Digimon: Dial Up!

So I thought there'd be a thread about this already, but there wasn't, so in case anyone hasn't heard.

Boop.

Also theres a new game or something.

Ah yeah, meant to ask if you heard about it o 3o I had told Cam and Jess -> Graham earlier.

There's some brawler game or something that'll be brought to North America, yeah. It'll probably be totally meh since there's been actual good PSP/Vita games that they haven't bothered to localize.

Wait, so that's a game?

I thought you shared an anime?

I'm confused now. o Ao;;;

No, that's the anime > 3>

Anime is 2015, game is some kinda 4 person fighter coming this year.

We've missed two Digimon Story games for the DS, a Digimon World game for the PSP AND it's 3DS remaster, there's another one coming out for the Vita which I wonder if we'll even get, this Rumble Arena deal is probably the only one we'll get and I doubt it has any of the production values of the Digimon World games.

That said, I am the excite. Past Chapter arc in 2015 for DU?

We'll see after we get through 2014's DU arcs >_>;;;

And I guess it's all relative ^^; I'm not entirely sure how well a game-consuming past arc would go given that not everyone has Chosen/etc characters.

Yeah, I'm gonna second Justin on that one. > 3>; As much as the past is an interesting place to peek at, I think trying to do a whole arc around it might be not the best idea.

Also I may be one of the few people who's not super thrilled about this. Taichi? Again? Fuckin' really? > 3>;;;;; Also, isn't this just going to be the backstory leading up to the 02 Epilogue? Remember how thrilled everyone was with that shit. <_<; The only person who got anything resembling good times there was Ken, and he still ended up with Miyako, which made erryone mad.

I'm gonna have to 3rd Justin.

I like peeking at the past too, but a whole arc might be a bit much, and it might end up leaving people out who really want to be involved.

I'd like to first enjoy things we have for 2014, yes. >_>;;;

THAT SAID:
FUCK MIYAKO.

ALSO SORA.

GODDAMN, HOW THE FUCK?

>___> Oh for goodness sakes, leave your Fangirl Bias at home, dear. Sora didn't end up with Taichi because his hair is a fucking Cthulhu Mythos god, okay? It's like an avatar of Nyogtha that hangs out on his head or something, that shit Should Not Be. And Miyako, as I have explained, is actually every fangirl that wanted Ken's D, so it's okay. (No, he was never going to put it up Daisuke's butt. Daisuke is gross. Daisuke is a virgin forever.)

LET'S TALK INSTEAD ABOUT THAT "DIGIDESTINED" TERM, SHALL WE?! What the fuck was that?? Is that--wasn't it Chosen Children? Are we just using the Western terms now? Or are we Reverse Sailor Moon Crystal-ing this shit? When this gets subbed, are we going to use all the American terms in the subs while hearing the Japanese ones? X____X;;;;; And isn't that a bit like if Crystal subbed Usagi as "Serena"??

MORE IMPORTANTLY, THINK HOW THE DUB WILL FUCK THIS UP. DON'T TELL ME THEY CAN'T. TAIKI BECAME MIKEY, REMEMBER.

I didn't mean to start a buzzkill avalanche ^^; We can always do at least a thread or something if there's a lot of hype @_@ I just personally have no real links. Just Lily who I have absolutely zero investment in.

Taichi in high school means that it's set after 02, so yes in some way. Unless of course they just retcon the epilogue. It's been too long since I've seen the end of 02 to remember exactly all of the details of the transition into the epilogue, but I guess it may also just be one of those things where you can put in a "Oh yeah, this really important stuff also happened!" without it technically disagreeing with any established continuity.

Also yeah, Re:Digitize looked great and Cyber Sleuth looks like it's gonna be awesome. Also both likely with much better production values than Rumble Arena will likely guess. I think someone was working on a fan-translation of Re:Digitize, guess I can always emulate that once it's finished >_>;

No. >_> There was no reason Yamato had to get stuck with Sora. The only reason I could think of is he felt sorry for that bitch cause Taiki's hair rejected her. <_<

I can kinda look away from Ken x Miyako, 9_9 Ugh. BUT ANYWAY.

I will admit I am minorly concerned about the "DigiDestined" term. >_>;;;

Am I forgetting what the issue with Ken x Miyako was? @___@ Like wasn't that the one proto-couple between stuff like Taichi x Sora and Takeru x Hikari that actually became a thing?

You remember correctly, Justin, but Fangirls hate it because they wanted Ken to be all yaoi yaoi dick dick with Daisuke, since apparently they don't get the skeeze meter set off by that guy (I don't know how, Daisuke is, as aforementioned, gross)

Oh yeah, Takeru x Hikari! Remember how that WASN'T A THING IN THE EPILOGUE AT ALL????

EDIT: Oh, I had forgotten how this went down.

Oooookay >_> Gotcha. Why Jess takes some issue with the coupling <__<;;;

They will throw in lame jokes that have no real place in the script, again. >_>

But this time they might do it in the subtitles for the Japanese version. > 3>; Which is the confusing part.

Also, I read "these Digimons" and cried a little.

Re:Digitize looked awesome an I bought it, but I am now saving up for a Japanese System. (Wanted one anyway, but I have to have one to play it. >_>; ) [...Savings which got set back by IRL shit.]

ANYWAY.

Daisuke was a panty thief.

Also, technically, I didn't like him, I just thought the dynamic was better and Takeru was "with" Hikari anyway; Daisuke didn't really deserve Hikari. >_> I don't HAVE to break up canon couplings for Yaoi Love. <_<

BUT I STILL STAND BY YAMATO x TAICHI. FUCK YOU, WOOKIE.

Ahahahahaa, there are so many more problems with the epilogue than their kids being weird genetically recombined clones of them.

BUT YES. I misremembered. I thought Hikari went to go live in America, but no! No no. It turns out that was TAKERU. Takeru, who grew up to be a total fucking douchebag. He's CEO of Digital Douchebags, Inc., LLC. Who abandoned Hikari while she was pregnant.

Also in this image, we see that Iori grew up to be something other than a serial killer, which is just really kind of a shock to everyone. Oh, and Sora, we had all forgotten, hopped on Jyou's dick in the end, leaving Yamato and Taichi's friendship to blossom into the romance that we all knew was secretly there.

Finally, Daisuke grew a pompadour and needs to be killed.

>_> Takeru does kinda have the start of a mullet there; yes.
