Card Game Online System Announcement & Preview plus Booster Set 9 X Record Packaging Preview from Large Tamer Exchange Party Online Winter 2021

[MarcFBR]

The Large Tamer Exchange Party Online Winter 2021 was earlier, and they streamed an 'opening ceremonies' event featuring various memebrs of the Card Game and Card Battle team.

The opening was fun, and about what you would expect.

Some contest/giveaway type things were also announced during it for those in Japan.




The closing ceremonies was a bit more interesting though...

First up, we got to see some art for the upcoming Booster Set 9, our first art previews of the set in fact...

​

We got a look at the packaging of Booster Set 9 X Record, featuring Alphamon on the packaging, which isn't a huge surprise. We also get a look at the logo for the set.

The set, out on February 25th, will have X-Antibody as the main theme. We also get a preview of some more Alphamon artwork (which may hold a surprise based on how you look at it.)


And then after that...

​

They announced an online system for the Digimon Card Game. There have been hints in the past that this was coming, but this is the first formal announcement.

They showed off various footage of the system (it appears to be unnamed at the moment, just being called 'Online System'.)

The system will allow online play of the Digimon Card Game, with voice chat. It's first usage will be in the upcoming Japan-US vs event.

Worldwide play is part of the reason it was designed. It appears at first they plan to use it for events, as mentioned, but will look at expanding it outwards a bit after Spring 2022, as a way for new users to try out the card game, for promotional usage, etc.


At least for now it appears the plan is to take it slow, but we will see. Exciting for fans of the card game that it's being put together, and hopefully expansion happens fast, as it'd be an easy way to get more people playing. (Various details above may be slightly off based on translation.)

I really hope that they give us Raptordramon and Grademon cards, I'm tired of seeing Alphamon Original Line being ignored so many times

 

[YongYoKyo]

As expected, it's an X-Antibody-themed set. Here's hoping that they include the recent ones from the X V-Pets.

 

[Geode]

Yeah, bring on the X-Antibody.

I can’t wait to see what X Digimon well appear as I’m hoping for the Digimon like Angemon and Flamedramon that were on the voting polls didn’t get X-Antibodies.

 

[Renegade_Productions]

If these guys are smart, they'll follow the examples that YGOPro and Legacy of the Duelist set for that Digimon CCG game.

 

[Momentai]

Yes! Honestly the online system excites me more than the new booster set. It's what I've been waiting for since the game came out

 

[Bancho]

If these guys are smart, they'll follow the examples that YGOPro and Legacy of the Duelist set for that Digimon CCG game.

what did those card games do that Digimon should learn from?

Both are for Yu-Gi-Oh, but in general:

- YGOPro 1 and 2 have all the cards that exist for YGO unlocked from the get-go, so no grubby MTX schemes that Konami liked to pull with older YGO games. It also had a selection of bots you could duel, multiple rulesets you could use, different banlists in case you wanted to use some banned cards, duel puzzles, etc.

- Legacy starts you with a basic deck and also gives you unique decks based around the storylines and major events from the six anime. You can't input your own cards by way of their IDs like you could in, say, the Tag Force or Power Of games, but none of the cards were unlocked by real money either. Just in-game boosters bought with in-game credits.

From the looks of it, the CCG software will function more like Pro, which is fair. There's no storyline based on these cards, and there shouldn't be one just for this one game.

 

[Sparrow Hawk]

Hell yeah. MetalGarurumon X and certain ones here I come! Obviously I will fear there'll be more new artists incoming...

 

[Ragnalord]

Grandracmon please, also I am 100% certain this will have dexmon and Alphamon Ouryuken.

 

[Bancho]

YGOPro 1 and 2 have all the cards that exist for YGO unlocked from the get-go, so no grubby MTX schemes that Konami liked to pull with older YGO games

so I can jump in and immediately make any deck that exists, I don't need to open digital booster packs?

Yep. Every single card, no booster opening required. (Look for Dawn of a New Era if you're interested. That's the newest version of this software.)

 

[Tarama]

Let's keep in mind that we might not get full booster of X Antibody digimons just like previous one theme focused boosters.

Ygopro is fan made and Konami get it delisted pretty often that's why it's ygopro not yugioh pro

Grandracmon please, also I am 100% certain this will have dexmon and Alphamon Ouryuken.

Grandracmon isn't stated to be an x Digimon in the DRB so unless that's a mistake he is no longer considered to be an x Digimon (same for his entire line). By that I mean it used to be an x Digimon and Bandai decided it's not any more (unless the DRB thing is an error)

And hence why the downloads are restricted to Discord now, but it still exists and that's what matters most.

as far as I can tell, all the people in the process of making Digimon Card Game cards (both Japanese and English) and the fanbase are on very healthy terms so I would rather not wish for anything that could damage that relationship like the situation with Ygopro. If DCG wants to make a legal application a lot like Ygopro, sure, but I'd rather support whatever we get with the digital version of the card game and naturally grow the experience with customer feedback from there

So long as they don't repeat the mistakes Konami made for the longest time, they'll be fine. If anything, scalpers will do more damage to the game than something like YGOPro would.

Finally, I'll be able to play the game despite how bad the pandemic still is here. Collecting's been fun, but dang if I don't want to actually PLAY it
