I don't know how much here have played Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth (Hackers Memory). If i read this, i think they haven't done much different:
For example, if your opponent is a Virus-type, attacking with a Vaccine-type Digimon will grant a +100% damage bonus. Additionally, using Water-type skills against them if they’re weak to water will further increase the damage multiplier! The reverse is also true—if both attribute and element matchups are unfavorable, the damage dealt will be significantly reduced.
Well it was fine in cyber sleuth, but i wish the Element would have a bigger influece than the Attribut. A lot Digimon from the main characters in the series are Vaccine or Data. Out of my head i only know Guilmon as Virus type. I don't know what the other Attributs mean, but i haven't seen every newer digimom animes. So maybe it's fine here.
Digivolution is not linear—meeting certain conditions will unlock multiple evolution paths, and Digimon can even be De-digivolved to a younger form, allowing for flexible training strategies.
I guess it's like Cyber Sleuth again, to getting stronger you need to use evolution and de-evolution a lot. I think that's fine for me, let's see how it turns out to be. But Cyber Sleuth was developed for the vita and the inland farming was a big part to farming exp for digimon and using evolution and de-evolution a lot. So the vita was suposed to stay in standby while island farming goes on. I always thought that doesn't work that well on PS4 or PC. So hope that turns out good here as well.
One of the new systems introduced in Time Stranger is Personalities. Each Digimon has one of 16 personality types, which influence stat growth, skill acquisition, and even digivolution conditions.
Hello Pokemon.... This means just more farming if you want a certain personality i guess.
While a Digimon’s personality is initially determined when it is converted, it can be changed later through communication and training using special items in the Digifarm.
Ok maybe it's fine, but just like Pokemon again i guess.
I think it read itself fine, i'm kind of to exited for this game as someone liking digimon. I just hope they have a good balance in farming possible for long time motivation and nesssary for just a gameplay run.
