Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth - Part Twenty-Three
Back at it again. God this game is long.
I saved Date and Detective Matayoshi from an Eater as I had been tasked to. From there, they told me that another Eater was chasing Arata in the underground as well. Naturally, I healed up and gave chase. Apparently, Arata was there trying to help some friends of his who were under attack by Eaters. I decided to help him out and we teamed up. We were too late to save anyone, but we did fight and defeat the Eater. Unfortunately, the bad news didn't stop there. Suedo appeared and explained his goal at last - the merging of the real and digital to allow humanity the ability to manipulate the world and themselves at will. An interesting idea if not for all the problems it was causing. He invited Arata along to join him in this pursuit of greater power and not even the sudden arrival of Kyoko could dissuade him. Still, Kyoko was finally back in the picture so I guess some good did come of things. Back at the agency, she revealed that she had been trying to track down the Royal Knights and had located four of them at EDEN, Shibuya, Ueno and Odaiba.
I visited EDEN where I encountered Kentaurosmon... and the fucker attacked me and then ran off because I was too slow to be interesting. Kyoko and Omnimon suggested that we should enlist the aid of Uforceveemon (what a name), but he'd been stuck between worlds. To recruit him, we'd first need to bring him across to our world from a parallel one. No big deal. I went to talk to Mirei, something of an expert on that matter. Apparently, we could achieve our goal by creating a new Digimon using... Harmonious and Steel Will... whatever the fuck that means. Mirei suggested that I go to deal with the Shibuya and Ueno Knights in the meantime. So... it was off to Shibuya. Once there, I snuck past the army and set about looking for my target.
I found Magnamon at the end of a long and winding road, but he was of two-minds on the exterminating all humans things. Nokia showed up with Omnimon and convinced him to side with us, as she does, but we weren't getting away without bloodshed. Another knight, Dynasmon showed up and attacked... and he really shouldn't have bothered. Even without Magnamon acting as an ally, he wasn't particularly hard to deal with. With him defeated, Magnamon gave me the Harmonious Will and we regrouped.
Next stop was Ueno, where I very quickly found a Royal Knight called Gankoomon and his protege, Hackmon. Nice and easy... as if. No, before he would help, I had to help train Hackmon to be a Knight in his own right by defeating BanchoLeomon with them. So it was time to sneak into another area to make that happen. Naturally though, Hackmon ran off ahead on their own and got his ass kicked first. Naturally, I joined the fray to help out. This fight proved much more difficult than Dynasmon since Bancholeomon could one shot a lot of my team when he really got going. It was a close call, but in the end we prevailed. Hackmon evolved into a new Royal Knight, Jesmon, and joined our side with Gankoomon. Thus, I acquired the Steel Will.
I headed back to Mirei, but she informed me that it'd take some time to use the Wills. So it looks like I have to go do a bunch of filler missions until the next plothook mission becomes available. I think this continues to be my biggest complaint about this game. I've been playing it on-and-off throughout most of the year and I'm still not done. Now, obviously, if I just focused on this one game it'd go much quicker. But I don't think that negat5es the fact that Cyber Sleuth is much longer than it needs to be. Even the levelling and evolution system starts to become really tedious once you get to the later parts of the game because you have to constantly devolve and evolve things and mess around with the farm to buff the right stats. I'm at the point now where I just want the game to get to the finale already, but there's always another thing to do before I can get there. It's not that I'm not having fun anymore, it's still fun, but it is getting tiresome.
