Ty, any idea how many they're giving away?

The theme from the background of the Nintendo Direct video here gets me more hype.

So hype that I'm prepared to drop money on the limited edition japanese 3DS LL for this game.

I would consider that if it wasn't region locked.

[Correction]

I would consider that if it wasn't region locked.

That's why you import the hardware.

[xopher]

Uh.. Yes, that's what he was talking about. Let me flesh my statement out a little more.

I would consider importing the hardware if it was not region locked. I want to be able to actually play the game in English on that hardware.

considering how much 3ds title won't see the western shore for at least a year after its release in japan, a japanese 3ds isn't that bad of an investment

I wouldn't recommend it to someone who doesn't speak japanese though lots of stuff (not published by Nintendo) gets localized.

[Mizango]

[xopher]

SMTIV special packaging shown on Nintendo Direct. July 16th release, officially.

[Sutra]

Noticed a pretty game-breaking glitch in soul hackers not very far into the game.

I pretty much rushed to the first boss with the "harder mode" hack on and died. This in and of itself wouldn't be a problem but I decided to restart the game to re-do the MC stats and found that if you save over the previous data the game keeps all the info and stuff you had.

Map data, chests opened, demon analysis is all saved and unfortunately so was my dying status, so now I can't take more than 2 steps into the first dungeon without getting a game over screen. Also none of the shops are open yet as I'm not far enough into the story, so I can't even test to see if a revival bead would allow me to at least walk to the first healing spot.

Just thought I'd get that out here and tell people to be careful about saving any new games over old data. Also I don't know if this affects all 3ds systems or just the XL (which I'm playing on).

Edit: Well I'm boned. After starting a new game and not saving at all I still have the dying status after getting control of the main character. Hopefully they release a patch or do a recall soon as I can't even play past the first dungeon now.

Call Atlus or take the game back to the retailer and exchange it.

If you do call Atlus, I'm interested in hearing what they say/do.

Have you tried deleting all the data from your 3DS in regards to Soul Hackers? Stupid suggestion, I know, but still!

[Sutra]

Sorry pretty late reply here but I actually got it working at around 4 am last night. Unfortunately the data is saved directly to the card so you can't delete it off the system ><.

What I had to do was restart the game with the voices off (I really dunno if this had anything to do with it, but I thought "why not?"). When I got the first opportunity to save I saved over the old data in the first slot, turned off the game, took the card out of the friggin 3ds, and put it back in and restarted from that new save point.

once I got to

Urabe's vision

I healed multiple times in the healing space, saved the game yet again and did the same steps I performed the first time I saved.

There's another bug I'd heard of where if you restarted the game you couldn't re-open chests you had previously looted, and doing all of this crap fixed that problem along with the status effect problem.

Glad I managed to get it working again since I've been enjoying the game except for that one major glitch.

Edit: Apparently this is a pretty rare bug as I hadn't seen any complaints like this on the main Atlus forums (lol main forums aside) while I was trying to google-fu myself a workaround. Only other place I even heard of this problem was on the gamefaqs forum and I ended up being the person who came up with the solution.

This last fucking dungeon in Strange Journey is taking forever. I'm on the Neutral Route and I just beat

Awake Jiminez

So it appears I only have one boss left but it's going to take like 10 more hours to get there.

edit: lol I got to mem aleph and she two shotted me.

Edit2: Got all of my reflect all demons and put them in my party. Reflected Mem Aleph to death. Took two rounds for each form. lol
