Decided to replay the demo on hard to see how it differs and I'm pleasantly surprised. I was expecting something similar to CS/HM where the only difference between difficulties is on hard all the enemies get a Stat boost, mostly to HP which just makes the Boss fights a grind. In TS there is an actual behavior change in the AI on hard, it's effectively more aggressive, it'll take advantage of type advantages, uses special attacks more often and uses status effects to it's benefit.

Oh I went in directly on hard. Didn't think to cross check with normal mode.

Also, I wonder how the even higher difficulties are gonna fare. Oh and hopefully it won't devolve to penetration spam anymore

I'm curious if those are just locked for the demo or if you'll have to unlock those difficulties.

I assume just locked for the demo. Or possibly an unlock at certain story breakpoints.

The worst would be unlocked after beating the game
 
That first level gave me a SMT Nocturne kind of mood.

I liked it.
 
First impressions of the full release: Pretty fun so far, got up toWhen coo evolves into aegiomon and the fight after so far, but have to go to bed because work, sadly.
 
Time Stranger immediately throws paid for DLC in your face as soon as you leave the second dungeon. 2 hours in and you can pay for dungeons designed to reduce your grind. When you open the outfit menu 8 of the 10 options are locked behind a pay wall (you can buy others for ingame money). Marketing for Tekken, Tales of Arisa and others all over the outfits.

And this is a £50 game at launch. Price hike and day 1 DLC.
 
This is probably just a me-problem, but one thing that kept bugging me was the mo-capped animation.

I know it's the industry standard nowadays, but it just looks unnatural when pared with the cel-shaded, anime art-style.
 
First episode of the new anime is out. My thoughts: Not as bad as I thought. I wasn't convinced by Ghost Story or whatever it was called after watching the first 2 episodes (is it worth checking out?), but this one's first episode is quite strong. Is set in the near-future (2050), where smartphones were replaced by totally-not Digieggs that have the same function and are used for everything. There are strong hints that this is a dystopian world, with ruined buildings, flooded neighbourhoods, a secluded society isolated from the rest (shaped like an egg, kek), an older cast, Digimons now being literal predatory monsters who harm people, the whole thing. There are 90s-style hackers who fight in the 'net directly with their Digimons, which reminds me of the Cybersleuth games. The main protagonist initially appears to be a moody emo, but he's okay; it's too early to tell, although for good or bad, it seems music will play an important role in the plot.


Now, the main stinker: The new Digis' designs. They are ATROCIOUS! Maybe I'm getting old, but they all look like derivatives of previous generations, or someone's furry OC, more than ever. Some of the main characters also look bad. As for Gekkomon, the protagonist's mandated reptile companion, he's halfway between a Sonic OC and a derpy Digimon. The hyenas with piercings though were funny.

Nevertheless, it piqued my interest enough to check out the second episode.

I just made it to the water zone and think I'm going to grind for a minute, as I barely scraped by in the last boss fight. I am noticing more of a problem I originally felt when getting to the digital world after fighting digimon in the sewers of Tokyo only to immediately have to fight digimon in the sewers of central city. All the dungeons are a little samey, I'd love an occasional puzzle to solve or something.

Welp, Wolvermon is gonna be the renamon of the new series. Literally has an attack called "tomboy blaze" and just radiates smugness

I quite liked the second episode. It feels like it's gonna go a similar route to savers with maybe a bit of tamers darkness mixed in?
 
All Bandai namco needs to do is to make a dead cells-esque roguelike game featuring Renamon as main character beating the hell out of random monsters, make it mod friendly, add on top of it a couple of features the autistic crowd likes such as speedrun potential and proceed to do nothing as furries buy the shit out of it and make any kind of mod for it (mainly porn) and money comes in.
And if they feel like the game is not getting enough traction, they can just release a dlc with some cosmetics and another furry bait as boss.
 
Second episode is good! It's slower-paced, akin to Tamers, as the main Digimon companion hasn't digi-evolved yet (and he* actually needs to suck the MC's digital energy from time to time ala vampires). Reminds me of Tamers with some involvement from the human partner themselves. The literally obscured villain is probably Son Goku, aka the God-Monkey, because he looks like one and has a staff (didn't a monkey show up in Tamers too? Based on the Chinese horoscope IIRC, so I guess that one wasn't important enough).

*The fantranslation I watched insists on having Gekomon be referred as a "they", even though he's clearly a dude, as female digimons have visible traits to tell them apart, so this is pure troonery LGTB bullshit, for not to mention Digimon and partners almost always share the same gender.

Fansub? I think that's probably straight up crunchys subs.

Also, I hope that the others in the group are gonna get as much development as the MC in terms of evos and such. Unlike adventure (omnimon/kizuna evos) and frontier (susanoomon/double spirit evos)
