Man, I must've not been paying enough attention to Nokia to notice that her dress is slit and stitched up the entire side. Damn girl. That's lewd.

Getting nearly 20k per battle with PlatPoops and 6 USB's on random Rookie and Champion fodder in one of the Digital Mirror Dungeons in chapter 7.
Feels good man.

Oh, hell yes. Hopefully, Bandai Namco discloses its numbers down the line.
The halves are also from two different dresses, from what I can tell.

My fiance bought this for me yesterday, I've sunk 14 hours into it already, it's rather engrossing.
The digimon evolutions and battle system are the highlights, compared to Pokemon, I enjoy the more complicated rock-paper-scissors system, it's also more balanced than the Pokemon games with more evenly distributed typing, strengths and weaknesses.
Beyond that however, the game is very mixed, the narrative is 'okay' but presents far too much filler. It's hard not to lose attention after a while, and the incessant back tracking doesn't help either. Considering the dungeons look generic enough to be procedural generated, I don't see why they weren't.
Not to mention there are loads and loads of what I would consider QoL issues and 'rough edges'. Little things like why is the case feed on the player menu? Why isn't there a detailed case log? Why are some cases 'official' and therefore logged, and others not? Why is it not explicit which cases are story orientated, and which aren't? Why do my digimon use anti-panic as a healing spell when they've only lost 60 HP on autobattle? Why were all the detailed textures not reproduced for the PS4 version (all logos and such are just stretched)? Why are not all digilab access points, also Eden access points? Why do some areas become permanently locked off? Why do locks exist when there's usually a NPC in front of them to prevent you entering that way, anyway?
I mean I don't hate it, the story is still interesting enough, and I like the characters and overall atmosphere of the game, it's lighthearted and fun, but it can certainly get tedious in places. I've had to start consulting a guide on occasion because I'd rather not waste my time with what I consider to be poor design choices (i.e. an poorly implemented and occasionally non-functional quest log).
It's a decent digimon game, the best I have played, but it could be a lot better, and a lot of the means in which it could do so, wouldn't have been difficult to implement. Still I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in the series or JRPGs.

Remember each PlatinumNumemon can hold 1 more Tactician USB over Sukamon. Thats lvl 1 to 30-50 in a single fight with 3 PlatNume/9 USBs. Makes ABI farming a breeze.

66 hours later and I'm finally done. I'm really happy with the game overall, despite some very glaring flaws. I really loved the Digimon raising aspects. Incredibly satisfying to see how the weak Digimon I had in the early hours were able to become the beasts they were in the endgame. The story was honestly weaker than I was expecting it to be. Halfway through or so, it seemed like things were picking up, and while they sort of did, it didn't really do much for me. The super sloppy translation didn't help either. Not sure how I felt about the difficulty balancing either. Normal was absurdly easy, but many of the later game bosses on hard were absolutely infuriating (was I screwing up somewhere or were they supposed to have a billion more turns than me?).
Despite the flaws, I still really enjoyed my time with the game. I'd definitely say it's reinvigorated my interest in Digmon! Here's hoping this does well so we can get Next Order. I'll probably give Re
igitize a try sometime in the future since it has a fan translation.
Also, here was my final team. Loved these guys!

Not cheaper but there is a price comparison website you can look at.

They're one of the few publishers that actually announces sales numbers. Unless it somehow did really bad they'll announce it within a month or two.

So is Imperialdramon PM even possible on hard mode? Dude moves a ton of times for each time I move once, and I'm using a team of level 99 megas
I just beat him, i guess it's just a battle of endurance. Kill the clones on the left and right. And then you just have to spam revive items and muscle through his omni blade attack spam since it will one shot you and then he will just kill himself. If you use Jesmon, he has an skill that makes him invincible. When he says "Forefathers sword?" just guard.

Speaking of, is there any reason to use Imperialdramon over Fighter Mode? Stats are worse in like every way it seems.
Paper Sparrow

You can use a Digimon like Jesmon who has a skill that blocks every hit until his next turn. PM will eventually tire out.
I assume you mean Dragon Mode? It looks cooler. That's why I'm using Dragon Mode.
Just beat him without that, but that skill sounds perfect for this fight <.<

If you get Tactician USBs and PlatinumNumemon, it's even more hilarious.
Your digimon's gonna be like:

Oh, interesting. I have Jesmon so that should be possible. Still think the fight is kind of awful though
Ok guys I really have to ask WTF is up with Digimon and shit?
You have these Sukamon guys (love the mad exp boosts) but they are various colors of shit piles and throw shit which is weird by itself because that means that piles of shit are taking a shit and then using said shit as a shitty weapon.
Then you have this hairy little testicle monster with sunglasses who pops a squat dropping a big pink load into his hands and then precedes to dunk it on his enemies. There are so many references and images of shit/poop/crap in this game that it makes me feel like I'm reading a thread in OT.
I love this game I just don't understand why it's soo shitty.
(Also ShineGraymon makes me think of Shining Gundam so whenever I go into battle I replace the battle music with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny24zPeQLks )

I think it all stems from it originally being a virtual pet. Poop is a big deal in those. It teaches the valuable life lesson that if you don't clean up your pet's poop, they will become poop (or things associated with poop).
Took me a while to find real players but status effects are pretty OP

Gankoomon I'm meh on, but I like Jesmon. You can never have too many swords!
They can, yes. Generally, the "canon" digivolutions will stay the same (ie Agumon -> Greymon), but not always.
Yes. If the options to digivolve to a different type digimon is available to them.

PlatinumSukamon (they have an inheret skill that increases XP gain, this stacks with more PlatinumPoops in the front party)
Each one has all of their held items be Tactician USBs (items that increase XP gain, they stack with each other and stack with the PlatinumPoops).
PlatinumNumemons are the mega versions that can hold an additional USB each.
You'll have to wear a neck brace after experiencing those XP gain speeds.
It's a weird as hell way to get XP but it gets results like no other. Only in a Digimon game.
Think of it like a microtransaction, but instead of "this much money/game credits per minute", think of it using your dignity/per minute as a currency.

Yep, I'm out. The grind for the medals has transcended far beyond the realms of reality. Spent about 851k yen trying to get the last medal out of the Akihabara gacha I needed and still couldn't manage it.
I finally understand why there's such a low completion rate for those medal trophies.
