Save Your Digimon’s Data In Digimon World Re:Digitize

Save Your Digimons Data In Digimon World Re:Digitize

The next Digimon World game, Digimon World Re:Digitize is set for release in the summer of 2012. A Jump magazine leak reports this and other bits of news on the game, relayed via Tale Tale Source.

 

In a previous trailer, we saw that Digimon die and are reborn, just like in the very first Digimon World. In Re:Digitize, you may have a choice: you can allow your Digimon to be reborn, or you can choose to save your Digimon’s data in a Digimemory (a reference to Season 6, Xros Wars). Tale Tale’s wording is vague, so we aren’t sure if you can do both.

 

It is also unclear whether this works like a storage system where you can pull out the Digimon you want, whenever you like, or if this is an item that you can use to power up your new Digimon with stats and previously learned attacks.

 

You can hold up to 5 Digimemories.

 

Update: Season 6 was Super Xros Wars, not Season 5. Whoops!

    Two things:

    1.) Xros Wars is Season 6. Savers was 5.

    2.) Holy crap, this is an amazing idea. Well DONE, Digimon Re: Digitize. You may be holding out on my Xros Wars Digimon, but you’ve got one of its underutilized but awesome concepts in there in an EXTREMELY awesome way.

    For those who haven’t watched Xros Wars, Digi-Memories basically summon “legendary Digimon of the past” to fight for you momentarily. If this is anything like that, I imagine we’ll be able to “summon” our old Digimon for brief attacks or something (whereas we’ll have a new one on the front lines) before they return to the Digi-Memory to be used again later.

       Poor Digimon Next, everyone forgot its existence and it was using the term Digimemories 4 years before Xros Wars even existed.

      • OverlordZetta

        I haven’t forgotten! I actually love it, and Tsurugi is one of my favorite Digimon characters to this day. I’m 100% sure, though, that the Digi-Memories that this article is referring to are the kind of Xros Wars given the context.

        Haha, was going to say that.

    • http://terracannon876.livejournal.com Laura

       Whoops, craptastic slip of the brain.  Thanks for catching it

  • konsama

    I seriously hope this game gets localized, i can’t believe i’d get so hyped by a digimon game since i used to when i was a kid xD

  • IvanAzure

    Sorry for going offtopic, but have you Siliconera guys seen this video with gameplay for Mugen Souls (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEY40QB4oRY)? I don’t remember seeing it here, so I’m putting it here just in case. ^_^

    On-topic: I’m really interested in this game and, like Zetta said, DigiMemories could be a really interesting concept working as “Summons”, if it goes like it was (under)utilized in Xros Wars. :3

  • Solomon_Kano

    I want it even more now D:

  • http://www.falgram.com/ Falmung

    This is an excellent idea. It might mean that we can use our previous Digimon for some time like for example we have to clear a boss battle or something. I don’t know how exactly this will work but I’m looking forward to finding out more about this.

    Coincidence I am now reading this with that alleged June Xros Wars movie in Japan that features all past protagonists playing in mind. But yeah, the DigiMemory thing in this game was quite a tease of a homage to Xros Wars.

    • Opn

      well all the protagonists have already appeared in xross wars the second series that is (well technichally we just saw their shadows minus tai and marcus we just flat out saw them and their digimon!)

      • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_Q6NXXGMO5XNSMJ64NIHYHFP56A Vince

        True, but recently.. Though not officially confirmed, someone have spread word that Xros Wars will finally have its movie come June.

        And what makes it extra special just in time for the franchise’s 15th anniversary would be previous protagonists from Taichi/Tai to Masaru/Marcus will also make their first time full appearance in said film.

        A number of those in Digimon fandom are presently awaiting confirmation and hopefully, the current issue of V-Jump will shed light upon this as well as the fate of the current Xros Wars Season. (Which was also rumored to end come March 25th.)

        If the buzzings about this film will indeed end up true or confirmed, probably that episode in Time Hunters could also serve as hint. As that old Clockguy also refer as “That Day”, the film itself.

        • OverlordZetta

          It’s also being heavily speculated Xros Wars is ENDING though, but neither has been confirmed.

          • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_Q6NXXGMO5XNSMJ64NIHYHFP56A Vince

            Edit: Unfortunately, seems this month’s V-Jump do not have info on that June movie. Though the previous Goggle Boys are bound for an anime appearance March 18th.

          • OverlordZetta

            Sounds like it might be a finale for all of Xros Wars.

  • JustThisOne

    Ah! So it’s kind of like Monster Rancher then, in that kind of aspect. Good good good. To be able to have up to five to experiment with fusion, huu huu huu… *__*

    • http://www.facebook.com/VirusChris Christopher Nunes

      Hmm… reminds me about the Monster Hearts in Monster Rancher 3 (I love the Monster Rancher series. ^_^ Wish they continued it…) where you add the Monster Heart to a new Monster to make them stronger and learn a few things.

      So does reborn-ing the Digimon NOT allowed to carry on its old stats like in DW1 or this is Digimemory allow MORE stat bonus than the rebirth in DW1? Also  do you select a different Digimon partner regardless of either options?

      I wonder.

  • Opn

    every time i see a article about this game a bit of my soul dies knowing that this will never be brought over ;__;. anyway very interesting concept and i agree it does sound like xross wars.

  • Spirit Macardi

    I just want to know how evolution works in this game. Is it the normal Digivolution where they go through different stages, is there an option to Armor Digivolve, or is it Super Evolution where the Digimon is given a spontaneous age-up? For that matter, what about combining? Can you DNA-Digivolve or Digi-Xros your creatures?

    … Wow, I know more about this series than I should.

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001313152678 Renaldi Saputra

      there would be no xros terms it seems, but Jogressing is still possible. Hopefully it can be like the Dawn/Dusk series..

  • Gatchaman1

    This is a rant. Why isnt this a PS3 game?  Why isnt the latest Shining, Suikoden, Phantasy Star, SMT, Valkyria Chronicles, Capcom RPG console games? Just Tales team, Level 5, Tri-Ace, From Software and FF. Big name developers are too scared this gen. Meanwhile NIS, Compile Heart, Gust are making console games and sequels that are being localized? So dont give me the bigger handheld userbase in Japan excuse. Vita & 3DS are off to crawling start (Vita more so).We know this game has little chance of coming to the U.S. The last Digimon game took 3 years to be localized to the DS. This is a rant.

    • Nitraion

      I agree

    • OverlordZetta

      The PSP is basically the PS2 again, except (most) people in the West never caught on. On the other hand, developers over there are very happy with their platform that everyone loves and still has. I expect the PSP (over there) to be booming at least through the end of the year, if not longer, before the switch to the Vita is complete. Hell, they’re still making DS games.

      In any case, I don’t think they’re scared. It’s simpler than that: They know where the money is, and they know what people want. People have wanted a good Digimon, people who want it have PSPs, and what’s more, people still are wary of the Vita because of the memory card thing.

      Speaking of… Vita, off to a crawling start? Have you not seen its launch lineup? That pretty much crushes the CURRENT 3DS lineup all on its own. Imagine how it’ll be in a year from now, even WITH games still coming out on the PSP.

      Anyway. Sure, it sucks that it’s on the PSP over the Vita, but not only does that not mean it’ll be a bad game, but guess what?

      It’s not the console’s fault – the console is a damn fine piece of machinery.

      It’s the consumer’s fault in the West for not seeing how good they had it, either pirating or just choosing not to go for it – now, when they miss things, you can’t go around and complain about it.

      And then, and perhaps more importantly, look at what company the Digimon games are attached to, and keep in mind how popular Digimon is over here – we never even got Xros Wars and we may very well not at all.

      Even if it was on the PS3, it would still have the same chances.

      tl;dr: Don’t hate on developers or the PSP.

      • sherimae1324

        that was a good explanation oni-chan ^_^

        good to know that there is still someone like you who
        uses proper thinking and logic when it comes to this

      • icecoffemix

        And the main thing is probably it’s cheap to develop on PSP, so there’s less risk involved when you put out crap games.

        • OverlordZetta

          True. Cheaper to make, they’re familiar with the software; it!s the safe, even smart, way to go for them.

        • Gatchaman1

          You do realize DIGIMON, SUIKODEN, PHANTASY STAR, SHINING series all have a bigger known following with history in the West than “Ar Tonilica” “Atelier series” “Hyperdimension Neptunia” and if “Mugen Souls” gets localized? I realize handhelds are where the money is in Japan, but thats just a small part of the pie, and these companies made good money back in the day globally on consoles. They are thinking small and they are scared meanwhile niche smaller companies are taking the bigger risk globally. It’s quite insane.

      • http://twitter.com/DanijoEX DanijoEX

        I think you explained it very well.

      • Gatchaman1

        I didnt say its the consoles fault I’m just saying these developers aren’t thinking globally at all; they know the PSP is meh in the West so chances are this game wont even be localized, but the consoles are booming globally and the PS3 is now back on the rise in Japan. Its time for them to step up because the smaller companies are willing to take the risks meanwhile they just look scared still and they are losing respect in the gaming industry overall.
        Now with the gap of quality games on consoles, we have this newfound xenophobic distaste for Japanese games in the west by a lot of western gamers, while Western made games have improved in quality and popularity to take their place and are making bank and these Japanese companies are just giving up and saying screw the West we’ll just take a smaller profit and make games for Japan only basically in an almost equal xenophobe manner. Meanwhile creativity and potential get stagnated so everyone loses. It sucks.

        And Digimon has always been fairly popular in the West. I dunno what a “Bakugan” is, but somehow that anime based rival game made its way to a PS3 and Wii over to the West just the same.

        • sherimae1324

          then why dont you just stick with your western made games oni-chan instead of complaining and ranting about the games made in the east that never comes in the west. 

          what if they really or intentionally do not want to localize those games youre so begging for? and they developed those games just for theyre country alone? want to play the game? then just IMPORT IT! and STUDY JAPANESE!

          Or you can go ask your western devs to make a game just like FF, SHINING, VALKYRIA CHRONICLES, DIGIMON and so on just for you westerners and we do not care ^_^

          • Gatchaman1

            Because Western made games disturb me mostly. Why do I have to learn Japanese for game series that previously had no problem being localized and did well in the West? That’s an easy reply to say but that doesn’t fix the problem for everyone involved including the developers who obviously cared for global distribution at one point. You saying they don’t like money?

          • sherimae1324

            dont talk about the money here oni-chan

            because if they really wanted it in the first place, every japanese game they made had also reach the western shores, you get it do you?

            and why dont like western made games? i for myself a filipina-japanese like the western made games too ie. elder scrolls, sims, fable, warcraft and etc. ^_^
            though i think im a bit too old for still playing video games…..

            oh well age doesnt matter!!! dont be sad my friend i cant teach you japanese if you want tee-hee ^_^

    • sherimae1324

      you really are a “handheld-bitter” oni chan ^_^

  • Strain42

    Everything I read about this game breaks my heart because I know the odds of localization are so slim. It really does look like an amazing game. I actually recently found Digimon World 1 in my closet and I just was flooded with all these great memories.

    I’m gonna go the only thing I can do and write an actual letter asking about the game. It’s a small gesture, but it’s one I’m willing to make because this game already feels special to me.

  • http://www.facebook.com/shawn.dickenson1 Shawn SomethingOtaku Dickenson

    this game is going to kill my psp playtime  more then Phantasy Star Portable 2

  • Rafael Freitas

    This game will have a nice exploration, a variety of strategies in battle and some customization? I haven’t seen much information about this game so far, and this are some characteristics that will made a good Digimon game.

    Hoping for an English version

  • http://www.facebook.com/djalmalves Djalma Alves

    OMG i cant wait! Summer 2012!
    Hope for an english version or at least an english patch.
    The game looks sick, and saving your Digimon’s data in a Digimemory is amazing!

    SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!! I’M ENOUGH OF THIS.. I GONNA BUY IT FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GROARRR….

    • Kai2591

      • Some1onearth

        Yesh, what I’m hoping for is that this becomes available on Vita as well.
