[Guest]

I can no longer access my website-end account as the email associated with it no longer exists. Whoops.

Otherwise, I'm still alive and have been archiving and posting some megaten merch I own over at ShinMegamiTuesday on twitter. I'm a little stuck right now as apparently new MEGA accounts only have 15GB not 50GB of storage and I've already filled it up.

With the Nocturne HD Remaster there's been a small surge in new SMT merch but it's largely old Kaneko art repurposed and/or recoloured (still not sure who thought the piss filter on the games cover art was a good idea).

Still holding out for Raja Naga to get added to Dx2 lol. And hey, SMTV isn't a lost legend anymore :v

[NOT]

Okay, so I've gathered:

-Persona 2 Innocent Sin to be released in Japan for PSP: http://p2is.atlusnet.jp/
-Devil Survivor Overclock[ed] Japan and North American releases confirmed for the 3DS: http://dsoc.atlusnet.jp/ | http://www.atlus.com/devilsurvivor3ds/
-Devil Survivor 2 coming out in Japan this summer for the DS: http://ds2.atlusnet.jp/
-Catherine is Atlus' first "next-gen" console game but it is NOT related to the Shin Megami Tensei series
-More SMT and Persona merchandise! [as noted below]
-Devil Summoner Raidou manga being scanlated by a user on livejournal; need to ask for permission to cross-post/host here [Emilio was also reposting pages in Spanish on his blog as well]
-Atlus "D" Shop has reopened with even more exclusive merchandise: http://atlus-d-shop.com/
*edit* More new news!
-Persona 4 is slated to get an anime series: http://www.p4a.jp/

Both FuRyu and MegaHouse are back again this year with new sets of Shin Megami Tensei and Persona merchandise!

FuRyu has its next figure candidates for set 2 of it's "Real Figure" [リアルフィギュア] series: Lucifer [ルシファー] and Kerberos/Cerberus [ケルベロス]. Lucifer is about 20cm [8"] tall, and Kerberos is 19cm [7.5"] long. Release date for these are July 25, 2011. They retail for 1,200 Yen each or 2,400 Yen for the full set.





Otacute is taking pre-orders for both: Lucifer | Kerberos

Hobby Link Japan has listings up but not taking pre-orders yet: Lucifer | Kerberos

amiami has their full set bundle pre-order sold out, but Kerberos alone is still available [no listing for Lucifer alone]
Full Set [sold out] | Kerberos

There are no official English news articles on this release, but more images and information in Japanese are here:
Gigazine.net | AtlusCh Blog


Game Characters Collection Mini Part II continues the figure series by MegaHouse, featuring these Persona 3 & Persona 4 characters: P3P female protagonist, Aegis (kimono), Mitsuru Kirijo, Akihiko Sanada, Yosuke Hanamura, Kuma/Teddy, Chie Satonaka, Nanako Doujima and one secret character. In the same style as the first series, these are small figures measuring 3cm [1.25"] tall. Release date is late May 2011. Retail price is 4,560 Yen for a random box of 12 figures.



Boxes are available for pre-order from:
Hobby Search | amiami

Ah, thanks for getting that up, full-time work means most of my daily surfing is done on a [crappy] mobile phone ^^;

As for other SMT-related news, I've only heard about Atlus supporting the 3DS with a couple SMT games announced at E3 a little while back; it's not stated if they're remakes or new stuff though [but it'll be in 3D!!1! lol]. Other than that, haven't heard much either sadly ^^;

[Hobby Link Japan]

Atlus has been busy! There's a bunch of SMT and Persona related figures in the works to be released later this year.

First are the "Real Figure" [リアルフィギュア] series by FuRyu, a set of 2 demons, Shiva [ シヴァ] and Thor [トール]

These figures are 17cm [6.75"], and are available as a set, priced at 2,200Y, or individually for 1,100Y each.
Hobby Link Japan is taking pre-orders for both figures individually. To be released October 10th, 2010.

Next are the Game Characters Collection Mini series by MegaHouse, featuring these Persona 3 & Persona 4 characters: P3 protagonist, Aigis, Aigis (uniform), Orpheus, P4 protagonist, Teddie/Kuma, Shadow Teddie/Shadow Kuma, Izanagi, Naoto Shirogane, Rise Kujikawa and 2 secret figures.

They are only 3cm [1.25"] tall, and are currently available for pre-order in boxes of 12 [randomly assorted] figures at 4,788Y a box [or 399Y each]. To be released September 2010.
Many online shops have boxes stocked for pre-order, including Otacute.com and Animaxis.com.

And finally, a Jack Frost soft vinyl figure! Manufactured by ArtStorm:

It's 23cm [9"] tall, and no assembly or painting is required. No set release date yet, although it will be later this year. Here are a few sites still taking in pre-orders:
Otacute.com | AmiAmi.jp | HobbyFan.com

Info Sources: Tomopop.com: Real Figure / Jack Frost | fumuo.com | Animetsu blog

If you have all of these downloaded it would be much easier on me if they were uploaded to the comp subdomain (I will make that work again asap if need be) ...the upload hosts are a real pain to work with.

I'm so busy with free time projects lately, but I'm going to get the site index/search working again hopefully by this weekend.

Hiya, just a little update, I uploaded the p3 manga chapters in zip form on the comp; pretty much all the chapters except 9v1, because the second one is better anyways XD

Also found out that there really is only one chapter of the devil children manga released, though in my search I found someone who had the english script for it... I've also seen german editions on ebay, wonder how good their translations were [sadly I'm still pretty much monolingual ^^;]

Dunno if you've been to the Romhacking Aerie site, seems they have a few SMT related translation projects in the works.

Let's try a little recarm here :p

Here are a few SMT/Persona-related things that were just recently added to an online shop called Animaxis; the catch is that they only accept credit card payments, but it is slightly more accessible than Y!JP Auctions ^^; I ordered some Devil Children cards from them [they're in the mail, so I'll post an update on whether or not they arrive and what condition they're in; yes I know no one else cares about Devil Children XD]

As always pics = links if you're interested in seeing more :3

Okay, so should I just reupload each piece [a couple are a bit redundant, like volume 1 w/starry heaven & ch9 v2], or throw them all into one zip/rar/thing and upload it like that? Or extract and upload each image/page [are you going to put up the P3 manga for reading like the P4 one?]

And on the topic of manga, I've got the first chapter of the devil children red&black manga translated somewhere too [I heard there were more chapters done, but was only available on irc; i hate irc, it's just more work involved to find a file XD]

[[2007.10.14] Prologue (Piece 00)]

Hmm, burrowed through Gekkoukan High's old site with archive.org and found the mediafire/megaupload/sharebee links to the P3 manga chapters :3 Not sure if uploading to the comp ftp is possible yet? [Unless I'm interpreting your previous post wrong? XD] I think the only reason I wasn't keeping up with this manga myself was because I was still playing the game at the time and didn't feel like getting spoiled ^^; [I hope most of these links still work ^^;]

Starry Heaven has squat uploaded on their site, so this is all I've got to offer for now ^^;

So, uh, Sorry I've been kinda dead on the radar here, but I [re]found that site with a ton of early game sprites HERE it is. Early design Decarbria cannot be unseen! D: lol. I also never want to see another harpy again XD This is an epic resource, hope it can potentially be useful here ^^;

Alright! I think I finally have a possible alternative to Google on the search front:

[I decided to remove this link to avoid attracting spammers to the url which will be included server side in the future]

Go ahead and try that link. This is basically a home Google I was able to setup thanks to YaCy. If all pans out, in not too long I can make the website search bar fetch these results and format them too look like they belong on the website like the wiki pages.


PS: Hopefully it will be faster after I slow down the crawler a little (right now it's building an initial index)

Ooh, that looks really good! It's nice to see we have a reliable search alternative now :D [and sorry I'm not to helpful with this sort of thing ^^;]

*shrug* I'm kind of out of ideas though, so eh. Having part-time school/work now doesn't help the free time situation though XD I kinda wonder what happened to Emilio though... o.O;

x.X; Okay, so if anyone has recommendations on scanners... I swear, the quality seems to be getting craptacular every time I scan. But, here are the two demon pics, [full-pages were uploaded to the db]. And with my new found Japanese knowledge, I discovered that the ugly yellow Cerberus is actually Orthus. heh ^^;
 
Yea, I had to pull the book to the seams to get Kyuu-berus scanned, but the nose is a bit blurry still ^^; If you need a bigger resolution [so you can shrink it and then no one will know otherwise :p] let me know :3
Enjoy! [I need a better catch phrase around here XD]

And before I forget, also uploaded a profile image list of all the obtainable Devil Survivor demons in English: HERE. Had to upload it there because there's no way photobucket would let me upload a 2mb picture XD

Speaking of Google, can anyone else see this webpage:

http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=partner-pub-4203437078642917:z7ok7haa9p0&hl=en_US

And can you search on it?


This is supposed to to have the search index for this website, but it says the following to me:

PS: What happens when you try to use the "powered by Google" search on every page of digitaldevildb.com?

I think I got about the same error as you from that link AND from the search on site: [this is the quote from the link, the other seemed similar]
