Sistermon Noir Restoration Guide

This guide will explain how to restore the censored Digimon on the west version of the game called: Sistermon NOIR

Introduction

Not a lot of people know, maybe the hardcore Digimon fans do, but there was a Digimon in the japanese version named Sistermon Noir, but when you meet the requirements to evolve it you ended up getting a version named Sistermon Ciel. This was a change probably due to the religious tones of Noir Resembling a Catholic nun using two guns in provocative dressing.

Good for us all the files are still in the game and we can change them to restore Noir.

Guide

INSTRUCTIONS:

The guide itself it's very simple. you just need to follow these steps:

1. Go to the installation folder of the game, usually Steamapps\common\Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition , you can also just right click the game on your library, go to: Properties > Local Files > Browse Local Files...

2. Enter the folder "Resources" find the file "DSDBA.steam.mvgl".

3. Simply rename it to something else (BACKUP_DSDBA.steam._mvgl) for example.

4. That's it, now the changes are applied changing this version:


To the original version:



Notes:
- This change sadly doesn't change the name from Ciel to Noir, or C (Awake.) to N (Awake.) The good thing is that the game lets you change every Digimon's name, so you can just rename Ciel to Noir or C to N

- This change also renames "Shibuya Records" to the original "Tower Records" changed on the west probably because of copyright issues.

Trivia

- Sistermon Ciel does actually exist in the digimon universe, the colors and hat are the same as you can see them in game, the difference is instead of guns, the original Sistermon Ciel uses a sword:

Special Thanks

Special thanks to the Digimon community and the moderator "THEIGNO" from who I learned about this easy way to change the game.

[Denyal]

most probably both

[Neo Black]

Ok, one more thing: let's say I have Sistermon Ciel, Sistermon Ciel Awakened. If I change the file both are gonna turn black or can I choose wich is gonna turn black?

[Denyal]

that would be difficult since the way they "censored" the game was to change model/sprite work for sistermon, technically in this game it's only 1 digimon, you would have to either manually mod another digimon to look like sistermon, or find a way to "add digimons" by modding.

[Neo Black]

Uhm, question: what if I want to make a Sistermon party and I want both Ciel and Noir?

[Valdis]

it can't be that simple can it? and if i change her name it drops the awake part(tried the name thing on a different console just to see what happens when you change the names)

[Jihibukay]

cool

[xKIUx]

But mine is vanila too

[Zenduz]

100% vanilla, it works fine so yea mods that replace that file will preventing it from working

[Denyal]

thanks for corroborating it, apparently some people are modding the game and replacing files and that's why it doesn't work for them

[Zenduz]

this method still works
