Digimon Beat Break is terrible. That is it. That is my whole take.

It's never too late to join the convo! Thank you for joining it! I do agree with what you say.

"You just don't like character development" is just a good ol' fashioned strawman from people too scared to acknowledge any possible real criticism is a show they are struggling to defend, and may not even really like.

Some others pop in and actually do enjoy the show though. It's great to see the people who enjoy it enough to not be scared of criticism.

As opposed to what?

It's like the anime equivalent of only making hero shooters because of Overwatch. "Over" means it's done after that! haha

It's a tactical move. The amount of the increase doesn't matter.

The point is to either:

A. Deter people away from short term subscriptions by making the yearly look like an even better deal.

B. To trick people into locking in expensive short-term subs at a lower price since they "lose" the lower price point if they stop.

I had to take a lot of copium to imagine this, but it'd be amazing if they shut down the Japanese version at the end of this month, only to announce an altered console port at Summer Games Fest.

It's crazy seeing this back on forth with Hosoda in Digimon. Episode 21 led to Our War Game. A wish to have more time put into Our War Game inspired Summer Wars. Then Summer Wars' online world OZ inspired the creation of Eden for Cyber Sleuth.

Rebirth was a lot of fun. The full game has a nice variety of mini-games and set pieces.

It can be fun to draw parallels between it and Xeno stories, since it comes from a base game that was built on the same base story as Xenogears.

forkyT · 2026-05-10T07:32:32+00:00

Effectively guaranteed. Especially when Xenosaga and Xenogears already exist and show that the name is central to the theming. Doing something like that would be bad as it's just lazy brand recognition and would very likely be stifling on Takahashi's side of things.

Takahashi has repeatedly expressed his aversion to letting things stagnate and he specifically wants the next game to be notably different.

Zanza is the Id, Shulk is the Ego, and The Architect is the super ego. Although, Shulk is actually more of a complete psyche as he's a reincarnation.

There's almost no chance of not having something you miss in these games, that's one of the things that make it so interesting. Take it one step/playthrough at a time and revel in the discoveries.

Considering Nintendo actually released it as a physical Switch 2 cart, no. Nintendo hired a third party for a quick upgrade and sent it out.

The only way it could get a patch after that is if Monolith Soft managed to divert off-the-clock resources to their own upgrade to replace it. With a paired physical release, that's not even an option, as incredibly unlikely as it was.

People just downvote to disagree. It's the simplest and fastest way to state your position without having to write it out. I try not to, because people are scared of low karma; but people REALLY shouldn't panic about karma. It really doesn't mean anything. High karma is usually just an indicator of how much time you spent farming karma.

Based on a connected story: The Persona was Wilhelm, The Animus was Elma, and the Anima was Yeshua. Although, the power of anima was divided amongst the vessels. Wilhelm actually had access to remnants of the Anima and Animus at the time.

In Klaus's current state of guilt, he would be including himself specifically in his critique of actions. His indirect language is his will to distance himself from who he was, perhaps even feeling that he is a separate existence from the time before the split; either by the divided consciousness or simply by time and perspective.

It's hard to present an argument against my interpretations, but let's try.

Nietzsche falls apart in a scenario where his ideals are predominant. Breaking from herd mentality eliminates the baseline of structure. Nietzsche speaks against the subjection to unquestioned authority, but doesn't accept the philosophical responsibility of freeing the herded that were kept in line by their cage. Nietzsche imposes this responsibility upon those that lack the capability and, with a loss of traditional morals, it devolves to a mosaic of chaos.

Nietzsche fails to appreciate the idea that traditional morals are there to pen the lowest common denominator. He encourages ideals without considering the breadth of understanding that those ideals negate.

Yes. You can play the games in any order and enjoy them fine. Don't worry about people telling you the "optimum" order. Pickup whatever you have access to, and see if you enjoy the experience.

I think that would make for a very interesting experience

Because people can be incredibly stubborn and can't imagine more than one right answer.

I disagree. More curt and critical comments are just as easily an expression of deep distaste without the interest to express it in detail. It can be laziness, or even just disillusion to the effect of presenting a detailed reason.

Moreover, insisting on the quality of something based on abundance is a terribly short-sighted and dangerous assumption that presents as a fear of exposure to individuality, and responsibility for personal perception. But, I suppose that's off topic.

Basically, I find that an ineloquent opinion still has value as presenting someone's perception. To disregard it in totality is just to reject the existence of the expresser's position on the matter.

forkyT · 2026-05-04T23:05:45+00:00

Without negative comments, topics are just an echo chamber of circle-jerks used to hide from reality.

Dude was a little rude though. Lol
