Devil Summoner 2 Purchase FAQ (Read before posting!)

[Inzaghi]

1. Will I get the Raiho plushie if I buy--

Yes.

1a. But what if--

Yes.

[raum215]

ok, sir - i read it.

Now a question:

Who is Raiho?

(delete when you fix typo?)

[VMan]

Curious, was this thread prompted by lots of inquires from overly concerned people?

[unknown]

I honestly don't get which part of "EVERY SINGLE LAUNCH COPY WILL COME WITH A RAIHO PLUSHY", people don't understand.

American public schools really suck at teaching kids how to read. Mind you, I'd like to know if Kuzunoha 2 will include any sort of bonuses for people who have a clear file from the first Raidou Kuzunoha outing.

[Onion of Mystery]

Now a question:

Who is Raiho?

No typo there! Raiho is that rapscallion Jack Frost disguised as Raidou Kuzunoha. (Note: He's not cosplaying, he actively wants to fool people into thinking he's you.)

I believe having Soulless Army clear data will make it so any demon you encounter in King Abaddon that you had in your compendium before will automatically join you. There are twice as many demons in King Abaddon as there were in Soulless Army, so there's still plenty of opportunity to negotiate and such, but it's a boost for people who want it. (And maybe some wouldn't, in which case they can just not use their original save data.)

[jeffx]

^ Wow, this should have been listed as a feature! Pretty cool. I love these "clear save" unlockables.

[Rebochan]

Yea, now I'm *really* glad I just picked up a copy of Soulless Army.

And not just because the game has turned out to be quite fun.

If you're right, that would be a sweet bonus.

[unknown]

Does it affect the storyline in any way? Like unlock extra events, etc.

[Zachalmighty]

I just noticed that Inzaghi likes the Talking Heads.

Is that something that occurs IN GAME? please, pleaseplease...

I think I'm going to go the fresh route the first time around and follow it with the clear data. Is there a New Game+? If so, can you stack the clear data if you didn't use it the first time?

Also, lol at the OP :D

[Hamel]

So if I but from g...
J/K I know I will get the plushie (if not I will sue you guys for abducting my Raiho)

Now -that-, is made of win. I am so looking forward to it!!!

Possible RKvSA spoilers:

Raiho was in the first game as well... Although I never got him I'm pretty sure he is an optional boss that you can recruit.

Yes, comprehension is part of the package, but I really shouldn't get onto that subject. I could rant all day.

[DamageCity]

Damn the memory card with my save is in Canada.

Are there any demons from SA that you can't get in KA?

[Hamel]

Damn the memory card with my save is in Canada.

If there are you can't meet them so you can't re-recruit them (it only helps when you talk with a demon you had)

1. I didn't ask you.

2. If you have a demon in your compendium you can just straight out purchase them, no need to recruit.

[Hamel]

Sorry for trying to answer your question but as far as I read they only join you if you load the save not apper in your compendium

[Rebochan]

1. I didn't ask you.

Wow. What an incredibly rude response to someone bothering to help you.

[dragonlife29]

1. I didn't ask you.

Wow. What an incredibly rude response to someone bothering to help you.Since it's Sunday, I believe what crawled up his ass was a centipide; his anger slowly cripples it from within and as he posts, it inches out little by little to make room for the newest specimen the next day. It's a vicious, continuous cycle, so...

By my exhaustive studies, I believe Monday shall see him abducting a newly-hatched Bulbasaur and fooling it into entering his "Mt. Moon."

The Bulbasaur will die.

nah jeff let the man speak you know that reply that guy did was unnecessary he could have said it in a different way.

i don't think Jeff's reply was about my dislike of Hamel, more about the surreal absurdity of dl29's description.

[Pibbman]

First time I've ever seen someone act like a jerk towards someone trying to help him out. Good job. /sarcasm.

You have been on a roll lately DamageCity, this isn't the first post I've seen from you acting this way. Thank god the forums here have an ignore function.

[DamnedToBeFree]

Boo ####ing Hoo. You guys are such pussies.

Err... It isn't EVERY demon you had in your compendium that'll join if you have clear data from the first game. It's like eight of them. Most of 'em are low-level demons too, so you'll encounter the majority of them pretty early on.

You also get extra money at start depending on how much of your compendium was filled out from the first game.

If this is foreal I need to finish up Soulless army asap.

And I'm stoked for the plush I wonder will it be boxed with the game or on the side.

[Sei]

But what if Nocturne Maniax Chronicle edition premium box or some such?

I'd buy it!

[telepathy]

Did anyone notice this at amazon.ca:

Pre-order Bonus with "Devil Summoner 2"

Pre-order "Devil Summoner 2" and get a special, super-limited bundle with the game, and a rare Raiho collectible. Offer good while supplies last. Must be sold and shipped by Amazon.ca to be eligible.

Does that mean that Devil summoner 2 is going to be more than just the game or is this some sort of typo on amazon's part?

[Elimin8erX2]

I don't think does, I think it's more of a typo.

We had this question asked over at the GFAQs boards, so I'll post the link. It's explained in there, it has to do with the placing of the comma I guess.

Personally I thought it meant something extra, but maybe not...

One word question:


Rasputin?

Da.

Awe so much feelings in here.

I kind of expected Rasputin to stay around, he's like Gary from Pokemon, the annoying rival.

[marto_motoko]

:3 YAAAY! Rasputin's back!

[Dead to Rights]

I still have some unanswered questions:

1. I pre-ordered two copies of Devil Summoner 2 from Amazon.com. I'd like to have some official confirmation from an Atlus employee that I will indeed be guaranteed two hos? NOT ONE HO, BUT TWO!

2. If Amazon.com steals my ho, will Atlus replace my ho?

3. Will Atlus make any extra ho's available to purchase on Atlus.com?

4. Can Onion of Mystery sign my ho?

5. Can I have DamageCity's ho?

6. Atlus mentioned DTR's name in the official strategy guide a whopping 100 times or something like that. There was also an in game (Devil Summoner) DTR reference, will there be a repeat for Devil Summoner 2? Don't front.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/DeadToRights/game-forum/dtr_summoner.jpg

7. Profit?

[Hitoshura]

^ What was the in-game reference Deeter? I must have long-since forgotten. :(

[Inzaghi]

1. I pre-ordered two copies of Devil Summoner 2 from Amazon.com. I'd like to have some official confirmation from an Atlus employee that I will indeed be guaranteed two hos? NOT ONE HO, BUT TWO!

Every copy of the game will include a Raiho plush in the package, so yes.

2. If Amazon.com steals my ho, will Atlus replace my ho?

Amazon (or GameStop) won't steal the doll any more than they'd steal the manual. It'll be in the package.

3. Will Atlus make any extra ho's available to purchase on Atlus.com?

Highly doubtful.

4. Can Onion of Mystery sign my ho?

Also highly doubtful.

5. Can I have DamageCity's ho?

That's between you and Darren.

6. Atlus mentioned DTR's name in the official strategy guide a whopping 100 times or something like that. There was also an in game (Devil Summoner) DTR reference, will there be a repeat for Devil Summoner 2? Don't front.

It seems unlikely to me that there'll be a strategy guide for the game, since it'll have a pretty limited print run and there probably won't be enough copies printed for it to be worth DoubleJump's while. But anything is possible, and if you want a guide from DJ, I suggest taking it up with Pubba on their forums.

^ What was the in-game reference Deeter? I must have long-since forgotten. :(

Some character says to a suspect "We've got you dead to rights!" which is a fairly common phrase. It wasn't specifically meant as a reference, but hey, whatever floats DtR's boat. ;)

[Olethros]

^ C'mon Inz! Why you gotta shatter Deeter like that? You know he's a sensitive, fragile young man. :p

[Dead to Rights]

^ What was the in-game reference Deeter? I must have long-since forgotten. :(

Hito, Tomm Hulett confirmed he put a DTR reference in game. Tomm claimed the reference was so beautiful it moved him to tears. I also heard Rednusander (Atlus janitor, who also shed tears) was near Tomm when this miraculous event occurred. I originally thought Onion of Mystery was in the room as well (you know, everyone shedding tears and all).

4. Can Onion of Mystery sign my ho?

Also highly doubtful.

5. Can I have DamageCity's ho?

That's between you and Darren.

Bummer. Are you sure? I haven't felt this disappointed since Ryan Collins was wrongfully arrested for the attempted murder of his wife.

LOL @ DamageCity Darren

Here I thought Gillian Seed and DamageCity were two different people, but no, according to INZAGHI, DAMAGECITY IS DARREN!

^ C'mon Inz! Why you gotta shatter Deeter like that? You know he's a sensitive, fragile young man. :p

Inzaghi is cruel. :(

[SlaughterX]

Well it looks like Amazon.com stopped taking preorders for the time being... but why?

[thinkfreemind]

Well it looks like Amazon.com stopped taking preorders for the time being... but why?
I just noticed that too. I've already pre-ordered though, so I'm good! Perhaps the pre-orders overwhelmed Atlus?

[Divals]

I hope they aren't already sold out. I was about to preorder and it's gone!

I suppose I could always just go to Gamestop...

[Demonis]

Gahhh... I was going to replay Persona 3 after I finished 4... but from the sounds of it, I had better get started on Souless Army...

[Oni-Kagura]

I just noticed that Inzaghi likes the Talking Heads.

David Byrne is my musical hero. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE-mxVxFXLg)

Anyways, why is Rasputin not available as a bonus plushie? He is far more adorable and loveable than Raiho.

[Raiden Loire]

Hi quick Question.. the Raiho, Will it also be available to Canadian buyers(or people who preordered, or can drive across the boarder) who are stuck waiting an extra week(at least) for the game since it seems to have been delayed for Canada only

[Pibbman]

I don't see why canada wouldn't get it? I see amazon canada has the raidou on it.

[Trucido Umbra]

Gahhh... I was going to replay Persona 3 after I finished 4... but from the sounds of it, I had better get started on Souless Army...

Ha ha my last fiancee played more of Persona 3 than I did...

Er, wait actually that's not funny. I never had time to finish Persona 3, FES, 4 or all of DS1 & I'm already playing DS2.

One of these days I'll have more time, I hope... Sigh, having a job leading into a career & busy as hell life kinda sucks, almost all the options of play from the gamer life I use to have only get mini hour spurts here & there now. Gah, damn, I can't believe I'm saying that.

I'm still happy I got my doll, but I know who will probably steal it though. I might need to follow DTR's example & get a 2nd copy fast... lol

Great work even bringing it out here, you folks at Atlus have been blowing my mind with all these releases. O.o;;

[paladino]

Mind you, I'd like to know if Kuzunoha 2 will include any sort of bonuses for people who have a clear file from the first Raidou Kuzunoha outing.

well... i do have a DS1 clear data on my memory card but the game still wont recognize it when i try to start a new game on DS2
anyone have an idea what to do ?

[MickeyG42]

I don't see this anywhere on here, i can not get the game to go past the "these characters do not represent altus" screen on my PS3. It goes black and nothing happens.

[djmdma02]

That would be ps2 emulation on a ps3, doesent always work :) just do the sony method and buy a ps2 :)

[MickeyG42]

That would be ps2 emulation on a ps3, doesent always work :) just do the sony method and buy a ps2 :)

rats! shame cause all my other Atlus games work fine.

[Pibbman]

Works fine on my 60GB, do you have an 80GB?

[Nephlabobo]

Works fine on my 60 gb as well.
