Certainly, I was going to make a final post summing up the game today anyway, but that's not for a few hours yet, so I will happily field some questions in the meantime. If you had chased Dexmon, it would have opened an entirely different segment wherein you battled him in the tunnel network which underpins the entire city. It would likely have taken you to the hatchery, where the Dex Digimon were created, however, since Dexmon would not have had a chance to devour Yggdrasial and therefore break free of his programming, it would have been a fight to the death one way or the other. Then, you'd have had to fight Yggdrasial in a different form.
As for if you had tried to let Yggdrasial heal you, that was a bad end waiting to happen since you would not have been able to regain control. That option ended with a crystal Megidramon rising from the ruins of the city to take control of the Digital World once and for all.
You could have saved Omnimon, since you had that as one of the option. What this would have affected is somewhat uncertain, a lot of things were already locked in by this point, but Omnimon probably would have survived the whole battle, and likely would have been included amongst Crusadermon and Dynasmon as one of the knights who made it back to the digital world. You probably would have been able to encounter him in the next quest at some point.
As for Gankoomon, there's not really any way you could have saved him. Since he died when you were inside the inner sphere with Yggdrasial, you were not actually there to be able to intervene, and if you had been then you would basically have been fighting infinite waves of enemies as Yggdrasial spawned them in on demand.
Damm that is a shame.

Welp, if no one has any other questions (And if you do, feel free to shoot them at me still) I guess I'll go ahead and give the final word on the game, as well as the introduction to the next.
This has definitely been one of the better games of the Shattered World setting, I feel. It was nice to focus on a character from the original quest, and even deal with events that ultimately all descended from that quest, and the choices that the players made then. A lot of this game was set up by that; the characters shaped by it. Gallantmon most obviously, but all Royal Knights were affected to a greater or lesser extent. I think this is the second full length quest that I have actually finished from start to end, and it's good to have that. A lot of quests don't get done, dying off due to lack of focus or lack of interest on the part of the author. So I am happy to say that I had fun running this game, and I hope that you all had some fun playing it.
If you have any comments on the game as a whole, or the setting in general, feel free to throw them in now. I will get to the next part, the introduction of the next game in a second, but first I need to answer a question which popped up literally as I was writing this.
Dagomon could have done it, but that's about all. Frankly, I didn't expect CurseDevimon to actually get out. I thought it would be a cool set-piece thing, and maybe a nice reference to the last game, you know? Instead, he actually managed to escape which is pretty fun all in all, since it adds some chaos to the next game. I can tell you right now that Lucemon and CurseDevimon would not get along with each other.
If Dagomon had been summoned, I am not actually sure what would have happened. That was not one of the options I seriously considered until you guys brought it up. If it had been voted, I would have had to sit and think for a bit, and figure out exactly what would have gone down.
Anyway, I hope this answers your question, and we'll move on to the final stage. After my last few games, it has become somewhat traditional for the players to get a vote on what I run next. I like to think of it as something of a thank you for sticking with me for the whole game. So I am going to pick through the various ideas that I have come up with since I started this quest, and post some summaries in the next post I make. You guys can vote for them. It does not absolutely mean that the one with most votes is going to be chosen, but it has a fairly high chance of being the case.
So yeah. I'll get those summaries up in a bit, and I am hoping you will all bear with me for a bit longer. ^^

I don't think they've ever met, actually. MedievalDukemon was aware of Alphamon's existence, but he didn't want to reveal himself due to the delicate nature of Alphamon's position. If he had chosen to make trouble for the X-Digimon in revenge for what Dukemon did to the Royal Knights, it was a pain in the ass he really didn't need. Not that Alphamon would do that, but MedievalDukemon had no way of knowing that and decided to play it safe. Piedmon was the one responsible for contacting and maintaining the often delicate connection between the Council and Alphamon's force.
Though, if they had met, I can say that they most likely would have gotten on well. MedievalDukemon is the kind of knight that Alphamon first envisioned when he helped to found the order, and the fact that MedievalDukemon was always driven by his heart more than anything else would be a source of interest to Alphamon who - as with many Royal Knights - sometimes had trouble with that concept in his youth.

Aaaansd the summaries are done. Sorry they took so long, guys. It was a bit harder to write them down than I thought. I wanted to make them informative without giving away everything about the potential game. Each of the summaries is spoilered below, have fun reading through them, and then tell me which one you would like to see next.
This life is not your first. This world is not your own. You lived before this, though, it hard to remember exactly when. You followed someone here, through time and space. To this doomed world of caped heroes and masked warriors, your reasoning is unknown. Your history has been stripped from you, but you can draw power from what you once were. From the world that was.
Now, you must make a name for yourself, you must decide whether to be hero or villain; you must push yourself like never before, discover your past, discover your reason for being here, and find the man you followed.
Find him before he does what he came to do, or else everyone will pay.
Restore your memory, claim the power of ancient times, find your enemy and save the world.
Hero from the Shadows, a Worm/Yugioh Crossover quest.
Pros: Multiple character selection. Each character has their own unique history, background and power. Crossover game. Different from the current series of games, makes for a nice change while the next digimon quest is being world-built.
Cons: Worm Quest, bad reputation. First quest in this particular fandom.

Once, long ago, there was a war. It was not, by the standards of your people, a great war.
Merely a small skirmish, exceptional only for the fact that it was against traitors to your own kind. You fought in this war, but you were shattered during an enemy action. Sinking deep into the oblivion that awaited all of your race until...
There was a war. It was not a great war; but it was an important war. You fought for something; for something more than yourself. It was what you had always felt was missing from your life. Together with a brilliant leader, you defied the Homeworld and battled to free a planet that was otherwise doomed to its fate. Those were the days; heady, powerful days when you felt like you could do no wrong, like you could never be stopped. But you were stopped, stopped by a blade and plunged into the darkness when your very core shattered.
Now you return. Clustered together; forced into one. Two minds struggling to be free in a world that has moved on. Revived by science, and ordered to obey; your first choice is one of existence. Who are what? What are you? Because as the dust settles, you're going to have to decide. Are you the Homeworld loyalist, or the Crystal Gem rebel? And moreover, are the two even separate anymore?
Clustered Quest, a Steven Universe Game.
Pro: Fresh setting, new characters, now goals, new game. Probably the shortest of the potential quests.
Cons: New setting, some people may not want to follow along. Not much information available about certain things, requiring somewhat extensive world building. May slow update schedule at times.

When the dragons came from the sky, the old world died. The old god, Yggdrasial, the World-Computer was no more. The following years were of chaos and war, as brother turned upon brother, and the world slipped further into the path of destruction. Today, our world is one of war. The Seer Council, the Olympus Twelve, and the Digimon Sovereign now battle to decide the new rulers of creation. The very foundation of the Digital World creaks and groans, for without Yggdrasial to maintain it, old barriers are weakening. Things never meant to walk the earth again are beginning to stir...
As AncientGreymon's once noble power threatens to consume us all, hope turns to three human children and their Digimon partners. But can even they stop the on-coming darkness? And the monster that lurks beyond?
Amidst the chaos, the old order fractures, but is this the end for the groups which one held to power? Or is it merely the birth of a new world, a new order? Who can step up to fill the space left by Yggdrasial, or will everything that has ever been be erased, and come to nought?
The choice, as always, is yours.
Loyalty's Blade, a Digimon Quest.
Pros: Next entry into the Shattered World Saga, Digimon related. Builds off pre-established characters. Probably going to be longer than this quest was.
Cons: Chance of burn-out due to not working on anything else. That's pretty much it as for as cons.

I'm personally a fan of the last one, the continuation of this series. The con is a potential pothole though...

If we had chosen to go through the Demon Lord Dark Area place, what would have happened? And what would have happened if we decided to go through Crainummon?

My question never got answered.
So for the benefit of those of us unfamiliar with any of your prior quests, how the heck did Piedmon escape the Gate of Destiny

If you had gone through the Dark Area, you would not have awoken the Demon Lords, though you probably would have seen their seal, because, well, it's a pretty awesome set piece and I'd feel pretty much required to go into it a bit. You would have met Imperialdramon, though. His spirit is tied to the Dark Area, keeping an eye on the Demon Lords. Probably would have resulted in Veedramon getting his power-up early, maybe could have saved your life as well. Probably would have had to roll for that last one.
My apologies in that case, I guess I must have missed it. It's actually one of the few things not covered in the prior quests of this series. Actually, since the next quest whenever it gets done will likely have a heavy focus on Piedmon, you'll see it laid out in his own words there. But to suffice until then, the Gate of Destiny was interfered with in some manner, and Piedmon was spat out in this quest's version of the Digital World. He was...kind of crazy since he spent a lot of time in that void. Shit happened, and the Seer Council got involved, but he ended up fighting beside MedievalDukemon and Sakuyamon who both hold positions of influence within the council.
Once the crisis was over, Piedmon was vouched for by Sakuyamon and Dukemon, and given a position in the council. This was something of a soft threat as well, it should be mentioned since Piedmon would now be constantly near the others, allowing them to keep an eye on him. Over the years, Piedmon managed to reform in the eyes of some of the council (Though, as Anubismon's story shows, not all of them.) And was allowed more room to move about. But he is still by far the most carefully watched member of the Council, and the one who is most likely to go dark. Dukemon and Sakuyamon are his most prominent supporters, but others verge from hostility (Anubismon) to neutrality (Zanbamon)
Yes. As I said above, meeting Imperialdramon was one possible way of surviving. Also, if the final fight had turned out differently, you might have had some hours or even some days to search for another solution. One possible ending was for you to become a phantasmal knight, imbued with a fraction of the power of Yggdrasial. A ghostly warrior who showed up whenever he was needed, and then faded away into the shadows.
Another possibility was for the quest to end with you setting off in search of a cure. Maybe into the Dark Area, where such things might be easier to find.
As for your suggestion in terms of the votes... yeah, that's actually a really good idea, and a better system than the one I actually decided to implement. If some people want to redo their votes that way, I'd be cool with it, and I'll use it as the default method next time.

I have a question regarding Loyalty's Blade! 
Would Jyarimon be the next protagonist?
[X] Hero from the Shadows, a Worm/Yugioh Crossover quest.
There are many reasons for why I loved this quest but one trumps all others: It ended. Burnout is extremely common in the dynamic enviroment of a Quest and in years of lurking I can count the quests that reached a conclusion thanks to the tenacity of the Author on a single hand. If the writer himself says there's risk of burnout, I have no intention of touching that choice as tempting as it may be.
I also lack knowledge of Steven Universe so Worm it is!
EDIT: Having read the post above me (damn my writing speed) my vote would be:
Worm/Yugioh then Digimon and Steven Universe for last.

No, he wouldn't be the main character, but he would certainly factor into the game as someone you saw a lot of. Though, probably not in that form since we'd be skipping some years. You'd see him in his rookie, champion or maybe ultimate form.
I should probably clarify that a burn-out does not mean that the game would be abandoned forever, I have put way too much work into this saga to let it end like that! xD. But rather, it would go on a break for a while, ranging from weeks to possible months. That actually happened to this game about twenty or so pages in, I went silent for a few weeks and then came back and finished it, so a burn out would not have to be an absolutely horrible thing.

Oh well, this is me being my usual pessimistic self. xD Changing my vote to what I actually want: [X] Loyalty's Blade, a Digimon Quest
