The answer is pretty obvious to me. Considering that extinction is a sequel to nexomon 1, you'll miss A LOT if you skip right to the sequel. I think knowing the context of the characters is way more important than you're letting on here. I also never saw any thing in extinction coming even though I played nexomon 1 first. The story managed to be even better in the second game. On top of that, extinction is such a massive upgrade over the original that you might be disappointed and enjoy it less. To me you absolutely have to start with Nexomon 1 **and play the post game story** then play extinction.
I’d say play micromon first, it is a quick game with a lot of relevance to a major antagonist of Nexomon 1. In addition discovering more about Project Pixia is probably my favorite moments in any of these games
LOVED extinction, can't wait to play the original. I tried on the phone long ago, but I just hate on-screen buttons so much. Would love to see a third nexomon that has all the species in it.
I got the 1st Nexomon 2 days ago and am really enjoying it. It's safe to safe your videos brought the games to my attention and will lead me to also buy Extinction so thanks!
and the weird thing too is that the extiction is being sold at the same price as the 2 games bundle version that has the first on amazon fir 29 dollars with tax.
I'd definitely recommend playing Nexomon before Extinction, if only for the sheer amount of QoL features and horrible rarity/evolution system in the first (making low rarity monsters basically unusable late game), that make it super hard to go back to Nexomon after Extinction. I'm already balls deep in this franchise and I love both games, but playing Nexomon after Extinction may be off-putting to newcomers. You do make some valid points about certain story twists in Extinction losing their surprise, but I'd still recommend playing Nexomon first.
I start playing nexomon 1 like two days ago and will probably finish him today or tomorrow before starting nexomon 2 just before the Abyssal DLC! I love it very much so far!
Bought extinction this week based on this channel! Haven’t had time to play yet thou because I just finished monster hunter stories 2 which I highly recommend
I'm going to get Nexomon Extinction this holiday. As a seasoned Pokemon nuzlocker, I can't wait to play a game that encourages that playstyle! Depending on how I feel about Extinction, I'll consider Nexomon 1.
I haven’t played the first one, but I did watch a playthrough of the first one before playing Extinction. If the story is important to you, which I believe is the biggest selling point of the Nexomon franchise, you should definitely experience the first game’s story before Extinction. Where you can experience Extinction’s story relatively the same if it’s the first or second one you play, I think the first game’s story takes a hit if you experience it second. The biggest thing being the champions. If you go into the first game with knowledge of Extinction, you already know who the champions are and what their goal is. If you go into it blind, though, the champions are a mystery. And then when you get the reveal of who they are, you’re like, “What?!” Then you might start questioning everything you thought that the world of Nexomon is. Even at the very end of the game you have an insane reveal that is completely ruined by playing Extinction. Of course, you can still enjoy both stories in any order. If you have the choice, though, I say at least experience the first game’s story first. Great video, though, Ed! Nexomon definitely should become a hit, since the developers have an amazing world they have built. 🙂
If someone play nexomon extinction and never play nexomon 1 the game will make you think “wow, didn’t know the first version have this storyline” and that’s great if your new to nexomon
I played a small bit of Nexomon 1 a couple years ago on Steam. It felt rather clunky and grindy because of some of the mechanics in place (in particular how, no matter what, you HAVE to take hits when you KO an opponent). Normal types also felt really overpowered. I bought Nexomon Extinction and was pleasantly surprised that in terms of balance a lot seemed to have been improved/revamped. Since I already own the game on Steam, I'm unsure if I'm going to buy the port BUT I might take the chance to revisit it, seeing as some of my favorite designs from Nexomon 1 aren't present in Extinction and vice versa.
So my girlfriend isnt a gamer. At all. She enjoys me talking about games, but when I bought my switch about a month ago, she enjoyed playing on it too. A lot. So much so that three weeks later she bought her own. I had nexomon 1 and 2 installed and I told her to start with Nexomon 1. Since its the sequel. In reality Nexomon 1 is easy. Lets just accept that simple fact. I caught that spawn rate legendary right before the vulcano, she did too. Because of the rarity difference we both breezed through Nexomon 1. As of writing this comment I am in the tundra, she's at the beach. I didnt lose any fight with the champions so far because the game is easy. I played and completed TemTem, another monster collection game and that game is a lot harder. I told my gf to start with Nexomon not because of the story, but because she isnt a gamer and Nexomon 1 was easy to get in to, even easier than Pokemon and thats saying a lot. I rather she learns the basics of monster collection games, before trying her luck in extinction which, due to the features, is harder than Nexomon 1
Oops already started playing the second one not knowing it was a sequel. But when I found out there was a first one and it came out on console today, I bought that one too:3 I’m sure I’ll like both 👍
I played Extinction on PS4 and enjoyed it, but never finished the story. I plan to play Nexomon one on my Xbox Series S. I'll try to finish that game, then rebuy Extinction to play again on xbox.
I have played Nexomon 1 up until Nadine showed up. Then I put it down and when Nexomon Extinction came out, I played these sequel up until the end and then I finished Nexomon 1
I really hope they port over Micromon too. That was like the og original one and is shown and referenced in nexomon so its a shame its not been ported over as of yet but we can hopefully keep our fingers crossed and with time it will happen. I remember stumbling across Micromon ages ago back before Nexomon and adoring it with its slight twist at the end and being excited when Nexomon was announced
I played the first Nexomon, but just until a certain point, then, Extinction was released and I stopped playing the first. So after finished Extinction, I mean, I did everything I wanted and so I tried to look at the first game again. But, unfortunately, I ended dropped, because I really feel disappointed with the fact of the commons being useless, I don't actually mind that They don't evolve, but the fact that They'll always have bad stats is what makes me take one step behind with the first game. But that's just my opinion. So, if someone would ask me, I suggest to play the first game before the Extinction, due those things I said. But again, it's just my opinion.
I downloaded extinction and played a bit of it but the original peaked my interest so I got the first one and am currently playing it before Nexomon extinction later on.
Since I only just found out about the original a couple days ago I will be starting with the first one and once I enjoy it enough I will move on to the second one.
i bought first before i bought second on a deal which i enioyed the old simplistic style of like pokèmon which i like this style*with the game not being exp being to all nexomon*
I played nexomon first then extinction, directly back to back so its 1 big story for me^^ now platted both, hoping abyss update gonna have dlc trophies. Already looking forward to a 3th🤣🤣 Well, when i have finally ps5 i go do first nexomon 1 again😛 So my order is first nexomon, extinction, then first one ps5 version🤣
I literally finishrd nexomon extinction and i literally had a blast, quite literally the only monster tamer i ever finished (the coromon demo does NOT count.)- i had an extreme amount of fun with the story, i went through the whole game with the same three nexomon and swapped out the other three throughout the story- the tyrants were so cool, and all the nexomon designs were cool, my favorite being domigator- he might be a krokorok clone, but hes MY krokorok clone (can you guess what my favorite pokemon is?)
I am even slightly hoping the game before nexomon 1 follow to console to😅 Since in nexomon 1 they hint towards that hale and the 1 researcher was some computer program from it or something(we saw him only in nexomon 1)
awesome vid ed! I’m actually about to buy nexomon extinction for the 1st time on switch, but I was wondering if the switch version has randomized mode?
Imo you should play nexomon one first because nexomon extinction reveals the characters in nexomon one which can be considered major spoilers. In contrast knowing the characters from nexomon one spoils extinction's story way less.
Lol just started playing extinction before one didn't know 😢 jeje hey bro about tomomon what's next after you beat the meteorite dragon? Or after the championship tny? That's the end? Greetings and thanks ahead
That’s funny, because it’s also a plot twist in the first game. Either way, you will be caught off guard by the reveal in the game you play first haha.
I played nexomon extinction first and then nexomon ...i like they add 2 type ghost and psy . Where is darine water type and Titan rock type instead of psy and ghost 🙄
tbh i dont think its worth it for the secound one at least because whats the point on getting extinction if there still only 300 nexomon thats like saying why am i getting. Digimon cyber sleuth 1 if 2 only gonna have the same number of Digimon. with no new Digimon/evolutions
I played Extinction first (found it on console, didn’t know that it was a sequel) and then I played the first one. I decided to replay Extinction with custom mode, and boy, lemme tell ya. You miss A LOT of you don’t play the first game before Ex. The ghosts, Ziegler, Ivan, and maybe even the power rangers no clue if they’re related. Also a lot of funny actions and dialogue from atlas, especially when he interacts with the primordial tyrants.
Tbh if u played the normal nexomon first…you would already know that deena was omnicrons daughter, and you would have already known who the rest of omnicrons children were
Didnt like extenction because you have to rely on the items and healong so much. If my monster levels up, all his health and stats should restore. When the other trainer brings in a another monster, i should be able to switch without sacrificing my turn.
I mean you gain health and stamina back after every battle weather your nexomon fought or not as long as you have atleast 1 each of the health and stamina charms. The only thing I didnt like abt extinction at first was how experience share worked. But then I realized it allowed me super level up certain mon while using others and not over leveling them and raising the nexomon levels In the overworld
Why is this a video? You obvously play Nexomon first, then Nexomon Extinction. Extinction has tons and tons and TONS of nods to Nexomon that are seriously crucial for the bigger picture. Heck, I'd say you'd even have to play Micromon before Nexomon if it was still available, because it explains a piece of the ending for Nexomon (No Spoilers).
lol did you watch the whole video? I bring up some reasons for either case, and it also goes over the context of the game still being a month out. I played Extinction first and am still thoroughly enjoying Nexomon One. The basic context here is that a month is a long time to hold off, when it's not really that necessary tbh. But as far as micromon goes... It needs a console release too :P

This is just like how i played Pokémon Black 2 before Black 1 and completely enjoyed them, i feel like the same night apply for Nexomon

All I'm getting is that I should just play Extinction and read a synopsis of the original game. >__>
I start playing nexomon 1 like two days ago and will probably finish him today or tomorrow before starting nexomon 2 just before the Abyssal DLC! I love it very much so far!

The creature designs in Extinction are so much better.
Just got the first game today on console after playing and loving the second one
I also preordered prequel so can't wait
Thank you I was looking for a vid like this
Simple. Play whichever you want, there aren’t too many spoilers for the first game
If you want a natural progress in franchise, story, mechanic, etc then just play the first game then go to the sequal.
I'll probably do Nexomon first then Nexomon Extinction that way I can have a better context of what's going on.
Hey, I've been seeing you commenting on my Nexomon videos, just wanted to say thanks for the interest in my content :)
Love these videos huge fan of the two games been wanting to try to make a TCG for it.
I played a small bit of Nexomon 1 a couple years ago on Steam. It felt rather clunky and grindy because of some of the mechanics in place (in particular how, no matter what, you HAVE to take hits when you KO an opponent). Normal types also felt really overpowered. I bought Nexomon Extinction and was pleasantly surprised that in terms of balance a lot seemed to have been improved/revamped.

Take a shot everytime Ed says "That said". You will be drunk in no time. LOL
Great video though! Thanks! Helped me make my decision!
Hahahaha
Oops already started playing the second one not knowing it was a sequel. But when I found out there was a first one and it came out on console today, I bought that one too:3 I’m sure I’ll like both 👍
as the bundle pack or septaret?
Oh yes, corean subtitles, just what I need!
I kinda wished the First game came really early right before making the second but i Guess finally its coming
I played Extinction on PS4 and enjoyed it, but never finished the story. I plan to play Nexomon one on my Xbox Series S. I'll try to finish that game, then rebuy Extinction to play again on xbox.

Yeah Micromon as far as I’m concerned is the first game and it’s a trilogy. You are introduced to malk, and Ulzar in Nexomon is the MC from Micromon.
@@LethargicCarcass I think Ulzar was a person in the “real world”, not the virtual world of Micromon
@@finnoffer8539 the mc of micromon got transported from the world of nexomon into micromon.

Your videos have been very helpful to me on my nexomon journey! Also great background listening while grinding
I just got both games, I'm going to play extinction first and see if I like it-
i bought first before i bought second on a deal which i enioyed the old simplistic style of like pokèmon which i like this style*with the game not being exp being to all nexomon*
I currently restarted Extinction and getting lots of mons and trying to make my own team
Why did you restart? you could have just made a second save
@@masingita8708 first had to make more space for other games I wanted to try

A lot of did Berry 😅
Imo you should play nexomon one first because nexomon extinction reveals the characters in nexomon one which can be considered major spoilers. In contrast knowing the characters from nexomon one spoils extinction's story way less.
Nexomon 2 is the superior game in any aspects
After watching ed's playthrough i gotta say that the first has better Dialog and Comedy
Lol just started playing extinction before one didn't know 😢 jeje hey bro about tomomon what's next after you beat the meteorite dragon? Or after the championship tny? That's the end? Greetings and thanks ahead
I say Extinction because not knowing who Deena is makes the twist about the Tyrant Of Light reveal more special
Since I played Extinction blindy(not knowing anything about the First game) that caught me off guard
Oh great point that plot twist was magnificent because I didn’t know anything about the original game
That’s funny, because it’s also a plot twist in the first game. Either way, you will be caught off guard by the reveal in the game you play first haha.
The only Downside going from 2 to 1 would be thee absence of Coco 😭
I played nexomon extinction first and then nexomon ...i like they add 2 type ghost and psy . Where is darine water type and Titan rock type instead of psy and ghost 🙄
Soooo cosmic nexomon are only in Extinction?
I am playing 1 first because it costs less
tbh i dont think its worth it for the secound one at least because whats the point on getting extinction if there still only 300 nexomon thats like saying why am i getting. Digimon cyber sleuth 1 if 2 only gonna have the same number of Digimon. with no new Digimon/evolutions
This might be me going tot the wolfs den but…. Nexomon right now, Is better than Pokémon for me at least, comedy, plots…. Pokémon is missing this
Is there multi-player?
Tbf I payed extinction first cuz the first game was not available on console yet. 🤷♀️
You can easily play one before the other.
I'm here for shinies, what game is that?
Nexomon Extinction!
they need to put the the other games on console
You mean micromon? Cuz extinction is already :)
Well I’m in the same boat as you lol I’ll play Nexomon 1 and then I’ll try a randomizer run in extinction
I played Extinction first (found it on console, didn’t know that it was a sequel) and then I played the first one.

Tbh if u played the normal nexomon first…you would already know that deena was omnicrons daughter, and you would have already known who the rest of omnicrons children were

OG Nexomon always the best..
Data for nexomon extinction for android ????
Extinction is indeed confirmed for android if thats what you mean
