The music, world, concepts, and story were all pretty good to great. The gameplay was the issue. Backtracking, slow battles, and extreme grind held this back from honestly being a would be gem of the era.
the travelling across maps just to trigger an event with no clues most of the times is excruciatingly annoying.
And don't forget the loading screens.
As someone who almost finished the game. I totally agree
Playing on handheld rg35xx emulator at 3x speed and save states (to backtrack from dead ends) and it was still a slog. I say that as someone who loved this game as a kid, but cannot stand it now. Even the online guides missed several details and it's understandable why - no one, not even guide writers, would have the stamina to attempt 100% every inch of this game blind, especially when not on emulator.
@@thesidneychan Yeah. Even the official guide I had as a kid skipped a lot of stuff and info. lol Game is just not to be touched without the QOL enhancements that come with an emulator. Honestly surprised this made it through playtesting as is.
Oh man I really hated those backtracking sections and no fast travel but I still really like this game. The card game was definitely addicting . Nice video man!
omg, that title screen music. I was like 7 when i first played this game and i never got the chance to beat it because my disc was broken when left it on the floor but man i loved this game. I need to "find" it somewhere and finally beat it
its unfair how pokemon has so much love when they try so little
I regret not playing the third digimon world, the box art always drew me in on those weekends at blockbuster but i always ended up getting something else
How many hours did you spend in the inn chilling with Terriermon?
Me: Yes
I wish more RPG's like this would've implemented the Earthbound method of auto-defeating enemies that you vastly outclass. Anyway, great review.
Oh boi, this game was soo much fun 20 years ago when I got my hands on it for my PS1, I played the original one, I had no idea there was the 2003 version, that being said I'm still upset I got stuck around lv 65 tamer where after beating a boss they wanted to me search something, but I had no idea where to go, I went EVERYWHERE, talked to every NPC, and nothing, gave up and tried to come back like 4 months later and I was lost, then tried to play it again on the PS1 emulator, this time just using the game shark because it came to the back of my mind all the back tracking, and then the save file got corrupted 💀, and well I'm 30 now and barely have any time to play games like this, amazing video, been binging your other videos about GTA and red dead.
this game is wild since one digimon can have all digivolutions, as long as you grind it to max digivolution level of every digivolutions you have.
I ended up finishing this game by using only one digimon but grinded and trained it until maxed out.
I beat it a couple times. Always ended up using 1 digimon because the digimon level up at such different rates. I always just use the fastest one. Agumon is so slow
@@fangiscool1 I finished this game with Agumon since it's my favorite rookie from all of the available rooster.
@@detergenb29mine was Guilmon, Gallantmon is lit AF. also Veemon too. Imperialdramon Paladin Mode is LIT AF too
I never beat this game when I was a kid because the amount of grinding required in late game was so ridiculous, at least from what I remember. That opening cinematic is awesome though.
Just discovered your channel been going through your videos Its nice to discover channels that review older jrpgs
This game will always be a cherished childhood memory of mine, particularly since it taught me how to speak English (by reading the guides)
This game was so exhausting. Beat it finally a bit ago on my third or fourth go at it.
Basically had to emulate it eventually just for the speed up to get through the insane backtracking, lol
It's fun to grind up your team and get some of the more rare digivolutions, but the padding, as mentioned in the video, really makes it hard to appreciate properly
I really hope with all the re-releases of Next Order, there'll be another game like it and the original Digimon World soonish.
That's a formula that works, imo. Just a charming game for Digimon fans and people who enjoy grinding a bit more to get somewhere in an RPG/Monster Collector.
I would pay whatever they wanted to be able to pre-order a Digimon world 5
I played this game SO much as a kid and I totally forgot about it. No wonder I’m a glutton for RPGs nowadays. Definitely going to go back and play this, thanks dude
My only complaint is no impmon, gabumon and terriermon in game. Cherish this game though. Never beat it but currently soloing with Kumamon. Just started sepikmon mask and already have Grapleomon. I made it to gym three with guilmon solo run before but that fell apart after a long wipe to byakko gym.
🤔🤔🤔, the rookies don't matter much. They can learn different evolution trees. Beezlemon is an option to have, so is GranKuwagmon
Yeah I had Digimon World 2003 as a kid (Australia so meaning we had the PAL version). And yes, everything you said about the post game is true. You also get the opportunity to card battle much stronger opponents and have to hunt down extremely rare cards to win these battles. Asides from that, you have to have upgraded the ancient weapons in order to fight the gym leaders in the post game. Once you beat the Amaterasu gym leaders you can then fight Kurt, the World Champion (whose battle theme is really cool).
Yeah, this game is fun but by god, the padding is horrendous. It does have improvements over the previous two games but there are things I feel would've been great. One thing I loved about Digimon World 2 is the ability to basically train up any digimon you could enocunter. In Digimon World 3/2003 you can only train certain digimon and get certain evolutions. Ironically enough, every rookie can get all evolution lines of all the other rookies.
The music definately shines, it does also include some tracks from Digimon World 2 and Digital Card Battle as well. I do really love the environments you travel through but also the backgrounds whenever a battle occurs. Also the card battle minigame is addictive af. I definately agree with what you've said here.
I recommend this game but only IF you have an emulator.
Maniac pack... Man that brings back good memories!
I chose it because of Guilmon and somehow my younger self was able to recruit Agumon and I beat the last boss with my Gallantmon and using Omnimon DNA Digivolve spamming!
My favourite was always the balance pack!
Patamon and Renamon are definitly my faves out of the selections and Kotemon is just cool. Who doesn’t love a masked Botamon/lizard guy with a big kendo sword?
You got a new sub! Man, oh, man... I've put more than 100 hours into this game just to finish it! The grind in this game is crazy
This game's aesthetics and the music are very pleasing and feel quite close and faithful to the anime series
I still haven't seen all of the digivolutions :[
me and my cousins got up to where you see poop monsters, idk how we did it without guides back then
To be fair.
The Pokemon game quality has always left something to be desired.
It was nice to pay a Digimon variant that's more JRPG than gimmick, like Pokemon.
17:40 and with that single joke, you have earned a subscription. .hack doesn't get enough credit.
A petty, nerdly part of me rages every time I describe it and people respond with "sounds like Sword Art Online".
This game was great, but the load screens and the lack of actual communication on “what to do next” in the story got to me. Like I made it back, beat the big bad the first time and then was soft locked out of the main city in the flip side world.
I finally got a new computer after years of wanting to replay this game and I got so excited.
Just to remember how brutal this game is if you don’t spend actual real life hours just grinding. At least in the beginning.
Ive never beaten this game, but I will! It’s so fun and charming~
i remember overstacking my digimon to nigh-untouchable levels of stats, level and digivolution. level was the goal and i wanted to win
i hope this game get remaster or remake, and these are what i want:
1. fast travel!
2. more playable partner digimon (especially gabumon)
3. exclusive digivolution line for each partner digimon
4. completely different map in ameterasu server
5. player gender
Add a better game design. The techniques were almost useless for most, bad magic attacks, bad ultimate abilities (bad scaling, base attack does the same, if not better). Also the experience curve was so bad, especially for digivolutions. The formula used is very bad so it takes ages to level up evolutions.
Fun fact: The Card Shop in the game is a nod to the real life chain of Japanese hobby shops Yellow Submarine, that's why Divermons man the card stuff.
I’m amused that you called it File City despite the “File Island” correction in DW1’s retrospective.
I used to play the Digimon world trilogy on the ps1 all the time as a kid. I think 2 was always my favorite tho.
god I remember being an idiot kid and couldn't for whatever reason find the exit in the bottom right in that first field area with the gym. ended up spending a few weeks grinding around there and the beach area nearby until around level 20 before I found a strategy guide in a bargain bin somewhere downtown that showed me the way.
I would always save before the training so i would always get max. Restart until done.
the title alone summed up my thoughts on this game enough I just liked, subscribed and am NOW about to watch.
I think the first person who've came up with "Trapped in the VR online game" story was Tad Williams and his "Otherland" book series (1996). Though "Tron" has been a thing since 1982, and the theme is pretty similar.
Digimon world dawn/dusk took a lot of elements from this game but made it for the better. loved the exotic Digimon you could digivolve for
Dawn and Dusk took from DS, which took from World 3.
Loving the Digimon content! Hopefully u do cyber sleuth at some point
Love that Metal Gear joke at 18:25 !
Ahh, the 8lue card. Now that brings back memories
Pffft the SOA transition into .Hack joke had me rolling.
This game really didn’t have faults imo. It is what it is. As a 13yo this was the greatest thing I could imagine a digimon game to be. And it was. Still better than Pokémon today hahahahaha
Genuinely think way more Pokémon should have branching evolutions or things from stats that influence it like Digimon does. While I love both as they are, that would be a needed improvement for Pokémon at this point.
I know a lot of people hated the backtracking, but as a kid I didn't mind and as I replay it now I still enjoy it and my first playthrough I only over-leveled one Digimon, i've been replaying Digimon 2003 and i've been leveling up all my Digimon and i'm loving this game even more.
You're right about the Card Game, it is addictive can play it for hours and not bother with the plot.
Favorite Digimon game: Digimon World 1
Favorite Digimon season: Digimon Tamers ❤️
I had this game at launch and remember thinking the loading tiles that pop in and out were a glitch in my copy of the game. Drove me nuts and I stopped playing.
I think you did an amazing job so the work you did with the script really paid off. Reminded me alot of majularr. Thought of playing the new Digimon world game?
Spot on review. This is a game that has so much of its potential ruined by the padding. But then again if you look at the game again and remove the padding you'll notice the game just isn't all that long to begin with, so it was padded out with making the player backtrack after basically every main story progression point. This is game that can only be finished nowadays with an emulator to speed things up and a guide on hand to avoid having to search every area for the NPC you need to talk to cause the game is so cryptic on how to progress. How anyone could have complete this in 2002 on their own is beyond me, as a kid I got as far as Zanbamon's roadblock somehow.
Gex toon town level also has a song that sounds pretty similar to the confusion song that has stuck with me for a while
Great video series bro
Man, I played for HOURS back when I was little. In recent years I went back to it and to be honest, I really hated the backtracking and the random encounters. It feels like Pokemon is the only game that has repel. Not to mention, no objective markers. I'm sorry, if I go back to a game that I haven't played for a long time, I want hints to refresh what I should do next. Not this game. You'll go back to it, and wonder, where should I go next? So you go anywhere, forced to fight and run from battles, trying to find out what to do next...
This is genuinely one of my top games of all time. There's something about the jank and the backtracking and the world design that got in my head as a kid and that I just love nowadays. Yep, it's padded and grindy and all the rest, but somehow I just love it.
Also 2003 (as opposed to 3) is better in that it has more of the postgame content and fixes a bunch of little things that actively make the game a bit better. The US version got a lil bit gutted and let down- rather happy to not be American :P
In spite of all it's issues, DW3 is still one my favorite games from back then.
I love the Suzaku City theme. It's my favorite song in the game.
Ah, my absolute favorite game as a kid. I wish they did a Digimon World 3 Re:digitzed like they did with the first game. Or at least just do a remake with some better 3d graphics
Awesome video!
in fact
you can edit your card deck
through pause menu
Only real problem of this game was the lack of fast travel
I prefer the 2003 EUR release that includes Post-Game content
best music and art... rest not so much
Wow, interesting.. you said that this game came before the season 4 aired.. but some of the main digievolutions from Digimon Frontier are in Digimon world 3 as DNA DV.. did they tease them here?
Felt digimon had no real explaination on how to play it. They just threw you in there with no tutorial. I loved this game also love the mechanic of being able to digivolved to the next level once you fill the meter
You know I baited myself so hard as a kid with Digimon World 3 even though I owned 1 & 2. I thought the battle gameplay would be more like something from super mario RPG with the art style that the overworld had, but it had that ugly, slow 3d animated aesthetic. Which is why I said I baited myself because the 1st and 2nd game had 3d for the battle/gameplay systems so why would the 3rd be any different.
Sadly digimon didn’t have a good renaissance . Sadly they made the anime on season 4 on weird channel on a weird time . And it faded out
bro was a blast to play the again like 7 times is a pain in the beginning some times because back a ford but it is okay and the battle cards gud stuff
I actually think they did a better job then pokemon and was DEFINETLY HARDER wayyy harder then pokemon. OmG I was stuck on some boss battles
These 3 video where really good!
please do play the other games! Especially the ds ones.
17:38 I legit reacted with...
"STOP... this predates that-- 🤣🤣🤣 THANK YOUUU"
Sword Art Online may have popularized the whole video game-isekai genre into the stratosphere, but all it really did was take alot of inspiration from .hack and seeing it get mentioned out of the blue like this made me really happy so thank you for this genuinely funny part in the video.
(EDIT: Just saw the Tron mention, Double Thank You.)
The world of this game looks so much more beautiful than Cyber Sleuth's
I want to replay this just for the card game 😅
I wouldn't mind this game getting a good remake or at least a complete remaster, with quality of life changes and the removal of those loading blocks.
12:28 PTASD the grinding is insane even in a emulator
My favorite was world 4. Though that may be due to not understanding world 3 as a kid and not figuring out how to heal my digimon
Good stuff! Veemon FTW
Training at the Gym is not random. if you hold X while your digimon is trying hard its almost a guaranteed success
This was my favorite game as a kid.
Nowadays, ill pay more gmfor games if i think itll help convince video game executives to make more of them. Digimon, monster rancher, dragon quest, ill keep on buying them when they come out. I used to wait until i could get them for cheap, but id rather have new games than save a buck
Compared to DW1 the backgrounds may be higher resolution, but they are less stylistic, detailed, and organic
While gameplay is kinda similar to Digimon World 3, if because they're JRPGs, the Digimon World DS games (or Digimon Story games if you prefer) have a sort of different style to them for the combat. You'll probably like them if you found Digimon World 3 to be fine
I am proud I've finished this game in my childhood
TWICE
Digimon World Data Squad is pretty linear, focuses on a very basic/boring story with few side quests and its clearly designed for kids. BUT one of the things I really liked is how evolutions and unlocking evolutions work, you have "constellations" where the base digimon can evolve to a bunch of different digimons, and each of those have requirements that go from very basic to fighting boss battles, in a very real sense it's like an achievement system to unlock all the evolutions.
I never made it to Suzaku city, and I can't have been the only one. I got stuck at the mud jungle (I guess looking for the mask?) for weeks as a child, unable to figure it out, until I eventually gave up. Which is sad, because this really was one of my favourite games. And I could play with Kyubimon, probably my favourite digimon!
That quest is one of the longest backtracking quest.. I also almost give up on it, until I brainstorm w my whole classmates to solve it.. haha
that stupid bit where the trees cover the path to the ruins... Wtf is that about lol
I can feel the bias(pokemon). Nice vid though.. 😂
theres a weapon that adds hp drain, so some weapons have effects.
One of the things I love most about the Digimon series is that they are kind of a wild card. Both the games and the anime felt like experiments, many of which have their own glaring flaws and moments of brilliance. Almost diametrically opposed to Pokemon's often very focused and predictable method. Not better or worse, but an entirely different philosophy.
With Digimon Survive coming soon as a tactics game, it still makes me smile that they are still tinkering with the formula years later.
get this man more subs
Hey Fuzzy I dont mind to pull you from the grind but do you remember what determines the ai level of the card battles? I started a new game and grinded to level 40 with speedup for an hour and went straight to the card shop and the beginning duelists had mega level cards... >_>;
It has to do with your digimons charisma doesn't it? lol
22:00 imagine thise whole sequence, but you are 9 years old and can't actually read english as it's not your mother language. Yup, I brute forced my way through it, speaking to everyone (human and digimon) each time something different happened.
This game was awesome. But I could never finish it. The motherboard maze, the slow pase of Digmon, it just got me bored out of my mind. Always quited like an hour away from the end. Really great game tho. Even the card game is fun.
extended maintenance means no one can log out. that means its a real place not a visiual thing
on psxe you can just fast forward while fishing to get exp
fly high cs r.i.p
You should play the DS games. Great games. And don't sleep on Digimon World Championship
Somehow i feel that your game looks more detailed? can you tell me how u upscale the game?
This game is fire. Loved it.
Are somw things just vague and not explained well at all... yes. Do you gave to backtrack time and time again... yes...
Is it the best digimon game until syber slueth/hackers memory... yes.
I loved it , they didn’t explain evolution trees well at all . But was so good 😊
My childhood 👍👍😆😆
The Pure Mega Should be on 30. Just that. Oh yeah the mission, Early Mission Need to go The Fartest map and back to First Map without shortcut lol
digimon from ds, if you want to compare to other digimon games, is more like digimon cyber sleuth, but not that good in my opinion.
My fav game i wouldn't replay
Are you going to do other Digimon games ?
if you keep using the mega man legends 1 ending music, youre gonna keep making me cry
For grinding, just go to the crystal gym and fish there and fight Scorpiomons. They also drop TP Chips.
i REALLY wish the card game opponents were random. They get the SAME hand and play the SAME strat EVERY TIME you battle them.
Can emulation quicken the loading?
