Digimon World (デジモンワールド Dejimon Wārudo?) is a role-playing, adventure, and digital pet video game developed by Bandai released at January 28, 1999 in Japan, North America at May 23, 2000, and PAL at July 6, 2001 for the PlayStation. It is the first game in the Digimon World series. The storyline focuses on a human brought to File City on File Island by Jijimon to save the island. Digimon have been losing their memories and becoming feral and the city has fallen into disarray. The goal of Mameo is to save the island by helping Digimon recover their memory and return to the city.
As it came before the anime in Japan, it is very strictly based on the Virtual Pets. The game play revolves around raising a single Digimon from its Digitama form, hatching into a Fresh, up through In-Training, Rookie, Champion, and with work, Ultimate. A Digimon partner will die with age, and return to an egg eventually, so the player has to raise it again.
Fans of the anime will be familiar with the sixth stage, Mega; however this game was made only shortly after the Pendulum series of pets, which introduced Mega level.
To raise a Digimon partner, the player must train it, feed it, let it rest, and take it to the bathroom.
The other main aspect of gameplay is battle. The player's partner Digimon fight the Digimon that have become aggressive due to a crisis on File Island. Partner Digimon begin the game with a few basic skills but acquire more as they progress in levels through the game.
The PAL region's variant cover art features the seven initial Partner Digimon from Digimon Adventure. The group includes Tentomon which isn't obtainable but does however appear in Beetle Land and Gomamon, who is otherwise completely absent from this game
Gameplay
Digimon World's game play utilizes two major aspects: Raising and battling. The element of monster raising consists of feeding your Digimon, allowing it to rest, and leading it to the bathroom. As a Digimon grows and trains, it can digivolve into a stronger form; there are 5 stages of digivolution in total including the desirable Ultimate form. Raising a Digimon carefully and properly helps progress through the game, and improper treatment can lead to dire consequences. The second element of the game, battling, composes the other major aspect of the game. Digimon World's battle system heavily relies on options that a player can command, such as "Your Call" and "Retreat".[3] As a player ventures in the wild, Digimon may engage in battle when touching each others paths. Battles are usually inevitable while adventuring, and they are a reliable source of techniques that a Digimon can learn and money. Training a partner Digimon enhances its parameters, enabling it to fight with better ease and digivolve to powerful forms. Digimon World also provides various mini-games for the player, including fishing, arena tournaments, and curling. Sub-quests are also available, mainly for new recruiting Digimon and other hidden surprises.

in addition to all the horrific shit happening wrt geopolitics and the various wars and hexbear doomers insisting that resistance is futile, i also somehow managed to piss off my roommate because i took their noodles out of an inactive microwave to microwave my own stuff. they say their noodles need to 'cook' after the microwave is off, but obviously the water will still be hot outside of the microwave, it doesnt stay hot after it turns off, definitely not hot enough to cook noodles. i just put them next to the microwave, but they scold me first thing when i wake up anyway. they even performatively put their noodles in for an entire second microwaving, like their noodles were already microwaved fully and were just cooling off, i did not interrupt that for enough time to warrant a second microwaving. of course if i were to point any of this out it would only cause strife drama and misunderstanding so im venting to internet strangers and feds on hexbear. i already woke up to horrific news from lebanon, already feeling suicidally depressed and wondering if fascism has simply won the physical plane of existence, already suffering the psychic damage from that idiot doomer in the news mega insisting that iran must cause nuclear armageddon or else they are cringe or something and the resistance has already lost and every single hezbollah commander is dead because the zionazis say so, and then this silly noodle shit happens. i hate existing. i cannot process these two kinds of existential horror, of fascisms seeming/alleged/apparent dominance of material reality and of my personal inability to coexist socially in a non-alienated/alienating way with the people around me, at the same time. i can't really even process them individually, all there is left to do is bear the suffering eternally.
We can suffer together
