Digimon Series Disscusion Thread

The Steam version of Survive is crashing after the opening so if you're getting the game don't get that one.

That's not good.

Guilmon isn't a pre-order bonus, he's a "buy it within the first month and get his DLC for free" bonus.

That's good.

Wrong link my dude.

Wrong link my dude.

Dang it, I fixed it.

I really like the tone Survive is going for. It being way more VN than tactics game is probably going to put some people off though, which is a shame because it's great so far.

I got up to Agumon's Champion evolution scene today. Depending on your morality choices you can get Greymon or someone else. I got Tyrannonon.

Oh nice, I was sure i missed it since I forgot to preorder, lol.

I'm getting the Steam version since I won't be avle to play for a month anyway. And if I get it on the Switch I'll probably never finish Hacker's Memory lol.

[You]

Still haven't finished Hacker's memory either.
Promise to finish before starting Survive.

[GDB]

Nowhere around me got even a single Switch copy, and it looks like Amazon basically didn't get enough to cover pre-orders unless you pre-ordered years ago.

Guess I'll go digital, then.

[Reign]

Apparently chapter 5 is where the routes split, because Bandai has asked to not share anything from that point onwards.

[Reign]

Stuff from the new 02 movie.







The new character is Rui Owada, the first person to have ever had a Digimon partner. His Digimon is Ukkomon.

I've been pushing a lot to get through Hacker's Memory (mostly due to boredom, only partly out of curiosity for Survive) and I gotta say, while the characters are still strong (well, for JRPG characters anyway) and the writing gets a few good moments here and there, the overall story really suffers from being written in the shadow of Cyber Sleuth. Like, yes, you're a bit character compared to the OG MC, but

Spoiler:

picking a fight with Kishibe, getting her arrested, and chasing her down until she jumps off a flipping roof is not the kind of plotline you can drop with "welp I got my revenge, I'll just forget about her now".

Nor does it make sense to

Spoiler:

get to Under Zero, witness the Eater Apocalypse including losing a friend during it... and just turn around and leave.

Like, what was even the point?

Also, the grinding still sucks and I can't get any Tactician USB's to drop at the farm, fml.

[Skull]

Oh snap, the original V-Pet rises once again...

[Skull]

Some art by Tenya Yabuno (creator of the Digimon V-Tamer manga and character designer for GG) to celebrate the one year anniversary of Ghost Game's running.

So, how has everyone been enjoying it so far?

[Dragolord09]

Say, what's this forum's opinion on Kizuna, Adventure:, and/or Ghost Game?

[Laserman]

I'll tell you when I actually watch any of them.

[pinetree]

Ghost Game is pretty fun for the few episodes I watched. I probably would've kept up with it if I had a lot of free time.
Kizuna was watchable, can't say I have any strong feelings one way or the other. Tri killed any attachment I still had to new Adventure projects.
Adventure: is absolute trash though.

[Skull]

Say, what's this forum's opinion on Kizuna, Adventure:, and/or Ghost Game?

Have not seen Kizuna, Adventure: was great and Ghost Game is a poor man’s Kitarou.

[ResidentSeagull]

Haven't watched any of them either, except for the first couple episodes of GG. It was ok, but not interesting enough to hook me in for the long haul.

Presumably to celebrate the one year anniversary of the Chinese mobile game "Digimon: New Century", three of the new exclusive Digimon to that game have been added to the Official Reference Book (basically Digimon's version of the PokéDex).

Xiquemon

Name: Xiquemon
Level: Champion
Type: Bird
Attribute: Vaccine

A different kind of Bird Digimon that travels freely in the air and water. It contains fish data within its Digicore, and dives directly into the water from a flying position, swimming and hunting as if it were flying. It is said that the reason why it wears goggles is to protect its vision while swimming. It is a migratory bird that inhabits cold lakes and rivers, and travels across the Digital World in search of new habitats once the water temperature rises. Witnessing Xiquemon flying around in search of a nest is considered to be a sign of good luck, and it is renowned as a Digimon that brings good omens. Since the amount of food it eats at a time is small, it has a habit of using a technique to freeze and preserve leftover food.

Its Special Moves are traveling underwater at high speed and launching a surprise attack on land enemies (Bakusen), and firing a small fish-shaped missile from its mouth (Gyoryūhō). Although this missile is unable to be fired rapidly, the power of a single shot is immense, and it is Xiquemon's main weapon for bringing down the enemy.

Also, it uses its "Hyōtōsō", in which it clads its claws in ice, to fight in close combat. It is a technique that freezes and smashes the opponents it grabs, and is also used to preserve its food.

Huankunmon

Name: Huankunmon
Level: Ultimate
Type: Aquatic
Attribute: Vaccine

A giant Aquatic Digimon whose whole body is covered in scales boasting a hardness rivaling that of Chrome Digizoid. It has a gentle personality, prefers clear water, and protects the areas around lakes from environmental pollution. When feeding, it will jump out of the lake, move as if it is swimming in the air, and swallow flying Digimon whole to satisfy its appetite. Also, because its large build makes it an easy target, it often blends in with flocks of Xiquemon to travel around. So when it moves, it will surround the flock with a large amount of bubbles to protect itself. Since the bubbles refract light, the entire flock, including Huankunmon itself, become transparent and cannot be seen from their surroundings.

Its Special Moves are enveloping the enemy in a bubble produced from its fin to restrict their movements (Korōhō), and spitting out countless sharp icicles from its mouth (Hyōran Kettotsu). In addition, it generates a whirlpool from out of nowhere, forming a pillar of water that slams into the enemy (Chōryū Senka).

Xiangpengmon

Name: Xiangpengmon
Level: Mega
Type: Holy Bird
Attribute: Vaccine

A Holy Bird Digimon referred to as a phantom, it has a body large enough to cover a mountain. It usually sleeps peacefully at the depths of the Net Ocean. While sleeping, Xiangpengmon's data regulates the surrounding environment. Whenever it senses another area of the ocean where the environment has deteriorated, it will awaken, move there to improve the environment, and then return to sleep. Because of its huge size, each time it leaps from the surface and flaps its wings, it shakes the atmosphere, causing all kinds of abnormal weather. Also, while it is in the ocean, several Aquatic Digimon use the crevices all over its body as a nest. In addition, these Aquatic Digimon provide Xiangpengmon with energy little by little, forming a symbiotic relationship that supplies it with nourishment while it sleeps. None of its Special Moves target individuals; they are all wide-ranging, specialized techniques that indiscriminately annihilate a large number of enemies. There is "Shikōrai", in which it generates thunderclouds and looses countless thunderbolts over the target area where the enemy is, "Shinsaiga", wherein it fires the spears on both of its wings from high above to shatter the earth, and "Tensei Kaikai", where it hurls an enormous sphere created from a large amount of seawater towards the ground.

The Digimon Games Twitter account has put up the English translated versions of the mini-backstories for the Digimon Survive characters.These were put up on the Japanese equivalent Twitter roughly 2 months ago, and flesh out some details alluded to in game.
