Talk:Shin Megami Tensei (video game)

message: "Shin Megami Tensei is a first-person RPG, like many regular computer/video game RPGs such as the Dragon Quest games. The player navigates through dungeons with a party of up to six characters. The combat is turn-based in a representive field of vision that resembles Dragon Quest in that it is first-person."
What? Dragon Quest was not played from the first-person perspective. The combat was, but not the actual gameplay. A much better example would be Wizardry, which seems to have greatly inspired the early Megami Tensei games. Also, "representive"? --Heat (talk) 01:34, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Terrible Example

message: Please add any information in regards to who worked on which SMT game (lead names obviously). Also any legal information about right holders, dealings, etc would be great too.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.18.138.77 (talk) 18:38, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Another Request

message: Just fixed the name's translation. Atlus's website indicates that name is referring to the metempsychosis of a goddess, not a goddess who oversees metempsychosis. Look here: http://www.atlus.com/smt/history.html Nickoten (talk) 05:22, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

:I'm surprised this wasn't in the article. See Megami_Tensei#Meanings_behind_the_title. Cheers. --70.128.121.235 (talk) 08:57, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Meaning of Shin Megami Tensei (Translation)

message: The SNES Rom of the game was translated by Aeon Genesis Translations in 2002. An official English translation has yet to be released.
Is an official English translation of a SNES game in 2009 really to be expected? Extremepro (talk) 05:25, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  No. I think that is one of numerous things that should be removed. --Heat (talk) 22:47, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Official English Release of SNES game

message: I'm wondering if there should be a small section below the characters section to list the various names that are used in various materials (as in the Japanese article), rather than putting them at the end of each profile, as they look odd that way. Also, Futsuo, Yoshio, Waruo, and Futsuko were the names used amongst the developers (I believe they're even in the code of the game, as placeholders, or something like that), so they're not names exclusive to Kaneko Works. They mean something like "Ordinary Male," "Good Male", "Bad Male", and "Ordinary Female" ("-ko" doesn't mean female, but it's a suffix used in a lot of female Japanese names). In Shin Megami Tensei FINAL STORY: ATLUS Official Player Capture Novel (yeah), they're named Shou (protagonist), Toshiki (law hero), Tetsuo (chaos hero), and Aoi (heroine). In (and I'm not sure of the translation), Night of the Crimson Lotus: Shin Megami Tensei II RPG Creation Volume Jump Start Kit, the heroine is named "Maki". I'm not sure of what her last name (高原) is in that, but it's something like Kougen, Takahara, Takaharu, or Takabaru. Anyway, what does everyone else think? --Heat (talk) 22:30, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Character Names

message: Would it be possible for the info on the Japanese page to be transferred here? This page is missing quite a lot, including comparisons and some character backstory. (The same also goes for the Majin Tensei page). --68.173.69.133 (talk) 05:49, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
