Digimon World is Still the Greatest - Casp 

I'd say yes, but I don't really know what I could say about fighting games. I tried to talk about Digimon fighting games in my WonderSwan video and the segments were a minute each. I'm sure there's a lot you could say, but fighting games just aren't my bag, baby. I won't say never, but it is very unlikely.

@@Caspicum do you have thoughts on Digimon World New Order?

I think it was one of my first PS1 games, so that's pretty much it hey.

@@Caspicum I still got my original copy for it I had shortly after release *granted its a copy and my ps1 is chipped lol

@@spyrojoe4721 same. Still got the original game after all these years.

Not very often

FF3(6) and Wild Arms are this for me.

yeah I agree. The closest we have is the ps4 game digimon world next order

I think the opposite entirely. I think that there's a lot of people who like them but its not really as accessible gameplay wise and I think after Survive constantly having your digimon die wouldn't be a good fit. The gameplay is more niche than cybersleuth with i think stuck with people better. But hey, apparently we can expect a big leak soon

This game literally got 2 direct sequels in this style of gameplay with Re:digitize on PSP and 3DS and Next Order on Vita and PS4 (with Switch and Steam ports later on)...

@@V-Jes And one of them didn't even release overseas

@@davidtowers1863 tho that did get fantranslations for both PSP and 3DS versions so it's not like it's unplayable for westerners.

Still the best digimon game ever created in my opinion. I know this isn't nostalgia talking because I've been playing it on emulator recently.

Yeah, would be cool to see a game that can manage both the digital pet simulator and the RPG aspects, maybe even some dungeons to crawl through. Is there any game in the series that comes close to that? I only really watched the animes, mostly Frontier, and I was curious to see which games to try and how.

exactly, the environment made this one so memorable

DW1 felt mysterious. Next Order didn't and I didn't like that they created a cut-scene for ults instead of a full on animation for them like DW1 :/.

Yeah that was my problem with next order, redigitized had some good areas but next order just felt ugly and boring for me.

It was hardly a waste of ink!

Same lol, I would lie and say it was for school. Also we kinda had to since it took an hour to get online and load the walkthrough in the first place so might as well print it to not to that again haha

No way it gonn top the OG digi world 1, wish they would make a remaster or a faithful remake of it one day

@@mladengajic8542 what's so good about the first game?

@@Yoe617 the art, the music and the feel. I know it could’ve been waaaay more polished and battles kinda sucks but overall its the best Digimon game ever Made

Facts

Well said, I agree entirely. I enjoy Pokemon and have been playing since I was a kid as well, but Digimon is and always has been on a whole nother level. If they had continued making games in the style of Digimon World 1 I could easily see Digimon being more popular than Pokemon in this day and age.

Straight up, I hate when games stop you from walking into tougher areas you shouldn't be at. You know the best way to figure out I shouldn't be somewhere? By getting absolutely rocked when I do go there. Lots of games allow you to make those big mistakes, and generally, they're the ones that people remember.

Yeah The pokemon now.. recovered every battle. Imagine old game where fight the rival and u hav to go to center to heal by urself

@@hspets4467 yeah and the bitch ass Blue always waiting you in the worst scenario, exploring left side of green city surprise! Battling team rocket? Surprise! Defeated the entire SS Anne and don't recover? Dead, defeated the elite 4! Congratz? Not yet, i am still here. The actual "rivals" ask if you are ready for a battle lmao and after defeat them heals your Pokemons

@@hspets4467 yea ok but that's just bad progression and delays gameplay. Doesn't make it necessary harder but makes you waste more time.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i'm so sorry

Emulate it.

@@darkstar1987lx Good option if you already own it

@CheckOutMyPokemons Better option if you DON'T. (Seriously though, PlayStation Classics IS emulation. As is playing discs on PS3. Even 75000+ model PS2s emulate PS1 games. Backwards compatibility is rarer than people think.)

@@KopperNeoman All the things you listed were legal ways to emulate the games. You wouldneed to own a copy (or digital rights) to play it

@@KopperNeoman Even more so since modern consoles don't seem to be doing backwards compatibility anymore.

It's a comfy kind of pain though, like pulling teeth.

I was so obsessed with this game when I was younger that I had mentally mapped and modelled at least 3 DLC's worth of additional content. Jam packed with new digimon, new neighbouring islands, a larger file city, Mega levels (of course), etc. All with that authentic DW1 feel and jank. Too bad Bandai didn't hire me at 10, I would've made them millions.

I'm a pretty negative guy, but I try my best to avoid the "negative youtube man" thing. People have shit standards and the overwhelming attempt to be positive is why everything sucks now, because nobody holds anything to a reasonable level. That said, Digimon World is still great, despite the flaws.

I was having a very similar thought just the other day about Final Fantasy Tactics, and how I grew up having a guide to it (and a few other games), and how often it's taken for granted nowadays that you can just look up anything you want. To the point where games actively rely on an online community to help find all the secrets and goodies in their games. It's really kinda neat to have gotten to watch/be a part of that transition.

really only learned how to experiment with things after emulation became possible and save states. Then I learned reverse engineering...

I followed the guide to go to that secret island to finish the end game and could never find the seadramon who takes you there so to this day even though its in every guide I still don't trust that it exists

@@poopghost9845 You have to fish Seadramon, it's that huge shadow in the lake.

@@bernardosantos6213 IT DOESNT EXIST DID YOU NOT JUST HEAR ME YOU BITCH

It's been a long time coming, that OG video makes me shudder. I hope I at least did it some justice this time. I don't watch anything I want to cover myself, so Digimon and most RPGs are just flat off the cards. Surely there's good Digimon World videos out there, right?

@@Caspicum I promise you there's not, lmfao. It's legit how I found this channel years back, was your old one (the one you hate, haha) was the only good one. This game flew hard under the radar. The only reason we even had it growing up was my older brother borrowed it from a friend who never asked for it back.

Child labour too

Digimon world 2 isn’t worth the time for a review

I never left, I just ran out of Digimon games to cover in English, and my Japanese is... bad. Legit, if they stepped up production or more fan translations came out, I'd be doing more Digimon stuff because I am so far down this hole I got stuck. also digimon world 2 is gonna be interesting, I hope it's not as painful as I remember it being :^)

I think the fact that it's not for everyone is what makes is special, you know? Here's this really awkward, bizarre experience that a lot of people are going to hate at first glance, and maybe even the second or third, but the claws sink deep, and it's hard to shake them.

I try to cater to people with god-tier taste.

I got pretty giddy when I saw the dark cloud footage too. That game is up on my top 5 games of all time. It didn’t get enough love for how great it is.

It's like a healthy addiction, and every so often you've gotta scratch the itch.

Emulators have made the experience so much better, I believe on my old psx emulator it had s fast forward and save state function. Absolutely amazing for games like these.

@@jamesbeeler610 Yeah, I used an emulator for it years ago and I remember that it did make it better. I felt bad about using an emulator and stopped, but I own the game and even if I didn't, Bandai Namco haven't done anything about the original; so I would love to emulate it again.

bro survive better be good, waiting for it has been a rollercoaster and i don't think i can take another hit

YEAH! Why isn't Next Order on PC?

More like the unable to progress past agumon defending that ogremon fortness 😭

I only play American versions for videos, so it's been a hot minute since I've played the PAL one. So many people have told me about that, and it's crazy. Apparently there's a way to glitch in there which you can do on legit hardware, and it doesn't seem *too* complex, but still what a devastating bug. also i hate the font of the PAL version.

RNG is there for a reason, learning techniques being anything lower than 100% acquisition means it's RNG, but a guaranteed rate, means you'd only have to fight the one encounter one time, or I guess twice if they have more moves, but instead of a generic encounter functioning as a generic encounter with a chance of picking up their abilities, it'd just become an ability-giver who happens to be a generic encounter. maybe I romanticize RNG a bit but I think it serves a very specific purpose, in giving each player a unique experience as certain elements cannot be controlled consistently. i had to edit this because I wrote it like a stupido and it made no sense.

I also love it so so much that the city actually changes with your progress, that makes it feel so much more alive! Games nowaday rarely have that as far as I know, at least not to that extent. The best example I can think of is the Tarrey Town quest in Breath of the Wild, which happens to be my favorite quest. All the later digimon games also feel so lackluster to me, the feel and magic of this game seems to just be lost with time :(

Digimon World: Next Order almost had it, but it did lack the absurdity of the Digital World in appearance. Some trees with plugs hanging from them isn't enough.

@@TheLarkaanimation next order was pretty good, I quite enjoyed that one!. The thing is though that there's just 0 polish to the newer digimon games, much like the pokemon games of late. It feels like there's no love put into it like a ni no kuni or a breath of the wild etc., you know?

@@BryanPhilippi I've seen gameplay footage of those games so I agree with you there. Though that doesn't explain Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds.

@@TheLarkaanimation I haven't played that game so I can't really comment on that one ;p

The OG feels like me trying to please someone, or to speak of Digimon World as though it's not amazing despite its flaws. This one was definitely from the heart. The original is unlisted, but it's still in the playlist for people who can tolerate it. I appreciate the comment!

I think Digimon World is one of those experiences you have to be ready for. If you're not ready to really commit to a game, and try to learn its bizarre, unintuitive systems, you're definitely gonna have a rough time.

@@Caspicum That's definitely true. I think Digimon World's reputation as an impossible nightmare prematurely cuts people off from wanting to take that leap.

@@digimonkaiser I feel like that has more to do with people not wanting to take the time to learn the game's mechanics more than anything else coupled with the fact that they don't seem to want a guide to be necessary to try to get the Digimon they want that turns people off to this game so easily. It's because of these things that people are quick to write it off and are more often than not confused about things because they aren't taking the time to try to understand them, which in turn causes most reviews you can typically find online to be more on the negative side

RU-vid has auto-fill comments which is the worst shit ever and one of them was "Tomorrow!" I wish I could get videos out that fast. The Survive video is happening, I've just got a bit of a backlog in the short-term of Arc the Lad and other weird crap I decided to put myself through... Digimon World is definitely misunderstood, even I'm still finding things out about it years later which is crazy.

Straight up, I've legitimately never played anything like it. Even Next Order and RE:Digitize are cheap imitations. They're good, but they're not OG good.

Re:Digitize decode is an actual canonical sequel to this one, and its the improvement over it, whoever I cannot lie, World 1 is visually unique, while Decode is just gameplay perfection.

lack quality of life are the reason this game good and challenging too many convenient ruin the mood of this game like they did in redigitize

@@tehonlynoobs5556 Re Digitize is completely fine, the one that was crap was Next Order, with the newbie forced mode that made infinite evo popups to tell you like a baby what to do in the game, even during the final boss.

I'm usually against remakes and remasters and whatever because something gets lost in the process. The original games usually have a level of charm that is impossible to recapture. However, I think these three games are so technically impressive but are held back by really minor, surface level bloat issues that a remake or whatever would do them some good.

@@Caspicum completely agree with you on how some games lose something when being remastered. Digimon World 3 would probably look the best as a remaster, thanks to how amazingly well it has aged with its sprite based graphics in general, but also that said, it probably needs a remaster the least out of the 3 games. I feel that it's only a matter of time until DW1 gets the treatment though 👍

Have you heard of the game Digimon Re: Digitize? It's technically an "improved" version of DMW 1...

@@vancelim8840 indeed I have, and it's so unfortunate that we never got an official release here in the west. I've thought about playing it through emulation and add a translation patch, but it just doesn't feel right to do so.

@@jb0258 this is the problem... there are lots of good digimon games, but only few of them are realeased outside of Japan....

Fingers crossed hey.

ty ty! The editing isn't flashy, but the scripting is always what I focus on, so if the script is bad that shows how much effort I put in :^)

It sucks that it's the best, but I don't think we're ever gonna get the inherent weirdness of a PS1 game again. Since a lot of the appeal is vibe-based, and modern games are so clean and spiffy, it's gonna take a lot of work to capture that charm. I don't think whoever is on Digimon right now has the chops unfortunately.

It has 2 remakes? When and where?

@@CephasTheWanderer There weren't any remakes, What we did get was games like Digimon World Re:Digitize which is game in a different (Although with a few similarities) setting with a different story. They're more like a sucessor to the OG digimon world than an actual remake.

Yeah the successors are too polished to capture that raw sense of exploration that the OG offers. They're still good games, but the jank is what gives Digimon World its unique character. I think even if you tried to capture it, it'd feel artificial, so I don't see Digimon World ever being surpassed unfortunately. Still Next Order was a fun time.

@@Caspicum Yeah there was something unique about the original, sadly I was never able to beat it in part due to the jank, and in part due to not being able to find what I had to do and just wandering around aimlessly.

@@Caspicum I love Digimon World Next Order, but I certainly wouldn't call it polished, at least in comparison to something like Cyber Sleuth. The animations at times feel very cheap, but that didn't stop me from putting in countless hours and beating the game 100% three separate times.

I read this and it went completely over my head, then I re-read it and had a little chuckle to myself. This is why I love youtube comments.

They'll get unlisted once the new ones come out, but I won't delete them, they'll always be in the playlist. They have to stay there as a reminder of past mistakes. Also a lot of people seem to like them, and I don't want to be a dick and remove something people (allegedly) enjoy.

ty ty!! if you got anything out of it, that makes me very happy

I also lost my Machamp to a fakemon sticker that was just a weedle underneath XD

I'm always here for ya, buddy. Remember, go for walks, enjoy nature, get your sunlight, stay hydrated, lift heavy, enjoy Digimon. If you follow these rules you will always be powerful and joyous. I want Survive to be amazing, but I'm keeping expectations low. Fingers crossed!

Thanks man. Love your videos generally, but a Digimon one is always a treat for me. I am keeping on top of my fitness don't you worry! And I certainly do lift heavy...by which I mean my enemies Mum's 🤣 I think some people have succumbed to hype because of how many delays there's been but I'm keeping my expectations low. That way if it's even decent I'll be happy. Live a Live just came out (fucking excellent game by the way, buy it and review it please haha) and there's no way I'll finish that before Friday, so if survive sucks arse then Live a Live will be going straight back in the switch.

You play Digimon next order? Or is that what you mean instead of Cyberslueth?

@@Thomastm33 never played next order but seen playthroughs and it looks ok but I hate that the city is already built. Cyber sleuth was just a drag to get into it never hooked me. The detective style story seemed super boring I read online that by chapter 10 it picked up but couldn't force myself to play it that long.

@@nexviro8987 Yeah the city being built kinda sucks. But it does upgrade in stages and changes a lot, DW1 style of rebuilding was better i admit though. Yeah Cyber Sleuth has to many side stories and plots. Takes very long to get to the interesting part. But once you do it is good. But can't recommend the long boring parts for anyone to buy the game.

Yes, later in the game. Keeps you from just power training.

I don't think I'm good enough at Digimon World to randomize it, but I am curious to see how that works. I'll have to look into it! Also, you're very unkind to my boy Billy... Maybe it's justified I don't watch a lot of review type content, but I do keep general tabs on who is talking about Digimon so I've seen him around. I have wanted to do Monster Rancher for a while, but the OG versions with the CDs because I feel like that's a core part of the experience. Monster collecting is my jam, so they're on the 'to do' list, but the 'to do' list isn't shrinking, unfortunately :(

@@Caspicum Don't get me wrong, Billiam's other content is usually pretty good, I just took issue with his review of Monster Rancher specifically because he spent the entire time trashing the game unfairly.

ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Never! I've been working on this one for a while just waiting for Survive to drop. I'm saving the rest of the Japanese entries for when my Japanese isn't extremely bad.

@@Caspicum looking forward to your digmon survive video I watch it on release if notifications on RU-vid work as they should which is never a guarantee and I'm not sleeping or working have a great one

​@devildark I've been casually 'consuming' Japanese media for a few years now and a couple years back I'd gone through both Genki books but some life stuff came up and I got rusty, so I'm looking to whip myself into shape very soon. I'll go through Genki again and I've got some intermediate level books to flick through. I've also been watching Peppa Pig in Japanese but I think that may have made me worse somehow and the show sucks.

Oh yes search for Digimon world unreal engine

Its such a good Game i dont can understand why they make No series from Digimon world With the Pet gameplay

@@tyintyout They already did 2 more after this...

Well, it hardly had any plot. There isn't much to remember, but it was just fun to play because of the game loop.

this game is so great despite their many attempts to remake the formula fails. talking bout re digitize and next order. i hope someday they remake this exact formula and expand on it.

Not even next order did it for you?

To be fair, there is some permanent progress. The stronger your Digimon becomes before it dies, the stronger they'll be when they're reborn, meaning as you continue to raise them and they continue to rebirth, they continually get stronger with every life, assuming you train them properly. Plus, all techniques you learn are kept upon rebirth, barring you die from losing three battles, which causes you to lose a few learned techniques after rebirth.

For me personally, it never really bothered me that your Digimon would eventually die and you'd have to start over from scratch again, as I eventually just came to accept that it would happen sooner or later. It also made me feel like I was getting a chance to learn more techniques I couldn't before by prioritizing a different Digimon after it was reborn, which in turn paid off later as it made getting Monzaemon, Etemon and Digitamamon easier later on since they all need 49 or more techniques to be learned as a bonus condition. And truthfully, I eventually did raise a Monzaemon and got him to live for over 20 days (I think he lived to something like 23 days before dying), and I got bored with having him after a while

The main concept of Digimon is the cycle of life and death. Removing that just turns it into pokemon.

@@jironamos7650 did you seriously just imply that the only thing that differentiates digimon and pokemon is that digimon can revive? You either don't know much about digimon or don't know much about pokemon. I guess both is also a possibility. LOL

@@CephasTheWanderer Not really, what I implied is that turning Digimon into generic rpg gotta catch em all number 1000 isn't good for the franchise identity, people always complain about Digimon being an underdog and at the same time shit on what makes Digimon original, that is, its massive dark lore, the divergent evolutions, overall maturity, and the fact that "HOw DArE YoU MAKe TOMAGACHI?"

Noooooooooooo that's not true at all. I briefly addressed this in the video itself, but people doom a bit too hard about how chaotic it is, it's really not that bad.

It's new for me that you can miss Garurumon The game was made before Digimon Adventure Anime. In my opinion, Digimon is the best when not following the Anime

I actually didn't know you could miss Garurumon either, maybe it's region-specific, or I've lucked out each time. I will say, I don't think the chance-based tech learning rate is necessarily a bad thing unless you're a speed-runner. It gives battles a reason to exist outside of Digivolution requirements and Bit acquisition. I've also never liked min/maxing RPGs, so having a 16% (i think) chance to learn any given move used against you is pretty generous overall. Maybe the rate could be a bit higher, but i wouldn't want to guarantee a rushed playthrough of such an expansive game. I also like that you're not explicitly told what stats are required for what Digimon. The game naturally gives you monsters based on your input, and that input isn't externally influenced (or at least isn't intended to be influenced) by a pre-defined metric, or desire. I've done some delving on that Ogremon glitch, and apparently you can glitch yourself into Ogremon's fortress if you open and close the lid on your PS1 at a specific point. It still shouldn't happen, and should function as intended, but that's a neat find either way. I don't think the power scaling is too bad, generally a decent Champion or any Ultimate will wreck shop. The final stage needs a beefy Ultimate for sure, but it's all still pretty doable. Like I said though, the grind can be a huge brickwall for a lot of people though, and I totally get that. All that said, a lot of these criticisms ring true for sure. The game ain't perfect, it's far from, but despite it all, it's an incredible experience you still can't get anywhere else.

The anime main cast is not in the game because the game was released some months before the original anime And to he honest, the game is using the digimons from the virtual pets version 1 through 4, and the pendulums digimon from nature spirits (thats why there is a tentomon island with hercules kabuterimon) Also weregarurmon is in the game, they never finished him, and is just a pair of legs that crashes the game

@@Caspicum I agree, and you raise good points. It is still a fun game, albeit a guide game, and riddled with nostalgia and good summer memories. However, it seems rather counterintuitive that certain digivolutions REQUIRE you to make mistakes, that goes against all good judgement UNLESS you are specifically reading a guide that tells you to, idk it just rubbed me the wrong way. And I´ll retract my statement about the whole move aquisition, if its a flat 16% then I just got stupidly unlucky. I also attempted to do the weird glitch to get into ogremons fortress but I could never get it to work right, idk glitches dont like me.

Well I'm glad you arrived, because I'm gonna tell you to play Digimon World a visit again and have a great time. Treat yourself, baby. Also the fact that you brute forced it with a huge language barrier is not only incredibly impressive, but shows that the game really shines in visual and other sorts of conveyance and that text is often over-relied on. That said, most native English speakers also couldn't tell what the text meant, so we were all in a similar boat.

@@Caspicum Yes! Thanks for the response and great video btw, forgot to mention it! The fact that even native speakers couldn't understand it properly is kinda hilarious tbh haha. Also, one of the main problems with DW1 for me is that many regions become pointless after beating the Digimon there (Toy Mansion, Ancient Dino Region, Overdell Cemetery comes to mind).They could have added at least a secret/rare item or something to incentive revisiting these areas

I thought the resting only stopped it for a little bit. Like, it doesn't reset it fully, it just gives you another one or two training sessions.

@@Caspicum The chair reduces it a bit, Centarumon reduces it a lot. IDK the exact numbers, but I remember noticing a huge difference between the two.

Great taste, patriot. Legit, Digimon World 1 is such a classic, it really does take 15 minutes to be wholly entranced.

@@Caspicum Yep, the game is super fun, played it probably 8 times (new game) since 2004, mostly on emulators though.

Hey, nothing wrong with emulators. If you're playing it, you're playing it right?

@@Caspicum Yep, what's nice about emulators is that you can speed up the game when you want to speed up the grind.

RU-vid either loves you or hates me

If you do, come back and let me know what you think. I only get alerts for primary comments, not replies, because youtube, but I'd love to hear what you thought of it.

@@Caspicum once I find the time for it! ...and also a way to get the PS1 emulator working decently on my blasted PC... But yeah, I definitely will!

Me too, tbh. I can't wait to get into it.
