History YMMV / DigimonWorld3

** Imperialdramon Paladin Mode is the best digivolution of the game, for a good reason. By the time you get him, your digimon will be atleast level 55.

* AwesomeMusic: Say what you will about the game, but its anime style soundtrack was pretty awesome, particularly for the AOA and their chilling environment track.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: While Confusion is annoying, all but incapacitating the afflicted Digimon, it is also absolutely hilarious, replacing the battle menu with nonsensical commands like "Laugh", "Mad" and [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar "Seduct"]]. Choosing one either makes the Digimon attack or, alternatively, yields a completely useless message like "[Digimon name] Shiny white teeth!" or "[Digimon name] Tears are salty!". Even the [[https://youtu.be/lcabyILeubE music]] goes absolutely bonkers!

* DemonicSpiders: The Musyamon in the Gecko Swamp and the Jungle Grave, who hit unusually hard for random encounters for that level.

** Amaterasu Server in general, see the example above ? In Amaterasu, everything you ecounter is at least as powerful as said Numemon. There's a reason that the plot ordered you to visit the Jungle Grave right before Amaterasu Server.
* GameBreaker: The ''Counter Crest.'' It gives your Digimon the ability to counter the opponent's attack. What exactly makes it a gamebreaker? '''It counters every single attack and deals full damage.''' It may not be more powerful than Gallantmon's signature counter, but it requires no MP and it's dropped by Tuskmon, a fairly common Digimon whom you can encounter as early as the North Badlands, ''far'' earlier than you would even get Gallantmon. It had to be nerfed at the PAL version (It no longer counters ''every'' attack, it only has a uncommon chance to happen).

* HilariousInHindsight: The premise of being trapped in an online game is quite similar to ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline''.
** Which in turn was also done by the Franchise/DotHack and Manga/LogHorizon.
* NightmareFuel: Amaterasu Server's version of Divermon's Lake; the reddish liquid where the water would be looks very much like blood. The Divermon happily swimming in it doesn't make things better.

'''It counters every single attack and deals full damage.''' It may not be more powerful than Gallantmon's signature counter, but it requires no MP and it's dropped by a digimon that you encounter much earlier than you would even get Gallantmon.

* SidetrackedByTheGoldSaucer: Many players will be spending more time being a card battle champion rather than, you know, saving the world from an worldwide cyberterrorism that's threatening both Digimon Online world and the Real World itself.

** The whole Digimon World turning into Oinkmon is quite creepy.

** Purple Numemon, high defense, high attack, if it hits you, your stats are lowered. Oh, did we mention that it is everything you will ecounter at the time where the random ecounter are at best half as powerful as said Numemon.

** The whole premise of getting trapped in a video game is full of FridgeHorror, especially since Digimon Online does not utilize NarniaTime. Just imagine what it would feel like to hear that your friend or [[ParentalAbandonment family]] [[AdultFear member]] has essentially been trapped in a pod, their conscious in a virtual world with ''no way of getting them out''. One random NPC also worries about her being unable to feed her dog now. What if she (or any other pet owner playing the game) lives alone and there is nobody else around to care for her dog...?

* 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.

** The Jungle Grave. The theme itself is creepy, and the fact that many players probably won't have done the ForcedLevelGrinding needed to simply survive one second in it means you probably got your butt kicked when you first got here.

* AwesomeMusic: Say what you will about the game, but its anime style soundtrack was pretty awesome.
