[Guest]

If I can ever find a way to actually rip this disc *headdesk* maybe I'll try making my first torrent ^^;
The weekend is coming, maybe I can get more accomplished after I get this wrapped up :p

lol, ok, it's a but late now, I'll try to get the video portions up somewhere other than veoh soon ^^;
And frigging hell, does anyone know of a dvd iso ripper/extractor/thing that works on "real" dvds? I swear, I have 2 programs with a 3oomb limit, the others wouldn't go for it because of copy-protected bs or something XD
It's a conspiracy! This is injustice! I don't know why this has to be so difficult for me, but it is ;>>

Okay, I've finished adding the extra info for all the small pieces of documentary left and the trailer/synopsis things [ugh, the random bits of Kaneko interview should've been in the "making of" chapter, would've been easier to deal with XD] So if you take a look on my profile, it should be appearing as I type. Now, to rip and upload...I don't think I know any places that can host gigantic [4+GB] files, I might have to rar and spilt [blah, complications for something so easy...no wonder people don't bother doing this sort of thing XD] sorry Emilio! ^^; If you want to host some or all of the DVD on your blog or something, let me know and I'll try uploading the pieces too, they're smaller than the DVD, but not as complete.

Ohshit, I didn't know veoh discriminates against foreign IPs too -_- well, guess there's the catch; would anyone know other upload alternatives? ^^;
And yea, on my BB pearl browser, before anything was changed, there was no indicator for new topics [unless it was an image; I have those disabled by default ^^;]
Crap, one more problem to solve -_- I have a couple random chapters uploaded on veoh, just need to add the detail data before it finalizes that.
Then I'll try ripping the actual disc and see if I can find somewhere to upload that too

Oh! The subforum text now shows as a different colour for new replys.
I think that's the only new change I notice tho ^^;
As for veoh, when using their external uploader, there's no time or size limit for what you put up. No watch limits either that I know of [megavideo has that, its so annoying]. Or wait, I think you might get time limits for really long uploads [like full length movies] but I haven't encountered that limit lately, not sure if it's because of being logged in there or not.
I haven't checked out the main website yet, only because I have the forum bookmarked ^^;

[HERE]

It's such a habit from other furms I go to ^^; ANYways, more importantly, the main documentary parts are fully uploaded on Veoh. Check it out HERE. So far the 2 documentary part [history and making of nocturne] and some random other chapter [looks like a discussion/interview about nocturne with...some people. lol]. Should show up online to watch very soon if it isn't already ^^;
Working through ripping the small trailer/synopsis things still, might not get those viewable until later tomorrow ^^;
Enjoy! :3

[Yea, the mobile version is very basic, no pics, but good if you just need to pop in and see if anything new's happened ^^;]

*edit* yea, the "N/A" appeared there on my topic titles in phone mode; it only gives me one text box to type stuff, so I dunno how that got there since I didn't type it in o.O

And another small update: got the main documentary parts ripped [history, making of, and a small other chapter I don't remember seeing o.O] and uploading to my veoh [they're JP, no subs]. I'll try to get more screenshots of the static/non-movie parts and the short trailer-ish profiles ripped later today, but no promises [my laptop likes to crash/overheat a lot -_-]
PS, sorry for the double-post, can't edit on phone mode ^^;

I admit I got lost in the first hour of this game on the PSX because the 1st-person view made me dizzy ^^; I don't even have a PSP, but I think I want to pick this up anyways [incase I ever find the urge to buy a PSP for reasons other than just Persona ^^;]
And as for your English announcement Emilio, I think it sounds a bit better like this:

In the most recent "Atlus Faithful" email, Atlus has announced that the upcoming re-make of Persona for the PSP will be released on September 22nd, 2009, and will come packed with a complete 2-disc original soundtrack of the game's music in it's entirety; not like the A side / B side marketing gimmick Persona 4 had.

So mark your calendars, save some pocket-change, and be sure to pre-order your copy when it becomes available. Don't miss this awesome Atlus Spoils re-translated edition of Persona for the PSP PLUS the full OST together in one exclusive package.

Sorry, hope I don't seem like a grammar nazi for butchering your post, I tried to make it "flow" a bit better, but if you don't want to change it, that's ok too ^^; [but who am I kidding, English is a pretty crazy language anyways :p] I'm a bit unsure if the complete 2-disc original soundtrack of the game's music in it's entirety part sounds a bit redundant or not, but I was trying to stress the completeness of said OST ^^;
And did you translate the English text blurb inside the Atlus Faithful e-mail for your Spanish edition news? [I see English in both versions, but my Spanish isn't too sharp either, so it might be there already XD]

Actually I took a look at the disc contents and the chapters are divided weirdly; I need to finish reading up on the program I'm using [last week was really hecktic, and me and my family went out for most of the day saturday ^^;] not avoiding it on purpose tho :p I guess some of the interactive/static image stuff isn't rippable either o.O
[wow, this forum is phone-friendly XD]

*edit* Phew, its nice to be back on an actual computer XD

DVD movie ripping is happening as I type, though I think it'll be bits and pieces unless I can figure out how to merge all the chapter AVIs ^^; Here's hoping I've got the quality to dimensions ratio down; I kept getting the extremes [ugly JPEG-ish fuzzyness or 20+MB per minute of movie o.O] so here's hoping it's a tolerable medium [and that my laptop doesn't melt/crash ;>>]

Ah, I'm daft, a DVD ISO/Image/thing might work even better... Although that would also require another program to find and figure out how to use XD [that's the problem of specialized programs; I swear I have a zillion codecs as well o.O]
Some people are dumb like me and would rather watch it straight up too you know? [And it probably will be kind of huge; about 4.12GB of huge x.x] I guess I'll try for both and hope I have enough HD space by the end of this ^^;

As for mod duties, I guess I could take charge in the "MT Uncensored" area, since that's where I'm most active anyways ^^; I admit I've never really paid much attention to the Karma system, I've seen it on other forums but never really cared about it, lol. I can't really say I've contributed much here other than my extreme Devil Children dorky-ness :p [that reminds me, I have more cards to scan too XD]

Honestly I only save the few that are of interest to me and/or I need for future refs to hunt down for myself ^^; I could take better quality pics/scans of the stuff I do own personally [I'm a bit of a junkie for merchandise really XD cards, figures, books, games...] I've been considering making my own makeshift hoard-of-stuff website just to throw pictures/movies and other stuff/files to keep it all in one place, but I do have some big files that probably won't fit using those beginner website/webspace things ^^; If I knew how to/what you were talking about I guess I could try it o.O;

And so I don't go totally off-topic:

My Raiho plush [with Kirara ^^;]

Hey everyone, this thread is back for another go! *crickets chirp* Okay, so maybe there isn't so much going on around here as there used to be, so I'm going to try to liven it up with some pics of super-special-awesome merchandise that, for the most part, you could probably only find in Japan. Click links to get to the source [which usually has more pictures :p]


SMTIII: Nocturne TCG Boxed Set
Comes with a starter deck and, in this case, a figure of Chiaki. There are two other sets that come with either Hitoshura or Isamu as well.



SMTII: TRPG Book
You know, if this didn't say SMT on the front I wouldn't have believed it had anything to do with it XD I guess this is for those D&D players who need a change of pace :p



SMTIII: Nocturne TRPG Book
Ooh, one for Nocturne too. Yea, seems like there's a ton of different TRPG books around the auctions; guess the economy means more people are going back to RP basics :p [Another auction of 3 HERE.]



SMT: Devil Children - White Book [GBC]
The third of the 3 Devil Children games for the GB/GBC; the others being Red Book and Black Book. The main character's partner demon is a chimaera [I haven't actually taken a try at this game yet ^^;]



Devichil Promotional Flyer
Wow, I think this is an actual flyer that was made to promote the release of the Devil Children series in other countries [since this company, TMS, has the rights to the first half of the first season]. Too bad it never went through; I'd have watched it back in those pokemon/digimon/monster rancher days [who am I kidding though, I'd still consider watching it nowadays too XD]



SMT: Grimore Chaos Museum
...This doesn't look like a game guidebook, but I have no idea what it actually is o.O



Sudama Plush/Pillow
Apparently this is a not for sale but it's an official piece of merchandise? Sudamas are boring though XD



SMT: Collectible Book[?]
Because Google translate fails, I'm not too sure what this book is all about; it seems too thick to be one of those fan-made doujinshi books, and it's also not noted as an "anthology" of any kind [short story/4-koma]. It could be a beginner's guide to the fairy clan, who knows :p



Jack Frost's Character Song
Yes, apparently Jack Frost can sing o.O This is the Jack Frost from the first Devil Children anime series, so I guess a character song as a ways of merchandising was inevitable; Mirai, Setsuna, Kuul the Cerberus, Viel the Gryphon, and Fenrir & Abbadon [Lucifer's lackeys] also have songs. Yes, you should be afraid XD [The intro themes are pretty catchy though ^^;]



Digital Devil Story series TCG
Looks like these are more than collectibles like one of the other sets I've seen; I summon Lucifer in attack mode! :p [Nope, I have no idea how to play XD]



Digital Devil Story Chronicle
Yea, these are the not-playable cards I mentioned; you just collect them for the pretty arts [wait, that's pretty much what I do with all the TCG/CCG cards I own ^^;]



SMT: NINE - Deluxe Pack [XBOX]
Box is open but everything's there and sealed. Staring bid's 1,000Y [About $10] XD



SMTIII: Nocturne Special DVD
Hey, this is different from the one I have, wonder what's on it?



SMT Devil Encyclopedia & Nocturne Maniax Perfect Guide
I still want that encyclopedia ;>> And I refuse to pay $60 used when it was sold 2,600Y new not that long ago. [it's a huge book, like 500+ pages! With lots of pictures, lol]



Various SMTIII: Nocturne Doujinshi
I love these XD I actually own most of the ones pictured [I think there's just one I don't have ^^;] They are either compilations of short stories by various artists or a bunch of 4-komas [basically 1-liner comic strips] done by various artists. The 4-koma ones are usually pretty slapstick-based or game-based humor, so not much Japanese knowledge is usually needed to enjoy them :p The short stories aren't usually as entertaining, but the art is higher quality.



SMT If.. School Bag
It features the same school uniform/logo as the one used in the game. Looks sturdy enough to be useful even for the non-cosplayers.



Speaking of cosplayers...a Narumi outfit! [You could probably get away with wearing that as a normal suit though too I think :p]


SMTIII: Nocturne PS2 Memory Card
Damn, I want this too! XD It's just a regular 8MB memory card, and it comes with a case.

If you plan on searching around yourselves, here's a few Japanese phrases you can use:
Shin Megami Tensei = 真・女神転生
Digital Devil Saga Avatar Tuner: アバタール・チューナー
Devil Children: デビルチルドレン

As always, enjoy! :3

What's really going on here with all the 3D Persona 2 and Devil Summoner characters? Is this not about SMTIII?

Ah, they were going on about the transition from 2D to 3D I think [well, SMTIII was the first SMT game in actual full 3D I believe, I'm guessing those other characters were practice tests, or maybe a potential crossover that failed ^^; Yay for knowing 0 Japanese XD]

Also, just added scans of the DVD cover, insert, and disc to the image page too [nothing exciting, but yea XD]

If you think you can be much of a fixture around here, let us know if you'd like to help with moderation. You don't technically have to do anything really, but it would look better at least if Emilio didn't have to bear the brunt of it all (truthfully there's nothing much to moderate -- but a larger onboard "staff" presence might make others feel more comfortable pitching in )

o.O Well I dunno if if would make any difference if I was or not anyways then XD Sure, I guess I could pitch in as a part-time mod if only so Emilio isn't tethered to the forums 24/7 :p

As for the documentary, click the pic below to go to a few screenshots I took [and had to convert from bmp because they were stupidly huge ;>>]

[I hope I'm not the only one who thinks this would make a good wallpaper if it was bigger ^^;]

Now I need to go and figure out how to use that DVD ripping thing all over again -_-

[HERE]

Not sure if this was news-worthy or not, so I'm posting it here ^^; [I figure I'd break the news page if I tried anyways XD] To those that don't know, Last Bible 2 is the sequel to Revelations: The Demon Slayer that was officially released in English by Atlus.
The info/main site/patch download are all HERE. Enjoy :3

[EDIT:]

EDIT: The DVD has been ripped and is currently being seeded. The torrent is attached to this post. Alternatively, you can view the different segments on either Veoh or Viddler.
A few screenshots from the documentary and scans of the cover/insert/disc can also be found HERE.
Enjoy! :3

Guess who's back? :p [I thought the forums here died for some reason o.O]
Anyways, I picked up a shiny new copy of the SMTIII documentary that was released waaay back around the time the first [non-maniax edition] was released. Although I don't understand much, it's divided into 2 main parts: SMT history, and the making/behind the scenes/commentary about Nocturne. Extra features include short trailer-like movies describing the main SMT series past, CG to 3D demons [with a few animations], and a personality test/thing to see what your alignment is.
Now, only the first half of the documentary [history part] has Japanese subtitles, the other half has 2 Japanese audio tracks [I'm guessing the one I wasn't using was surround sound]. No English subs obviously.
Now most of this stuff I figure is pretty dated by now, but there is some neat stuff too [if only my PSCS3 would stop crashing after opening 5 pics at a time so I can convert the screenshots I have to anything but BMP ;>> I'd have posted them here now.]
The Alpha version of the game, SMT: Kerberos [a tech demo thing I think], and the alternate places/opening featuring Lilith [SMTIII: Vortex] were noteable as they were most of the parts that weren't interview scenes ^^;
Now, if I can figure out how to rip this all up, would it even be worthwhile? [it's bigger than those Devil Children eps I ripped earlier I'm sure o.O] It is kinda old news and it's mostly talking with Kaneko, Cozy, and the rest of the dev. team. Sooo yea, some opinions would be great. Or at least chat until I can eventually get these screens up here ^^;
