Story:Digimon World 3 is a role-playing video game created by Bandai for the PlayStation. You play as a child called Junior who enters an online virtual reality MMORPG called "Digimon Online", which is run by the "MAGAMI" corporation. A terrorist attack on the Internet traps Junior and his friends inside the game and he sets out to stop them with his Digimon partners. Unlike past Digimon World games, battles against wild Digimon are random and the battle system although turn-based is very different from Digimon World 2, the most notable distinction is battles are one on one instead of three on three although you may tag in a different Digimon, battles also feature three types of digivolution; normal, Blast, and DNA digivolution.Show more

The definitive version is Digimon World 2003, it's already on the Dreamlist, maybe GOG should remove Digimon World 3 and keep Digimon World 2003. GOG's initiative is wonderful, but they need to keep the games on the Dreamlist without duplicates so that everyone can vote for just one.

Though people say 2003 is definitive with the post game World 3 had a far better balance and less bad decisions like the reducing effectiveness of fishing until you head to another screen. There is also the 50/60hz issue as well with 2003. These two games need a happy middle ground. Also the 2003 Post game Grind is...MIND NUMBING and needs editing so it isn't as mind numbing. 190 hours on a post game from a nice 50 hour RPG. Though the Save feature is slow in both games.
já terminei o Digimon World 3 mas a melhor versão é o Digimon World 2003, meu top 3 do PS1, me marcou por ser fã da franquia digimon, pela historia, gameplay, estilo visual, trilha sonora e conteúdo exta.

Digimon World 3 and 2003 are similar, but 2003 is more complete. So please, if choosing a version, bring us the 2023 one! Thanks for the initiative and please help us on bringing those jewles back to life.

I remember that I brought pirate version of this game around 2001 on stall. I played it a lot on my PS1 but the game had an error and after bulbmon the game was always crashing, so I was stuck in early locations of the game. I grinded around 1000h on this broken version and always dreamed about finishing the game. Many years later I finished it on my ps1 emulator, the game is superior to ALL digimon games till this day. Far superior game to all Digimon Worlds, amazing combat, lots of digimons, great card game, fantastic plot.

O jogo que mais joguei no Ps1. Lembro da infância, horas e horas jogando a área 1 por não saber como progredir no jogo, mas amando cada momento, cheguei a ter um Guilmon na evolução final de tanto jogar, mesmo sem sair da área inicial antes de pegar o carrinho para o pântano, hoje em dia sei como chegar na área 2 mas gostaria de não usar um emulador para isso, comprar e jogo e ter ele para sempre com suporte no pc e me divertir com le no teclado, mouse, qualidade alta, um sonho da vida adulta.

Oh. There's already this on here. Oops. World 1 is still a good yet quirky game. For 3, 2003 is the definitely better game, however it only operates at 50 fps instead of 60 as it was a european focused released. But it has an entire endgame attached to it. But digimon world 3 in general is a great example of a great idea but poor execution. Rife with backtracking to the absolute maximum was used to make up for the lack of content, but out of all the digimon games, this one achieves the ideal more than most. A limited amount of individual digimon you can acquire makes you appreciate each one more, and their ability to evolve into multiple stronger forms accomplishes more than you need for progression. And i don't know if there's any other digimon game that actually has your digimon get reverted back to a digimon for anything non combat, like literally all of the shows. Cybersleuth, in contrast, the endgame would have you have 3 mega level digimon following behind you 24/7, and taking up most of the screen real estate; but in DW3, they're just rookies. And the digivolving mechanic provides a lot experimentation. Know what you're getting into. A good game this is not. A tolerably decent one, maybe. But as a digimon game, it so far remains my favourite, and wish that Bandai would someday reattempt it's premise in a new release. Great digimon implementation in anotherwise meh game. Love it all the same.

It would be nice if you could watch review videos to see what bugs and porblems need to be fixed and add quality of life improvements, not like Final fantasy remakes
O melhor digimon até hoje, joguei novamente quando lançaram a tradução de fã em portugues. Jogo que marcou minha infancia, foi meu segundo rpg. É o tipo de game que até espero um remaster

Tales of the Tempest
Tales of the TempestTales of the Tempest, the first Tales title for the DS concerns Caius, a boy with the ability to unleash the beast inside him, and his quest to find his true parents. The game is presented in 3D and uses a battle system similar to Tales of Rebirth. Enemies and allies are all on 3 lines, with the player switching between them at will. The Touch Screen may be used for special attacks never before seen in the Tales series, allowing lots more variety in battle. The big feature of this game is the ability for certain characters to transform into werewolves, gaining extra power and speed at the cost of techniques.

Bahamut Lagoon
Bahamut LagoonBahamut Lagoon combines RPG mechanics with squad-based combat. Characters have HP, MP (SP for fighter characters), EXP, equipment, stats and class-specific, SP-draining special elemental abilities very much like traditional console RPGs. The player can explore his surroundings, talk to people and visit shops when not in battle, though to a limited degree as there is no world map and no way to leave the current area. The game's core is its turn-based battles fought on a 2d grid. Characters are assembled into parties of four and the player allowed a maximum of six parties, which are usually well outnumbered. The two opposing sides act in alternating turns so that each party can move once and/or attack once a turn. Attacks are divided into distant and close-up combat. In the former, a party uses a special ability (e.g. casting fireballs, throwing lightning, healing allies) of one of its members at a distance. The range and possible area of effect damage vary per ability. If the attacking party has two or more characters with the same ability, they join in the action to multiply its effectiveness. Distant combat results in less money and generally less damage, but the target cannot retaliate. Distant attacks can also affect the field; fire and ice ignite or extinguish forests and melt or freeze ice, etc. Close-up, each unit in two adjacent opposing parties can act once. Very much like Final Fantasy SNES combat, they can attack an enemy, use an item or a special ability (though these can't be combined and most only affect one target instead of all) or defend. Dragons are the player's ace in the hole. They have their own stats and gain experience like normal characters do. In battle, each party has a dragon attached to it and draws a large portion of its strength from that of its dragon: if a party's dragon is slain, the party will lose the ability to use special attacks and class-specific abilities for the remainder of the map. The beast acts as a very powerful autonomous unit that moves after its party does and it cannot be controlled beyond very simple commands, e.g. "Come!" Out of battle, dragons will eat anything and raising them by feeding them items is an important part of the game. Feeding can improve their stats as well as affect their behavior on the field, and the dragons develop into new forms as they grow. The player can change the characters in each of the parties, their formation as well as what dragon represents them at will.
