      Because they cloned the okay parts, tried to improve them marginally, then made the rest as shit as possible and called it a day.
      DW1 was fun because of the exploration and mystery and atmosphere.
      To follow up on DW1 you'd need to take a great art style with dark ambience as much as bright ambience and bring back DW1 exploration exactly. Only when you created an interesting and mysterious world with arcane events and conditions you can start touching the rest, like making training and evolution an even more interesting and mysterious process (and less prone to failure perhaps), rather than making it a "grind until you get what you want" mechanic.

      Pic related. This cheap game had an okay atmosphere on the NDS, this would have been enough to pull off a decent DW continuation at the time. Instead we got increasingly more colorful pokemon rip-offs going heavy on the "digital world" part, which was obviously bound to lose them interest.

          I think Re:Digitize was quite okay. In fact, I do agree that somehow the exploration was a downgrade from DW1 but otherwise it was fairly enjoyable and did capture some of the magic of the original.

          Or maybe Digimon Survive was just so barren that any other Digimon title compared favorably...

              I agree. Also, when you near the endgame and have a buff digimon and almost infinite money, it seems like you run out of things to do. There were a couple of occasions where I was just biding my time until my boi evolved. I think it is a solvable issue but might require some thought. Not every game can boast solid replayability (Pokemon can but they've also not been implementing Battle Tower for decades).

            Re:Digitize was part of the "X" line. There are basically two branches of Bandai's Digimon lore, the "X" line and the "non-X" line. X, obviously, involves X-Antibodies, and there's always a specific lore tied to that, and that lore doesn't quite mesh with the original Digimon World's. Bandai's always been very clear about keeping the "normal" branch and the "X" branch distinct from one another. It's why Gaioumon is Gaioumon. Gaioumon was originally supposed to be BlackWarGreymon X-Antibody, but the people in charge liked it so much that they decided they didn't want it to be pigeonholed into the X side of things, they wanted it to be a "universal" mon.

              Not exactly. X and regular mons cross over fairly often especially if the Mon isn't an X Mon but an X carrier then you have Metal Greymon and Weregarurumon's alterous and Sagittarius modes which use elements of their X. As for the lore, it's basically related to the destruction of the old digital world rather than being explicitly two different sets of lore. Think of it more like the future.

                No, it doesn't. The X-Antibody only exists in worlds in which Project Ark occurred. MetalGreymon Alterous Mode has traits in common with MetalGreymon X-Antibody, but these are NOT one and the same. There are several main branches of Digimon lore, but Project Ark isn't all-encompassing. Many games and stories don't feature X-Antibodies at all. The X-Antibody can only exist in worlds in which Project Ark occurred.

                Additionally, Alterous Mode and Sagittarius Mode continue a minor trend in which Digimon sometimes obtain adaptations that reflect their X-Antibody forms in the absence of the X-Program. The Agumon subspecies introduced in 2006 with Savers, for instance, is classified as a Dinosaur-type rather than a Reptile-type as well as the Baby Burner technique, both of which are are derived from the X-Antibody variant of Agumon.

                Alphamon doesn't have the X-Antibody in worlds in which the X-Program doesn't exist. The X-Antibody's an antibody. Antibodies can only be formed in response to an invasive disease. It's nonsense for an antibody to form against a disease that doesn't exist, so the X-Antibody has no meanings in worlds without the X-Program.

                In worlds in which Project Ark occurred, Alphamon is a carrier of the X-Antibody which grants it immunity to the X-Program. In worlds where Project Ark didn't occur, there is no such thing as an X-Program meaning there's no such thing as an X-Antibody, so Alphamon exists independently of it.

                Anonymous

                This is also why in stories in which the X-Program doesn't exist, Alphamon and the vanilla Omegamon are portrayed as equals. Originally, Alphamon being a carrier of the X-Antibody meant that it was stronger than Omegamon which wasn't. Omegamon only became Alphamon's equal when it took on the X-Antibody as well. This is reflected in how Omegamon's Ultimate Force, the Omega inForce, is only active in Omegamon X, while Alphamon's Alpha inForce is present by default. But in stories without X-Antibodies, it's inconvenient for there to be a divide between Alphamon and Omegamon, so powerlevels are adjust accordingly.

                tl;dr:
                >In worlds with X-Antibodies: Alphamon = Omegamon X > Omegamon
                >In worlds without X-Antibodies: Alphamon = Omegamon

                Dude, it's a natural carrier.
                It's an intrinsic part of its own lore.
                I'd also like to add that project Ark and the X-program didn't exist in the ReArise universe yet X antibody mon do.

                In ReArise, the X-Antibody is instead a countermeasure against XSpirals. Different purpose but it still, you know, has one.

                But in general, you will never see or hear the term "X-Antibody" in any setting in which it isn't relevant. In Cyber Sleuth, despite there being multiple "natural carriers", it's all completely irrelevant. Same with -next 0rder-. This is why even though Alphamon is stronger than Omegamon in Chronicle, there's no meaningful distinction between their powerlevels outside of things related to that.

                Yeah there is, the Alpha inforce. Even if you were to ignore the X antibody it has it would still have that ability while the Omega in force is exclusive to Omega X.
                Speaking of forces Ulforce Veedramon is stronger as well due to its namesake the Ulforce.

                The Alpha inForce never comes up in things in which the X-Antibody isn't explicitly present. Again, Alphamon will generally always be roughly equal to Omegamon. If there's no Omegamon X-Antibody due to the absence of the X-Program, then either Alphamon's power is diminished or Omegamon's power is raised to compensate. There are more things in which Omegamon X is absent than things in which it's present, while the inverse is true for Alphamon. If there's no such thing as Omegamon X within a given medium, then Alphamon isn't going to totally overwhelm vanilla Omegamon.

                Hell, vanilla Omegamon arbitrary bequeaths the Omega inForce to OmegaShoutmon in Xros Wars.

                That's false you've already discounted Cyber Sleuth as a game that has the X antibody yet it's mentioned in the entry for Alpha
                >A member of the Royal Knights. Despite being a knight, this Digimon is a counter to them, and normally it does not show itself. With its blue mantle, it is called the Aloof Hermit and occupies the Empty Seat in the Royal Knights. It possesses the ultimate ability called Alpha inForce which instantly replays what happened in battle. Its special moves are Excalibur Gradalpha that draws light from a magic circle, piercing the enemy and Soul Digitalization where it creates a huge magic circle to summon a mythic monster.
                This is what I mean, you're assuming lore doesn't exist because it isn't relevant to the story.
                >Hell, vanilla Omegamon arbitrary bequeaths the Omega inForce to OmegaShoutmon in Xros Wars.
                That's because these Force abilities are independent to the antibody.
                Omegamon has the ability but can't access it itself without the antibody much like how the Guilmon line has the power of the digital hazard but without the antibody it can't access it without becoming Megidramon or Chaos Dukemon in the case of Dukemon becoming unbalanced.

                The profiles are copy-pasted word for word from the Digimon Reference Book, but Alphamon doesn't use the Alpha inForce in the story nor in gameplay. Alphamon is not explicitly superior to Omegamon in things in which Omegamon X does not exist. Except in gameplay I guess, but Omegamon being a shitter in gameplay is basically an inevitability by this point. I can't remember the last time WarGreymon wasn't better.

                I mean outside of gameplay. I somehow get the feeling that when the devs balanced these games, they didn't go out of their way to make Omegamon shittier than most other Ultimates, it's just something that kinda happens over and over again. I don't think that means that Omegamon is shitter than WarGreymon in terms of lore.

                That's just opportunity. It speaks nothing of powerlevels, it just means Omegamon wasn't physically present. It had no idea where LordKnightmon even was. That doesn't mean Alphamon is more powerful than Omegamon, nor is it ever portrayed as such in Cyber Sleuth.

                I get the feeling that you just REALLY desperately want parity across all media and stories so much that you'll stubbornly cling to your silly notions. Contrary to what you seem to believe, the majority of writers for Digimon stories don't actually adhere to the central Bandai canon and even the Digimon Reference Book itself contradicts itself frequently between profiles. You want the X-Antibody to exist across all Digital Worlds, but you also accept that the X-Program and Project Ark doesn't exist across all Digital Worlds.

                The X antibody exists in all worlds through natural carriers who have it by random chance like Alphamon who we know is a prototype digimon by the interface on its head like the others in the Dorumon and Ryudamon line. Unless you're you're saying that program X predates most digimon.

        I never got to play Next Order, but I did play Re:Digitize and I think one of the biggest problems mechanically is unironically the introduction of megas. It destroyed the game balance.

        In DW, you can explore most of File Island with a champion level. The game is balanced in a way that a champion is "good enough" for all but the most challenging content, and it works because it's the highest level that's guaranteed to the player. If you're well equipped with items and techniques you can even do with a champion level for those harder fights. Adding megas and trying to balance for them meant you spent more time training and raising and less time exploring. Ultimates were no longer something special, a reward for good care that you only needed for the absolute peak of the game. Instead you had to get ultimates, and you had to get megas, too. It dragged down everything and it's no wonder exploration suffered in the sequels.

        I understand that we can't exactly go back to a time before megas, but maybe we should go back to the DW1 approach where megas exist but they're treated as ultimates that are harder to obtain.

            Not just that, but the Ultimate level is pretty badly fricked due to the dramatic powerlevel discrepancies between individual species. Usually it's not that big of a deal in video games, like Dynasmon isn't particularly superior to other Ultimate Digimon despite being a Royal Knight. But when you get into shit like Omegamon which is a fusion of two Ultimates, or Ultimates that evolve from other Ultimates, shit gets bad.

            Imperialdramon is the biggest and most prominent example of this. First you have Dragon Mode. Then you have Fighter Mode which is 3x stronger than Dragon Mode. And then you have Paladin Mode which is even stronger still. And they're all the same level.

                A group of kids getting partners and going into an adventure is basically Adventure premise and the core of the next seasons.
                The original premise of Digimon was more like Yu-Gi-Oh!; with tamers fighting other tamers with their little kaijus in cybernetic arenas. Read C'mon Digimon for what a season based on that could have been.

                A key element of Perfect-level Digimon back then was that they tended be varying degrees of "unnatural". For all intents and purposes, Adults were the "natural" end of a Digimon's life cycle, while Perfect was composed of "forced" enhancements or bizarre mutants. The general pattern the original Digital Monster line where up to Adult things were much more "natural" but then things get kinda weird with the Perfects; each V-pet had three Perfects and at least one was always a cyborg, one was a small mutant-like thing and one was a strange mysterious lifeform that no one really understood. Sometimes they blurred the line a bit like with Giromon and Nanomon, and you also had the Adult-level Centalmon that didn't look remotely natural in any way, but they kinda sorta tried to keep to this pattern.

                When the Pendulum series introduced the Ultimate level, things started changing significantly. The Perfect level stopped being composed of just cyborgs and freaks, and instead you started seeing mons that were much more in line with how the Adult level was originally treated like Triceramon. The Ultimate level itself was generally a lot less "gross" or "weird" than the Perfect level ever was, instead being more about hard refinement. I think this concept is best exemplified by 2000's HiAndromon. As opposed the to clearly unfinished prototype Andromon, HiAndromon is much more refined and clean. The Ultimate level is what you get when you iron out the flaws of the Perfect level, hence why very few Ultimate-level Cyborg Digimon ever have the grunginess of Perfect-level Cyborgs.

      Honestly the digital aspect of the Digimon franchise is worthless. The monsters are just cool. The only reason they are "digital" was because the original v-pets were literally electronic monsters and the franchise grew from there. The only thing that has stayed consistent with the series seems to be that Digimon live in another world/dimension/internet and humans interact with them.

          Cyber Sleuth is part of a series of games called Digimon Story. Ever seen the games "Digimon World DS" or "Digimon World Dawn/Dusk"? Those are actually Digimon Story games, they were just localized as "World" games for some inane reason.
          The point is, the game being produced right now is a new entry in the Digimon Story series, but it has explicitly been confirmed to NOT take place in the Cyber Sleuth universe. What we know is that this new game will be set 50/50 in the human world and the digital world, and that the main actors are the Olympos XII (just like in Cyber Sleuth the main actors were the Royal Knights).

            People always make excuses for the World games, but I think it's time to accept two things: 1) The success of a game franchise is largely dependent on how many normalgays play it, not how many core fans.

    I don't understand the outrage against this. People complaining it's a visual novel and they were "tricked" into buying it. Are they moronic? If you looked into it for 5 seconds you could see it was a visual novel with occasional SRPG elements. Like Persona is a Visual Novel with minor dungeo crawler elements.

        I quickly checked three different trailers and two of them only show like 5 seconds of the SRPG portions, and the one that focus the most of it is literally called "gameplay trailer" and shows less than a minute of it.

        Ghost game is average compared to other Digimon stories. I honestly think survive story is really good and they should start turning such concepts into an anime instead of VNs because people hate reading and I'm afraid such a story won't be available for a wider audience.
        I feel like the team behind Digimon is almost getting it. They just aren't putting their best ideas in the right place yet.
        I'm looking forward to the next story game. If they just have a higher budget and make the places/ dungeons more interesting and creative it will be amazing.

              I'd argue that what Digitamamon did is very different from literally scarfing a person down your mouth and showing their arm hanging out through their teeth. Plus everyone always ends up okay in the end.

              And Kamen Rider isn't what it used to be. I remember when they actually showed corpses. That's not really a thing anymore.

                See, as Kamen Rider became more lucrative in terms of toy sales, they became more and more incentivized to give into the soccer moms' demands. Toei absolutely does not want to return to the Hibiki/Kabuto era. Ever since the show became more and more kid-friendly, the toy sales shot up, OOO sold better than ever and things only improved from there.

                And the problem is that's kinda what Digimon wants to be. So you see the issue. The trade-off of course is that video games don't really tend to be super lucrative when aimed at that age rating these days, hence why you don't see as many licensed kids' games anymore, so Bandai instead tries to market the games towards older fans. But if older fans could be satiated by something like that, there wouldn't be people constantly clamoring for an adaptation of Cyber Sleuth or Survive. It's all or nothing for some people.

They don't need to reboot shit, they just need to actually put some effort into the series and give it a serious direction for once instead of throwing out several sloppily-done ideas, getting middling sales, then going 'oh I guess nobody wants Digimon.' before leaving it to rot. Doing that teenage IP reboot would just be in the same vein.

    Why is there so much stupid repetitive shit
    >The sewer segment where you repeatedly get surprised by the fake partners that are actually seadramon and have to repeat this four times
    >The ultimate evolutions all have the exact same format and are just shoehorned in wherever
    >Evolutions are treated as non-canon past the moment they happen
    >Have to go talk to everyone to progress the plot and they all say nearly the same thing every time
    I am having a good enough time to want to keep going, but it's starting to drag.
    I just beat Piedmon, so I'm hoping it will get less repetitive from here.

      That fricker one shots my ultimate 50+ plus digimons hard. Well to be fair I didn't feed or gave my digimon any defense equipment. I only beat the fricker after debuffing him and surrounding him

        Are you on hard? I beat him on normal with low level 30s, but barely scraped by. Ended up having Weregarurumon one-shot him, but only on my second attempt, since he missed his attack on my first try then got one-shot between the counter and follow up attack. Some of my guys got killed early by the skullgreymon launching mortars across the map before I evolved, so I couldn't finish him off myself.

          It was hard and the fricker one shot the back up. It doesn't help he has speed charge and x heal to tag team with skullgreymon if you dont kill it fast enough

            Cyber Sleuths was alright, I liked the roster but it was obviously a VN, the digimon need to be the primal focus, I like the bawds in the game though. The cop was hottest.
            Anyways, if I wanted to read a book I'd read a book. So in essence: not a game.
            My favorites were digimon world ds and dusk/dawn
            The problem is all the games have problems that make them subpar games, but the substance behind the idea: digimon, is good.

            Sounds like you just want it to be pokemon but with digimon.

            Actually I don't, I hate all nupokemon
            I want it to be a perfect amalgam

            Come back when you have a better laid out plan. Like how do the battles work? Or evolution for that matter.

            Well I'm running solo, I don't want my ego to consume the whole thing
            My top three games are Skyrim, Minecraft, and Monster Hunter. I think that most digimon games suffer from being too Japanese. Funny I know, but true none the less.
            I like the party mechanism with three main digimon and three support, but I also want an RTS and ffw auto play option so grinding is simple and passive but progression is longer and more methodical.
            But I don't want it to be like world championship, holy frick

    The main reason the X-Antibody doesn't appear in things is because it brings way too much baggage. Frontier didn't need it, Savers didn't need it, Cyber Sleuth didn't need it, Colon didn't need it, Next Order didn't need it, Ghost Game didn't need it and Survive didn't need it. It's just a massive pain in the ass and no one wants to deal with it. Plus, X Digimon tend to be significantly less popular than vanilla Digimon anyway so that's even less incentive. Seriously, Omega X only has a fraction of the popularity of the original Omega so it doesn't benefit anyone to have Omega X overshadow the original.

    Honestly might just be me, but I'd like another game similar to Digimon World 3 but better. Give me a starter digimon/pack of them, but allow me to actually get others as well if I want so I am not just stuck with the same 1/2/3 of them for all eternity. Give me more of that early 00s MMO feel for the story with a lot more shit you can equip on your digimon too.

    Just give me Digimon World 3 but better and with less backtracking and it'd be 10/10 for me.

      It wasn't entirely Pokemon's fault. Digimon could have had modest success in the west even in spite of Pokemon. The problem is that the franchise's international distribution as a whole was extremely poorly managed. In spite of the exceptional popularity of Digimon Adventure in the west at the time, they failed to capitalize it in any meaningful way.

    QUESTION about hackers memory (beat the first cyber slueth already)

    up to chapter 11 and there have been a couple of huge difficulty spikes at random bosses, like a domination arena where you got put to sleep.

    I have ultimates and mega's, most of them with good ABI to even be allowed to evolve. Farm is set up alright, I use type matchups where I can. But there are some randomly really hard spots in the game - is this just expected?

    Also it feels like the story is starting to drag on, and there are still 7 or so chapters to go. Do things change up a bit after chapter 10/11?

    • 2 years ago

      Yeah, the game throws a couple of cheap tricks at you from time to time. I would suggesting investing in a Hisaryumon now for the near future where you fight Arcadiamon Ultimate.
      Evolve your mons as you as you can. The Tokyo Metropolitan Office is a great place to level if you need the exp. Also, keep an eye out for any moves with ''Defence-penetrating'' effects. They make the game a lot easier.
      As for the story, I'm afraid there's not much change to the structure. Eirika gets a trippy cutscene moment. The tone of the game also becomes a bit bleaker, with half of Team Hudie being absent for a good few chapters.

          I assumed that having a specific Digimon as a consistent "bro" was for the sake of giving them an actual personality and voice. If you hire Sakamoto to voice your partner, you're not gonna really have many possible routes to choose from.

            I think the TCG localization department is still under the impression they need to remove any overly Japanese terms, so long as it's not completely changing a mons's name, so that overseas audiences won't be confused.
            As if players of the game aren't either TCG autists who don't pay attention to card names, or long-time fans who know what these terms are by virtue of being otaku. But that's just how suits operate.

      That's been true for a lot of monsters in digimon for a long time. They'll kinda develop a "main" line and then in some circumstances it's possible to diverge. Usually the split makes sense (agumon to tyrannomon for example), but sometimes it's a bit wonky. I don't mind unless it's something really drastic, but seeing devimon and monzaemon in there, I really have no idea what connection it would have to any of the others. I think those might have been intentional because I believe you need to make a strong digimon but also be an butthole to it to get those evolutions.

      I am always skeptical of Digimon releases. Even Cyber Sleuth, despite its general good quality, is a bit half-assed in places. Cyber Sleuth is actually good though.

      I'm on the fence about this one. On one hand, I don't mind playing a VN if the story is good, but people here are saying it isn't, and what's left is sparse and tacked on tactical gameplay. Might wait for this one to go on sale.

                There wassome nuance but he was still a giant wiener. He's the son of stereotypically shitty Asian parents with extremely high expectations and thought the only way for them to love him was to try to force himself to be better and a leader. Literally every single thing he says to Lopmon is projection. Lopmon Was his partner because he has a much more popular brother too ancd its evolution Andiramon is a servant to the 4 Holy Beasts, not a leader. But he also put the expectations on himself partly because he wanted everyone to survive and could relate to Kaito's issues so he wasn't all bad.
