I like digital devil saga (and quantum devil saga) ◇ she/her ◇ adult ◇ I'll try to keep this avatar tuner only

I know they would just taste like meat but to me the embryon taste like these:

Specifically like the fruit ones with milk

Sheffield put so much thought into something as simple as a handshake. Serph had to be shown what a handshake was by a child.

Because I remember the artist (前田 浩孝) who did the qds covers from their work on otome games, I end up imagining some really horrible scenarios sometimes.

Would an otome game featuring cannibalistic demon people sell?

I like qds but every time I see the cover art I can't help but think "what are they wearing??"

...but then I remember what they wear in the games and I realize that maybe it isn't that much weirder.

Since I've been talking a lot here I'll give a warning and an apology now: I suffer from both "forgets everything that was just said" disease and "keeps talking" disease. I don't mean to make things awkward by misunderstanding things or by going on talking. I try my best to pay attention. Anyway, it's alright to tell me when I make a mistake. I just want to talk about the game and see other people talk about the game. I won't bring this up again since it's not related to what really matters...

Digital cannibals with candy colored hair

Has anyone copied the scripts (jp and en) of ddsat and ddsat2? I'm working on the first game, but I realize now that someone has probably already done it. I wanted it to be easier to compare versions.

The second master guide is very helpful for this because it has all the extra dialogue outside the dungeons and shows when new dialogue is added. There's still the cutscenes and the dialogue inside the dungeons but hopefully that shouldn't be too hard. I'd still want someone to make sure there isn't anything missing or any typos if I do continue.

Unfortunately, there isn't anything like that for ddsat2. So that will probably take... a really long time.

Rewatching wargames. One of the guys at the beginning says something like he knew someone who grew plants and would chant "om mani padme hum" all night to them. All I can think of is digital devil saga...

The same thing happened with bible verses. The first thing I think of has almost nothing to do with the bible.

I'll defend myself about this one and say that the movie IS about a computer that does war simulations.

If Sera and Serph were less fused as Seraph, would they have two heads?

Not serious but it is funny to think about. Would Heat be nicer to the Sera head?

I couldn't remember what Cielo says he listens to in the English version.... turns out he just talks about dancing! Why?!

Originally he says latin house...

I know there are changes to the characters like...

spoilers for dds2

in the Japanese version the real Cielo is from South America while the Caribbean isn't mentioned. Why change his taste in music though...? I don't get it.

Heat's taste in music is also different for some reason.

Because of the music stuff from earlier, now I'm curious — has anyone made any digital devil saga themed playlists? I see other fans of other games make them

Comment about Lupa's theme being Western-like:

狼の誇り

とそこでルーパが現れます。ちょっと西部劇かかった曲はルーパのテーマだからです。

Comment about ddsat (1) music being made with late 60s and 70s era in mind.

Comments about the blues style songs. Funny since Heat actually says something about listening to blues in the game (metal in en version)

Mention of Santana. Example of his music here

Meguro Comment From Column:

さて、本作はデジタルデビルなサーガなわけですが、音楽もデジデジしたものかというとそうではなく。

なぜか？というと…、サーフ達が悪魔化したことによって人間性に目覚めていく姿、そして喰らいあわなければ生きてはいけないという本能むき出しの世界観。それを音楽で表現するには60後半～70年代のロックしかないでしょう！ってことであのころのサウンドを意識しての音楽となりました。

Meguro Comments on Tracks:

Muladhara

エンブリオンのアジトでのフィールド曲。DDS1は割とブルース調の曲が多く、この曲はその中でも代表的なものといった感じでしょうか。

コード進行もちょっと凝っていて、ギターも甘く良い音が出てます。（演奏は…、まあまあ？）

Svadhisthana

スワディスターナの町並みでのフィールド曲。DDSのほとんどの曲はPS2内蔵音源を使って流していて、その容量1曲あたり400KB弱（泣ける…）、 ブルース調でやるならギターはサンプリングして使いたい、でも容量は厳しい、しょうがない…

イケそうな所は4小節繰り返しのメロで…。なんて曲が多いのです。

Sahasrara

カルマ教会の町並みでのフィールド曲。サンタナか？ってメロディが入ってますが、 正直いかにもな泣きのメロディで入れようかどうか迷ってました。で、ゲーム中はこの泣きのメロディ、実は曲のリピート10回目で突然出てきます。知ってました？

Japanese Heat dialogue:

It's going to bother me forever that parts of the site seem to be missing...

Unused area for ddsat called "下層廃墟"

Source

JF： ヒーホー！おいら子供じゃないからわかるホ！「オトナのシショウ！」くらい。

他にも「オトナのジジュウ」があるのかホ？

伊東： ・・・大人の事情ってほどではないんですが・・・実際に作っていって、シナリオでもフィールド上でもゲームの流れが冗長になってしまったから削ったってフィールドがありました。

ゲーム上では使われなかったところですね。場所の名前は「下層廃墟」って場所です。

このダンジョンが中盤に本当は入る予定でした。

流れ的には「ソリッドのシタデル」周辺ですね。

Apparently Kaneko has a twitter account now and he's been answering a lot of questions about character and demon designs...

I hope someone asks about ddsat. So far I haven't seen anything.
