No region restriction on Digimon tournaments in Hacker’s Memory, user titles mistranslated

With the international launch of Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Hacker’s Memory on PlayStation 4 and Vita over January 19th, the English-speaking world has been brought into the fold of the ongoing Adult Digimon tournament that began in Japan earlier this month.

The revelation comes as a surprise to some, as the most recent tournament has been themed around Japanese New Year’s. In light of the culturally-specific Kagami Mochi accessories being the primary multiplayer reward, and the event itself already being several days in-progress, up to now it was not unthinkable that English-speaking territories would have their own separate track of events.

This news may be for the best; while a handful of player titles and accessories remain Japan-exclusive for the time being due to the earlier launch of Hacker’s Memory in Asia, in the long term all of these will become available to all players regardless of their language or country of origin. A list of the current Japan exclusives can be found beneath the cut.
