Alright guys, you might have heard of me talking about it on the channel. Megaten Online is an amazing MMO based on Shin Megami Tensei games (Those who have played Persona will have no problem adapting, it's basically post-apocalyptic grimdark Persona) with two very major setbacks: it has no PvP and it is in Japanese.
Well, no longer.

The game itself explores the time gap between the first and second Shin Megami Tensei games, where most of Japan is destroyed by a massive spoiler I won't reveal. You take up the role of a summoner and protect humanity from the roaming devils. The game utilizes private dungeons, so macroing is minimal and usually only used for building up skills. Grinding is not necessary unless you want to - getting to about level 40 will allow you to explore most of the game (Save the high-level Gold dungeons, two of which exist at the moment) especially with a party.
Devil fusion and taming, trademark of the SMT and Persona series, is of course also present. Combination attacks (Like Persona 3's Cadenza and Armageddon) have been also recently added.
I don't know if those who are currently playing the Japanese version will switch over to English, but playing a MMO with fellow Smogonauts (again!) is pretty fun, so is anyone up for it? I'll also answer any questions, and, if it comes to that, help out with character/devil building.
[Edit:] Oh yeah, it's also free. You can get items and clothing and whatnot for money, but hopefully I'm the only crazy dress-up fetishist around here.
