Fair point, sounds like an ok start to me though and hopefully she’ll get better as the series goes on. Speaking of, do we have any idea yet exactly how long Ghost Game’s going to last in terms of episodes?

Ah yes, the girl who had to be rescued by one of the major male characters in her DEBUT FIGHT and most of her decent moments in the series can probably be counted on one hand. Even Sora got more respect than that at least. As a character in general Izumi was ok I’ll admit, they just needed to give her more…you know, actual agency.

Interestingly, by that this point I know there are some places that were reporting adventure 20 is running for 66 episodes, so who knows what's up. Rudoku posted:The important part is that she isn't Orimoto/Fairmon. A low bar, but... I'm going to once again bang my particular gong and point out that literally all they would've needed to make Izumi a great character would be for her to win fights and be put over. Going purely in terms of character writing she was excellent, but framing is a fickle and nasty beast that must be fed carefully and it chewed her up and spat her out and now here we are.

Omnicrom posted:As of episode three she is definitely not Ruki/Eri level. Like I said she doesn't make a big splash this episode, there's nothing in it like Ruki casually blowing away a Lynxmon or Eri's incredibly bombastic entrance. While it's not like she does NOTHING about her situation, and naturally the tone of the series means they want to focus on her vulnerability, at the same time the episode focuses more on Hiro and Angoramon trying to help her than what she herself is doing. When I complained about the pacing that was part of it, it took an exhaustingly long time for the episode to get the point where she put on the drat digivice and the tension was primarily centered on Angoramon in that scene. quote:And in the interest of fairness I point out that all the things that made Ruki really great didn't come together until she had a handful of episodes under her belt and meanwhile Eri didn't become transcendent until we had a couple of episodes that confirmed that yes, the show was actually leaning ALL the way into her. I do think this episode was more to establish her and Angoramon as characters and their dynamic which is fine since this was their focus epsiode.

When they show the teams in the opening Ruli and Angoramon specifically have the most actiony pose to them, so I think she'll do fine when all's said and done. I do want to see what Kyoshiro and Jellymon are like together, though, they've been building that up since episode one. Justin_Brett fucked around with this message at 06:32 on Oct 24, 2021 |

Yeah much like Dokamon in Appmon; Angoramon is very clearly being established as the Powerhouse of the trio since despite the fact the he doesn't like fighting, he has considerable physical strength and knows how to use that strength if him beating Dracmon into submission is any indication.

I had a weird rear end dream last night that I stumbled on some obscure Digimon series from 2012 that was an actual Digimon Adventure 3 mainly following the season 2 cast but set in the real world. Something about viruses influencing Digimon and driving them to do out of character stuff Mostly it was going to feature Miyako- and that's how I had her name in my head despite only really calling her Yolie so that was weird- being tied to the villains and leaving the hero group, there was this Devimon that was teamed up with other Devimon variants until Angewomon killed him and was infected by the virus and joined the villains And one weird thing that even in my dream, because remember this isn't me dreaming about the show, this is me dreaming about FINDING this show and watching clips of it and poo poo, where I was, in my dream, scoffing about how much over kill Angewomon would be against a Devimon and then she just murks him, I KNEW was weird The show was a combination of anime and live action- certain Digimon were realistic, certain ones were clearly animated. And for the most part I think that was just Dream poo poo not really making sense and you don't think of it, but then Raidramon shows up, and he's humanoid for some reason, but its also clearly a modified Doggie Kruger costume from SPD/DekaRanger with Raidramon armor slapped on it. And even in my dream I thought that was strange. That's about all I coherently remember from it, other than Angewomon gaining a Holy Angemon Priest style look when she joins the villains. I think Miyako's dad was behind all the fuckery going on but I really can't say beyond that. Just that when I woke up, I could still vividly remember most of this, and went 'well that was a dream' because there was no way this loving show could exist and not be known about

Not a bad episode, Ruri (or is it Ruli?) has potential but isn’t quite there yet in my opinion (she’s fairly prominent in the OP though so that could be a good sign in terms of how much focus she’s going to get). Dracumon sounded familiar, any idea who voices him in this series (his first line sounded a little like Masako Nozawa but that changed once he started talking more)? Seems like he’s going to be something of a reoccurring villain at least. Larryb fucked around with this message at 17:03 on Oct 24, 2021 |

Of the three digimon that's been encountered and defeated, only Mummymon seems to have seen the light in not causing trouble (at least not in mummifying people) while Clockmon and Dracumon have both sworn revenge. So I'm relatively confident that they'll all show up for a round 2 of sorts when the team gets the ability to send digimon back to the

Also though it still sounds weird to me, apparently the new girl’s name is officially “Ruli”: The English name’s on the left side, you might have to zoom in a bit as it’s kind of hard to see at first glance.

I thought the episode was pretty good. Dracumon was fairly creepy and getting PicoDevimon's VA was a good call. Ruli certainly seems more capable than some other girls so far. I hope Dracumon ends up being a recurring Digimon like Impmon was in the early part of Tamers.

was feeling bored so I quickly whipped out a new one of my Sprite DIM Card charts, this time for Palmon; with the evolution paths past Adult as such; Togemon-> Lilimon, PetalDramon, Blossomon Kabukimon-> Blossomon, PetalDramon, TonosomaGekomon Ponchomon-> Arachnemon, Lilimon, Anomalocarimon MoriShellmon-> Anomalocarimon, TonosamaGekomon, Arachnemon Lilimon-> Rosemon, Lotusmon PetalDramon-> Ceresmon, Bacchusmon Blossomon-> Lotusmon, Rosemon Arachnemon-> Lotusmon, Bacchusmon TonosamaGekomon-> Bacchusmon, Ceresmon Anomalocarimon-> Ceresmon, Rosemon this one went in a slightly odd direction as a couple choices I wanted to use ended up not having Sprites available(either official or fan made), also I noticed an error I had made in the original template that I had to correct and I'll need to adjust the template itself in the future for this as well(as well as the charts I've already done for Agumon, Gabumon, Piyomon, and Tentomon) next one will probably be Gomamon and then I just need to do Patamon & Plotmon and I'll be done with the original Adventure partners(from there I'm leaning towards doing the rest of the Digital Monster & Pendulum V-Pet era Childs before potentially moving on to 02 or something)

once again was feeling bored so decided to whip up another of my Sprite DIM Card charts, this time for Gomamon; with the Evolution paths past Adult going as such; Ikkakumon-> Zudomon, Blizzarmon, Mammon Rukamon-> Whamon, Orcamon, Zudomon Mojyamon-> Blizzarmon, Mammon, Sagomon Depthmon-> Sagomon, Orcamon, Whamon Zudomon-> Vikemon, Plesiomon Whamon-> KingWhamon, Plesiomon Blizzarmon-> Vikemon, SkullMammon X Orcamon-> Plesiomon, KingWhamon Mammon-> SkullMammon X, KingWhamon Sagomon-> SkullMammon X, Vikemon this one ended up being really easy once I figured out the Adults, pretty much the only major twists were me deciding on Mammon for the sixth Perfect slot, and deciding on SkullMammon X for one of the Ultimate slots(originally was going to use Olegmon for it's slot but I decided the fan made sprite I have for him is kind of underwhelming), incidentally SkullMammon X marks the first time I've used a non "Native" X-Antibody Digimon for one of these sprite charts mostly because I felt it would work better than the regular version(prior to this I had avoided grabbing X-Antibody Digimon sprites mostly out of laziness but I might amend that now)

That is some excellent raw card advantage. If there's more X-Antibody support like that, it's gonna be the new deck to beat.

I really wish they'd just accept the game won't come out and move on to the next Story. If it was just constantly delayed, it'd still be bad, but also we have no real knowledge of anything being complete in it. As a matter of fact the last piece of information we got was the original trailer, afterwards, nothing whatsoever was shown. Not even screenshots, nevermind actual gameplay videos. It's hard to believe that all of these delays will actually accomplish something when they haven't given us a reason to believe something was built in the game during this time.

So far, Ghost Game has been pretty openly cribbing off Tamers for their partners: Gammamon is smaller Guilmon without the feral instincts, Angoramon is basically round Renamon, and Jellymon seems to be planned as a much more defiant and mischievous Terriermon. I’m not complaining, but I do want to see them develop more as individuals.

Renamon was a fighter through and through; that's why she and Ruki were partners. Angoramon has a MUCH gentler nature, which Renamon didn't develop until about halfway through the series.

I’m not complaining, but I do want to see them develop more as individuals. Other people talked about Angoramon, so I'm going to go ahead and quibble about the Guilmon comparison because saying Gammamon is "Guilmon without the feral instinct" is glossing over a hugely important distinction. In the first couple of episodes Guilmon was essentially a wild animal who seemed to barely understand what Takato was saying, at best he seemed to have some kind of baseline instinct to want to get along with his partner and as such their dynamic is really different from what's going on with Hiro and Gammamon. Hiro was introduced to Gammamon by his dad who told him the Digimon was basically his little brother, and the follow-up episode pushed that comparison with him being essentially a really excitable little kid. Gammamon is humanized in a way that Guilmon wasn't at first, there's a cute little scene where Hiro shows he has a notebook where he's trying to interpret the weird words Gammamon uses for things (i.e. chocolate equals "champion"in the subs), whereas Guilmon was barely verbal by that same point in Tamers. It's unclear where the show is going to go with Gammamon, but he has a rather different starting point from where Guilmon began. And as for Jellymon, if she is already around messing with Kiyoshiro invisibly (and she almost certainly is) that's also a much different dynamic than what Jian and Terriermon had. Terriermon was sardonic and loved to mess around, but he always deferred to Jian and seemed to have a healthy respect for him. When he needled Jian it's because he thought his partner needed it or because he thought his partner was wrong. As fun-loving as he was, Terriermon didn't really play pranks on people.

I guess you have a point. Guilmon was basically a big scaly puppy for his early days (he never fully grew out of that) and Terriermon was very respectful to his partner despite his smart mouth. That said, there is some clear inspiration from the Tamers Trio to the Ghost Game partners.

Wasn't that the whole reason Survive was supposed to be a smaller game by a different studio? To tide fans over while Media.Vision or whoever works on the next Story game? I remember them posting job listings for new creature modelers a couple years ago even. If they've truly not started on it I would be surprised. Edit: Yeah, here it was:https://www.gematsu.com/2018/09/new-digimon-story-game-in-development-with-ps4-as-base Habu in 2018 posted:“A new Digimon Story is also in development with PlayStation 4 as its base, but development is going to take a bit of time. With things like current hardware specifications and support for a worldwide release, development on a single title has become extremely time consuming." I do worry, though, that the longer the Survive gets pushed back the more inflated some people's expectations for it are going to become, leading to disappointment when it's not some huge, amazing game.

I know we got concept art, I don't think we actually got screenshots. And even if we did, it's hard to know if they're even relevant anymore as apparently the concept of the game has suffered changes along the way, which are partly to blame for the delays.
