Digimon Adventure (PSP) - Nostalgic Big Boys - Casp

[@KC-bg1th]

I really wish I got into digimon when I was younger. That way I would have known that the older kids in 2nd grade were ripping me off when they traded me that *literal* shit Digimon for my holographic Machamp. I’m 25 now and that’s probably my most vivid memory of 1st grade. Edit: After googling ‘poo digimon’, I know now that it was a Sukamon that I got in exchange for my Machamp.

Man, that evolution theme is so good, I'm glad that in the latin american version of the anime the localization team kept all the original soundtrack...

Your reviews of other Digimon games are what got me to this channel so it's always a treat to see a new one. This game is certainly no hidden gem but I feel like this is a far better use of the engine/assets of the Data Squad game. I can't believe Bandai never brought it over stateside. Also when talking about end game stuff, you only mentioned meeting Davis. Did you not get through it all or was meeting all the other series protags just not even worth mentioning to you?

[@Caspicum]

I quit it pretty quickly, hey. I think I got through 2 or so bosses with Davis and stopped because I couldn't control or tweak Magnamon, and he kept dying in 1-2 hits from enemies. I assumed there'd be nothing beyond that point worth playing, so I just quit. Even if there were original characters or more bosses, the fundamental design of the dungeon was lazy and repetitive.

[@kap1618]

Month old video but I'll comment anyway. It kind of upsets me that to this day, this is the only digimon game that actual lets you visit and explore the fantastical digital world. Every other game emphasizes the digital side of the digital world rather than the Alice and wonderland inspired madness of the original series. The setting is kind of the reason I liked the Digimon Adventure anime over the Pokémon anime.

[@Caspicum]

That's a great point. I do like that each iteration has its own take on what the 'digital world' should be, but you generally get computer-themed shit instead of bizarre worlds. I think the best crack at it has been the original Digimon World, which might also be down to the way in which you explore it, contributing to its strangeness. You right tho.

[@Er_Buggato]

[@astrograph7875]

Casp O'Saurus If it turns out like the trailers of it being Digimon meets Fire Emblem with a visual novel story, then this will be the digimon game of my dreams(as long as it’s good of course) Also I’m hoping I can choose a partner digimon like Augumon, Gabumon, Guilmon, etc. at the start. Especially Guilmon, He’s the face of Tamers and is the only digimon season(besides adventure) that’s worth going back to. Most fans love Tamers for how dark it gets like how one of the characters partner digimon dies and stays dead. The character’s mom also dies which leads to her (insert spoilers here).... But enough about me, Is there any hopes you have for the game as well?

[@TheUjosh]

Recently picked up this game on emulator to play the English patch (the one i played so far has no text beyond the text box boundaries, so i think it has improved), and I found out if you made good use of the Digipieces, all fights become way shorter. Like, last night i just defeated VenomVamdemon (VenomMyotismon) in probably only 5-7 minutes (excluding all cutscenes) because each time my Digimon attacks it inflicts maximum 9999 damage or near to it. I am still yet to start the Dark Masters arc but compared to the Boss in Digimon Data Squad, the enemies in this game are way less tankier if you can take advantage of the Digipieces modification. Also, power of emulator frameskipping to speed up farming is just as broken as power of friendship.

I thought this game was fun, but the difficulty was pretty inconsistant. Also, I think the leveling system was a bit flawed because it leads to unbalance in level especially for Patamon who is too weak throughout most of the game.

[@Caspicum]

The Patamon sections genuinely had me questioning "Do I skip this and go straight to Hacker's Memory instead?" fuck patamon

[@sofaris576]

You know there is a chip that gives double exp to the Digimon that you equip it? I just give it to Patamon so despite the fact I never used him unless I was forced to he keeped up with the rest of the Party in terms of Lv and once he got his Ultimate evelution he become pretty bad ass. I found Magnaangemon better than most Mega Digimon including Seraphimon. Havensgate hits hard and has a high chance of delaying the next turn. On top of that holy attacks do insane amounts of damage to certain Digimons like Piedmon. In the Boss fight against him I actually made wargraymon a support Character because he could not do much to Piedmon while the Angels just slaughtered him. The Part where you have to face Piedmon without the Angels is a huge pain. You know when you get Phoenixmon. The sections where Patamon is forced into the party where never really an Issue. When Metalgarurumon was forced into the Party that was annoying. To be frank I found both Lilimon and Magnaangemon way more useful than Metalgarurumon. Lilimons debuf move rocks pretty hard and buffs and debuffs are incredible powerful in this game so I got actually more out of it If I buff up Wargraymon and used Lilimon to debuff instead of letting both Mega Digimon just attack. On top of enable Wargraymon to Rip the enemy a new one the enemys attack become so weak because of the debuff Angewomon needs to heal less often and can ad some damage ore buffs herself. Yeah the debuff move is kinda luck based but the odds are in the players favour. There was a round against Venommyotismon where the debuff move worked so well that Angewomon did not needed to heal the group once. I just slaughtered him without him being able to do shit to me. Because of that Metalgarurumon was pretty much a liability and was pretty underlevelt when I was forced to use him. I found it really funny when I used Lilimon instead of Metalgarurumon in the party against Venommyotismon.

Don't say such things about your sex life, Casp. You're a strong and beautiful man. Just believe in yourself more. I love you.

[@Caspicum]

I hope Bandai could make Digimon 02 and Tamer be like this

[@Caspicum]

I enjoyed what I saw of Digimon 02, that'd be sick.

Honestly I found Metalgarurumon kinda useless. Lilimon and latter Magnaangemon proofed to be way more useful.

I'm glad they didn't put the "cooler american" opening and digievolution songs in the spanish version, that would have ruin the series so much :')

Why are you comparing the combat system to grandia? It seems like it has nothing to do with everything that makes grandia's system tick. This is just the FFX battle system.

[@Caspicum]

I think I did a pretty good job of explaining why, but maybe I didn't. Primarily, it was because there are two types of attacks. You've got a heavy-hitting attack, and attacks which deal less damage, but which have secondary effects. This is similar to Grandia's basic attacks, in how you've got combo, which is for damage, and critical which is for the effect. Where Grandia took their system, and utilized it in an amazing manner, Digimon Adventure stuck with a bland, generic take. It offered little incentive to use the turn delay abilities, because they either didn't enact enough of a delay to be worth the damage trade-off, and it was optimal to just ass-blast enemies with the strongest-hitting moves and heal when necessary. Grandia uses a similar idea, but the turn cancelling is more effective at certain points on the timeline, and you can delay enemy attacks, saving you a round of healing, or even potentially stalling the enemy out until you can revive/heal allies. Sometimes it's just nice to get a free attack. There're so many variables with the semi-real-time combat, that what you require will never be 1:1 on repeat playthroughs, or even in subsequent encounters, thus it requires some sort of brain activity. FFX requires no brain activity, and I would've been comparing one crappy system to another. No offense to FFX, but the only time you have to use your brain is in Macalania temple, and even that is more pattern memorization, which can also be grinded around.

It's a Japanese cartoon.

[@geoserenity]

I still say the english digimon tune was better than the japanese music, even all these years later
