Title: Digimon Story: Time Stranger デジモンストーリー タイムストレンジャー
Platform: PC
Genre: RPG
Language: Japanese, English
Company: Bandai Namco
Summary: Finished Digimon Time Stranger with Royal Knights and did the Olympus XII fight, 36 hrs total. Need a replay some year in future cuz I didn’t know I could’ve heard way more shimono hiro if I’d played as the girl until after it was too late
Certain parts definitely are a step up from Cyber Sleuth, but battles suffer pretty much the same typical formula as cyber sleuth so that bums me up, but anyway setting it on Story mode so I don’t bother with that anymore KEKW. It does even have an Invincible mode if you die even under Story mode.
Lot of Personal parallels as usual, and for the first time I finally realized Mirei is basically Igor. lol

Characters:

Graphics: The fur rendition and dark changes are definitely noticeable, I do think they changed the game rendering engine but I’ll have to look into that later. XD;
Biggest complaint about the overall graphics/gameplay schematics is… everything is way too close up. Need options to zoom out… VERY badly.

Sound:

Replay Value:

Overall: Tentatively placing a solid 9/10 for this one. I realize this is the same score I gave the 2 Cyber Sleuth games in combination, but I do feel this game is wayyy more accessible as a gateway game for anyone interested in Digimon. I won’t give it a perfect score for its end flaws in the battle system (really is just the same ol’ with some QoL like 5x speed). You can really tell they put the budget into everything else EXCEPT reworking the extra-mild battle system. Not surprising Bamco behavior.
I contemplated demoting Cyber Sleuth score, but my personal appreciation for the characters in Hacker’s Memory won’t let me :D

Arise 100% in 70 hours, uhh I thought Xillia was the easiest to 100% but I’d say this wasn’t even half the effort D: Tales??

Title: Tales of Berseria テイルズ オブ ベルセリア
Platform: PS3/PS4/PC
Genre: Action RPG
Language: Japanese
Company: Bandai Namco
Summary: I’ll admit overall I did like this a bit more than the mess that was Zestiria, but it was still NOWHERE NEAR as good as any of the previous Tales games in most terms x_x; I appreciated some things, but mostly still hated a lot of it. Lists behind the cut…

Title: Tales of Zestiria テイルズ オブ ゼスティリア
Platform: PS3, PC, PS4
Genre: Action RPG
Language: Japanese
Company: Namco Bandai
Summary: Bottom line is–This has 1 and a half star ratings out of 5 on AmazonJP and for legit reasons imo. Please, DO NOT make this your first Tales experience if you have the opportunity to play any of the other PS3 Tales instead. Forget the Alisha drama, my biggest beef with this series has everything to do with everything else about the game and THEN the lack of Alisha. That’s how bad it is.
