Hi there everyone,

I had to ask all the Digimon and non-Digimon Fans alike. I'm considering buying Digimon Next Order on my Switch, I've been contemplating and indecisive about playing the game for over a year. I miss Digimon World 01, the old days on PS1. I Miss pet simulation, farming, taking care of my Digimon, similar to Digi Devices that I use to show off at school lol. I sold all my Sony consoles. A mistake that I've done on my part. But I do have a Switch.

I'm also keen to get Time Stranger on Switch or switch 2. I've played Cyber Sleuth and yes it's a very good game. But I do feel that bonding, feeding or caring is not their strong suit. I'm also considering Monster Rancher because its another game with strong bonding and life cycle mechanics.

So my question, do you think they will continue the Digimon World/next Order with new sequels after Time Strangers DLC's or in the far future, generally speaking?

Pet Raising/simulation, bonding mechanics is what I found charming from Digimon World and Next Order seems to have just exactly that.

Thanks for taking the time to read.

Hey guys,

Does anyone know if monster rancher would suit me?

I Love monster taming games with pet bonding, a strong sense of connection or building up and training monsters deeply. I like deep strategies. Evolution pathways and would be cool to watch my monsters grow up not just for damage or defense but I helped it get there with guidance. I can see that with Monster Rancher being exactly that.

I saw Monster Rancher DX 2 and I thought, the mechanics looks surprisingly Deep, strategic and requires thought, timing, preparation and intuition. The Problem is the monsters graphics and environment look like poo. I apologize for that horrible word I used. I Play a lot of sprite and 3D Monster Taming games but even Sprites look way better. Been playing Monster Crown Sin eater: the monsters are visually attractive. Same thing with Astra Bestiary. I just can't see myself buying MR DX 2. Then I saw Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher. I thought the graphics look amazing but the Monsters look like Humanoids, Men in Suit. I'm a casual Humanoid Tamer but I am a big fan of Quadrupeds, insects, Cephalopods, Invertebrates, Dinosaurs, Dragons, Wyverns etc. Godzilla Kaiju's actually has all that King Gidorah, Mothra and Desghidorah to name a few.

But..... Monster Rancher 2 in Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher i.e. Mochi and the 1 Eye monster. THEY LOOK AMAZING in Ultra Kaiju they look way better than the funny looking men in suit monsters. There's also a Geodude looking character only in MR2 I really want him because he has no legs and he shows off his muscles as if he was working out hehe.....

I really want to get into the Monsteer Rancher franchise, Even Monster Rancher 4 look visually appealing but unfortunately I sold all my Sony consoles. But if the monsters look too blocky and low Res I can't relate to it.

There is one game that is similar and I absolutely love it, which is Mamon King, but again the monsters look okayish, generic, nothing fancy about them except for the 4legged Dragons with actual 3D Textures. I was surprised they had a few of those in Mamon King. I Absolutely Love Mamon King mechanics. The gameplay can feel a bit simple imo.
