[@The_Kaichu]

Call me crazy, but I really enjoyed the card battles in this game. I don't remember what it was called, but there was a card mini-game you could play and collect for, and I found it to be enjoyable, as mini-games go. :3

[@VagueTheory]

Kaichu I spent a bulk of my time playing the card game too!

[@deathblade909]

Kaichu haha same

[@WhiplashPuppet]

Meh, the card game in DW3 was a nice distraction, but doesn't feel as enjoyable as the actual card game that was on PS1. Should give that a look if you ever got the time. It's.....kinda long for a card game? Probably longer than it has a right to be, but it's fun.

[@redzyakuza]

[@Mario-us7ds]

It was a simplified version of the Card Battle title (which is extremely good btw). When I was a kid, I really liked it too, but in my last playthrough I found it quite boring and a waste of time.

[@Strekks]

Guhhh the sprite work is sooo nice. Would've loved to see them use sprites for battle.

[@Caspicum]

Definitely. If this game was balanced better, and sped-up a little bit, it'd be one of the best Digimon games.

When I was a little kid in the 3rd grade for Christmas me and my brother got a PS2 for Christmas.

I rarely beat RPG games, but with Digimon World 3 I really put in the effort and beat it. I loved the music, the areas were pretty and the sprites were very cute. Digimon World 3 is such an under rated game that all Digimon fans should try and experience. I never knew about your channel until now. I'm so glad that someone out there is doing the Digimon games justice and reviewing them critically and mentioning what is both good and bad about them.

For the GYM: you can save between each training point. If you get a low number, just restart from the last save point. It’s tedius, but it made the game that much easier in making your team stronger.

Nice vid! The only thing for me with this game is it took a long time to grind through the stuff - which isn't bad - but also felt like everything took a long time. Also wish you could save wherever, getting lost in the tunnels with Digmon and not being able to save for hours while fighting countless Drimogemon wasn't fun. I did enjoy the card game though. That said, I love the design of Persiamon, Zanbamon, Gryphonmon and Pharaohmon, which feature in the game. These are imo underrated Digimon and its a shame they haven't made more appearances in other Digimon media including other Digimon games.

[@MiaTyrnfae]

It's funny. I always thought the blue boxes which now are obviously incremental loading were intentional when I was a kid, because your character is playing an MMO and that was a really immersive way to remind you of that whenever you ran into it. Maybe it's a bit of both, a way to boost load times that also somehow manages to be diegetic?

[@colbbot3291]

Great review Casp. I gotta say I want to try Digimon World 3 now. I'm glad they took out the pet care tomogotchi part of it. I hated having to make the digimon go to the toilet, get medicine, and eat a lot. I'm glad the third digimon world focused more on the battles and the digivolving more so than the crappy training of the first game. I hated getting lower tier digimon from accidentally having a digimon die. It seems though that digimon world 3 did have some good improvements.

[@Caspicum]

Nadine Craft Yeah! There's a lot to be said for the v-pet element, but it becomes such a bloody grind. Let your Digimon poop outside a toilet 5 times, screw you, your Digimon is ruined. Enjoy your walking piece of shit, bro! Definitely give 3 a try. It's an enjoyable experience for the most part. If you can remove the frame limit on an emulator to bypass the grinding, that might be a good idea. Let me know what you think when you play it!

5:40 Its interesting to note that it is up to you whether or not this transformation is temporary. You get the option to use any transformed state at the very beginning of combat without having to waste a turn looking at the actual transformation.

[@Caspicum]

If I didn't use that, I would've gone crazy.

[@aradinremeor6554]

Very understandable. Something that might also be interesting to note, and something that I myself didnt figure until I replayed it on an emulator many years after it first came out, is that there difference between the american and the eu version of the game called Digimon World 2003, which has post-endgame Content, a Tournament for the card game, legendary items and more.

[@Caspicum]

I've only just recently discovered that. I'm not sure I could go through it again, but if I ever do, I know which version I'll pick!

[@MaikoGabrielKinzelEngelke]

I remember losing many times to I think Zanbamon, the first strong optional boss. So I left it alone, went through most of the game, came back much later with many high level monsters. I was nervous, but I won easily... I also had made maps for all the subterranean spaces, had almost all cards and all the shit... But I never finished the game, I came close though, but I stop poured for grinding for 100%. Only the boss and unlocking all evolutions remained Another nice thing in this game is the sense of scale in battles. If your dgmn is huge, the enemy will usually look very small

[@joeyrazorburn]

This came out super great dude! Super glad to see this come out the way it did! I've gotta say, I completely agree with you about the end points; it's quite amazing how 3 drastically different games of the same series have the same fatal flaw. The second half of DW3 is bullshit. If it had just gone in a different direction for the second half, maybe it would have been better.

+Ryuma King I'm going to be honest, I barely know what a WonderSwan is. I've heard the name a lot, but never actually played anything on it, nor researched it. I'll definitely consider both that, and Monster Rancher. I want to return to the Digimon series eventually, because the -World games on the NDS are quite good... Or, at least, I remember them being quite good. I've also been told to play Monster Rancher by a few people, so I'm sure I'll get around to them at some point! Thanks for the suggestions!

[@RyumaXtheXKing]

It was one of Game Boy's best competitors on the handheld market, designed by the Game Boy's designer Gunpei Yokoi. The first iteration was a 16-bit system with 8 greys and then got a color version, much like the GB and GBC. It was moderatly succesful, so succesful that 15 Digimon games were released on it. 15 god damn Digimon games. Some card-battling games, some fighting games and ofcourse RPGs. And at least the first one, Digimon Adventure: Anode Tamer, came in English. So, if you ever run out of localized and fan translated Digimon games, there is always the Wonderswan. It actually got quite a few license games, like Dragonabll, Hunter x Hunter, Shaman King, Inuyasha and One Piece. Even Square supported it with a few FF ports and entirely original games. PS: Jade Cocoon is a cool monster collecting/raising game on the PS1. A Ghibli artist worked on it.

[@eganburg]

Walking through the map is fine and i don't mind wasting time talking to all NPC. It's the combat system that makes me bored with this game... I end up buying a special joystick that can press X rapidly just by holding that button, so my digimon can attack automatically... I'm just glad this game is not as sucks as digimon 2 You should make a review for Digimon rumble arena tho, my most enjoyable digimon game on ps1

[@Caspicum]

Egan Wibowo Yeah, there aren't that many NPCs in the game, so talking to them isn't a bit deal. You're right in that it's definitely the combat which burns most of your time. I definitely should've invested in an auto-fire A controller. That's a fuckin good idea. As for Rumble Arena, my friend has done the second one, which I'll link here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ-Wep6lapyGoKs I'll probably return to Digman at some point, but I'm not sure about continuing the "World" series.

[@AvariceOverlord]

I feel like the blue squares were added for that sense of "Virtual Reality" Immersion. Since it plays a huge part in the so-called story.

I enjoy good criticism. Also, I check my KZbin sporadically, so you just got lucky I replied to you in 6 minutes last time :^)

Back watching this video bout 7-8 years later, man u really gotta upload more often! How do u not have 100k yet?

[@Caspicum]

It's been a hell of a ride, thanks for checkin' in! I blame my lack of consistency in uploads and video quality, but we're not all meant for big numbers. the fact that I'm at 30k is mind-blowing

[@justinrozario2003]

@@Caspicum I'm glad we still got u around & uploading, most folks I used to watch back in the day never made it & simply stopped uploading. Gotta hand it to you for still churning out good content year on year.

[@urupomias]

Never got through this game as a kid. My PS1 was getting old and couldn't handle the loading, and if that wasn't enough the disc broke or something because it kept soft locking or memory leaking on my PS2. I tried years later on an emulator with a gaming PC no less and even that lagged like all hell and refused to load the blue squares.

[@dinosaur8825]

Download reputable emulators. There's also merit to configuring the options. Otherwise there's really no legit excuse as to why a PS1 game would lag like hell in a more powerful hardware..

[@kaoru20ful]

It is so worth it to play again in your mobile device.

[@SeriouslyWhyDoINeedAHandle]

Hi, not sure if you knew this but you can set the evolved types to take place of the starter that way when you get in a battle you will have the evolved type out, and won't have to waste a turn evolving! Not that it actually matters but I played the shit out of this game and just wanted to share some info

[@Caspicum]

+Randy Dickered It took me a while to figure out, but I did eventually find that. Frankly, once I got Black War Greymon, all bets were off, and every other Digimon became useless to me

[@Hoggaththegreat]

Casp imperialdramon is far more strong than bk wargreymon

[@setteplays]

The most nostalgic for me and yes, the better World (I just got started in Re:Digitize, so maybe... aaand there's Next Order just around the corner).

[@GrabShiny]

I was worried about this review. I loved World 3 as a kid, but I've been worried about going back to it. Looks like it's more or less what I remember. So perhaps it's time to check it out again.

[@Caspicum]

It's always worth confirming your suspicions about old vidya.

[@tartarturner]

last night I was just wondering when u would upload another video, so thanks for the great work and keep it up

[@Caspicum]

Turner Wood OH, YOU! Going to try and stay consistent this time, so look forward to that! I know I will, as I lament my free time :D

[@farisr7841]

the biggest problem is the grinding, oh god the grinding combined with the slow ass battle animation......

[@KichiMiangra]

My relationship to this game is an odd one. I loved it as a kid but admittedly never got very far. As an adult by the time I DID get far I found myself frustrated by the amount of backtracking the game used combined with the random encounters and... honestly found the story lacking. To be fair, I come to Digimon for what World 1 was: V-pet sim adventure, Not an RPG. If I want an RPG there are plenty out there like Final Fantasy I could pick up and play. To be fair there's a lot that I like about this game though. I think the world is well put together and really feels 'Digimon' in a lot of places, Sometimes even more so than it's return to form Digimon World Next Order did! (I loved next order.) I am gaga for good sprite work and although the humans are just okay the Digimon look fabulous! As a kid I enjoyed the 3d battles but as an adult they're somewhat unnecessary to me. The music is amazing. So basically I just agree with your video in a lot of points. So here's my easy walkthrough for the game: That part at the Beginning when Junior can't decide what Digimon pack he wants and Teddy says "Just pick the pack with a Digimon you like and roll with it"? Literally do just that. Except Legit only use one Digimon. Just the one. I have beaten this game where I've only had Monmon and it's evos in combat eating all that precious exp and only in a select few places needed to grind. BOOM> One-shot everything. Also the Crest of Sincerity they tell you to go looking for? Translation error and a pain for anyone who grew up with the show. They meant the Crest of reliability.

[@chrisj5074]

This is probably the best Digimon game I've ever played. Personally, I still find it holds up now a days, especially when compared to games like cyber sleuth. Cyber sleuth to me, (albeit fun) is a poor recreation of the mechanics from world 3, with nicer graphics, but less content. The grinding is more prevalent in DW3, but the pay off I think is a lot more rewarding in the end. This game is only genuinely confusing when playing as a child, which I'm sure was the intended audience, but not so much a problem through later years. All in all, I'd give this game a 8/10. It's a ps1 game that holds up in 2020, that's saying a lot in my opinion.

[@xDeltafy]

Subscribing after the comment about the old folks wanting to "yiff it up"

[@ofn8527]

Great quality review, pretty surprised you don't have more subscribers!

[@Caspicum]

+Brandon Dodsworth I get that every so-often, and it honestly doesn't bother me much. The fact that people want to watch my shit in the first place absolutely blows me away. To have near-3,000 subs is mental. 2,500 people and 300 bots clicked a button and checked some shit out because of some things I made. Might not be big in KZbin numbers, but I'm extremely appreciative of it every time I check my channel.

[@Crispman_777]

The training segments success rate was drastically increased with button mashing at specific speeds, which increase for each round. My mate from primary school told me this when we played this at the time. I know it sounds like school playground BS but it actually works and there's nothing in the game that tells you about it either.

[@Caspicum]

I wish I knew that. It would've made life so much easier.

[@Crispman_777]

Yeah... I didn't believe it to begin with. The game's a bitch for not explaining stuff like the general level of mobs in an area, how to complete side quests or that if your team wipes so does your unsaved data. Oh the PTSD this game can inflict...

[@jameshuntington8644]

Interesting fact- the blue panels are solely asthetic!!! As a kid I had a disc of this game that I had taken less than stellar care of and certain areas would fail to remove the blue squares and it was a 50/50 with each random encounter whether the game would crash completely in those areas. However, you could fully traverse them and make it through if you didn't proc a random encounter and I learned to navigate the Plug Cape and Suzaku city blind because of this 😅😅

[@Caspicum]

Yeah, i look back on that now as a like "That's not how the PS1 handled loading." what a dumb little man i was. I'd love to see videos on how certain levels of scratched discs affected gameplay because that's actually insane. I admire your dedication, soldier. You're an asset to the team! is there a salute emoji? probably idk

[@KrezalSkog]

The title saved me almost 11 minutes, have a like for being honest.

[@prideworth1095]

This video and music gives me back nostalgia, I wish there were more digimon games like this, or a remake perhaps

[@Carrx]

I do love the evoloution mechanic in this game though, the grind is tough but if you can get which ever digimon you wish , its worth it. I love going for Veemon then evolving it to Imperialdramon Palidin Mode. Then agumon evolving it to Diaboromon. And Guilmon who i turn into Beelzemon . :D Also if you play 2003 , the european version there is a post game.

[@robbot9996]

Hey Casposaurus! the patch for Re:Digitize is done at last!

[@Caspicum]

Rob Bot OH MY GOD. IT'S REAL. I CAN"T. THANKS SO MUCH FOR LETTING ME KNOW! YOUR COMMENT ACCELERATED THE VIDEO BY AT LEAST 2 DAYS.

[@TypetwoAbsolute]

How to play this game: 1. Get bored quickly of the MMO story. 2. Get confused that this isn't a gameplay sequel to either of the first two games. 3. Get frustrated that you have a party of three digimon but can only battle 1 at a time. 4. Get further frustrated that your digimon goes back to rookie all the time. 5. Get further further frustrated that your party isn't the digimon you wanted and you're stuck with a monkey or some shit. 6. Get more lost and confused trying to follow a guide to find the digimon you want or to advance the plot. 7. Give up and play the card game.

[@LeiosLabs]

The EXP is split between the stronger and weaker forms, so it's worth using the previous forms to level up faster.

[@Caspicum]

I can't even remember what I said in this video, but I bet it was mostly bad. I'd love to re-do this one. I still read the comments, but half of them are lost on me. Bad video tbh.

[@johhatomii2691]

Yeah 1 seems to be my favorite but i like how they tried different things. Anyone can just remaster older version so experimenting is always good. This style reminds me of Final fantasy tactics advanced.

[@The_Jack_Doe]

I spent first time 20+ hours in that game and haven't beaten it xD I needed more grind. Later just grinded for shit and giggles untill I reached lvl 99 on all 3 starters gametime after that was something just mad. Only thing I hated were card battles although they were easy enough

[@Caspicum]

+Jack Doe I didn't do much card stuff, unfortunately. I much prefer the proper Digital Card Battle. Also, I can't imagine grinding to level 99. I struggled to get a few mons to 50 for certain Digivolutions. You truly are a champion.

[@The_Jack_Doe]

Casp Osaurus Better say bat shit insane xD I am lucky my brain havent turned into pudding

[@Lucifronz]

It's the only one in the series that I actually like playing. It's not perfect, in fact the combat is laughably shallow (even Pokemon has more depth), but it's fun to unlock new digivolutions. On that note, you forgot to mention that you have to have certain stat requirements (rather obscure ones, too) in order to unlock digivolutions. Depending on the rookie you're using, those requirements can be easy or hard. I just cheat, though, because while I enjoy the game and the variety of digivolutions, I'm not interested in grinding forever. One day I may beat this game, although it can be a bit of a slog. The random battles make it worse. Sometimes you just want to get from point A to point B without fighting a hundred random digimon along the way. Worse yet, you really need a guide at certain points unless you're the most observant, thorough and determined person in the world.

[@Caspicum]

I thought Digimon were unlocked solely at set levels! This is news to me!

[@Lucifronz]

Yeah, I'm fairly certain there are some that, no matter the rookie, can only be unlocked after training specific stats to a certain point. Veemon requires some dark resistance to be trained before he can become Beelzemon, for example (one of my personal favorites) along his chain. Some of the best ones are only unlocked that way. Leveling only gets you like four different types at most, I believe, except for Veemon, who I think only gets three. If you ever feel like it, check out a guide for each unlock and see some of the cool forms you can get. Great videos, by the way. No one really talks about these games anymore, but despite their flaws (which are glaring in many cases), they have a bit of charm to them.

[@kiranosNT]

If I remember well, set level only give you the standard line digivolution, like for agumon you get greymon, metalgreymon, and wargreymon by set level, and all the other need requirement. The grinding is real tough and while i finished the game, I wouldn't have lasted if it wasn't for playing it on emul and speeding up everything

[@Lucifronz]

+Kiranos No doubt. I cheat nearly every time I play. Too much grinding otherwise.

[@rainingoogle4362]

+Casp yes! iirc for example (correct me if I got this wrong) the normal ones are: Agumon Level 5 > Greymon. Agumon Lvl 20 > Metal Greymon. Agumon lvl 40 > War Greymon if lvl 50 Greymon has a Dark of 130 (or higher?) he will turn into Skull Greymon then Skull Greymon lvl 99 to Black War Greymon.

[@constipation4650]

I just finished the game few days ago, and yeah I can agree with majority of the issues the game have. Especially in its later half after accessing Ametarasu Server. Constant backtracking and running across the entire map is not a fun experience. What I also noticed, the game seem to fail at explaining things, there are obscure mechanics that the game never really explains it well and I had to actually open Google and check about them. Like Wisdom and Spirit affecting combat, Curse stats and curing them, Which element is weaker/stronger against, the tiresome grind and fetch quest Duel Island and the most obnoxious fetch/hide and seek quest is getting all legendary weapons to battle the 4 boss fights aftrer killing the final boss. Then you have Kurt, without a doubt the hardest challange the game has and the most annoying.

[@TheUnaBoomer]

I liked the death system in DW1 because you were constantly getting to experiment with new Digimon while you continued collecting new digimon for your town. (besides all the grinding)

[@Caspicum]

Yeah, unlocking the gym upgrades made life a bit easier, but RE:Digitize nailed that shit. Made it much easier to stomach the grinding.

[@jnoirj3124]

The grinding didn't bother me because I cheesed it with a auto fire controller with a rubber band and having my character run in a corner while I slept.

[@ofanichan]

I wish this game came out on PS network or something, I miss it so much

[@Caspicum]

I'm honestly surprised they haven't re-released it.

[@jannaldrinsagala3929]

Dude, you can maintain your Champion / Ultimate / Mega form in the menu instead of constantly digivolving every battle...

[@Caspicum]

I know! I don't think I bitched about having to watch it every time, but I could be wrong. I figured that out fairly early on, at around Champion level. I'd have to check my script, it's been so long, but I definitely knew that as I wrote the script.

I know you said this would probably be your last Digimon review before Digimon Re:Digitize, but PLEASE review Digimon World 4 so we can all have a good laugh.

[@Caspicum]

GaraLyrics I may have something in the works, just on another channel! There's a link in the description for a lad called Joey Razorburn. He pinky-swore he'd cover Digimon World 4, and I may or may not appear in his video. We will never know. I'd highly suggest keeping your eyes on that channel!

[@igordemelo4128]

Honestly, for the time and for the targeted audience, the game had a pretty intense script and storytelling. The visuals, music and sound design were so good and iconic. I can't praise enough. The gameplay is both grinding paradise and terrifying for those who hate grinding.

[@NobleAbsinthe]

watching your digimon rpg reviews are so much better than the other nobody youtube reviewers.

[@Caspicum]

I appreciate that, but everyone's out here doing their best, and I'm also a nobody youtube reviewer! Also, I gotta say, these early videos of mine are garbage. I think they get progressively better in terms of quality and scripting, like, at some point I learned to stop making awful cringe jokes, and swapped to dad jokes, but everyone's giving it their all, and I'm sure there're plenty of people out there who've done it better than me! Especially these old Digimon videos, god damn they hurt to watch. I do appreciate the comment though, and I hope you continue to dig the series!

[@fredericogames2965]

Played this way to much. It became a comfort game for me. Really enjoyed all the digivolves in this game.

[@falfore5863]

It took me way to long to learn I could start the battle digivolved. There are some things you just miss as a child.

[@skarmorydx2989]

Besides the Card game The only things you forgot to mention...Compared to the other games, you have practically an infinite inventory, with stackable items up to 99 [No matter the item]. And thoose, god....damn....Knightmons when you first enter the alternate server's Asuka city [starting city] xD a fight you can only Game Over at if you go to that city too soon. And leveling is tedius if you wanna get evolutions, as you practically need to level up every single evolution you get per digimon, even if its the same one. But a pretty enjoyable game imo. I hope if they ever come back on PS4 or so, they fix some of thoose flaws.

[@sok5555]

If anything this game will partially be responsible for weakening my heart in old age, due to the endless number of mini heart attacks I suffered as a child while running trough the world and then BAAAM FIGHT STARTS JUST AS I'M ABOUT TO GET TO SAFETY

[@Caspicum]

I love that now as an adult, but as a kid, that would've infuriated me. At least it's given you some unique memories.

[@nosoyapyr]

When I played in my ps1 as a child, sometimes the blue squares stayed in the screen and the game crashed sometimes I never know if it happened to other people :(

[@Caspicum]

Oh damn, must've been a disc read issue. Possibly a scratched or damaged CD. My Final Fantasy 8 used to do that. It'd get stuck in infinite cutscenes.

[@nosoyapyr]

Casp O'Saurus probably, that issue killed me in my childhood, I was too young for ask in an English forum (I was learning English and how the magical world of the internet worked) so I was practically fucked up xD

[@baddragonite]

The thing is back then if they didn't have some form of 3d sections even if it was just the battle section , they Wouldve likely been slammed by reviews back then and some of the fans of the past two games. We don't think about it now but back then having "3D " in a game was seen more as a feature not a style choice. It Would've been treated as a step back at the time.

[@Absolhunter251]

I personally love this game, because it’s my first and only digimon game I own and play! I love the music, the design
