What is it?
One of the most highly sought after JRPGs of last year, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, is finally coming over to US shores for both PS Vita and PS4. Despite being on both platforms, there is no cross-buy, but the game is cross-save if you decide to buy both copies.

How much is it?
PS4 version is $59.99
VITA version is $39.99

VITA version is available only via PSN. PS4 has a physical copy.

Pre-ordering the game gets you this:


Version Differences?
PS4 runs at 1080p/60fps where VITA is set at 30fps and resolution depending on your system. I.e. 720p on VitaTV.

PS4 has sharper and cleaner character models. Environments very much look like an upscaled VITA game.

PS4 takes up a whopping 2.5GB
VITA is 1.5GB

How does it play?
It's a turn based RPG where your three dudes line up against the enemy in an Final Fantasy 10 type way where the battle order can be seen on the right side of the screen. You can also substitute your three Digimon warriors out from any party members you have sitting in reserve. There's a maximum limit of 11 Digimon at any time, but your party makeup can only have so much 'memory points.' Digimon ranks determine what their memory point total is. I.e. babies take up 2-3 points whereas megas can take up 20 points. However you want to get your math on. You'll be able to increase your max memory the more you progress in the game.

In order to 'capture' or recruit a new Digimon, you have to face it in battle enough times to get a 100% data rating. Since encounters are random battles, this shouldn't be too much of an issue. Before traveling into a dungeon, it will tell you what kind of Digimon is found in that location. AFIAK once you achieve 100% data, you can simply create as many of that Digimon as you want. Otherwise, you can discover new Digimon by digi-evolution. When your Digimon reach a certain level they can digivolve into a stronger form. The resulting evolution is dependent on level and by reaching certain stat points.

For example - Agumon can digivolve into:

GeoGreymon
Greymon
Meramon
Tyrannomon
Sukamon

Each with their own stat, level, happiness, or item requirements. The best part is that digi-evolution is completely your choice. No randomness involved. You can even devolve your Digimon if you want to go back a step, or you need to acquire a certain skill to re-evolve into a different form. Got all that?

There is also a DigiFarm where you can level up inactive Digimon or train specific stats in order to achieve certain digi-evolutions.

Online features include battling your friends and their Digimon. (I don't know all the details about this).

There is also a New Game+ mode for anyone who wants to start over.

I can't quite read the pre-order bonuses in that image. Are those black versions of Agumon and Gabumon?
Yeah, you get access to both for pre-ordering. Although I read somewhere they might be free for all purchasers on PSN.

yea I saw that. I don't mind 30 as long as it's stable, which is what I'm curious about

I never heard about any technical issues. Just your preference of console really. If you have both, it's $20 cheaper on Vita.

The best Digimon is Toy Agumon followed by Gaomon and Numemon, don't @ me.

Here's a visual representation of all the Digimon in the game if you don't know your Scumon from your Ikkakumon.

And it's up now. Surprisingly early.

Now if only I could find where my cable went for my PS3 controller so I can download it there rather than having to update my Vita. Unless they fixed the Vita's latest update killing everything.
I personally would not download the new Vita update. If you can get the game on there through the PS3 method, do that instead.

From what I read starting Digimon doesn't matter - you can get the other two within the first two dungeons. You just have to go from the baby form

I wouldn't switch to hard until you get at least 3 Digimon. You can get plowed by the opening dungeon.

Well poo poo. That's my last option. If sony doesn't come out with something that fixes the 3.57 bug then this'll have to wait until I get a ps4.
Sony has said the PSN problems from 3.57 are ""fixed""

Not sure about the battery life stuff

This was a localization probably hastily put together with the numerous script issues and given no promotion. The only people buying it are JRPG / Digimon fans to begin with

Finish Chapter 1 and once you're able to leave the Detective agency to get coffee there's a "DLC Vendor" right outside the door. You might have to play a little longer to get access to the DigiLab if you don't have space at the time.

MAKE WAY NEW STARS posted:

Do the black DLC digimon stay black if you evolve/devolve them, or can they be evolved/devolved in and out of their black versions?

Seems kind of pointless if not since they hit the level cap almost immediately.
You can evolve/devolve them into black versions of their transformations. i.e. Black Gabumon > Black Garurumon > BlackWereGarurumon

It's funny that they are DLC types but you can get these Digimon normally throughout the game

So using Digimon in battle raises CAM? Or having them in reserves too. Still trying to get that Patmon.
