Age gap keeps widening

[Conte Curatori]

and I can't seem to do anything to fix the issue.
It all started with a 5 days gap 'cause one of the mon died too early and since then has been a struggle. Today has reached 10 days and it makes it hard to have 2 Ultimate
Is there a way to fix the problem without starting a new game?

How far are you in the game? You can modify a digimon's life through extending it via NPCs in the end game dungeons. You also have the option of lowering a life through items. That is the best you will be able to do.

A digimon will always die early if it misses an evolution step. I would try to exploit that.

[Conte Curatori]

I'm currently playing Chapter 4
I had a couple of those yes, tried to keep one as healthy as possible by eating at the restaurant with the life lenghtening cocktail.
Keeping the evolution willingly faulty may work, I'll try next Generation. Thank you

I've also just noticed I can transfer hours from one to another from the Hospital, may try to tweak extra in that way

If you have access to them the devil chips reduce life by an entire day.

[Conte Curatori]

Yea I did use a couple but didn't really change much. The digimon decided it wanted to live

[Mr. White]

It's pretty easy with the devil chips to balance out the ages, if you wan't them exactly the same age it may not work that way. (Proven via experience one may just REFUSE to die for a day or two.)

I mitigated this myself with multiple egg cycles. In other words the first deaths refused to happen evenly, but when I forced the devil chips again on the new eggs they passed away at the same time finally. Think in my case it took TWO cycles, and not one.

You also do not have to worry about tanking stats, as the base stat for your digimon will come from percentage of highest stats ever obtained through the life cycles.

[Conte Curatori]

Unfortunately I only have Gaburimon who sells them very unreliably, I'm still far from LadyDevimon

No absolutely not worried about the stats, I have that tree maxxed, I'm just annoyed by this "Digievolution chase" going on

[Mr. White]

Well sadly they age at the rate they age, and only the food to increase life (late game just like the chips) is a later game thing. You can start getting restaurant resources somewhat early just look up how the quest line goes for the (Seraphmon?. ) Once you get the life extension drink this issue becomes mute all the same.

I had this issue mid game, so what I did was just train the young digimon with the stronger one, but I didn't have max stats so that's one of the things that is suppose to help you use up the life cycles in this event. Otherwise alternatively killing time with quests, and farming.

marine angemon can trade life between your mons, food can extend one of their lives until they are similar, deviwoman can sell you chips that decrease life so you can kill one faster. All ways to sync back up

[Conte Curatori]

I still have to continue the save but yea, between MarineAngemon and the chips I'm somewhat getting near to evening it out

[Teratus]

I had this issue on the Ps4 version as well, it's one reason why I tend to prefer the original World game and only having the one Digimon tbh.

But this game is also really good and once you get the hang of it it's not so bad.

I'd kill for a remake of the original World though.. hell i'd even take a Steam port of it XD
I still got a copy on Ps1, but after watching so many videos of it on Pc with visual enhancements i'm so tempted to just emulate it myself for future plays..

[Conte Curatori]

I prefer the 1 Digimon formula as well but as you pointed out the one allowing that is costrained by either console or emulator
There's always, hopefully, the next game

[Darthjawa]

there is also a mod you can get to let you change there age if you really want

[Amrehlu]

Having them a few days apart is a huge benefit, not sure why you would want to line them up. Having a Mega and being able to use the mega to train your rookie by winning fight and upping every stat by 26 and hp/mp by 260 every fight for a long while is pretty good. And you can just do that back-and-forth and keep scaling their stats easily.

But as people said, Devil Chips help, MarineAngiemon lets you trade 6 hours between your mons to help even them out. You can feed the older one life extending food from the restaurant and/or grind your soul to dust farming rotting melons to keep giving it more time if you don't want to just kill them off faster.

But like I said, it is nothing but a benefit to have them a few days apart. Digimon grow faster and easier from combat at lower stages so having a Champion, Ultimate or Mega to carry a rookie to godhood is nice. It will also gain stats while doing it, you make huge amounts of money, which then you invest into either good stat food or life extending food so you can keep grinding stats up longer.

Worst case you can also just use a stone to digivolve it up if you REALLY need a second Mega. To be fair, ExE is insane so having them be able to do that is important for progressing faster.

A final option, on the next rotation of their deaths, use a stone to evolve one into Numemon, he dies very young because he doesn't have an Ultimate or anything, so that might help tightening a particularly large gap. Of course it does hurt your Digimon's stats if they're dying with low stats.

Last 2 paragraphs are bs.
You always keep 10% (or more with skillpoints) of the highest value that partner has achieved in any stat. So it doesn't matter if you didn't get higher than that, as you're guaranteed to get the same value back.

Secondly, using ExE to brute force early recruitment fights is fine, but absolutely unnecessary.

Also, i prefer to keep them the same age, so i get my digivolutions and deaths at the same time for asthetic purposes.
Having them, like, a day apart is fine, but when you further desync them it becomes chaotic and you won't get much done

Just Use the mod that tell you the life span then use food/Devil Chips/NPCs to get that time close to gather. then you can do 1 of 2 things use Devil chips to kill them off at the same time or make it for they pass away together when they go to sleep
