Most questionable design and localization decisions in this series happened back when Digimon was actually meant for children, really - the 'mon' naming 'suffix' (it's still the butt of jokes now, but I'd totally see it working as a ".mon" file-type extension thing), the evolution scheme (both the naming and the number of evolution levels), dozens of bizarre name changes that make no sense (remember when certain characters in 02 from English-speaking countries got their names changed, such as Sam to Phil and Wallace to Willis? Yeah, that was dumb as hell).
Granted, it didn't stop being that way till recently, despite certain series pushing it (Tamers, Savers). It's partly why I think Digimon should be retooled sensibly for the new direction Cyber Sleuth seems to taking it, since Pokemon and Yokai Watch already have the kids audience for the genre locked down tight. Wiping the slate clean and tossing most of the localization changes that occurred over the past couple of decades would be a good start, and keep certain human name changes as nicknames to appease the fans, since they were already doing that with the Adventure cast anyway.
Damn, PlatNumemons take 16 memory? I'll still grind the chapter 4 side quest dungeon until I have 3 of them, but it looks like I gotta wait a bit until I'll be able to use a full party of them.
I just downloaded the 1.03 patch.
Btw, has anyone actually shown this gameto a child? I bet they would love it.
I don't think this game is appropriate for a child. There's a lot of fucked up stuff so far.
So training counts for stats concerning evolution, but equipment doesn't?
Hopefully this set of training gives me 29SP, then I'll have Lilithmon ready to level.
There's 1 boss fight later on (I think the middle of the game)..with a young girl strapped to the front with a tentacles holding her legs, arms bound and a ball gag in her mouth

e: Man I cannot handle how edgy some of these digimon designs are. I do remember finding many of them cool when I was younger, so I guess they do their job tho.
Mon suffix? Don't you mean the Digi prefix? Cause that's the one I noticed they put in everything. For example "Chosen Children" -> "Digi-destined".
Nostalgia is a helluva thing. I don't know if they could change some of these things even if they wanted to. Nor would it make much difference.
The hell is that? o.o
Digivolved it. PlatSukamon (@ lvl 26 with 75 Max SP, 75 DEF, 65 SPD) -> Etemon (lvl 65, 10 ABI) -> PlatinumNumemon. Raising PlatSukamon to 26 takes only a couple of battles in the Haguromon dungeon, but getting Etemon to level 65 takes around a couple of hours, so it is a bit time-consuming. Takes 3 battles to level him up when he's lvl60+.

Blackgarurogreymon I guess
I have PlatSukamon!
is PlatinumNumemon much better than Sukamon?
They could probably easily get away with reverting some of the more ridiculous changes (Creepymon, King Drasil, etc), and keep human localized names as nicknames, which, again, they already did for the Adventure cast and nobody complained. Some of the more fundamental things might be intractable, but not impossible to change, though who knows how fans might react. Sonic Adventure threw out the entire western Sonic 'canon' (which was basically entirely manufactured by SEGA of America) and only kept 'Ivo Robotnik' as Eggman's real name with Eggman as an alias, but it took a long time for the fanbase to get over it.
Hopefully an overprotective mother buys this game for Little Jimmy and goes to the mainstream media after a "certain" questionable boss fight.
This game needs all of the attention it can get.
Now that's what I call edgy
It's so edgy, it can probably cut reality itself
I'd say there's no other way about it. If they really intend to continue targeting Digimon at older fans, they need to do away with all of these silly legacy changes that were made when the show was getting one of the most incompetent dubs ever produced. There wasn't even much point for some of these changes when kids were the target audience; there's no point with adults being a key target audience. Particularly if they intend to draw in new fans, as is the stated goal of the modern games.
Are there plans to expand Cyber Sleuth into anime and toys and translated manga in North America, or will it remain just a video game?
If the English version get rated really well, we would like to make toys and animation based on this narrative and world. But the first is to see if we can be successful in North America!
Hard to say, really. Going by their lvl 99 base stats, it looks like Numemon isn't THAT much better:
Lvl 99 PlatSukamon
HP: 2020
SP: 152
ATK: 123
INT: 123
DEF: 202
SPD: 118
Lvl99 PlatNumemon
HP: 2470
SP: 186
ATK: 138
INT: 153
DEF: 242
SPD: 159
In addition to the skills inherited from the earlier digimons in the evolution branch, it looks like Numemon only gets 4 main stat debuff skills (ATK/DEF/INT/SPD -10%, all foes - that's one stat per skill, i.e. Attack Break Field inflicts -10% ATK) which I'm not sure will end up being very useful.
Like I said, it took me an hour or two of grinding to get just one, so I'm not sure if they're actually worth it. Most (all?) enemies so far have been easily taken care of with 3 Sukamons.
Doing the de-digivolving between Poyomon and Tokomon, do I need to max the level? Is there a benefit doing it?
Yeah. Btw, what does "CAM 100% Stingmon is your friend" mean? I already have ExVeemon with 100% CAM and wormmon almost 100%. Once I got a stingmon with 100% CAM, it will digivolve to Paildramon?Paildramon get!!
he evolves to imperialmon right?
Ah, pretty much. Thanksit increases the amount of ABI gained. Although, as the max level gets higher and higher, it becomes not worth it i think.
My bad sorry
I was referring to the exp bonus they give not the stats
since PlatNumemon is a higher level digimon I'm sure he gives more exp bonus than Sukamon.

I remember I saw an article where they offhandedly comment about the possibility of a Cyber Sleuth Anime depending on reception.
I'm trying to dig it up now.
The best is UlforceVeedramon. His Support Skill allows your team to go first and was a stable for the tougher fights during the Japanese release iirc.
Thanks.
Also, I'm trying to get Frigimon to Angewoman who needs 100 INT and 75 SP. Am I supposed to leave him in the farm with a lively leader to bump his SP, and then change to a brainy leader for the INT? I'm not really sure how stat growth and ABI work across de- and digivolutons.
Neat, I'll definitely work towards that one as I get to the end of the game. I remember seeing a video of a battle against.Lucemon in his various forms that seemed really hard and I noticed they had him along with some like MarineAngemon and Mastemon
Thank you. Currently working towards those PlatSukemons so thank you for reporting about their usefulness.

Sorry if someone already asked,but how do i increase the ABI stat?i know that you need to de-digivolve.
Oh Okay i understand now, thanks.Higher the level you are, the bigger the increase from De-Digivolving.
But just De-Digivolving, even at level 1 will increase the ABI stat.
Lore question, how many groups of 'legendary' digimons are there? Off the top of my head we got
- Thirteen Royal Knights
- Seven Demon Lords
- Four Sovereigns
- Four Great Dragons
- Three Archangels
There's also a whole slew of "Godlike" and "King of Beast" type Legendaries...
Ah, yeah. Thanks.it increases the amount of ABI gained. Although, as the max level gets higher and higher, it becomes not worth it i think.
I have PlatSukamon!
is PlatinumNumemon much better than Sukamon?
Looks like a Dark version of Omnimon.
While both give the same exp boost, PlatNumemon has an extra slot. This means he can hold 3 Tactician USBs, instead of only 2. This increases your exp gain even further.
The 12 Devas (they serve the Four Holy Beasts)
Olympos XII
The Banchos
10 Legendary Warriors
There's also some other groups like the Big Death Stars (these are essentially the Seven Death Generals minus Apollomon), the Crack Team and the D-Brigade, although I'm not sure how legendary those are.
Bingo. It's Omegamon (Omnimon) Zwart (and I think this specific artwork was for Next Order)

It's not.
The Executor is something new. Omegamon Zwart is still in Next Order.
How long is this game?
