Newsletter (September 2019): Information on Updates Scheduled for October and November
Hello, my name is Masafumi Tanabe, the producer of this game.
Thank you for playing "SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI Liberation Dx2".
In July and August, we held a variety of events (1.5 Year Anniversary & Summer Fair) as part of the “10 Million Downloads Festival” in gratitude towards your continued support.

Democalypse
Thank you all for sending us your feedback on the beta version of Democalypse.
I would like to give players in advance info on the official version of Democalypse that has been adjusted according to the results of the beta version.
▼Concerning the feedback from players
We are happy to hear that a lot of you were happy that demons generally not popular in other game features got a chance to shine in Democalypse.
On the other hand, we also received a lot of opinion and requests regarding the rules, functionality, demon training, and controls of Democalypse.
＜General Opinion＞
- Game system
The During Cull Phase is too long. Players have no way of catching up from behind.
- Functionality and UI
Changing out Brands is a chore. Players will sometimes forget to compete.
- Demon training
It takes too long to train demons.
- Items & Resources
The cost and the amount of the items available is not satisfactory.
▼Info on the official version of Democalypse
We will continue to try and improve upon this game feature based on player feedback in hopes of providing players with a better game experience.
But for now, here is what is being planned for the official of Democalypse when it releases. (Ver.2.6.00).
①Changes to the rewards
Ranking rewards, Participation Rewards and the Vanquish Reward will be renewed for the official version.
You will receive rewards such as “Gems” and an item called “Democalypse Coin (*)”, which you can exchange for all sorts of items.
(*)The name of this item is subject to change.
②Items Exchange specific to Democalypse
An Items Exchange for the “Democalypse Coin” will be added.
Here you will be able to exchange Democalypse Coin for things like “5★ Herald Seraph (Common)” and others.
*The “Reward Tickets” you receive in the beta version will become “Democalypse Coins” with the release of the official version.
③Adjusting damage needed to raise the Bonus Rating in the Prelim.
The amount of the damage required to receive a Rating Bonus will be divided into small tiers, making it easier for parties with small damage output to obtain Rating Bonuses.
*The maximum Bonus Rating you can get will not be lower than that of the beta version.
④Adjusting the number of participants needed to gain the maximum Participation Rating.
The following adjustment will be made
25 participants needed for a maximum of a +0.8 Rating→ 20 participants needed for a maximum of a +0.8 Rating
⑤Number of Democalypse battles available per day
The number of Democalypse battles available to players each day will remain the same in the official version, which is 2 battles a day.
*No adjustments to this limit is being planned for now.
⑥Bonus Areas and special rules
These were originally meant to add variety to the gameplay, and ways to implement them without disrupting preparations before Cull is still being discussed. News on this topic is to be announced at a later date.
Others
①Cancelling all Brand removal cost
All Brand removal cost will be eliminated to make for a smoother gaming experience in the next version update of the game (Ver.2.6.00).

②Improvements on the Brands function
To make equipping Brands more convenient, new functions like reassigning a set of brands equipped on a demon to another demon and an icon display on equipped Brands that shows the demon wearing the Brand will be added to the Brands function.
*To avoid Brands being overwritten, please use the Lock function for Brands.
③Demon Training support
Special events that helps to speed up demon training like Story Quest Stamina cost 50% OFF will be held periodically.
④Acquiring items
After increasing the amount of Yasaka Magatama distributed in events, Skill Transfer has become relatively easy to perform. Therefore, no adjustments will be made for the time being. We are still considering the possibility of making adjustments to the availability of Kasane Magatama and Blank Genomes while maintaining game balance.
Schedule for the next Version Update
The next version update (ver. 2.6.00) is scheduled to be conducted at around the first half of November.
Aside from the official version of Democalypse, [ver. 2.6.00] will also contain new story content, new demons and other game improvements. But since we cannot guarantee that everything being planned right now will make it to the release, and there are certain things that we still cannot reveal right now, we plan on making another announcement at the end of October.
We will continue to listen to our fans and do our best to provide you with the best game experience possible moving forward, and we hope you will continue to support "SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI Liberation Dx2". Thank you.
