it's weird that while digimon world next order is like mechanically a better dw game and lets you have more control over how you raise your digimon, digimon world redigitize decode has a better gameplay loop to me anyway. like in next order after a few generations and lifespan upgrades the digimon just Don't Fucking Die which is a real ordeal when it comes to actually completing the beastiary, and it makes it really difficult to estimate when to do important story fights and when to fuck around bc your fellas are about to die anyway. redigitize seems to have a set lifespan for your digimon that doesn't increase with generations, it's just base stats that do, and it gives you this neat about 15 in-game day cycle of raising your dude up (which can be done entirely in the gym) and exploring in-between if you need to adjust your stats carefully for specific evolutions. if redigitize had the evolution control of next order i think i'd say it's the ultimately better experience just for that tbh

#soda offers you a can #i think redigitize also requires less stats from you for beating the game #next order kind of. requires you to learn a very particular grinding system to be successful #which is basically fighting wild digimon for stats #but you have to fight very specific digimon at specific evolutionary stages and stat ranges to get the results you want #which gets very tedious after you've done it a few times #it's cool that it exists and lets you max out your stats if you want but it is So grindy and not That fun #the gym is nice because it skips time which makes your fellas evolve faster which is nice for beastiary purposes #and just. making the whole training thing faster in general #and it's unfortunate that right at the end of the game you have to just. learn a new grinding style that's kind of worse in a few ways #i don't know if redigitize has something similar #that said the gym training in redigitize is fucking ass in real time especially for the advanced levels #i would've probably ignored the higher levels if i was on a real 3ds bc they suck Bad #and are only fine with save states (kinda like the original digimon world's roulette training huh)#many thoughts about v-pet simulators tonight
