I wonder if this is the first game to feature 魔晶?

No, the first game to use it was Devil Summoner.

I believe the pronunciation is mashou, meaning "devil crystal".

You need Class 2 in the "融合" skill to make special items like that.

Since I got to play a little last night,I wanted to see the christmas Jack Frost:

Also liked how they decorated the trees:

Did they add any decorations in Shinjuku?

Yep, there are Christmas trees near the fountain and the large ALTO Vision TV displays a "Merry X'Mas" animation.

Still not working, is it 100% vital to have japanese languages installed on my comp?

Yes, your character name must be in full-width alphanumeric or Japanese.

Uriel and Surt are reserved for the large game update we'll be recieving on 12/20. Uriel obviously belongs to Daitenshi (with Gabriel, Michael, and Raphael), Surt belongs to Maoh (with Abbadon I believe), and I can't remember who's listed as Majin, most likely Loki.

The 12/3 UP! notice was just the details about the ability to fuse three devils. Included is a video and a few of the new devils we'll be getting on 12/20. The other parts of the site will be unveiled on 12/10 and 12/17 with new information about the huge 12/20 update.

Sorry for the double post, here are the two other devils that were added last week:

Catoblepas


Sati


And for those of you logged in at least once for a total of ten days from 11/22 until 12/6, you'll receive a ticket Monday that you can trade in for an immature version of one of five new devils or a Unicorn.

The five new devils are:

• Loki
  
• Take-Mikazuchi
• Kai-chi
• Mithra (one on the left)
  
• Parvati (one on the right)
  

Yes, but what good is it, if you know neither?

For race translations:
Megaten Wiki

Easiest way is to just copy the kanji and do a search on the IMAGINE wiki. If you use Firefox, another way would be to use the Rikaichan plugin and highlight the race names and read the hiragana reading.

The races in IMAGINE are the exact same ones from previous games, so most of the devils are already categorized on the Megaten Wiki which should make things easier.

The Japanese wiki has them sorted by alignment and race.

You can right click a player's devil and pick the "Analyze" function to view it's stats and skills. I believe it also displays the race they belong to.

Yeah, I found this two months ago from randomly looking around the AtlusNet site. It's a pretty simple game, you're limited to 30 or so actions a day however. I managed to get to level 23 or so in a few days, but most players seem to be level 200+.

Catoblepas is in the Youjou/Wilder race along with Garm and Fenrir.

Here are two of the new devils they added last week:

Okuninushi


Tanki


The other two are Sati and Catoblepas. You can find wild Tanki and Catoblepas in Suginami Gold.
