@Roman215 Roman215 released this 28 Jul 18:38

This release reworks the Demon Compendium around what it is actually used for
(summoning several demons in a row) and corrects a Cathedral interface label,
five demon names, and two lines of dialogue.

Changed

  • The Demon Compendium now stays open after a summon. Previously every demon
    cost you the whole journey back: the browser closed, you reopened it from
    the Cathedral menu, chose a sort order again, and scrolled back down to
    where you were. Now the result is shown in place (the summon itself, or a
    refusal such as insufficient Macca, a full party, or a demon above your
    level), and confirming it returns you to the list on the same demon, under
    the same sort order. Cancelling still returns to the Cathedral menu.
  • Machine, Vaccine, and Virus demons no longer appear in the Demon Compendium.
    None of those eleven can be recruited, fused, or otherwise registered, so
    their rows could never be filled in and only read as gaps in a collection
    that is in fact complete. They remain listed in ordinary Devil Analysis,
    which is still where you look up an enemy you are about to fight.

Fixed

  • Labelled the 10th, 11th, and 12th columns and rows of the Cathedral fusion
    compatibility matrix A, B, and C. They previously read Y, E, and S, which
    looked like a word rather than a continuation of the numbering.
  • Corrected the demon names Remiel, Baek Yong, Celaeno, Otohime, and Jinn,
    previously spelled Ramiel, Pek Young, Kelaino, Oto-hime, and Djinn.
  • Capitalized the start of Gabriel's self-introduction in the Elder's scene.
  • Removed a line break that split "We believe in our savior, , so we
    aren't worried." immediately after the name.

records recruited and fused demons and lets you summon default-stat
copies from the Cathedral for Macca. Choose a NO_ENHANCEMENTS patch
to preserve the original gameplay mechanics. Apply exactly one patch.

The patches contain no game data. You need your own dump of the game;
use only an image created from media you own, where permitted by
applicable law.
