Yeah. And I'll be happy and revel in it once it happens, should it come to pass.
In the meantime, I'll deal. Gotta support the franchise.

Digimon is for the particularly edgy children.
Granted, that season was written by the same guy who did the scenario/writing for Serial Experiments Lain, so shit was bound to get nutso.

There's a detective agency in the game so I guess bring an Agumon there and do the disturbingly deep voice on your own.
I think it's funnier in my head than it'd be in real life, though. I should hire Norio Wakamoto to be my personal Detective Agumon and another person to translate what he's saying.

It's fine, i didn't want to sleep anyway.

I went ahead and preordered on Amazon last night since I got paid yesterday and it's cheaper with prime. I just wish it offered release day delivery though since Amazon says I won't see it till the 4th and my day off is the 2nd :/

Alright GAF community I need help. I've never even touched a digimon game before, never watched an anime episode nor read the manga (I am assuming there is one) and yet my friend being awesome as he is has preordered a 2nd copy of the game for me. What do I need to do so that I don't go into this game and get completely lost?
My primary questions are how exactly do your monster evolve? Is it level based like most pokemon or is it only during battle after they accrue a certain amount of damage/points/some other variable? Do they de-evolve (right word?) once the battle is over
Is it possible to collect them all in one go? Or is this an arduous task that doesn't really reap any rewards?
Was looking at some previews online and no one really explains these questions for newcomers like myself.

When I heard this wasn't dubbed I did go through a day of wondering if I would want to constantly read subtitles.
those are very good questions.. anyone knows? as much as I love the Digimon design, this is the first game I'll be playing of it

You can get all the digimon in one game, yeah. It'll take a lot of playing, though.
Digimon evolve differently than Pokémon and other monster games. Each battle gives you experience and once your mon has enough you can choose to evolve it.
In this image you have Greymon, the big orange dinosaur dude in the center. He probably started as Agumon.
Now, as you see he can devolve back into Agumon OR ToyAgumon, a sort of Lego like variant OR that third Digimon I don't recognize.
He can also digivolve into one of the four on the right, including MetalGreymon, Magna dragon, and SkullGreymon.
Greymon is champion level. To the left is rookie, to the right is ultimate.
Baby, in training, rookie, champion, ultimate, mega is the general flowchart of evolution levels.
So basically you raise a Digimon, generally starting at the rookie or in training rank. You digivolve it to champion once you have, say, level 25 and at least 40 strength to throw some numbers out there.
Cool now it's stronger so you fight with that for a bit.
Hey, you can digivolve again! Cool!
So you do. It's ultimate now.
But what's this? The mega form requires level 80 and 230 strength? But your ultimate has a strength cap of 200. How do you get there?
Easy! Devolve your mon BACK to the previous rank. This will give it some Stat boosts. Yes it reverts its level back but when you train it up again it will be stronger than before. And maybe you'll want to explore a different route on the evolution tree. You can see in the image that Greymon can evolve into four Digimon. Three are available, meaning he can do it now, but SkullGreymon says no go. The digimon doesn't have the stats for it so he'll need to be raised more, probably by a round or two of devolving then evolving again.
Basically, the game, and collecting monsters, is just you leaping around on evolution charts gaining stats along the way and continuously getting stronger and stronger Digimon.

ok I'm completely loving that system... quite flexible, one can even get mon totally different deppending on the chart one choses

AFAIK there is one unified evolution tree, so any Digimon can become any other given the right amount of (d)evolutions.

i'm glad i don't even fucking remember that fucking scene.
I re watched Tamers a couple months ago and Jeri was just as creepy as when I watched her as a kid.

Man, that system rocks. It does sound a bit on the grindy side,but eh, hopefully I can manage. Will you and Sparrow have any hot grinding spots to share upon release?
Paper Sparrow
Member
It is really improved from the grindy, restricted digivolving in Digimon World: Dawn/Dusk (Digimon Story: Sunburst/Moonlight).
Digivolving is so quick in this game that you can break the game's difficulty if you grind too much. That being said, if you are like me and looking to raise a ton of different Digimon, there are good places to level them up, assuming they weren't changed for balance.
Also, you can use Digimon with "Platinum" in their name, such as PlatinumSukamon, to greatly boost EXP gained if you use them as an active party member. Use three and you have yourself an EXP mine.

I'm probably going to get every Digimon available. There's a trophy for 200, right? Why stop there
Last Digimon that I played that had level cap and devolving was Digimon World 2, and that was REALLY grindy. Specially considering how slow the battles were. I enjoyed the system, but thought that it could be better if it were less grindy. Hyped to check how they implemented here.

I hope so, there don't seem to be any buzz about Digimon in the major gaming news.
Hell, the only person who expressed interest in it from Gametrailers is Kyle Bosman.

Are the only confirmed changes added difficulty modes?
Paper Sparrow
Member
Difficulty options, New Game Plus, Cross-Save, and somewhat vague "rebalancing" are the confirmed changes.
Added difficulty modes, cross save, New Game Plus, 2 new Digimon, and balance changes.
Edit: Beaten to the punch.
It's just not a big deal in the West, unfortunately.
Ah yes the DS games. I really wasn't a fan of the battle system visually or mechanically.
