I... thought it did? But it's been a while and I might be misremembering and just worried that it would based on how saves were displayed. Sorry for the confusion!

Ah, thanks for clarifying! I wasn't sure if it was a save that would be overwritten by autosaves after a while, like in Breath of the Wild for example.

Laura mentioning the ability to reload a manual save too makes me hope that it is.

Autosaves make me nervous, like, "No! I want to be able to take things back! Let me have that fantasy in a game at least!" ^^;;

Thank you for the rundown! I'm especially glad to hear that the shiny changes are back and that sprint is a toggle, although I wish autosave could be turned off.

Do you know if hairstyle and clothing options are genderlocked in this game?

That is a weird dentist. O_o I've never heard of one who doesn’t warn you not to eat anything before the numbness wears off.

Y-yeah. Between the upscaling and the way the menus look in these versions, I just couldn't bring myself to play much of it. :(

Oh good, you can buy a normal t-shirt ingame. Although the NPCs still comment on your "strange" clothes. (And tbh I'm still sort of tempted of shelling out for the Gatomon kigurumi DLC and really give them something to talk about.)

Digimon Story: Time Stranger screenshot where the female protagonist is wearing a shirt with a starry sky pattern, and a quote from an NPC saying the only weird thing around here is your getup.

I've been bouncing between the male and female protagonist like an indecisive tennis ball (the game lets you switch at any point) because the girl's outfit looks like she's a stewardess and that's even sillier than the boy's motionlessly floating scarf, but they're both cute...

I see Time Stranger continues the Cybersleuth tradtion of making the same comments about your protagonist regardless of gender and making things a lot gayer if you play as the girl.

screenshot from Digimon Story: Time Stranger. A girl called Inori says to her father: "You're always going on about 'Do you know how old she is?' and 'Stay away from my daughter!'."

Another screenshot in which Inori sighs and sort of facepalms while the female protagonist smiles at her in the background.

Does anybody else wonder what the twins will look like when they eventually shoot up like giraffes? Here's my rendition!\

I'm also going to buy at least one bag of ghost-shaped potato chips. That's very important.

There's a lot going on right now, but I want to do one thing per month that's somehow related to that month to feel less like time's just passing by. Maybe for October, I can go back to playing a bit of Castlevania 1 (because spooky) each day(ish) and see how far I can get on one continue.

I still haven't decided if I want to get FF Tactics on steam or switch because there's not much of a difference, but ngl, actually being able to play it tomorrow might push me over to switch. XD

(steam release is 6 or 7 in the evening, and then a 2h+ download, and I need to sleep early...)

Hello stranger! I was looking for a post about the new Digimon Story game and found this thread instead and it's so cute. <3 Especially with the other kids' reactions at the end being so fitting.

the squires being all starry-eyed over the knight!! this is so cute.

Both? I have zero trust that a gacha spun off from an existing property is going to live (esp. in English), and while I like Granblue's story and characters a lot and am certainly emotionally invested in them (and find its grind relaxing), I don't need another one of those in my life. XD

I'm looking forward to the art coming out of that mobile game but I'm never going to start playing another one in my life, not even for this series. But aww, cute Riou outfit!
