*edit* okay, some image-editing software required to make this look nice, but:

^Yeah... I guess that's as good as it gets. The blur to the side does seem a little strange... I'm kind of wondering why it's there. Every scanner I've ever had would not blur something like that. Even if I snapped a photo with a digital camera 
I think it's as important as anything to get a nice version of this graphic out on the internet 
Would look nice on the website, somehow somewhere...

PS: Speaking of guides, I have two of the best guidebooks ever for Shin Megami Tensei and Kyuuyaku, both in the same fashion. I'm not really sure what to call them, but they're so nice I'd collect everyone of these ever made for a Megaten game. I've no doubt these are the finest ever produced. I should know because I have like 3 for SMT2 that are all such crap combined they don't amount to a fraction of the value of these guides.
All I can say is they're part of a series. They have colourful dust jackets that appear identical to the game boxarts, but the paperback binding is skyblue with white print on it. I'm pretty sure they're part of an official Super Famicom series that might've carried over from/to other consoles (maybe just Nintendo)

Yeah but yeah, every scanner I have would not be blurred, it would just scan the folded page the way it is, unless there is some odd kind of material the pages are made out of... even if you put like an apple on the scanner it should look fine/mostly in focus. Just unfortunate the way it blurs so. I could probably doctor it after making the image much smaller. If you're ever in a kinkos or somewhere you could try a different scanner.
I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass, it's just a cool (really iconic) illustration that would be nice to have in focus

These are of these are really interesting. It's cool to see characters not done by Kazuma Kaneko. Any idea who the artist is btw? I'm assuming it's Atlus commissioned/owned artwork.
The smaller one is definitely of worse quality. But it could definitely help for doctoring the end of the sword / hopefully producing an image of some resolution that doesn't appear shopped.
I'm thinking about maybe using it as an avatar around the site, like on the games page. It's cooler, and the megamitensei.wikia wiki is using the same graphic we're using, so I'd rather have the cooler one maybe and then maybe use the old bros. avatar on the wiki pages to match the wikia logo.
PS: There's a good chance in an avatar situation the tip of the sword would get cutout anyway.
PPS: Since you seem to be knowledgeable of the Devil Children based games, do you think you could maybe find time to put something on our DC page (http://www.digitaldevildb.com/games/devil-children-titles/)
Just something basic like (http://www.digitaldevildb.com/games/persona-titles/)
We could also use a DC avatar.... but let's not let this thread get offtopic

Well rather than hunting down the original illustrations thread hilighting the Demi-Pascal illustration, I thought I'd post this here:
http://zoome.jp/kyitrin/diary/4
Yep, the Mega-CD actually has a Majuu Pascal, though it's not quite like the illustration (could be the same graphic as Kerberos -- but the name is clearly Pascal)
I also read there is a special version of Baal in this one based on the MT2 design. The name is spelled slightly differently as well in MT1/2; バアル instead of バール I think.
Also worth pointing out the sprite is very different, so I'm curious to know if all the sprites were redone for this version, because if so this goes from my would love to have list, to most wanted list.... (even though I'm not personally a fan of SMT)
^Just on a lark, does anyone have this rom? I'd put it on the site somewhere if we can track it down.
PS: Before I close this page/reboot I will screenshot the relevant frame if I can.

Now that's amazing 
This website is really in a bad place. We need to get a section like this up here. We can do it technically now, but legally I think we need an indirect way to go about...
And I worked so hard to track down a copy of Giten PC88! 
PS: Screenshots.

Whoa, that looks awesome. Wonder why they made him look different though o.O Without the mane and horns he looks like the concept art though XD
And wow, I totally didn't notice that section in your forum Bores ^^; I think I need to kick google translate for that though XD

^Well, I'm sure Kerberos shares the same graphic. Same skillset/stats clearly. I'm guessing the story Kerberos you meet around Tokyo Destiny Land is also named Pascal. I never really liked the idea that Pascal is Kerberos. I prefer to think Kerberos is summoned by sacrificing Pascal (in turn imparting special loyalty to Kerberos) ....but then I really don't like SMT. Heresy I say.
Edited: But I dunno. He does have more of a dog tail instead of Kereberos' rat tail thing. My favorite Kerberos is the Kyuuyaku one (ultra rare concept art is in the forum banner)
