This game was released in 1999 and if you take that into consideration then this game is pretty fucking amazing. The graphics are great, the quest is amazing, the world is huge. The only issue with this game is that it is incredibly unforgiving, it's close to literally impossible for a newbie, it's simply put too hard. I love games which actually requires a challenge, but this game forces you to use guides to explain how basic things work as not all things are explained in the game (such as what the different things the Digimon says means, what the bars at the bottom-right corner means). It could be as hard as it is, but at least the information should be available in game from either various NPC or in books you could find or so.
Zero Todona I didn't fucking understand anything. I got it when I was around 10 or so, and since English isn't my native language I struggled a lot simply by that fact. I remember getting Sukamon and Numemon several times and just restarting the game from there. Was pretty fun still!
Yep. Imagine this game reworked today. It would be so amazing. Unless they go full Pokémon and make it so easy a blind toddler could play it. (First generation of Gameboy games were sooo much harder).
This was my first video game ever, I didn't play it for 5 years after getting it at age 8. At age 13 I played it for an entire summer (most of the time around the clock with only brief naps because that's what 13 year olds do during summer break) and most of the fall. At age 16, I picked it back up again and played it for another 5 months straight every day. So I agree with your comments, and I do wish the translations and in-game information had been better. Would love a remake but know it won't happen.
I love that you've done an Audio Commentary of the game. I really love it when a runner goes step by step and explains everything about the choices and decisions, version differences etc. In a game. I was looking for a 100% run, but I'd have lost interest since there aren't any Audio Commentated ones! Thanks for this, very entertaining.
Call it bias from nostalgia but I get the feeling this was the golden era of gaming, there are not many games these days that will capture what gaming was like back then the experience was new a fresh
It was the golden era of gaming, but this game isn't high-quality... comparing it to almost any other PS1 game shows that it isn't too good. It's way too slow-paced, and by that i mean the loading screens mostly... it's cryptic beyond belief - you can't play it without a guide, at all.. and it has very annoying sounds mostly.. and not much depth in the plot.. i would say had they done it well, it would've been a good game.
The game is a mess for sure. But it's really interesting in design and concept. It's also just plain weird. Idk. it's one of the few PS1 games I can still enjoy today.
Sadly, it is nostalgia. No game will ever feel the same because WE will never be the same. We were kids, Now we're not anymore, and that's what has changed.
This bias can be easily explained on this example: You only remember the good ones like Digimon World 1. Prime example on a game mostly held back by technology of the time.(aka they stuffed as much mechanics in as possible so they literally did not have the capacity of explaining all of it or do better sounds, because they already made the backgrounds prerendered 2d images to save polygons and rendering time for the importan stuff aka battles)
You just did in 8 minutes everything that I did 2 months as a child xD I had to play this game blind and without a manual because my cousin ate it. Maybe after watching whole run, I could even beat this game myself.
Wow i can't believe i actually watched all of this, i'm not really one to be into speed runs but this was very entertaining to watch, i always loved this game as a kid and it was interesting to watch you beat it so fast and the methods you used.
Really REALLY interesting speedrun. I really like how you didn't use any game breaking glitches or anything like that. Just a few minor tricks to shave off a few seconds. Watched it from start to finish, awesome job!
It's over a decade since i last played this game, but boy i love it... Everytime some video of it pops up, i feel goosembumps. And seeing this final fight also remembered me how grotesque and broken Thunder Justice was... Almost impossible to interrupt, almost impossible to avoid, high change to stun and a insane damage output! No equal in all tech board!
Wow, much love for making this video! I got to re-live a huge chunk of my gaming life (back when I was about 7 or 8 years old) in 90 minutes :)) thank you! Now onto the 100 prosperity vid to see who I missed. Keep it up!
Sparsie, this was really interesting and fun to watch! Thanks for taking the time to provide audio commentary as well, your knowledge of this game is amazing. I remember playing this at a young age and having a very limited understanding of grinding/puzzle RPG games. So to see you speedrun this was really cool! Keep up the good work.
I love this game, in that way how they did it. When Digimon World 2 came out.. guys, I never expect so much hate. A system like in pokemon. No connection anymore to the digimon or something like that..
I remember I once beat the game with my first digimon and thought I was awesome. If I had known your run was even possible back then, it would have blown my mind. Great video, really enjoyed watching. I need to play this game again soon.
Back in the old days I managed to reclutate many digimon. Greymon came to challenge me, and I've saved someone else after him. The main problem is that the italian version has 3 major bugs that impede you to finish the game. Tyrannomon will always continue to challenge you even after his defeat till you are dead, agumon will never allow you to enter in the ogremon fortress and if you enter in the factorial town the game will freeze. Very professional. What a waste of time.
Awesome run dude, brings back so many childhood memories. Ive spent countless hours not knowing what to do, and now I really wanna boot it up again and finish it in one day, with your amazing runthrough. Thumbs up
I was very fortunate to see this run live. Sparsie has been the forerunner of pushing each of the categories of this game to its limits. The commentary here is amazing, however in a span of 1 hour and 30 minutes, it is nearly impossible to discuss everything about the route and its strategies. This run is proof enough that the single segment run of this category will one day hit sub 1:30, a time which was thought impossible for a very long time. I have no worries about this happening within the foreseeable future. Good job, Sparsie.
I played this all the time as a child, and it was amazing to watch this run. I learned a lot about the game, stuff 8 yr old me couldn't figure out. I'm gonna play this now.
Dang! The record has improved a lot since ' MusicControl and I first re-awakened this category. I still have my 3 hour and 30 minute run laying around in my records :p The routing has become very clean and smooth. Well done to you guys who currently speedrun this game! Really nice :)
this brought back alot of memories, however so many hours i spent on this game i never did beat it. My digimon always died and went back to egg form. Keep up the awesome speed runs.
Very nice speedrun, this game seems like it's something I'd really enjoy, I hope that I can sit down and play it normally someday. Also, severely enjoyed your commentary! Hope to see more from you C:
hey sparsie thanks for this run, i really enjoyed your commentary. i even watched your 100% run on twitch just to hear your commentary on it. used to have this game before i moved and left it for the landlord's kids. i hope there is a remake or sequel to it in the future.
Hi there, thank you very much :D A PSP-game called Digimon World Re:Digitize was released in Japan in 2012, and the gameplay is very similar to the first Digimon World. There's currently a group working on an English-translation, and it seems they will be finished within the next month. You might wanna check it out: digimonworldre.wordpress.com/
Thank you for your speedruns! They really help alot to get through the game and learn some tricks xD I had so much trouble when I was a child, getting through this game... So.. Thank You! :)
49:23 - I think the street sign thing is a mistranslation or something, referring to a dojo's sign. If a dojo loses a challenge for its sign, it is considered dishonored and may have to close down...if I am recalling correctly.
As of today the speed run is 129.45. Only just beating this one. Used to play this a lot as a kid. Will definitely be getting back on it. Timeless classic that still looks good for how old it is. Thanks for uploading this. Brilliant upload 😊
Ive owned this game since its release when my mom bought it fro me as a birthday gift. It was beautiful back then, last time I played it I just kept training more and more digimon for the PvP collection, but with noone to play against I stopped playing it after a couple of years of fun.
I enjoyed this game so much when i was younger. Never got to Mt Infinity tho.. i was too busy trying to digivolve into the desired monster, which never seemed to go as planned even with the strategy guide. Also my mind was completely blown that you got to Centarumon in 5 mins- i dont think I ever made it there in under like 2 hours.
I enjoyed watching this. I finally got to see the ending of this game! When I was a kid I had no idea what I was doing, I was just running around having fun with my digimon friends and getting annoyed when they kept turning into Numemon, lmao. I had to rewatch the last 10 minutes of this as I was watching this just before bed and ended up falling asleep like 9 minutes before the run ended oops hehe. Great speedrun. In the time you took, I would've still been messing around in the icy area at best.
Wow... I played this game as a kid and loved it even though I was terrible at it! It took him 13 minutes to accomplish more than I ever have in any run! This is great! I had no idea you could beat it with only a champion. I've never been able to keep my digimon alive sadly... but if I can get a new copy, after watching this, I know I can do better!
Yo, GOOD SHIT Sparsie, you sir have waaaaay more patience than normal gamey-nerdy people. I've always wanted to see a merathon of the game, perhaps you learn a good safe route and go to AGDQ!! =D I smell a Filth digimon incentive. If metal Mamemon would've spawned, do you think it would help or hurt the run? (yeaa, chances are really bad but...) Also, love the way you say Sand yanmanon. LOL
I'm just reading through the comments and it looks like I missed your question. Sorry for the late answer! There where actually two runners applying for AGDQ 2015 with Digimon World, unfortunately they rejected. But even assuming I would apply and get accepted: As I live in Europe, going there myself would be rather expensive and not something I could afford easily. So it's probably not gonna happen anytime soon :( As for Metal Mamemon: With the route I'm using here, he wouldn't have helped the run if he spawned. On the first visit I don't have time to fight him, since I need to enter Factorial Town at the right timing. And for the second visit, all of the remaining Digimon adding up to 3 Prosperity-Points are faster to get at that point. Basically, if he spawned I would have simply walked past him and continued the run regularly :D
Shit, the cave will open in 5 days regardless of you moving any dirt? I am never moving dirt for another playthrough again. Half-way to the entrance of the cave, gotta poop...
No, you can unlock the cave in 1 day if you remove the dirt, plus you will gain 5000 bits 500 HP, 50 OF, 50 Df...which is pretty helpful at the beginning of the game
I had the game back then and couldn't beat it, because of that stupid fortress bug. Srsly. I wasted hours on that. Just to find out years later, it wasn#t even possible in my PAL version. fml ^^
Wow dude! You just killed that fucking game! As a kid I was never able to get even close to finishing off, I had about 35 points best I think but I also hat that stupid PAL bug but DUDE!!! You know how that shit works and it looks so easy and the face that you've finished the game hundreds of time and I feel so dumb right now because I wouldn't even know exactly how to get which digivolution... Just wow, I'm speechless! I could probably finish the game without the bug just fine now but I would do everything randomly and you had it all mapped out and I don't even want to think about what you might be feeling and thinking when you try to go fur such a run! There are so many things that could go wrong, I would so insane and not only within the game, also things like getting thirsty and having to take a break or something but you seemed to didn't even do that. And the closer you get to finish this thing the more nerves you get and it's just incredible how you didn't make any mistakes and to me it seemed just perfect. When I saw that this video was only 1 1/2 hrs long, I thought about how that might be a fake or cheated somehow because I couldn't even imagine one beating the game that fast! Just wow, dude...
Took me and my friend fucking months to beat this game Had a look at how long to beat - it says the game is about 35 hours.. can't wait to see you destroy it
I love this game and played it many many many many times in my life for many many many many hours, but due to the PAL bug, I was never able to finish it in my life. Until now! I patched a rom to get rid of the bug and 100%ed the game in a few days. I had the fun of my life.
I am impressed I remember in my childhood took me weeks to finish this game. It was really cool to remember Dude u Forget Cemitery Mansion And Angel Digimon Place....
Eternal Distortion All of the above because I have three memory cards to save the games. If I have to pick, it is going to be FFVIII because of 4 gaming disks, all the GFs, and the Lion Heart Ultimate attack. Which also interested me into playing FFXIII series in PS3. Of all the FF, I only played FF8 and FF13. When I was young, I kept using the GameShark which make the impossible to possible like rapid fire from a magnum or rocket launcher in RE3, no reload in PE2 (So I keep shooting the MP5A5 and Grande launcher), sliding in SH1 so that I don't need to keep running all over the large map.
genial video, muchas gracias que casi lloro al ver el final de un juego que tantas veces comencé pero nunca termine por uno o mil motivos mas, muchas gracias !
My favority game in ps1 :) ... I played this when I have 9 years old ... I remember that I bought a magazine games with the tips about the step by step
Cool speedrun, thanks for uploading it. It highlights one of the problems of the game imo : you have to shower your digimon with healing and MP objects to get anywhere in the game. It makes every victory feel cheap! Except maybe the Garurumon fight, but this one is random as fuck - even if your digimon has the potential to beat him he'll sometimes get annihilated because his timing wasn't right or because he doesn't manage to kill Garurumon before his ultra.
I'm still looking for an emulator to run this but every single one I've got is missing the bios and as I'm not really a computer person i don't know where to go or to get them can someone help?
It's insane how fast you beat the game and the tricks you used I've beat the game many a time but never have tested my skills with a speed run been playing this game since I was 5
Amazing commentary! I learned so much. How did you know the percentage of learning spinning shot? I don't quite understand how learning abilities works.
I was replaying this game lately and on that sandyanmamon fight I got spinning shot, the protection and my digimon got injured. Suck on that RNG, Sparsie!
+CptZSLight Stop complaning about what series is better. Thad be like saying Dragonball Z VS Narato. But for charaters i like Digimon, Mikey Kudo is a better charater than Ash. But there both great
Ario Mario complaining is by far the wrong word to use, and regardless it's my opinion. have yours all you want, but don't tell me mine is wrong without providing good evidence and reason as to why it's wrong.
+CptZSLight "Don't write your opinion on my comment about my opinion!" Whiny fucking baby. Your opinion is also wrong. Didn't even know an opinion could be wrong, but then I read your comment. Incredible.
Really enjoyed watching this! Don't know if you're still active on this account but I really hope I can see this game run on GDQ one day, preferably by you since you explain everything in a good way :D
Well here I am back again. After watching the 100 prosperity, I had to go play a bit. Then I really wanted to see another speedrun, so I watched your 1:27 any% which was awesome. Then I looked at the youtube to find that this one had live commentary, so I had to watch this too lol. Really fantastic to hear some of the explanations. Loved all of the commentary. Even seeing the same enemy dodges three times still impressed me. One of my questions came from your Amida forest explanation. Does that mean that every movement in the run up to that point was calculated? And if yes, does that mean it's the same Agumon fight every time? Also, never knew speed increased block chance, that was certainly interesting. Didn't know that digimon had elemental resistances to some moves either. Cool to learn new stuff about a game that I thought I had totally figured out. Also there's one last question I want to ask, because I've never really gotten a great explanation. What effects does getting the digivice from Jijimon at the very beginning actually have on the game? Thank you so much for all the work you've put into running this game. I've really gotten a lot out of watching all of the pb's you've gotten so far.
Thank you once again for your comment :P To answer your questions: The movement until Amida Forest is indeed completely planned out to make sure I get the Autopilot and that also includes the same Agumon fight, yeah. As for the Digivice: There's actually 0 difference. The only purpose of that little questionnaire at the start is to determine wether you get Agumon or Gabumon. I read tons of rumours, like not having the Digivice turning the game into a hard-mode, or making digivolution easier/harder. Unfortunately it's false and the game isn't affected by it at all.
I remember getting Megadramon and it was one of the best moments of my childhood. But no one believed me and when I went on to show it off it had already died, mega lol.
Great run bro. I couldn't finish the game fully ten years ago because I bought the european version of the game and you can't complete it 100% because of the famous "agumon bug" Played it recently on emulator and finished it entirely with all the medals ( thanks to the quick saves for always having x4 or x10 stats boost with trainings )
This is one of the best games I've ever played in my life.
totally agree!
Marvin K. I completely agree. This was a big part of my childhood.
I played many popular games and I agree with this guy.
i need to know why
Marvin K. Tell me about it. I'm now 29 and I'm still coming back to this stuff. Not ashamed at all.
This game was released in 1999 and if you take that into consideration then this game is pretty fucking amazing. The graphics are great, the quest is amazing, the world is huge.
The only issue with this game is that it is incredibly unforgiving, it's close to literally impossible for a newbie, it's simply put too hard.

It could be as hard as it is, but at least the information should be available in game from either various NPC or in books you could find or so.
Agreed, I would of been around 8(?) when this game came out and it was so hard to understand and get your digimon just right.
Zero Todona I didn't fucking understand anything. I got it when I was around 10 or so, and since English isn't my native language I struggled a lot simply by that fact. I remember getting Sukamon and Numemon several times and just restarting the game from there. Was pretty fun still!
The guide book was no help even as an English speaker. This game was really just pure luck.
Yep. Imagine this game reworked today. It would be so amazing. Unless they go full Pokémon and make it so easy a blind toddler could play it. (First generation of Gameboy games were sooo much harder).
This was my first video game ever, I didn't play it for 5 years after getting it at age 8.

Drake B idk man. I got the same fresh experience when I played Horizon Zero Dawn this week.
The game is a mess for sure. But it's really interesting in design and concept. It's also just plain weird. Idk. it's one of the few PS1 games I can still enjoy today.
Sadly, it is nostalgia. No game will ever feel the same because WE will never be the same. We were kids, Now we're not anymore, and that's what has changed.
This bias can be easily explained on this example:
You only remember the good ones like Digimon World 1.

Wow, i never knew this game was so big... My friend and I always got that big yellow poop digimon and never got anywhere when we were kids :D
You just did in 8 minutes everything that I did 2 months as a child xD I had to play this game blind and without a manual because my cousin ate it. Maybe after watching whole run, I could even beat this game myself.
Can you feel The Sunshine His cousin ate the manual. Im laughing too hard to dismiss it as a possibility
It wouldn't even matter, the Manual doesn't say shit anyway.
LoL
Your cousin are the manual? 😳
Wow i can't believe i actually watched all of this, i'm not really one to be into speed runs but this was very entertaining to watch, i always loved this game as a kid and it was interesting to watch you beat it so fast and the methods you used.
Thank you very much, always happy to read comments like these! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
Really REALLY interesting speedrun. I really like how you didn't use any game breaking glitches or anything like that. Just a few minor tricks to shave off a few seconds. Watched it from start to finish, awesome job!
There is actually somebody speedrunning this game?
Dude you're fucking awesome! Kudos to you.
I'm here in 2023
It's over a decade since i last played this game, but boy i love it...
Everytime some video of it pops up, i feel goosembumps.
And seeing this final fight also remembered me how grotesque and broken Thunder Justice was...
Almost impossible to interrupt, almost impossible to avoid, high change to stun and a insane damage output!
No equal in all tech board!
After struggling with this game as a child, and an adult, it's nice to see such a great run of the game. There's no way I'd even attempt this!
Wow, much love for making this video! I got to re-live a huge chunk of my gaming life (back when I was about 7 or 8 years old) in 90 minutes :)) thank you! Now onto the 100 prosperity vid to see who I missed. Keep it up!

Great run, and great commentary! You probably have the most relaxing voice of any speedrunner I've ever heard lol.
My Digimon always turned into poop
Same I never knew why it used to frustrate the fuck out of me
Challenge accepted!!!!!!! You destroyed this game and I was in shock an awe about how you smashed this game.
Dang! The record has improved a lot since ' MusicControl and I first re-awakened this category. I still have my 3 hour and 30 minute run laying around in my records :p The routing has become very clean and smooth. Well done to you guys who currently speedrun this game! Really nice :)
this brought back alot of memories, however so many hours i spent on this game i never did beat it. My digimon always died and went back to egg form. Keep up the awesome speed runs.
I spent my whole childhood to beat this game and you did it in 1hr 30min.. my life was a lie
Nice run congrats man! but that poor Birdramon :(
Very nice speedrun, this game seems like it's something I'd really enjoy, I hope that I can sit down and play it normally someday. Also, severely enjoyed your commentary! Hope to see more from you C:
Fantastic mixture of being informative and also really chill.
You've got a super soothing voice, this is the perfect video to drift off to
Smooth and proper run. I lik'd your explanations about the game and his mechanics. Very good stuff there.
hey sparsie thanks for this run, i really enjoyed your commentary. i even watched your 100% run on twitch just to hear your commentary on it. used to have this game before i moved and left it for the landlord's kids. i hope there is a remake or sequel to it in the future.

sparsie115 checked it out. awesome. seems like everything one could ask for in a remake/sequel.
Thank you for your speedruns! They really help alot to get through the game and learn some tricks xD I had so much trouble when I was a child, getting through this game...
So.. Thank You! :)
WoW you are the first in the world truly, with 1h 19m 54s ! Congratulations man, I enjoyed watching this gameplay a lot !
49:23 - I think the street sign thing is a mistranslation or something, referring to a dojo's sign.
If a dojo loses a challenge for its sign, it is considered dishonored and may have to close down...if I am recalling correctly.

I love this game but. always my digimon become a Sukamon xD
Loved this game when I was younger. Nice run!

Yo, GOOD SHIT Sparsie, you sir have waaaaay more patience than normal gamey-nerdy people.
I've always wanted to see a merathon of the game, perhaps you learn a good safe route and go to AGDQ!! =D

And for the second visit, all of the remaining Digimon adding up to 3 Prosperity-Points are faster to get at that point. Basically, if he spawned I would have simply walked past him and continued the run regularly :D
Awesome! This gave me a quick reminder for when my copy finally turns up! It's been 15 years! :D
Thanks for running this game, love it and wanna stream this game soon. Cheers! Gg!
I loved this game but I never got very far as my digimon would always end up turning to poo :(
+Wolfjack85 Yours too eh
Oh my goat I remember this. I spend so much time playing this. And personally I think this is the best Digimon game ever.
Shit, the cave will open in 5 days regardless of you moving any dirt? I am never moving dirt for another playthrough again. Half-way to the entrance of the cave, gotta poop...
Well, you're losing easy stats training there.
Jobson Gilberto Barros Amorim actually, you easily out do the stats gained by training and fighting
InfernalDalek nope it will be 1 day._.
Its efficient stats because it takes less time than actual training. Id still do it if you're doing a casual playthrough.
No, you can unlock the cave in 1 day if you remove the dirt, plus you will gain 5000 bits 500 HP, 50 OF, 50 Df...which is pretty helpful at the beginning of the game
Good job on your speedrun. And excellent, excellent commentary! :D
I had the game back then and couldn't beat it, because of that stupid fortress bug. Srsly. I wasted hours on that. Just to find out years later, it wasn#t even possible in my PAL version. fml ^^
First time i watch a speedrun from start i finish. Fantastic work! 👏🏻
1:08:12 wait what?
elemental advantages exist in Digimon World?
it's 2022, and I never knew that
I know this is mega old, but great video. It was nice to come back to this old world, even if it was only watching!
Wow, I could never figure this game out as a kid. You make it look easy! Glad to see awesome people like you speedrunning this thing.
Im excited to watch this playthrough!
I love Digimon
We miss you and the content you gave us.
Wow dude! You just killed that fucking game! As a kid I was never able to get even close to finishing off, I had about 35 points best I think but I also hat that stupid PAL bug but DUDE!!! You know how that shit works and it looks so easy and the face that you've finished the game hundreds of time and I feel so dumb right now because I wouldn't even know exactly how to get which digivolution... Just wow, I'm speechless! I could probably finish the game without the bug just fine now but I would do everything randomly and you had it all mapped out and I don't even want to think about what you might be feeling and thinking when you try to go fur such a run! There are so many things that could go wrong, I would so insane and not only within the game, also things like getting thirsty and having to take a break or something but you seemed to didn't even do that. And the closer you get to finish this thing the more nerves you get and it's just incredible how you didn't make any mistakes and to me it seemed just perfect. When I saw that this video was only 1 1/2 hrs long, I thought about how that might be a fake or cheated somehow because I couldn't even imagine one beating the game that fast! Just wow, dude...
Took me and my friend fucking months to beat this game
Had a look at how long to beat - it says the game is about 35 hours.. can't wait to see you destroy it
I love this game and played it many many many many times in my life for many many many many hours, but due to the PAL bug, I was never able to finish it in my life. Until now! I patched a rom to get rid of the bug and 100%ed the game in a few days. I had the fun of my life.
How did you patch the game?
I am impressed
I remember in my childhood took me weeks to finish this game.
It was really cool to remember
Dude u Forget Cemitery Mansion
And Angel Digimon Place....
31:10 I had no idea that was there
My favorite PS One game! ♥
+Scott2781 yours?
+Valkyra Sonara (Kyra) So not Resident Evil 1,2,3? Silent Hill? Final Fantasy XIII? Parasite Eve 2? Dino Crisis? Crash Bandicoot?Etc
No. This one. Yours?
Eternal Distortion All of the above because I have three memory cards to save the games. If I have to pick, it is going to be FFVIII because of 4 gaming disks, all the GFs, and the Lion Heart Ultimate attack. Which also interested me into playing FFXIII series in PS3. Of all the FF, I only played FF8 and FF13. When I was young, I kept using the GameShark which make the impossible to possible like rapid fire from a magnum or rocket launcher in RE3, no reload in PE2 (So I keep shooting the MP5A5 and Grande launcher), sliding in SH1 so that I don't need to keep running all over the large map.
OH MY GOD.
I may have to revisit this...
Great memories c:
Just imagine getting this game when it releases, and you don't own a save cartridge for your Playstation!
This is wicked impressive, you should be proud of this! Amazing run
“This is currently a WR”, “this is a... Pretty decent run”, that modesty tho
Very entertaining and i love your explanations, nice speedrun man!
genial video, muchas gracias que casi lloro al ver el final de un juego que tantas veces comencé pero nunca termine por uno o mil motivos mas, muchas gracias !
This was my favorite game growing up.
My favority game in ps1 :) ... I played this when I have 9 years old ... I remember that I bought a magazine games with the tips about the step by step
Cool speedrun, thanks for uploading it. It highlights one of the problems of the game imo : you have to shower your digimon with healing and MP objects to get anywhere in the game. It makes every victory feel cheap! Except maybe the Garurumon fight, but this one is random as fuck - even if your digimon has the potential to beat him he'll sometimes get annihilated because his timing wasn't right or because he doesn't manage to kill Garurumon before his ultra.
I'm still looking for an emulator to run this but every single one I've got is missing the bios and as I'm not really a computer person i don't know where to go or to get them can someone help?
nice dude it was very funand nostalgic to watch this while working
I kinda laughted at the fact that japanese digimon poop TWICE as much as the NTSC ones. Sounds like a digital regional diarrhea.
Maybe so much raw fish upsets their stomach.
Took me like 2 years to beat the game and I regret nothing.
The feeling of my childhood playing this game and never finished, even though I already used the cheat
It's insane how fast you beat the game and the tricks you used I've beat the game many a time but never have tested my skills with a speed run been playing this game since I was 5
omg i finally found it, i played this as a kid on my ps1 or something and i didn't knwo what it was called and now here it is, finally.
This is extremely impressive
Amazing commentary! I learned so much. How did you know the percentage of learning spinning shot? I don't quite understand how learning abilities works.
why do you keep changing the position of the itens in the bag??
Hey, I loved the video dude. Great commentary!
I was replaying this game lately and on that sandyanmamon fight I got spinning shot, the protection and my digimon got injured. Suck on that RNG, Sparsie!
this game alone makes digimon 8billion times better then pokemon.
+CptZSLight Stop complaning about what series is better. Thad be like saying Dragonball Z VS Narato. But for charaters i like Digimon, Mikey Kudo is a better charater than Ash. But there both great
Ario Mario
complaining is by far the wrong word to use, and regardless it's my opinion. have yours all you want, but don't tell me mine is wrong without providing good evidence and reason as to why it's wrong.
if there was a pokemon game with the same system as this game i would love to play it lol, too late for that tho
+CptZSLight "Don't write your opinion on my comment about my opinion!"
Whiny fucking baby. Your opinion is also wrong. Didn't even know an opinion could be wrong, but then I read your comment. Incredible.
opinions are like arseholes... everyone's got one........
Birdramon looks so cute in this game! ♥
Guess what.
Machinedramon dislike this.
I know this is an old video but Great job
i just wanted to say thank you :) i could never complete this awsome game when i was a kid :c
Really enjoyed watching this! Don't know if you're still active on this account but I really hope I can see this game run on GDQ one day, preferably by you since you explain everything in a good way :D
you're so good! Thank you for that I felt that feelings again. :) Your run is so nice! I hope you touch more people's heart. :)
Well here I am back again. After watching the 100 prosperity, I had to go play a bit. Then I really wanted to see another speedrun, so I watched your 1:27 any% which was awesome. Then I looked at the youtube to find that this one had live commentary, so I had to watch this too lol.
Really fantastic to hear some of the explanations. Loved all of the commentary. Even seeing the same enemy dodges three times still impressed me. One of my questions came from your Amida forest explanation. Does that mean that every movement in the run up to that point was calculated? And if yes, does that mean it's the same Agumon fight every time?
Also, never knew speed increased block chance, that was certainly interesting. Didn't know that digimon had elemental resistances to some moves either. Cool to learn new stuff about a game that I thought I had totally figured out.
Also there's one last question I want to ask, because I've never really gotten a great explanation. What effects does getting the digivice from Jijimon at the very beginning actually have on the game?
Thank you so much for all the work you've put into running this game. I've really gotten a lot out of watching all of the pb's you've gotten so far.
Thank you once again for your comment :P To answer your questions:
The movement until Amida Forest is indeed completely planned out to make sure I get the Autopilot and that also includes the same Agumon fight, yeah.
As for the Digivice: There's actually 0 difference. The only purpose of that little questionnaire at the start is to determine wether you get Agumon or Gabumon. I read tons of rumours, like not having the Digivice turning the game into a hard-mode, or making digivolution easier/harder. Unfortunately it's false and the game isn't affected by it at all.
Thanks, for the answers. I can't believe every input has to be perfect for that much of the game, absolutely crazy :D
Wow done with only one digimon! That poor digimon of yours lol Seems like you treated him quite roughly.
Hey sparsie, what have you been up too these days? Long time since your last video. Cheers/
I remember getting Megadramon and it was one of the best moments of my childhood. But no one believed me and when I went on to show it off it had already died, mega lol.
Great run bro.
I couldn't finish the game fully ten years ago because I bought the european version of the game and you can't complete it 100% because of the famous "agumon bug"
Played it recently on emulator and finished it entirely with all the medals ( thanks to the quick saves for always having x4 or x10 stats boost with trainings )
nice run man. also many memories playing this when I was a child :( . Amazing game
I know this is really late, but this was fascinating to watch!
Such a great game! Great speedrun though!
Great speed run! Really enjoyed watching it =D
Awesome job. One of my favorite ps1 games next to ffvii
