    I'll raise another couple of beloved disabled fantasy characters right here. :maybe

    Yeah no doubt about it, Loogamon's forms are all pretty good designs to be honest. Loogamon himself is also just a complete Alpha Chad with a zero fucks given attitude. Like you look at his Child design and you expect he's gonna have a similar personality to Gabumon, only for him to start answering Eiji's questions about the Digital World as if he were talking to a toddler and it turns out he's already the boss of THE worst district of the digital slums basically. :kobeha I get that Eiji is SUPPOSED to be kind of a loser at the start of the story (his whole thing is wanting to change his life and be a "winner" for once) but it really does serve to highlight how much less interesting he is compared to everybody else, when even his own partner looks down on him for the first half of the story. :maybe

    WOW! I like FenrirLoogamon's design and all but looking at this fusion form again, anyone else think this looks a LITTLE too much like Zacian to be coincidental? :maybe Even the way the flame aura looks on the back is reminiscent of those wing like things coming out of Zacian's back, the biggest real difference is the silver armor and flame aura. :kobeha Granted Fenriloogamon looks much less out of place for the series he's in and the aforementioned armor, flame aura and the interface on its head do a lot to make Fenriloogamon look far better than his Pokemon counterpart IMO.

    Read/listened through all of Digimon Seekers. It was pretty good, Eiji is kinda lacking as the main character compared to every other major character who was much more interesting or likable, including his own partner Digimon. I do get what they were going for with him and he's a good character overall, he just didn't particularly wow me. It's a shame that, thanks to watching the 25th Anniversary thing, I was spoiled on who the villain was going in. The twist probably would have hit me harder if I didn't know that, but it was a well written twist regardless and the villain is absolutely a top tier Digimon human villain (though I still prefer Kurata).

    How the hell do you fuck up Moogles? :scust For fuck's sake, FFXVI tried to distance itself as much as possible from goofier aspects of the franchise to keep with it's darker tone and STILL managed to make Nektar the Moogle adorable AF. There's no excuse for this shit.

    Poor Raichu, got fucked over as badly as Zeromaru/Veedramon line did in Digimon. :heston V-Tamers actually came BEFORE the anime and there Greymon was just a jobber, but nah the anime comes and Agumon gets top billing and suddenly he is in everything they can cram him into. Then V-Mon comes around (designed to literally be a cuter, smaller version of Veedramon) and suddenly HIS line is the original PURE version and the Veedramon line is just a sub-species, despite the fact that it existed first. :breh Ulforce still gets respect but that's only because he's a Royal Knight, meanwhile V-Mon gets not only a Royal Knight but also their fucking founder for an evolution. :kobeha Feels bad for Raichu and Veedramon fans, it really does.

    https://www.fanverse.org/threads/which-character-is-the-most-recognizable-in-anime.1315436/ The fact that ANYBODY tried to leave out Pikachu when discussing recognizable anime characters is insane. :kobeha And no the "but Pokemon's a game so that's kinda cheating" thing is just nonsense. It wasn't the games that made Pikachu the face of the franchise, or quite possibly THE most recognizable anime character there is. :maybe Goku is pretty much his only real competition for that position, it's almost certainly between the two of them.

    It's doubly confusing because even in the OG seasons, the only characters who ever died were Digimon and they came back to life by the nature of how Digimon work, which is true of basically every Digimon season except Tamers. The only true human deaths (that weren't in flashback) were both villains in Oikawa and Kurata. This didn't stop ANY of those seasons from having stakes. The argument that makes more sense is Ghost Game largely being a MOTW format show until right near the end but that's just a subjective thing at that point. This isn't Young Hunters, a season which sold itself on being a crossover and then wasted most of its run-time on filler before actually getting to what was advertised. Ghost Game is its own thing where the premise is largely based on the scary shit that can happen when Digimon stumble into our world, weather through misunderstandings or because the Digimon is genuinely evil. Frankly that is absolutely fine for the series to be mostly that if that's...

    I can sort of see the marketing argument because, even I'll admit that I didn't hear of App Monsters or Ghost Game until they were well into their runs, BUT I'd also add that the stigma of "Pokemon rip-off" (however false it is) never really left Digimon so that is also a contributing factor to it getting a lot less attention. The rest of this though comes across as "how dare these newer digimon seasons (Adventure 2020 not included) try something different?" Which yeah seems to be a sadly consistent thing in this fanbase. The amount of people who disregard Frontier for NO other reason than it broke from the normal formula, is ridiculous and the new seasons simply got hit with it harder (especially Xros Wars). Now I've not seen enough of the newer seasons except Xros Wars to go against the idea that the newer characters aren't as interesting. I'd agree in terms of the humans in Xros Wars but they made up for that by having more focus on the Digimon characters. Also "There's no...

    Pretty sure it's the planet based on the context so yeah, less impressive than it sounds The "mini-sun" bit is definitely the more impressive feat there. But I'm only half-way through so something else might turn up, it's Digimon so I fully expect it'll go ballistic in Chapter 4.

    So I did decide to go through Seekers and come back to Ghost Game since I'd probably get through the former quicker. https://digimon.net/digimonseekers/novel/2-5.php How much energy does the "whole world" consume at any given moment and what would it mean for our purposes with regards to Kazuchimon here? Though granted THIS bit is probably more significant information here in terms of destructive power, especially given it killed Mugendramon in one-shot? :maybe Also how fast is this, aren't we talking light speed or there abouts when nano-seconds are involved?

    I know he's mostly joking and I agree with most of what he said (save for Vegeta getting off with being the real fuck-up 'cause the fight was good) except for ONE thing. Giving Piccolo shit for NOT stopping Super Buu from wiping out the human race. :breh Exactly what the fuck do you think he could have done to prevent that? Any attempt to stop it from any of them would simply have resulted in them dying. Like you realize Super Buu had a free arm while he was doing that shit? It's not like he'd even need to stop to deal with any interruptions.

    "The possibility of more DLC isn't ZERO" isn't really a reason to get your hopes up, especially with YoshiP all but saying in the same interview that he and the team want to move on to something else. That's pretty much code for "there MIGHT be more IF it does well". And that's ignoring the obvious question of "what the fuck more can you do with FFXVI"? It has a pretty definitive conclusion with magic being gone, there's not a lot you can really do with it. Leviathan's pretty much the last thing there is in the game to address and that's exactly what the 2nd DLC is about. The XIII example doesn't really work 'cause in that case, there was the stuff with the Gods and a ton of lore they could use for what the story could be about. XVI doesn't really have anything of the sort, any NEW game in that universe would almost certainly have to be a prequel and meh.

    I still can't get over the Sephiroth pick in particular. Like I at least see the logic for putting Seymour and Ardyn there, no matter how WRONG it is but notice how he doesn't ONCE bring up what Sephiroth's actual plan was and what it would mean for the planet? You have to cherry-pick the fuck around everything Sephiroth actually does to even PRETEND there's anything sympathetic about him. As I said, it's hypocritical because a lot of the same could be said about Kefka yet HE'S brought as the example of a completely unsympathetic villain. True, at least Yu Yevon was trying to preserve the memory of his city and even Yunalesca had reason to believe what she was doing was right. Shuyin wanted to save his lover, dies and gets trapped, forced to relive his failure for 1000 years, FINALLY gets out...only to then realize Spira's on the verge of repeating the EXACT SAME mistake that caused the whole shitstorm in the first place. Ardyn had a chance to step back, do nothing (or do...

    Hell Seifer's there so side villains are on the table as well, what about Cid Raines? Yaag Rosch? Gabranth? Shit even FFXVI villains (aside from Ultima and Anabella obviously) are more sympathetic than a good chunk of what's on that list and they (meaning the villains in general) are probably the weakest element of that game's story. Still more sympathetic than Ardyn, Sephiroth or Seymour for damn sure. The worst of it is, if you look at the comments, it's full of people sucking Ardyn's dick, saying he's OBVIOUSLY the most sympathetic and some such nonsense with NO ONE pointing out how ridiculous the exclusion of Shuyin was

    Pretty much yeah. He did also want to die but this was prevented by virtue of the fact that dead souls go to the Chaos, the Yuels had effectively gained control of it because of this and, because the Yuels were divided on weather they wanted Caius alive or dead, he is basically stuck in between life and death forever. So he did get fucked over in a sense, a fitting punishment given the fact he effectively brought about the end of the world. He and the Yuels did remain in the old world to keep the Chaos from getting to the new one (effectively taking on Etro's old role) though so yeah.

    Sephiroth - Uh HELL NO! Even with the Compilation in mind, it's pretty fucking hard to actually feel any sympathy for Sephiroth when his reaction to finding out all the truths about him, is to turn his anger against EVERYONE instead of just the people who created and used him. The funny thing is during the intro of the video he shows a clip of Kefka when discussing villains who are "irredeemable", despite the fact Kefka is evil for very similar reasons to Sephiroth. Neither one is sympathetic because their own actions are irredeemable, REGARDLESS of the circumstances which led to them. Seymour - I'll grant you that the actions he takes actually make some semblance of sense, given what he went through and the nature of the world, but this doesn't make him sympathetic or someone you'd feel sorry for. Ultimately he's still a power hungry mad man who murders people while taunting and laughing about it to another of their race, all while advocating for EVERYONE dying as a release...
