Digimon World 2 Faithful Mode by Xuroka

Message:

This hack is created by myself, along with some helps from Digimon World 2 Modding Discord Community. It features the purist translation for Digimon names, along with some interesting game balance in terms of Techniques. The Technique fonts were also restored to their Japanese names.

Note that the evolution lines of Digimon and Jogress results were also modified drastically, with some unused Digimon that unprogrammed to evolve at this moment. The original Digimon encounters are almost untouched, so there is no more challenge in the post game at this moment.

The title name is the reference to the Mode Change in the concept of Digimon. Enjoy!

Thanks to Ansem, Grensuingo, RemyRm, and Luminaires for the assistances.

Edit:
More Digimon encounters are added to the post game for the sake of the challenge.
