times. Your pretty basic stuff. And as with all Digimon games, I'm going to
2:38
with all Digimon games, I'm going to
2:38
with all Digimon games, I'm going to assume every Digimon attack is going to
2:40
assume every Digimon attack is going to
2:40
assume every Digimon attack is going to have a short sequence of them saying the
2:41
have a short sequence of them saying the
2:41
have a short sequence of them saying the ability name or otherwise just using
2:43
ability name or otherwise just using
2:43
ability name or otherwise just using their normal attack before it strikes
2:45
their normal attack before it strikes
2:45
their normal attack before it strikes the enemy. In some games, this can get
2:47
the enemy. In some games, this can get
2:47
the enemy. In some games, this can get annoying, especially after seeing it
2:49
annoying, especially after seeing it
2:49
annoying, especially after seeing it over and over. But having chosen Demi
2:51
over and over. But having chosen Demi
2:51
over and over. But having chosen Demi Deimon as my initial starter, I kind of
2:53
Deimon as my initial starter, I kind of
2:53
Deimon as my initial starter, I kind of find him adorable to look at. You also
2:56
find him adorable to look at. You also
2:56
find him adorable to look at. You also have the ability to use items and
2:57
have the ability to use items and
2:57
have the ability to use items and attacks in the same instance, which is
2:59
attacks in the same instance, which is
2:59
attacks in the same instance, which is great. No more using an item than moving
3:01
great. No more using an item than moving
3:01
great. No more using an item than moving on to the next character in your lineup
3:03
on to the next character in your lineup
3:03
on to the next character in your lineup to attack. And finally, speaking of
3:05
to attack. And finally, speaking of
3:06
to attack. And finally, speaking of lineups, there is a battle bar that
3:07
lineups, there is a battle bar that
3:07
lineups, there is a battle bar that shows you the lineup of who's going to
3:09
shows you the lineup of who's going to
3:09
shows you the lineup of who's going to be attacking next. So there's no guesses
3:11
be attacking next. So there's no guesses
3:11
be attacking next. So there's no guesses as to who has more speed, when you're
3:12
as to who has more speed, when you're
3:12
as to who has more speed, when you're going to have to prepare for an attack,
3:14
going to have to prepare for an attack,
3:14
going to have to prepare for an attack, and all that. It's all there for you.
