Moose look like they enjoy scaring humans.

Both. Always both.

I did. I picked shadow dragon so neve felt more connected to my character. Also influenced my city choice.

I don't feel like I got a chance to actually connect to both enough for me to really feel the weight of the choice other than losing lucanis for a Lil bit.

I mostly used darvin and lucanis. Sometimes it was neve and darvin.
Others it was lucanis and emmrich. Rarely used the others. Taash sometimes. Rarely Harding or Bella. I picked mage so my party mostly kept the enemy occupied while I blasted from a distance.

I ignore social media for a few hours and apparently trump is president throat now.

The 2 big finale choices were between character I never used and character I frequently choose.

I didn't finish all of the other games so I can't comment on the overarching story. I don't think the story was executed well and had a bit too much backtracking. I'm iffy about a number of decisions. Like which city to save.

The combat is phenomenonal. The story? Oof. Feels like a lot of ideas were cut. Forcing you to sacrifice Harding or Davin was an odd choice

just gonna keep ranting about Digimon.

The English dub of Digimon Adventure (2020) premiered in 2023.....

lesser known shows are damn near getting simulcast of the Dub and Sub but Digimon treats it like an afterthought. There are 2 whole series that only exist as a sub. That's insane.

AND IT NEEDS TO BE SAID

Digimon has been horribly managed everywhere. yes Including Japan. You've been around as long as Pokemon and you still struggle to break 2 million for any title.
