Contuining from last thread. Why are hackers such little bitches?

>fantranslators acting like they should be paid employee wages, by fans

you expect them to work for free?

Give me a Life Stone, you piece of shit.

I know they are. But their alignments are so irrelevant to mainline standards that its generous to treat them as a similar thing. You never get the idea that she would want a full law world. And dahn, especially by the end would hardly look like he was advocating full chaos. We don't sit around calling gaston and toki law and chaos reps either. Even though they at least are implied to lean more that way in a tangible way, even if by the end in a mainly neutral paradigm.

Massacre is the correct path.

Droping a project because people are hyped for it is fucking silly. Especially if its been 3 years.

>intentionally delay releases
Yakuza project assistant here, can confirm, we had a guy who signed up as translator for us but didn't actually do any work AT ALL for months, constantly coming up with new excuses.
Eventually I faced him straight up and asked what's going on and why he isn't translating anything yet.
He literally said he has been deliberately not doing anything and working on other projects all this time because we had the audacity to ask him to translate stuff for us and keep "pestering" him about it once every few weeks, as such it was his "revenge" on us.
True story.

Just tell Daddy Atlus some niggers are trying to make money with their games

top kek, m8. It literally has no benefits as an actual route. A world of autism / teenage rebellion would be cancer from the beginning. Also, you reset all tech, so have fun living naked in caves for a few ten thousand years.

And I hate how they defend it.

Oh and in case you want to know the name of the """translator""" faggot in question:
romhacking.net/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=20982

...

I don't wanan keep on bumping with pictures from discord but one of the mods said

>Megaten games are also very text heavy and complex to hack.
SMT If is taking as long as it is largely due to bugs.

This ist true though? i thought Gideon was being a fag because of translation errors or w.e
also gideon realased SMT 1 where you the game gets buggy in one ending. Locking you out of the law ending. So Why is he being a fag about that now

Looks like the quest is going well

>blue eyes
>not silver eyes.

There is no bigger lying sack of shit than Gideon, I hope you realize that solely based on how fucking buggy his SMT1 and SMT2 were and how they literally took a spic from /smtg/ called Orden to make his own unofficial patches for them despite not even knowing anything about romhacking and learning how to do it in like a span of a month or two.
Let that fucking sink in.

No, I know Gideon is a fucking sack of shit for many reasons. Thats why I am shocked that the mod defended him. Its sick. Even TOM defended him why are all translators so nice to each other when one of them is a massive faggot?

youtube.com/watch?v=41bK8qiKXn8

Orden was the hero /smtg/ needed

Serious question, do you guys look up fusion information or just experiment and use whatever?

I don't play rpgs to constantly look up guides like an autist. I do whatever.

The theme of Raidou 2 is the future. Do you look for the future for yourself? Thats a Chaos philosophy (Hence Dhan is Chaos rep since he wants Akane to have a future of her own). Do you look for a future where everyone benefits at the expense of your own? Thats law (Hence Akane is a law rep since she looks for the well being of the Tsukigata village over her own). Its similar how in SJ where Mitras asks you who do you look out for: yourself (Chaos) or your crewmates (Law).

Also the game plays with Raidou´s role in the game: wether you are Raidou Kuzunoha, loyal agent of the Yatagarasu (Which given Raidou 1 makes Kuzunoha´s lawful thanks to Raidou 40 revelation), or [insert your name here], someone that works for himself.

I like it because not all is around wether you give the middle finger to God or suck his dick.

Experiment first, then look up with the remainder demon 10 levels behind the party. Of course, from 4 onwards this isn't really necessary.

Because it's a circlejerk where the "old guard" namely Gideon and his pals hold everyone else by the balls due to the fact they've got their fingers in most if not all retro projects and thus control them to a large extent, they've got the necessary tools, they can cockblock you and generally be complete dickwads.
Note how none of them are relevant when it comes to romhacking MODERN games because they not only lack skills to do so but because they couldn't control those like they can with the old games that new generations don't care about.
They're also almost exclusively from Commiefornia, so their mentality is just natural state of mind for that state.
It's all fucked basically and you can't do much about it short of getting new team of fresh blood to learn everything and do it from scratch without relying on the old guard fucks that can cut you off the second you even look at them badly.

Also I'd like to draw everyone's attention to the fact that Gideon is a self proclaimed genius programmer, yet when you look him up you'll realize he can't hold a stable job as a programmer and those he gets are literal code monkey jobs.
That's because he is in fact an incompetent attentionwhore with personality so volatile that nobody with even an ounce of self respect would want to work with him.

I just experiment

Who /law/ in here?

Anyways should I ask Esperknight what is up as well? Odd that Frequency_Modulation said that he can't get a hold of him but he is rather active on twitter. Don't wanna stir up bad blood so I might just drop it. Am not trying to attention whore, just want to know what is up with all these translations and thought I might as well let you guys in the know.

I always feel like a retard when I fuse, because I just fuse whatever

Because gideon "claimed" them already despite doing jack shit

Everyone who isn't filth.

Raidou 2 was never retarded mainline Law and Chaos. They were always meant to be softer just like every non-mainline game is concerning LNC.

Akane had accepted a world of Law out of despair and a desire to not do anything herself. She realized in the end she need to be strong herself and lead her people by bringing change to a town and its suffocating twisted order.

Dahn found his place helping the Chaosfag bug people who dont rape qomen find a place to call home. Retarded chaos was never a solution ingame and Chaos Raidou very much does subscribe to mindless rape. Hes all for being a dick but society falling into madness isnot his objective.

And Neutral is Chaos but with Raidou being the Neutral Planet from Futurama.

I don't know, in some cases I feel like some shit was necessary. Like for example, I would never have known you can get luster candy as early as eridanus in SJ from vivann's source, that helped me a ton with ouroboros.

I know. But my point is that those are alignments in a sense, but so different from mainline that its not even really the same discussion.

Ask Esper because I guarantee you that DebiSama is just being full of shit.

Literally the only "gameplay" in turn-based games is the strategy and effort of finding things out yourself. If you are going to just look them up, just admit you're a pussy and watch a lets play. I bet you also think it counts as "you" beating super bosses to follow a guide for every single turn.

fuck yourself Merkabah

If only Orden were alive

Amatsu-mikaboshi even says Chaos Raidou only helps the Yatagarasu because their interests align. The moment they dont he'll turn on them.

And in fact one point has him actually opposing Dahn being the Chaos answer whereas the Law one is to want Dahn to su
Cceed.

Does he have a reddit or something he actively checks? Trying to talk to these translators via twitter is annoying with the cap.

What ever happend to him.

Fair point but I guess we don't have to look at the system in Raidou as being the same system as mainline, just a variation.

I think in general it's how much different they are from what the series has made us come to expect. Dahn is a phenomenal chaos rep because of how much he goes against what SMT displays as chaos. He starts out as what seems like a typical chaosfag but to find out his only goal is to save his sister, who is suppose to be the law representative and a person he opposes, from basically being raped makes him have actual depth and stand out.

Well get used to it because people like to think mainline Chaos = Spinoff Chaos and if they dont align its Neutral. Just look at that autist Bunkerman.

Spinoffs are given freeer range to express their ideals without going "Hurr mindless drone" or "Eating babies is okay cause they are weak!"

>hates turn based combat
>likes SMT
I hate faggots like this who are "fans" but will constantly shit on elements important to a series.

>romhacking.net/translations/2287/

what the shit? Why didt any one tell me the original game that started it ALL has been translated?

MT and KMT have been done for a while

I know KMT is done since its in the starter guide and the tips n tricks guide but its news to me that MT is done as well.

Both have been done for some time now. Some people are still demanding a MTII translation as the soundtrack in the KMT version is kind of shit even if everything else is better.

Wow I'd have thought she was going to be way higher.

>samael, peallaidh, and girimekhala that high
didn't expect that

all the others are famous for at least something but what did these chucklefucks ever do? samael I could maybe see thanks to P5 (i doubt anyone remembered him in nocturne) and girimekhala cuz he's usually people's first repel phys demon but then peallaidh?

We can agree smtiv- a is best game right?

Do we have the script for Majin Tensie 1 and or 2? Found some guy on twitter who is open to taking requests

...

>sameal
Pretty famous late game demon at this point.
>grimekhala
Well known from the battle in nocturne and being one of demifiend's demons in his DDS battle. Why do you think it was chosen as a boss in synchronicity prolouge.

Not syre on pelliah but I like him.

No and never was.

Strange Journey is the defenitive SMT game.

You know that what demons are popular isn't just whether they have major plot roles right? Its not like bondage angel was ever a character.

You mean DEEP strange journey. The original is already a smouldering crater.

>it's for the community
>no questions from the community allowed
>ready when it's ready
Some translators are such shitheads. I bet these guys would charge $3k to translate the forced laughter scene from FFX.

Best mainline endings, go

SMT1: Neutral
SMT2: Law, by a fucking mile
SMT3: TDE because that's the only ending where you actually see Lucifer's true form even if the neutral one is the most rational one to pick
SJ: Neutral
SMT4: Neutral (all endings are shit, though)
SMT4A: Massacre
DSJ: All Deep endings are cool, to be honest

strange journey is bland though.

...

SMTI: they are all decent
SMTII: Law
Nocturne: TDE
SJ: law
IV: law
IVA: all endings are ass.
DSJ: law+

SMT1: Neutral
SMT2: Chaos or Neutral. I hear Aeon Genesis shilled Chaos hard, so probably Neutral.
SMT3: Neutral, Musabi, or TDE.
SJ: Neutral.
SMT4: Neutral.
SMT4:A: Bonds.
DSJ: Deep Law, normal Neutral, or Deep Neutral.

>musubi

Is this meant to be a shitpost list?

Yearly Game Jam participant and software dev here. For every large scale project I've ever made, there has been some sort of blog to accompany it.
I couldn't imagine not writing updates for myself and my team, let alone for the people following along with us including bosses.
It's pure laziness and bad practice. Delaying a release to spite your fellow fans is actually disgusting to me.

Considering he put bonds I'm guessing yes

Eh. DSJ barely fixes any of the flaws of the original and things like the new art and all the baby mode shit makes it more of a personal thing on which version is peferrable.
It's probably the most unique of the mainline being unlike any other in terms of setting or story. What are you talking about? What SMT, or dungeon crawler in general, has a mall or garbage dump as a dungeon?

One of the major issues of the original is that the story felt more like just stuff happening. It was information more than a story. A lot of the additions fix that, such as character portraits. Sure, the portraits are ass, but you can't win them all.

>SMT2: Chaos or Neutral.
Oh, c'mon man, I'm a proud Neutralfag and SMT2 is literally the only Megaten game where picking the Law path is the best choice to take.

Not only the best choice, but the quintessential choice for understanding the series. Its not a coincidence that II is a law themed game, and nocturne is a chaos themed game, and the best ending in II is law, and the best ending in nocturne is chaos.

>50
I'm happy with this.

SMTI: Neutral
SMTII: Chaos if Gideon wasn't a fag but since he is and translated it wrong then neutral.
SMTIII: TDE, even as a neutralfag it seems better then just going to normal like there's no problems at all, like neutral. Musubi is the best of the reasons though.
SJ: Neutral
IV: Neutral
IV:A: I genuinely hate both routes but I guess anarchy if I truly had to choose. As much as being an edgelord is shitty, like I said earlier, going back to "everything is fine (:" is shitty.

Proud neutralfag, I just hate how SMT thinks neutral is "muh humanity is special" when all I want to do is tell demons and angels tp both fuck off.

SMTIV had solid game mechanics, good characters, but a bad story.

SMT1: It doesn't really matter since no ending really shows the results of your actions and most of them supposedly end up okay
SMT2: Law, simply because the planet is dying and there's nothing you can really do to help it except pull the plug
Nocturne: TDE mostly due to content but also because the creation system is fucked
SJ: Neutral, if only because the other two are fucking dumb
SMT4: I'd have to go with chaos, because fuck mikado in all honestly. neutral doesn't seem like it'd be peaceful long term and law has no tech
SMT4A: Massacre, but only when nanashi makes bonds decisions.
DSJ: All new endings are pretty good but I'd go with chaos+

Stop calling massacre anarchy. Anarchy refers to lucifer, not dagda.

What? Story was one of the things SJ really nailed. Flaws are really more due to the hardware like the shitty sound and draw distance.

As a SJfag it makes me upset they "remade" it on the fucking 3ds, a system barely more powerful then what it originally was. Not like Atlus meant for this to be actually special, just a quick rerelease for the 25th anniversary and they have nothing else to release.

>SMT4A: Massacre, but only when nanashi makes bonds decisions.

Making bonds decisions doesn't somehow mean that the plan on massacre isn't still what it is. The plan is based on autism. Doing it anyways despite being slightly nicer only makes you a bigger asshole.

>DSJ: All new endings are pretty good but I'd go with chaos+

Living in a forest like savages isn't good just because there aren't constant genocides.

>not wanting to always be naked and live in a forest

You aren't naked though. For some reason you still have your demonicas.

>making bonds decisions doesn't mean massacre isn't massacre
No, but I'd like to think so. Nanashi being a complete and utter asshole to everyone makes sense only in the fact that 4A's universe's humans are weak and that it needs to be destroyed thanks to demons. But if Nanashi is a huge asshole I'd like to think he just turns into another YHVH. Rather, a benevolent Nanashi that understands why the 4A universe needs to be destroyed in place of a better one even if it meant sacrificing friends and allies would make for a kino ending

>living in a forest like savages isn't good
Like savages? Just because people are going back to being one with nature doesn't imply living like a savage, user, it just means peace and freedom.

I'm not sure what you think savage means, but destroying all tech to go back to prehistoric living is more or less the definition. Its weird. Chaos+ is more of a weird native american ending than anything now that the chaotic ideology is downplayed.

where's all the good tekken porn
I really need me some kuma if you catch my catfish ;)

Ho?

fug, I shitposted in the wrong general
though my request still stands

SMT1: Neutral, since it's canon anyway. Not that any of the endings are all that great.
SMT2: Every option kind of sucks. Chaos is really only good if you don't think about the ramifications of it too much. Law has you killing everyone off. Neutral doesn't do much to fix any of the world's issues. I guess I'd pick Chaos, but that's only really because it's the least bad choice.
SMTIII: True Demon Ending, easily.
SMTIV: Neutral, I guess? They really like to shill Neutral in this one, though.
SMTIVA: Both endings suck. You're either pretending everything's okay or being a selfish asshole (because let's be honest: with the choices they give you, Massacre Nanashi would be anything BUT benevolent)
DSJ: Pretty much any endings that aren't either the original law or chaos ones are pretty decent. Deep Law and Deep Chaos still have some of the problems that come with their respective endings, but they're at least not AS batshit this time around

When I think of savagery, I think of ferocity, anger, violence, destruction, actually what chaos usually means. I think you're looking for the word primitive, user.

>weird native american
I suppose. That is what Mem Aleph intended to begin with, anyway.

Feel free to go irritate him on Discord

cj_iwakura#6010

Would a complete script of Majin Tensei 1 or 2 be good? So that way some one else can use it for their rom hack?

An english script or japanese? If an english one existed, I'd just read it outright.

>Law has you killing everyone off

At that point the only people around who aren't in Eden are mutants praying for death.

native american life wasn't so bad.
