Is anyone in the US getting release date delivery from Amazon for this? Mine is scheduled for delivery on the 4th.

I'm getting the same date, so I suppose there's no release date delivery on this one

I ended up calling Amazon Customer Service about this, because I was getting Gravity Rush Remastered on release day and both Digimon and GR:R come out the same day. Rep told me that they were coming from different places so he couldn't get Cyber Sleuth to me day one, BUT...he put a rush on it so it would be delivered on Feb. 3rd instead of the 4th for no extra cost.

Might be worth calling up customer support to see if they can get it to you a day earlier.
 
Is there anything we should know prior to starting this game?
More will probably be covered in the OT, but, like, don't worry about fucking up a Digimon by digivolving it early or late or whatever.
Digivolution is so lax and free-form that it's pretty much impossible to mess it up.

Also you catch Digimon by seeing them a bunch. So say you see a Gomamon in the wild. You'll automatically scan it when the battle starts and get, say 20%. Fight it 4 more times and when you have 100% you can spawn your own copy! Keep building the percent (dunno the max in this game) above 100 and you'll get Stat bonuses.

standalone game, iirc the only sequeled games are digimon world, digimon world :next order . Re:digitized is sorta a reboot in a sense. But besides that, know that there are alot more digimon, iirc both metal greymons are in the game (Chaos/virus... whatever the blue design was and original) OH and its sub only. Most people get surprised due to that dumbass trailer that had an english narrator.

Dude that's messed up.
Day one for me.

Honestly, that's usually me for most releases. But not this time. A Digimon RPG done right needs my Day 1 tag on it! I hope enough others feel the same.

Can you escape just after the scan? Or do you have to complete the battle?

The max is 200% and it is always best to convert at that percentage, if you can.

I'm pretty sure you do not have to complete the battle, but I can't remember.

I don't remember exactly what the game was but wasn't there a digimon game that had that similar mechanic? I think it was the ds ones
 
I've never played a Digimon game before, but I have been looking forward to this release for months now. The more I read about it, the more hyped I get!

I'm going to pull out my old Digimon: The Movie soundtrack to blast in my car for the next few days.

I'm super excited right now because this is one of the games that is pushing me in getting a PS4 (the other being SFV).

I'm also getting this game on the Vita since I've been waiting so long for a new localized Digimon game, I want them to continue localizing them moving forward. I'm hopeful for that as they have shown that they care for their fans because of the petition (signed).

Next Order please Bandai Namco.

I know I signed a campaign to support having this game localized, but I really want to wait until the game inevitably drops in price for the PS4 version.
DROP IN PRICE SOON <3

Wow. I know some people do this, but I don't think you had to go around flaunting/proclaiming stuff like that. No shame.

I'm all for Day 1 purchases as I believe it's worth letting devs and publishers know we appreciate their hard work and more, and would like to see future titles being brought over.

IT'S BEEN-

ONE WEEK SINCE YOU LOOKED AT ME
COCKED YOUR HEAD TO THE SIDE AND SAID I'M ANGRY
 
maybe the DLCs for the PS4 version.

same as the pre-order DLC
ah, that makes sense, since preordering it online is technically the same as buying day 1.

so they made the logo smaller so that you could see hagurumon's face

are the digimon on the cover random or are they gonna be characters in the game?
Woo-hoo, got my money today, now nothing stands between me and digimon next week!

70% hyped!

This coming out on the week before Carnaval (which is a holiday here) is just too good. Day one on Vita.

Didn't manage to watch all of the series, though (currently running through Tamers), so there'll be plenty of digimons I never saw before.

This is a really shitty stance. Can you imagine if most of the people that signed that petition did this? We wouldn't have a single chance again to get this kind of game localized.

I didn't sign but I already preordered. I hope more people do this to at least even out the signatures.

Buddy and I didn't sign but we both have it pre-ordered for pickup day one at BB/


But yes signing a petition to bring something over and not buying it just to get that quick price drop is an utter shit practice.

Man the box art is so good, just a shame that the Vita version is missing out on that.

Also the game is releasing next week and I have no idea how much Namco is going charge for the Vita version, I kinda need to know so I can buy the PSN cards.

This and Gravity Rush next week. Going to have a lot to play this year!

Already have a PS4 copy preordered and I'll be picking up a Vita copy sometime in Feb too.

Does the preorder bonus also come with the digital ps4 version? I know you can't preorder right now for it but I was wondering since I have some funds sitting there in PSN...
 
If you want to wait for a sale you probably just shouldn't announce it in a thread with tons of people who are very invested in it :)

It would be cool if everyone went out and bought a copy but that's not gonna happen anyway.

i'm getting PS4 for now and if I REALLY like it I'll get the Asia Vita copy as well
 
I hope the BB copy doesn't have the "Day 1 Bonus" thing on top of the cover. The cover's too good to get ruined by that.

...It probably will, yea?

Yep, as long as you buy the game in February you'll get all the bonuses.

I don't think so, amazon will email the codes, they are not included in the game package:

Pre-order Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth and receive the bonus DLC including: Agumon "Taichi Yagami" Costume, Agumon "Hero" Costumes, Useful Item Set, and Blackagumon/Blackgabumon.
Amazon will email all pre-order customers the bonus code within 48 hours of product shipment. Offer valid when shipped and sold by Amazon.com. Offer will be extended to all existing pre-orders.
 
Still stuck deciding between getting the PS4 version ($90 in Canada, more than almost every retail PS4 game for some reason) or just dropping down to Vita and playing on PSTV. The struggle!
 
are the digimon on the cover random or are they gonna be characters in the game?
Characters in the game like... Important speaking characters who are involved in the plot? I have no clue.

If you mean are they going to be obtainable in the game, then absolutely. Those are all rookie level Digimon. Starters, if you will.

Is this the same version that the UK will get? I pre-ordered the game from TGC and I am a bit worried that it might not include the Pre-order bonuses. Would be great if the UK version had the DLC codes inside the box as well, since that would mean that every retail Day 1 copy will include it regardless of retailer.

Man..... I'm so anxiously excited for this. I had no idea just how much I wanted a digimon game like this to finally come over.

How did they handle capturing digimon in world 3......I don't remember. I could swear it was a straight up pokemon clone for that one and you asked the digimon to join your team.

Soooo is there a physical Vita version in the US? I thought that there wasn't but I'm confused with you guys talking about getting it from Best Buy and Amazon and such
 
Are they rebalancing the game for the western release? I heard the JP release was too easy in the main story.
Added difficulty modes!

You had to talk to agents in the field to get new rookie Digimon.
I think Digimon world 2 was more like Pokémon, but it's been a while.

I'm really curious to see how this plays on Vita. Other than that, I am excited to try this out if its any good. I love Digimon but I've never actually played any games before.
 
Two weeks Street Fighter is out the 16th. The following week is Firewatch and Unravel though.
word. i'm predicting street fighter will be #1 but I hope digimon still charts.
They are the first Digimon you get in the game. You have to choose one. Not much significance beyond that.
i guess for me it'll be between...well damn i like agumon and palmon and hagurumon. i liked palmon's personality in the anime i thought she was sweet, agumon is obviously a champ and i liked hagurumon in dmw2.

na.. for a game like this if they're on the cover but don't appear in the game, i'd call it false advertising :p

i was asking if they have like, actual roles in the campaign.
