This is a love note to one of the greatest RPGs of our time: Digimon World on the PS1

This is a love note to one of the greatest RPGs of our time: Digimon World on the PS1.

It's the same game with a new graphics engine, new story, and sexy anime girls thrown in for good measure.

It has an extremely indepth breeding and evolution system that Pokemon can only dream about.

The battle system is the perfect blend of artifical intelligiance and user input, with just the right amount of interaction with your partners. (not to mention you get two of them.)

It's easily the best JRPG released in the last decade.

>not to mention you get two of them
It's the flaw though.

Plain wrong.

It costs far too much. GameStop and Amazon had a $9.99 sale for Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth. Why would anyone buy this game?

It's completely different genre to Cyber Sleuth. Not even competing for quality because they arte so different.

>playing Digimon World
>Andromon with DG dimension and two fast atacks that stunned
>do that fight with Garurumon that yout aren't allowed to give orders
>Andromon keep trying to do DG dimension until his mp is completely out

I can see the benefits.

Should I buy?

I'd say it's pretty good if you liked Digimon World on the PS1.

Re:digitize was utter shit and miles away from what Digimon World was about.
Next Order is certainly not perfect on that regard (too linear, shitty story with no interaction possible at all...), but is a step in the good direction.

I'd rather they make an almost 1:1 remake of the first with a 3D world and more Digimon. The worlds in Re:Digitize and Next Order feel more like a damned theme park. Not to mention the railroaded stories.

I never played Re:digitize but i'm a huge fan of DW1 and this game is perfect to me.

I managed to get pretty far into the Infinite Cauldron, even managed to recruit all the digimon so far into it, until I got to the Samudramon and Kuzuhamon fight, and they hit so fucking hard, like 20K

Am I doing something wrong here

is DNA digivolving worth it? You can use it to get digimon otherwise exclusive to ExE but it desyncs your digimon (one goes down to Ultimate) and you can't use ExE, which I assume also counts for mercy ExE

But I really want Gallantmon Crimson Mode

REdigitize decode is better than next order

Not in a million year

It has more digimon, proper balancing, real online battles, longer story, more sidequests, story that ties into the x-antibody movie

Yes it fucking is.

>Half the roster is literately who mons
>Better
When will this meme end?

>Im a stupid casual that only know mons from the anime
>I prefer recolors

What meme? Are you ok?

Oh also you can dress up your digimon and show them online

I love literally who mons though

It's decent, but it's still very deeply flawed. It just has a hundred small design choices that all stack up. Nothing about it is truly horrible on it's own, but a lot of things are nuisances that you have to learn to work around.

Stuff like material trade ins are a pain because you can't see how much of a certain material you have, you can't do more than 1 transaction at once so it takes forever, you can't trade materials in for lower value ones, you can only trade them in on certain days, and you can't even trade in certain types of material at all.

The thing is that the game does get better the more you play it because of upgrades to your character and city. The first 8 hours I had in this I completely hated it, because a lot of things that shouldn't be locked away as an upgrade aren't available, but things that should very obviously be buyable upgrades don't exist.

I have to level up and upgrade just so my digimon can even use block in battle, but a sprint upgrade to make my character faster isn't an option.

I'm 55 hours in, I've recruited everyone, and even though I do like the game, it's not great. It's the only one of it's kind and I'm enjoying it because it's so unique, but god damn it needed to be more fluid than it is.

veemon tells you how much material you have

You can still use ExE after dna digivolving.

No, it's not worth it. When that one digimon goes down a level on paper it says its age goes down too, but in actuality its biological years remain the same, so it will die early and extra weak, essentially screwing up future generations.

In NG+ though you can get your dojo to lvl 3, at which point the downside of dna digivolving is removed. Digimon can also live near indefinitely once you hit NG+ so that's the best time to DNA digivolve.

How's Lilithmon in this game?

I know he does, but not while I'm trading in materials. I don't have an active counter of how much I'm trading in so I have to keep track in my head. It shouldn't do that, it should tell you have much you have before and after trading it in.

oh sorry i see what you mean

I already got my Dojo to 3 which I think Paildramon said I can use a digimon from the town instead but I can't seem to 'pick and choose'. I had BanchoLeomon and Darkdramon for example, with BanchoLeomon recruited to town, but evolving my Darkdramon always used my Bancholeomon instead of the one in town.

Is it on PC though? I don't have any weeb consoles to play it on

I was going to buy it at launch but after seeing how its basically a vita game i'm going to wait until its $20-$30 by the end of the year.

I paid full price for Cyber Sluts and although i loved it that shit got mad cheap quick.

Been playing Vita version because no ps4. This game really hits me hard in the nostalgia but does so much different. It's a great experience. Does anyone know if a version with the english dubbing injected to vita exists?

Isn't the vita version like baby mode? Or did someone dump the update?

I'm not sure, what's the difference? I'm playing alongside some friends and the game is pretty much identical aside from the slowdown the vita version gets.

Balancing, evolution requirements and more digimons.
The vita version was piss easy. You could finish the main story with gen 1 digimons if you wanted to as long as you ignored the fucking meteromons
The 1.05 patch is supposed to fix this

SHIT, ok now i'm paranoid. Gonna have to find this update because the game felt really easy where my cousin was telling me he was having trouble with Red Veggiemon of all things.

Easy mode was Japanese Normal.

Unless you artificially want the challenge though, there's no reason to go normal over easy because all it does is half the stats you gain from training and winning fights. The fights themselves stay the same. So all it really does is make getting certain digimon harder.

Good luck going through the Agumon->Greymon-MetalGreymon->Wargreymon line on normal.

protip you can change difficulties by talking to Punimon

It's fun to think back how I used to believe Digimon World 1 was obscure at it's time, only to learn later it sold fucking 1,5 million copies.

That said, I'm cautiously interested about this new game. Like user here I'm waiting for the price to go down a bit first, though.

I'm pretty sure all the PS1 digimon worlds got greatest hits status

Hmmm, upon looking up this update all I'm seeing is a 1.2 update and as far as Agumon lines go I do currently have Metal Greymon. Man, what I'd give for a Nintendo Switch release.

It's just harder to reach the caps on normal.

Ulforceveedramon requires 48000 HP for example which is pretty ridiculous early on

I don't think there's a dump of it. Maybe it requires a higher firmware version.

Well, in the vita version not getting the 'anime canon' evolution line without locking it is the hard part.

i am suddenly interested in the digimon franchise after viewing your post

even with locking you still have to fulfill enough key points

getting the high stats for certain digimon is hard when you only get like...200 HP per training instead of 700.

Well, guess I'll go back to Re digitize until someone dumps the update or by some miracle the Switch gets the game too. I wanna experience the definitive difficulty and have the right game experience with this one, not an easy mode.

there's lots of tittymon where have you been

You should skip re digitize too. We are getting Decode at the end of the year.

Lilithmon is the demon lord off lust.
She s evil and you must not succumb to her seduction.

Wait, what? Sauce me m8

Operation Decoded - Digimon Games Fantranslations
main story: 100%
menues: 60%
subquests: 20%

Oh.. yeah but we all know how slow they can be even when at 100%. I'm hopeful though.

I'd rather wait because re digitize was incredibly boring and I hope decodedI know it won't fixes this.
N0 is much better but >no update and >no ps4 kind of suck.
