This is an ongoing translation of the FAQ that used to be on the defunct Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei II fansite "The air outside is gray, and...", as hosted by three of the game's more memorable characters.


Introduction

+ Clinic +
~ Come here when you're forgetful ~

A nurse known as the angel in white.  I'm everyone's angel in white. Count on me!

The mad doctor Bakuta.  I wear a white labcoat, too.

The cybernetic lab researcher.  As do I.

A nurse known as the angel in white. The mad doctor Bakuta. The cybernetic lab researcher.  We're the white coat trio.

A nurse known as the angel in white.  I-I've been led into a bit... Hey, what are you two here for, exactly!?

The mad doctor Bakuta.  Recently, this site has been in a bit of a rut and there've been no updates. We've gotten a pretty cold reception too without much feedback at all.

The cybernetic lab researcher.  Well, some of the sites linked here have a peculiar understanding of things, showing admiration for answers that are overly blunt or dismissive. It seems like we've all gained a reputation as "scary people."

The mad doctor Bakuta.  In short, we've been pushing people away. It's perfect for a game like Megami Tensei II, that pushes players away!

A nurse known as the angel in white.  What are you doing, admiring this situation!?

In other words, our goal is to project a more mild image, right?

The mad doctor Bakuta.  That's right.

We'll use this page as a FAQ for the time being, too.

The cybernetic lab researcher.  It certainly is a bold move for someone who's lost their motivation to update their Megami Tensei site, isn't it? Well, we're going to try a lot of bold things here.

A nurse known as the angel in white.  If you have time to mess around like this, finish your play report—

The mad doctor Bakuta.  (gunfire)

A nurse known as the angel in white.  Kyaah!

The cybernetic lab researcher.  If you have any problems or questions, please write to the webmaster. Rest assured that there will be no bumpiness unless you've gone overboard yourself.

A nurse known as the angel in white.  If you have answers to any questions that we're unable to answer ourselves due to lack of knowledge, as well as any mistakes or contrasting opinions, please do send us an email!

The mad doctor Bakuta.  I think they'll come right at us.

A nurse known as the angel in white.  Well then, take care!

The mad doctor Bakuta.  Ah, we got rid of the email form. The bulletin board is back, so use that. You can still use email us directly if you want, too.

Translator's note: The captioned text appears to represent bulletin board texts. The name in brackets at the end is the poster, and is written in red.


Q01: If you have "two choices," wouldn't you rather pick the turnip?
From: catspotting

A nurse known as the angel in white.  What is this? This isn't some self-staged question, is it?

The cybernetic lab researcher.  Well, everyone has to start somewhere.

It's better if we don't fabricate our own questions.

Still, they didn't actually give us even two choices. It really makes you feel the times.

Serious questions, stupid questions, and all kinds of things in-between — whatever it is, don't worry about it. [Angel in White]

The mad doctor Bakuta.  That's what we wrote, but we still don't get that many stupid questions.

A nurse known as the angel in white.  It's because we're not virtuous enough.


Q02: Persona 2 has been released, hasn't it?
From: catspotting

Of course, I haven't bought it. [Angel in White]


I haven't bought it yet either, of course. (laughs) Or more accurately... I don't want to buy it! (explosion) [Raygun]


By the way, I haven't bought FF9 either... or rather, I forgot it came out. [Angel in White]


FF9 came out way too early. Well, I don't want to buy that either! (another explosion) [Raygun]


I saw that my friend bought Persona 2, but it's really lame how the voice acting is only in the battles. [Gachopin]


It's more accurate to say that... voice acting in battles is lame... [Angel in White]

A nurse known as the angel in white.  Okay, this is just self-staged stuff. We're in this.

The cybernetic lab researcher.  And these posts are just awful. I'm surprised we didn't get more trolls.

Especially since I've gone and trolled my own message board before.

The mad doctor Bakuta.  Well, you were pretty emotionally unstable back then.

But the thing is, it seems everyone agrees about Persona 2.

The cybernetic lab researcher.  I'm trying my best here. Don't you appreciate that?

A nurse known as the angel in white.  Don't be too hard on him, okay?

You've got to be kind to the elderly, after all.

The mad doctor Bakuta.  Ugh, how humiliating...


Q03: Why did Mora go to Zaratan and nearly get swallowed?
From: catspotting

He was looking for some good food himself (laughs) [Kyosuke]


Maybe he wanted to be the good food himself. "I myself am a gourmet treat. How about it~" [Nyuu]


By eating delicious food, you become delicious food...? Eek~! [Angel in White]

A nurse known as the angel in white.  Seriously, are we only capable of self-promotion here?

The cybernetic lab researcher.  But isn't that a perfectly reasonable question?

The mad doctor Bakuta.  Well, maybe Mora knew there was a pillar inside Zaratan, don't you think?

A nurse known as the angel in white.  Everyone does.

The cybernetic lab researcher.  Everyone does indeed.

The mad doctor Bakuta.  Wh-what?

Can't you answer normally?


Q04: Where did the Dark Hero get his extreme makeover?
From: Kyosuke

He'd followed Pazuzu that far already, so surely he listened when Pazuzu told him to do it! [Angel in White]


Ahhhh I love his extreme makeover so much. I wanna see it from behind... hubba hubba. [RZ250R]


He's pretty toned considering he lived in a shelter, ain't he? [Jaba]


Maybe all that travel built up his body...? [Jaba]

A nurse known as the angel in white.  Finally, posts from other people!

The cybernetic lab researcher.  The webmaster was very happy with this. These are the kinds of questions we were hoping for, after all.

The mad doctor Bakuta.  How can he be a Hero when he's so Dark?

If you're going to be Dark, call yourself a Heel or something!

The cybernetic lab researcher.  Well, that would sound a lot less cool.

A nurse known as the angel in white.  Naturally.

The mad doctor Bakuta.  Why do you guys always do this to me?


Q05: So about the "Megiddo Fire"... Did you use it?
From: Kasu

I used it against the One True God for one turn. Then I sealed it away. [Angel in White]


By the way, there's an illustration of it in the Shin Megami Tensei fanbook on page 70. It sure looks amazing. [Gaboatto]


I heard the flames of Megido can be compared to a nuclear bomb, but there's no way~ [Angel in White]


It's really useful in Soul Hackers. (You can even buy it! Although it's expensive.) [Norn]

The mad doctor Bakuta.  Oh, so is it the strongest weapon in Soul Hackers?

The cybernetic lab researcher.  By the way, I loaned you Soul Hackers a while ago, didn't I?

Doctor, how far in are you?

The mad doctor Bakuta.  Eh? Oh, ah... err...

...up to the part where I took off the winter clothes.

A nurse known as the angel in white.  Eh? Well, that's not RIGHT at the beginning, but...

What's holding you up?

The mad doctor Bakuta.  I was already put off even before I met many of the characters because I could tell they were just recycled ideas.

The cybernetic lab researcher.  I understand.


Q05: Nice to meet you. Sorry to jump right in, but where is Hinokagutsuchi? By the way, there's an area in Lucifer's Castle 2F I can't enter. What do I do?
From: Elm Tree

Wow, our first real question! You can find the Hinokagutsuchi where the Nihil Blade was after you've reached Lucifer's Castle. [Angel in White]


Also, that area in Lucifer's Castle 2F, in the southwest, is inaccessible. You'll just have to accept that (laughs) [Angel in White]


By the way, that "illusory room" is accessible in Kyuuyaku, but there's nothing there anyway. [Angel in White]


I think I already checked the Nihil Blade spot, but I'll double check!! [Elm Tree]


So there really isn't anything in Lucifer's Castle 2F... At first, because of Mappara I thought maybe Hinokagutsuchi is there. I don't have Kyuuyaku, but when i checked the strategy guide it said you could enter, so I was just confused. [Elm Tree]


I found it~! I'm so happy. I remembered seeing Naga there. But the witch can't equip it, huh? That's a shame. Thanks so much! [Elm Tree]

The mad doctor Bakuta.  You can at least see that area's shape if you use Mappara.

Well, I don't know if there's anything in it, though.

A nurse known as the angel in white.  You find the Nihil Blade and Naga in the same spot, right?

The mad doctor Bakuta.  Could be. I gotta say, I forgot.

Don't say anything about me being a senile old man.

A nurse known as the angel in white.  I think you might be a little too self-aware.

The mad doctor Bakuta.  Y-you rascal, you think you can make fun of anyone you want!?

I'll put a laser right in your path!

A nurse known as the angel in white.  Kyaaah! Groper! Robber! Murderer!

The cybernetic lab researcher.  I don't think any of those are true.


Q07: I got hit with the "PIG" curse in Lucifer's Castle. Where do I go to cure it? T_T
From: Nene

It's actually called "BOO's Curse" to be exact. No item or magic can heal it. You'll have to visit the Cathedral of Shadows. [Angel in White]


Th-that's... Well, thank you for answering me. [Nene]


I remember that I was able to cure it by using a Soma. But you can't use it during combat (crying). [Elm Tree]


A Soma can't cure PIG~ [Angel in White]


I'm sorry, maybe I was thinking of cursed equipment. In other words the CURSE status. Sorry to you too, Nene. [Elm Tree]

The cybernetic lab researcher.  So a Soma really won't work, will it?

The mad doctor Bakuta.  Yeah, that's right.

Dunno what the source of the curse really is, though.

A nurse known as the angel in white.  It reminds me of MADARA!

The mad doctor Bakuta.  H, her tastes are surprisingly depraved.

The cybernetic lab researcher.  She can hear you!

A nurse known as the angel in white.  Did you say something?

The mad doctor Bakuta. The cybernetic lab researcher.  We didn't.


Q08: What is Stephen?
From: Yuu

He's a film director who handled "E.T." and "Jurassic Park". [Angel in White]


Or maybe he's the man who starred in "Hard to Kill". [Angel in White]


My apologies. I was actually asking about the only Stephen I know, who is the wheelchair-bound man appearing in Shin Megami Tensei II. [Yuu]


No, I understand (laughs) [Angel in White]


Ultimately, he's a very mysterious person. His true identity is never revealed in the game. [Angel in White]


Maybe he's the physicist Stephen Hawking? [Masa]


↑ He definitely looks modelled after him. He's also the first person you'd think of when you think "wheelchair-bound genius". [Angel in White]


Ah, is that so? This is my first time learning about him. [Yuu]


He could also be the Count of St. Germain... maybe? [Shuu]


But we already figured out that he's Professor Hawking... [Angel in White]

A nurse known as the angel in white.  Well, when you think Steven, you think Segal, right?

The mad doctor Bakuta.  Mm, sounds about right.

The main Stevens or Stephens I know are Spielberg and Segal.

The cybernetic lab researcher.  However, asking questions of this nature on a site like this...

It feels like proof you're not very studious.

A nurse known as the angel in white.  Perhaps not, but I doubt you were overly interested in researching this yourself, either.

The mad doctor Bakuta.  I, I have a doctorate.
