History VideoGame / DigimonWorld3

* {{BFS}}: Agumon, Veemon and Guilmon's equipable weapons.

* [[spoiler: {{Irony}}: The Amaterasu Server looks like a creppy night version of Asuka's. Amaterasu is the name of the Sun Goddess.]]

* LimitBreak. The Blast Gauge, filled as your Digimon takes hits. When full, your monster skips to its next natural digivolution, heals to max and its finisher is usable at zero MP cost.

* MagicKnight. Veemon, the only playable partner not in a starter pack. Seeing as his role is that of a pumped-up JackOfAllStats, it's understandable.
* MagikarpPower. Be aware of the Patamon, dude, or he will wind-slice you to hell.
* MetalSlime. Not really metallic, but Numemons of all colors are always swift and brutal to your own mons, regardless of evolution. Maybe to compensate them for their ButtMonkey role in the anime.

* MutuallyExclusivePowerups. Equipping weapons/armor with special effects will null those provided by accesories (yes, that's why your Counter Crest stopped working).

* NowWhereWasIGoingAgain. It's very easy to get lost on what you were supposed to do or on who to talk to.
* PaintItBlack: All of the Ameratsu boss Digimon are the black colored versions of Digimon.

* DemotedBoss: Digimon are often featured in tamer battles a few hours before they can be fought in random battles.

* GuideDangIt: To get the fishing pole, you must talk to the fisherman Tai Kong Wong at Shell Beach and he will tell you to bring him a pole, string and a hook. While the hook is easy enough to get (you get it from an NPC), the pole and string may cause some head scratching. The "pole" in this case is [[BladeOnAStick Bamboo Spear]], a relatively cheap weapon you can buy from vendors. While its description mentioning that it is "like a pole" ''may'' be considered enough of a hint, the "string" is next to impossible to figure out without a guide: it's Spider Web, a RandomDrop from Dokugumon. It's an in-battle item that lowers the opponent's speed and ''nothing'' in the game hints at it being the string Tai Kong Wong is talking about.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading. Self explanatory.

* NintendoHard: For some people.

* RandomEncounters: They can (and ''will'') shoot up in difficulty if you are careless.

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 (Or so it seems) traps Junior and his friends inside the game, and he sets out to stop them with his Digimon partners. The core gameplay is similar to many turn-based {{EasternRPG}}s.

** The Knightmons in the Amaterasu Bridge are even worse. [[spoiler: Without the 4 colored cards, they can't be defeated at all. You can't even run away, ensuring you a game over.]]

* NeverSayDie: Averted generally, though the battles state your partners are KO'd or enemy Digimon are just defeated. [[FridgeBrilliance But Digimon never really die so it makes sense.]]

* VideoGameGeography / EldritchLocation: Mobius Desert. It's easy to get lost in it due to its atypical geometry, seeming endlessness, and the identicality of all its cells (except for [=NPCs=]). It is in fact a 4x4 toroidal grid, which may be exited only by moving in the right direction from the right cell.

The third installment in the ''DigimonWorld'' series, known as ''Digimon World 3'' in NTSC regions and ''Digimon World 2003'' for PAL regions ([[NoExportForYou since they never got]] ''DigimonWorld2''). The most significant difference is that in ''Digimon World 2003'', it is possible to continue after what is the finale of ''Digimon World 3''.

** And when you enter in the Amaterasu Server, it just gets nonsensical. You can have an area with Megas, Ultimates, Champions and Rookies 'dealing the same damage.'

* FetchQuest: This game has so many of them, they could get their own page.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Suzaku Leader, fitting to her oriental dancer outfit.

* BonusBoss. The six Black Megas, as fans affectionately call them.

* {{BFS}}: Agumon, Veemon and Guilmon's equipable weapons.

* FetchQuest: There's so many of them, they could get their own page.

* FetchQuest: Leads to...

* ElementalRockPaperScissors. When you realize it's there, you will be almost done with the adventure. But players that can strike weak points ForMassiveDamage will feel a lot better.

* LevelFiveOnix. There are many Ultimate and Champion digimons that aren't really strong at the begining of the game, such as Kuwagamon and Triceramon. When going to the West Sector and to the Amaterasu Server, the game inverts it. Many Champion-level digimon and sometimes even Rookie-level are stronger than an Ultimate that you fought at Asuka server.

* StupidityIsTheOnlyOption: At Byakko City. The "Tamers" in the gym are obviously evil, with their military uniforms, but you've no choice to walk right into their trap.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Junior & Co. enters Jungle Grave and soon encounter Zanbamon, they exchange words then fight, upon making his attack, Zanbamon cause huge damage resulting the Digimon currently in use to automatically run away.

** Bulbmon is a boss example, running away after having it's health at critical point. Only at the first encounter though.

* MoreDakka: Armormon, Monmon's Ultimate form, is essentially a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot robotic centaur outfitted with enough guns to take on a small army]]... and it's Finisher has it ''fire every single one of them at the enemy''. Of course, there is no such thing as enough dakka... though Cannondramon, its Mega stage which is [[UpToEleven a giant dinosaur with cannons up the wazoo]] comes pretty darn close.

* BeefGate: You will encounter ''alot'' of these in this game.

* AwesomeButImpractical : Many finishers ultimately falls into this. Cool animations, but the damage are comparable to standard elemental moves that you can unlock and costs way higher than those moves, sometimes it's even weaker than the standard attack. There's a lot of cases where a player wonder why their Mega finisher deals little damage after the DifficultySpike on Amaterasu Server.

** You run away even if you can beat him, because you have to get Sepikmon's mask first, unfortunately.

* AwesomeButImpractical : Many finisher ultimately falls into this, cool animation, but its damage are comparable to standard elemental moves that you can unlock soon and costs way higher than those move, sometime its even weaker than standard attack. Surprisingly this actualy caught tons of player, there's a lot of case where a player wondered why their Mega finisher deals little damage after the DifficultySpike on Amaterasu Server.

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: Asuka City has a card shop with four tamers, each one with two sets of decks: a weak deck you see at the beginning and a buffed-up deck you usually see near the endgame. There's also a Divermon that has two sets of cards: ginormous powerhouses sold at ungodly amounts of cash at the beginning of the game (including Blackwargrowlmon, a brown Mega card you can practically cast for free and who is not easily countered at that point of the game) and more dullish cards near the endgame. Both the tamers and Divermon are programmed to switch cards after a point in the game, but the tamers will immediately override that and switch to their endgame decks if the player manages to buy at least one of the cards on Divermon's "powerhouse" set. You'll basically get screwed by the first card tamers that you can play against if you so much buy one of the powerful cards, but to be fair you'd have to be incredibly patient in order to get that much money so early in the game (read: you've got to be cheating).

* ContinuingIsPainful: If all of your Digimon get [=KO'd=], you'll be sent back to the title screen. Haven't saved the game in a while? Too bad!

* VideoGameGeography / EldritchLocation: Mobius Desert. It's easy to get lost in it due to its atypical geometry, seeming endlessness, and the identicality of all its cells (except for NPCs). It is in fact a 4x4 toroidal grid, which may be exited only by moving in the right direction from the right cell.
