Probably not going to Platinum this game like I did the Cyber Sleuths cause one of the achievements is to beat the game on the hardest difficulty and tbh I don't really wanna play again, as much as it pains me to say that

Okay spoilers over. I did complete the field guide.

Overall: The combat is fun, aspects of the story are fun, but overall the story handholds really badly and there are a lot of plot threads that are either abandoned or resolved offscreen. I think my love of Digimon was the only thing keeping me going for a bit, which is a shame.

-the impact of the aegiomon twist was super hampered by the silent protag
-Inori feels flat, esp when compared to the cyber sleuth cast
-WHY ARE DIGI JEWELS "sell these for a high price" ITEMS BUT ALSO REQUIRED FOR A DIGI EGG??? Don't put "sell this" in the item description if it has ANY other uses

-overall, there is just way too much explaining what just happened over and over
-I feel insane that Inori's father was established as an antagonist in the timeskip and them he NEVER APPEARS AGAIN. It resolves itself offscreen and an npc tells you it's cool now
-this happens to multiple plot threads

Okay finally finished the game. Thoughts (spoilers!!!!!!):
-all the side quests being right at the end of the game kills the pacing
-the paper doll segments are beautiful and interesting looking but I really hate that 90% of them are explaining things that JUST happened in the story

MADE IT THROUGH THE WEEK WITHOUT HAVING TO REPORT FOR JURY DUTY YIPPPEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

YEAHHHHHH!!!! SOOOO CUTEEEEEEE!!!!!

Kuma using the Paw-Paw fruit to take my period cramps and give them to Sanji send tweet

YEAHHH same!!!

I think the the thing that really pmo is him constantly being like "Dr Yuki, your father who died" like I need to be reminded that this character is my father and also dead. I actually do listen and read the subtitles!!!

I can't believe he is interrupting me mid boss fight to remind me of Dr Yuki, my father who disappeared mysteriously. I'm enjoying the game a lot but it feels like it thinks I have no attention span.

if I have to listen to operator remind me about the shinjuku inferno or dr yuki, my father who disappeared, ONE more time

I really hope Gallantmon is rideable and he carries the player in his arms

WAAAAA CUTE GROWLMON IS RIDEABLE!!!!!!!

I still wonder how it looked to people that lived there to see two foreigners standing around talking pictures of a storage shed lol

Also I see that in the past 6 months it has been marked as a landmark on Gmaps and I just wanna say I found it without the map indication!!!

Right across the path from Guilmon's house is a shrine!!

Obligatory trip pics from last year of my Digimon Tamers pilgrimage (legit one of the highlights of the trip)

it makes me soooooo insanely happy that a lot of the beginning of Time Stranger takes place around Guilmon's house in Shinjuku Central Park

I keep being like "I've been there and it looks just like that!!!!!!!!!!"

I completely missed the post it note on my secretary's desk that had the door code written on it, I just literally got to the door and was like "if this door code isn't 0451 I guess I'll just stop playing video games forever"

oh you KNOW I'm playing a system shock spiritual sequel when the door code to my office is 0451 and there's a piece of technology called a "Looking Glass"

ftr I really liked the food at the cafe and had a good time but having no chopper or usopp items on the menu while having an item themed after a NON CANON FILLER CHARACTER is crazy to me LOL

me, a manga only, looking at the menu "who tf is banban??????"

still thinking about how the Zoro donut at the One Piece Cafe is a chocolate macha donut when chocolate is literally Zoro's least favorite food LOL

I would say Sanji planned it that way on purpose to piss Zoro off but he cares way too much about wasting food for that imo

ohhh I can totally see that honestly!! definitely some common themes of ais attempting to preserve humanity and like....... is a copy of someone's consciousness still them and are they alive?

it is!!! I am such a weenie about being startled but I am glad that I finally worked up the nerve to give it a try cause there is definitely some great existential horror in here, it's very good

I know I'm like a decade late to the party, but I am finally playing Soma and jesus christ does it know how to continuously ramp up the ethical dilemmas. Every dilemma I have encountered is more fucked up than the last. It's very good

bad day? yup, wheel out the emotional support sanji crying collage

totally above board business merger with no organized crime ties

People that use Harald and Rocks saying the Marines are just doing their best in recent chapters as reason that maybe the Marines aren't THAT bad seem to be completely forgetting that the flashback we are currently in is the "find out how/why the marines killed Harald and Rocks" flashback
