Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga (デジタル・デビル・サーガ アバタール・チューナー, Digital Devil Saga - Avatar Tuner) is a PlayStation 2 role-playing game. It is a spin-off of the Shin Megami Tensei series of video games; the main difference between Digital Devil Saga and the main series is the focus on specific characters rather than summoning demons to fight alongside your party. The story to Digital Devil Saga is continued with its direct sequel Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2.
Notable features of the game include the ability to shapeshift between demon and human forms in battle, and a return of the "press turn" battle system from Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. A large difference between Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga is the ability to change equipped skills at will, instead of at level up. Unlike in Nocturne, unlearned skills are not lost forever, which allows for much greater character customization. The game features a mantra system where Atma gained after battle can be used to "download" new abilities at a saving terminal. Atma is gained by devouring enemies in battle.

Cast:
Serph: Main character. Apparent mute. His stat growth is determined by the player. Ice affinity. Weak against Fire.
Heat: Not the main character. Stat developement determined by the game, favoring physical skills. Fire affinity. Weak against Ice.
Gale: The Tactician of the Embryon (the character's tribe). Balanced stat growth. Wind affinity. Weakness against Electricity.
Cielo: Craziest hairdo in the game. I think he favors luck. Electricity affinity. Weakness against AILMENTS (that is horrible in a SMT game), and thus almost never used.
Argilla: Stat growth focused in magic (and thus, for a great deal of the game, a VERY HEAVY hitter). Earth affinity. Weakness against Wind.Her breasts bite. No, really.
In this game, every level up provides 3 points to be distributed for Serph. It is your duty to choose what areas should be focused. Again, a balanced one would be best.
And as the wikipedia quote said, there is a skill system that allows you to mix and match freely. It makes things easier. Unfortunately, the previously passive skills, such as resistances and nulled elements are now instead active skills, shields that need to be raised.
Since I am not a masochist, I will be using a NewGame+ file, and that will allow me to retain all the mastered Mantras that were in the previous cycle. It is likely that the Mantra Grid will be filled by at least one character (Serph).
Missing FilesThis LP is missing a large number of files. Unfortunately, these images appear to be lost forever. We hope you'll enjoy it nonetheless!
