirageGaogamon and BloomLordmon. The latter two just for looking the part, but Rapidmon especially just for being the Holy Knight type not in the group. Give my boy the respect he deserves.

Thanks! I hate it.

>>23595564
>Axe Knightmon
Get your shitty ass dub name out of here

I eagerly await for when we get to see what Shoutmon X10 actually looks like

>>23595564
To be extremely fair, DarkKnightmon is supposed to be one of the antagonists and remained as such, even in the manga. Mervamon being part of X10 made enough sense.

>>23595526
Someone thought hard that this thing should be Shakkoumon's final evolution to avoid overlap from Jou's Vikemon. Anyone accept this change?

Episode 4.

>>23595564
Little uncalled for, but I agree it's disappointing we never got an update on DarkKnightmon's whereabouts.

>>23595594
Same. Fanart's nice, but it only goes so far. Sucks it's going to be mythologized like the Adventure cast Armor Evolutions.

>>23595672
>Anyone accept this change?
I'm not sold on the design yet. A "proper" evolution for Shakkoumon would need some bulk, like Dominimon or ClavisAngemon (not that I can see them as such). But as far as being closest in terms of matching attributes, it's decent enough.

>>23595672
>Metatromon
I can accept it since this seems to be what Shakoukomon should had been, but I still prefer SlashAngemon.

>>23595672
It's suppose to be for Maquinamon's mechanical line and intentionally lack holy attribute which I think Shakkoumon has. Can still work but I can see them making something more fitting when expanding Shambala lore.
