Is it still not up on NA PSN? Guess it may go up at release or something, wanted to preorder it.

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth NA Release Date Announced [Feb 2nd 2016]
- Thread starter Newtype-001
- Start date
I live in the UK, but that would be roughly £27.78 so Namco would probably charge £30 for the Vita version...hopefully.
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
Reminds of the PAL box art for Digimon World.
You couldn't get Gomamon and Tentomon in the game nor was the game related to the animé.
Makes petitions like this pretty moot if people do that crap.
PS4 version is physical.

I have midterms the day after this comes out so I will need to wait til thursday afternoon.
someone posted earlier it goes up on launch day.
I think that is why petitions are pretty moot to most companies. They are a decent gauge of interest but they don't correspond to sales. Hell Gaijinworks did an interest poll about straight up buying a game and they had several hundred people who never bothered to purchase it when it went to the buying phase.

I wonder if Bamco sent copies to reviewers.
The Artisan

well, yeah. isn't that usually how it goes?
not in many times, specially when it is a low profile game like this.. not much people are waiting reviews and those who are interested in buying have already a preorder

I read that in ultron's voice
I'm going to show you something...beautiful.
My enormous backlog.

Finally pulled the trigger on a Vita 64 GB. So dumb how expensive it is, but considering all the digital only Vita games/PS+ games we're getting and my 16 GB card being nearly full, it's about time to switch.
And normally I would just import the Asian release for Digimon, but I did sign the petition so I definitely feel obligated to buy the western digital version.

I'm just happy we get a fricken turn based RPG for current gen. I was looking in the store and dear gosh we are severly lacking in......JRPG's in general.
I mean what Disgaea is really all we got right now, Zesteria is......yes, that gameplay was not good. Sword art was a bummer for me......just wasn't that fun.
FFVII which is a remaster is the only other turn based RPG I think.

I thought you were talking about Vita for a moment and I was quite confused
Get a Vita/PSTV, it's drowning in JRPGs. And not just the embarrassing kind. Trails in the Sky and Trails of Cold Steel are huge, quality games.

What's a Vita?

At this point, you basically have to own a PS4 and enjoy whatever you can find.

I know this isn't for everyone, but there's Omega Quintet
And FFX / X-2 is always worth a replay!
Thanks. Looks like I will buy it digitally on my PS4 since I have funds there.

I tihnk I heard recently that preorders have to be up on the PSN months before release. Since Digimon isn't there, you won't see it until release day most likely.
Japanese voices only.
There is no English dub.
Isn't that kind of problematic considering Digimon is a kids property?
I don't think they are specifically aiming this at kids.
This is thoroughly targeted at people who watched the original Digimon as it aired.
It likely would've been too costly to make a dub since I doubt they expect it to sell particularly well. They don't dub the more niche anime games like this and SAO, usually.

This is primarily for older fans
It also has only English text, so kids in other countries are sol anyway

They should have went with dual audio if they wanted that to be ensured.

I don't see kids playing this. They have been aiming at the older fans for a while now.

voice work costs a ton of money. This is the low risk route
I figure they looked at probable sales versus the (not insignificant) cost of a dub and decided it was too risky.
It's unfortunate. I vastly prefer dubs. But dubs really are quite pricey.
Huh? How would dubbing it ensure they made a profit? I doubt many people who were considering buying this game are going to suddenly turn away from it because of a lack of dub. Considering Namco likely thinks they are taking a risk on this game anyway, it makes sense why they wouldn't bother.

You underestimate how petty people can be.
Yeah dual audio would have been cool but at the end of the day I'm buying this to experience the game and support Digimon in the west. The voices that I'll forget about in a week after beating it have no bearing on my decision.

Once Digimon starts showing some numbers, I'd have little doubt that dubs/dual would have a more expected outcome. Not that I personally need them, but it would help for wider appeal.

Fair
. Most people, I imagine, won't be turned away from it though considering it's a niche title.Cyber Sleuth is not aimed at kids. Its aimed at much older teens and young adults.
Its basically an SMT/Persona style game in a Digimon skin. Its also not aimed particularly at previous Digimon fans as its completely self contained away from any of the other digimon properties
