Another 30 minutes of gameplay preview.

Post hopes and fears, also your partners. Just 3 months more!

Im already sold Im not going to watch it
But glad to see they are actually trying to sell the game for once

I’m so fucking hyped. When it was first shown I was a little worried it was just going to be the equivalent of a Cyber Sleuth 3 with little changed from those games but the voice acting for all the mons, tons of mons being rideable, actually going to the Digital World, and changes to the combat system makes this feel brand new. It’s straight up looking like the Digimon game of my dreams

I liked Cyber Sluts and this looks even better

>>713162935 (OP)
Confirmed over 450 digimon in game. Pic rel is what known so far.

I dont like that the MC looks like a flight attendant

>>713164586
How many are those?

>>713164614
You should be playing as a boy anyway.

>>713164614
The Male MC looks like they dressed a modern Kamen Rider as a classic one and the female MC looks like she should be standing behind Dr. Evil.

>>713164614
he doesn't though

oh I just noticed she's wearing goggles

Why did they give Minervamon a visible buttcrack? lol

>>713164916
Nice tits

>>713164916
Nice pits

>>713164916

>>713164586
Cute, scary, weird, cool, big, small, plant, insect, toy, dragon, robot, fuck digimon is awesome.

>>713165162
Based Devs, gives me hope Beelstarmon will have her butt crack showing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXzKx5IthUU
The game honestly looks amazing, though I'm a bit bothered by the deluxe version/season pass costing $30, not sure if 3 extra missions and 3 x 5 extra digimon are worth that price unless they go all out and make them into a post game story dungeon thing instead of a short extra challenge mission like how it was on Cyber Sleuth.

Have they shown off any other boss fights?

>>713162935 (OP)
do all the Digimon still only have one fully animated attack, then recycle the same generic animation for everything else with corresponding element-colored VFX?

>>713164614
i'm not worried about that so much. i'm sure there's some outfit customization or something. they even let you play a little dress up in Cyber Sleuth.

I need this game!

>>713169324
We're getting Alysion news at Anime Expo in two weeks, so maybe an announcement of a beta

>>713169829
>do all the Digimon still only have one fully animated attack, then recycle the same generic animation for everything else with corresponding element-colored VFX?

Yes they still have the one signature attack, some have two. Then so far the generic attacks look like it uses their normal attack/casting animations. There's more animations now like preattack, evade animations, there's a guard one but I can't remember if CS had them. They have more voice acting now, where the signature attack is fully voiced and they have some battle reaction lines for generic attacks/getting hit/attacking.

>>713164614
>>713169829
Pre-order, and both deluxe editions gives you extra costumes. Im hoping there's more in game tho

>>713169829
They have 4 slots for their specials now but we only saw aegiomon having more than one so far

yeah i dont like her neither i find generic, last female protagonist was better

>riding Garurumon looks like shit

???

>>713169547
Pirate the game. Or if you must psyop yourself into thinking you are "supporting" something, just pirate the DLC.

>>713174684
I'm more bothered by the fact I never see Garurumon in MC's party. I don't want some Pokemon shit where I can only ride some random rental, I want to ride my own buddy.

Same with Aegiomon, he's adorable as fuck but he's not one of my digis, so I don't really want him in my team.

>>713162935 (OP)
Climbing ladders in a mini skirt?

Nice to know she gives a free show to her civil in n.

>>713165162
We know as a matter of fact that Beelstarmon is supposed to have a canon visible buttcrack, so it's nothing new for Digimon. Wouldn't surprise me if the modeler found out Minervamon did too by looking at watanabe's super secret reference art or whatever.

>>713175250
With the amount of rideables they've shown off so far, and the fact that they've already said in interviews that it serves no gameplay purpose and is just for fun, I imagine you can ride (almost) any of your Digimon (presuming they're stage/size-locked)

>>713175530
Ah ok, if that's the case, I'm all for it.

>>713164586
Bearmon and Kotemon?! Can I please get Monmon so I can have a World 3 reunion?

>>713162935 (OP)
Showing the monster do an attack animation at the camera and then camera cutting to the foe being hit by a generic coloured explosion or slash is so cheap. Even Digimon World 3 showed the Digimon jumping over to the foe to attack them physically.

Do they somehow have less of a budget than they did on PS1?

I'm so hyped for Time Stranger and Alysion

>>713176883
One day, maybe dlc

>>713180226
They definitely are limited on budget, they've expressed as much before. Part of why it's 30 FPS across all platforms. Basically putting the budget into things that will garner interest, i.e. more Digimon

That'll be $119.99 + tip

>>713180226
>Even Digimon World 3 showed the Digimon jumping over to the foe to attack them physically.
Yeah and then they're about 10 pixels tall and the animation is simplistic so that you can tell what they're doing.

>>713186050
>no switch 2 release
Good

I just want a balance between Cybersleuth's normal and hard modes, where normal is "you literally cannot lose" and hard is an endless slog because all they do is massively pump up enemy defenses so every fight takes ages (unless you abuse penetrating attacks).

>>713183026
never
would prefer lamiamon and medusamon though but they are too new

>>713189127
That hasn't been the case for ages now. Some rare fights are still a slog like Eater Arata and penetrating attacks are a must for phase 1 + 2 of superboss Lucemon (which is fine), but for the regular gameplay they're not important.

>>713189127

>>713197561

It only works on retarded autists like yourself.
Just ignore the medals bullshit. Wow, how hard was that huh?
Medals serve ZERO purpose, zero gameplay benefit. Stop caring about trophy autism too while you're at it

>>713164586
If the game just reuses mons from previous games with touched up textures, then it could easily have a lot more.

>>713197734
>Stop caring about trophy autism too while you're at it
No

>>713196671
Take a good look; those stats are without any extra bonus stats. Aside from HP, those are just its base stats. This means that the base stats of this game are gonna be retarded. Possibly quintuple digits.

>>713193275
Like Visions of Mana, Soul Hackers 2, Kuro no Kiseki etc.
We've been through this song and dance over and over again

>>713162935 (OP)
I can't believe how good this game looks. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, to be honest.

>>713180226
>jumping over to the foe to attack them physically
This shit actually drives me more nuts in RPGs. Flipping the camera lets my imagination fill in the blanks, which is admittedly harder in something with this fidelity as opposed to older games, but I still find it less goofy than every character jumping 30 feet across a field and back to punch a guy.

>>713198005
>This means that the base stats of this game are gonna be retarded. Possibly quintuple digits.
God, I hope so.

>>713164586
>Starmon yet to be confirmed

Pretty sure Starmon bros will live to see another game.

>>713198856
Is talent just basically ABI?

>>713199069
It's the same as the max lvl so is likely.

>>713199069
Probably.
I hope ABI grinding isn't so awful this time

>>713170561
that is fucking devastating. i'm disappointed, but unsurprised.

>>713198856
Yeah, but I doubt stats are infinite. So even if you really, really want your Agumon to be viable in the endgame, it probably won't be.

>>713198510
What blanks are there to fill? There's also the issue of that kind of shit only kind of working with ranged attacks. When you see someone throw a punch, you need to see the contact too, or else it's just awkward. Seeing a guy punch, and then a second after a guy falls over from nothing sucks.

>>713180292
I want to see my personal favourites, but it would be fun playing blind so I can see new Digimon like these.

>>713199309
I honestly can't understand why you would expect anything different. Do you really not understand just how insane the number of unique animations they'd need to make to give every digimon a unique animation. SMT doesn't even do that so why the fuck would you expect this game to?

>>713162935 (OP)
You can play as Buttercup?

>>713199172
>>713199256
I just hope we don't get the same dumb farm stat boost mechanic. I hope they make talent a bit more interesting as a stat.

>>713199069
>Is talent just basically ABI?
Almost certainly, yeah, if it wasn't already confirmed. Gomamon is higher level here so I am admittedly just being hopeful, but considering when Gomamon evolves at only level ten you get this Mojyamon with notably lower stats I think it's possible the game will be a bit more like the DS and World games where stats progressively get higher. Or perhaps there's just not really a difference between forms anymore or the stat scaling from level ups is weirdly scaled I suppose.

>>713199509
I hope you can reach nutty stat levels. I feel like the stat distribution in CS was way to binary and uninteresting. If every digivolving you did on a digimon gradually built up it's base stats so you could really take a few digimon that are your favourites through the game that would be cool.

>>713198904
>starmons

>superstarmon
Why is this evolution line so mega retarded? almost looks the exact same.
If i was his digipartner id dump his ass on the adult/champion form and never look back lol
(still a bit better than Leonmon into Leomon BUT BLUE)

>>713199509
>>713199710
That kills balance and makes higher levels redundant. I don't see them really doing that. Higher level Digimon will almost certainly have higher stat caps than lower level ones.

>>713175250
Funny enough there's an actual mainline Pokemon game where you can ride your mons, and the ones that can be ride have their own funny animations (Imagine shit like literally clinging to Snorlax Belly our using a charizard to just bypass the map)
Of course that game happens to be Let's Go

>>713199846
It's a raising sim bro, who cares about balance. I want to raise my diginiggas to become god

>>713199920
CS is not a raising sim. I will die on this hill. That peice of shit is just a jrpg.

>>713199920
It's a JRPG, and I don't think Bandai's gonna answer your wish.

>>713179673

It's one thing to be a faggot
It's another thing to be a furry faggot.
Your kind needs to be sent to the gulag unironically

Maybe this will finally be the game in which Omegamon isn't shit.

>>713199846
>That kills balance and makes higher levels redundant
No, it doesn't. The higher ups will have stronger skills and a far easier time getting stats to usable levels, all this does is open up the ability for more varied playstyles and Digimon choices. Having set scaling is what makes 90% of the roster redundant because why the fuck would you ever use HerculeKabuterimon when Lilithmon exists as both a better tank, support and DPS? You could easily mitigate it even further with how the DS games also had passive skills that meant even a perfect Agumon will always be weaker than a perfect Wargreymon.

>>713200342
That's the point of evolution. You get stronger as you evolve. It's the entire fucking premise of Digimon as a whole. OF COURSE Digimon become redundant as they evolve. OF COURSE an Agumon can't defeat an Apocalymon just by punching it to death with 999999 STR.

>>713200342
Plus it's still shit for balance because if you can infinitely raise a Digimon's stats to the cap, you're basically just making the entire game pointless. Raising a Susanoomon to the point where it can one-shot the final boss with a normal attack isn't what I'd call good balance, much less being able to do the same with a Botamon.

>>713200342
I mean, before the answer was party memory.
Lower forms could do some things "well enough" to save on party memory for other slots.
MegaKabuterimon, for example, is pretty solid to take well beyond where most Ultimates fall off, in its niche.

If there's not party memory, then there's not... REALLY a balance reason to just bring a worse thing. You can make higher forms provide things that stick through lower forms just fine, so reaching those levels is meaningful, but still make it so you can use whatever little bastard you like.

>>713199309
this game is the only one I know that gives each monster voiced signature attacks, some throwaway line for other attacks, and grunts upon getting hit. I don't think there's any other monster collecting game with 400+ mons that gives each mon that much detail

>>713200870
The Yo-Kai Watch games did that.

>>713199309
Are you insane? This game might have a higher budget than the standard Digimon game, but Bandai are still notorious cheapskates. There's no way in hell they're gonna give the funding to give every single Digimon a dozen unique attack animations.

Also, why the fuck should every single Digimon have a unique animation for "Generic Fireball Attack That Every Single Digimon Can Learn #3"?

>>713200257
My sister had a thing for Beezlemon. Is she a furry?

>>713200473
No, it isn't. That's just your random assumption about the series based on nothing at all. Stat growth is important to the design of many Digimon games whether it's World or the DS titles. I don't care if you personally don't like it, that's not an argument.

>>713200624
By that logic basically no rpgs and action rpgs that rely on stats are balanced because you can just spend hours upon hours grinding to win with stats. That obviously isn't how an actual playthrough will play out under this kind of system, any more than someone grinding to max level in FF before the first boss or whatever. Heck, you can out grind everything in CS/HM except the postgame fights anyway if you just sit there grinding exp.

>>713200643
Party memory works until endgame where the cost becomes irrelevant, but yeah that was one of methods they tried to circumvent some Digimon being objectively better in all metrics.

>>713200473
>>713200624
>>713200643
I was the other guy who said they wanted more stat growth and honestly I'm fine with lower mons capping at a lower cap than higher evolution digimon. My main grievence was on how lttle stats actually changed. Having the farm be literally the only way to actually get any stats just made building your digimimon boring because there was basically nothing to do. I just want something to work towards to improve them more than just slapping them in the farm with the right requirements to get the specific stats you want and going AFK for a bit. It was an insanely boring system.

>>713200257
Sorry, they clearly want my money since they keep making hot Digimen. Your rape dungeon fantasies can wait.

>>713201547
It's a JRPG after all. There isn't much you can do on that front. Would you prefer an EV system like Pokemon? That just encourages extremely meticulous grinding.

>>713201629
I'm not even sure what point you're trying to make with this post and I can honestly only assume you haven't played very many JRPGs if you actually think what CS does with it's complete and utter lack of customization and growth is the norm.
>That just encourages extremely meticulous grinding.
Yeah? You should need to put effort in if you want to get insanely busted. That's why it tends to be optional and never required for the game outside of autistic end game shit which is what I want it for.

>>713201821
But Digimon need specific stats in order to reach certain evolution paths. I don't really want to have to look up what Digimon give what EVs just so I can evolve my MetalGreymon to Mugendramon.

>>713196591
It looks more natural in this game at least

>>713197476
Nobody buys third parties on the Switch and who cares about Japan

>Your main "partner" is an Aegiomon with a linear evolution path
Kinda lame. I mean, yeah, I guess that's the only way they could do it, but I've never cared about the Aegiomon line, ever. So this game is just saddling me with a Digimon I don't particularly want.

I know the games have always struggled with giving partner Digimon stronger roles and personalities, but this is kinda disappointing. Come to think of it, if this were a Royal Knight focused game, it'd probably be Hackmon instead of Aegiomon. Dunno if that'd be better or worse.

>>713201934
I never said that was what I wanted. I want there to be more room for growth outside of level(which is trivial to gain with the exp boost passive digimon letting you go from 1 to 99 in like 10 minutes) and the farm which has zero actual engagement. I found digivolving uninteresting really quickly in Cyber Sleuth because there was literally nothing to actually do. You didn't have any real interesting customization with skills, nor gear or anything like that. You just got the digimon you wanted maybe going back and forth a few times to boost ABI(which is also super boring) and then you're done, it's criminal for a JRPG to lack customization and growth potential. I'd say those are the 2 most important factors for a JRPG and CS lacked in both.

>>713202345
Aegiomon is Inori's partner

>>713202345
He's not "your" partner. He's the main heroine's partner.

>>713202446
It's still apparently a permanent member of your party. There are three sub-party members and one of them will apparently always be Aegiomon. So in terms of gameplay, it basically is your semi-permanent partner.

>>713201629
>There isn't much you can do on that front.
They already have a system in the previous jrpg games. You digivolve + de-digivolve to increase stats and you can feed the same type Digimon into each other to take a percentage of their stats as well, you can also put them in the farm to power raise specific stats to skip grinding or fulfill the stricter evolution requirements. You don't need to have EVs or whatever system you're imagining.

>Digimon game
>Taking place in the digital world
we are so back

>>713202436
It was probably what they chose due to the sheer number of Digimon. These games encourage "catching 'em all" even moreso than Pokemon does, and it would take forever to raise every single one. It's a lame system, but I guess they couldn't think of anything better.

>>713164586
>not kunemon
WHY

>>713202161
sounds like major cope

>>713202684
I don't think it's really and and/or situation when you can make an digimon into anything else.

CS and HM kept adding new digimon months after release. They even stealthdropped apocalymon at some point.
I'm expecting something like that.

>>713202575
If they at least let us turn Aegiomon into some of his other forms that would be cool, I don't expect much since we have our own partner Digimon

>>713202819
Sure

>>713202856
Even if they did, it all leads int othe same Ultimate forms, and I have no affection for Jupitermon. Its design is kinda whatever.

>>713202927
>posted it again award
must be difficult being a retarded brownie

>>713202856
Those forms gives me Megaman ZX vibes I don't know why, neat.

>>713203076
It should've incorporated the planet's iconic red spot.

>>713201029
they aren't supposed to make different animations for every Digimon performing every attack, they're supposed to make 2 animations for every attack that all the Digimon can use, like Pokémon Stadium. and the only reason i say 2 instead of 1 is because i assume they would need bipedal and quadrapedal versions of each animation.

and it probably wouldn't even be that much, because you can recycle the Fire I animations for Fire II, Fire III, etc. potentially even for other elements, if the only visual difference is a quadraped spitting a ball of lightning at the other Digimon instead of a ball of fire.

>>713203417
Again, Bandai are notorious cheapskates.

I hope the story is decent in this one. It was so uninteresting in CS that I basically stopped paying attention by the last 5th of the game and just spammed x to continue without even looking.

>>713202783

This post cracks me up because it completely overlooks the fact that buying the console, one game, one extra controller, and a new SD card costs $750. How many games are people expected to purchase at launch when the baseline price of the system is like $600, unless you're not picking up any additional controllers and are gonna rely on internal memory–despite the proliferation of Game Key Cards, meaning you *will* need more storage space than your Switch 1 did? I'm not spending a fucking thousand dollars at GameStop in one trip, get the fuck outta here. Bang my line if this pattern holds for 6 months. Then we can talk. lol

>>713204216
Hell no, fuck Nintendo. I just think it's kinda dumb that that post is overlooking a massive component as to why third-party games aren't moving units like Mario Kart or the Zelda Enhanced Editions.

>>713204254
I'm fine with the male MC cause I like his design but yeah I heard HM has a better story than CS but I don't really care enough to find out since most people say it's basically just the same game. With Time Stranger coming out so soon I'd rather just wait to play that instead.

I hate Story games so much. Give me vpets.

There are simply other games to play. I don't *need* to play Digimon so badly that I don't care about the protagonist's appearance. Certainly not when Hacker's Memory is just Cyber Sleuth 1.5, and I already had like 200 hours in CS.

>>713206784
Dogshit in what way? Gameplay-wise or graphics-wise? I can see an argument for gameplay, since it just looks like rock-paper-scissors element bullshit, like the previous games, but graphicly the game looks fantastic.

>>713202345
>the games have always struggled with giving partner Digimon stronger roles and personalities
how Agumon was handled in Survive was one of the only things the game did well, and it would be cool to see an expanded form of that where your partner changes depending on what you evolve to out of a few different lines

I'm instantly beelining to get Beelzemon for his mount as soon as possible

>>713164586
Wow that'll be the most pokemon on any single ps4 game ever made!!!1 lol gaming is dying

Why can't the game just release tomorrow... It's still so long away...
On the bright side I still haven't played Hackers Memory, so I should do that.

>>713207442
The previous games had two rock, paper, scissors games at once. Element and Attribute. Also Asmongold is just rage baiting and farming views with other people's content, it isn't worth your time listening to him.

>>713207480
You can even do a Summon Night Swordcraft Story style thing where there a big decision at the start of the game that determines your partner Digimon out of 3 choices, then on top of that you can evolve it Survive-style
That would be in my opinion the best way to handle partner Digimon in a video game

>Minervamon
Where is Mervamon? Isn't she like the grown up goddess version?

Hope Commandramon and the D-Brigade and/or Digipolice are in this.

I just hope the end game doesn't just devolve to spamming your DEF pen moves because that's literally the only thing that's actually capable of doing damage.

>>713164614
You're supposed to be playing as the male MC because the opposite MC is part of your groupies.

>>713208017
I'm expecting most of our traveling companion digimon to digivolve throughout the story

>>713208276
This. I'm specifically playing as the male MC because I like the FemC design more.

>>713208106
I think in one of the recent interviews with the producer he talked about specifically trying to rebalance the game to avoid a repeat of pen moves being too strong

>>713205629

According to interviews piercing should be nerfed

>>713208660
Oh. That's not something like a trailer to another adventure movie?
Shit.

>>713208824
Piercing was supposedly nerfed in HM and it was still the go-to for everything, especially on Hard, so I think we should wait and see on that one. Online was like the only place where non-piercing combat was viable but that meant playing online.

>>713208827
It's just a promo video for the anniversary. It's short but it's unironically much better than all the other Adventure media from recent years.

He's not wrong. I dropped Piedmon because his signature sucked ass and his stats weren't great and couldn't do much of anything aganst eater shits. Same with Darkdramon. On the other hand GranKawagamon and HerculesKabutarimon were both piercing gods with Gran being a lightning fast glass cannon on top, so I at least got to use some bugs. Sakuya was also amazing as a healer/ support, so I can't complain too much.

>>713208607
Other than a pair of out of focus legs, nothing from those awful movies is referenced in Beyond. Not even the pointless cellphone Digivices. There's some blink and you'll miss it Tri cameos, though.

>>713208824
Pierce shouldn't exist at all. Being able to ignore the opponent's defensive stats outright is bad design.

>>713208824
The problem isn't really that piercing was too strong, the problem was that everything else was dogshit.
The problem is that non-piercing attacks sometimes struggle to do any amount of noticeable damage, sometimes fail to outpace regen or HP drain effects, and are completely unable to kill things before your entire party is dead.
Nerfing pierce beyond what they did in HM would be utterly disastrous, because non-pierce damage was irrelevant, if it didn't have a ludicrous damage modifier.
Fukkin. ShineGreymon BM has a non-pierce attack that does acceptable damage, but I think that one has a fukkin stupidly high damage modifier, and costs so much getting more than two off requires building to do so.
The non-pierce sources of damage that are adequate are even more restrictive than the sources of pierce.

>>713210101
Having enemies with such titanic defense pools is also bad design. So are status effects that pretty much do nothing and enemies that are then immune to them.

>>713210219
Also this, yeah
Status that never works on bosses is just stupid game design, you're wasting time making things that aren't useful.
If you can't balance a half dozen statuses that all boil down to "lose a turn", come up with something better.

They should incorporate lore into the gameplay.

>WarGreymon does extra damage against dragons
>Angemon species does extra damage against and takes extra damage from demons
>When Omegamon is the last unit left on the field, Final Holy Knight procs, increasing its stats.
>GrandDracumon weakens all Angel-species Digimon
>Junomon automatically enters Hysteric Mode if Jupitermon isn't in the same party

>>713178275
Wonder what this guy does

>>713210559
I'm optimistic this will actually be in the game, to some small extent.
The parrot from the trailer, has the mechanic of lightning being redirected to "metallic" digimon.
HOPEFULLY there's more interactions like this, that rely on logic/lore of the digimon in question for niche interactions.
I'm braced for the possibility of this not going anywhere, but I have hope.

>>713210559
Devimon's special does more damage against holy digimon so there's definitely more things like that

>>713210163
>>713210219
I think the defense pool complaints are way overblown. It is definitely true for some encounters, most notably Arata who is a vertical difficulty jump and probably made 90% of players switch to Normal, but the average story or sidequest boss isn't a damage sponge at all. It is definitely an issue they needed to address and I'm glad its most likely gone, but people act like you'll take seven years to kill a random miniboss without piercing attacks when it's really only the major boss battles and postgame superbosses (it's arguably okay to have it for these ones) that need them.

>>713162935 (OP)
fem protag isn't as cute as the chick from 1 or 2 desu

I wasn't expecting a cheap dub to have perfect voice actors, but I would have expected them to at least imitate the original English cast.
They're better than half of the 100 Line cast, but nowhere close to the better half. Just painfully mediocre.

>>713211513
I could see Omegamon filling out all 4 slots with the extra moves it showcased in the 2020 reboot

>>713198904
Nevermind, I spy Superstarmon in the bottom row of the Perfect category.

>>713209338
The season pass will take almost one year to finish, so it better be an actual story expansion that takes hours to finish instead of a bunch of post game bosses like Cyber Sleuth.

I hope that Omegamon's Defend animation involves it deploying its shield.

>>713211564
Eh I'm fine with the different sounding voices. It's not like it's the same Kyuubimon or anything. The agumon clearly sounds like a girl.

>>713199846
I just don't want be stuck using the same
15 megas I don't give a shit about because they have the best stats and moves while everything else is shit like CS
The DS games let me use who I wanted. Cap it for PvP if it matters.

>>713211070
>but people act like you'll take seven years to kill a random miniboss without piercing attacks when it's really only the major boss battles and postgame superbosses (it's arguably okay to have it for these ones) that need them.
Maybe that's true once you're replaying the game, but on a first playthrough, you have no idea when a boss you're going to need them is going to happen, so have every incentive to teambuild around them constantly after the first time you run into something that more or less demands them.
The first time the average player runs into one of these things, they wipe, then grab piercers who never leave their party for tbe rest of the game.
Every time a piercer does well affirms this choice as correct, and every time you run into a boss that seems like it's near untouchable without pierce, you feel relieved you have yours again.

>>713211513
A lot of them have 3-4, anom. Dianamon in the lore for example has Crescent Harken, Bow of Artemis and some attack she does with her moon face legs that puts people to sleep I can't remember the name of.
You can look at Wikimon if you're curious to find some, this guy for example.
https://wikimon.net/Zeed_Millenniumon

>>713212883
I only played the game once and this is sadly true. I had to force myself to admit that wargrey was stronger than omni in this game and kept greytornadoing every hp bloated boss to death.

>>713211564
Tankmon and Renamon sounds good, also sidenote I'm getting Pokemon Colosseum vibes from the Central Town battle

>>713211513
Quite a few Digimon have kinda obscure attacks that are only ever mentioned or done once
I think Machinedramon is an example that could actually go over having four, since it has the backpack cannon, chest missiles, a tail mounted energy blade, a tail mounted PHYSICAL blade, fire breath, the chain claw tether, the arm drill, a missile/energy blast from the drill arm, AND a self destruct, in addition to conventional bludgeoning, clawing, ect.
Machinedramon is an extreme case, I'd be surprised if there were many with as much as Machinedramon has going on, but, it's an example of how easy it is to shoot past even 4.

>>713213291
meh, renamon doesn't sound sexy enough.

>>713212883
Yeah, that's why I'm agreeing it is good they're probably gone. I don't like them as a concept, but I also don't like how people pretend CS/HM is literally unplayable without them and that everything is useless except them. It's similar to how people act like the DS games are just nothing but grinding when in reality there's no need to grind at all until maybe the final boss, or even after that with Lost Evolution.

Most Penetrating attacks are actually garbage too, but they're overshadowed by the good ones just like regular attacks were. Chaosmon for example has a terrible one, and the party wide ones aren't very good either.

>>713212883
>boss take 10 damage from all attack

glad I'm not the only one, it's comfy

>>713206784
who's that? zoomer e-celeb I'm assuming?

>>713212883
I am not disagreeing that they're bad in almost all areas I can think of, I just don't like the characterisation that they are the only viable tactic in every situation and everything else is completely useless all of the time. It is similar to how everyone who doesn't really know much about the DS games claim they're 99% endless grinding when in reality aside from the final boss Chronomon DM and his back to back fight with the Elemental Pillars phase, the DS games don't require any notable grinding until the postgame challenge fights many hours in. You will be fine playing with your favourites, but obviously there's still that itching feeling of "well I could use X to do it faster" that you pointed out which is why nerfing in singleplayer games is often necessary.

Best Digimon game ever made, the game had incredible spritework and a ton of content. Lots to do, that game was 100+ hours of straight up content all the way to the end as a standard playthrough. I am still blown away they stuffed that much content into a PS1 game. I want a remake.

>>713216717
No, it's another Digimon Story game.

>>713216854
>but this game and Cyber Sleuth have zero actual connections.
One of the characters in Time Stranger is Kyoko's father(?), anon. The guy mentioned who used to be friends with the gruff detective guy and got Kyoko into detective work. Inori is also wearing the CS/HM school outfit setting it in the same place even.

>>713173092
Coomers and waifufags. The original Cyber Sleuth was meant to be based on a male MC and only had the female option as a bonus. Players gravitated towards the chick because they waifu'd her, so the Digimon Story crew began including her (mostly) in all the promotional material going forward. It's likely the same case here. They know people want to look at the chick. I always played as the guy though. Doesn't the gender you don't pick show up in this as a character, like Pokemon does with its rivals?

>tfw having a shit ton of fun in Cyber Sleuth and already spent like 50 hours on it in the last 6 days
amazing game to be quite honest
i have installed a good few new digimon mods to make it more fun as well

>>713217612

Yes they're your on-call operator / coworker

>>713213430
>but I also don't like how people pretend CS/HM is literally unplayable without them and that everything is useless except them
Because most people play on Hard due to how Normal is an extreme snooze fest and if you go from playing on Hard to Normal you can see that. I had to for CS's Master Cup because on Hard just going from round 1 to 4 took like an hour only to die to Diaboromon spamming a full wipe party attack twice in a row every time he got turns. Once I dropped to Normal I slept through every fight because everything was only doing like 400 damage out of my 1600+ pool and had 1-2 turns.
>You deal 100 damage to Eaters with basically any non-penetrating attack and they have like 1500+ HP.
>Once you get to Champion level Digimon they're already shrugging off attacks with skills, and then once you reach Ultimate you can have all three focus on that one Digimon and it won't take more than like 40% of its health from the entire volley.
>Bosses have thousands upon thousands of HP, one or two-shot you, and you have bosses that can do nonsense like this if you don't just Accel Boost + Penetrate it.
>The strongest Accel Boosters + Non-Penetrating attacks in the game only do like 1500-2250 damage (and apply an extremely harsh penalty to themselves if they don't have Sistermon's Protect Wave) even if the boss is weak to the typing which you can even see in my webm whereas Lilithmon at neutral damage with Accel Boost can casually hit 2250 and upwards of 3800+ if they're weak to it.
I have a video where I killed this guy in two attacks after I died on this first run because I wasn't expecting a CS-tier boss out of nowhere. HM also has tons and tons of bosses in the last third of the game where not having a penetrating attack is to your detriment. The most basic example is them throwing you into like four Royal Knight battles randomly during the story and the only difference from CS is they're slower and you have Sistermon, that's it.

>>713200473
>OF COURSE an Agumon can't defeat an Apocalymon just by punching it to death with 999999 STR.
in cyber sluts stats are capped per species, which forces you to evolve if you wish to stand a chance against post-game bosses
the DS story RPGs let you up your stats as much as you want
ps: if you think an infinite supply of stat-increasing items is a digimon-only thing, plenty of games have them. e.g. breath of fire III lets you dupe absolutely any item in the game via the fairy village, including stat-raising items

>>713217712
Lilithmon is far and away the exception, anon, she dwarfs even other Penetrating Attackers as a pure DPS. iirc only Beelzemon BM, Belphemon RM and Gallantmon CM even come remotely close to her and they generally have downsides like Belphemon being stupidly slow. Lilithmon isn't even squishy to make her a glass cannon because INT blocks "magic" damage as well.

>>713164586

>>713199256

It's far better since you'll be able to just gun down Digimon battles and skip all the battling and looting.
Insane QoL in the game.

gib

>>713216503
We already know all the digimon in CS and HM will also be in the new game, it would probably be better to make a list of new Digimon that they added in Time Strangers to make roster speculation easier since they confirmed that they're adding 100+ new ones in TS.

>>713211070
on hard you need piercing moves, period. it cuts the amount of attacks you need to win significantly.
if you forego pierce, then you'd better tailor your party to each boss to leverage damage multipliers, which means savescumming to find out what they do and resetting

>We already know all the digimon in CS and HM will also be in the new game
Do we though?

>I've never had to grind in the DS rpgs. then again it's probably because I'm super slow reading so a lot of days pass in-game, I waited until evolving to maximize stat gains, and I actually bothered to use the farm, which gives you a ton of free stats (even if the menuing involved to swap your party in and out and re-equip is tedious as fuck)

>>713218265

Yeah for specific bosses, which is what I said. And they're not technically mandatory, they're effectively mandatory. It is entirely possible to beat 99.99% of things in those games with the regular attacks, it will just take more time and planning.
Well you couldn't for Lucemon, but you can't beat Lucemon without a special team set up anyway.

The one at the bottom HAS to be Octomon.
Or maybe it's IceDevimon because the horn is kinda thin.

https://x.com/RavelMonte/status/1936067260650590459

>During the 4Gamer interview for Digimon Story Time Stranger, Hara confirmed that this time the starting Partner Digimon were mainly decided on the idea of being able to evolve into the Olympos XII since they wanted players to easily have access to Digimon that are the main theme.

Here pick your starter based on which O12 you want

Patamon can go into Gatomon into Angewomon for Junomon/Venusmon, Gatomon can evo to Lilymon for Ceresmon
Patamon can go to Birdramon to Yatagaramon to Minervamon
Patamon can go to Holyangemon for Jupitermon
Gomamon can go to Whamon for Neptunemon
Gomamon can go to Frigimon, which can evo into Angewomon/Crescemon
Demidevimon can go to Dragomon for Neptunemon
Demidevimon can go to Kyuubimon/Taomon to Dianamon

Gomamon seems to have different evo routes than CS so there was changes already, but I guess it won't be too hard to get the O12 unless they go out of their way to make really specific evo routes. I dunno where the rest come in, Patamon probably reaches the most waifumons unless they remove the Gatomon evo.

>>713218379
Yes, they answered this question on the reveal stream a few months back.

>>713218617
Octomon's horn doesn't have a 90-degree turn either. That's what gives it away as IceDevimon.
The fourth one could be Octomon, but I don't think it looks very likely.

>>713208746
>>713209057
Oh! Great is fucking amazing.
I can't wait to play as the male protag.

>>713218183
You still get damage that's like 800 below Lilithmon with randos like B.Wargreymon, Wargreymon, Omnimon Zwart, Plesiomon, Rosemon BM, Chaosmon, and Chaosmon VA. It's not going to be that absurd 4K but even casually they do like 1200-1500 and go to 2000-3000 with Accel Boost. The only non-penetrators hitting that much are ShineGreymon BM, Lucemon SM, and Susanoomon, and the last one is very situational to even get to their level with much more effort because a basic Ouryumon or Alphamon outdamage him.

The amount of effort you have to put into the game just to make non-penetrators usable is stupid because they always need Sistermon carrying their asses so that they don't nerf their damage in half.

>>713218829
I fucking hate that they probably aren't giving us the rest of the Frontier Digimons

>>713218768
>90-degree turn
Both have horns that could appear to have 90 deegre bends at an angle

>>713218768
I think it's Drimogemon? I can kind of see the grooves of the drill in the shadow

>>713218617
It was always crazy to me that size never really mattered so much as your evolution level. A Digimon the size of a basketball could easily kick the ass of something that's multiple stories tall.

>>713218195
Digimon started with Perfect as the final stage. Then that got localized as Ultimate. For some reason Japan decided to reuse Ultimate for the next stage which was introduced later. That decision still causes mega/ultimate confusion to this day in causal converstaion. Honestly a bigger blunder than all of the dubisms that people prefer to complain about.

See you on the digital world

>>713218849
You are not getting near Lilithmon with ones like Chaosmon, anon. Chaosmon's attack is an INT Penetrating Attack and his base stats have no boosts to INT with most of the other stats going into ATK, it's the equivalent of trying to use Lilithmon with physical attacks. His regular unique attack unironically does more damage than his Pierce one, even with the random damage fluctuations.
Wargreymon and the like only have Strong Pierce attacks too, which iirc are only like 1-2 times damage in the original while Lilithmon was 3x. This only gets worse for party wide Penetrating attacks because they have massive costs and weaker damage than single target.

Again though, I am not disputing the idea that Penetrating attacks are stupid. Only that acting like they're the be all and end all of the combat is disingenuous.

My absolute retarded negroid: no. You have no idea what you are asking for.

>>713199256
ABI grinding was fine. That shoot took maybe 10 to 20 minutes.

>>713219589
Chaosmon sucks, yes, but like normal Omnimon you can focus him into evening out that flaw even if it's worse than other penetrators. Granted, Omnimon and both Chaosmons require more effort, but the point is that non-penetrators require setups others don't, or require things like super effective damage to deal what most (Not all) penetrators deal on neutral damage.
>Only that acting like they're the be all and end all of the combat is disingenuous.
But they are by far -the- best moves to use in any given situation even after HM supposedly nerfed them. You have to use extremely specific Digimon to get anywhere close to that damage whereas you can mostly pick the penetrators by dart board and 80% of them are going to be viable with no real effort to upgrade them or focus something for them. Hell, penetrators don't even require Attack/INT buffs at all compared to the non-penetrators who would like at least one or two most of the time.

Take Dynasmon for example. If you want to use him in the story he deals basically nothing while also dealing self damage and only shows his colors in PvP with real players because you can trip them up with the quick damage and penetration isn't as important in PvP.
Ouryumon is part of Alphamon Ouryuken and it on its own is considered one of the meta-defining Digimon just because of its passive and penetrating skill making it better than AO most of the times, and it takes no effort to get it in the story.
If I want to get Susanoomon I need to DNA Digivolve and I can't do it until the last few chapters.
If I want to get Lucemon SM I have to have played CS fully and I think without carry over data it's still endgame stuff along with a bunch of farm tweaking to Digivolve into it.
If I want ShineGreymon BM I have to jump through multiple hoops to do what I was already doing as Ouryumon dozens of hours ago without losing half my attack every hit.

There's next to no Digimon that don't use penetration that are worth it for attacking.

But how was he Koushiro's age when Koushiro was like 12 and Mimi was like 16. He can't be the age of both of them.

>>713220262
>There's next to no Digimon that don't use penetration that are worth it for attacking.
Perhaps, but there are also next to no Digimon that use Penetration who are worth it for attacking either. I'm not disagreeing with you on your conclusion or how it makes the party choices feel pointless, only on the problems that cause it and the severity of them.

>>713220291
>>713220298

>>713220697
Koushiro and Mimi were 10 in adventure I think.
They were younger than matt, tai, and sora but older than tk.

yeah, all the Tamers Digimon are in the town
the whole town is literally a reference to the anime series pretty much

>>713220236
>posts exactly what I'm asking for
Yes, fuck you. You should have to work hard to get shit like Omnimon or ZeedMilleniumon, and if you disagree you're probably lame. Lucemon is genuinely the only fun digivolution in the entirety of CS/HM and that's solely because you have to mess around a bit to get him. And worst of all, those requirements that you posted as a gotcha aren't even remotely hard either.

>>713219082
I'm gonna need

>Kazemon, Zephyrmon and AncientKazemon

>AncientVolcanomon
The rest of the Ten Legendary Warrior designs are kinda wacky and I don't care if we miss out on them

Never played a digimon game before, but I saw some of the anime stuff. How is digivolving set to work in this game exactly? Like do you have to manually transform your guy during each battle, is there a timer till they revert, or can you just switch them at will? I know it's not like Pokemon where it's permeable, and evolution is meant to make them stronger. So I'd figure there must be limitations on it?

Are X-antibodies in?

>>713162935 (OP)
No Minervamon X no buy.
Gimme my gremlinmon with visible cunny.

>>713219082
They'd take up so many slots it's hard to justify without making a whole game centered around the Warrior 10. Maybe next time now that Olympus had its turn, then again it's been a hot minute since the royal knights have had a game so maybe wait a decade or so once we get more kino knights games.

>>713221417
That evolution only happens in the Anime and the MMO.

>>713221424
No
They only get into gachas and the card game.

>>713221417
Usually in these games you need to reach a level and stat requirement to unlock the digivolution then set it active in a menu
You can go back forth between forms as you desire, sometimes digivolving needs to be done at a specific place like talking to an NPC in your base while other games let you do it on a whim
Dunno which option Time Stranger will opt for but either way it won't be too hard to change forms as needed

>>713221417
evolving at the start of battle only occurs in some games, usually they stay in whatever form you evolve them into until they evolve again outside of battle.

>>713221417
You level up your Digimon until it meets the requirements to evolve, then you evolve it outside of battle and it stays as that new Digimon until you evolve it again or de-evolve it back into a lower stage. That's how it works in this particular line of games, called Digimon Story.

>>713221417
nah, bro. Digivolving isn't a temporary Super Mode in Time Stranger. you're thinking too fantastical.

>>713221417
Basically your digimon meets some requirements (level, stats, etc), and then you manually evolve/devolve outside of battles. Then there are a few special ones where you combine two digimon specific digimon. In battles your digimon won't change forms.

>>713221417
Evolving in the anime is like going super saiyan and the many different tiers, don't think too much on it. For the games it really depends on the games. The digimon games don't usually keep the same formula like pokemon and changes everything including genres each game.

Digimon was inspired by Godzilla. To be a Digimon fan means to be a Godzilla fan. Start watching RIGHT NOW!

>>713162935 (OP)
How unfortunate. The game is probably gonna be as boring as CS. Actually pretty pathetic that Survive was the closest to actually feeling like a Digimon game and it is remarkably bad.

At least it'll have the same sleep/playtime bug as the Switch version probably when it comes out on the Switch 2.

>>713213372

Well Machinedramon IS a fusion of all the Machine Digimons body parts. It should be simple to reuse that many assets.

>>713221976
There's not enough giant bugs for me, sorry.

>>713221934
>don't think too much on it
Actually it's pretty much just because of digivices. You don't have to turn your brain off that much, the digivices are the cause of temporary evolutions. Hell even Leomon evolving into Saberleomon is a result of him being bathed in their light.

>>713221976
Already seen several.

>>713222173
Yeah except temporary evolution during battle also happens in World 3 and Survive

>>713220749
>but there are also next to no Digimon that use Penetration who are worth it for attacking either.
Huh? Lilithmon, Gallantmon CM, Ouryumon, Alphamon, Alphamon Ouryuken, Wargreymon, Black Wargreymon, Belphemon BM, Belphemon SM, Rosemon BM, Omnimon Zwart, Plesiomon, Beelzemon BM (HM only), and TyrantKabuterimon, are all worth using and they will all deal at or more than Lucemon SM and ShineGreymon BM.

Non-penetrating Digimon that are worth using are Dianamon, Dynasmon, Susanoomon, Lucemon SM, and ShineGreymon BM. MirageGaogamon and Jesmon if you're cheesing with EVA buffs and invulnerability respectively. The list is that short, and even then Dianamon is mostly bad and Dynasmon is PvP-oriented for the most part. This is only talking about attackers, obviously you use MarineAngemon, Mastemon, Sistermon, and Sakuyamon.
>only on the problems that cause it and the severity of them
But Hard more or less makes it mandatory. Unless you know those very specific Digimon I listed exist and how to counter at least two of their issues with Sistermon (Who you also need to realize is broken) you're going to have an absolutely awful time on Hard because many fights make it mandatory to kill the Digimon in around two or three turns or you will team wipe from them on. Even random no-name hackers like that cunt in the streets with a TyrantKabuterimon and Titamon. The only reason I was able to beat him was Lilithmon being super effective so I could Accel Boost into a one shot. My ShineGreymon BM only did like a third of their health when I was trying it with him and Plesiomon initially. There's also Power Sleuth Junki, another no-name hacker who has a team that can wipe you when their turn comes around.

On Hard mode there absolutely are encounters that force you into using penetrating moves to stand any chance at winning, especially on the Master Cup.
The only time you will ever see non-penetrating be worth it is in the bot matches online because their defense isn't high.

>>713222173
>>713222249
I don't know about world 3 lore, but it's just because of the Tamers and not specifically the digivices usually. The power of friendship is legitimately canon in this franchise, both in many games and anime. Being raised by a human specifically does give them a power boost and easier time evolving over wild Digimon.
It's the source of my favourite Digimon villain's origin even, that he's so pissed off everybody thinks Digimon with Tamers are stronger.

>>713220941
>Lucemon is genuinely the only fun digivolution in the entirety of CS/HM and that's solely because you have to mess around a bit to get him
Lucemon is widely considered by everyone to be the most annoying and convoluted Digivolution that everyone hates to get to the point that it was regularly a complaint that you had to farm train him seemingly at random. You are absolutely an outlier with this opinion. Most people already consider DNA Digivolution a chore to achieve or having to throw Digimon into a farm and wait anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes just to Digivolve like Belphemon for example.

>my boy might not be in the game

>>713211070
>>713212883
A big part of the problem with CS was hard mode being badly tuned to just increase stats way too high on enemy bosses.
It was fun for the first half of the game but it got so overtuned at the endgame it felt like a chore more than an enjoyable challenge, and seemed to railroad you into using one or two specific teams for each fight which goes against the spirit of digimon.

CS isn't the only game that does it, so does HM the further you get to the end. I don't know about the backported HM changes in the CE, but in general it seemed like all they changed with Hard in HM was that enemies had their speed heavily nerfed and were otherwise as dangerous as in CS, especially towards the end. The benefit of HM was that you also had Sistermon who was wildly overpowered on Hard mode by a significant degree compared to how Ulforce was in CS and allowed you to shrug off many issues that would otherwise plague an entire team repeatedly and heal them easily. I imagine that makes CE CS much more viable than it was on Vita/PS4.

>>713222946
Well, one part is likely to happen and that is, having to fight different parts of boss Digimon.

>Normal
>Use my favorite shitmons and have a good time, still too easy

Appealing to popular opinion is stupid. Not only is it an argument that (you) cannot substantiate in any way, it isn't based on any data or information whatsoever. I can just say "no actually the Digimon community sides with my argument" and that has the exact same weight as this post. Why do they dislike it? Do they all dislike it for the same reasons? Are the problems related to Cyber Sleuth,or the system and concept in general? Are these people Digimon fans, monster collecting game fans, monster raising game fans or just new players who only played CS? Does everybody even dislike it it in the first place, or only vocal people online? Nobody knows because there is no consensus or wider community to poll in the first place, you are just asserting your own beliefs and opinions as fact.

>You are absolutely an outlier with this opinion.
I never said I had the popular opinion to begin with, I just said I want this because it's good.

>>713222548
That shit was annoying in CS/HM because stat growths were predetermined and the only variance you'd get is through EV training. Dusk/Dawn didn't have that problem because if you wanted to grind for it, there was nothing stopping you from having a rookie with 999 stats in everything. Stat requirements in those games were a joke.

Because Lucemon requires you to have specific stats trained in specific ways to obtain him, and in CS since there was only 100 ABI instead of 200 you had to very specifically plot out how to get him.

Yes.

Anon, it has to run on consoles too. You'd have an argument if it was open world, because then we could point out that there's no point in having huge maps if they know they can't fill them with meaningful content. This town looks concise and has a fair number of NPC digimon in it. What more do you want? It's not a 2D game that can have an infinite amount of sprites and its not using a pre-rendered map to cover half of the performance cost.

Again. Him calling it infamous is not proof at all, his opinion has no more weight than yours or mine. It is like saying "well the gaming community at large doesn't like that." That's a meaningless statement because there is no gaming community, there's only a bunch of separated individual communities centred around gaming as a hobby. There's no consensus on the games, not even in our little Digimon community here where you have both Worldfags and Storyfags like me. You can't just say "actually everyone agrees with me" and especially not in reply to a post like mine where I just said something subjective like it being the only fun one.

No, but it shows that it was a sentiment of the time period that it was annoying to get it.

We're just gonna be going in circles in an argument and end up arguing semantics at this rate and I get what you mean, my main point is just that it probably wouldn't be well received if they made everything Lucemon-tier because the more it takes to get a Digimon the less people want to get to use it due to the tedium and Lucemon is simply one example. You might want something like it but in my opinion I don't think people would based on comments I have read over the years.

>>713224526

>>713224430

>>713224164
From what I remember when I looked at a comparison of HM for something his dialogue just has a lot of Katakana in it to make him seem like a cool dude and he just mixes English words into it on top of that. He's basically just saying words in a slangy way if I remember what someone said years ago, I don't believe he spouts memes.

>>713224517
>This trend should come back, honestly.
It's used when necessary. Cyber Sleuth for example. The problem with pre-rendered backgrounds is it fucks you when it comes to having real time cutscenes, since now you have to have extra storage dedicated to concise portions of maps only used for said cutscenes OR pre-rendered videos. You also can't take advantage of multiple camera angles during regular play. You can't even have the cam zoom in on NPCs. It's a double-edged sword, just like open world. You use it when needed and do it properly. You don't have it just to have it.

>>713224652
it wont outsell because its a JRPG, casuals dont play that shit

>>713224652
>outsells Pokemon
Its not happening. Even with it being multi platform. We can hope it sells well though.
>like Palworld did
From what I recall, it sold about 15mil last I checked. Game passes not included for obvious reasons.

>>713224796
The digimon looks kino but the kid looks like the type of nerd I used to put into lockers back in the 80s

>>713224880
pokemon is a jrpg

>>713224972
an extremely casual at that

>>713224790
I expected as much. It's why his character is so hated in the localized version, outside of those who ironically love it because he's just memes for the annoying factor.

>>713224796
>>713224906
I blame the pants and shoes. He's wearing those fucking slippers.

>>713224639
Yes, it was a sentiment for some people. But not everyone thinks like that, as evidenced by the fact that world fans would probably call you mean words if you suggested that Digimon World should just have extremely simple digivolution requirements unrelated to stats or training mistakes and standardized gym stuff.

And it might not be well received, but I don't care what the average gamer wants. I've seen and played the things people parade around, it seems common that the average person leans towards more simple gameplay design over anything else. I want Digimon to make good games, not just make money.

>>713225016
>He's wearing those fucking slippers.
crocs

>>713225064
I use crocs as I used slipper when I was 5

>>713225064
Remove the bottom half and he looks at least passable. Crocs look like shit and always have. Weren't they meant to be beach slippers that people somehow forced into being regular throw-on shoes...

>>713225006
Its somehow really casual but has a hardcore pvp scene and their own esports.

>>713224880
That expedition 33 or whatever it was called is apparently super popular, same with Persona 5 and even normalfags talk about Final Fantasy 7.

>>713224887
>Its not happening
I doubt it too, that's why I said miraculously. But it would be funny.

>>713225169
yeah? the gameplay and main questline is just simple as fuck and you go through it like a breeze
casuals dont give a fuck about the pvp scene or esports

Fuuuck I hate how they make a shotamon as the mascot digimon.
Why can't it be a normal plushie bait?

>>713225287
kids dont play with plushies in 2025

Tamers 2 when?

>>713224796
After Shingeki no Kyojin, Kimetsu no Yaiba and Mushoku Tensei... why the fuck are anime still coming out with the generic digital art style? Its 2025

>>713225832
generic? what do you mean?
>digital
m8
it's digimon

>>713225595
never, that season bombed hard

>>713164586
I like that we're getting both veedramon and X-veemon.

>>713164586
Gerbemon is confirmed to be in it. I'm willing to say that even the rat is.

I said it last time and I'll say it again. I don't want Etemon to be le ebin poop ape again.

I want Etemon to be cool. He was suppose to be Digimon's Frieza.

>>713225914
It did pretty damn well actually

>>713226219
But he was the funny monkey asshole fist.

I want Blitzgreymon, Cresgarurumon, and Omegamon Alter S. Simple as.

>>713225914
wat
it's literally the best Digimon season lmao

>>713226363
and to think this was created because of some dude who was dressed up like a monkey in the Shonen Jump magazine

>>713162935 (OP)
>17 minutes of repetitive boss fight
I don't know...
I'm starting to lose interests

>>713226559
this can't be real lmao, Etemon is the best.

>>713226561
Its a JRPG, you should expect 120 hours of repetitive content.
Repetitive isn't a negative btw, repetitive french fries are good.

>>713226586
yeah, google DigiMonkey and you'll see it all

>>713162935 (OP)
XV-mon hitting the Digigym.

>>713226647
No, meaningless repetitive grind is shit.

>>713162935 (OP)
Reminds me of .hack//GU somehow...

Soon.

>>713226219
You can't tell me that you didn't love MetalEtemon vs Puppetmon, anon.

>>713168842
Alright that's new for me

>>713226219
>>I don't want Etemon to be le ebin poop ape again
>Etemon (Chaos)
where did u get that he's a poop ape

>>713225595
Exploring sexuality with your Digimon partner!

>>713218829
Ito only does the designs for the big bad thing. Chars are designed by Yasuda

>>713227210
aw shiet i mixed them up

>>713224164
Technically, the words he's saying were invented for the localization.
However, I don't think a direct translation is intelligible here. He's saying some para-linguistic sounds, random words in mostly English, and some kinda dated meme reference.
If I had to do a direct translation, I'd say you are landing in a weird, non-existent niche between like, Filthy Frank's portrayal of weaboos, a late 2010s, unabashed youtube funnyman cashing a check, and some kind of strange autist making the stomp noises as he walks around like a dinosaur.

Like, I get the cringe of inventing dialogue, but I think it's justified here, because this creature doesn't exist in English.

>>713223468
If NeoDevimon doesn't get in, I hope at least DoneDevimon does.
It has plenty of faults, but Colon didn't screw up on any new digimon designs.

>>713178296
Never hated a character more. He had no idea what he was passing up on.

>>713227658
DoneDevimon, owner of the Dimmsdale Devidome?

>>713228171
