Nope, not really. He and Roald are about equal if you get either one of them. I think the only main concern is to finish the linkage list.

I still have horror stories from watching the previous movie, Spirits Within.

Geez, I was SO excited when that movie came out. T_T; Only to find out it sucked SO bad. ;o;

Again, no problem you guys.

I agree, looks like I just have to pick the first answer for everything without worrying.^^;

The official site has been updated with new characters(as shown in the topic) as well as new screenshots. Kaneko's designs look more uh, happier(I'm not sure that's the right word, haha)? Tae looks a lot like Sera in the screenshots so I'm guessing they might've used the same render for her. I'm loving the world's designs though.

Also check out Raidou's profile for a new piece of art. Ages are listed as well. Narumi being the oldest.

EDIT1: Instead of half-assing this whole thing. I'll 'try' and get my sister-in-law to translate their profiles(I need a printer though...) when I see her next time. I'm not making any promises though so it'd be nice to have someone translate them. D:

The gist of information I can get:
Narumi - he's Raidou's superior and it's mostly pushing him to do work. He seems to have some connection with the military and government.

Asakura Tae - I'm not sure if Kichou is her nickname or the term of 'returning to Japan'. But she's a journalist/reporter. She's unlike most journalist in the Taisho Era and sounds pretty dedicated to her jobs to get the information she needs. (*cough* Maya Amano anyone?)

EDIT2: Hmm, let's see. Tae also goes by 'Tae-chan'. Her name is in Katakana so it must mean she could either be a foreigner(despite her last name) like Japanese-American or even Japanese-Korean. Tae is a Korean name...but this is just my assumption. I think 'Tae-chan' may also be her pen name...Narumi calls her that in one of the screens.

I assumed this meant Kichou: 葵鳥 as the first kanji is 'ki' but the second is making me mad. It's meant for alot of things...san is added at the end of the name so eh, it could be her real one. I'm confused. =P I've had enough of Japanese for tonight...

Basically current game you're playing/movie you're watching/music you're listening to. I see a lot of threads like this and figured I'd smash it all together instead of making individual threads. =P

Papa Roach - "Scars" <- I used to hate this song but now I really like it. *shrugs*

1UP/RPGamer/RPGFan/etc. have all reported that the North American release will not be on the 13th and has been moved back. (I hear about November?)

Why does this scare me?
The internet being yet again full of rabid hardcore FFVII fans complaining about this. D:

No problem and I added/edited the option of having Heat joining your party. Check the letters b and e.

I remember RPGamer announced 'Persona 3'(which made me laugh) but it was actually 'Shin Megami Tensei 3' so I'm wondering if this is just another assumption from gaming sites.

Ah, thanks Tony! I'll have to try that one out then if I can find a copy here. I actually haven't seen a used one out in town. D: It's pretty cheap on eBay so I might just get it there.

The Katamari reminds me of of Willy Wonka's 'Everlasting Gobstopper' that was shown in the movie. ^^;

[Loopa -> Gale's "Pyriphlegeton"]

I posted this at the other Megaten board so I thought it'd be useful here to other who'll soon play the second game.

1. Loopa -> Gale's "Pyriphlegeton" - Load a clear data save of DDS1
2. Jinana -> Argilla's "Seraphic Roar" - 3rd choice event, after Gale is discussing the plans about joining forces with Merrybell. Pick the FIRST choice and you should get a response from Heat.
3. Jenna -> Seraph's "Rebirth Cycle of the 3 Realms" - (DDS2) There are 5 choice events in this game. During the 2nd choice event, at the Karma Association, choose the second answer.
4. Heat to join you - ok, this one depends on answers from both games.
 a. (DDS1) 4th choice event, at Coordinate 136. Pick the first answer so Serph doesn't fight back with Heat. The battle should end with Serph being at a weaken condition.
 b. (DDS1) 8th/last choice event, after you defeat Varon. Pick the first answer, you should get a response from Argilla instead of Heat.
 c. (DDS2) 3rd choice event, at the EGG factory when Heat 'stabs' Serph in the stomach, choose the second answer. <- Apparently the Japanese FAQ has a mix up. Pick the FIRST answer!
 d. (DDS2) 4th choice event, returning the the EGG factory and after you defeat Vitra, choose the first answer.
 e. (DDS2) I'm just adding this one to be safe and reading the Japanese FAQ. Alright at the last choice event, which would be the fifth. Choose the second choice.

---------------------------------------

1. Underground City after you finish the Meat factory
I'm sure you talk to the little girl(can't remember) as she's the only one who askes you questions.

She'll ask you the whereabouts of Timmy. Pick the first answer about "Timmy not returning". You'll get another question and you have to answer with that he was "Killed and eaten..."

The Japanese FAQ says you'll get medical gear after but doesn't list what it's called.

2. Underground City, Dyaus shooting game
Talk to the other little girl in the corner(bottom right). She'll let you play the video game. There's 3 stages and you get a special item after you beat them all.

3. Karma Association
When it's time to go to the Karma Association, talk to one of the male city members there(he's the one closest to the Association entrance) and he'll talk about naming his son.

If you choose:
a. Serph's name -> Pink sapphire = Any stats +4
b. Heat's name -> Tiger's eye stone = Strength +3
c. Gale's name -> Crimson water crystal = Magic +3
d. Cielo's name -> Bloody ruby = Agility +3
These item names might differ from the US version but the names are in that order...

(Did anyone catch this? If you have the English version, look on page 24. The stat order is messed up. (Bad Atlus USA, bad!) Or maybe they changed it from the Japanese version but I highy doubt that. D:

Remember, the stats are always:
Strength
Vitality
Magic
Agility
Luck)

4. Sala Park/Black George question
Load a DDS clear game save data where you picked the first answer to Black George's question. In Sala Park, talk to one of the female city members and she'll introduce herself as Amelia. She'll give you the "Lotus Flower's Petal". (Kouli's FAQ states that in the end, you'll get a Soma. Maybe a trade in for the flower?) Note: I think Black George was changed to James Mason(?) in the English version...

Also, Akineko, a "famous" japanese doujin band just made a new remix, and it's the boss battle theme from devil summoner. Enjoy, I always loved Akineko's music : http://akihito.milkcafe.to/

Wow, thanks for the link, Rotkappchen!:)

Welcome to those who have just joined!:) Hope you enjoy your stay and post lots~

I've only showed this on one other board which is private so I'd appreciate it if you don't post these at other forums/sites/etc. The quality is very poor because I don't have a scanner and had to use my camera.

My translations are pretty bad but I tried my best and had to look in dictionaries many times to know if I was getting things down right(though the Furigana helps me out with the Kanji =P). You won't really understand these unless you've played the game...There 4-komas anyway which means they make no sense to begin with. D:

If anyone has the books and wants to correct them, feel free to.

Digital Devil Saga 2(cover).

Portrait Rights Infrigements - Argilla doesn't like Sheffield's opinion.

What to be called - Seraph and Jenna are confused what to call each other because of their gender...(Please replace the name 'Jenna' with 'Angel'. *messed up*)  I actually forget to add in the original title. D:

Curtain - Jenna figures out Margot's atma...

No title - I don't think this one had a title but Serph and the rest of the Embryon rush to Sera's aid only to find Cielo...

Healing - Schroedinger is soft and comfy...(I actually, did not get this one.)

Side title - just a cute title/picture page.

Here are some SMT3 ones, I didn't think of putting them in the SMT forum since I only have a few.
Change? - Naga's transformation?! (I was confused about the wording of '1 trillionth transformation' but Shun/Manderina suggested 'final transformation' so I'm going with that.)

Outside of a man - Chiaki thinks outside appearances change everything.

Reality - *favorite* Isamu NEEDS to figure out what a reality is...

I have a bunch of books like these(as well as comic anthologies) but I don't know if I'll be able to translate anymore. I'd like to, they're pretty funny and I sure people enjoy them.

Eh? Are you sure there's going to be a remake of the game? I heard that they only released a tech demo of the opening and that they weren't planning on remaking the game.

If so, I think rather than going back remaking a game that we have already played before(though the graphics will be better) and already know the whole story that they should just get right on task of making a newer FF game.

I see no point in a remake. x_x;

You guys should have known a topic like this would be coming. The movie is scheduled to hit stores here on the 14th and the 13th for N.America(basically the *same* day). There's also a limited edition pack coming out as well as the soundtracks. Has anyone pre-ordered these yet? *hasn't*

Heck, is anyone actually going to see the movie? D: I plan on waiting a few months after it's release(but knowing my brother, he's going to get it the day of the release). It sure does look nice but I don't think I'm about to waste my money on it...especially when people will be throwing up downloads for this on the net.
