Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth NA Release Date Announced [Feb 2nd 2016]

So how's the story in this? Is it more of a linear sort of thing? Is it mission based? Any side-quests that I need to be aware of if I get this game in order to get optimal digimons?

Story is decent gets weird neer finish, but I dont understand Japenese so I was going through google translate for most of it.


To get the royal knight digimon you must complete all the side quests that open up around chapter 19.

You get access to it pretty much immediately, but you would need to
encounter Tanemon, Pyokomon, and Pabumon (who you see pretty early on). Then you need to de-digivolve Palmon twice to Pabumon, digivolve to Pyokomon, then digivolve to Wormmon.



Veemon digivolves from
Tsunomon I believe, and he is available in the first area.

Hmm, in that case would it not be faster to just
grind in the area until I get Pyokomon's scan rate up to 100%?

The story is great. It's on par with the best of the anime, and it's just a generally all around great story, with the main cast all getting some pretty good development. There's also some really good plot twists in the game. And yeah, it's very linear.

The game has some good side quests, but they're all handled from a board in the office that serves as your main base, so you won't really be missing them. The most important ones to pay attention to if you want the best Digimon are the late game quests involving the Royal Knights and the DLC quests.

Actually 100% isn't even the best, 200% is the highest a scan rate can go. And yes it would more then likely be faster to do that.
 
veedramon > exveemon

You're saying nonsense exveemon is way cooler the V-dramon. And Imperialdramon has both an awesome design and an awesome voice(english).

Question. After doing some research I decided I to do Botamon to get Shinegreymon and Bancholeomon. That means I have to get two Botamons correct?

Sounds all good. How long is the main story?

You'll wind up with plenty of duplicates during the game, at any rate.

You probably won't be going in a straight shot to those Digimon to begin with, as you'll need to devolve to raise the potential and level cap. By the time you're at the point where ShineGreymon and BanchouLeomon are real possibilities you'll probably have at least five or six Digimon that you can get to them within a couple of moves.

Sounds all good. How long is the main story?

Tough for me to say. I wound up spending something like 125 hours in the game, but a lot of that was on side quests or just spending time evolving and devolving my Digimon. Just doing the main story is probably doable in about 45 hours or so, I'd say.

veedramon > exveemon

veedramon

strong, well designed dinosaur. could go one on one with greymon. absolutely intimidating design. confident as fuck, look at that smirk. evolves into a more natural counterpart to metalgreymon. even has a sweet ass exalted knight form.

exveemon

furry wetdream. like someone handed veemon to deviantart. disgusting, deplorable filth. gangly, awkward, unsure pussy look on his face. so useless all he can do is fuse with another digimon to evolve. that further form is the most overdesigned piece of shit this side of modern pokemon designs.
Absolutely agreed. In Adventure 02, I was super hype when veemon can finally normal evolve and then... Words can't describe my confusion and dissappointment as veemon evolved into exveemon.

Aeroveedramon is like my most favorite ultimate level digimon. I mean, just look at him

Does anyone else's amazon order say Feb 4th? I might cancel it and preorder from gamestop and pick it up. But amazon had the prime discount. Did amazon stop doing release-day shipping?

How long ago did you order yours? I ordered mine earlier tonight and it shows Feb 4th as well. I wonder if the release is too close to offer it.

Truth, same here.
After playing DW2 and rocking AreoVeedramon as my primary Digimon I was super disappointed he wasn't even in the show. ExVeemon was not at all what I was hoping to see. I guess they probably felt Veedramon and Greymon were too similar to each other and they are almost palate swaps after all.

I cancelled and went with GameStop a few hours ago. It helps that I have a $10 powerup rewards coupon for the game too.

Game is out in the middle east
Will grab my os4 copy when sf5 comes out tho since i want to buy in bulk :p
 
I've never played Digimo game before will I like this if I love jrpgs?
Isn't it just Pokemon where you just fight random battles to raise your digimons with little else to do and little story? Is there side quests or is it really linear?

No it's not like Pokemon other than the monster collection part, and even then you don't collect monsters by capturing them.

Cyber Sleuth is a story heavy game and yes there are sidequests.

Monster design by Oh Great!

That's quite a dream team if I think about it. Not perfect, but damn good already

I contacted them and they said they won't be getting their supply from bandai till release day which is why everyones order with prime shipping says the 4th.
