There is the chance that with the info the Red Sprite crew obtain, humanity will change its Shin Megami Tensei: Official Artworks IV.

Shin Megami Tensei IV: Official Artworks by Atlus It is part of the Shin Megami Tensei series, the central series of the Megami Tensei franchise, though no direct story connection exists to previous entries. It was released digitally in Europe in October The gameplay is reminiscent of previous Shin Megami Tensei games, carrying over the turn-based Press Turn battle system, where players and enemies fight and exploit weaknesses, allowing either side to gain additional turns or lose them. The story focuses on Flynn, a samurai who protects the medieval Kingdom of Mikado from attacks by hostile demons. When a mysterious Black Samurai begins transforming the population into demons, Flynn and three companions are sent to capture her. The pursuit of the Black Samurai drags Flynn and his comrades into a startling revelation and a power struggle between angelic and demonic forces. Development began after the completion of Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journeywith the team deciding to make a fourth numbered entry in the series based on fan requests. The team intended to evoke the style and feeling of the original Shin Megami Tensei. The main characters and some demons were designed by Masayuki Doi, previously known for his work on the Trauma Center series, changing from series veteran Kazuma KanekoShin Megami Tensei: Official Artworks IV series demon artwork still featured alongside a host of guest artists Demon designs. It debuted to strong sales in Japan and was one of the better-selling games of the year. Reception of the game has been generally positive in both Japan and the west. Navigation takes place both in the third-person perspective with 3D-rendered environments and a 2D overhead overworld map. Some quests relate to the main story and are mandatory, while other quests are optional. Nintendo Play Coins can be used in place of macca. Repeatedly dying unlocks an easy mode: in this mode, the player can flee from battle if they choose. Enemies wander the environments Flynn explores. A battle starts when Flynn strikes an Shin Megami Tensei: Official Artworks IV granting Shin Megami Tensei: Official Artworks IV player an advantagean enemy runs into Flynn from the side or behind granting the advantage to the enemyor when they run into each other head- on. In battle, the player controls Flynn and three demons, with one AI-controlled human support character. The system revolves around exploiting physical or elemental weaknesses: if a character strikes another character's weak point or deals a critical hit, the party gains an extra turn, while if the attack is absorbed or blocked, they lose their turn. Other systems continuing from previous entries in the series are Demon Recruitment and Demon Fusion. To recruit demons, the player talks with a demon instead of fighting them, and must negotiate for their services: these negotiations can involve flattery, bribery, or threats. Up to demons are available for recruitment. The demon's fusion history is recorded for players to look over during the later stages of the game. As Flynn levels up, new fusions Shin Megami Tensei: Official Artworks IV available. Shin Megami Tensei IV takes place in a world separate from the rest Shin Megami Tensei: Official Artworks IV the Shin Megami Tensei games, even though recurring demons and abilities are present. Mikado is built on the dome's surface. After the dome is created, only twenty years pass in Tokyo while over a thousand years pass in the Kingdom of Mikado. Remnants of Tokyo's technology, studied by the Mikado church as "mystic relics", remain scattered throughout the Shin Megami Tensei: Official Artworks IV. Players control a Samurai who is the reincarnation of Tokyo's savior.

  • A Survey of Japanese Video Game Localization Methods and Challenges
    “Eat Your Hamburgers, Apollo”: A Survey of Japanese Video Game Localization Methods and Challenges By Derek Heemsbergen During the process of video game “localization,” text and audiovisual material is translated and recontextualized for a foreign audience. This article analyzes the localization process, beginning with a brief history of the video game and its current position in the global digital entertainment indus- try, before moving on to a discussion of the overarching idea behind localization. The various textual typologies (or text styles/genres) of video games are explored, followed by an exploration of several approaches to the localization process, including literal translation, “transcreation,” and “blending,” among other elements. The article then narrows its focus with a discussion of challenges that are specific to Japanese-to-English localization, including difficulties with cultural contexts, acceptability contexts, and orthographical character limits in game code. It concludes with a brief discussion of the best practices for game localization moving forward. Beginning with the 1972 debut of the first home video game console,1 computer games have become a cornerstone of the global digital entertainment industry. Thanks to advancements in online technology and the ubiquity of smartphones, video games are enjoyed by more than 1.2 billion people worldwide — 17 percent of the world’s population.2 Shattered is the once-popular notion that games are nothing more than a series of bits and beeps held together by a few lines of code. More people are gaming than ever, and games themselves have expanded to encompass a wide variety of genres, styles, and experiences. Modern game development is a progressively extravagant venture; so-called “AAA” game studios have production budgets that rival major film studios, the most expensive to date hovering around $250 million including marketing costs.3 The global game industry 4 was projected to reach $70 billion in revenue by 2015.

  • The Compelling Act of Creature Collection in Pokémon, Ni No Kuni, Shin Megami Tensei, and World of Warcraft
    Loading… The Journal of the Canadian Game Studies Association Vol 10(16): 53-74 http://loading.gamestudies.ca Gotta Catch Em' All: The Compelling Act of Creature Collection in Pokémon, Ni No Kuni, Shin Megami Tensei, and World of Warcraft Sonja C Sapach University of Alberta [email protected] Abstract Since the release of the first Pokémon video game(s) in 1996, the need to "catch 'em all" has captivated players around the world. While the collection of objects, coins, experience, and points has played a significant role in many main stream video games over the years, Pokémon took the concept to a whole new level by enticing players to gather a massive collection of "pocket monsters", each with their own unique abilities and aesthetics. This paper attempts to answer what makes this form of collection so compelling through an investigation of four different games where the collection of trainable creatures, used to do battle on behalf of the player's main character, plays a central role: Pokémon X/Y (2013), Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch (2010), Shin Megami Tensei IV (2013), and World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria (2012). Four common themes surrounding creature collection are identified: Immortality, exploration, organization, and specialized knowledge. These themes are uncovered through a close reading of the four above mentioned games through the theoretical lenses of Azuma’s (2009) “Database Animals”, Greenberg et al’s (1986) Terror Management Theory, and McIntosh & Schmeichel’s (2004) social psychological perspective on collectors and collecting. The paper concludes with a discussion of McIntosh & Schmeichel’s (2004) eight steps of the collection process, and argues that the medium of the video game allows for the elimination of half of those steps, partially explaining the popularity of creature collection video games in our postmodern world.

  • Shin Megami Tensei – Part 2 15 Letters & Issue Note Before I Get Started with the Letters, I Do Need to Make a Little Apology for the Delay in This Issue
    Issue 6 - July 2015 Jose Sanchez was born and raised in Miami, Florida on March 10,1968,where he still lives today with his wife Aliana. At the age of six, he was introduced to fingerpainting. By first grade, he had picked up his first pencil, but it was not until the summer of 1977 when Star Wars hit the movie screens across America, that his imaginative spark was truly ignited! Like so many other people that were influenced by the cult phenomenon, he was too. So much so, that this led him to seriously explore and develop his talent for creating art further. As time has gone by and he has honed his skills, he has been notably influenced by the works of Science Fiction and Fantasy artists such as: Stephen Youll, Donato Giancola, Chris Moore, Tim White, Jim Burns, David B. Mattingly and Michael Whelan, to name but a few. He attended Lindsey-Hopkins Technical Education Education Center in Miami, Florida where he received a certificate in Commercial Art Technology-majoring in illustration and minoring in Graphic Design. Jose would ideally like to see himself one day working professionally in the motion picture industry as a Concept Artist. He had previously worked on a low- budget SF/Super Hero Animation flick titled: “Shadow Runner”, designing the individual character’s spaceships. “They tend to depend more on technology than they do on their own superpowers”. He is also interested in the publication and gaming markets. To one of his many credits, which have included several fanzine covers and one semi-prozine cover and interior artwork.
