So the key art from the con is the Japanese box art. Guilmon confirms recruitable digimon evolve permanently unlike partner digimon and the back of the switch box confirms Deltamon and Gatomon. Possibly Alaraumon unless it’s just Palmon in weird lighting. https://mobile.twitter.com/WithTheWill/status/1516952238022823936  Edit: Terrible snipe. Check back a page for cool Card Game info.

SyntheticPolygon posted:hosed up the other characters all have cool partners and we're stuck with Agumon. That's the franchise's mascot, like it or not. It's going to keep appearing forever, with the exact same evolution line, and of course, with Omegamon who will no doubt have a big story role. May be a new Omegamon, if we're lucky. Also we got some New Century stuff. The previously-seen Adult-level bird who was known as Xiqueshou in Chinese has its name spelt in roman letters as Xiquemon in a new trailer, so that's likely its Japanese name, staying surprisingly close to the Chinese one considering previous examples. Furthermore, its attacks are: • Bīngdòng Zhǎo (冰冻爪) = "Frozen Claw" • Pù Shǎn (瀑闪) = "Waterfall Flash" • Yú Liú Pào (鱼流炮) = "Fish Stream Cannon" The fish-bird we saw afterwards is called Huànkūnshòu in Chinese, it evolves from Xiquemon and is a Perfect-level.

In Cyber Sleuth I got a Terriermon and then a Betamon. Both excellent mons, so I know Survive coulda done better.

Is it a hot take to say that I kinda hope that none of the partner evolutions overlap with any of the wild recruits’? I know the roster is fairly small at 110-ish mons and some evos are locked to certain story branches, but I just feel like it would cheapen character deaths if I could just pick up a wild gazimon or something and still get Dobermon/Cerberumon/etc even if Aoi was dead.

Yeah, I really only wondered since we saw Anubismon and Wendigomon as enemy units, granted Anubismon was in a New Game plus bonus battle thing. That and you mentioned you hoped Triceramon was an Agumon evolution, which would be cool, but we've seen Gotsumon and Gotsu -> Monochro -> Tricera is a pretty commonly used line in older stuff I think. Nodosaur posted:I'm kinda disappointed they said that Digimon will mostly be taken from the earlier virtual pets. I'd prefer to see newer ones Oh, did they name drop the vpets at some point? I only recall them talking about picking ones that they felt fit the setting. It's a shame that probably means Mitamamon won't be in even though it would fit really well. Well, that and it's only existed for two of Survive's four years of development. Burkion posted:So with the Guilmon preorder bonus in Survive, will he be able to evolve? Yes, he has the standard Growlmon, WarGrowlmon, Gallentmon line, but you can't devolve him once you do.

As much as Agumon doesn't excite me, I've spent years wanting Digimon games where you have A Digimon Partner instead of collecting monsters, like in every piece of fiction (except sorta Xros Wars), and this seems like it does both, which is a decent approach. I'd much rather be able to choose who it is, but since Survive also gives you a set protagonist instead of a choice like Next Order and Cyber Sleuth it does sell it more as "this is the protagonist, his partner is Agumon" rather than "your partner is Agumon, deal with it."

 Quetzalmon is the Digi-Armor of Light evolution of Wormmon This one is a vanilla with armor purge, rather than having an alternate evolution requirement like the other armors we’ve seen. It’s chaff, but the art is nice

mandatory lesbian posted:Yes this is a very welcome addition. Altho i wonder if this means the story will have branching paths? Bc going for skullgreymon might be a bit wierd if im still a normal jusiticey jrpg protagonist There are three main story paths, with a fourth that unlocks after beating the game once. The paths are Rage, Morality and Harmony and choices you make in the adventure sections influence your alignment. Think SMT. They’ve also said you cannot get all evolutions with just one play through, but do keep unlocked ones going into New Game Plus. So, in theory, if SkullGreymon is a Rage evolution and you do that route first and then do Harmony on New Game Plus you could use both SkullGreymon and whatever the Harmony perfect might be.

I think most of that was from the Digimon Con Q&A segment on survive but is also a compilation of the crumbs we’ve gotten over the years. I should also mention that the evolutions of the other partners are tied behind side events that are unlocked through a combination of story progression and how high Takuma’s friendship gauge is with the Human partner. So presumably if you don’t have a high enough friendship gauge with say Ryuji, you can’t unlock Kunemon’s perfect/mega/etc.

So I'm a little confused about Survive. You have your partner Agumon that you can evolve/devolve into different lines and there are other humans running around in the story who have their own partner digimon that you'll team up with based on the story. Then there are other digimon that have set evolution lines and can never devolve like the pre-order Guilmon who aren't tied to any of the human NPCs?

Zore posted:Then there are other digimon that have set evolution lines and can never devolve like the pre-order Guilmon who aren't tied to any of the human NPCs? Yeah, in free battles that don’t advance time during the story you can talk to enemy Digimon and get items or recruit them like in SMT. They are apparently referring to Digimon like this as “free” Digimon. We don’t know much about their evolutions though except that you need items you get through battles to evolve them and that you cannot devolve them. Guilmon is a single line since he’s dlc but we don’t know about other free Digimon’s lines being set. For example, we’ve seen a Palmon evolve into a Garurumon but a new screenshot also shows a Togemon. So different items might cause different evolutions. Also, evolution is a skill in battle that causes continuous SP drain for the main partners.

Its too bad Guilmon is stuck with Gallantmon, Megidramon is a much more interesting evo for him outside of Tamers where you have the biomerging to at least partially justify making him another dude in armor instead of a cool dinodragon.

Ghost Game 23: it was nice to see some returning characters, and the show continues to be really good at making extremely distressing things happen, but I'll be completely honest and say I am a little bit disappointed that this wasn't THE episode. It feels like this particular set up and the ultimate reveal of what they had to do could have been spun into a multiparter to kick off the broader storyline, but… On the other hand, "what if Adventure 2020 episode 36 but not hot garbage" isn't a bad pitch to hang an episode off of. And from a longer-term perspective, this episode does show a kind of advancement for the cast, beyond just having more allies there's also broadly been a trend towards the cast becoming stronger and more capable even if we haven't gotten to Perfect yet. More of the recent episodes have been resolved by taking deliberate, active action (in a fight or otherwise) rather than the earlier episodes which often ended amicably by finding common ground or by being able to find a way to escape whatever predicament they were in. Doing some orbital sniping is quite a ways away from how the cast got out of most of the show's first dozen or so episodes. And unrelated to that but shoutouts to Ajatarmon for getting in the show next week.

New cards! They aren’t Xros Wars related, instead they’re Renamon support! If you want to see what Renamon’s line does in specific, you can look at the official website, but generally they’re a value engine based on using low-cost options called Plug-Ins. (There’s an earlier Renamon line from BT5 with different effects but they didn’t really leave a mark on the game.) Anyways here they are:  quote:Renamon  quote:Kyubimon  quote:Taomon BT10-039 U  quote:Sakuyamon: Maid Mode There’s some new Plug-Ins too  quote:Strength Plug-in O BT10-109 U  quote:Defense Plug-in C

girl dick energy posted:The right play here if you're gonna do that is using the normal yellow late-game/slowdown stuff combined with the D-Reaper engine, right? Renamon pulling Yellow Tamers is obviously supposed to pull Ruki, but it also means there's synergy with JetSilphymon et al. You could hypothetically build a deck that's the full Renamon line from EX02 and BT10 (so, about 28 cards if you're playing 4-ofs of everything), 4x Rika, the Plugins you plan on abusing, then dedicating the rest of the space to D-Reaper. But at that point, you're also talking about putting at most 16 D-Reaper cards in the main deck, and I'm just not sure that's enough. Maybe if you limited the Sakuyamon line to just BT10 with EX02 Sakuyamon it would make more sense? I dunno. thetoughestbean posted:D-Reaper pairs well with Yellow Hybrids and Yellow in general because it gives the deck access to Spiral Masquerade, a yellow option that can be incredibly powerful if you go wide enough, so I can see a potential mix, but Sakuyamon needs a lot of Plug-Ins to work so deck building is a bit tough How big is the Yellow Hybrid package in those decks?
