Title: Playing the Snow Queen Quest on U.S Persona?
Post by: EvilHero on April 08, 2007, 11:20:20 PM
I thought this would be the best place to ask.  

I hear you can reach it through a gameshark code.  I'm pretty interested despite the fact its all garbled and untranslated (apparently?)

Anybody know where I can find this code?

Start Snow Queen Quest

Activate the code in the infirmary after taking Mary's mom there (this is after the demons first invade the town). Then go into room 1-6.

Snow Queen Quest Enable
D01F5350 0028
3010273D 0021

All this does is stops the "Nothing here" box from showing up when you walk into the gym storage room to get the mask. If it doesn't work, just use only the last line, and be a little careful if you can't turn it off until you're in the gym.

Use Google.

I don't know what to tell you.  I searched all types of variations of "Persona Snow Queen Quest Gameshark code."  all I got were random gamefaq links and code sites that had nothing to do with it.

Trust me, I did a lot of searching and even asked on another forum before I came here (just ask Kaki.)  I appreciate the response and thank you.

Can you actually do the snow queen quest on us version???? I would do it! But persona series are actually extremely hard to cheat on them. I really dont think there is a working code =(

I'm assuming this code was provided outside of a code creator website (all they ever provide is infinite health and money.)  So why shouldn't it work?

Sorry EH. This probably would have been easier had I provided the codes. ;)

I've read that this quest have, like, 16-hours dungeon... Is it true? If it is true then this and what I've read about all those various choices you have to make during the quest itself makes it one of the most difficult jRPG's quests ever... o_O

With that code in place is the script still in English during the quest or is it in Japanese despite being the U.S game? I might have to invest in a gameshark for random things like this if that is the case.

It's garbled English text I think.

I wonder why the SQQ wasn't translated. It just doesn't make any sense to not hire on someone to do it unless parts of it seemed too risque for whatever fucked up reason to someone. Or were no-save dungeons too mind blowing for the 32bit generation?

off-topic: For the record, what are the "profanity" rules in here? If I end up posting more social-casually in here, they're bound to start slipping out.

The most commonly accepted excuse is that Atlus wanted to get the game on store shelves in time for the christmas rush.

A couple of tiny bits of the SQQ were translated, at least one boss name, and one of the cut scenes.

As far as "risque" elements, of course there was the Toro transformation scene/"fight". That could easily have been edited out, and even then, there are a few cases of nipples and penises to be found completely uncensored on Sebec quest demons.

Personally, I doubt it had anything to do with difficulty. Time constraints and/or simple laziness would seem to be most probable.

I couldn't imagine something being cut out like that. Translation wise time equals money, so the only real excuse is SQQ wasn't expected to sell more units, so it was skimped on.

Still seems like so little text in turn for double plus gameplay, not to mention posterity. I can't remember for anything if Revelations was translated faithfully or if text that seemed to fit with the pictures was just inserted.

Well, recently while experimenting with various disc images with both versions of the game I discovered the opening dialogs to be actually fairly similar. The major differences seem to be cosmetic but they obviously gave everyone English-sounding names and omitted certain details, like Ayase being a "ko-gal troublemaker" and so forth.  I haven't played extensively since all the discs I burned inevitably freeze after leaving the Hospital so I can't really say for sure.  I would imagine they had to be at least a little faithful to the plot.

You might think, but there is basically two prevailing philosophies when it comes to localization. Most localizations I've encountered regretibly tend to just string along the pictures.  I couldn't tell you if this is done because the original dialog is considerate less than suitable, or if its because the people localizing it don't even attempt to translate/perhaps are barely able to do so.
