Traded a bunch of old games for a used copy of this, I love my big bug buddies

thanks so much for responding to my ask about Ryo x Minoru!! the stuff you wrote was so cute, especially the “this could be us”picture (I 100% could see Minoru sending that) also the idea you had of them kissing because they thought they were gonna die…your mind omg. I could also see them doing one of those “thank god we’re alive” kisses where they thought they were gonna die but when they live they’re so happy and that the other person is happy that they just. smooch lol

also I did see that other post you made about them and I loved it! but it’s funny that you see everyone being shocked when they say they’re together because I hc that they’d both be super obvious even when they try to hide that they like each other (esp Minoru, the word subtle isn’t in that boy’s dictionary). if either of them confided in Kaito for whatever reason, I can 100% picture him saying in the most deadpan voice, “congrats, you’re officially the last one to know.” I think it would specifically be obvious because they’d talk about each other all the time, even if it was about things that “annoyed” them and then trying too hard to play it cool by immediately following up with “not that I care about him or anything!!!1!” or something like that.

I just think they’re neat and I’m honestly surprised that there aren’t more people who ship them. like they spend a good amount of time together, they both have come running when the other one is distressed, and I also noticed that falcomon is the only kemonogami who can understand kunemon, and since the kemonogami represent their partner’s hearts, I feel like it shows that they both understand each other. also if Minoru gets captured by dokugumon in chapter 1, ryo will complain about Minoru being a pain, which makes Minoru mad, but falcomon reassures him that Ryo’s just making such a fuss because he was worried about Minoru (which Ryo denies and gets embarrassed over ofc).

on a less serious note, I feel like they would be kinda like those two old guys from the muppets once they start dating where they bond over roasting other people/each other. I also get reminded of them when I see that one post where it’s like “I had a crush on someone in my class and didn’t know how to deal with it so I just wrote a letter that said ‘get out of my school.’” like they both are soft™️ on the inside but have such a hard time expressing it.

sorry i totally rambled about them but it’s just nice to see someone else who ships this rare pair!! i wish more people enjoyed it/wrote about it! I literally made one of those dumb comic sans powerpoints about them one day because I was bored and because digimon survive hyperfixation™️ and because i freakin love them. so thanks so much, i really appreciate it!! 💕

Y'know what anon, I see the vision. I see the poorly concealed crush disguised as annoyance. Them thinking everyone would be surprised only to be met with "guys we literally all knew." I love that we both decided they would not shut up about each other though XD

AND DUDE YEAH I LOVE THAT SCENE. EVEN IN THE BEGINNING WHEN THEY DIDN'T GET ALONG WELL AT ALL RYO WAS STILL WORRIED ToT

Also 100% in love with the idea of their partners being a reflection of how well they get each other. You're so big brained aaaaaah.

They absolutely would talk shit together lmao. Mean old ladies on a porch swing except they're both teenage boys XD Also why are they actually both the "he's bullying you because he likes you" one in the relationship ToT

I am dying to know about this powerpoint lakdjfakj I also am surprised more people don't ship it tbh like at least for me they are like THE pairing from the game that falls the most into my usual preferred tropes. Annoyances to friends to lovers. Sunshine x grumpy except they're both a little grumpy. "He's an idiot but he's MY idiot." Rowdy boys. "I hate you (affectionate)." They're so good together. They should kith.

ALSO BC YOU SAID "not that I care about him or anything!!!1!" YOU REMINDED ME OF SOMETHING NOT QUITE RELATED BUT FUNNY ENOUGH TO SHARE. ONE TIME WHEN I WAS COHOSTING MY FRIEND'S SURVIVE STREAM, I WAS VOICING RYO, AND SOMEONE CALLED HIM A TSUNDERE, SO--

I should provide further context that she has a point redeem for talking in a high pitched voice so that's why we were talking like that lmao.

AND ONE LAST THING: DO NOT APOLOGIZE FOR RAMBLING I AM LITERALLY SO THRILLED TO READ SOMEONE ELSE'S CUTE HC'S ABOUT THEM <3

For the character ask game: Ryo Tominaga

First impression

I didn't really think much of Ryo ngl, I think it's cause I knew he was going to die due to him only having one line and since he died pretty early I didn't really connect with him much.

Impression now

RYO BELOVED! HE'S SUCH A GOOD GUY! I love how active and reliable he can be, it's not super present due to how truthful works but he is! He's really good at keeping things on track. Plus his bond with Kunemon is just great.

Favorite moment

Okay so you know that part in Truthful where Miu and Kaito are arguing and instead of Aoi getting overwhelmed like she does in all the other routes Shuuji and Ryo step up to help? That, I love that, it's just this lovely showcase of how the both of them have grown and how they fit into the team. Love it dearly.

Idea for a story

That whole period where Takuma was away. I don't have anything super interesting I just want to see what was going on there. I want to see Ryo take charge when Shuuji and Aoi are tired! I want to see Ryo cooking with Aoi! I want to see Ryo bonding with everyone else and trying to keep them safe! That whole period where Takuma was away lives in my brain, so much happened during that period and I really wish I could see it.

Unpopular opinion

I...I don't know what's considered unpopular in this fandom. Uh, I don't really get the pathetic charm for pre-chapter 3 Ryo, sorry I just kinda don't.

Favorite relationship

My problem with this is that they don't really interact much with the others even in Truthful but like- Shuuji! Shuuji! I love these two a lot. They don't get much screen time but there good for each other! I think they contrast really interestingly! I have Truthful Chapter 5 living in my brain.

Favorite headcanon

...god what do I headcanon for characters? Uh...I like sorting the characters into what karma alignment I think they embody the most, I think it's fun to think about. And I find Ryo to be someone very connected to Moral in my opinion. I think when he gets his shit together he's very forward about trying to be better and again is very reliable and proactive. Like if Ryo was put in Takuma's place he would go back to save his friends even if he's scared. His friends didn't abandon him and he isn't going to abandon them yknow?

Day 5 and last part of the playthrough!

I didn't get any megas 😭 (other than Omnimon who I think is moral route garanteed). My affinities weren't high enough maybe? Or is it not possible first time around? My highest affinity was Minoru at 49 followed by Saki at 46 and Aoi at 42. My lowest other than the fallen characters was Kaito at 28 who did not in fact go past champion. Ironic considering his whole shtick.

I liked the facing their shadow stuff just wish something came of that? I think reaching mega would have been great there. Especially with the megas being route dependent but looking forward to seeing how they do happen hopefully in the next run. The little hints each character had definitely makes me want to play again the only ones that felt weak were Kaito and Saki. It really feels like Kaito has nothing going on other than the protecting Miu thing. Meanwhile I know Saki has some kind of terminal illness so having her shadow not mention or hint at that felt weird. Not wanting people to hate/dislike her was a fine enough insecurity but not even a "you'll die soon and have lived a life where everyone hated you" to really dig at her? Again maybe it was an affinity thing. Maybe that is the mega section and I just didn't meet the requirements 🤷‍♂️

The ending was good! Don't love that the digimon stayed behind but it was very season 3 of them to leave them behind and have a promise to return. I really hope that promise is kept in one of the endings. The game finally using the word Digimon and having it be coined by the professor because of the social media aspect was really clever. The idea of the supernatural being kept alive through social media is actually really fascinating and they explained really well. Really brought their choice to not use the word digimon the entire time together.

Having finally finished one playthrough I can say the game was worth the wait and worth playing if your a digimon fan. It felt like going through an anime season but influencing the direction somewhat. However I can see why it's also kind of going under the radar :/ Which is unfortunate because Digimon needs the sales! I think they mentioned working on a more cyber slueth like game already tho so hope to see something from that soon! It should hopefully fair better than survive who I think will probably be more of a hidden gem cult classic down the line.

Character rankings based on this run:

Minoru/Falcomon (love a good shonen protag which he basically was and his mobility was great)

Saki/Floramon (very relatable from liking lopmon to finding veggiemon ugly and hints to what I still don't know! Having long range hits also helped)

Aoi/Labramon (being timid but being expected to lead is very relatable plus I like her design and digimon! Didn't love Cerbermon's close range style tho)

Shuuji/Lopmon( lopmon is my fave digimon so that one was a given but Shuuji gave me a lot to hate and a lot of drama and I loved hating him I guess? Gave me a lot to think about that the others I feel didn't so gotta give him at least this spot)

Kaito/Dracmon (He feels pretty one note but his dynamic with dracmon was interesting from the start and he was a good unit until he didn't get past champion...)

Miu/Syakomon (like the hints to some sort of incident and her parents hating her? But didn't get a lot out of her and as a unit annoyingly slow)

Ryo/Kunemon (was looking forward to a redemption arc before being rudely reminded this game had deaths in it lol Died to early for an opinion to form so looking forward to getting to know him)

Haru/Miyuki and Garurumon/Renamon were good liked the angst but not sure where to place them in comparison to the party characters. Above Ryo for sure I suppose. Compared to eachother I'd say I liked Miyuki/Renamon more both as characters and units. Sakuyamon was so good I prioritized bringing her on the team over everyone else lol

I also don't know where to place the Takuma/Agumon I have a hard time caring about MCs especially with games like this where I'm making choices. I think I'd like him more than your average goggles protag cuz he was on the less hotheaded side but he was fine. Like the little moments with Agumon especially when he was talking about taking selfies! That was really cute.

Final alignment was 42 moral 26 wrathful and 36 harmony
