No worries! We can do online matching as well, just like in the first game. Unfortunately, there's still no online trading option. You have to connect with someone locally.

I'm getting Dawn and Rocky's getting Dusk, so there shouldn't be a problem getting the exclusives.

Are the starters game exclusive as well? I mean, lets say Chaotic does get Dawn, just because he can't get MachGaogamon as a starter, does that mean he won't be able to get it later in the game (without matching or trading)?

There are exclusives, but I don't know the full list. I don't think all the starters are exclusive.

Guess I'm the only one keeping this thread alive!

Screenshots for the Digital Squad in English has been released!

HELLO Marcus!

http://www.db-destiny.net/battle_01.jpg
Don't ask me why there's a gazillion Sharp Claws and Pepper Breaths.

I'm still not sure if I'll get the game. I won't be too thrilled with the name changes and dubbed voices as I'm already too used to the JPN names/voices already. Also, I've watched some battle gameplay vids in the past and they weren't very exciting. There's a pause after every single command, which can get annoying after a awhile. I also spend way more time with my handhelds than with my consoles too. I find more fun games on the handhelds nowadays.

Of course, I'm definitely getting the DS sequel. The online mode will be uber sweet. Battle with Digimon = awesome. I'm SOOO gonna get a Megidramon.

Ah, here I am again with more news!! The Digimon Savers movie has been released by WPP!

Get it here!
Keep in mind it's in MKV extension.

Holy crap!! I'm getting over 128kb/s! Get it while it's hot!

Update: Whoo! Got it so quick!! Gonna watch tomorrow!

I might have asked you this already, but does the movie take place between any particular episodes of the series? I like to watch things in order, so I'd want to watch this as close as possible to when it's supposed to take place.

And yeah, that PS2 game doesn't look very good. I think I'll pass for now...

Well, ShineGreymon Burst Mode is in it, so I assume it takes place after the series in some unforeseen future.

I just saw the movie! It's not bad, but it's damn short and it's a one man Masaru show again. There's some cruddy animation here and there too.. However, the Rookie fights are pretty kick-ass compared to the series and Lalamon is actually useful.

Screengrabs! Taking pics with MKV videos is hard! Can't wait til an AVI version comes out so I can take more grabs.

I wasn't paying too much attention when I watched (I was distracted), so I am going to watch it again sometime.

Just like pretty much every other Digimon CD, this one is pretty good! There isn't a single song I don't like in it. Agumon's solo isn't as horrible sounding as Tai's Agumon, thank gawd, and it's cute! TEAM is quite upbeat! Enjoy!

Eh, I don't really care for the music that much, but I might check it out. The only song that I really like from all the eps that I've seen so far is Believer (which is like my favorite Digimon song ever), but I already have that though.

Foo! Digimon music rocks my socks. I have over 200 songs and only a few of them suck.

I don't think the ones I have listened to suck, I just don't like most of them enough to listen to them outside the show.

I rewatched the movie credits again and saw the blooper reel! It's funny and cute! Make sure you guys watch it!

Um, nothing else to talk about...for now...

Additional Spam:
Ah someone posted translations of the songs! Check them out here!

The lyrics for Beater!, Aah, Tamagoyaki and TEAM are hilarious!
"You and your friend eggs!" XD

Not that anyone cares, but DATS has released their Savers movie sub in AVI format. Get it here. Getting awesome speeds (over 260kB/s) so grab it while it's hot. Now I can make decent screengrabs.

Update: I finished DLing. Whee!

Digimon World Dusk/Dawn are set to come out Sept 18th, which is days way! Great stuff, wot?

Still getting Dawn, and I'm looking forward to battling the few of you who will be getting it! You better get it, Chaotic :D I know for a fact that Rocky and I will be getting it.

I saw some vids online and at the end of the game, the team from Digimon Savers (Including Ikuto this time. Whoo!) and Digimon NEXT appear to battle you! Awesome! I don't know if it's part of the game or optional. I was very surprised to see guys from Digimon NEXT in it.

Oh, and I found Digimon Savers wallpaper at the official American website at Toei Animation! Here it is. I've never been able to find any decent Digimon wallpaper before, so I'm quite happy to have found something good :3

I've been putting Savers eps on my PSP to watch during bus rides :D

Update: I checked out that website some more and apparently they're using Masaru and Yoshino in their character profiles.

I know, I know. But I probably won't be able to get it this month since I'm short on cash. <_<

I am looking forward to the game though. :><:

Can't wait.

Ah I getcha. If you're going back to school, then I understand. Rocky just spent tons on books alone. Ouch.

In the meantime, take a gander at the exclusive Digimon in each version for you to decide what you want:

Dawn:

Sunmon
Coronamon
Firamon
Flaremon
Apollomon
Kudamon
Leppamon
Qilinmon
Sleipmon
Gigimon
Guilmon
Growmon
Megidramon
Dukemon
Dukemon Crimson Mode
Chicomon
Imperialdramon Dragon Mode
Imperialdramon Fighter Mode
Imperialdramon Paladin Mode
Airdramon
Goddramon
ShineGreymon Burst Mode
DotAgumon
Dot ShineGreymon




Dusk:

Moonmon
Lunamon
Lekismon
Crescemon
Dianamon
Pandamon
BantyoLeomon
Beelzebumon Blast Mode
Tsumemon
Keramon
Chrysalimon
Argomon Perfect and Ultimate
Diablomon
ChaosDukemon
Armagemon
Piemon
Apocalymon
Kuramon
Khimeramon
Milleniumon
Moon Milleniumon
Zeed Milleniumon SkullGreymon
Tsuchidarumon
DotFalcomon
DotMirageGaogamon

I'm getting Dawn for the Guilmon line (especially Megidramon), Kudamon's line and Imperialdramon Dragon Mode (I've never seen this Digimon playable before!) I will need to match with the other version to get BanchouLeomon. I'm not much of a villain fan, so I don't want much exclusives in Dusk.

I'm definitely still getting this when it comes out (I believe it's the only game coming out in Sept. that I want, as the real wallet-rape doesn't begin until October), but I don't want to play it until I beat the first one, which means I need to hurry up and finish that one.

And I can't wait for the English version of Savers to come on. If the name changes alone aren't enough lol, some of the voice actors they have playing them are just...out there (Crispin Freeman playing Touma, wtf? Because I'm sure a guy known for playing darker, older characters will be good at playing a 14-year-old boy).

This game and Sims 2: Bon Voyage are the only two games (although one's just an expansion) I want in September, so I'm sure I'll be able to get it on launch. Can't wait.

Only YTV airs Digimon here, but I don't know if they'll air the dub. I don't think they are still airing the older seasons. I like how they managed to switch from Digital Accident Tactics Squad to DATa Squad to keep it as DATS. I guess they wanted to shorten it to make it easier for the kids to remember.

Ikuto's last name is apparently Crier (Ikuto Crier, XD), and I'm going to be thinking of a certain green dinosaur everytime they say Yoshino's new dub name :D The VA for Genis (Colleen O'Shaughnessey) from Tales of Symphonia is voicing her, so I'm not looking forward to that, I can tell you! Takato's VA is voicing Agumon, so who knows what he's going to sound like! It'd be so cool if he'd still use 'Aniki 'for the dub, but I very much doubt that. It'd probably change to 'Boss' or even 'Marcus.' That doesn't sound as cute.

Update: Apparently Wiki has been updated to include Ikuto's dub name. Keenan Crier! That's really different from the original name. I wonder how the last name's going to be pronounced. Is it going to be 'Cry-er' or 'Creer'?

Long needed update?

Finally got the game myself and I've indulged about 8 hours into it. Loving it so far, still hating that damn run-in rate. :|

Got Dawn. I'll get my friend code up sooner or later.

I don't really mind the run-in rate... in any case it's a hell of a lot easier to level up on Dawn than it is in Dusk anyway.

Then again Dusk has two exclusive areas while Dawn has one (in relation to where a majority of the version exclusive Digimon are found).

I went with Dawn because I wanted to have a female rival while playing as a female character. I'm not much of a evil type person either so the Dusk Digis didn't appeal to me :p

Just got Dawn today finally. Went in on the 19th and saw nothing. Went on the 20th and still nothing. Asked person at counter and was told it was coming in the next day. BAH! On top of that, stickers were supposed to be included in the game and I got nada. What a gyp! Somebody hates Canada :P

I never thought anyone but me, Rocky and Chaotic would be buying the game, so seeing your entry surprised me, Lacerta. That makes another person to battle with.

I got Coronamon, Kudamon and Biyomon in my party. Planning on ditching Biyomon.

My FC code is 1976 7985 0490.

At least the random-battle rate makes it faster to scan Digimon. The GFF Wiki page is up as well so add your FCs there!

Yay, so the Digimon Game ratio is 3:1 Dawn to Dusk. :|

So, what are your teams right now?

The levels and stats escape me, but:

Chronos (Gaogamon)
.//shine (DotShineGreymon)
Charcoal (Firamon)

Reserve
Shin (Veedramon)*

*I'm planning to degenerate him to make him an ExVeemon

I love how HP/MPs are completely restored if you stay in a dungeon for a while, so I get to spend more time in dungeons without having to go all the way back to town every time your team's running low on health.

I did pretty much nothing but grind at Limit Valley to get everyone to their champion forms, booya. Maybe I'll try getting to Bronze rank now.

My team:

Warsaw [Reppamon]
Lvl 23. HP 1028 MP 970

Aero [Veedramon]
Lvl 27. HP 603 MP 475

Raptor-1 [GeoGreymon]
Lvl 28. HP 623 MP 552

Reserve:

Corona [Firamon]
Lvl 34. HP 804 MP 664

Warfang [Garurumon]
Lvl 1. HP 428 MP 341

Gonna get a Kumamon now for GrappLeomon. Then I'll get a Pandamon from Rocky and voila! One BanchouLeomon. I never got one in the first game cause the XP needed for him was atrocious. Apparently it's the same in this game so hopefully I won't give up again this time :P

Update: I'm a Bronze tamer! Whoo!!!

I got 2 farms now: Savers and Tamers (homage obviously :P). I stuck my Kumamon in there. I randomly matched with someone to get Tsunomon. Gonna change Reppamon's name now that I have Warfang.

Oh wait...I now realize a Digimon gets full HP/MP back after levelling.

Anyway, team update.

Chronos (Gaogamon)
Level: 32
HP: 931
MP: 742

.//shine (DotShineGreymon)
Level 38
HP: 754
MP: 704

Charcoal (Firamon)
Level 37
HP: 839
MP: 696

They're the main team... Chronos is 1 level away from becoming a MachGaogamon... I just need about 300 more Machine EXP points to get him to Digivolve.

I can't wait. >.<

The Gaomon line has to be one of the best lines ever. They all look awesome.

The Sunken Tunnel is the best place (so far) for getting Machine XP. There's an area somewhere to the right side of the dungeon that has nothing but Machine Digimon (except for the not-occasional Betamon). That's how I got the XP needed for RiseGreymon.

My team's the same as before, give or take, except I'll be hatching a Guilmon soon. I just got RiseGreymon, and I'm very close now to get Flaremon and AeroVeedramon. I can't wait. He's one of my absolute favourite Digimon and I want him baaad. I'm grinding now for Holy XP to get ShineGreymon and Tylinmon.

Chaotic and I did a mock battle last night just to see how it went, and it was pretty cool, although it took a bit for the stupid connection to find us. We had a 2 out of 3 battle. I wiped out his Growlmon/Gaogamon/Firamon pretty quickly, but he came back with a vengeance in the next two matches and took the crown. Ah well. Maybe next time he won't be so lucky with my Ultimates.

We also did some matching 'cause there were some Digis I wanted. That went more smoothly.

Update: I got AeroVeedramon! Sweet! I changed his name to WindRaker. After Corona evolves, I'll have three Ultimates, just enough for a battle if anyone's interested :D

I just made it to Silver rank! The battle was quite tough. 2 of my Digimon bit it so luckily I had some in relief. Don't underestimate these guys 'cause they'll rape you. They're harder than the actual game.

Just don't try the Gold rank battle for a very long time. I wasted 6000 bits trying to do it. I couldn't even get one attack in other wise, AND they killed my .//shine. :tpg:
