Super excited for Digimon survive, not only because its new and fresh but because I like that the story of the game will be through a visual novel style telling. If you've ever played a visual novel game you probably know what I mean. Also the fact that they are FINALLY getting into the darker parts of Digimon, yes they had some dark moments in the animes and a few games. But never like how they are advertising it here.
This brings me to my hopes for the game. I hope that they don't skimp out on the dark part, and just make it "Digimon/ person dies because you lost this battle". I wan't detail and conflict. For example if you've made multiple friends in the game and some one dies because of YOU, the other characters will cry and possibly take there anger out on you blaming you. IF it was the human dying, their partner/s would have a conflict with you. Another thing is I hope the locations, story and battles of the game take some info of Digimon and use them to enchance the immersion. I'd love to have a arc in the game where you have to go through a forest that contains Cherrymon/Jyureimon and they attempt to display illusions and lure you into the forest so that they can absorb you as nutrients and you must battle your way out to survive.
Oh and also that there will be a variety of digimon, I saw some digimon I was unfamiliar with in the video showcasing 5 minutes of gameplay, so I hope that there will be a large roster. (Hoping for Veedramon - Ulforceveedramon!)
unfortunately the roster is just 100 + alpha. They said that they won't include digimon that looks sci-fi and doesn't fit the theme of the environment.
What do you mean by sci-fi Digimon? If they have to fit the environment, which I assume it's lika an island with different biomes similar to File Island, here's some Digimon that in my opinion are a must:
1. Elecmon > Aegiomon > Aegiochusmon > Jupitermon
2. V-mon > V-dramon > Aero V-dramon > Ulforce V-dramon
3. Alraumon > Fairymon > Shutumon > Ancient Irismon
4. Armadimon > Ankylomon > Triceramon > Spinomon
5. Coronamon > Firamon > Flaremon > Apollomon
6. Lunamon > Lekismon > Crescemon > Dianamon
7. Tentomon > Kabuterimon > Atlur Kabuterimon > Herakle Kabuterimon
8. Piyomon > Birdramon > Garudamon > Hououmon

10. Hawkmon > Aquilamon > Yatagaramon (2006) > Ravemon
11. Renamon > Kyubimon > Taomon > Sakuyamon
12. Floramon > Kiwimon > Sirenmon > Ceresmon
13. Labramon > Siesamon > Cerberumon > Plutomon
14. Kamemon > Gawappamon > Shawujinmon > Jumbo Gamemon
15. Phascomon > Porcupamon > Astamon > Belphemon RM
16. Pico Devimon > Devimon > Vamdemon > Demon
17. DORUmon > DORUgamon > DORUguremon > DORUgoramon
18. Liamon > Liollmon > Loader Liomon > Bantyo Liomon
19. Falcomon > Diatrymon > Yatagaramon > Valdurmon
20. Dokunemon > Kuwagamon > Okuwamon > Grand Kuwagamon
21. Ryudamon > Ginryumon > Hisyaryumon > Ouryumon
22. Erismon > Filmon > Stefilmon > Erismon's Mega
23. Blucomon > Chackmon > Blizzarmon > Ancient Megatheriummon
24. Vorvomon > Lavorvomon > Lavogaritamon > Volcanicdramon
25. Palmon > Togemon > Lilimon > Rosemon
26. Gomamon > Ikkakumon > Zudomon > Vikemon
27. Impmon > Black Tailmon > Lady Devimon > Lilithmon
28. Dracumon > Sangloupmon > Matadrmon > Grand Dracumon
29. Funbeemon > Waspmon > Cannondramon > Tiger Vespamon
30. Otamamon > Ranamon > Mermaidmon > Ancient Mermaidmon
31. Swimmon > Rukamon > Whamon > Neptunemon
32. Gabumon > Garurumon > Were Garurumon > Mercurymon
33. Meicoomon > Tobucatmon > Skull Baluchimon > Dinotigermon
34. Mushmon > Arbormon > Petaldramon > Ancient Troiamon
35. Bearmon > Gryzmon > Grappu Leomon > Marsmon
36. Kudamon > Reppamon > Tyilinmon > Sleipmon
37. Plotmon > Tailmon > Angewomon > Junomon
38. Patamon > Angemon > Holy Angemon > Valkyrimon
39. Goburimon > Grottemon > Gigasmon > Ancient Volcamon
40. Agumon > Tyranomon > Master Tyranomon > Ancient Greymon
Among many others. Essentially Digimon that may ressemble mammals, birds, insects, plants or mythological creatures in the most organic possible way. Also the recolours from Digimon World 1 and most of the Armor Digimon would make great as enemies.
