i dig it. looks pretty, the foam adding some verticality to the map could be interesting, and another teams stab at it could explore more that can be done with the concept. think it's better someone tries doing it than having something like pokemon go largely unchallenged for so long even if none of the new monster tamers have really taken off.

even if it's not great it'll probably have a couple ideas and minor changes that'll be cool to compare, see how they affect things, and maybe even make you appreciate the inspiration more.

i've been getting into indie monster tamer games, they're pretty fun or is it just interesting to see what they do different? currently enjoying monster crown, but it seems to be really buggy on switch so you might want to get it on another platform if you're into it.

just mentioning cause idk i think i can pass on grabbing a digital version of the classics since i already got carts and the older remakes.

Re: Talking Point: What Makes A Really Good Demo?

played the demos for dragon quest 11 and trials of mana forever ago and eventually got them, now i'm thinking if i should start them from the beginning cause i don't exactly remember the story aspects of 1 and gameplay of the other from the demos when i get around to them... maybe i'll just continue and look for a tutorial section in a menu.

think the transferable save data thing and just starting from the beginning gets me invested, but games kind of open up part way through so i don't know how well they represent some games. how did arms do it? you pretty much got the main experience for a limited time? the disgaea 5 trial got me invested and i ended up buying it even though i was nearly finished with it, think it was on sale during the trial.
