Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth |OT| Vita Savers

book lists miracle meat at 1mil yen might be an endgame thing? other special items have similar crazy prices.

that evolve form you need requires 40才能 it seems so hope you have that up high. im still messing with raising thay on some of the lower level digimon early on jic
Yeah, I can see those requirements... Had it on 31, so I just used the last miracle meat and now I only have to worry about that subquest.

its stupid im making all this high rank shit at where im at in the game since i can only field 3 at the most. lol

i need to advance way further if i want the final form on some since similar subquest reqs.

i wonder and hope that it isnt possible to miss any memory pickups
 
It's really tempting to run in circles raising levels, friendship, scanning etc, running to the digilab to evolve and hatch new digimon, then doing it all over again.
Also I'm a bit weird about getting digimon scanned to 200% before hatching them. That only grants a little bit extra of that "potential" stat, right?

Also, what about the email-ish system? Does answering your digimon's questions correctly do anything, or is it just for fun?

From what I can remember, it seems like it will follow a system similar to Pokemon.

Your party's Digimon is limited to level 50 when you challenge other players, but the way you train/raise your Digimon will be the difference even if the both of you have the same kind of Digimon.

Multiplayer will also have rank battles. You can become the best fighter in the world!

If you don't feel like playing online, there's always the option of fighting NPC Hackers. Defeating one grants access to stronger opponents.

All of this is done through the Coliseum at the Game Centre in-game (wherever that is)!

I'm liking this a lot. If it gets a good player base going for it in different regions then we might get a sequel, or another game that follows the mold and improves on it. Multiplayer almost guarantees a competitive scene which means a dedicated player base. This is what Vita needs more of. I really want to see this game live up to expectation. It looks good but I think has the potential to be great. I'm probably seeing this game with rose colored goggles. Wishful thinking isn't always a good thing. Still, I'm hoping for the best. If it gets localized I'll be sure to show my support. Bandai Namco needs to know then can get behind games that aren't just Naruto and Tekken related.

I don't think it's such a good idea - you might have problems with not being to be able to put many Digimon of higher forms into your party/not have a slot for that free digimon to use for instant fights. You will also fight many of the second/third forms in later dungeons anyway, so it's much faster than just evolving and devolve everything for all possible outcomes.

I believe that some memory upgrades actually are missable, since I haven't found a way to go back to digitized Tokyo dungeons anywhere. Maybe later in the game you'll be able to revisit them all because sometimes a cutscene with a boss and forced return to the office cuts you off before you can get all the items.

hardly an issue as i have a ton of others that i can fill out slots with. to give you an idea of how many i have my bank is almost full. last night had actually scrapped some. the high lv ones were crafted over a decent period of time so their output is better that ones ill be able to pull from later dungeons.

yeah was worried about that with the dungeons and memory units for when i found out they come from treasure chests too. i should just use the book with the maps from now on to ensure i dont miss any.

i was thinking that the digilab would have had any digital dungeons that ive been in would appear in the free dungeon section but seems like thats for those digital tunnels instead.
 
It seems that website has a lot of the evolutions up for those interested.

Don't know if it was already confirmed but you can get Mugendramon (Machinedramon) from Hagurumon if you evolve (spoiler tags just in case)
into either Clockmon or Guardromon then to Nanomon.

You pretty much see it at the start of the game lol. For those that wondered if it was in there.

How can we even get Namco Bandai attention to localizing this game? Petitions won't work and I don't think nagging them through email is productive either. It would be such a waste not to bring it to the west. Any chance of someone like Atlus picking up localization?

Read through the thread the answer i gave about the situation is the most likely to happen and saves you from wasting time with things that change nothing
 
I finally got my copy of the game, but I got one question before starting.

Since it's the Day-One edition, I got the DLC coupon stuff, but I cannot unlock it unless I use a JP account on my Vita, can I?

dlc via psn is regional

so yes you need a jpsn account.

updates are not regional

maybe tomorrow it rains
Man, this game looks impressive visually. I've never played a Digimon game, but I think I'd pick this up solely because of the graphics.
 

Hasemo

(;・∀・)ハッ?
You might be able to set up a JPSN account, download the DLC then use it with your other PSN account. "Might" being the main word though...
You can't access any of the content linked to the other account on the Vita iirc.

Oh yeah thats right since the shit is tied to the mem card that is tied to the account.

Keep forgetting about that dumbass decision to keep shit single account per system.

And we all know Sony doesnt give a shit enough about the Vita or they would have done something by now.

Finally got my final team. No more grinding, time to progress with the story.
The best part is that one of them is the neutral type, so I can swap him for one of the monsters if a boss is one of the main 3 types.

Since I'm not far in the game yet but I'm really curious lol. So possible Royal Knights related spoiler:

Is Omegamon recognized as being one of the Royal Knights even though he is Nokia's partner? I'm curious based off the screenshot on the official website between Magnamon and Omegamon: http://digimonstory-cs.bngames.net/images/chara/chara_18/pic_01.jpg

Not sure if anyone is far enough to answer this though but figured I'd ask.
I just reached the moment where they're talking about that and basically:
Omegamon tells Nokia that he's one of the Royal Knights and came to this world to save stuff etc.

Ah, thanks for the info. ^^ Guessing it's past chapter 10 then when all that comes out. (based on where you said you were in the game)

Platinum cup cleared. That was really tedious more than anything else, since my monsters are really strong now, but sometimes lack the punch if enemies don't have any weaknesses.

Edit:
151 digimon seen, 111 recorded, not half bad. I've also tried one online fight and one with someone ranked ~800 while I was ~1400. Now I'm ranked ~800 myself. Too bad that you have to watch all the attack animations online, but it's not that big of a deal.

The Digital Network was fun, flying about fighting things (yeah still early, been distracted playing FFXIV mostly). Botamon is either at or near 200% scan and Punimon is at 200% scan just because I didn't want to exit the Network too soon (It was fun like I said haha)

edit: I am having such a hard time now deciding what Digimon to bring with me. I've even digivolved one to it's Baby 2/In-training stage (Pabumon -> Tanemon -> back to Pabumon) just so I can digivolve it to another form.

Currently I have (and this is early still, just after I
got my body/avatar back
):

Party: Terriermon, Nyaromon, Koromon, Pukamon
Farm: Pabumon (Leader, used to be Nyaromon but I switched out Pabumon and put Nyaromon into my party), Poyomon (just converted him from scan data), Wanyamon (ワニャモン?) who I don't really know much about lol.

But yeah, it's going to be hard deciding who to have in my party and I foresee a lot of grinding for digivolution/devolution in the future.

Ok a few things. First I thought some vs CPU thing at the top of Nakano. That was fun and got me quite a bit of EXP. Final boss of it was Guilmon who almost killed Pukamon (but didn't, yay).

Then I got my DLC (Gabumon (black) and Agumon (black) and then I went back to the Digilab and discovered the wonders of Digi-load aka a use for doubles of Digimon you already have (let's face it, you'll face a lot of the same Digimon and get their scan data, you can convert them and then load them into experience for your other Digimon).

I also had Koromon digivolve into ToyAgumon and then back into Koromon. I don't like ToyAgumon much.

This is lots of fun :D

This game is a looker, but some screenshots aren't looking good. Are you guys using Twitter or Facebook to share those?

There isn't too much AA from what I can see (though I think there is some, just not a lot since models during talking scenes have jaggies). The non-talking scenes look pretty nice though I think.

Going to share some direct screenshots (as in, I didn't use twitter/FB to share them, I copied them to my PC :p ):


The dialogue scenes: (well an example of one anyway)


Walking around with Nokia:


The fight I mentioned earlier:


And a quick few pics of the theme for the Vita:

The human characters one:


And the Royal Knights one:


(These were the best pics I could get, the others had icons obstructing the faces of the characters/Royal Knights)

Will I be able to manage if I can't read Japenese? I really want a Digimon game as the last one I played were Digimon World on PS1.

Could always wait to see if they localize it?

But if you're desperate then yes you can get by without reading Japanese, you just may not understand the story. Anything menu related or gameplay related, you can get help with here or on other websites.

Are there any English guides for the game yet? If not, I imagine that progressing through the story, which aside from dungeons boils down to "go to location X irl/in Eden" might be a bit annoying once you open more locations and have no idea where you're supposed to be.

No English guides outside of the menu translations but if you can't get help on here/gfaqs then could always use a method some Tales importers (including me back when ToX first came out iirc) and look for a JP wiki guide and use google translate to work through it.

It's not perfect but it used to get the job done nicely.

Of course that may be annoying for some which is why unless you (aiming this at anyone who is questioning if they should import this) think you're okay with it, I'd advise waiting to see if they localize it. It only just came out after all, it could still get an announcement later in the year.

edit: also I'd expect someone on gfaqs to do a guide for it soon enough if you're willing to wait but still think you'll import.

I'm tired of waiting for localizations. I remember importing back in the PS2 generation and it was fun. I think it'll just be fun for me to figure out all the text and such.

Already imported Puyo Puyo Tetris, even though that one isn't heavy on text.

What is the consensus on this so far? The graphics make me interested :eek:
It's fun. Has a lot of backtracking, requires you to devolve and evolve digimon over and over again to meet the requirements for the final formas and maps could be more helpful, but other than that it's a really solid and enjoyable game.
30 hours in and I still have half of the story left.

solid game no doubt. real nice graphics and music. while evolving things isnt an issue there is just the repetition part in the process but still easier than other games in the genre.

im still screwing around chapter 4 making my digimon but have 100 recorded. most of the time is going into raising the potential rating. since need to get several to 80. friendship stuff is easy as long as the digimon eats the dokidoki meat since thats 20 a pop.

dragging around the flying golden shit helps slightly with money making as it doubles the earned amount. since am curious about how much the platinum one gives am leveling it to 65 in the farm.

I like the sound of that. I'm 99% sure I'd get it if it comes to the US. I hope it does.
 
Got my copy today, day one edition too so I will happily have my black Gabumon! Happy to see this thread and other sources online so active for this game, was worried there might be a dearth of information initially.

Can I play this game without English translations?

if you like playing a game blind sure! it depends on how adept one is to playing import titles really.

not too much eng info to fall back on outside of menu translations atm is another thing to consider.

---

for those wondering about localization chances.

Make it come to the west Bamco, i want to at least try it even if the protagonist is ugly.

Furthermore, the pre-orders estimation reached the 100k that is better than previous games apparently so yeah good sales could mean western release.

Actually am pretty certain they will bring it to the West. Once the Digimon Adventure Tri anime hits and gets localized for the West too, that would be their "drop point" for announcing the title. On top of BanNam has been a lot more aggressive with releasing their titles in SE Asia + West.


God Eater 2: Rage Burst am certain will be the same too with the upcoming Anime to start the hype going.
