So, someone got the game earlier and made a video of Tailmon's first two battles.
Here.
Apparently, the reason for Tailmon not becoming Holydramon is to not conflict with the Holydramon of the Four Great Dragons. Now I wonder why they didn't Ofanimon. Are the Archangles in this game too?
Also, Neemon is the announcer, so that sems to count as
Frontier representation. Could the secret character be someone from
Savers?
By the way, the glitches seem in the stream seem to be absent from the final version. The invisible Digimon seems to be a glitch of the "stunned blinking" or whatever it's called.
Of course the biggest insult is Bandai gating the possible translation of DeCode behind another bad Rumble Arena game. What's next, will we have to grind out an ultimate level digimon in Digimon Masters desolate wasteland of a world with nigh non existent game play and player choice (not that they players have much impact on that world anyway, or that that world can be impacted due to it's stagnant nature). Will we have to buy Xros Wars dvds and enter a secret code hidden somewhere deep in the dvds runtime.
You are exaggerating a bit.
I will not be blackmailed into buying inferior products just because a franchise has produced something I liked in the past, especially since that may convince the dense corporate heads that said inferior products may have been successful leading to more products with that bad design sense being produced.
Then prepare to never get
Digimon games in the West again, even if the new series is successful here. Marc has previously explained that signing a petition to get a game localized doesn't mean you are going to buy the game, so a million signatures don't mean a million sales. Therefore, they made a game to make sure bringing
Decode and
Cyber Sleuth, and any other future games, wouldn't be a waste of money. You should be grateful they are even doing something, when they have strictly said no to other stuff with a lot of requests, like
Idolm@ster (although I can't say I know much about the topic), and buy it. Don't think "they are blackmailing me", think "I have to make this franchise survive in the West".
Like, there was once a Chinese dinasty, I can't remember what dynasty it was, but during that dynasty, farmers were forced to give
everything they produced, and were forbidden of using
anything they produced for their our susteinance. But, they needed to survive somehow, so they started eating dogs, horses, insects, whatever was available. And that's how eating insects and dogs became part of Chinese culture.
In dark times you can't be very picky, you must survive with what you have. So, basically, the fate of
Digimon games in the West depends on the success of
All-Star Rumble, and that's all there is to it. This can't be as bad as many people are making it out to be. Who knows in the future an
All-Star Rumble 2 turns out to be better?
