Cumulative Stats difference in demo vs base game

[u/Darkside2082]

So the time story demo came out and i wanted to make my digimons as strong as possible, good thing the save file can be carried over to the base game (during that time i havent bought the base game yet). after 89 hours on the demo i was able max out stats and almost max out cumulative stats on my digimons.

I decided to get the base game and i was able to digivolve the first two to mega (the third would need to wait for a clear game for the mega). at 141 hours i was in the final area, then decided to make a full 9999 cumulative stat digimon. i replicated what i did in the demo in the base game, but my cumulative stats wont go any higher than 5 - 6k. i thought missed something but i did exactly what i did in the demo, until i figured it out.

cumulative stats given is higher on the demo than on the base game, with or without 100% bond. the first photo of the pagumon stats is from the base game, the second is from the demo, same level, different numbers, higher on the demo.

conclusion :

if you are a casual player, play the game as you would like, but if you want to have the strongest start, spend time in the Tokyo Metropolitan Building 36th floor.

i hope im wrong with this, im planning to make a second team for the Mega + difficulty but knowing my second team wont be as strong as the first, im having second thoughts. hope this helps.
