A week away and I discover this isn't dubbed.
I'm guessing you saw that dubbed trailer?... Dumbest idea ever.
Oh wow, I wasn't going to pick it up right away because I thought it'd only have an English dub and no dual-audio.

Glad I pre-ordered!

This is true.
Still salty Burning Blood.
"Atmospheric purposes" my ass. You're just cheap. Most of the characters in Burning Blood have dub voices, it's not a matter of Funi being behind. They only have to cast three new people.

That excuse is what pisses me, it was fine the first few cases but now you'd think they would throw dub fans a bone.

I am completely new to the serie (never saw the anime nor played other games). I did played a bit of Pokémon Y but couldn't bring myself to finish it because I wasn't invested in the story.
Does Digimon have a better story or it is just the silly "I want to be the best trainer" motivation? Does all they game play rely on evolving monsters?

Way better story than Pokemon.
Yes, you will need to evolve monsters to get stronger. (Then devolve them. Then evolve them again, but this time into something different. Then devolve it again and it's a really buff baby now. Now evolve it two more times on a path you haven't tried yet to get Digimon you've only seen in the list of possibilities. Bam you just raised a beast.)
Seeing as the last "anime" game I bought from them was DragonBall Xenoverse you may understand my surprise.
Naruto is dual audio tho...and that's coming out next month
Naruto is going to sell a lot more than this game.
Edit: Sorry misread. Yeah basically power houses like naruto and dbz get the budget for dubs not this one.

Awesome thanks! Sounds interesting! I may bite on ps4 or vita/pstv, I will have to look if there is any notable differences! (except the price)
And tales(sometimeish?)
This game was only localized by petition, so i supposed that is reason enough to assume they are going for bottom of the barrel effort here. The PS4 version doesn't even have AA, they probably just ported it directly from the vita version and it just managed to run at 1080p 60 by default
What kind of Digimon game do you like more? World or Story?

Ugh... dont show me that video ... it'll make the wait (or the fact we might not get it ) worse. Kinda wish the 3ds game would get translated but iirc its at a standstill and the group was fine with how the psp game turned out.

Digimon have way better story, usually involves a crisis in both the real world and the digital world. Check out the story and gameplay trailer

God Eater Resurrection and Burst 2 are also getting dubs but I'm still of the opinion that the reasoning may be tied to the anime being localized for the west also.

How does dubbing this game help with Tri hype?
Licensing the original jpn dub may of ended up being more expensive (for God Eater specifically) than just creating their own dub.
That would explain why there is no jpn audio and just english audio.

I think "Story" is more like Digimon World 2, right? That one.
That said, I would likely get World for PS4 as well, if it were a thing happening. Gotta support all the endeavors!
You can pre-order a physical Vita copy from Asia.

Man, World Next Order looks so bad when compared to Story Cyber Sleuth. The frame rate dropping in the trailer doesn't help either. It looks like they just ported the 3DS engine over.

I was thinking about doing this. I'd rather have it physical, but would it still let me get the launch DLC?
I'd rather shuffle digital files around on my Vita than miss out on Beelzemon Burst Mode.

Thanks! For some reason watching the second trailer game me a "SMT Digital Devil Saga"! Now I want to try!
Yes, the frame rate looks particularly gross next to the awkward AI.
Playing Xenoblade 3DS, I would of loved a game that pretty much used the blueprint of its battle system -- right down to the instant transition.

So I have this pre ordered on PS4 but the more I think about it the more I can't justify spending $90 on it (Canadian dollar makes me sad) when I can get games that aren't just Vita ports for much, much cheaper.
Anyway, if I cancel and choose to go the much cheaper Vita route, will I miss out on anything? Is it just a straight port? Is it fully PSTV compatible? Could I essentially play through the game on my PSTV and it'll be just like the PS4 version but way cheaper? So many questions!!!

The Japanese and Chinese version were PSTV compatible, so I assume this will be. The PS4 version is at a higher resolution and frame rate, but other than that it should be pretty much the same.

Awesome thanks! It's hard to find concrete info on some of this stuff (or I just suck at finding things)

you're saying it should launch for less than $60? I suppose I agree with you, but i'm just really excited to play a new digimon game after 15 years.

I think the Vita price point is more than fair (even for digital-only) but $80 + tax on PS4 for a Vita game with prettier graphics is hard for me to stomach that's all.
I'm sure the game will be awesome and worth every penny regardless!

Nah, it's not you, Bandai Namco hasn't been very clear on everything. The fact that people didn't know this was sub-only until this thread is an example of that.

Is this anything like Pokemon?
Slim is superior in every way except for screen. Ergonomics and battery life are in the 2000 model's favor.
Does look like the PS4 version will be technically better though.
If your not anal about screen richness then go team slim.
The only thing they have in common are the fact that they are turn based and feature monster raising, but even those things are handled differently.
The Artisan

yeah I think you're right. i have a vita but I'd much rather play this game on my Ps4.
not sure what you mean with the $80, though. I got it preordered for 60. is it more expensive for you?

Beyond being a turn-based jrpg with monsters, not really. It shares more things in common with Shin Megami Tensei.
