Just completed Ch3. That final boss was a bitch. Didn't have ExE ready (used it earlier on) so had to use lots of items and a few reloads.

Right now my only complaint about the story is Luche. I like her yeah but

Spoiler

she has no Digimon and no one even questions why she is in the world when she was not a part of that tournament years ago and she has no Digivice. They just accepted her no questions asked all the way up until Ch3.

Maybe this gets explained later and I do have my theories but it's still weird that

Spoiler

no one has said anything.

Also Mirei's EN VA is great. Sounds like his I imagined she would in English.

It's late I know that's not very clear but it's easy to find if you know to the right of the meat base

What happened?

They have no stock, didn't send out a lot of preorders.

What are the pros and cons of having high or low discipline? Outside of digivolution parameters, I mean.

 

[Master Milk]

anyone know how to lower bonds?

 

[Paper Sparrow]

What are the pros and cons of having high or low discipline? Outside of digivolution parameters, I mean.

This is from the manual:

Your partner's discipline affects their Digivolution. If it's high, they'll become a more
serious-minded Digimon; if it's low, they'll become more of a bad-boy Digimon.
Discipline changes depending on how you communicate and what you feed them.

It sounds like it might affect how they act in the overworld? But yeah, it looks like it's pretty much for digivolution.

How do I get Biyomon to join? Only Digimon in the first couple areas I can't figure out. Also it took me about 4 hours of playing before I finally found a Salty Fruit for Palmon.

 

[notaskwid]

What happened?

Game released on 27th, still hasn't shipped. Don't really want to cancel my order as it was made with a discount, but come on... I'm not even from the UK, I'll have to wait for international shipping on top of all the wait already.

I've emailed them and they came out with that 'you can buy from other sellers bullshit too'.

There's someone in Gamefaqs that is making an evolution requirement resource for the PS4 version. Its a community effort which gets edited everyday and there's plenty of info in right now which should help.

Here the direct link:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Y8HqrBiVhHreSTRKMNxeBu_eJwHRgiZkr08sV_nmaHY/htmlview

Source:
https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/196176-digimon-world-next-order/74916515

Evolution tip:
After you recruit GrapLeomon, he can tell you whether or not your digimon have reached the evolution requirements. FIX means they are set to evolve while H,M and L are how far they are from the requirements. A digimon with an H for his requirement have a chance to evolve to that digimon but they might still not.

Upgrading the "Digivolution Dojo" will give GrapLeomon an option to block evolution. For example, if you have digimon with FIX in all its evolution requirements then it will always naturally evolves to the top one in its digichart. By blocking evolutions, you can choose a specific evolution for it.

How do I get Biyomon to join? Only Digimon in the first couple areas I can't figure out. Also it took me about 4 hours of playing before I finally found a Salty Fruit for Palmon.

You need to continue the story and recruit Birdramon first. After that, you can talk to Biyomon and it'll join the city.

Also, is there any Trainer skills that I should be focusing on? Only ones I got are 3 in reincarnation and ones for each training type.

The defend skill helps in fights and the dev fully expect evryone uses it since bosses hits hard. The walker skills at full upgrade can fully heal the digimons HP and MP going thorugh the maps. Helps with exploration longevity and items conservation. The skill that give extra Order Points in battle increase Order Points gained by 20% which will help in getting finishing move easier and faster.

I can't seem to get back to Leomon. The Goblimon won't let me pass, he keeps giving me the message:

"Can't let you pass. There have been reports of someone suspicious around".

Any idea?

I had that happened to me once the first time I'm there. I came back the next day and he let me through.

Don't know why though and he doesn't block me anymore after that. Maybe it's late at night since it was when he blocked me.

Has anyone had any Mega Digimon that just would not poop at all?

I swear since my two Digimon digivolved into Megas they have not pooped once. My previous Megas didn't do this, it's really weird lol.

It was funny watching then argue over who was the coolest and stuff lol.

so the devil chips are random?

 

[SomePerson]

The game will be arriving for me sometime today but it'll be awhile before I actually play it.

Looking at the Digimon list, I can't help but feel fondness for many of the recolors that haven't been around in awhile. Tsukaimon, Piddomon, Saberdramon, and so on, it's nice to see them again. I never thought I'd see that yellow variant of Growlmon in a game like this and I'm surprised they didn't use the dark Growlmon too. Gururumon is one of the worst recolors though. Both the name and mild color change make it pretty damn hard to distinguish from the real thing and it was like that even back in the day.

Poor Airdramon though. That's two games now that he's been completely shafted. He's one of my favorite old school champions too. Megidramon never seems to get any love either.

I'm glad some of the Frontier mons are getting some love. I've always hated that they're largely ignored because they come from such a strange season. It always seemed like they could just slap regular evolution levels on them and call it a day.

 

[RockmanBN]

Can't even access my file. Getting an error.

"Could not load downloadable content. Please download from the PlaystationStore."

I already checked and the pre-order DLC is installed. Deleted them and reinstalled it and the problem persists.

I loved the world in the first Digimon World, with all the AC plugs, cables and electronic things that blended so well and, at the same time, stood out so weirdly that it gave the world that familiar yet strange look that made me feel I was in an adventure.

I barely played Reigitize, reached a forest or something that before my PSP died, but I didn't find the world as interesting as the world from the first one.

How's this one in that aspect?

Centarumon, Unimon, Monochromon, Airdramon. Some of the originals get overlooked unfortunately and most have cool designs.

It is very much reminiscent of DW1 for sure. Out of place technology is all over the overworld.

All of those guys are such central arts of the Digimon anime and games I remember when I was growing up that these latest releases have felt less nostalgic than they could be for sure.

 

[Lagamorph]

The Machinedramon in Dead End Town in Chapter 1 is utterly kicking my arse.
I've currently got a BlueMeramon and a Daomon but just can't beat him. If I can build up 150 OP then I can get him tonnage health, but he keeps using an attack that does about 7000 damage. It's massively telegraphed but it's not like I can order my Digimon to get out of the way or anything, and he uses that attack every few seconds so recovery items are utterly useless.
Mega Digimon don't seem at all reachable right now either.

 

[Airbar]

Just caved in yesterday and bought the game and am already 6 hours into it even though a college paper of 20 pages is due on Monday. Really loving it so far, prosperity is at 11 and the music is killing me with nostalgia. Only problem for me is the dual partner setup. I had a Hyougamon and a Meramon. My Meramon decided to digivolve into BlueMeramon but my Hyougamon decided to be a party pooper and died. So now I have a Tsukaimon and a BlueMeramon but can't really progress because my Tsukaimon adds nothing to fights. I have to wait for BlueMeramon to die. And this is killing me right now

There's a tamer skill that you can learn which teach the defend command. Command the digimon targeted by the attack to defend and it should reduce the damage to ~1k.

Is you digimons friendship level +90 between the two of them? If so, you can instruct them to use ExE evolution when both of them have 150 OP and easily wreck Machinedramon.

You could take this chance to train your Tsukaimon since a lower stage digimon will get huge training bonus if their partner is a higher stage digimon. For example, a rookie and an ultimate. The extra stats will help in evolving it past the champion stage. By the time the BlueMeramon dies, that Tsukaimon should evolved into an Ultimate which you can then use to power level the newly born digimon. You will have two powerhouses at the end of the day

I've got the first stage defend command but it seems to take a second or two to kick in by which time it's too late, plus I end up using all my OP defending and can never get a combination attack off.
The friendship between them is only 29. How do I raise that as high as 90?

yeah that kinda sucks. how much was the discount? if it was like 10 bucks then i wouldn't blame you for not wanting to cancel it. just wait it out, you got other stuff to keep yourself occupied eventually you'll have it.

Story spoilers up until the end of Chapter 3:

Spoiler

The story is now making me think of Digimon Adventure Tri with the whole virus thing and having to reboot the Digital World.

Also no one seemed surprised about Luche... at all I mean I saw it coming but no one in game seemed surprised at all. Lol.

Also the end chapter boss fight was tough. Needed to ExE digivolve to win.

The friendship between them is only 29. How do I raise that as high as 90?

The friendship is raised by giving the appropriate response when they ask for a respond. Praising when they win battles and after a training session, scolding when they misbehaves etc, slowly raises them. Generally try to raise them without too much mistakes; letting them rest when tired, feed them when they are hungrry, keep their happiness high, etc.. Try to avoid running away from fights since it reduce their friendship significantly. Their friendship level should naturally rise to 90 by the time they hit 9-10 years old. Haven't had any problems raising their friendship for three gen by following these.

As for that I fight, I just command the digimon that is targeted by Machinedramon to defend all fight long, essentially becoming a wall. While the other digimon wail on him and building OP to spam finishing moves. It took a while but at least it's a safe and consistent strategy. I do have my 2nd gen Ultimates for that fight which make things a bit easier since they naturally have higher stats.

What techniques do you have equipped on your Digimon? Also their stats would help. The Machinedramon in that fight is pretty weak, he just hits very hard. Finally, if you're with your first generation of Digimon, try wasting some time by training up stats like offence & recruiting other Digimon and let them die, the first generation is very weak, the game gets much easier after your first set die. Training up stats like offence will mean your next gen will have high offence to start off with.

 

[Lagamorph]

These are my second gen Digimon, my first pair of Ultimates died and now I've got these up to Ultimate.
I'll have to grab their stats and attacks on Saturday as I'm back on shift at work tomorrow so no time for games sadly

I might give that defend all battle strategy a go, he always seems to target Daomon and ignores BlueMeramon until Daomon is down altogether.

 

[sensui-tomo]

So a question about exe fusion, I've had 100 friendship for everyone and had 150+ for that thing and still wasn't able to do it, unless you can't at ultimate, is there a story point before you can do it or am I just unlucky? On my second gen now at ultimate and haven't had the chance to test it yet.

I've only had it done when both my Digimon died , but you need at least a Mega & Ultimate digimon for it to occur from my experience. Although I'd suggest saving before you let your Digimon die to test if they can Exe.

Yeah thats what I did as well, he does eventually target the other digimon though since its dealing the damage so be prepared to switch roles.

Guessing it's on a unique basis for lower levels ala exveemon/stingmon and angewoman/ladydevimon unless those don't work.

I was just about to ask if anyone else has had this happen lol. Is it a story battle thing or can it always happen?

e: so apparently it doesn't have to be a story battle. i guess just any death can trigger it . . .

Story spoilers up until the end of Chapter 3:

Spoiler

The boss being the enforcer surprised and intimidated the hell out of me. Kinda made me smile when my digimons held their own at the start before the boss starts dishing out 10k criticals. Noped into an ExE lol. ExEs are insanely powerful.

Critical hits increases damage pretty significantly that I kinda want to have a bigger Wis focus for my 4th gen digimons.

Gonna go for either Omegamon/Zwart or Susanoomon next. Hopefully their stats are enough...

I might give that defend all battle strategy a go, he always seems to target Daomon and ignores BlueMeramon until Daomon is down altogether.

Yeah, he pretty much focuses on one and ignore the other for much of the battle. Guess its the game telling us the existance of the defend command lol.

Be careful though as your attacking digimon might hop around into Machinedramon's laser and taking massive damage. My jaw dropped as it killed my MachGaogamon instantly with a crit.

---
As for the topic on ExE evolution, you can manually ExE evolve by pressing both R1 and L1 to open up the joint command menu. There you can choose between a double finishing moves or ExE evolution, both of which requires 150 OPs on your digimons. Do note that manual ExE can only be used once per day; don't know about the automatic ExE triggered by losing though.

ExE is available from the start I'm guessing though I only learned of its existance halfway through Chapter 2 when I try to recruit a digimon and loss. Learned the existance of the joint command menu and manual ExE halfway through chapter 3 lol. The ExE triggered from a loss is pretty useful when fighting a battle you know you'll die in the first second since the resulting ExE will decimate your foe.

Yeah my digimon did okay for like 5 or so seconds then I got decimated. If I had used the defend command much, I would have been defending the whole fight (or at least, would never get enough OP to ExE or Digifuse Skill).

My current megas are brand new with 4000+ strength and 3000+ other stats with over 20k HP/MP and I already feel like I'm going to have to raise new mons after I do more recruiting (i.e before the final battles which I assume will happen when you get near or to 100 prosperity points).

ExE can trigger regardless of if you've already done it that day when you die. It's just rare.

On the bright side, if you are facing a tough battle and are unable to ExE (if you've already used it once that day or are unable to gain enough OP before dying) you can take advantage of saving and reloading until it triggers.

Just be sure you don't have another fight afterwards because if you do, your mons will start off with 1 HP.

wow, got a lucemon by blocking the other four options. didn't think that would work since the stats are no where near the reqs lol

Yeah, I'm at that point of the game where the chapter 4 story dungeon is kicking my ass. I could presevere by plowing through with recovery items but that will make me feel really bad. Gotta do it the right way by raising them with love and care.

At the very least, I just want to rely on ExE for the final boss. That would make me happy and proud

I wonder what becomes of them after the fights at Faulty Ex Machina...

Is it worth grinding stats for a mega that is 2 days or so from death? Is it the generation number that determines how strong the next incarnation will be or are the stats of the old digimon reflected in the next generation? Both?

 

[RockmanBN]

Going to easy mode since I realized that easy mode only affects training. Rather have it be faster since they did increase the requirements in this version.

 

[Master Milk]

. . . . . . . so apparently blocking evolutions isn't guaranteed

i guess there's some other parameter that takes precedence over . . . the player using the in game feature to decide what happens . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Is it worth grinding stats for a mega that is 2 days or so from death? Is it the generation number that determines how strong the next incarnation will be or are the stats of the old digimon reflected in the next generation? Both?

The stats itself determine how strong your new digimon will be since it takes a percentage of the final stats. Logically your new digimon will always be stronger than the last since it will start with a better base stats. Plus each evolution for it compounds more bonus stats on top with Mega giving the most bonus when evolved.

The reverse type tamer skills further increase the percentage of stats inherited. While the evolution tamer skills increases the amount of bonus stats gained from evolution. The reverse type skills is a great investment when you see a rookie have ~1k stats on everything and the potential to evolve into almost anything.
