Haven't played a Digimon game since the original Digimon World on PS1, but have fond memories of the franchise and am in the mood for a good JRPG. Will pick this up for sure.

Yeah, tomorrow in the evening EST typically.
I'm so excited to get this tomorrow. PS4 copy is on it's way and I'll be downloading the Vita copy too just to support the game!
Gunna be torn between this and Gravity Rush... and then it's just an onslaught of games the rest of the year basically.

Can't wait for Friday. How does recruiting new digimon actually work. Is it pokemon style where you beat them or shin megami tensei where there is a negotiation.

Digimon Capture
When you encounter an enemy Digimon in the field, the Digimon Capture program will automatically scan it. If you accumulate 100% or more of a particular Digimon’s 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 Digimon’s base abilities.
Tip: It is a good idea to wait for 200% (the max) before converting a Digimon.
Machinedramon is confirmed in the game.

It might entirely be possible that nobody is doing a review for it =(
Same here.
Allegra Frank from Polygon was tweeting screencaps from it so I'm pretty sure they sent out review copies
oh , the gameplay look close to digimon world 3...nice.

Fantastic OT Paper Sparrow! When I signed the petition ages ago I never thought it would come to anything, and figured I would just play my Japanese copy when a complete guide was finished someday. Can't wait for tomorrow.

I'm hearing a lot about this game but have no idea what it is.
Do I need to know anything about Digimon to enjoy it?

I'm going to get a Gatomon and leave her like that. There's a few Digimon I'd just like to own to own, muc like Pokemon.

No. You just have to like good RPGs.
My understanding is that it's Persona 3/4 but with Digimon. If you don't know anything about Digimon but like the Persona games you will probably still like it.
Hagurumon > Clockmon > Datamon > Machinedramon
I asked that in the last thread and was helped out. So there you go fellow Machinedramon user!
No you don't.
Gatomon is the best digimon so that makes sense even if not viable after a certain point.
Yes you can
Awesome! Thank you! Machinedramon here I come *^*

When you are ready to evolve a Digimon it comes complete with a chart that shows you all the ways in which you can advance it. Just pick whichever ones you like from there.

The only things I can remember about Digimon is there are Digimon called Palmon, Greymon and Kabuterimon (sp?) and there was a guy called Tai? with goggles and maybe a Sora? Might be making that up. I also remember that when they were in some virtual universe there was an evil woman that used control spires or something to create massive monsters. For some reason I remember her mentioning she was using 200 control spires for the creation of some big badass monster and that was a big deal. I don't know her name and can't remember what she looks like, I just remember the voice. Oh and I think I remember a big ice monster using a move called sub-zero ice punch on water to freeze it so they can walk back to mainland, but honestly, that might not even be Digimon I'm remembering. If anyone is reading this, it'd be awesome if they could clear that up for me! 
So yeah, I know next to nothing about this series. But I like a good JRPG (the SMT/Persona-esque presentation also helps!) and I know the feeling of loving a niche franchise and hoping that people who are on the fence just pull the trigger and give it a go to increase the localisation chances of future titles, so I'll pick this up on Friday. Let's do this, GAF.

For everyone who wants to do some team pre-planning or is just generally curious as to what evolves to what, I found a pretty neat evolution guide. Not sure if it's 100 percent accurate, but it seems to be.

Would anyone happen to know if all difficulty settings are availble from the start? I'm probably going to start on hard mode if possible, normal is apparently incredibly easy.
They've rebalanced the game so that normal isn't as easy, and yeah, hard is available from the start.

Oh, that's good to hear on both counts.
I'm still contemplating if I should go for Platinumsukamon at the earliest, I'll probably want to experiment with Digimon but I want to avoid rolling through the campaign too hard...

Say if I buy the game on ps4, which I did. Will my pre order dlc be usable if I load my save on Vita a month from now? Or should I probably just buy the vita version during Feb to be safe?
Though I suppose I might not have an answer until a few days from now...I'd love to buy both versions of the game day 1, but I'd like to save money if possible.

Get 3 of them. Then just bench them until you need them.
Near the end of the game, remember to DIgivolve them to Etemon -> PlatNumemon. (one at a time so the other 2 can serve as exp boosters until you get your first PlatNumemon).
The earlier, the better. Like I said, you can just bench them and only bring them out when you need to level.
They also have a useful skill called (in Japanese, probably in English as well?) Character Reverse which inflicts the Bug status. (taken from a guide on gamefaqs since it's a perfectly good description: "The Bug condition flips the Digimon's attribute strengths and weaknesses. Remains for the duration of the battle."
Not sure what other Digimon can learn it but having PlatSukamon helped me out a few times with Character Reverse.

Being a complete digimon newb, I'll probably go with Hagurumon (sp?) because it reminds me of Haggleman from Retro Game Challenge.

I know absolutely nothing about Digimon but I've been interested in this game since the first time I saw some gameplay footage.

I have no real reverence for digimon (although I liked the movie a lot), but this game looks pretty rad.
