can you elaborate, anon?
I haven't kept up with news on the game, what are they changing?

>>713077761 (OP)
>Improved combat and evolve mechanic
What did they change?

>>713078110
>>713078274
What we know so far:
>you know have attachment skills
>there are combo moves and fusion moves
>finishers that are influenced by bond with your mons
>fighting boss now has phases
>you can target boss directly or now aim at parts to weaken them or stop their attacks
>weakness mechanic like persona possibly
That's all I know

$120 for a single-player RPG is a LOT to ask for, when I got CS Complete for less than half of that.
I'll wait for a sale and the eventual definitive version.

>>713078451
It's just $60 as usual, not counting collector's edition

>>713078547
$70, for the incomplete version.

>>713078629
It's $89 (AUD)

If this game fails to make digimon popular they should probably stop trying

>>713078678
It's a ripoff, is what it is.

>>713077761 (OP)
>>>Improved combat and evolve mechanic
>no press turn
it's guaranteed to be braindead and easy as fuck

>>713079081
implying press turn isnt exactly that

>>713079081
People that play JRPGs for the difficulty are crazy
Even the hardest one you can think of doesnt offer much, there are other genres for that. JRPGs are for numbers going up steadily and easily because any difficulty you put in the game will just be annoying instead of fun, like enemies that insta KO you, permadeath, teleport mazes etc, its not fun.
And IU like difficult games, just not in RPGs where it just gets annoying because the progression is the game and not the execution like in other genres.

>>713079081
Posted by a man who has never played a Digimon jrpg.

>>713079081
Go back to your soulslop for muh challenge. Not all games need to be frame by frame difficult to be fun, only masofags like that.

>>713079370
Also you can always just do a numemon challenge where you beat the entire game with only one numemon or something, but you wont, because its not that much fun

>>713078395
sounds like solid improvements overall, weaknesses worked much better on the ds story games so I assume it's closer to that which is good

looks like tranny slop
Why can't they make Digimon for twelve year old boys again instead of otaku and fujos

>>713080154
because when they tried it flopped

>>713079081
>>no press turn
>it's guaranteed to be braindead and easy as fuck
????
press turn is the most player biased mechanic in RPGs ever

>>713080154
They kept trying both to appeal to kids and to adventure boomers
Only the adventure boomers show up anymore, and its smarter to have digimon try to cover an older demo than pokemon anyways

>>713080154
>otaku and fujos
These things have money and 12 year olds don't

>>713080154
Kids anime are almost completely dead now, kids dont want toys anymore they want a better phone to look at porn

Do you guys use the canon names (like Ami/Takumi Aoba in CS, Keisuke in HM) for your tamers or original/personal names?
I struggle to decide to because the tamers often seem to have defined personalities, rather than being totally mute protags like Pokemon trainers.

>>713077761 (OP)
I wouldn't exactly say I'm hyped, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.

Also no MonMon. no Buy.

So what Digimon games are you guys playing or replaying while you wait? For me, it's the Lost Evolution fan translation.

>>713080836
I name my characters a random light insult like idiot or loser in lowercase so that sometimes it reads like they're insulting my character.

>>713080836
I used to put my name as a kid, then retard as a teen, then their official name as a young adult
I always just use "Anon" now in all games.

>>713078825
ok retard

>>713081609
I'm replaying Dawn for my boy Apollomon

>>713079081
>
retard

>>713078089
Only one criticism I have is that one part of the "cutscene" where Zudomon was whacking his anvil. The audio seems to be a bit out of sync. Also, have they mentioned anything about the card game. It is confirmed to be in, I just want to know how engaging it is. From the looks of it from the trailer, it looks pretty basic.

>>713079081
>NOOOOO WHY CAN'T I HAVE MORE TURNS FOR PICKING ELEMENTAL WEAKNESS!! NOOOOO WHY WON'T ENEMY ATTACKS CANCELS IF I MY CHARACTER DODGES!!

>>713082659
yes

>>713077761 (OP)
>Rideable mons
uh oh, nintendo dont look

>>713077761 (OP)
I CAN'T. EVEN. FUCKING. DESCRIBE IT!

>>713077761 (OP)
Tranny hating anon here. I posted a while ago that many projects I've helped translate were in the works on switch 2. I don't know they're waiting for but now other sites are finally talking about it

>>713084065
what

>>713084065
meds

>>713084876
Sure, just wait friend. It think they're waiting for some event or anything really

>>713077761 (OP)
I NEED IT!

>>713084015
BRO I WAS ACTUALLY SHAKING. I haven’t felt this kind of hype since Cyber Sleuth got its first trailer drop. Everything just *clicked*—the music, the animations, the interface... I don’t even care if it’s broken on release, I’m IN.

>New fucking Digimon is a Skull Seadramon
AAAAAAAAA FUCK MY DICK, I NEED MORE SKULLMONS FOR EVERY BIOME.

>>713087126
What trailer was this thing in?

>>713087618
Posted on X today.

Genuinely hope we get confirmation of it coming to Switch 2 as well.

>>713087947
Honestly shocked we haven't yet.

>>713078395
You missed out on being able to just digivolve from anywhere in the pause menu as well as swap digimon in and out of boxes, no more going to the lab to do it.

>>713077761 (OP)
I still see none of my niggas in so not at all.

>>713087849
Looks cool.

>>713088483
That's just a Reploid from Megaman X!

>>713088539
That's just fem Overman King Gainer!

I fucking love Digimon.

>>713079081
Did you play Cyber Sleuth and Hacker's Memory?
This actually looks harder than those.

>>713077761 (OP)
The other 200 overhyped digimon games from the last 20 years? Nah!
But this one! This is it.

>>713077761 (OP)
I would be, if not for the price tag and the edition jewery.
I'll either wait for a major discount or just pirate it.

>>713087947
They'll definitely release a game key card version of it on Switch 2 xister!

>After all these decades we're FINALLY getting a skull version of Seadramon
>Meanwhile Pokemon is giving us ugly and stupid evolutions we never wanted like this.....thing for Primeape.

>>713088808
Yeah I'm simply not paying 70 dolla
I'll just wait for a sale next year or two

>>713077761 (OP)
I'm just praying they don't make resistances absolutely retarded so the only Digimon worth using are those with Pierce attacks

>>713089145
>Digimon
>one of the OG animes
just because you watched a bad dub on Saturday morning in the 90s doesn't make it an OG

>>713077761 (OP)
why is it not 30 fps on console it would run on a toaster.
so annoying lol

A side note but do we have any more info on the digital Digimon TCG outside of the bandai announcement a few months ago?

>>713089145
>now

>>713089145
Digimon was for 6 year olds

>>713077761 (OP)
A bit - I'm more of a world fan than anything. The older Story games in particular were very disappointing in regards to being overly focused on a bland story and characters, and the combat was basic and overly simplistic. The one thing I'm very happy to see them improving upon is those games had the worst take on Digimon and the digital world I've ever seen. Just "viruses" or some gay shit and the entire game was spent wandering around bland blue cubes. This one seems like it's vastly improved in that regard.

>>713089000
No way this furry version of akuma is actually canon

>>713089712
It is
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Annihilape_(Pokémon)

Yawn. When is the next world game coming out?

>>713088813
seethe pablo

Day 1 buy for me.

>>713089779
>We have to be careful with how we say this, but we feel that the audience for the Digimon World games, for instance, can be a little bit more limited than something that is more mainstream targeted. I think that mainstream appeal is one of the Digimon Story series’ strengths relative to other Digimon titles.

>>713077761 (OP)
Day One if there's a Switch 2 release!

>>713091725
I hope the backlash to key cards is severe enough to actually make them put the entire game on cart. Might be a blessing in disguise for it to not be day 1 on Switch 2.

>>713091805
I like to think Bandai wants to take every opportunity they can to make this game success. If that means giving us the full game in the cart, that'd be great. We'll get a hint of it with Elden Ring Tarnished Edition.

>>713079370
Absolute faggot post.

What genre of game even is this? Turn based again?

>>713091805
>backlash is severe enough
lol
I bet you think the bitching in Nintendo's streams leading up to the release of MK World worked too

>>713087126
Holy based
Wonder if this is a perfect or ultimate level.

sharkmon too

>>713086065
i know what you mean! though it sounds like your excitement peaked a little higher than mine, i'm jealous. lol
i'm super fucking amped. i cannot wait to play and i'm overjoyed at the potential precedent this could set for future Digimon games. our ship might finally be coming into port, Digibros.

>>713087849
this would've freaked me the fuck out as a kid. it still makes me a little uneasy now as an adult. very cool, very spooky. lol

>>713077761 (OP)
no romance no buy

>>713092364
I believe he's referencing this article
https://www.thegamebusiness.com/p/it-was-the-biggest-console-launch
tl;dr "Most third-party Switch 2 games posted very low numbers. One third-party publisher characterised the numbers as ‘below our lowest estimates’, despite strong hardware sales."
"Cyberpunk 2077 was the best-selling 3rd party game (has the game actually on cart), beating launch sales of Witcher 3 on Switch 1"

>>713077761 (OP)
This game looks so fucking good

Kinda wish in the RPG games they let you jogress/dna-digi mid-battle. Granted probably would suck to be down a man even with buffed up stats but it feels cooler that way instead of knowing I'm raising two of my buddies only for them to merge later

>>713087126
Holy Shit we're getting new mons already in this game

WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK DIGIBROS!

>>713093598
sauce???

Sharkmon bros!

>>713093962
keyliom

>>713093339
Which means those devs are right to use key cards. Imagine shelling out for a proper cartridge and then not selling.

>>713080154
Otakus love lolis so this isn't for anyone. This is made with hags for modern audience.
>>713093598
No we aren't it's not like DW1 or DW3. Cyber Shitus tourists should fuck off and play gaytlus games.

>>713096131
Don't care I'm winning

>>713095807
Cyber shart 2077 sold and first party actual cartridge well which counters your point. No one wants game key shart

>>713096131
>World games

lol
kek, even

>>713096304
More fun than cyber shitus with fetch quests and shit dungeons and grind shit.

I hope I can hop inside mekanorimon and drive him around

Fucking moron

>>713077761 (OP)
Can you romance the human girls? If they want to be Persona just do it.

>>713077761 (OP)
God I can't wait for this game....

>>713096407
And you say that mentioning Digimon World 3 in a positive light? Fucking lmao retard

>>713096615
>can you romance the Digimon
Fixed that for you

>>713096564
You have made an old man very happy

>>713077761 (OP)
will it have skippable cutscenes and dialog?

>>713089308
There was a news dump recently for the card game where they said Alysion announcements at Anime Expo in LA.

Haven't been keeping up is my boy the twentiest and his fusion partner here?

>>713077761 (OP)
You just know

>>713080672
but you make franchises that kids want to look at porn of
why do you think overwatch and fortnite survive

>>713097138
Probably, Zubamon was in Cyber Sleuth and there's no real reason to think all the mons there won't be back, other then shit like the NX digimon and maybe hudiemon

>>713087849

Cool to have new variants of old classics. Please all fans.

>>713080154
Anon, those Otaku and Fujos are what they are because they played/watched Digimon as 12 year olds

>>713096546
Not that anon, but I fully agree. It's too early for us to know. In the west cyberpunk is the normie friendly game they used to show off big graphics. It didn't move well at all in the asias. I don't know what they expected with these "low" third party sales. Nintendo fans first and foremost buy first party games. It's not like with the other platforms where the majority of gamers buy call of duty or the sports games. We'll see for sure if the consumer is boycotting these key cards in like 2-3 months time

Do we have a list of digimon in the game yet?

>>713097981
Someone on the Digimon general had a good list but I can't find it

>>713097981
The list so far.

>>713093419
DW3 got around this by making the jogresses final fantasy summons but it's better to have then be full mons

I WILL BUY YOUR GAME IF MY NIKKA IS IN

I'm playing Cyber Sleuth now and I want whoever throught the medals shit was a good idea needs to be hit by a bus. Also the shitty green cases that you for some reason CAN'T fucking get rid of withotu completing them that fill up your board so you can't get any more to aim for the fucking two that are required to get the medals that can only be obtained from those requests. Man being a completionist and trying to play this game is actual cock and ball torture. Fuck these devs.

>>713080836
I use canon names unless I'm going out of my way to call my character swears for the sake of getting funny screenshots.
Even that I mainly do in games where I don't care about the plot or are short, because I'm not replaying a whole RPG just for this, amusing or not.

>>713098704
I bet all of the 02 dig mental mons will be in.

flight attendant chan rides beelzemon dick

>>713089000
I like Annihilape, though. Should've posted the actual abominations like pic rel

>>713098740
I do hope they come up with some decent side content for this one because yeah Cyber Slueth has got some fucking blitzball tier awful side content.

>>713098395
Looking good so far

I can't wait to play this on a (Game Key Card) on my Switch 2.

>>713099606
Anon please stop shitting up this thread. Most troons are on pc and the stragglers left over on playstation from when sony was calling them there. The ones that are on switch are there to try to groom kids.

gib X pls

I want to know if BlitzGreymon and CresGarurumon? If they're gonna have a Omegaman variant at least have that one

>>713077761 (OP)
Is this the donkey Kong dick with the delicious banana cum?

>>713102047
pretty sure it's free look now

>$70
wtf LMAO
70 for DINGIMON?
the first game is worth $30 at MAXIMUM
gonna be while before I get this. and that's IF the user reviews are good.

>>713088386
thats friggin sweet, going from lab to dungeon and back was annoying

Cybersleuth is infamous for this

>>713102668
Why do you sick freaks ruin every thread? Fuck off and hang already.

>>713102295
I will pay this price.
I will pay the extra bucks for the niggermons.
Bamco will see my unwavering support and make more digimon games.

>>713078395
Looks really cool, I've always liked digimon games, just hope the story isn't as stupid as CS.
>Try to build my mons as strong as possible

looks better than ZA so I'll probably give it a try

>>713101148
Kyubimon probably is

>>713077761 (OP)
I thought this game was just a VN? A pleasant surprise to see it has a real game attached, might pick it up.

>>713103728
>I thought this game was just a VN?
literally what gave you that impression

>>713103728
The only digimon game that was a vn with gameplay attached was survivor no?

>>713103127
>Bamco will see my unwavering support and make more digimon games.
You buy more than just the games right?

>>713087849
So, when are we getting an Omnimon variant of GigaSeadramon+Slayerdramon?

>>713103620
>Kyubimon
imagine the size of her butthole

>>713102047
Its all free camera now

I'm starting to see why Bandai doesn't give a fuck about putting the game on the Switch 2, wtf kek

>>713104434
>anal vores you

>>713104697
Apparently tendies don't actually play video games, just consume Nintendo product

>>713104697
Good on them, was always getting this game on PC, Nintenbro wasn't even on my mind

>>713105001
imagine the smell

>>713105673

>>713104105
Survive existing probably

>>713103127
>I will pay the extra bucks for the niggermons
They're free. Just need to pre-order.

>>713102284
>>713104484
Thank god, the dungeons and the shitty property side quests were a nightmare cause you couldn't actually look around.

Even in a digimon thread. There are more people talking about nintendo than the topic it self. This sucks. Console war faggotry is pathetic. Who cares where you buy it? It's the game that matters. If we're being fair here any purchase that isn't a pc one is stupid as you don't get any multi langauge support. You don't get the original nip script or anything.

>>713077761 (OP)
pretty hyped but bamco's also been pretty shit of late.

>>713104105
Probably saw scenes like this in Cyber Sleuth

>>713104404
Why Slayerdramon? Wait, you think Wingdramon is meant to be a "canon" airdramon evo? Sorry but Wingdramon belongs to the dracomon family. Airdramon is more associated with Megadramon and thus Mugendramon, so a jogress between Gigaseadramon and Chaosdramon is likelier.

>>713098395

Is Lilithmon in? I need her humungous fat tits again

Will this be yuri like cyber sluts?
It was super hilarious how gay it ended up being because they didn't rewrite anything but how people addressed the MC.

>>713111630
The 7 demon lords are always in, so yes.

>>713111891
I can only hope
The gay aura the feMC emanates was kino

>>713111891
Probably not. This time around the main female NPC is thoroughly taken by her shotamon partner and the game's plot clearly revolves around their relationship.

>>713112163
Acceptable
Ara~ara'ing the shota monsters is fine, too

>>713112163
I'm fine with the 2 playable characters being shipped with each other cause the FemC is by far the hottest character. The blonde who's involved with the shota has the worst design in the game anyway.

>>713078089
Holy Shit what a glow up from Cyber Sleuth, I'm 100% getting this game

>>713087849
Hell yeah!

yeah but what about my favorite line? it was in HM.

>>713082251
card game stuff was confirmed but not how it works, if its based off any of the real cards games, or what

>>713089000
how is it stupid

>>713079081
>press turn
so you have never played an actually challenging rpg that doesn't just reward grinding?

>>713097260
I literally came into this thread only see if anyone posted this.

>>713080836
If they provide a name I will use that, but otherwise I will use a name, my own, or a username I use.
many games end up having canon names for the protagonist but don't actually have that as the default name in the game and its a later thing when media needs to refer to them or something that its "revealed".

>>713102295
idk why you are comparing the price to a 26 year old game anon

you tricked me it's $99, and that's at JB which takes $10 off the MSRP

>>713097818
>>713104697
People not wanting to buy Game Key cards is probably part of it but also all the third party games are ancient shit people have already played. I played Bravely Default over 10 years ago for example, why the fuck would I buy some ugly ass remaster now. It's also dumb shit like Rune Factory having a Switch 2 tax where it's $70 on Switch 2 despite being $60 everywhere else, even on PC. We won't get an actual idea about game sales until it starts getting new games.

>>713118162
>actually challenging rpg that doesn't just reward grinding?
name 5

>>713118857
I was looking at the digital price, my bad.

I'll be more hype when I get my new PC.
30 fps on consoles, no way fag, I need my 60.

>>713118948
understandable I kinda figured that was the case

>>713077761 (OP)
Not hyped at all. Saw omnimon in the trailer so I trashed any notion of playing it.

>>713118891
another factor is that all these price hikes are going to lead to less sales overall
consumers have more or less fixed disposable income(at present it's actually declining) and with higher priced games that means it's being concentrated in fewer purchases
most will gravitate toward "safe" ones starting with first party and then the biggest names
I don't buy for a second that the average consumer even knows what a game key is

>>713109268
>any purchase that isn't a pc one is stupid as you don't get any multi langauge support. You don't get the original nip script or anything.
wait seriously
at least tell me JP voices are included in the english console version

>>713078089
instant preorder

>>713077761 (OP)
Mostly I want to know if piercing is still retarded and mandatory, and if you can use something other than the same 15 megas after the mid-game.
CS/HM has a pretty big roster and they were almost all dogshit useless.

>>713118853
>Clockmon but a bird
Weak

>>713117902
I'd assume basically every Digimon from CS/HM would still be in aside from the NX mons and maybe Hudiemon

not a big digimon fan overall but this looks pretty amazing. gave cybersleuth a try but eventually fizzled out, but this looks a lot better

>>713126948
Does this one still have a farm and if it does do you still need to go back to access it? The constant backtracking was by far the biggest thing I despised about Cyber Sleuth. It was so much tedious busy work to do anything.

>>713128797
yes, it has a farm but we still don't know how it'll work

>>713121423
sephirothmon

>>713129363
That's the Jewish tree of life.

I never really liked the farm. Getting exactly the stats you want is too much of a hassle. It's overly meticulous. Waiting around is annoying too.

>>713129678
The farm in Cyber Sleuth doesn't really have a purpose at all beyond being mass experience share, they could have just given item drops that increase or decrease specific stats. It used to actually be integral to the game in the DS titles where it was basically the only way you'll progress without grinding, but that doesn't matter at all when stats are set in stone.

>>713129678
Yeah it feels like mobile game shit. Hopefully with this one not needing to be made with the Vita in mind it won't feel as much like a mobile game. I don't really have an issue with having a passive background element to the game but it requiring nothing but waiting and for getting autistically specific stats needed for minmaxing.

>>713080836
I always go for canon names and if they don't have one I try to come up with a name that fits the setting and if characters have theme to their name I try to adhere to that as well.

>>713130032
Digimon games tend to involve a strong degree of autism due to the "raising" aspect, but I'm not sure if there's a way to really flesh out this element of the series without it devolving into autistic minmaxing. Even the World games often devolve into finding specific Digimon and grinding on them over and over to get the EXP you need. It's a staple of most JRPGs, of course, but it's especially bad in Digimon because they're always trying to drive home that you're "raising" these Digimon.

Even if you did make the busywork more fun, it's bound to get annoying eventually due to having to do it over and over and over for multiple Digimon.

>>713130257
I don't remember doing that in DW1 you kill one digimon over and over again because you want a tech.

I can't wait for this game

>>713130257
My issue isn't with autistic minmaxing it's more in how unengaging and dull the actual process of minmaxing is in Cyber Sleuth. Yeah you needed to put a digimon in the farm to raise their stats but it's not like you were actually doing anyhing. Setting up the items to boost specific stat gains and setting the right leader was basically it. Once you were done with that the farm was a finished gameplay system with absolutely nothing to build on.

>>713081609
I'm going to replay CSCE at some point before October and hopefully play CSHM after it this time.
I did my yearly/biyearly replay of DW2003 a few months ago and had a blast, but I do want to play more Digimon vidja.

They had better make an Olympus Mons joke

>>713130490
The latest World game is like that. Stat gain in battles is higher and faster in battles than gyms. DMW1 is still gym centric. I don't remember how Decode was.

>>713081609
I'm trying to find my EN fan sub modded .iso file for Decode. But I fear I might've deleted it when I upgraded my pc to win 11. Had some issue with upgrading it, had to format one drive, I think it was that drive that had the file. Was thinking about playing that after I'm done with HM. I'm on chapter 15.

>>713130257
The Digimon World games are entirely different because the raising and the grinding is 90% of the game, in the Story titles the farm takes a backseat and acts as a passive progression system that mitigates grinding. Lost Evolution already kind of solved the "finished system" thing by letting you feed certain Digimon types into the main one to increase stats and whatnot, so the farm always serves a purpose and allows you to quickly boost new Digimon up to your current standards. Cyber Sleuth went the other direction and removed most of the minimax type of stuff so the game is less off-putting to people who are normal, but unfortunately that just left you with no depth and the same level of micromanaging.

>>713102295
>the first game is worth $30 at MAXIMUM
You're not actually talking about Digital Monster Ver. S: Digimon Tamers aka the first Digimon videogame or Digimon Story for the NDS (the first Digimon Story game, known as Digimon World DS in the west because of mental retardation), are you?

Anyway, wait for a sale or just pirate it.

>>713132131
They wanted it to be the "protagonist" of the Royal Knights, but I'm not really feeling it. Plus its forms just get progressively uglier. I like JESmon, but I don't like JESmon X and I think GX looks horrendous. It's always incredibly sad when the strongest form is also the ugliest.

>>713133750
Because that's actually how a lot of them happen.
Up to Champion(adult), the forms generally just get bigger/grow up, but a Champion Digimon is usually "complete".
Further evolution requires adding shit to that completed template, like magic, cybernetics, or finding new alternative power sources.
Conceptually, this is also how Digimon work as organisms. Digimon input and consume data, above all else, and this is why exposure to humans is such a force multiplier, it's exposure to entirely alien concepts and ideas.

>>713078274
Details so far iirc

Outside:
-Game has easy/normal/hard mode, and another NG+ only harder mode
-Can access digibox from menu at any time
-Can digivolve, convert from menus
-Some Digivolution have story/quest locked, apparently personality can lock some digivolution options
-TMs for the generic moves, each Digimon still learn some generic moves like CS
-You can attack overworld mobs and there's the instant kill weak encounters QOL (you still get all the rewards)

In Battle:
-Full party for a fight is 6 digimon, 3 for frontline, 3 for reserve (and then up to 3 guest digimon, Aegiomon seems to be a permanent guest)
-New stat Spirit (SPI), could be magic defense
-In battle speed up 2x,3x,5x, also a give up button
-3 more attributes (the egg one is Free type) 11 elements (the attribute/element weakness seem unique to each digimon like SMT)
-QOL for damage multipliers when you know it (fire attack will say 300% damage)
-Items, swapping digimon, analyzing don't use your turn
-Some attacks have new traits and do more damage to certain species
-XROS combo seems to be gone but it's replaced by player skills
-Digimon have voices now (both ENG/JP), they say their signature attack and have voice lines before attacking/getting hit
-Digimon have personality types (personality gives some stats and a unique skill, will affect some other stuff apparently)
-Boss fight gimmicks, Bosses charge up super attacks/big heals, stage gimmicks (Parrotmon has random target lightning strikes happen in the fight (damages you but heals him), and you can use metal/mechanical digimon to attract the lightning hits)
-Boss has a CP bar that makes them stronger over time (increases/decreases depending on what you do in the fight)
-Boss fight length will really depend on you using element/attribute weaknesses
-Random QTE mechanic after you attack/use skills, apparently gives you another attack (no demonstration of this yet)

>>713135743
Talking Pokemon that you can romance and fuck and who will actively try to seduce others if they're not taken.
Also lots of edge, world ending catastrophes, insane logic, and more.
This game is a turn based 3 v 3 battle format where you "scan" digimon every battle to slowly get enough information to make your own, CHOOSE what you want to evolve into from several lines at a time by reaching certain requirements, and go back and forth to increase stat caps and to gain abilities from certain digimon lines.
In both previous games, you could get to ANY digimon line from ANY digimon line by devolving and evolving. If you find a move you like that isn't a Digimon's "signature" move(the big animated one is that), it's learnable. You can take I think 7 extra attacks besides your digimon's signature that use an MP system instead of Pokemon's PP system. You also get free attack and defend commands that does a basic attack and obviously blocks damage respectively.
Through this you can effectively customize any digimon to have any moveset you desire. It's up to you to find the best digimon for the job by studying their types and stats.
Let me know if you have any questions.

>>713135743
Assuming this game is fundamentally more or less like Cyber Sleuth (which it seems like, plus some bits)
There's more of a focus on your dudes going on long evolution walks over the course of the game, then grabbing a handful of specific guys you're gonna use. This also means your guys are going to spend almost the entire game before they're "done", with Digimon regularly taking trips down paths you maybe didn't plan for. Almost always, someone needs a bit more exp for X, or you need to get Y stats trained, as opposed to Pokemon where your guys are more or less on a single lane path of progression, with maybe the odd split evolution to break up the monotony. Think, there's nothing really stopping your bidoof from becoming an Alakazam, if that's what you feel like your team needs. Or your Alakazam might be looking to turn into a Krookodile, so you need to plan for someone else to occupy your special attacker role when that happens. Or you need X element/attribute, and have 4 guys who could all fill that role, so look at the forms available to do it and build a team from there. You never STOP building a team, essentially, unlike with pokemon where you usually have your team determined the moment you catch something with intent to actually use it. It's more like SMT in that way, than Pokemon.
Somewhat more traditional jrpg combat than the kinda homebrewed mix Pokémon has found, as well.
More standard plots with characters in them.
Uh. In pokemon terms.
The entire game is like the Area Zero part of Scarlet and Violet. Kinda.

There tends to be a lot more weirdo shit that goes on, because Digimon are completely sapient creatures with goals independent from people, that are usually operating on completely alien, and thus batshit logic, and a lot of negotiations end at "well, this seems a harmless enough way to leave things

worldwunshitters need to fuck off and stop posting forever. Tamers captures the spirit of digimon the best and therefore any game that is going to capture the spirit needs to be the most tamers like. THUS. time stranger looks like... maybe it will be close? who knows.

To dumb down the identity of digimon as "its tomgachi for boys" just because thats what it started as is to be a completely fucking retarded low iq retard who thinks cant grow or evolve over time.

Tamers is the black sheep. It's the one that goes the furthest away from what Digimon is.

>>713137872
It's just boring wasteland as far as the eye can see.
And I dislike the D-Reaper as well as it overtly emphasizes the presence of humans in the formation of the Digital World.

In the original media, the Digital World is another dimension that can't be directly observed by humanity. Initially, the only way humans could interact with Digimon at all was through special equipment. This is what the V-pets were supposed to be. The technology was still in early stages, so all we could see were a handful of pixels, but this was the only form in which Digimon could be viewed by humanity. As human technology progresses, our ability to observe Digimon does as well. Likewise, because Digimon exist in a completely separate dimension totally removed from our own, the internet more or less functions as a translation medium through which they can be viewed. The reason Digimon and the Digital World derives so much from human technology isn't because they were birthed from human technology, but because we can only observe them through that lens. We don't know what Digimon "really" look like, but we observe them as dinosaurs, robots, knights, etc., because this is the only lens we can view them through. This is also why depending on the observation medium used, a Digimon's form can vary wildly. For instance, depending on how it's observed, ChaosDukemon can instead become Megidramon or vice versa. They're the same entity, but the observation method completely changes its identity.

Humanity did not create Digimon or the Digital World, it only created technology that allows us to observe and interact with them. The reason they're called "Digimon" is because digital technology is the only way we can see and define them.

>>713134972
It's very simple, anon. Examon is the ultimate dragon Digimon who stands unmatched and also is a royal knight on the side when Yggdrasil decides to buy more RAM. While Dynasmon is the ultimate wyvern Digimon who stands unmatched and also is a royal knight on the side when Yggdrasil isn't throwing a hissy fit.

>>713138242
this is complete bullshit full of 1000 plotholes as soon as you remember that somehow real life humans went to the digital world and vice versa. its really fucking bad writing.

>>713138346
This was the original V-pet lore. For instance, take Examon. Examon already existed, but human technology was unable to render it until it advanced to a certain point. We literally could not see it despite knowing it existed because our computers couldn't handle an exabyte of data at the time. Once our tech advanced to the point where it was possible, we became able to observe it. Examon proves that Digimon were not created by humans. They always existed, and we just lacked the means to observe them until we developed computers.

Afterwards, in order to interact better with humans, the Digital World continued to process information from the human network technology. The way we perceive them continues to be influenced by the internet because we wouldn't be able to comprehend them otherwise.

Not necessarily true. Often it came into being upon the first computer (the berry something or other) being created and evolved since then.

Some Digimon are born from information on computers
It's kind of a mix of some Digimon just existing, some being born from absorbing information, some being created by other Digimon, some being created by humans, and some just being created out of the power of friendship and wishes

>>713138739
This is only true in the Adventure canon, and even then, it was mainly something that the devs for the Wonderswan games came up with. In the Wonderswan games, ENIAC is the god of the Digital World, the progenitor of that world. But this is also contradicted by other Adventure media, in which the host computer of the Digital World is Homeostasis.

So depending on which side of the fence you're on, Adventure's Digital World's host is either ENIAC or Homeostasis.
In Tamers, the creators of Digimon were the Wild Bunch, a university after school club.
In Xros Wars, the Digital World is explicitly stated to predate humanity.

>>713138810
The original Digimon predate human technology, but human technology started heavily influencing the Digital World so some Digimon started being born here as well. Once a connection between Digimon and humanity was established, the evolution of Digimon became inextricably linked to our own development. So humanity are not the Digital World's creators, but we do have a symbiotic relationship with them.

The point is that there isn't a consistent digital world or human world at all, it is whatever the writers want. In Digimon Story the Digimon were discovered inside human computers in 1993 iirc (as in the digital world is explicitly inside them and not just connected to them), in CS/HM the Digimon weren't even from the same dimension whatsoever and humans made contact far later than 1993. Even inside Digimon Story their origins aren't consistent.

>>713139229
Survive lore is actually loosely derived from old Adventure lore, in which it was theorized that many Japanese youkai are actually influenced by Digimon. So Adventure is hyper-inconsistent about what Digimon actually are as well. Mind you, a lot of the biggest inconsistencies come from the Wonderswan games.

>>713139389
you are literally the physical embodiment of the autistic manchild who hyper fixates on things were when you first discovered them and refuses to ever allow things to change or grow.

I see it as, Dynasmon has less conditional access to raw power than Examon.
Examon is Popeye winding up a punch for 30 seconds to kill everyone in a row while Dynasmon can just throw a jab and kill a guy.
Technically, in a dick measuring contest, Examon wins out, but Examon is kinda impractical and cumbersome to actually deploy. If that makes sense.

>>713138619
>exabyte of data at the time
Holy shit I just realized why Examon is called Examon I'm so dumb holy fuck

Omegamon's "All Delete" and "All Recover" are command prompts.
"Omegamon" is a line of IBM products.

>the tamers often seem to have defined personalities, rather than being totally mute protags like Pokemon trainers.
I use a pseudo name so I can self-insert while distancing myself from an avatar that won't behave exactly as I would.
In games with male/female protagonist options, I choose the girl if I don't like the boy and pretend she's my daughter.

>>713080836
I use canon names because I am incapable of self-inserting and joke names take me out of the experience

Fun fact, Examon is no longer the largest Digimon
It is the galaxy level Grace Novamon
I hope they add her with the other Olympus mons

>>713098395
We already know that the entire roster from the Cyber Sleuth duology are in

>>713143784
there is 0 chance the game where Apollomon and Dianamon are meant to be main players WON'T have Grace Novamon
it will be the equivalent of that Cyber Sleuth moment where Omegamon is formed

>>713077761 (OP)
ok but does it have jiggle physics

>>713078089
Why is there a terriermon vtuber?

>>713102295
>the first game is worth $30 at MAXIMUM
I will assume you mean Cyber Sleuth
Which is a PS Vita game.

Time Stranger is a PS5 game. So yeah I would imagine it might be worth a little more than Cyber Sleuth.

It's incredible.

>>713143784
>Olympos XII game

Gee, I wonder

>>713077761 (OP)
Sorry OP I tried to read your post but I opened the image first and now I'm fucking blind

>>713143784
I still don't really like GraceNovamon. If Omegamon is 30% WarGreymon, 30% MetalGarurumon and 40% Other, then GraceNovamon is 30% Apollomon and 70% Other. I don't see Dianamon at all anywhere on its design.

>>713144129
Gracenovamon was already shown in one of the editions merch iirc.

>>713087126
Fuck that's sick.

>>713092549
Given how much it seems to be modeled after SkullGreymon, probably Perfect to serve as a parallel.

Hope Kaguyamon's in.

is gundramon in this game

>>713143784
>manlet garurumon

They should make Omegamon Zwart a mode change for Omegamon via applying Black Digitron.

>>713147293
Confirmed to be Perfect.

Same with Sharkmon.

>>713143784
I really don't like this on multiple accounts honestly. They not only took Examon's gimmick, but they also ruined any chance of Dianamon and Apollomon getting cool fusions or super forms with this thing that doesn't even remotely resemble either of them or have any relation to their respective games. Could have been a nice moment of fanservice for Story fans, but nope just generic knight fanservice for the six trillionth time.

>>713149201
Apollomon technically has Whispered, which is supposed to represent a total solar eclipse.

Dianamon just need its own equivalent to Whispered.

>>713149351
That's more of like a Dark Gear sort of power up, really. They both need a thematically appropriate fusion or individual form changes, something that actually retains their traits like Dianamon being sailor moon and the whole lion's mane being a sun sort of aesthetic.
Like you'd think it would be obvious that a fusion of the two would be a Lunar or Solar Eclipse instead of some logic leap to the big bang, you could even get two forms out of it.

>>713149201
You actually can see elements of Apollomon on GraceNovamon's design. But the only thing that seems to be derived from Dianmon is that tiny crescent moon on its torso that you can't even notice most of the time.

>>713150283
To an extent, yeah. They're really pushing it though, like if I didn't know who it was I'd believe it if you just said this was Jesmon Alter Z or whatever.

>>713149201
That's the reason I don't like Gracenovamon as their fusion too, I can kinda see the fire hair/color scheme from Apollomon but not much else, but then Dianamon's sickle thing are it's Knees? there's a tiny moon in it's chest, and maybe the golden part of the shoulder pads?

>>713087126
That is fucking dope

My theory with GraceNovamon is that Watanabe was assigned to create a fusion between Apollomon and Dianamon but found the concept too limiting so he gave up and just did whatever he wanted, incorporating elements of Apollomon where he could.

>>713131805
We got infinite mana

>>713149201
Personally I don't even remember the names of Knightslop mons, they all bleed together visually.

>Digimon World 3 and DS series still haven't been ported
BANDAI please...

>>713151071
>An alternate more physically orientated Magical girl form with Dianamon as the base that has fist weapons and sun elements worked into it like that one yellow symphogear girl or the explosive fist girl from RWBY
It's right there, Watanabe. Get it together.

>>713077761 (OP)
is zundamon in?

Digibros, please tell me honestly.. is Digimon tamers really one of the best Digimon seasons out there??
i saw like the first 5-6 episodes and i kept dropping it cause it felt fucking boring...
only THREE digidestined or whatever instead of a big group seemed extremely lame... meaning only like 3 digimon evolution lines for the entire season?? i didnt dig that.
Is the story really worth it? are the villains good at least?

>>713154462
The fewer characters there are the easier it is to flesh them out.

>>713121423
Piedmon

>>713154462
>Is the story really worth it?
Yeah, it is a very well written and heartwarming story. I don't really think It's particularly a Digimon Story though, it just has Digimon in it.

>are the villains good at least?
Probably the only good anime villain other than Lucemon (who was in a shit show), although personally I like Myotismon a lot too.

Also more than three digidestined is too much honestly, the others don't really get screen time or centre stage at all past that. The Izzy and Mimi episodes were all great for example, but they don't really have much bearing on the plot aside from Izzy explaining world details.

>>713135743
>but considering Pokemon has been shitting the bed as of late
This is the wrong mindset to try and pick up a new series with.

>>713154462
It's more of a slow burn than other shows.

Tamers had a ton of dumb executive meddling that wasn't really handled in a graceful manner. Konaka did what he could with some things, like incorporating the card game in a way that allowed the tamers to have a more direct role in battle, before phasing them out because, well, you can't scan cards when you're physically fused with the Digimon you're supporting. The way he handled Ryo wasn't really great and he ended up being something of a tumor. Takuya's friends kind of overstayed their welcome.

Takuya is also, like, the only relatively realistic 10-year-old in the main cast, meaning he's generally dumber and clumsier than everyone else around him.

I hope the next Digimon Story protagonist is based like Daimon Masaru or Takeru.

>>713156024
Never cared for Takeru. Aside from that one instance, he was too passive and boring. In the majority of instances, he was the least entertaining character in the show. I don't really think one or two short moments are really enough to dictate a character's worth. Takeru was intensely uninteresting.

>>713156024
All of the Digimon Story protags are based.

>>713156515
Yeah, but I need to fight some nigga. Slap a cuck so hard that his teeth fall out, and then I'd punch a bul so hard that his BBC would fall off. Catch my drift? I want that level of kino in my Digimon games.

>>713156595
So you want a game like Fate/Samurai Remnant where you control the Tamer who fights directly in battle, with your Digimon acting as supports/summons?

>>713154974
Appreciate it anon, i guess i'll give Tamers another try if the story is really a good as most Digimon fans say. Hopefully the 3 main characters are very fleshed out at least

>>713156595
I don't speak urban youth, but you have Ami and Takumi trading blows with Arata in Cyber Sleuth already. The earlier protagonists don't trade blows per say, but the basic plot is that they're just so ridiculously autistic about minmaxxing that no threat in the Digital World can hope to match them.

FISH BROS DON'T STOP WINNING

>>713154462
I'd say so
It has a few weaknesses compared to others, but I think it does really well in its areas of strength, arguably the best.
When you really think about it, most seasons/series don't actually have more than three main cast members. Joe, or Mimi, or TK weren't pulling full narrative weight in Adventure, right?
Adventure barely pulled off having Tai and Matt be core characters, the better focus on 3 mains means not only do you get 3 core cast members + Digimon, but the secondary characters get as much time as they need, instead of having to have another episode to pretend they're core cast, when they're not. I agree, fewer Digimon developing is a bit sad, but there's still plenty of other cool dudes who show up.

>>713144243
They deliver digimon news and segments, we also have a vtuber for the card game who does weekly news updates.

>>713157527
The secondary characters weren't even supposed to be Tamers in the first place. Konaka just made them Tamers because the opening director arbitrarily chose to give them Digivices.

>>713103728
You're probably confusing it for Survive which released 3 years ago after many delays

>>713154462
Savers is the best season because it:
A) Has distinct characters with personalities
B) Has an ongoing story that the protagonists are working towards
You might ask "That sounds really basic, why does that make it the best season?" The answer to that being despite the two things being listed as the fundamentals of any fictional story they are mostly missing from most seasons of Digimon. Thus Savers kind of just wins by doing the bare minimum and thus being kind of enjoyable. The worst things I can say about it is that they bodge the ending, but it's not even the worst season in that regard and there's one episode where it pretends Yoshino is a character.

Tamers on the other hand is probably the worst season because you can skip like 35 episodes and not really miss anything of value.

>>713160624
Out of all the writers for Digimon, Konaka was probably the least experienced at writing such a long show a merchandise-oriented structure. Fifty episodes, plus he needs to introduce certain new evolutions at specific intervals. He clearly struggled with it. It probably wouldn't have been so bad if it was merely long, but based on how he never did the series composition for such a long show ever again, you can tell he was kind of uncomfortable with it. He did get involved with similar types of shows, but he never took the lead on them again.

>>713087849
Neat.

>>713161252
A similar thing happened with Urobuchi when he wrote Kamen Rider Gaim. He really, really struggled with the merchandise element, to the point where he just kept having someone give the protagonist his upgrades for free. To the very end, he just couldn't consistently figure out a way to have the characters receive these power-ups organically.

>>713160624
>there's one episode where it pretends Yoshino is a character
Yoshino was bland but honestly a straight man of the group was necessary whek the rest of the team are a retard, an autist and a caveman. Also Lalamon being violently protective of her despite having such a cutesy design was funny.

>>713162043
Don't get me wrong I didn't mind her most of the season, but the episode where her digimon got her Ultimate was irritating. The season did the tying digimon's evolution to personal growth thing really well but when it came to her turn because she really wasn't a defined character other than her role on the team it falls flat when the show tries to pretend they'd established her as a character with flaws to overcome.

>>713154462
>meaning only like 3 digimon evolution lines for the entire season?
Is this the most important thing for you?
Anyway, just stick with it

>>713160624
>Savers is the best season because it:
>has thing that almost all other Digimon series have
>has thing that almost all other Digimon series have
Is the bar really so low for Saversfags?

>>713162614
They really don't anon. You're blinded by nostalgia.
None of the other seasons actually have an overarching goal that the characters are actively working towards. There might be some end point, but things just kind of happen until a small plot advancement is made or they confront the villain they're trying to take down.

>>713162935
>>713162935

>>713162958
This is the same demo everyone else got so nothing big, but it does show the QTE system

Strike Plus
Get the QTE and it triggers a varierty of effects, heal allies, inflict status, etc. The effect varies depending on the digimon's species and personality.

The Exveemon did 2 normal attacks for his one. Although it only triggered once in this 15min boss fight so maybe you can just ignore it completely if you hate QTEs

>>713136294
Nailed it. Next order is the only world style game I’ve played since and even though combat and evolution mechanics were objectively way better it just felt like a generic RPG world with anime characters.
