>>1071532 (OP) Is it the same style of game as Cyber Sluts? I'll probably give it a try, if so. Also, I like Sistermon Blanc.

>>1071532 (OP) I only played Rumble Arena and saw a friend playing World 1. Any of the most recent games that make a sorta decent game?

>>1071633 I thought Cyber Sluts was decent for what it was.

>>1071634 Oh I see its for Switch so I may get it. Working and JRPGs are a bad combo for me :(

>>1071636 There's a PC version too, which includes both games and a bunch of extra DLC stuff.

I did some checking, and yes, both Media.Vision and Suzuhito Yasuda are back, complete with screeching harridans angry at the SFW yet erotic girl designs, so all excitement is justified. To commemorate the occasion, I am backporting Yasuda images from the Absolute State of Play bread to here. I was actually concerned about Media.Vision since there was a huge gap between Valkyria Chronicles 4 and this and until Hundred Line was revealed it seemed like they went the way of the dodo.

>>1071628 >Is it the same style of game as Cyber Sluts? Yes., Time Stranger and Cyber Sleuth are both part of the Digimon Story series.

>>1071639 I think the Switch version includes those as well. >>1071651 Cool. Is there a specific release date yet?

>>1071651 Compressing is fun.

>>1071658 I've always wondered how they got away with having that design in the game.

>>1071653 >Is there a specific release date yet? Just 2025 as of now.

>>1071662 >I've always wondered how they got away with having that design in the game. why? it's far far more tame than TLOU2 rating boards need to be dissolved they are a failed experiment no one reads the warnings anyway.

>Favorite digimon Its of Renamon, Kyubimon, Weregarurumon, Gabumon, maybe some others too I dunno can't remember all those digimans I haven't played a digimon game in ages, I want to see Renamon kicking a uber champion digimon ass but I dunno how to

>>1071532 (OP) >>1071532 (OP) I really have to play more Digimon games >Who is your favorite Digimon? Can't say i have favorite but i really like ZeedMillenniummon,Tactimon,Lilithmon,Angewomon,Lucemon,Wargreymon,Omnimon,Mugendramon,Sakuyamon.

>>1071532 (OP) Favorite digimon is either Elecmon or Wizardmon Also I wish they would go back to having just 1 digi partner instead of 3 at a time. The one on one connection was better. DW1 remaster WHEN????

I wish there was a Digimon game that just ripped off Pokemon like everyone says they do anyway. I don't have the patience for virtual pets. When my Digimon dies and I have to re-raise him just to continue with the game, that just kills all my enthusiasm. Plus, like the game wants, I actually do get attached. Then he dies. Then I'm sad and I don't want to replace him with a new guy. I get it's the same spirit or whatever, but it still feels different since he doesn't grow up the same again. And yes, I know there are a couple of Digimon games that are more straight JRPGs, but I want as much exploration as Pokemon, at least (and yes, some of the Virtual Pet style games do have that), and I don't want it to be an absolute grindfest. I haven't played all of them, but the Digimon JRPGs I have played are all absolute grindfests. I really want to like the WonderSwan games. I waited for like 20 years for them to get translated, because they actually tie into the anime and have key plot points, but oh my god, after the first one they become unbearable with how much you need to grind, since the game expects you to Jogress. I know nobody here has played the WonderSwan games, but a bunch of you probably played Digimon World 2, and it's the same system, and it's bullshit. Digimon Adventure on PSP is cool, but it's so linear that it takes all the fun out of it. And I suppose since they're trying to adapt an anime super accurate, that makes sense. So what I want is a game with that sort of gameplay style, but actually a big open world to explore. >Favorite Digimon I always liked Patamon. Maybe that's a lame answer because of course his role in the anime makes him too obvious an answer. But the reason I like Digimon is the characters and story. That's why I lose interest in a lot of the games and anime that take place in alt universes. It's also why my next favorite Digimon is probably Millenniummon. All the autistic lore around him that makes him central and important to the story, even though he only makes a brief cameo in the anime. Then he actually appeared for real in Digimon Adventure Colon, but he had no character or story and was lame. That's the thing about this series. It's cool because the anime is actually good, with stories and characters you actually get attached to. And that works with the theme of virtual pets, since you're supposed to be more attached to them. But then they reboot all the time. So okay, I was attached to Agumon in Adventure, and the same guy reappeared in Adventure 02 and even a couple games. But I'm not attached to the Agumon in Digimon Savers, since that's a different guy. I'm not attached to the world of Digimon World 3 since it has nothing to do with the worlds of the previous two Digimon World games, which barely had anything to do with each other, or with the anime (though I suppose they're technically related, it's just not very important to the story). And this was all epitomized by Millenniummon appearing in Digimon Adventure Colon. He's the series' big multiversal villain, finally appearing for real in the anime, and they hype him up for like 50 episodes, and then... nothing. It's not the same guy as before. It's nothing this time. Fucking lame.

>>1072159 I agree with the grinding thing. I wish JRPGs in general would stop doing that shit.

>>1072159 Looks like the game you want is maybe digimon world 3. That does still have a lot of grinding though.

>>1072211 >I agree with the grinding thing. I wish JRPGs in general would stop doing that shit. Quit running from every enemy you fight or better yet read your enemies patterns as opposed to just simply spamming attacks all the time. There's a time for that but know when to heal and defend.

>>1071862 >Favorite digimon Gatomon/tailmon the first time i ever encountered the token evil teammate trope best girl.

>>1072271 No you don't understand. Many Digimon games have a system called Jogress, where you take two high level digimon and merge them into one baby digimon with a higher max level. And you must do this dozens or hundreds of times to raise max level high enough to evolve into the monsters you want. You start exp from scratch tons of times, so you can't even continue the game without grinding back up to where you were, because after jogressing your guy will be too weak to continue the next dungeon or whatever. It's absolute bullshit. Even if you dont want the cool monsters, you still have to do it a lot unless you're some speedrunesque autist trying to beat the whole game with unevolved monsters, which you're obviously not intended to do. Also, fighting a zillion random encounters when I'm just trying to get from point A to point B is effectively grinding. Good jrpgs are the ones that level you up appropriately with non random encounters. Sure, if you skip those, that's your own fault. But infinite random encounters? Fuck that. Basically grinding.

Time Stranger is set to get some focus at this years Digimon Con. Hopefully we get a look at gameplay.

>>1072389 I agree that it's pretty bullshit A sign the game is made by asians for asians is the insane grind and need for complex spreadsheet type shit just to deal with the enemy difficulty spikes

>>1073685 Why do East Asians like grinding so much? How much of it is cultural and how much is genetic, I wonder?

>>1072159 You may want to try Dawn and Dusk. >>1072389 Until you have a regular cast of Digimon to cycle through, you're not supposed to Digivolve every Digimon at once or focus on only one Digimon.

>>1073700 What are you talking about? The biggest western MMOs are filled with endless grinding worse than even the most egregious Japanese games, not to mention western subgenres like blobbers and dungeon crawlers are filled with grinding

>>1073709 We truly need a western MMO to guide the way when it comes to grinding.

>>1078714 MMOs are dead and replaced with survival games Thank fucking Christ

>>1073700 They have some sort of retarded mentally which dictates that the more time you spend doing something, the more difficult it is and thus the more rewarding it is. Which is fucking dumb. >>1073709 >western blobbers are grindy >when fucking Etrian Odyssey exists >a grinding game wearing the skin of a DRPG where you get take 20 steps before going back to town, resting, and going 10 steps further than the last position you got to >a grinding game where there's no strategy or tactics, only getting your numbers matters, that and getting the correct rock skill/class to beat the boss's scissor attack

>>1078767 >the more time you spend doing something, the more difficult it is They need to get it through their heads that tedium isn't even remotely the same as difficulty.

>>1078721 MMOs are still around and popular, they're just not the immovable force they were in 2006.

>>1073663 Hope they let it be good instead of forcing tranny shit.

Looks like a TCG app is getting announced soon.

Maybe I should try Cyber Sleuth again sometime. I cleared both stories a while back, but couldn't muster the autism to tackle the postgame.

>>1078788 >still around and popular Why? They’re so boring.

.More than 450 Digimon in the new game. Beelstarmon is included. I mention this because I like Beelstarmon.

>>1071532 (OP) Saw the show the other day. Male MC looks RAD, female MC reminds me to Elizabeth for P3 probably cause similar motif

>>1071532 (OP) With digimon beatbreak what changed they started to go for a more edgy looking male mc?

>>1081596 the anime keeps failing to get kids into the franchise, meanwhile the games that have been aimed towards teens and adults have been more successful than old games. it feels like the franchise is just shifting to a slightly older demographic.

>>1081975 If they really wanted the audience the games got, they'd have a yuri FeMC.

>>1082003 Technically that was a result of the Male MC being written first and they didn't change much of the script for the Female MC.

>>1081975 >the anime keeps failing to get kids into the franchise I remember a lot of people gushing about the first four seasons of the anime basically being their "childhood", right up there alongside Yu-Gi-Oh and Sailor Moon, and even preferring it to Pokemon. However all that momentum came to a screeching halt by them not releasing the next series until four years later.

>>1082006 Digimon was definitely a thing back then. Not as popular as pokemon, but it was known by basically everyone. I remember having a few digimon VHSes back then and watching it on TV at times.

>>1082005 A lot of games can be guilty of this. New Vegas was obviously written for a male character in mind then retrofit for a female character, rather than being written for both at the same time. The retrofitting leads to my favorite comedic interaction in the game, where you walk into a brothel and the pimp says something like "Honey, you're too thin, and we have no more slots to begin with", you can reply with "I'M NOT A SLUT, YOU UGLY WHORE"

>>1081975 Digimon World 1 remaster (not remake) WHEN? I will PAY American DOLLARS for it. I work a job, I have a steady and abundant income, please take my money and let me play the damn game already.

>>1082103 >Digimon World 1 remaster (not remake) WHEN? Your best bet is the gog dreamlist thing where people suggest games they want on gog and gog goes and tries to get them. DW1 has like 40k votes on there.

>>1082003 There shouldn't be FeMC

>>1082260 Shut your whore mouth.

>>1082260 Cyber Sluts is a yuri game, anon. What kind of yuri game doesn't have a female MC?

>>1082272 The kind where a male character is turned into a girl.

>>1082006 The gap between the fourth and fifth series was definitely a big issue. The artstyle changed with the fifth series as well. But I'd say another major problem is that starting with the third series, they kept rebooting it every time. >Digimon Adventure 02: Oh, you care about Taichi and Agumon? Well okay, at least they're around in Season 2, even if they aren't the main characters. Takeru and Hikari are still main characters, at least. And it's the same world. You're following up on events from before. >Digimon Tamers: Full reboot. But at least they do a thing where Season 1 and 2 are an anime in this world. So okay, it's like Digimon in the real world. I can get on board with that. Also, it's just really well made. >Digimon Frontier: Just another reboot. No explanation. No connections to the previous series. Some monster designs are re-used, but any toy company worth their salt should know that the kids watching the cartoons like the characters, not just the designs. That's why they couldn't just kill Optimus Prime, even if Ultra Magnus and Rodimus Prime were pretty much the same thing. >And to really rub salt in the wound, in Season 4 the kids don't even have Digimon partners, they turn into Digimon. To a little kid, this feels like a big difference, even though actually I watched it again later and it's not actually a big difference. But the point remains that this is a new set of characters in a new world. They kept my attention and earned my care again with Digimon Tamers, but they weren't able to do it again with Digimon Frontier. Well, it helps that Digimon Tamers is just excellently written, much moreso than Frontier. Frontier is alright, but not that great. >Digimon Savers: Four year gap before this season even came out. It's another full reboot. The artstyle is different. But oh, Agumon is the main Digimon again. Except it's not the same Agumon, so who gives a shit? Actually this series gets pretty good eventually, but the first bunch of episodes are pretty boring. But all of these series pick up once they get a couple of arcs in. >Digimon Xros Wars: Clearly aimed at a much younger audience. Quite boring, yet has more episodes than any other series (unless you count Adventure and Adventure 02 as the same thing). The last couple of episodes are very cool, but I don't know if I'd say it's worth sitting through like 75 episodes before that. I think the only reason people care about this is because of those episodes crossing over the previous series, but otherwise everything is very unrelated. It's just another reboot. With each reboot they lose fans, because there's nothing holding the old fans in place. But then again... >Digimon Adventure Tri: Absolute garbage. Presumably done for nostalgia purposes, it has the characters and the world and it follows up on the plot, but it doesn't do anything that made the original series enjoyable. Look, this is a series about giant monsters fighting each other. But this entry in the series thought the whole appeal was waifus. Okay, yeah, Digimon Adventure has top-tier waifus, but this focused on a new waifu. And she wasn't even a loli. Digimon Adventure was also cool because of deep lore that was built up effectively over a very tightly structured series. Here we get very little of that. Instead of explaining a cool story, every character is just focused on telling the new girl how awesome she is all the time. Fucking garbage. At least after Tri they did one more Digimon Adventure movie, Last Evolution, and that was a bit better. But then they did... >Digimon Adventure:: Reboot with the original cast. But it's not the original cast. They're based on them but they're new characters. So they're going for nostalgia, but anyone nostalgic for the original would just be reminded of how much better the original was. They hint for like 50 episodes about Millenniummon, the cool big bad of the video games, mentioned in the anime but never really delved into before, but then they don't do anything with him. He's the main villain and he doesn't do jack shit. He's less developed than Devimon or Etemon. He's less developed than Mugendramon was in the original series. They don't even mention that he sort of is Mugendramon, or that he sort of is Devimon. This was the time for peak multiverse autism, since that's what Millenniummon did in the games. But nope. Instead it's Digimon Adventure but for a younger audience, as if the original wasn't already for 8 year olds. And if it's for a younger audience, then why is it banking on nostalgia for a series that came out 20 years earlier? The younger audience won't care. I watched the first few episodes of Appmon and got bored. Frontier and Savers weren't as good as Adventure or Adventure 02 or Tamers, but they were alright. But Xros Wars, Tri, and Adventure: all sucked. So when Appmon didn't hook me right away, I got bored and forgot to keep watching. And I know there's one called Ghost Game. I can't be bothered. If Appmon or Ghost Game are actually good, let me know, but I doubt it. I just want something that's like Adventure or Tamers again. I want deep lore and well developed characters and cool giant monster fights. This shouldn't be hard for anime to do. This is what anime was all about to me when I was a kid. But now anime is just waifus, and I don't care, because I know Mai from Digimon Adventure Tri isn't gonna show her pussy on screen. So just give me some cool stories and awesome monster fights, damnit. >>1082277 If he's turned into a girl, then she's a girl now. Being a girl isn't in your mind, like SJWs say, it's in your vagina.

>>1082260 >Write game like the male MC is the main focus, having the girls flirt and drop comments on how cute other girls are. >Include a female MC and suddenly you're also appealing to the yuri crowd with no text changes needed apart from a different model. >Somehow this is too difficult for Persona to do since 3. Cyber Sluts is how you unironically appeal to both camps while delivering a solid product.

>>1082482 Yuritards deserve nothing

>>1082486 Hello, Dyke Cuck!

>>1082486 Yurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

>>1082487 >>1082489 >>1082486 Pic related is the only good Yuri

>>1082509 MY LIFE FOR MASTER YURI

>>1082268 No, hot girls are made for cock and tentacles only

>>1082475 >If Appmon or Ghost Game are actually good, let me know, but I doubt it. I watched a handful of episodes of Ghost Game and they were fine. The only reason I didn't continue watching is that I don't really like monster of the week shows unless there's something more to it. It's the sort of show you'd watch with your kid and I don't have one. >>1082486 Pic related is my response to you. Digimon is a yuri franchise now. Deal with it.

>>1082475 the FeMC for the Appmon game is cute. No idea if the game is any good or if there's any yuri in it.

>>1082475 I liked ghost game quite a bit but it didn't really stick the landing. That also doesn't really matter though because for the most part its completely episodic. Its interesting to see digimon killing people though. I didn't like appmon. Would not recommend unless you've watched everything else.

>>1082475 >Digimon Tamers...it's just really well made Of course, the lead writer for the series was also the same guy who wrote Serial Experiments Lain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiaki_J._Konaka >Digimon Frontier I refuse to watch this season because all the main character designs look like dogshit. Give me giant dinosaurs and beastfolk, not freakishly-tall humans clad in metal armor. >>1082724 >digimon killing people Color me intrigued. Tell me, is this 'Digimon Survive'-type killing, or more like Disney-style 'off-screen implied death'-type killing?

>>1082782 I didn't know there several of these. He looks 10x more bara homosexual in that one.

>>1082782 You're absolutely correct in your taste, and that's a interesting connection

The twist for the female partner is that she's Junomon, right? Her partner is Aegiomon, and we already had disgusting coffee lady as Alphamon in the last game. Is it too obvious? I think it is.

>>1082782 >I refuse to watch this season because all the main character designs look like dogshit. Give me giant dinosaurs and beastfolk, not freakishly-tall humans clad in metal armor. You perfectly put into words the whole reason why I stopped watching the show after the 1st episode.
