Hello! I used a program called Dragon UnPACKer 5 and scanned the folder where sound and music are (everything is compressed as .PAK if I'm correct). kzbin.info/www/bejne/aImbh4GGnptkkNU this guy has a wonderful video about it.

@@Hodyna Ohhh thank you. Going to revisit this on the weekend. I loved the popcorn-counding Tecno track from this game!

@BanjoGate You're welcome! And nice to meet another man of taste. Techno theme from this game is amazing, no wonder it stayed in my mind for so long, haha!

Word. I'm so glad I could use these tracka in a video. I highly recommend other works of Jason Page and Harry Holmwood. Those guys were geniuses.

Once I've read your comment I was like "no, it can't be true", so I checked it out and... well, you know the end result. The funniest thing is that I've tried so much obscure things in this game (and its sequel) to uncover potentially "weird" responses and yet... I've NEVER tried to get out of Evil Pig fights using items (Baron, Charity Wings, Bells). They work on every fight in 1 (thus DESTROYING my "point of no return" claim) and every regular fight in 2. Really interesting, thanks for commenting! I'll adress when I'll talk about Evil Pigs in Tombi! 2. Of course you'll be credited for sharing this arcane knowledge. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@Hodyna Thank you to! Is something even I have discovered very late :D And If you talk to 1 milion man he say even that the door now is open forever to return in the battle or something like that :) thanks for your videos!

@@UomoCheSapevaTroppo Yup, he says exactly that. And 6 friends are GONE. ...I was still bit disappointed that the last evil pig doesn't gloat or say anything once you return to fight him again... Oh well, it's still pretty cool.

First of all: thanks for giving my video a chance! I'm glad you've enjoyed the first part enough to subscribe. It's amazing to hear about younger gaming enthusiasts trying older games and enjoying them so much (though, damn, I feel old now, haha). Tombi! 2 is really special to me and I've wanted to make a video about it for a very, very long time. There will be two more parts for Tombi! 2 - I HOPE to release Act II before August and Act III somewhere in September. ...though my release plans often are... too ambitious for me (I was supposed to be done with the series by April 2024... though originally I've planned to make a combined 3-4 hour video about both Tombi! games, so it all got really out of hand). Once more, thanks for your time, especially commenting <3

@@Hodyna I first played it around 2007, I was 4 and an older cousin had a copy, and we used to play it everytime at our vacations. Since then, I loved the game and every now and then I replay it. Earlier this year I finished Tomba 1 for the first time and made the 100% on 2. I found out about the promotional mangas around 3 days ago and was thinking about trying to translate it to Brazilian Portuguese, but apparently they're not complete in English, so I might delay this idea for a while.

@@FernandoCarloto Sounds like really nice memories! Also, great pick for favorite game. What are your thought about Tombi! 1? It's... a very heated debate between fanbase which game is better (I like both, but 2 is still king in my book). Yeah, promotional manga is still being translated by Tomba Club. I'm pretty sure that making good scans take a lot of time as it's what? 2 years since they translated first chapter? Still, it's nice of you to try translate it! Also, I have quite a few viewers from Brazil and it's crazy how similiar gaming in 2000s was in both of our countries, even if they are separated by literal Ocean and about 10000 km. Classic Video Games truly bring people together, huh.

@@Hodyna I think the game was pretty Fun, but there is so much BS on certain areas. The 1-Up System was a bit of a problem, specially in the Mushroom Forest and Phoenix Mountain way, since you just lost a whole life for dropping on a hole. But apart from those things, I really liked the game, but i just cant compare It to 2. And i dont know about there in Poland (Sorry if I got It wrong), but here in Brazil we always depended on piracy (from ps1 onwards) or renting games so we could have acess to the games, and so we had the habit to reunite a Lot of people to play together and trade games with friends for everyone to try new things.

Holy shit. Jeez, thanks for watching this! It means a lot to me to be acknowledged by one of my favorite channels (was one of the first 50 subscribers! ...on the other account but still...)! I mean, shout-outs from me don't mean much, but I HAD to credit one of my main sources, haha. Once more, thanks senpai.

IT'S TRUE TO ME, GODDAMNIT. Even if there was a lot of self-delusion involved... For whatever reason, the site hid Your comment for over 2 weeks. Thanks KZbin, really cool. Thanks for watching, though!

I would want to thank the Academy.

I mean... how could I not? It's one of my fav games! I'm a MASSIVE Vanillaware fan (and I'm so glad that they're still in business). I'm glad that I managed to regain your trust after such a blunder, haha.

Hah! The game is true masterpiece, that much is true! Thanks for comment, it's always nice <3

Betrayal at its finest

Oi, you havin' a giggle m8? It would be NTSC version if it was 1.2x speed. Know your facts you dummy. Btw. Ye, that's perhaps the best way to watch my videos.

1:26:34

Sadly, it's just how I am. Trust me, I tried to change that as it was really annoying to constantly tell my friends that no, I'm not bored by their presence or many other little things in real life. I'm trying still, haha. Thanks for valid criticism, though, I'll keep that in both heart and mind. And thanks for enjoying the video despite my obvious shortcomings.

Sounds fine to me.

@@Hodyna solid video though

cheers to that

I mean, my ~24 year old controller finally died to this game. Descenders are tougher, though.

That what's matters the most to me. Thanks for watching as always!

I guess that's an universal truth, no? But thanks to being put even close to such a masterpiece as Count de Monte Cristo. Feels gud.

Thank you! Both for watching and for taking your time to comment (and provide me with a really interesting conundrum). I agree wholeheartedly about "weight" being the deciding factor of getting a Numemon (and it's a bit of a blessing, as the farther you get into the game, the harder it is to get Numemon, so if you don't do the Toy Town plot quickly, you can be in a bit of a pickle). I agree with a lot of things you say, BUT! ...from what I've seen watching new players around me... care mistakes happen a LOT during the first gen. Not only players don't know where the toilets are (and sometimes there are just too far away to reach them in time, or are bad at dodging enemy Digimon), but there's also skipping feeding by rushing training too much and not having the habit of checking Digimon's needs after every single training session (and skipping hunger need because of the training counts as TWO care mistakes). Care mistakes pile up really quickly for them. It was really hard for me to get care mistakes, even when I deliberately wanted to get digivolutions that required them because that felt so... wrong, but... yeah, beginners make them! And they make them a lot, actually! I would say that getting a Numemon during the initial gen isn't TOO common with both starters, as you get good stats and Digimon with care mistakes requirements are really easy to get by playing "defaultly". Meramon and Birdramon have 15-25 weight requirement too, which is lower than any of Gabumon's evos. Gabumon DOES eat a lot more and often, though, so it is easier to get his weight higher than Agumon's. To be honest, even when I played the game as a child I NEVER got a Numemon as the initial evo. Both Agumon and Gabumon have quite a lot of possible Digivolutions with a varied set of requirements. I find it easiest to get Numemon with Betamon and Elecmon - they are my "go to" Digi's when I want to do the Toy Town plot. Thanks for sharing this, it was really fun to analyze it while commuting form work, haha!

Thanks for showing up! It's sad to hear that, but oh well! I hope that some of the lesser videos that I will do in the meantime (or the another Introspective look at...) will be more to your liking! If you have any suggestions of what game I should tackle on, be free to do so! (the video will be probably something more like 10-15 minutes in length, though).

I would really prefer if you would be quiet. ...jokes and memes aside... I'm quite sad that Tombi 2 is mostly known for... that trainwreck of a happening. i was watching it happen live on stream and nearly died from cringe. And i'm a cringemine myself.

"Gothics" are actually called "Oldies" in the European releases. ...I have NO IDEA what's the reason of this change.

I don't think anyone (or barely anyone) in Europe would connect these, so probably that's why. Meanwhile Americans...

[F] Thanks for the funniest epitaph I've ever heard. It's t-shirt worthy.

It all was just a ruse-cruise, m8. Sorry for your loss. And thanks for being a BIG part of this video.

Yeah, thought so. "Happy little accidents" at work, I guess.

I would like to blame it on having to get up really early each day, having a stressful and demanding job and making videos in my spare time till I go to sleep... ...but the truth is more prosaic: I just sound like that and I was like this from as long as I remember. So yeah, even when everything was perfectly fine and I got enough rest I still got asked about being tired. Thanks for the comment though!

Thanks! I had a lot of fun picking the tracks for certain scenes. To be honest, until I started making my own videos I didn't really see how IMPORTANT a right music track at the right moment is. And... sure, I believe that some of my picks could be... interesting, in the end I think they did alright. But yeah, I wanted to put something from David Bowie and Starman seemed perfect for the job. I'm happy to hear that someone's enjoying my selection! And darn, you got far into the video quickly, haha.

I actually got inspired to grab Next Order (its on sale on switch rn) so I finished the video while i played that last night. I missed stuff though so I'm giving it another listen. I remember a section in the first half where you mentioned a place that most casual players dont ever see, but I didnt catch what that place was, I'm determined to find out where that was! The whole video was great btw. It's almost a shame theres so much useful information being displayed on screen, as I think a lot of people will consume this long form content as something going on in background. Edit: It was bug land lol@@Hodyna

@@RaineyDaysStudio Yeah, Beetle Land gets skipped a lot. Sorry for making your hopes up! I was shocked to discover it (and Back Dimension) when I played the game again 11 years ago. As for the info's on the screen... I didn't want to info dump TOO much by reading it completely as that would completely kill the pace of the video. It's a bit like a guide - if you need something, you can just get to it. But yeah, I'm completely aware of most people listening to it (...which kind of terrifies me, as I wanted to compensate my... shortcomings associated with reading and the audiosphere, with the imagery) - it's a long-ass video and finding enough time to check it out is... a lot, to be honest. Let's treat the text as a bonus for attentive watchers/second-watch bonuses! I hope you won't be disappointed with my recommendation! I really think that Next Order is great (I would say that Switch is actually the best platform to experience it - thanks to it being the portable PS4 port, though playing the PC version on Steamdeck seems like a great idea too, I just haven't tried it) and a natural progression of the series. ...who knows, maybe we'll get another DIgimon World game like that in the future... I just hope that the Digimon list will be... more curated - there's a lot of Digimon available to the player! ...but most of them feel really samey, when in the original Digimon World (and Re:digitize PSP version to some degree) each one was truly unique. ...I forgot to mention it in that "quick" review. It's my only gripe with the game, though (and it being slower and more linear than the original). But thanks for watching, commenting and your overall support! It means a lot to me! Sadly, I can't put your name on the credits (as the video was already released after all), but I'll be putting it in the credits of every future videos along the others. Thank you for going on this journey with me.

@@Hodyna thank YOU for making this! Scratched an itch that’s been there for a long time. Also, have you ever gone out of your way to collect the OTHER stat boost items? I seem to remember one of them dropping from the J-Mojyamon rather infrequently. Definitely agree with next order being slower! I had the misfortune of one of my initial partners achieving ultimate… and the other dying. So I’ve got 2 guys that are essential on different life cycles now, a bit annoying. Also, the human characters! Maybe I’m just older now, but oh man I had to just skip through that stuff 😂 And you hit the nail on the head about partners feeling samey. I’ve already had 2 forms of Kyubimon (fox tail inferno is air elemental? Lol!) I genuinely do not think we’ll get a game that ever matches DW1. It’s simply not possible, it’s a relic of its era, but even in its own time felt like some weird, different artifact. Sorry for blasting you with a million comments, but it’s been great sharing this niche passion!

@@RaineyDaysStudio Don't worry, I love getting comments (and being able to respond to them)! It's really nice to have others to share passion with! Yeah, at one point (years before) I had every stat boosting item. There are six of them: Power Fruit (offense) from Vermilimon, Power Ice (defense) from Rockmon, Speed Leaf (speed) from IceDevimon, Sage Fruit (brains) from Piddomon, Muscle Yam (HP) from MoriShellmon and Calm Berry (MP) from BlueMeramon. Some of them can be also found in the wild (as in 1% spawns in select locations). J-Mojyamon drops Giant Meat infrequently - yeah, only really annoying Digimon drop stat boosters, sadly. As for Next Order... I initially also was quite annoying when my DIgimon ended at different life stages... but then I discovered INSANE training bonuses that the "weaker" Digimon gets. That difference can make your second Digimon obscenely strong. ...also... I strongly advise you to play the game on "easy" as it was the difficulty the game was designed for (it was the only one in the Japanese version). Trainings being debuffed really isn't all that fun.

Thank you! I'm really happy that you like it! Hope that you won't be disappointed with the rest of it!

Also I read in a comment that you think you're not funny, and that your voice is grating. You ARE funny, it's more subtle than the KZbin norm but its there, and definitely resonates with me more than some kid screaming and clipping his mic in overblown YT antics! Anyway, isn't it bizarre that DW1 gets as much love as it does online? How did this janky, seemingly nonsensical game lodge itself so permanently in our heads? THIS game of all games! I'll probably leave a few comments as I work through the video. Subbed already btw, cheers!@@Hodyna

@@RaineyDaysStudio I agree. It's really interesting how Digimon World affect everybody who actually gave it a chance. Despite its technical problems, insanely unintuitive mechanics and overall dubious decisions, EVERYONE can say that this game was a fruit of love and passion. The developing team, while inexperienced, did everything they could to provide the players with something new, fresh and interesting. And they did. Also... when returning to the game... we are reminded of simpler, more innocent times - with the goofy and light-hearted atmosphere. And let's not forget about the mystery and complexity of the game, tickling our curiosity. I never expected to have even the 10% of views and subscribers I have. Hearing that people are actually enjoying your work is the best thing in the world. ...but I'm sure that you already know it, seeing your content! Thank you for your support! I'll be awaiting your comments and thoughts patiently!

I am the one who should (and is) grateful! Really, your music is definitely my favorite part of this video, haha. I'm in awe of what you manage to do with the original tracks, giving them your own unique spin. ...and you even did the really obscure tracks like Flower Tower... Can't wait to use the vol. 2 of The Pignose Project. Once more, thanks for everything!

Yup. It's very beloved in Poland too. Personally, it's my favorite de Funès movie. It's both funny and awfully touching at the same time. I expected a RIDICULOUS plot and hijinx and got life changing experience instead.

I didn't had the heart to remove that tbh.

And what if you won't like it in the end :V?

Haha, I have no idea why would you want to torture yourself by listening to it sound only, but I'm glad you've enjoyed it!

@@Hodyna I've played the game so much over the years I don't even need to see it 🤣

@@WellDressedPunks I would say that there are some pretty fun visuals here and there, haha.

@@Hodyna I'll probably rewatch it at some point. It's my fave game ever so I often watch and rewatch reviews I find on here.
