This was the longest game to date, but only in favor to the biggest piece of worldbuilding seen to date with the enourmous land of Erebonia. The nation is by far the most interesting and developed with all kinds of traditions and names to familiarize. It's neat seeing how many familiar faces populate the school and even country, and the story while slow, built everything up incredibly well. It's a lot like FC, with an ending that hits equally as hard. I'm left just absorbing it all. I'm in love with this series man.

Once again brought to my knees with another fantastic game. Its hard to imagine this arc was an afterthought. A story of keeping hope alive even in the most hopeless situation. My journey with the SSS may stop for now, but I'm sure to look forward to seeing them again.

No matter the challenge, I trust they will not succumb
As they have proved to me
All barriers can be overcome

Cyber Sleuth:
As a longtime Digimon fan, this was an experience so powerful that it managed to give me the same joy of watching Adventure for the first time. The world and the grand nature of this story was conveyed in such a way that truly blew me away, integrating franchise lore while keeping a fun personality, imaginative world, and great characters, it's Digimon in EVERY sense and I adore it for that.

Hacker's Memory:
Hackers' Memory gave me the same kind of enjoyment I felt playing Cyber Sleuth, with much of the same gameplay with slight new twists, but it does just feel like a glorified side story in comparison to Cyber Sleuth's grand story. Though, it still manages to pull off a personal story with one of my favorite characters in the franchise. That ending screwed me up.
