Where does Sera rank on this scale?

Go is for dumb demons, I think calm is situational. You can always get it drunk to change personalities.
![91ae0b47d2[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/MT8GSOv.jpg "91ae0b47d2[1].jpg")
Who is this character? Is there some default name? When do I get to name myself?
>>135324183
Hiroko, Beth, Dareth, Zain or Gimmel.
Yes, you have to tell the guy you don't remember his/her name.
Never.
100% save when?
Are there complete translations of If... and Persona 2: EP PSP?
>>135325514
Why not make one yourself?
>>135326048
>If... and Persona 2: EP PSP?
both in progress
if... guy's an asshat and probably wont finish that tho
>>135326184
I've been trying during while waiting, so what is it exactly you want from me? Last time I went Fiend hunting prior to this I spent 3 months, trying every day for usually at least an hour or two and got nothing, and that's not even starting on Famed.
Currently hunting Matador, already got all 4 endings, but no luck.
To people that played Final:
In Anarchy when you kill your friends (First option is kill them silently? last option try to spare) What is the middle option? I heard it's different for each friend (Like for Navarre it was kill while smiling iirc)
>>135326184
The 100% guy is just hacking his game anyway, no one has explained how, since it's not with a powersave or a gateway, but he has 999 of every item and every demon in the compendium, it's not like people are asking for actual work.
Can someone please explain how he did that, by the way?
I'm about to get fucked up right now.
>>135330360
Neat. Are you doing the translation as you're going through the game? Or did you translate first, and are now going through the game to see what you missed/can improve?Sorry if I sound stupid.
>>135332771
That censor was unnecessary, as that was a fair question.
I am indeed doing it as I go, however that's just for dialogue. Enemies, items, areas and abilities have mostly been translated.
Not the most efficient way, but I've already done too much to deviate from that methodology.
For something like Devil Children Black Book though, which I've picked up, I've already dumped its whole script in Japanese and have been slowly translating it day by day. Planning to inject that shit into the rom once I've turned it all into English (using a program I wrote).
>mfw there's 11000 lines to translate for Black Book
Give us oblivion.
>>135324183
You can choose to say you don't remember, and that'll give them their default name, but that shifts you into the law alignment, so probably a bad idea if you're not going for a law playthrough.
>>135339103
NEVER
>>135335169
I see. How would someone get into stuff like this? It'd be nice to help with translating games that are Japanese-only. Although I don't know Japanese, it seems like there's less people that can actually insert script into the games than there are people that can translate.
On an unrelated note, can someone tell me who pic related is? Can't figure out if he's even SMT-related or from another series entirely.
In the Law ending, who's responsible for wiping out Flynn and Merkabah? If it aligns with God's will, does this mean that it was Mastema, not the four angels who rebelled against God? Also, is Ancient of Days supposed to side with the four angels?
>>135342523
Did you not watch the ending? You and Merkabah go to the reactor and Merkabah presses the remote, destroying Tokyo and both of you with it.
>>135342760
But Merkabah mentioned something about Abaddon, which was what got me confused.
More Tweeter icons
>>135343000
The Abaddon is the black hole the reactor generates.
>>135342523
Mastema is doing YHVH's will. Same for the Four Archangels.
so who primary voter here
>>135343000
That's just what she calls the black hole.
Ancient of Days is an avatar of YHVH, so Law aligned. The Archangels accomplished the initial purge and he came along to clean up.
Mastema was doing shady shit to try and improve his station, just like Strange Journey, but still in YHVH's name. Gabby was just in the way of that. It's infighting among subordinates for daddy's attention rather than rebellion.
>>135343746
Why did Bernie lose?
>>135344328
Because he was neutral.
>>135344178
>Merkabah
>She
The black hole is magic bullshit.
Theyunleash Black Holes in Final's Law ending too and it just kills all the unworthy in Tokyo. Nanashi lives.
>>135343746
>Missed last presidential election by about a week
>Not even sure I'm going yo want to vote this time
>>135344328
Because voting is held when all the young people are unable to go vote.
And people who've despaired that their vote doesn't matter.
>>135344178
I see. So who was the one Mastema looked to to seal the Archangels (or was it not important)? As I recall past Flynn died shortly after the firmament was created.
>>135343220
where are the Nozomi ones?
>>135344972
Demons. Killing them just means they respawn in YHVH Space.
>>135344328
Donald Trump has the support of the ArchAngels, and the Polythestic Alliance while Hillary somehow did well with Chaos faction
>>135344621
I can't view Merkabah as anything but an extension of Gabriel between those titties and her face. That she transforms back to give you quests makes it even better. Best Archangel.
>>135345154
Merkabah is made of four guys and one girl. Has a man voice that's made to sound robotic, and the human form it takes is Jonathan in the Neutral Route for IV and for Final in general.
>>135344991
Right here
http://megaten4f.jp/topics/1528/
>>135327767
The second one is kill them silently. The first one varied between each characters
>>135342289
>How would someone get into stuff like this?
Not really sure, desu.
My rationale was that nobody was going to do it, so I may as well have.
I was really bad at it, until I became adept. Now I do it regularly, and I've also taken on multiple projects.
>Although I don't know Japanese, it seems like there's less people that can actually insert script into the games than there are people that can translate.
Definitely the case.
>>135342289
It's True Kyouji from Devil Summoner 1.
>>135345513
Why does she looks so lewd?
>>135345342
But we all know Gabby is the most important Archangel
And Merkabah basically continues her quests seamlesslyAngel titties
>>135345531
not him but
is it hex editing or decompiling into assembly
if it's asm messing around with roms would make good practice for myself
>>135345651
Do the Archangels act differently in IV?
>>135344328
Because niggers won't vote for a crazy old jew, and I wouldn't either.
>>135345642
Because she wants to bear your children anon.
>>135330360
omg dude I want to play that so fucking bad, ur being such a tease
>>135346082
Text hacking is hex editing, generally. In it's most basic form at least.
Make a table and it becomes easy.
Compression is when it gets harder, and you don't always need ASM for that, but sometimes I guess you do (I believe when it comes to SNES rpgs as well). I can't really think of a game that requires ASM knowledge to crack text, except DDS2. MaybeDragon Warrior?
>>135347204
> except DDS2
Except DDS2, since that's the only game I've really deeply text hacked so far that required it.
This is what I meant to say.
How could I forget though? I've been trying my hand at a Square no Tom Sawyer translation and I've had no luck text hacking the beginning! That one is going to be tough.
>>135346868
Nozomi doesn't want to bear children. Danu is forcing her to get pregnant using Inanna's powers.
>>135347049
but seriously thank you for working on that.
>>135344328
Why would he win?
>>135345651
Jonathan is the tits anon. His big fluffy hair makes him look like a boob.
>>135343746
Voted for Sanders, despite my hick ass state.
>>135349652
>mfw voted for Trump
>>135345624
Thanks
>>135345531
>>135347204
So essentially, I would just look at some tutorials, download the programs, get a rom and start messing around? Fair enough. Is ASM this?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asm.js
Is it difficult to learn/put into use?
Thanks for the info so far.
>>135350771
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asm.js
That looks like the furthest thing from what you want.
You're looking for 6502 assembly.
Use these as a resource.

I found these to be enjoyable to use.
As for tutorials, just go to romhacking.net
They've got a ton of documentation that'll help you get started, and a forum full of people that'll help you.
Anyway, someone's mad that I tried to buy their item without having enough $$$!
>>135349869
I mean, if you're informed and you still decided to do that, that's up to you.
So is the only advantage to using Zeed the lack of having to spend Magnetite?
>>135351715
I don't think Sanders is going anywhere fast with half the delegates. I also don't trust him economically. Also the rest of the Republicans are either retarded or liars. And Hillary is a criminal.
>>135352848
Trump constantly bullshits about everything, so I'm not sure what saves him from you calling him a liar. I'm not looking to argue in here, I was trying to be respectful, though yeah, it's certainly not looking great for Sanders, but I can't complain if I don't vote for him either.
We can agree on everything else though, Cruz is certainly not worth voting for and Hillary is nothing more than a weasel who will say literally anything in an attempt to win.
>>135353302
All I know is that the common Dem. is cucked and the common Repub. is fucked.
>>135353410
Man she is such a fucking hack.
>>135351501
Thanks for all the pointers. Hopefully I'll get the hang of it all soon enough. It's nice that SMT games are getting translated now. Would it be alright to work on if... once I get proficient enough, seeing how it's going to be released in 2070 at this rate? Or are other people working on it?
>>135352434
He also obeys your commands more than other demons. He still sometimes defies you and gets really fucking weak during certain moon phases.
>>135353410
And some people still try to say the Democratic party isn't (also) the party of big banks and corporatism
>>135354001
I don't think anyone who isn't a retarded democrat who supports Hillary says that.
>>135354001
Hey man, people fell for the "hip black man with a kindhearted smile" meme
>>135354001
I don't think there is a real Democratic party, considering the fact the same policies and principles have been in the White House since Reagan got elected.
>smtg is only active when talking about waifus and politics

How is it that you can navigate through the Tokyo hubs dungeon-style but have to do it menu-style in Mikado?
Anywhere I can read all about the lore or interesting stuff that happens in all the SMT games? I've only played SJ, 3, and 4. Wanting to read about 1 and 2. From what I read about SMT1 it sounds a lot like 4 in some aspects which really interest me.
>>135362678
>>White ending is an interesting concept but poorly executed
I read this a lot on here but how would you guys execute it?

Here are some good summaries of the openings and endings of the first few games:
>http://neoending.web.fc2.com/gameop/gamesa.htm
>http://neoending.web.fc2.com/game/gamesa.htm
>>135363169
Hey. Nozomi is an adult.and it shouldn't matter the age of the character as long as their development is good, I cared about a bunch of children in Okamiden.
As for an improved white ending, why not a boss fight that's better than just hitting the Yamato reactor?
>>135363658
>Nozomi is an adult.
>As for an improved white ending, why not a boss fight that's better than just hitting the Yamato reactor?
Just hitting the Yamato reactor with only Burroughs (forced) on your side makes that fight pretty emotional though.
I admit that it's strange that nobody from Law, Neutral or Chaos tried to stop you but the presentation of the ending had a lot of impact this way in my opinion, it would be just another ending if it had a normal boss fight. Also I didn't think we were talking about the gameplay perspective because then Neutral would obviously be the best executed one even though it's pretty lacking storywise.
>>135363169
White should've just had more resistance from other major characters. Instead of teleporting you straight back to the Reactor for an anticlimactic battle.
I thought Law and Chaos fit their alignments pretty well in IV. The problem with Neutral was that it didn't need anything more ideas but they shoved a bunch of bullshit in with that Goddess of Tokyo. Couldn't even pick a real deity. Masakado and Flynn could've carried the story all on their own without "hope"
>>135355824
We need a Dagda.
>>135361718
Are you seriously this retarded?
>>135364220
Flynn's the real hope anyways. Tokyo-chan is just a ruse. In fact she reminds me of Aradia.
What the fuck is Steven?
And don't give me that not a demon shit, I really need to know.
>>135365112
It's physics, I ain't gotta explain shit.
>>135365112
Akemi Nakajima
>>135362678
>ie why does Flynn not follow you in YHVH space in this route?
Is it actually true? Because he's still available during the last boss fight.
>>135367432
Yes, Flynn follows you everywhere on Anarchy (which means you can use the almighty attack everywhere) but his model doesn't for whatever retarded reason.
>>135367432
Not physically. In Peace route his in game model follows you around, even attacks demons running after you for you, like an estoma sword. In Anarchy you just run around alone, but he is still with you in battles. Makes it feel more lonely in Anarchy; no friends by your side, just you against god.
>>135367656
Flynn isn't really your friend in Anarchy, just a tool like your demons. It makes sense he has about the same presence as them.
Wake up.
>>135367817
>no friends by your side, just you against god.
Perfect.
>>135369867
Your other friends are like demons too with your reasoning so that can't be it.
Please stop trying to justify that design choice.
>>135370450
But you killed your friends. It's clearly done to instill a feeling of loneliness, not because it was hard to do as they went out of their way to have it different on separate routes.
>>135371701
>clearly
I see what you're getting at but if that really is what they intended then they should've shut up Dagda and not let him fill the role of your friends during exploration.
Also they should've thought of alternatives for the Megami option or other ways to implement it since there's literally no difference gameplaywise, they still say the same shit.
>>135372591
Flynn is your equal Messiah in Peace, not in Anarchy, where you're alone on the top.
I agree the Megami thing was lazily done, it's marginally better than having the game choose Asahi by default, but I wish they retained more of their personalities while brainwashed. I wish they also gave you the option of which soul so sacrifice as the foundation of the world.
>>135372968
>Flynn is your equal Messiah in Peace, not in Anarchy, where you're alone on the top.
I know. What I'm saying is that his model following you or not doesn't change anything in terms of his status.
I'd even say Flynn feels more like a servant when his model is following you since you can order him around and watch him fight shit while you lay back while on Anarchy you can just use him when you smirk.
I don't have anything against them not retaining their personalities in the story, it makes sense, but they could've at least shown it during gameplay too with them saying all the same thing (like in the ending where everyone says the same thing in only a little different ways) and not the stuff they said before the Anarchy choice as if nothing happened.
>I wish they also gave you the option of which soul so sacrifice as the foundation of the world.
Same here, that would actually be a harder choice than choosing the megami, since you're literally killing them by erasing their existence. I really don't get why they didn't do this, loving drama and all.
>>135373384
>just
only
>>135373384
To each their own, none of your friends usually follow you on the map, when Flynn does, to me it feels like you have both protagonists on equal footing. Among minor nitpicks that bother me is also the fact that Navarre is still a ghost as the Megami. All the assets from IV is still in the game, it makes more sense to come back as a human when you're resurrected.
Did the DLC where you run around with the 4 protags come out yet?

>tfw you make it through the cursed hallway in nocturne without estoma or repel
To those who have played MegaTen games in Japanese, how far along were you when you did and how well did you understand them? I've been seriously studying for about half a year and I'm able to get through some simpler things with a dictionary. I've been wanting to play Persona 2 but I'm not sure if I'm ready for it yet since I'm assuming it'll get philosophical and metaphysical or whatever. On the other hand, I imagine the modern setting might be easier to handle than some medieval or sci-fi setting. My main worry is missing important plot points because of my lack of understanding or having to stop to look up words so much that a scene loses its momentum.

That game has a lot of mythological references it might be hard to catch them in Japanese but then again you might never have heard about them in english anyway.
>>135414747
Which kind of mythology? Just mythology in general or some specific set?
Does Persona 2 have Demon/Persona descriptions? Might be fun to see how they're described in Japanese.
>>135415614
Yes.
>>135415614
No.
>>135415614
Maybe.
>>135415614
I don't know.
>>135415667
>>135415914
I just can't remember if Persona 1 had them so I don't know whether the 2 games would have them either.

Mayan also there's the wholeancient aliensshit.
I am currently playing through smt 2, and I seem to law aligned without intending too. Are there easy ways to manage alignement in this game?
Just beat Gabriel/Uriel/Raphael in Nocturne, how far into the game am I?
>>135417850
Last quarter of it.
Clear Labyrinth of Amala in a few dungeons, if you want True Demon Ending.

You're almost done.

I'm working on a save. Matador, White Rider, Black Rider, Pale Rider found so far, with a decent Fiend-killing team. No plans on getting DLCs though and it's on the card so I'm not sure if its possible for me to upload it.

JK's save manager can pull it off the card, I would love it if you would upload that save either now or when you're done. I have shit luck with fiends, as you know, but I'll take only having to hunt 3 over hunting them all.
Freedom is Nocturne canon ending.

simply epic
If I go for TDE in Nocturne will there be a way to tell what reason I would've gotten if I hadn't completed the labyrinth?
Like how 4 has that guy in the hunters association that tells you your alignment but you can still go with the white anyway
>>135414226
This is fucking great
>>135417136
That's natural given the plot. You get to easily side with your rep at the end a la Nocturne if you aren't too far to an extreme.
>>135425256
Deviantart is great.
>>135426078
Fucking hell. Give us oblivion.
>>135418981
Someone edit this to floating Final Stephen.
>>135426078
They make okay stuff sometimes
Man all these alignment bugs in SMT1 are killing me. I just went up 8 floors in the cathedral only to find my alignment had shifted from neutral to chaos somewhere along the way (even though it's not supposed to be able to change after the lock) and couldn't get through the door cause chaos hero was blocking the way, then I tried going back to the bottom and couldn't enter the heart of the cathedral anymore.
I had to reload my game and climb all the way back up, only this time running from every encounter except for the bosses, at least it worked and I was able to proceed with the neutral path. I'll probably have to do the same thing on the way down to Asura.
Someone save me from this hell.
>>135429753
Neutral is the canon path in SMT1, m8.
You chose it, you bear the burdens.

Simply amazing.
So once I finish Soul Hackers, Strange Journey, and a Neutral run of IV, what should I play? Keep in mind that I'm unable to emulate Playstation games.
>>135430706
Nocturne. Buy a PS2.
>>135429753
Im assuming all those encounters were law demons
you gained ALOT of chaos from that
Ive heard of similar occurrences in the diamond realm because there's only 1 chaos demon there
in general try to occasionally end encounters non violently; you even get items/ macca/ MAG from doing so too
>>135430461
Maybe all mainline excluding if... but if... is on another time line for sure.
>>135430461
Knowing that there are different universes, which have their own parallel and branching timelines is one thing because that's something shown in games, but I can't fathom how people are stupid enough to think how all Mainline takes place in the same universe.
Does final have bullshit fiend rates?
>>135430917
Nah even If... has mainline connections, especially as the fanbook that revealed it was Raidou XL and that timeline show it in the same universe as I and II. There's been some other older timelines that do the same as well.
It's just that no one understands how it could end up in the Devil Summoner/Persona timelines.

>>135431208
Yes
>>135431208
Probably, I haven't find them and I've been playing for 200+ hours, I'm playing on normal btw
>>135430831
>try to occasionally end encounters non violently
Yeah I tend to do that against enemies that I know can inflict annoying status ailments or reflect physical attacks.I nearly wiped my entire party when a demon repelled the Hinokagutsuchi back at me
After googling around I found some people had the same problem I had, with their alignment changing after the lock and causing inconsistencies with the story, I wouldn't mind as much only I wanna jump straight into SMTII after this, so I'm determined to end up neutral.
>>135431208
No. They're in a sekret dungeon, but can only be encountered once per playthrough so no fiend farming.
>>135364975Homosuck?
>>135431239
I feel like someone did a flowchart of that for me once but I dunno where it is.
>>135430461
>>They think the events identical to the first game that make up SMT2s are a coincidence
mate nobody thinks this, SMT 2 literally takes place several decades after the neutral ending of SMT 1.
>>135433127
No the Goddess of false Hope in Nocturne.
>>135433127

Pretty sure he's referring to the character in Nocturne.
Uh oh... Looks like its time to start translating Shin Megami Tensei Imagine: Offline Edition.
>>135433591
>>135433568
Thats precisely why I was confused.
Also I thought the noct one was Aradine or something.
>>135433781
Why not be useful and translate Final?
>>135434479
Come now, aren't we guaranteed a translation? I thought Japan started to give less of a fuck about SJW bullshit but then again kowashitai is clearly getting censored. smfh
>>135434738
>aren't we guaranteed a translation
The PR manager of Atlus USA literally said people shouldn't make assumptions about localizations in response to people saying Final was guaranteed.
>>135435156
Welp.
>>135435156
>TMS FE gets localized
>Not Final
Should have known when Atlus USA used the bear as a mascot.

I'm grinding a bit of Macca for another NG+ so i can start hunting Trumpeter and Red Rider (I'll do Chemtrail last because it takes forever to find him and he's unnecessary. (Currently in Chaos NG+ right now) I'll take a look at the save manager (I haven't cracked my 3ds yet)
>>135435156

Who even hired this guy?
