1. Why didn't you ask him about the next Story game?

2. Why didn't you ask him about the use of Japanese names for the Digimon all of a sudden (Omegamon) when they weren't in Cyber Sleuth?

3. Why didn't you ask if the next Digimon game will be developed with the PS4 in mind first instead of the Vita?

Note: These are questions I think you should have asked him and also as a reminder since he was asked some of those questions last year.

It actually uses Japanese names for Digimon? That's a surprise, a pleasent surprise, but still unexpected.

For what it's worth Cyber Sleuth used mostly Japanese attack names, which I simply attributed to the fact that they probably didn't watch the dub or anything and we're just using Digimon names from an English glossary so they just translated Japanese attack names without bothering to see if there were changed in the American dubs. Or I guess I could just be inconsistency given some different Digimon having different English names and attacks across various series.

I bought Cyber Sleuth day-1. I will never buy Next 0rder because of their decision to skip the Vita version.

I love raising sims, so I love Next 0rder, and it's filling that Monster Rancher-shaped hole in my heart, though the difficulty curve is pretty steep.

I miss the accessories from Re: Digitize, though. It's not the same if I can't make my Digimon wear silly hats.

Only for a select few of them, IIRC.

I put that game on Easy Mode because I ain't got time for grinding for stats (Normal mode halves the stats your Digimon earns, iirc), and even then, it's so frustrating how basically the levels [for enemies] don't matter. A team of Ultimates can get their butts kicks by a lv. 8 Rookie if it's strong enough, especially if it's early in the game (Chapter 1).

Digimon World, that takes me back. All three PlayStation titles were major time eaters, and I beat them all eventually. Digimon World 4 was a very slow grind and I unfortunately never finished it (would love to go back to it at some point though). Now that I have a PS4 proper, I can purchase this and return to the PlayStation days of taking my Digimon out for training, feeding them, hearing their cute (or manly) cries and making sure they don't do stinkies in the middle of the road. XD

It's actually just as inconsistent as Cyber Sleuth, a few like Omegamon got changed back to the Japanese names, while others were regressed back to past US names.
