Hi I'm Philemon :) Nice to meet everyone!

Philemon! There will be no introduction threads! It is the way of 's/him'(you should know who I'm talking about) but welcome. :) I'm hoping to get more members over here.

Philemon need not an introduction. You are the one who lives in the place between Consciousness and Unconsciousness in all humans. You are thou thy, and thou art I. Or something.

I figure if we're not going to have a big introduction forum, we'd probably be best off having a singular introduction thread for everyone to post in when they register (if they wish).

So here we go! :blah:

Hello everyone , I look forward to posting here. ^^

Introduction?

Hello, I am awesome.

Yo, i just registered here, i'm rotkappchen from France.

Hey everyone. I'm pretty much new to the SMT series, as I've only played DDS. It was an awesome game, and I found this place while looking for some sort of fan website about the series.

Are you from France?

Nope, America... Wisconsin to be exact.

Hello, I chose to go about a more deeper approach to this forum with a different user name rather than stating "I'm Zidargh.", just like everywhere else.

I look forward to seeing where this forum will go.

You're not making any sense.

Hello everyone!  I found this place about a couple days ago, but I thought I'd want to have a SMT signature/avatar before I joined. :)  Thanks Tony for hosting the Jack Latern picture.

Anyways, I'm semi-new to the SMT series.  I played Nocturne while my friend was on vacation during the begining of the summer, but didn't get far in it before I had to give it back. :|  I recently bought DDS and almost done with my first playthrough, as well as anxiously wanting for DDS2 to be released so I can nab it.

Other than that, I'm from the USA; Nevada to be exact.  I'm probably one of the more "younger" users here, but whatever!  But that ends my introduction.

Glad to meet you all!

And within the context of this thread, neither are you.

But on topic, it's good to see people are interested in the majority of Atlus' series. As I live in England, I doubt I'm going to see the games off shore before you do so this means I get a better idea of whether to get 'em or not.

How so? You're the one who said "rather than having 'Zidargh' everywhere.", which made no sense to me. Explain.

Well at every other message board I've been on/am with, my User Name's just been Zidargh. So I needed a change.

Oh. I thought it was some kind of new fad word or something. >_>;

Hello I'm Naomi! I have only played DDS. I love DDS! Okay I'm being quiet now.

I bet you're not from France, either, huh?.

nope the USA. Why do you ask?

Welcome to those who have just joined!:) Hope you enjoy your stay and post lots~

I was just screwing around, that's all.

Hi, I'm Kuzu. Call me a noob to the SMT games, but I like them.

*bites you* D: Welcome to the board~

Thanks~ XD I was pretty sure you knew who I was... ^^; Maybe I should at least mention it next time! ROFL~

Haha, the name sounded familiar to me. I should of realized from when I was talking to you on MSN. Plus your comment from you at your journal confused me. I thought, "Eh? She joined? When?!" XD;

Hello everyone, and sorry in advance if I commit any typing/spelling errors. Just an old SMT fan here. Well, not old in the age sense... I'll try to convince some friends to join here. It's always nice to start something new!:updown:

That'd be great, it's always good to get more people.  Especially somewhere new, I'm going to do the same...hopefully.

Also, welcome to the boards.

I coded the image gallery and lexicon at d3, and am going to code the upcoming demonary. I've never played  an Atlus game in my life, Tony just pays well. :-P

Welcome to the board for those who have joined! :) Glad to have you all around!

Yes, welcome to those who have just joined.  Namely, Early Archer and DeadSeraphim!

Hi, my name is JaggedJim. I got hooked on MegaTen with Nocturne and am currently playing through SMT2.

Welcome to the forums JaggedJim. :D

I'm playing through SMT2 as well, but I didn't get far in it.

Welcome JaggedJim! I have used you walkthroughs and maps. Thank you for making them. It helps me a lot. The DDS one is the one I use.

Boy, I need to read this more often lol. Thanks for joining everyone. I certainly appreciate it. :love:

Hello there everyone! I've played quite a bit of Megaten: SMT, SMT3 (all three versions), DDS series, Persona series, and the Devil Children games. Nice to meet you all.

Um, hi guys.  I jumped here from the Nirvana update journal, and decided to register here so I could gush eloquent over my favorite Megaten games.
That's about it for me.

JaggedJim, SpicyOctopus, Kaysper, welcome to the board!^^ Glad to have more members around!

Yay new people.

Hey there Kaysper and SpicyOctopus, welcome to the boards!

Hi, Hitoshura, to serve you. I began with SMT: Nocturne, then I played DDS and DDS2, and right now I'm going through SMT2

Welcome to the board, Hitoshura!

Hello everyone, I found the link here on Nirvana. I've played all of the primary series, and a good portion of the spin offs (I just bought Ronde recently, though I don't have the hardware to play it yet...), but have yet to finish any of them save DDS for various reasons -_-.

Heh, I know all about not finishing games. Time is always an issue.

Thanks for joining everybody. SpicyOctopus is a great name lol.

Ah, I dislike introductions, but I figured I might just have to do so. So, here I am.

I'm a female, currently residing in London for awhile. I enjoy writing, fencing/handball/soccer, unusual paintings, and am an avid video gamer. For anything else, check out my profile.

It seems like a nice community here, and I will enjoy my stay here.

To those who've just joined the board, welcome!:)

And Kikoken, is your avatar by any chance from Furuba?^^

Hello all.  Just stumbled across the site by accident, but I really like what I see so far.  I was introduced to the Megaten universe back in '96 when I decided to pick up Persona MIP instead of Suikoden for something to play over Xmas vacation and I have been a fan ever since.

That's a pretty good guess, but it's not. It's from Fruits Basket, and his name happens to be Yuki. He's my favorite character from the series. And thanks for the welcome, Argilla.

Welcome Kakizaki! I think I've seen you from the other Megaten board.

Kikoken, Furuba = Fruits Basket.^^; It's just a shorter name for the Japanese version.

Didn't really feel like it at first. But I do apologize and better late then never. Soulless_Beast The Furious Saint demonology lover,theology debater, poet, writer and surprisingly evil for such a 'nice' guy.

Hello everyone, I found this place when this dude named Tony E-Mailed me to see if he could host a SMT: Nocturne FAQ I submitted to GameFAQs.com on his website (Which I asume is this one).

Nice place you all got here.  :smug:

Oh, uhm, I started posting before I did this.
So hi.

You're the same person from Deviant Art, no? I think I favorited one of your pictures... I'm cool like that.

If the person you're thinking of has the account named "nuu", then yes, I'm the same person!
Which pic did you fav? :updown:

Lucifer Red, Argilla-Jinana, Ingest, and Raidou.

Any plans on drawing Chaos Hero? >_>; He's awesome.

Chaos hero?  
I didn't play the original smt, but I'll put him on my list, since he has a pretty neat design. xD

Heh. Chaos Hero's designs (both forms) are my favorite in the series. I like how Kaneko kind of gave Roald a Chaos Hero-esque look to him. And you should play the original -- I find it to be the best in the series. More people should play it, heh...

I actually tried.
But then I got to the mall in the beginning and I got so hopelessly lost.  Especially since all the corriders look the same.
Not to mention I kept dying. +___+
I'm kinda a bad gamer...  I swore I'd try again though.

And I kept waiting for my pet dog to come BACK.  
And it never DID! ;___;

I just spent some time on your site. Nice drawings there. There's a painful lack of art related to these series floating about

Not really. It's just pretty much all Yaoi.

Haaa you got that right.
Well, it's not ALL yaoi, but there's a lot of it.

If you want art, you can just check this out: http://shindds.cside4.com/search/tbookmarkp.cgi?w=r&g=ILLUST&m=bkg

Thanks for visiting my site, btw. :)

I wish there wasn't so much goddamned Yaoi. It just gets really old.

By the way, best fanart ever (http://kuori.pos.to/ex/hgex/game/dds3_1.htm). That Chiaki Picture is awesome, I think I like it more than the original Kaneko art of her.

Actually, I draw a lot of that stuff too, with the occasional yuri pic thrown in.

I like that pic, but I didn't like it THAAATT much.  I wonder why.
 This pic is awesome though. (http://kuori.pos.to/ex/hgex/game/noc_3.htm)

Welcome Sith Lord Illidan and Nuu to the DDBBS!^^

Since I've been gone for so long.

Welcome to everyone who joined while I was gone, hope you enjoy your stay. ^_^

Hi, I'm Nyugvo6 as you can see. There's not mutch to say, I'm a metalhead, and I play with nocturne since a week now. I've found this site accidentally, as I was searching for a picture of the magatama. I'll stay here now. And would like to help improving the site, however, I'm not sure if I can help...

A BROTHER OF METAAL!!!! YEAHH!!! METAL IS THE LAW!!!!!
HEAVY METAL OR NO METAL AT ALL!!! :band:
.
.
.
Sorry about the Man´o´war joke :smug:
Welcome to the boards! Is Nocturne your first experience in the series?

Yes it is, But soon I'll have Digital Devil1... I hope so...

Ps: The gods made heavy metal, and they saw that it was good.
Manowar rules.

Welcome to the board! :) Hope you enjoy your stay and yes, play as much Megaten as you can get! :3

Welcome.  :yarr:

I´m not such a huge fan, but they have some nice songs. It´s just that the whole "WE ARE THE KINGS OF METAL" thing gets kinda irritating after a while...

Yeah.

BTW, my favourite is Iron Maiden

Old Iron Maiden is good Iron Maiden. The new albums aren´t nearly as good :frown:.
BTW, some of my favorite bands are Saxon and Whitesnake :whistle:

Hey there everyone. I'm new here. Just wanted to say hello.

Maiden is awesome BTW. So are Saxon and Whitesnake. Anyone around here get into Black Metal?

Nice! The newblood is full of METAL!!!:axeman:
.
.
.
Anyways...
I´m not so much into Black Metal, that´s more like my brother, but I do like some bands, such as Brujeria and stuff.
It´s just that my memory sucks :nolaff:...

Hello, I'm new here too. Just thinking to drop here.

Welcom Milia, feel free to drop by.
Btw, is your nick from Guilty Gear?

Well, I'm one of the newest, but I feel in the family... XD
I'll introduce myself. Here in this forum I'm called JackFrost, obviously, because I love this little and nice monster. My real name is Nicolás Rodríguez. If you saw some of my posts, may be you noticed I'm not from an English country. I'm from Argentina, where we speak Spanish. But I love English too, so I'm here to make some friends. For those who want to add the MSN, it's himi.tomoki@hotmail.com (EVERYBODY are welcomed).

First of all, sorry if I make some mistakes, but I'm learning English. So... please, forgive me... XD

Well, I'm leaving, because I have to go... see ya and congratulation for this great forum...

To all the new members, welcome to the board! Please post lots and lots! Keep the board active~ It's been dead for quite awhile now...^^;

Heh... you got two Jack Frost loving newbies in a row it seems.

I got in to the series fairly recently...  I'm a large fan of monster raising stuff in general, so quite a while ago I got in to Devil Children.  
Didn't really pay attention to the rest of the series for a while, until Nocturne was coming out here.  
It looked kind of interesting, so when I found a copy at EB Games I decided to try it out, even though I didn't know much about the game.  Aaaaand I ended up getting hooked and after Nocturne and DDS, I've become pretty obsessed with the series.

So yeah... I'm really in to games, animation and comics in general... mostly Japanese ones, but I'm not incredibly picky. Favorite genres are RPGs, Puzzle Games, Fighting games and all those franchise-y mascot games like Sonic, Kirby, Megaman, etc.
Far as anime/manga goes, my favorite genres are Shounen, Shoujo and weird shows in general (also worthy of note, my favorites of either genre are some of the weirder and/or more spastic series).

Well, that's my intro... hope I didn't ramble on too long.

Thanks for signing up. Hope you're able to visit pretty often.

Also, Kirby is becoming really underrated. I hope that GameCube one still comes out...

Hello. I'm a regular at Megaten Haven and a few Megaten-related GameFAGs boards. That's pretty much it.

Welcome JackFrost, Icy Age and Morzas!
Now that Morzas mentioned the Megaten Haven, I´ve remembered a nice tradition they had in the old days: They always asked the newbies wich game was their first contact with the series and wich was their favorite.
Sounds like a good tradition, right? :updown:
I´m not trying to steal somebody´s ideia, and besides, I doubt they invented that, but it´s a nice way to make the newcommers feel more confortable.
So how about we do this here, Tony? :blah:

Hi!

Just signed up once I saw the board.  I've been an avid fan of Persona for a while, but I'm also into Digital Devil Saga.  I'm also a pen and paper RPG hobbyist, and I'm in the process of converting both Persona and Digital Devil Saga into the HERO system.  I'm looking to converting them to the new World of Darkness system too in the future just for kicks.

*waves to everyone* :)

Thanks for joining. I was glancing over your post about that HERO system you came up with... I'll definitely be commenting on that when I have the time to really sit down and read it all. Looks very interesting.

Cool.  Was actually worried that there weren't many tabletop rpg players here.  Pretty much got hooked on the games with Persona 1, and it still remains a favorite.  Digital Devil Saga was fantastic though. :D

Hi all!  I'm new...

I picked up SMT: Nocturne because I saw the Atlus logo on it after I had fallen in love with Disgaea...  Nocturne kicked off a "must have all things Atlus" binge...  The SMT series is by far my favorite stuff from them and I've managed to get my hands on all the US released titles except for the Game Boy titles and Jack Bros...  Look forward to hanging out here with y'all!

Welcome to all the new members! Please post a lot here! :) Sorry I haven't been around much, school and life in general kills me at the moment. :D

Hope you don't mind my slight offtopicness but...

Nice to see I'm not the only Katekyo Hitman Reborn fan on the English side of the internets.

I love the series. :) Favorite manga so far!

Hello, I'm only one russian fan of MegaTen here. That's enough...

Welcome to the board, Laharl!^^

I thought that nobody haven't noticed that I'm posting here.... hehe

TX!

Hi every one, I found this place through 1up.com so there ya go.

I'm new here. I might as well give a full, proper introduction:


My name is Miguel. I'm 22, and I live in New York City.

I have been following the series since the first installment of Persona, and I pretty much went back to play the earlier import titles. This series is probably my second favorite rpg series (next to the original Phantasy Star series for the master system and megadrive), and I cannot wait for the next installment to reach the U.S.

Anything else needed, you can check out my myspace right here (http://www.myspace.com/dr_frostbite).

Thanks for joining the forums. I guess posting on 1up did a little something heh.

Persona was my first game related to the series as well. It's probably why I'm interested in Persona 3 to such a huge degree.

Well, I actually found this place on my own >_>. It went from looking for DDS pics to modify into PSP wallpaper to stumbling onto this site.

But yeah...good stuff.

I was referring to Glactor haha. :buh:

What is the resolution on the PSP anyway? I was going to make some wallpapers fit to that, but it just never happened. Now is as good of a time as ever.

480 X 272. I have some pretty cool ones made of Nocturne, Persona 2, and DDS.

Perhaps you can make a thread about related PSP wallpapers in the general megaten section when you get a chance? I'd like to see them.

Yay! More members! Welcome to the board! :)

Well... I've hoped that here is much more MT fans, than in Russia, however..

Well, at least I've found people, who've played SMT I-II) That's cool):lurk:

Hello! Ohayo! Guten Tag! Hola! Ect! Long time SMT fan, SMT I was my second RPG. Nice to meet fellow Megaten fans and such. Hope to get to know you all.

...And now that I look at it...My username is mispelled...

Welcome to the board! :) Post lots~

I tried to see if I can change my name as a test but looks like I can't so I'm not sure if I can change your username to the correct spelling.^^;

I guess it's not so perfect, eh?


HARR HARR

Wow....

Just see THAT:

There is nothing to say anymore.... LOL

Hi. I'm a new member (obviously) who stumbled upon this little Megten treasure trove whilst searching one night. I thought I'd introduce myself and say hi.

I'm British, so I know little in the way of Megaten games (only SMT:Nocturne and DDS1 have ever made it over here in terms of ANY Megaten games) but I've become very interested in them. I'll see you all round after I sort out an avatart and all that.

Thanks for joining. Post a lot and maybe other people will again too, finally lol. Glad to see people here from all over the place and not just in North America.


The facial expression and crazy colored t-shirt look hilarious together.

Welcome to the board, Lycanthroat! :D Post lots and have fun~

Hello!

I've posted earlier already, now decided to introduce myself properly.

I discovered this site through the english Wikipedia, while I was analyzing some MegaTen series related info. I got interested in the series after playing Nocturne, which was a relief RPG-wise.

I come from Lithuania, a very small country in the geographic center of Europe. Gaming is not what people do back here. I don't even know if there is a proper video game shop, aside from all of the supermarkets.

Apart from gaming I do music, beatboxing to be more specific. I listen to everything from Jazz to Jungle, practically everything that's in any way asociated with Hip-Hop music and culture.

I guess that I'll be staying on these boards, so be seing you all!

Hello, I found your site a while ago but just decided to join recently. I started liking this genre when Persona first came out and have adored it since! I can't wait for Atlus to translate SMT: Devil Summoner and Persona 3! I really hope that they make SMT for the Nintendo DS, that would TOTALLY rule, I love having demon companions and even transforming ones! Anyway, just introducing myself and saying hi, so um, hi!


Currently owned: Persona w/guide book, Persona 2 w/guide book, SMT:Nocturn w/guide book, Soundtracks to above games, Demikids light and dark,  Revelations: Last Bible, shitajiki to persona and some random doujin.

I'm a long time MegaTen fan, and for some reason have never joined a board or forum centered around it.

So... Uh... I thought I would. Yeah.

Glad to see more members here! :D Welcome to the board you guys and please post lots!^^

I just joined :D I fell in love with Digital Devil Saga almost instantly so, here I am! I know Argilla, too *waves at her* :D

Saaaanna! :D Welcome to the board! POST LOTS!!! X)

Hello Everyone! I stumbled upon the board while sifting the net for Persona 3 information and thought, "Hey, a place where I can ramble on about MegaTen and the occult and not sound insane!" (Well, COMPLETELY insane...) So, hi!

Hey there, Tsunehito! :) Welcome to the board and please do ramble about the MegaTen series! *pokes* Post, post! X)

Hooray! I can feel the love!

Post I shall. I'll post better than anyone has ever posted before!

Howdy!

I found this site/forum through random searches for DDS info. Must say I love it to death. ^_^

Anyway, the intro!

1) Your Name? Robby, or Rob for short!

2) Why ya joined this forum? Well I've been lurking for quite a while now, and decided to finally register. =)

3) Your favorite Anime(s)? RahXephon, Bleach, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, Full Metal Panic!, .hack series, Ah! My Goddess

4) Your Favorite Game(s)? Shining Force series, Atelier Iris 1 & 2 (looking forward to Ar Tonelico!), Valkyrie Profile. Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2 (currently replaying Digital Devil Saga 2).

5) Favorite Book(s) - Lord of Chaos by Robert Jordan, Chronicles and Legends trilogies by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. Also truly enjoyed the RahXephon mangas.

6) Movie(s) - Spirited Away, Die Another Day, X-men and Spiderman movies.

I'm also a avid fan of Doctor Who, got hooked as a child when my family and myself first watched Tom Baker's adventures. Enjoyed the second series that recently aired on BBC1 (go go TARDIS!). Also a large Smallville fan, owning seasons 1-4 on DVD and eagerly awaiting the season 5 box set. Used to be a Sony-lover seeing as the PS1 and PS2 had the most variety of RPG's out of the console wars...but with the PS3 looming, I'm not sure I can (or want to) spend that much money for "another computer".

Anyhow, my IM info is in my profile so feel free to hit me up. If I'm home and on the PC, I'll gladly chat. ^_^

Hiya all. Just joined up here.

A bit of personal history - I started out on my Megaten craze about a year ago while browsing for SNES RPG ROMs. I found the translations of both SMT and SMT2 (and I wish If... was translated...), and immediately got hooked by the otherworldy dream sequence in the first. I could tell this would be an exciting, nostalgic experience. I proceeded to buy both America-localized Persona games for the PS1, which was no easy task considering their rarity. They didn't have the nostalgia of the SNES games, but they were still excellent games. Just yesterday, I recieved Digital Devil Saga for my birthday (Not a cheap find at this point, mind you), and hence devour the SMT experience once again. I'm looking to bag Nocturne and DDS2 as well; DDS2 should be quite easy to nab but Nocturne I may have trouble with.

Of course, I'm also looking forward to the upcoming Persona 3 and Devil Summoner releases. And also pray that Imagine will come to the states. (Hah!)

DDS2, in my experience, is actually not hard to find at Gamestop. The one over here had it for $40 new.

Anyway, thanks for joining. It's nice to see some new members in the last week or so that aren't ViagraCheap2004 or PlayPokerOnline or FreeValium65. Sigh lol.

But ViagraCheap2004 is always offering me such valuable goodies ;__;

More members joined~! Whoo! Welcome to the board and please post lots and lots and lots! :D

Eurion, your icon is hilarious...XD *can't stop staring at it*

Hello all. I figured I should join, considering how long I've been lurking. I have to admit, this is probably the single friendliest Megaten forum I've been to. This should be fun

More like this is the only friendly English speaking Megaten forum. The other degrades into chaos and an ocean of spam. Too bad there isn't more traffic here.

Noob here.
I'm a huge RPG and myth fan. Megaten is my favourite game series even though I only played only two games. :O

You shut your face and post! >:D

Oh, and "welcome!" to both you and Paradise. :D

Thanks for joining, every one. I too wish this place would pick up speed, but I'm not sure what to possibly do for it. If any one has suggestions I'd be more than happy to listen to them.

You could pay me per post. ;)

I feel compelled to say something, but the Haven has been rather odd as of late. Some shitheads have been crawling out of the woodwork to cause trouble, but I' sure they'll be banned again in due time.

Near the end of its run, the original Megaten Haven board started to fall into slight disarray with idiots like Audrey -- I know you didn't mind her, but she turned everything into spam and she just wasn't funny. It was cool Brand was willing to take over the board and start anew, but it is a complete crap fest. Every thread eventually turns into some sort of fight. It is a spam graveyard.  They will get banned, it will calm down for a month, and then it will start again.

I personally stopped going to MH because of those reasons. I didn't go for very long, however. I do appreciate its history, though. It's ran by some nice people and it definitely gets good traffic and news, but the attitude of a handful of people there turned me off completely.

I suppose the same is true of the official Atlus boards at times... but that's mostly because there seems to be a clique that kind of has its own inside jokes and so forth. For someone like me who rarely visits it's very hard to just jump into it.

But really, I suppose this isn't the place to get into all of that. All I know is that I don't have much tolerance for people being jerks and Argilla has even less than that lol. The only non-spammer banning work has been through her, but I don't think it was a regrettable decision.

I am a frequent poster at the Atlus MBs, and at times we can be rough -- If you can stick it out, it really is a pretty good board. It is hard to explain unless you are a regular there.  It isn't nearly the mess that the MH boards are, spamming is kept at much more tolerable levels.

I believe I know of the banning you speak of -- I didn't have a problem with it. That particular person could be quite a jackass at times.

Audrey's post were alright at times...I mean, the times where she actually SETTLED down which was pretty rare but then, she'd start back up again. D: I haven't been to MH for awhile and I don't really intend to anymore. There are a few good people I know there but other than that, pretty much every topic went...off-topic. :\

Tony - I feel the same with the Atlus MB boards, haha! I was thinking about registering there before but ah, not sure if I can just jump right in either. XD;

The people at Atlus MB will eat you alive. Stay away. O_o

Just kidding, but I agree that it's hard to jump into things over there.

The people at Atlus MB will eat you alive. Stay away. O_o

Just kidding, but I agree that it's hard to jump into things over there.

I've only been to the Haven a few times. It was a cool place at the time, but I just couldn't get into it, I guess. I don't really know much about anything there.

Yo all! I'm new here, A Shin Megami fan since Nocturne came out (Never got to finish it because my asshole friends 'borrowed' and broke my copy T_T) but I have beaten both DDS games and proudly support any games in the Shin Megami sereis (SP?) that make it over here. Which reminds me, I need to re download the patched roms for SMT 1 and 2....

Shin Megami Tensei, I think. How's SMT II? I've never had a chance to play it.

Actually I have yet to play 2(I refuise to do so until I beat one) I just restarted the first and have decided to use cheats until I get to the point I was at previously... the first boss is so easy when you have a sonic sword equipped.:yarr:

As with all things in life. :smug:

>> Hey, guys.

I'm just an avid DDDB site user (it's awesome, very nice place to point people towards, who don't know about MegaTen) from sunny Malaysia, and thought this was a good place to be involved in after a while. Not too busy, not too sparse, not too YOUFAILATMEGATENFOOL.

First game I picked up was actually DDS. Later, a friend kicked my ass and my pants a few times when I told him I didn't pick up Nocturne when it was in a store sometime earlier. I eventually got a copy of it, and along the way I acquired Kazuma Kaneko addiction (any support groups for this?). I'll admit I'm mostly in it for the character and demon designs, and I'm a mythology hobbyist so I tend to play "Guess The Demon" or something like that. I dig the WTF moments brought out by MegaTen/K-K.

These days, my MegaTen-related interests go between keeping track of the translation projects (P2:IS and Soul Hackers must be ENGLISH'd!), finding elusive art books (preciousPandemoniumVol1precious) and bonus discs, and the occasional mildly related fan art (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/38387768).

...and I type a lot. Been told before. ^_^;;

>> So, uh... let's positive thinking?

Hooray for long typers and Kaneko worshippers! Welcome aboard! (A-Haaaa! A-board! ...Sorry. >.>)

Greetings abnormals and other Atlus-fans alike. I'm Nihilus, pleased to meet you all. *bows*

I found this place while I was looking for artwork of Persona 3 and found this great site. ^^

I have been in love with the Shin Megami Tensei as long as Shin Megami Tensei: Luciferi's Call (or Nocturne which is also called in the States) came to Europe and I do hope more is on it's way. Also, I own the Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga too which also quite nice but I prepher the first SMT game I brought. ^^

Oh well, I do hope I'll see you around the Board.

Hi there! I joined the board a loooong time ago and have just gotten around to posting (hay i r loser -___-) but yeah. I started with Persona way back in the day -- and played Persona 2: Eternal Punishment when it was brought over. Then after those I continued my loser streak and kind of stopped there. But all of then sudden, I have gotten back in the kick when I found Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner at Gamestop one day.

The next week I went crazy and got Digital Devil Saga, Digital Devil Saga 2 & Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne off of ebay. And I'll be playing all three of those once I finish DS. In other words, I'm very excited to be back into the fandom. ;D Also excited to be back at the board~

>> HO YEAH MOAR PPL W00T

Also: you'll be making up for all those MegaTen-less years, heh? *sepia flashback with emotional piano music*

Hey, everyone. I'm new here, but I go to enough forums to know the general etiqutte of them, so...^_^

Anyway, been a big MegaTen fan for years. I look foward to talking about it with all of you.

Thanks for joining, all of you. I know this place is slow, but I'm making a bit more an attempt to keep it cleaned up (Camanche! :rambo:) and garner some more discussion. I'm hoping to run a contest soon, with an actually very nice prize, so we'll see how that goes.

Thanks again!

Prize eh?....

What what? Yes? I've been cleaning up, really! Did I miss something? *cowers*

-Lifts a rug- Tramadol and Phentermine ads? Camanche! How long have these been under here?! We're cutting your allowance. ;D

Meep! Hiya everyone! I'm not really new, since I've been lurking around for a while, so I finally decided to register here XD I actually got interested in the SMT series through Demikids. Yes, you heard me, Demikids :P It's not that bad of a game, kind of that bridge between pokemon and SMT...except, ya know, pokemon doesn't have any succubus in it XD Then I played Nocturne, (still play it for fun, though everyone else in the house is sick of seeing me play it :P) the DDS series, and I still gotta get through Devil Summoner too, now I'm trying playing the online game.
I've been a fan of mythology, especially dragons, even before getting into the megaten series, so don't mind me if I start going into a dweeby mythology rant or something XD
o.O I think that's an adequate intro, a bit much, I hope there isn't a word limit or something on posts.
~ Jessicat   :3

Oh no, another Canadian.

WEEE-HOOOO! Where do you hail from, Jessicat?

Should I start complaining when Americans sign up, then? Heh heh. ;)

Hello people.

I go under the nick GEWALT (means violence in german). I am 21 years old and from The Netherlands. I am playing videogames since I am 6. Started with the NES and ATARI. Since 1997 I am hooked with RPG's (Japanese maker). My favorite series are Final Fantasy,Suikoden,Star Ocean. Since some weeks I got Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne , and I am hooked with the style and game. And looked for more info, and that is how I ended up here. :P

That's all!

Nice to meet you all.

Currently games I am playing:
- Final Fantasy IV Advance
- Star Ocean 3
- Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
- Persona

You forget...I pretty much am a Canadian. After all, in the U.S., I live in the "State of Hockey."

Oh, so you do live in Canada?

We do have a quasi holiday called Hockey Day Minnesota.

Hmmmm... hmmmm..... hockey IS pretty big here. Even I like it. :p

Least you guys get holidays. We're fighting for 'Flag Day' as a holiday in February, because we get so few. Well, the working, I mean... Guess I can't complain.

Good selection there. :dancev:

Thanks. I play Persona on my PSP (thank you sony for emulator).

I am currently bidding on Persona 2 (USA) on ebay. Hope to win it!

Have you played Star Ocean 2?

(Anyone ever play the first SO?)

I can never get the original SO patched properly. There's an English patch as well as a graphics compression patch... I can never get them going at the same time. If the graphics are fine, the game's in Japanese.

I did own SO2 for a while. Decent game, horribly translated. I sold it not too long ago on eBay for a decent amount.

I have owned SO2 twice -- sold it the first time. It could be decent, but as Tony said, the translation leaves a lot to be desired.

I finished Star Oean 2 , loved the game! I am waiting for a full translation of the first SO for the SNES.

I NEARLY finished SO2. Never beat the last boss. Still have it though. I agree that it would have been a good game in its time with better translation and better VA.

I liked the Battle System etc, that is why some characters were level 99 ;o

Hi, I'm Traci.  I'm one of the writer staff contributor people.  I don't normally sign up with my real name in forums, but I figured I ought to because that is what I am listed as and we wouldn't have to deal with the several million online aliases I do have.  That would be ridiculous "Ok so her real name is Traci, but her username is suicide_sal, but gogo is her nickname and her email is knoxcaliver...... riiiight."
And I would'nt like to cause anyone that drama of figuring it all out.
There is nothing of much consequence to say now, but if you have a burning desire to know anything else; I try to not make it difficult for people to contact me.

Welcome traci, where are you from? Favorite games?

i am from Ontario, Canada and my favourite games include  Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne, Stella Deus, Wild Arms and Castlevania series..... oh and DDR :updown:

First off, I want to welcome all the new members to the board! I'm glad there's more people joining so that'll equal to even more discussion, yay! :D

Second, yes...I've been a bad mod for not keeping up with the board.^^; (Thanks for helping out, Camanche!) Well, I recently moved from Japan back to the states so I'm sloooowy catching up with things! One of them being message boards(it's always hard to jump right back in). Anyway, hope to some of you new guys arounds~

Eriiiiko~! XD *knows you*

welcome back Argilla, I hope you enjoyed your stay in Japan.

Um.. not much to say. Been a regular at Atlus USA for 2 years going. Hai 2 Kakizaki, Camshaft and Saycke.

:rambo: <= lol wtf I thought this was a ninja turtle, it says rambo. D:

Welcome to board then, Arjuna.

Well, I've been around the site for sometime now, though I refused to join the board since I know I'm not going to be active. Unfortunately, I'm a hypocrite! 8D

Anyway, mostly play a variety of games, though I prefer RPGs overall. Love playing the FF + KH series, SMT series, and Metal Gear Solid games.

Hi im new in this forum but ive been playing Megaten games for like 8 years now...
So Hello everyone!!!

Hoi? Arjuna? What would I know you by on the Atlus MB?

Edit: Heh heh. Hi Al!

Wait, Sayck's here? Oh lord....

traci - Thank you! :)

To the new members, welcome to the board! Seems like people keep joining week by week! XD;

Well, I'm coming here too. (Mega Ten Horror from the Atlus MB)
But just chills, I'm totally serious when coming to this board.:rambo:

Heya Horror. Remember me? lol

Yeah, Cammy, you're Raquelle. xDDDD

Dammit, how did you guess?

It's a secret, a secret. XD
BTW, thank you for always been nice to me.:smug:

Just wanted to say hello!  I've been a big fan of the Persona series for a long time, as well as other RPG games.

Yay, more people! Welcome everyone (and Welcome back, Argilla! :D)!

We are growing! Soon, we will swarm all over! @_@;

*prepares for plague*

Hi, I'm a fan of the MegaTen series... Own Persona:Revelations and Persona2:Eternal Punishment, and am playing (slowly) through SMT1 for SFC (well, with the AG Translation Patch). Would like to play SMT:IF but hardly know any kana... I know there's a walkthru but it's not the same.

I like "cyberpunK" games, anime, and movies in general... big fan of Ghost In the Shell, The Matrix, etc. and got into programming partially to make tabeltop RPGs less tedious.

Hi. I'm currently studying in Japan so I'm buying as much megaten stuff as I can. I recently bought SMT: Nocturne Maniacs for 150$. It kinda hurts compared to the normal version that I bought for 5$, but it well worth it!

The psx Persona games and Soul Hacker are really hard to find. I hope I'll find them someday!

yoroshiku!

I guess I should re-introduce myself. I was fairly active here when the forum just began. That's pretty much it.

Welcome back Heat.
I was unaware you had ever left.

How do you mean?

I didn't really leave, rather, I was banned. I hadn't posted here in around 17 months.

Hello it's nice to meet all of you and to be here. I've always been interested in this series and I'm really looking forward to Persona 3.

Hello Aero,I think I've seen you before.

You have? I don't recall seeing you though...sorry bout that. And thanks for the welcoming me.

Please allow me to introduce myself...

Im a man of wealth and taste.

Ive been around for a long, long year...

Stole many a mans soul and faith.


Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name.

You want to make a riddle thread or just being enigmatic?

I think he's trying to be like, deep or poetic or something. Other members [one or two, I think] in the past have tried this, but all they really did was embarrass themselves.

^Members here or elsewhere?

I thought there was someone here who posted this stupid, ridiculous, introduction post, but I can't recall who it was, or if the post is still here or not. But he had this ridiculous "poem" where he was trying to sound bad ass or dark or something equally ridiculous. It doesn't seem to be in this thread, though, so I don't know. I'm pretty sure it was here, though, because I recall belittling him for it. This was before I was banned, so it was awhile ago.

I believe I joined shortly after you. I remember some people do that over at the Haven.

Nope, people its just a Rolling Stones song, Sympathy for the Devil.


People read way too much into things here.

& the real tragedy is they almost always seem to be wrong.

I'm not so good with the rock lyrics. But that's pretty bad even for me, because I like the Stones. I can hear it now...

Hello everyone, new to the forums but not the site nor series. I've been a fan since 1996, Revelations: Persona being my first and I've played nearly everything since. Look forward to meeting some new faces. By the way, I'm an affiliate of Digital Devil Database. My site is Biohaze and it pertains to the Biohazard (RE) franchise.

heya guys, not new to the series brought lucifers call a few years a go, just new to the site. look forward to helping/being helped by fellow fans. i also look forward to meeting new people, and new fans.

I'm only a mild RE/Biohazard fan and have only been able to skim through your site, but I really like the looks of it.

Same with me... I mean, I've played all of the games (well, the main ones), but then I go read stuff about the game and don't even remember any of it (story and character details lol).

Anyway, I thought the site was impressive.

Hello to all, I'm Jeimuzu :D
Decided I wanted to join a forum that liked Shin Megami Tensei games...as not alot of people in my city don't play it :(

I first got started on DD1, as it was in the pre-owned section of GAME.
Since then, have completed it, now on to DD2 which I bought a while ago but didn;t want to play until I completed its predecessor, lol.
And now I will be buying Devil Summoner later today! :D

And yes, I bought Lucifer's Call (Nocturne) recently too, I like it :D
Although I'm still a big Digital Devil fan, as I love the storyline.

In DD2 just now, I just fought Heat for the first time, now we're going to that EGG labratory.

Now to to check out the rest of the site and forums, later!

So then a lot of people do play it?

I used to be a huge Resident Evil fan, until they released Resident Evil 4. I found the storyline and all that the most interesting -- more interesting than playing the games, at least. Plus, zombies.

So if I'm understanding this correctly, your interest in the series died at 4? I kind of agree. I dig zombies, and the lack thereof, made me lose interest in 4.

Yeah, I hated 4. I hated pretty much everything about 4. It felt more like a Bad Dudes game for the 21st century than it did a Resident Evil.

RE4 was fucking awesome.

I was waiting for you to say that Sayck.

hellooo... i'm new to the forum!!! :) my name is moises... i'm from california....
i love soccer, music, and video games. my favorite video games series are Resident Evil, Mega Man, and Dragon Quest. i've never played any shin megami tensei games. Though i own digital devil saga 2, devil summoner, and nocturne, i even pre-ordered persona 3 thanks to your forum discussions...  ..... i have yet to open them.... i buy games for the fuck of it... but usually play them when wayyy later....

!!

Watch your mouth, young man! We're not running some kind of brothel here! This is a good neighborhood, let's keep it that way.

i didn't mean... to be rude or anything...

Welcome! Don't worry about Heat, you'll start to see what he can be like if you stick around. :p

I was being facetious.

I know. :p

Thank the gods! A new poster who's NOT a Guat!

What do you mean by Pedro?  Are you named after the first emperor of Brazil?

What the hell kind of username is "Grace Saunders" for a male?

Hi everyone, I'm decimus.
idunno what else to say? lol.
X)

What kind of username is 'Heat', anyway? Cool would have been so much.. . cooler.

Heya decimus, thanksfer the introduction and welcome to our little.. oh, nevermind.

:axeman:

Yeah, that was real clever.

I'm not so sure if it was supposed to be clever...

I was being facetious.

It didn't project it very well.

Not at all.

Nothing projects well over the internet.. usually. My point. :p

Heat just has terminal PMS despite the curious lack of any other feminine qualities.  Whatever happened to my penis post on the Haven, by the way?  I never checked back on that.

Anyway, Hay, look at me: a new board member.  Don't know how offen I'll be stopping by though to be honest.

And you're a twat, which is why the majority of the members on the Haven didn't like you.

Too bad.

Well, welcome to the boards, regardless. Don't worry, this place is slow sometimes anyway.

Hey, I'm an admin at another forum where traci goes to and she invited me here. So anything I should know?

Yes, there are things you should know. Emilio makes no sense, so ignore him, and Heat is gonna treat you like dirt, so ignore him too. That is all.

wonderfully put bundles :) (assuming of course you don't mind if I call you that.)

Thanks for the heads up then.

Even if Stack Bundles say that I make no sense, he likes or even loves to respond my threads.

^This is true.

Also, bundles is fine, traci. :razz:

Actually I was received more or less ambivalently and even did a few manga translations for Brand... and anyway it doesn't upset me much to be disliked by a few teenagers.  Banning michael and letting Rent be mod was a little much perhaps, so I left.  Maybe this community will be different, but seeing as this place is also completely trolled by you (and your hatred for all things that you don't directly relate to) I'm beginning to doubt it.  

Well... Back to ignoring you now. :silent:

Good tidings to thee.

I, for one, believe that the positive can outweigh the negative. Emilo makes enough sense for everyone to feel the need to 'correct' him. lol

It's not like he's writing in Chinese or something. :p

Welcome.

Good, Excellent!! (just like Dainzaiver of Evil Zone)

No one corrects him, we harass and pick on him.

Hopefully this community will be different, but I have to be honest, you contributed a lot of ridiculous crap (I couldn't stand your threads with YA/Buttqueen/whatever), and I am not looking forward to you here if you post in the same manner -- that idiotic junk is the reason I have no interest in that place. I sometimes have found Heat's act irritating in the past, but he has been far from trolling here.

Hello, I'm new here!  I'm a big fan of the Persona series and other Megaten titles...

I'm a gamer/game journalist on the side... I just finished playing through Persona 3 and man, that game was wonderful... I'll be posting up some vids/screen caps very soon!

I can't recall many threads I posted in with Audrey but I guess they left a lasting impression...?  Even then I just thought what she had to post was usually pretty funny, especially since everyone seemed to take her so seriously.  The crowd there though was/is generally a pretty antisocial bunch.  I just remember posting a lot of music and manga related stuff, maybe a few projects I was working on at the time, and getting in a lot of pointless arguments with some needlessly condescending characters.

Story of the internet.

Well, as always, if you're in a situation where you feel a post is unnecessarily mean/rude/stupid or if someone is just being completely ridiculous in general you can just let me know and I'll see how I can deal with it. You can just PM or report the post with that little icon. Getting frustrated and turning things into an even bigger argument rarely work out in my experience.

It's certainly not my intention for this place to be a source of aggravation for anyone, although I also can't make every last person on the planet happy either lol. Sometimes the balancing act will piss a couple people off no matter what you wind up doing.


Thanks for posting those videos too, good stuff. I'm hoping I actually get a review copy soon ... We'll see lol.

It would have been slightly funny if 100% of her posts weren't the same crap. It isn't so much that anyone took her seriously. The act just got old. Real old. More than once it also spilled into legit threads, especially on the old MH boards. If it makes you feel better, there are several others that were far more annoying than you were. I still do not understand Michael to this day.

Hey everyone. I'm very new to the Shin Megami Tensei series, found out about this game about a month ago. I've been playing games for a good part of my life, about 9 years, and am mostly into RPGs,Action, Platformer and Adventure games with the occasional FPS. I just got my hands on Nocturne and am loving it, especially the difficulty as I'm playing on Hard:P. I think my next step would be the DDS games, as I've heard those are pretty good, if I can find them. Sadly these games are hard to come by, and aren't very popular. I came to the forums to find people to share my growing enthusiasm for this game, and hope to have fun getting to know you all.

Welcome to the site!

Hello everyone. Well, what's there to say... I'm from Canada, I speak French(I even go to a French school) and I'm going into 11th grade. I like drama(acting -- but real life drama can be fun too if it doesn't involve you), writing, swimming, hanging out with friends, and poutine. If you don't know what the latter is, you're seriously missing out. And I'm a MegaTen importer, so I have a few Japanese MegaTen games... Innocent Sin is one of my prized possession. <_<

I'm mostly a lurker - I've been lurking this site for months. But I'll post in things that catch my interest.

Does poutine = pu-tang?  If it does then I guess you really would be missing out.  :yum:

I really hope that is a joke.

I'd imagine it is lol.

I never heard of poutine before, so I looked it up. It seems really weird... The gravy aspect turns me off big time. :corkysm17

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine

It's poontang, and the answer is no. It's some food from Quebec.

EDIT: Tony beat me to it...

Yeah, I was just joking around.  

I guess I won't be able to give up my day job for a career as a stand up comic just yet.

^lol. Sorry dude. You never know with some people.

Haha, but it's really good. The gravy melts the cheese, and it adds flavour. It's very bad for your health though, but nowadays who even cares? >_>

It's good to be here. I contributed highly to neogaf with SMT news and discussion. I hope to do so here.

Hey Himuro

Oh, Himuro. I know you. Funny how we sign up on the same board in the same day.

Stalker. D;

No you're the stalker.

Hi there. Big SMT/Persona fan. I'll try to stay active. :) Look forward to getting to know you all.

I can't keep up. Welcome.

Good tidings to thee.

We'll probably get more members once Persona 3 comes out.

Yeah, that's to be expected. I just joined early. Something to kill time till it does come out. Hahah.

Thanks for joining. Hopefully people will stick around. I've actually been surprised how many people have been signing up lately... although some have been spammers (lots of nude pics up here lately...).

The nude pics posted earlier were awesome, I want to go watch her sex tape now. What was her name?

Ah man, nude pics were posted? I miss everything. Was it pchii? ;P

Tony it's good to be here. I'll try to stick around. ;) You contributed to neogaf's SMT fanbase so I should contribute to your site!

Nude pictures...? o_O

I don't even wanna know, actually. xD

A few days ago, it did say: "Welcome to our newest member: AsianPornoVideos" :P

That totally sounds like a legit name to me. :devo: :devo: :devo: :devo:

Ello ello ello? I've always sort of lurked, finally decided to register.

Is that you, dead to rights?

Welcome to the DDbbs.

Nope, sorry? =/ I do post on GAF though and I know DtR through 1up.

Yeah I knew you were the guy at gaf.

Welcome to the forum.

Hello.  I'm yamiblade.  I've been viewing to forum for quite some time and decided to join.
My favorite game of the series is Persona 2: eternal punishment

HI! I've been a long time fan of this site and the wonderful Megaten games it covers for a while. So I decided to join the Megaten forum fray. Similar to Yamiblade above me my favorite of the series is Persona 2, with Nocturne being an incredibly close second.

I've known about this site for a long while. I think it was around when P3 got revealed back in 2006 that I first entered this site. so it's pretty cool I finally made an account here.

Error <3

Glad for you to be here!

Erm. Hello. I decided to join this site after a long time of lurking because I think it's awesome that there's a site full of people that actually know about the Megaten games. I haven't played the games for very long (about a year or so), but it's a series I enjoy playing because of it's originality.

I'm nightsavior (real name Ben). Ironically I'm posting an introduction after already conversing with you all in many posts but I figure it is good form.

I was hooked on MegaTen after playing Revelations Persona way back in the late 90's and since then have gotten DDS 1 and 2 for my PS-2. I wanted Nocturne but it became an obscure game  where I lived rather quickly.

I'm an artist that draws anime, comic book style characters, and even the left-hand dark "pervert" path of hentai. Guess I never saw sex as an "icky horrid sin".

I'm also into hiking,martial arts,reading,writing poetry,and practicing with a genuine samurai sword a friend gave me awhile back. I'm not going to say I'm a "Master" at any of these things but damn it I'm trying! :king:

I'm Xerit. Nice to meet you all.
I'm an SMT addict, which - obviously - is why I'm here. I caught onto the series after picking up my copy of Persona 2. While searching the net for related websites, I stumbled across information on the original series, and immediately began tracking Nocturne and DDS, which had been announced near that time.
In fact, Nocturne is the reason I bought my PS2. And in that order, for that matter.

Yo. Hope you have a nice time over here, it's been really great for me.

Hiya, i'm Hyuuga, nice to meet you all xDD. I've been into the MegaTen series since i've played the DDS series, which is an awesome game xDD.

Hello there. I'm Hibiki, and I seemed to have joined a couple weeks ago and never posted. I'll have to fix that!

I'm only recently getting interested in the Megaten series, thanks to Persona 3, but I've played a Megaten game before then. I only recently found out the Revalations: The Demon Slayer, was a Megaten game. ^_^;

Anywho, I have many other interests, and how to have fun on this forum.

Welcome Hibiki

Hello all! Im member of Russian MegaTen society. Your site and BBS is very good. Look at ours site KarmaSociety.net He only on Russian language, use google translater or soothing like thereof. Sorry, I bad speak on english :)

PS:Sorry if in the posts yo do not understand something, like i said, i don't know much english

Welcome to the forum! Enjoy your stay :)

Hello,
I'm Gerald.
 
Just saying hey - I'm new.

......hi gerald (?)

>> i think is a thread for the wellcomes

Hey Gerald.  I'm new too.

Let's have a party.

Hi everyone I'm new.....just thought I'd say hi. ^_^

Hey people, My names Mike im new too the whole forum thing, but i have been a fan of megaten since the PS1.  I would like to ask all and any who are interested, who would like to see a Hitoshura Vs Sephiroth battle and what do you think would be the overall sequence of battles or battle.  Im curious because its something ive thought about for a while now.  Please let me know what you think.

Welcome, both of you. And about the battle with Hitoshura and Sephiroth, it´s a game, a movie clip, drawings??

What? I have no idea what you're asking, but the Hitoshura > Sephiroth. Sephiroth was a ridiculously mediocre character from a ridiculously mediocre game, who, with that sword, was totally compensating for something.

I do not have any interest in seeing such a battle, because it's kind of pointless, and fanboy-ish.

Wow -nessssss

agree with heat, Final Fantasy VII must die
<< but is the only game of the FF that have a movie
wathever is a very bad idea put hitoshura vs sephirot
obviosly Hitoshura wins in 1 turn

Just stopping in to say Hi.

so...I just stopping to say...wellcome (?)

Hey, I've been lurking around the site for a few months now, and I finally decided to join the forums. I'm a fan of the SMT series and spin-offs, but I'm not very good and never get really far before I get dragged away onto another game =P I haven't played as many of the games as others, I'm sure. So far I've played SMT, SMT2, Devil Summoner: Raidou (ect ect ect), and Persona 3. A copy of Nocturne eludes me still, but I'll eventually get it along with DDS.

I also have an Imagine account, but I stopped playing for a while. I'm thinking of trying to join the DDDB Klan. If I don't get sucked into Xbox Live.

Other games I play: Metal Gear Series (my favorite game series), Final Fantasy (not one of those FFVII Fanatics though, my favorite is FFIV), Ace Combat 6 (haven't played the others yet), Gears of War, Counter-Strike, Knights of the Old Republic, pretty much any Star Wars game (used to play SWG before it got crappy), I'm a reformed WoW player, Golden Sun, Metroid, Half-Life, Quake, and Castlevania (especially the Sorrow series).

I have a few pet peeves, including Halo obsessors, myspace, and overly religious people (but I keep my mouth shut about them). I enjoy playing games, reading, playing Trumpet and French Horn, making noise on my guitar (because music on it eludes me about as well as SMT3), and writing. I hope to either become a writer or Air Force pilot after I graduate high school.

That was more extended than I hoped, sorry =P

Why not just be both. Write while you're shooting down commies. Or whatever the hell it is we hate these days.

Or write about how you shot down commies after you've retired. It's like getting your cake, and eating it too.

Btw, welcome.

He'd come off as more of a bad ass if he wrote while shooting down commies.

Yeah I guess he would.

Yo guys.
I've been into SMT for about 3 years.
First played SMT3:Nocturne; fell in love with it.
Everything about it.
Fusions
Turn-Based old school
Soundtrack
But most of all the Story

The story alone made me even more curious about SMT1 and 2.
So I played it on an emulator.
I don't know why, but changing the world from a law, neutral, and chaos
position has never sparked for me before. Still wondering what it is about Atlus that makes me want to play more of their games.

Just the other day I picked up Persona 3, linear and slow paced, but then again I play for the story anyway.

And that would end my intro.

Welcome!  I'm new here myself.  Sounds like you really got the SMT bug...same happened to me.

XD

Welcome to the forum!! Enjoy your stay :)

Hey, guys. I'm new to SMT games too. Only played Persona 3 so far, but I'm on a quest for P2:EP, Nocturne, and DDS.

Hey mates. I'm a huge fan SMT so far I have..Nocturne, P3, and Devil Summoner. I am looking for DDS 1&2 though.. =)

Hey Rockeranimefreak here! :) just wanted to say hi! and I really love Atlus games and look forward to Persona 3 Fes in April! (was gonna post a news thread but don't have permission to do that!)

Hi everyone!
I'm a great fan of SMT and all that's related to it!
I played:
- Shin Megami Tensei (thanks to Aeon Genesis)
- Shin Megami Tensei If....
- Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne - - Lucifer's Call
- Digital Devil Saga 1
- Digital Devil Saga 2
- Devil Summoner (begin...)
- SMT-DEVIL SUMMONER: RAIDOU KUZUNOHA VS. THE SOULLESS ARMY
- Persona
- Persona 2 IS
- Persona 2 EP

....and i'm going to play the rest!

I hope to know others like me!
Ah! i follow chaos path.... :)

I'm Yvl.  I found this site when my friend linked me to it regarding the Tsumi translation patch.  I see a few familliar faces here (Lycanthroat and Himuro specifically) so I may stay around.  Just need to catch up on the games to avoid spoilers... I'll mostly be in the off topic or persona forums until then.

Hello, I'm Tapio and for some months now I've been playing Megaten games. Well, I must tell you that I'm french so please excuse me if my english is far from being perfect.
As for the games I have played, I began with "Lucifer's Call" (which is also known as "Nocturne"), in fact it is the only Megami Tensei which has been translated into french. Besides I have played "Digital Devil Saga" and I just bought "Devil Summoner Raidou". I have also "Revelations" on Gameboy Color and the first 2 "Persona" on PS1 (but these are copies, they were not published in France...unfortunately)
To finish with I have Maken Shao on PS2 and I will soon receive the 3 Shin Megami on Super Famicom. Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, I like the Megami Tensei series!!

Ciao~!
Im Maya and new here. Ive only played Persona 2 so far but really Im hooked up on Megaten Series because they are a masterpiece!

Welcome all newcomers!

 If you like Nocturne, we have an RP going on. Click on my sig. :)

herro, my name is madonna and i am playing nocturne for the first time. i like video games like etrian odyssey and final fantasy 3 and puzzle games, too. i have a cat named hobbes and i like hello kitty and cheladas.

Welcome aboard! :rainbow:


note: Everyone gets +10 karma for first post. If anyone notices a posting member without +10 karma alert an admin.

I'll try to make +10 the default starting amount if possible.

Herro. :3

Hello Madonna!  I've heard so many good things about you, it's nice to finally meet you as well. 

Also, Hi to everyone else.  Some of you know me already, but for the rest I'm new here.  I hope to have found a nice new community here.   :smile:

Welcome aboard :rainbow:

Hopefully the forums will bounce back  :sweatdrop:

Finally man! Took so long. ;)

nice to meet you, too! i've heard lots of good things about you also! i am excited to be here and that i am playing nocturne cuz i love it.

Welcome all

Sorry Kaki.  Would have been here sooner, but last week was a bit crazy.

Madonna:  Don't believe the stuff Kaki says about me, it's all lies!   :wink:

Thanks to everyone for the welcome.  I hope to be around most of this week to try and get to know the board and you all a little better!

Welcome aboard, Olethros! We also hope you to stay a big while at D3  :wink:

Hello everyone.

I'm new to these boards, but not exactly new to MegaTen. I played all the games from the classic series, and most of the spin-offs.
I'm not from the US or any english speaking contry for that matter, so excuse me if I write something wrong from time to time.

Can't think of anything else to say right now, so I'll stop here. :smile:

Welcome to the boards and enjoy your stay, snow-oh :wink:

Ok, You've been officially introduced now  :biggrin:

Remember the +10 on Karma for his first post, that's how it is, right?  :rolleyes:

Beat you to it. We will do our best to get everyone  :rainbow:

I think only I can bestow +10. Moderators shouldn't try to 1pt at a time  :smug:

So Moderators can give Karma? How?

You should be able to see [raise][lower] buttons near the poster's karma indicator. You shouldn't do so without quoting to the precedents threads. Also moderators can only raise 1pt within a certain amount of time I think.

edited: Hmm, I don't actually see a privilege for editing karma in the moderator group... I'd assume you can, but if so, maybe only in the forums you moderate. If you can't, that is sort of a problem to look into, so let me know for sure.

Nope, I don't have those buttons :sick: The only "different" buttons I see on the forums I moderate, is the "Split Topic" button. Let me know if you can find something about it. :wink:

I might have to put you in the Global Moderator group then. Though I'm not sure if that is a generic group imported from the old forum or not. I will lock it down first, so it's not much more than the normal member group (save for karma and maybe some other odd stuff)

Ok  :rainbow:

Sorry for the double post, but just to let you know, that now I'm able to see the "[raise][lower]" buttons on the karma.

Yeah, I just took care of that for you :smokin:

PS: In the future the only rule about double posting is don't complain about it, and don't apologize for it :razz:

I'll keep that in mind. :smile:

Er....yo, I'm schumie. I was forcibly dragged into the SMT world by two friends, nuu and nyang, and found it pleasant enough to stay for a bit.

*english is forgotten long ago*
He-he, greetings to everyone *does it soungs right?*, I am Kurapica = )
I was dragged in megaten five or six years ago by persona series. Черт, я забыл английский Т_Т
As you can see I'm from russian MT fan club, which joined from the beginning (at least @official@). ааа это глупо звучит Т_Т

Well met короче Х) *I have a feeling that I'll be only reader*

Don't worry about it, as long as you enjoy your stay with us and share our passion for Megaten, it's fine! :biggrin: Welcome to the boards!

Also, welcome schumie!

Good day fellow Megatennists!

Long time lurker first time to really post something hope im welcome  :rolleyes:

Welcome Digital Apocalypse! Hope you enjoy your stay! I like your avatar! :tongue:

Thanks Lone Wolf!

I'm back!  Didja miss me?   :kidic_death:

Forums are looking good if a bit dead.  The whole Karma thing is a nice addition too...  Way to go, Michael!!

My eyes?? Your avataar has burned out my eyes! :dazed:


edited: About the stench of death... we still haven't worked out how to alert everyone back to the site. Every attempt at a newsletter is met with spam countermeasures. So it's just word of mouth for now afaik :redface:

I was going to post something about that.  I did receive an email telling me the boards were back up but the link provided was dead and still unaccessible from the main site.  This is the first time I've checked since then actually.

EDIT:
Hey now...  Is it really that bright?

Welcome, hope you have a great time here.

That was probably the beta opening email. Must've taken you a long time to read it if the link was dead. Everyone seemed to find their way to the beta board. It was at a temporary address. There should still be a page there though.

Bright? No it's, more like The Amazing Technicolor Track Suit :rainbow:

edited: chewed up by a dog... it took me a good while to sort out what the hell it was! :razz:

It struck me a while ago that Digital Devil Saga is like a Sentai-version of Megaten.  You definitely should check them out if you haven't already.  The imports are still less than 20$.

Hi, I'm new.  :enemykd-tomato:

Ahoy "new", Welcome aboard! :rainbow:

Do you mind directing me to the shuffleboard?

Every board's a shuffleboard. Just be careful you don't fall overboard :Nemo_death:

D:

You know Stan, your icon reminds me of a show I used to watch when I was a kid. Albeit an angrier version of the character in the show, it still reminds me of it. I can't remember the name though..

Anyway, welcome.

May or may not be Darryl.

Thanks-a-mundo for the welcome.

Ah, It was Doug from the old Nickelodeon cartoon.

http://www.geocities.com/cmarie016/doug01.jpg

Well, I'm new to this board... used to lurk on Megaten Haven a bit... fan of Persona and most "cyberpunk" stuff, believe the world is built on the back of a turtle (Discworld), you know, your average weirdo.

Good, welcome to the boards, bajan13k! We hope you have a good time hanging around with us. :smug:

Welcome Stan_Marino ( :birdo: ) and bajan13k!

Then which one forms the head? :rainbow:


:doh: Sorry, keep missing posts.

More like GATCHAMAN!

Then you meant Ninjatai! :ninja: ooo(the chick in the back is gonna slip a disk)

Sentai is just like a catchall term for "super fighting force"-series.   :wink:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentai

Well yeah, I was just kidding around :rolleyes:

I thought you were correcting me or something.  :sweatdrop:  I love me some Ninjatai though.

There's also a noticeable similarity between Heat's get-up and the costume your character wears in the Devil Buster mini-game in the "Old Testament" re-release of Megaten 2:
(http://hg101.classicgaming.gamespy.com/megaten/comparekyu1-2.png)
(http://www.digitaldevilsaga.co.uk/img/chars/03_char.jpg)

There's more than a few throwbacks and nods to the original Megaten in the DDS games.  It is Digital Devil Saga after all.

Nah, Megaten2 style always has been a mantle, goggles, and binoculars feel. Basically the desert wasteland esthetic.

The Junkyard is like an overcast and dreary wasteland, but the 'real world' is totally a desert wasteland where people can only live inside domes or underground.   

:blooper:

Hiyo! New here and all. Long time Megaten fan. Mostly a Persona fan.

Cute :zahn:

Welcome, CherryTonic!! I like your avatar! :5innocent2:

Haaaay, CherryTonic!  I believe we've already met.  :biggrin:

Sup. Place is almost as dead as MH, so I figured I'd join to liven things up.

I'm known as Sturmvogel in most places now, although I also sometimes still go by Isao Kronos. Been playing Megaten since about whenever I discovered the fan trans of SMT1.

Yeah! Isao Kronos, I remember now :smile: Welcome to the boards.

Thanks for being present... always happy to see new bodies on our doorstep :smokin:

If you hang around long enough your stench could attract the living :kidic_death:



Looks like the meta-keywords I setup yesterday might be having some effect :rolleyes:

PS: If you feel like following that link, we get payed well when you touch our ads :biggrin:


edited: Another fun one...

Uh...yo. 'Name's Phoenix Gamma, PG for short. Lurked the site for quite awhile, so I figured I'd join the forum.

Um...I'm not really sure what else to say. My interests are all sorts of art (I'm working on my degree in Art and Graphic Design), video games, and music. I realize that's about as bland of a bio as I can get, so I guess I'll just add that I'm pretty new to the SMT series; I've watched my roommates play some of the older games, but I didn't start playing myself until Persona 3, so I'm very much an SMT virgin. If you've got recommendations for where to start or what to play, go ahead and name them, because I totally want to be more than "another Persona guy".

I've got a deviantart that I sometimes update. I recently uploaded an entry for Games Radar's Persona 4 contest, so please check that out too! I placed second! :D I do lots of different stuff, so please take a look!
http://pheonixgamma.deviantart.com/

I guess that's about it. I hope this introduction wasn't too long!  :sweatdrop:

Always cool to have another comicker (word?) on board. Your comics are well done I'd say :rainbow:

When DevilRy stops brooding you might be in good company :nesspeace:

Welcome to D3 Phoenix Gamma, I hope you can stay with us a big while! You can always browse the pages of Digital Devil Database to know a little bit more of every game. :biggrin:

Ahoy!

You might've missed me the last week :sweatdrop:

Thing is we've been completely without electricity here for a week now :ninja:

Even the university and public libraries have been closed up after a very wet freeze turned this area into a shattered hellscape. Virtually every limb has been stripped off every tree. It's not quite Katrina but the situation was declared a federal disaster emergency. A tree limb came thru the ceiling of my living quarters actually, and my home on the range probably won't have power for weeks. I'll be sleeping in town in the meantime, but as you can guess my internet opportunities might prove intermittent for a while.

I've spent most of my free-time (other than generally behaving like a neanderthal) reacquainting myself with Elric of Melnibone and studying a particularly functional Japanese grammar book (amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Japanese-Verbs-Essentials-Grammar-Practical/dp/007143514X)) in true nerd fashion.

Hello!!

I think I'm in the right thread...

Well, I'll introduce:

I'm 15 years old, and my name is Victoria (yes, I'm a girl XD) but here you can call me rokuso3. I love Shin Megami Tensei series, overcoat Nocturne and Persona 2 - Innocent Sin.

I'm Spanish so maybe you think that this post is really strange, so I apologize in advance XD

Glad to meet you all!

^Bienvenida a los foros Victoria!!  :biggrin:

I hope you enjoy your stay!  :smile:

I just hope you stay :rolleyes:

Btw, if you ever feel like helping us translate pages into Spanish, please don't hesitate to give it a go :rainbow:

The website in Spanish in case you missed it (http://www.digitaldevildb.com/es/)

LOL, yes, I missed it (I was looking the english version the whole time xD, but one day I thought: "why the spanish flag is here?" now I understand XDDD)

I wouldn't mind help translating, but isn't Emilio Morales already doing it?

Well translating is a ton of work, and there are soooooooo many pages... so it would be just wrong to expect Emilio to do everything?! Besides Emilio does a lot of other stuff already too. No pressure of course, but the site is setup for as man translators as possible to cooperate one thing at a time :rainbow:

PS: Eventually the flags will do something... but I haven't done that something yet :sweatdrop:

Alsoooo, I know it's really easy to miss the Espanol link at the top. But if there were more languages, especially with non-romantic alphabets the language selection would be easier to see. We're just hoping we can find more translators to help out with other languages.

Hello all respectable peoples.

I am Bluer, the presently working dictator administrator of the Megami Tensei Wiki sponsored by Wikia.  :biggrin:

Seeing that the wiki's affiliated by the founder icysugarspike months ago, I thought I'd do the snobbish elitist good thing by introducing myself as well.... _{please don't hurt me...}

Despite being aware that another much more famous, popular Megatenwiki exists, I've decided to help the founder establish the wiki. I've been working on wikis for three years now so I do have my share of experiences.

Megaten-wise, my first one was Nocturne, but I never did play it past the hospital. I bought Avatar Tuners 1 & 2, and even the two Raidou Kuzunoha, but the only MegaTen series I finished were Persona 3 and 4. Hah hah..

Well, happy to hear from you guys  :razz:

Thanks for showing up, and glad to see someone else using my mood/disposition/whatever indicator system :rainbow:


PS: Thanks for resuscitating this thread :wink:

You're welcome. Here's for a closer affiliation and whatnot!  :5innocent2:

I see that you also play IMAGINE. I haven't tried that, plus I'm not sure my one year and a half laptop with Nvidia GeForceGo 6150 can handle it. hah hah.  :crying:

Welcome to the sunken ship :grinani:

I wear glasses too :smokin:

If this is a sunken ship, then the megaten wikia is a ghost town.

.............. yyyyyeeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhh  :sweatdrop:

In all seriousness, I'd hazard to guess your wiki has at least 100x more content going up than we do here atm :rainbow:

We have a bit of a content problem :smokin:
