Digital Devil Saga: First Person Camera
Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner · デジタル・デビル・サーガ アバタール・チューナー
Adds a SELECT-button switch between first-person and third-person views while exploring Digital Devil Saga, from the very first playthrough, with limited up-and-down look on the right stick.
What it does
gymzatan's patch, the same project that covers the sequel, gives the field camera a first-person option. Press SELECT while exploring to drop into a view at the character's eye level, with the player model hidden, and press it again to return to the normal third-person camera. There is no need to clear the game or start a New Game Plus first.
In first person the right stick tilts the view up or down, up to 60 degrees each way; the angle stays where you leave it, and switching views levels it again. The viewpoint was raised slightly compared with earlier camera cheats. The patch reuses the game's own camera, collision and visibility code, and story scenes and special cameras behave as in the original. The idea of a SELECT toggle comes from Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own unmodified copy of the American release, following the instructions in the repository. Start the patched game from a cold boot and load a normal save, not an old emulator save state, and turn off any older camera cheat. All credit goes to gymzatan.
