I'm planning on using my usual team of Terriermon and Lopmon to get things rolling. After putting 100 hours into Dusk I discovered that I have way too many favorite Digimon for one party.
The Digimon games are great regardless of show knowledge. Hop right in!

Hagurumon is a starter choice!
Candlemon's not in this game, sadly. You can look at who made it in here.
Holy crap, who's Examon?
Looks straight Biblical! Edgiest Dragon. (I must have him.)
And Cherubimon (Virtue) is so cute~
Also, one more question. With the DLC, seeing as they are actual Digimon. If you mis-digivolve them or something, are you essentially screwed over? I really want Omegamon Zwart and I would hate to slip on the wrong banana there.

Examon is a mega level Digimon that has never been in any Digimon anime except for Xros Wars. It is also one of the mega level evolution available in the Digimon World Re;Digitize game.
For the evolution question, if the gameplay follows DS Digimon games closely then you wouldn't have to worry about mis-digivolving since the game has pretty lax evolution system. Throughout the game you can not only evolve a Digimon to a higher evolution level (e.g. champion->ultimate) but also evolve them to a lower evolution level (de-volve, e.g. ultimate->champion/rookie). De-volving is essential since it is used to increase the digimon potential stats and level cap so that you can achieve more higher level evolution.
De-volving also serves a different purpose in that you can change the Digimon evolutionary line to what you desire. For a general example (based on the DS games), you catch a Skull Greymon but you want War Greymon as its mega. You can then de-volve that Skull Greymon into Greymon and digivolve it into Metal Greymon thus going into War Greymon evolutionary line. The process can be repeated as many time as you want.
That's how it is in the DS games. Hope that answers your questions and I hope others that have play this game can validate whether this still applies to Cyber Sleuth.

From what I've seen, that's still the case here! I really love Digimon game's evolution systems. They're easy and impossible to mess up but deep enough that it will take time to explore the fill thing.
He is Wingdramon merged with Groundramon
(Which might explain the two pairs of red eyes on his chest)
To be more precise, he is an ultimate form of Dracomon, albeit a more exclusive one since that Digimon is unique; he has two diverging evolution lines from his adult/champion stage onwards. (I think the blue path being good/orderly and green being bad/chaotic)
Not sure if any sort of manga/game ever used Dracomon, but it's interesting. I always assumed that since Examon was sort of a good and bad fusion, he has his own specific ideals to what requires judgement.

I ended up using a lot of Digimon, but it was mainly: Craniamon (as an digivolution of my starter Hagurumon), Jesmon, Omegamon Zwart, Sleipmon, Holydramon, HeraklesKabuterimon, UlforceVeedramon, and GranKuwagamon.
For this playthrough, I might add TigerVespamon and Cherubimon (Vice) to the mix.
They have Shoutmon and Gumdramon in Next Order, so they will probably be implemented in future games. I was afraid they'd be outright ignored like Frontier Digimon have been for so long.
There is a warning I would give in regards to DNA Digivolving. You can only De-digivolve into one Digimon. So if you had Omegamon Zwart, but realized you haven't yet reached the max level for it and needed to de-digivolve, you would have to choose BlackWarGreymon or BlackMetalGarurumon.
Then to digivolve to Omegamon Zwart again you would need to raise another Digimon.

I really want my Digimon team to form naturally, just train ones I think are cool and hopefully end up with a team of Digimon I may have never used... But as soon as I start playing I'm probably going to abandon that and go for the ones I know

I've never really played a Digimon game before, but I'm hyped to pick this up on Vita in a couple weeks. I'm having little luck finding places to read up on game systems/mechanics. Everywhere kinda assumes you know how to play! Like, how do you "catch" Digimon? Do you learn new moves by leveling up with experience like in Pokemon? Can you carry a similar team through out the whole game or is it more like Persona where you're constantly upgrading/shifting?
Ultimadrago
Member
But then, since you devolve into one of the two, wouldn't you need another DLC Black Agumon/Black Gabumon to return to form? Or could you use a digimon from its evolution line that's readily available to cut corners?

When you encounter a enemy Digimon in the field, the Digimon Capture program will automatically scan it. If you accumulate 100% or more of a particular Digimons data, it is possible to convert that data in the DigiLab. The larger the percentage you scan, the more that will be added to the converted Digimons base abilities.
Moves are learned by leveling up, yes. Each Digimon has a "Signature Move" like Pepper Breath for Agumon, which won't be carried through digivolution. Other moves, however, can be inherited. This encourages you to go crazy with digivolution to get all sorts of moves.
You can carry a similar team though the game but you will probably be digivolving/de-digivolving them all the time. And if you're like me, you will probably want to try out new Digimon.
The DLC simply unlocks to ability to use the BlackAgumon/BlackGabumon lines, so you can have as many as you want. Other Digimon can digivolve into BlackWarGreymon and BlackMetalGarurumon as well.
Nice that there's DNA evolution in the game. Couple of questions about DNA evolution
1) Is it the same as in Digimon World 2 where you can combine any Digimon or is it restricted to Digimon that can DNA in the first place?
2) How is the level cap calculated? Average level of both combined Digimon or based on the highest level?
Thanks.

I would love to get my hands on Dorugoramon, but I don't think they have it- Only the Alphamon line.
(EDIT: or this guy http://digimon.wikia.com/wiki/Samudramon)
I would also want to get the Four Sovereigns and maybe some of the more edgy dark types.
Turn based JRPG in the same veins as Persona.

I would say it plays similar to the mainline Shin Megami Tensei games. You can check out an example of gameplay here.
1) It's fixed to certain Digimon. E.g. Only ExVeemon and Stingmon can make Paildramon.
2) It's based off the main Digimon you use, I believe.
I just really wanna play it xD
I wish I was in your situation
I am currently looking for a job, so other then sending out a bunch of applications every few days there isn't much to do for me, hence why I am on GAF so much currently.

Thanks!
About the Digimon scanning, what about super ultra rare, one-time enemy Digimon? Does your data shoot to 100% with that single encounter?
Paper Sparrow
Member
No, most likely you'll have to digivolve to certain Digimon yourself. Higher level Digimon have a lower scan rate (I think it's 5% each encounter for Mega and something like 25% for Fresh/Baby).
Edit:
The English release will have difficulty options.
Doesn't look like it, which is a shame as I would have loved to use Shoutmon.
Hey man Xros Wars was pretty good.

Same team as my JP copy.
Mastemon, Lilithmon and eventually Paladin Imperialdramon ( Will use either Wargreymon or Magnaangemon until I get him. )

So I assume EU version has all the preorder content included considering it isn't up for preorder on EU PSN?

Bamco EU refers to it as Day One DLC, so I assume it will operate similar to the US and you can get it for free for a certain amount of time.

ugh, the wait is killing me. Heres hoping a store nearby breaks release date.
Perfect, I will start it on hard then, I want to enjoy the digimon world for a long time on my PS Vita
Interesting, is there a reason why they didn't include those two? I actually really like Slayerdramon and it is a shame that he's not in it.

Budget and time constraints most likely. They probably tried to get the most popular Digimon in first, then went from there.

maybe import from amazon?

DLC is Beelzemon Blast Mode, regular Beelzemon is still in the game.
Digital owners can get the DLC free for a limited time. If you want physical though, it looks like you'll have to preorder.
I know you can preorder from Game or Amazon UK. Looks like Amazon is OOS though. It could also be available elsewhere.

No that's Beelzemon Blast Mode. You can get Beelzemon in the game regularly I'm sure.
