RPGM Completed SHRIFT [v8.07] [DEVIL'S OFFICE]

[Mr. Cofman]

A: Even with the MOW guards, yes, theres justification, but if you tried to say "Your Honor, my girlfriend betrayed my trust earlier so I killed her while she was defenseless", it wouldnt hold up in court. The downwards slope is only really completely not justifiable right before the Hyakki fight. Hence why I called it a slope.

Not related really to the point but what makes this specific mow guard aspect really interesting is the complete disparity. Kazuya considers even the lives of the guards that tried to take his life valuable when speaking to Nina, but in Genocide does.. what he does. Simply put, no reason exists for him to have such a separate behavior. It really does lend itself to EX4's plot.. before EX4.

Hmm... Kazuya does become merciless in genocide route, marking everything as an obstacle between him and his friends, but I don't see a problem in his actions, as long as everything tries to kill him. Even the ones he trusted, used old bullets against him. After that I feel like he just gave up and completely submitted to Intervener and The Old One. Can't blame him for everything that happened afterwards. All of that wouldn't happen if YOU didn't choose to kill.

B: Demon Rounds didnt exist prior to the game's events, and Micah, doesnt really count because unlike Yuuma she knows what Kazuy's got in him and unlike Reina she doesnt love him enough to risk the entire universe and unlike both of them, was already willing to kill him due to her own affiliation with MOW

Look at this from a different perspective. Don't you think it is strange that Reina and Yumma came together in time after Micah injured Kazuya? They were just waiting in shadows, using Micah as a bait. She was dead anyway, controlled by camazots or whatever it is. Yumma is basically dead too, gobbled up by Daji, which only imitated his behavior, and Reina seemed to be on their side anyway, since she was just watching her lover almost killed and left him to his devices after. Fuck her, fuck all of them.

C: People keep bringing up this knife and locket, as far as I'm aware these are mod items? Maybe the knife does exist but the locket didnt exist for me, and I see a mod file in the download here that literally adds it in?

I don't know if it's added by a mod, I'm just using the latest version of the game from this website. You need to get every item from gargoyle statue in Hell and combine them on a workbench before the battle with Hyakki, but I'm not sure if you can get all items without cheating, since only some bosses, lampas and barghests give you enough material, but everyone else are stuck at 8-9 material (you need 10), depending on a difficulty.

D: Rip man, sorry you find Genocide Route disappointing. But you wouldn't be the first person to come from Paradox's collab and disagree with Kazuya's original portrayal. In the end this is the guy he was in Paradox too.

In paradox collab Kazuya(The Old One) effectively destroys everything on his way, even the space itself, but when we are playing as him in the actual game... it's not nearly as impressive.
That's why I'm disappointed.
Hmm... even the fight with Hyakki is weird. Neither Kazuya nor she is fighting seriously, as if both of them know it being pointless...
(Maybe in post genocide something will be different? Gonna check...)

 

[Mr. Cofman]

Hmm... the genocide route is unavailable after you achieve it, and nothing much changes in the game, except Eco being scared and cats too, while Hyakki watching you on the exit from the lab.
Meh...
I wonder if something will change if you continue killing everyone you can on the further cycles, but it's so boring... *sigh*
...hmm, guess I should play true mercy then :'(
I was expecting Hyakki at least evacuating everyone from the next cycles but... perhaps I'm expecting too much.

I know this is offtopic, but is there a way to edit the gajinizer i need to translate to spanish for a friend, because the spanish version that is in this forum SUCC hard. I already tried to edit that version of the game but it doesnt apply besides is more easy if i just need to translate the text and not run through events in rpgmvxace UI.

Eh, off topic is a stretch. That being said, you'd be better off asking somebody from the translation team for the game. They've got a small discord server you should be able to find.

 

[Sarojin]

They haven't even fully translated this game, the extra stories aren't fully translated, and the medal you get for beating hardmode and giving to the demons isn't translated as well.

I'd love to have the extra stories translated, not too worried about the hardmode medal to be "praised" stuff translated, would still be nice for it to be fully translated.

If I recall correctly, Im pretty sure they're waiting for Black Fox to translate that and any other less important stuff. Focusing on other projects like SHRIFT II and Dreamland in the meantime.

Too bad Black Fox will take us five more years...

i already ask nobody answer. Also there is a guide on the read me of translation but is for the old version of gajinizer

Question: I saw someone mention to not use a Genocide route file for a NG+. Why?

Did a neutral run so I could do Gen route. Something got messed up and I had to reinstall and use debug to get to Gen route after already playing half way through the game again. The whole process ended up meaning I've seen Chapter 1 more than 3 times in a very short time and I'm getting burnt out. Coupled with that I didn't know the way I've been playing would mean no NG+ bonuses yet which kinda hampers the appeal of going through multiple routes.

So I'm debating on whether doing other routes or going straight to TM but if there are anymore hiccups I'm going to have to throw in the towel either way. Should I use the gen code before continuing? Are there consequences for playing on a file with Gen flags?

Beating Hyakki was not cathartic. Since you can't even beat her.

NG+ Bonuses as far as I'm aware are in direct correlation with demon bonds. So even if Genocide could give you any, it doesn't have any. Without spoiling them because they're pretty fun to see, they tend to appear after a neutral run and make getting any remaining bonds you didnt have for TM much easier.


Generally speaking, if you've already done Genocide, then you've already seen most of the routes. Neutral has some variance but its just Genocide, the Neutral Variants, Mercy variants, and True Mercy. So just play neutral again, I'd recommend keeping the genocide aftereffects for that first new neutral run, I think they're pretty cool. If its really burning you out though, I'd recommend just stepping away. Chapter 1 so many times back to back can feel like a bit of a chore by nature.

Hi, I have a question. Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this error? I've been trying to fix it, but nothing works.

The error occurs in the EX4 story section, in the multiverse area where you fight Vasilica. When I defeat her and interact with the door to advance to the next floor, I get this graphics error. I've already tried uninstalling and redownloading the game, but it really doesn't work, and there's nothing else I can do other than ask on this forum.

After first run I spent a WHILE trying to find any info about NG+ because I wanted to keep my items and gold. Gen route is so cursed. Next run I'm going to debug in all my gen route gains by memory. I didn't even get to enjoy the impure fan because as soon as you get it it's basically useless. But yeah I'll probably do that seeing as how TM means I'll be donezo with this game.

I'm just guessing but did you change your system locale to Japan in settings or by using the locale emulator linked in OP? If you haven't it's worth a try until someone else responds. Also, I've seen mentions in this post here and there about issues with EX4. Including a comment with a collection of fixes for various issues. I'd link to the comments but I'm too lazy. If you feel like slogging through the post you might find a solution. I'd start by going backwards, pretty sure those EX4 comments are more recent so you shouldn't have to scour the whole thread.

I have the regional settings set to Japanese, as I have them for other games like The Three Charms, which I was playing. I had found things in the thread and started trying to fix it with that, but I'm going to try other things to see if it works.

Hmm... if the game says that the file is missing... then make the game find that file!
Just make a file with a missing name. You can copy any (image?) file from that folder and rename it as the missing one (better pick the one that associated with the character you are dealing with or fuck it and use completely black image).
It won't look beautiful, but it works, though if I remember correctly, another error regarding a different missing file will occur, so good luck fixing that as well.

This is a pretty common error with EX4 that started as of recently, theres a lot of discussion regarding it a few pages back.

does anyone know why the developer made the Genocide route impossible to complete without cheats? i’m pretty sure it wasn’t like this in the earlier versions.

 

[Mr. Cofman]

I wonder if it doesn't fit the game's world, since the goal of this game is to Intervene in any way you can in order to achieve a desired result. It's just some paths are aided by many powerful "interdimensional beings", to the point of even giving you something like a debug tool, while on the path of a genocide, the Intervener can only count on himself.

too many people choosing that path and he didnt like that. I understand that Hyakki is the sans of this game and she was a piece of cake before that change, but one thing is making a fight difficult and other a full RNG frustrating one.

anyone ever figure out the "Script 'Gaijinizer Patchmaker' line 1895: RGSS Error occurred. Failed to create bitmap" error? Just showed up during 4-1 when I lose to Micah

 

[Mr. Cofman]

Is there a way to save Micah?
I feel like there is, but... my memory was changed.
Something like... complete all EXes and then replay the game from the beginning? Not sure, just asking. Maybe someone knows something or rather just stop me from building up unreasonable hopes.

Never heard of this, and I'm not sure what reason there'd be to build such a convoluted route to "save" her other than her being hot since she has relatively little story relevance
