The grind didn't concern me (Lilithmon broke the game with her Defense Piercing attack, and Mastemon could cut their HP in half), the absolute unfairness of post-game shit did. Single Royal Knight bosses getting thirteen actions before you get one.
Not a malicious one, but I can confirm Cyber Sleuth was godawful from sheer incompetence. Minimal effort machine translation.
Example- a scenario where everyone was screaming about "Bakemon" (the ragged ghost Digimon). The catch- there wasn't a single Bakemon. They were saying "Bakemono," Japanese for "Monster."
The metal rockstar going "lolllolol" all the time though, that's accurate. His script in Japanese is pretty much "wwwwwwwwwwwwwww," their "lol" equivalent. You'd have to see an image or video of it in Japanese though.
Also, it's clear that the female protagonist choice was an afterthought, everything was presented as though the protagonist was male.
The only believable idea is that Portuguese slave traders made it to Japan and that Nobunaga purchased Yasuke from them. If he was a Samurai, it was really in title only, I doubt he was a trained warrior or bodyguard, but rather a personal manservant.
Mohawk, in a black leather vest and pants was her original design. I was brought up on long wavy hair in a white bodysuit and cape (I think that's actually design #3, #2 being blue leotard and cape with straight long hair), and never liked the Mohawk style.
Wait, what? They don't teach the formation of civilized hunter/gatherer society in Mesopotamia? How all sorts of early societies formed around rivers (the Themes, the Nile, etc.)? Notable leaders of said societies in history? The Caesars? The Louis? Marie "let them eat cake" Antoinette?
Hell, the only thing that you really do learn of the Bible in public school is that Jesus of Nazareth was born in 4 BC, and executed by the Roman government in mid 20s AD. Or have they even taken that much out of World History textbooks?
EDIT: Guys, I said "World History," not "American/US History," you're not going to find Christ mentioned in the latter.
Nintendo has actually been innovative in successful ways, has kept their tech cheap, and their games, at times, FUN. Sony moved PlayStation HQ to America, where it went full politically-correct police on everything, ESPECIALLY the Japanese devs making cute girls doing cute things stuff. Microsoft never had that fun Japanese touch, period, and simply tried to buy up whatever they could to attempt monopolization.
Nintendo and PC (mostly Steam) is the future.
I bought a Steam collection a long time ago that had everything up to Tomb Raider (reboot). Not going to touch anything that came after, especially if this is how they feel, I'll just play the actual original stuff.
Next Order? Hard as fuck, have to deal with lifespans, forcing you to retrain your two partners every new cycle (though the apparently gradually retain more and more strength each cycle), your partners are mostly AI controlled.
And the evolution is a lot harder to control, and often doesn't make sense. Remember how Mastemon was introduced as a fusion of Angewomon and LadyDevimon? Neither can become her in this game, but Meicrackmon can.
Translation-wise, it HAD to be better, they actually dubbed it in English.
