Thread is about the Beta DLC, which are found inside the Japanese version of the game.

Some of their resources is already shown on the wiki:
https://tcrf.net/Shin_Megami_Tensei_IV:_Apocalypse

But I went ahead and made them fully playable!
Enjoy: https://mega.nz/#!EFxQSBQY!k0YR2zZty69C3Wo8WbZrN-xmQaBfFtK4nFAf9ArTYrI (Only work on the US version!)
I do not know Japanese, but I can say that dialogues and scenes are different from the final version. We need someone who can translate them!

They can be launched on the European console using this plugin for NTR CFW: https://mega.nz/#!ldIlXQIQ!eMZwPJeIQFtjhc3cL8IlBLgGgesAqkj6thq6tCkmjKk

I'm having a Japanese-speaking friend of mine look at it and on first glance he says the differences are of cosmetic notion, such as minimally different flavour text or sentences moved around.

For now we've compared the first of the beta DLCs against finalized one.
For e300 file in it the only difference is that last line got changed from basically "Response came". to "You quietly close the video".
For quest375 file the only difference is that the beta one didn't mention player being one of the Hunters.

The moflex video accompanying this DLC is also the same, just in beta one it uses pencil drawn stop motion work in progress version of the cutscene.
If you're curious about the vids, you can compare, the beta one looks like this: https://u.pomf.is/uhdwqz.webm while the final one looks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAmVgqtHadw

So I can already confirm that the first of the six beta DLCs has absolutely no value for being translated.

We will look into the other 5 now.

Edit:
Okay, looked at second of the beta DLCs, again basically the same thing.
In e200 the only version is that in beta version, there is no "Melodic Voice" before being attacked, you just straight up get attacked and that's it.
BtlEvent610 again are essentially the same, the only difference is that in beta it refers to "that person" while in finalized version it says "her grace". Both are referring to Cleopatra, just different flaovur of wording.
BtlEvent611 in beta version, Asahi doesn't say anything. In final version, there's an added line said by Asahi. This means that finalized version simply has more content.
HunterDataBase basically the same.
profile again is the same.
quest357 again are completely identical with no differences at all between beta and final.

So that's 2 Beta DLCs are definitely not worth looking into.

Edit 2:
Started checking third beta DLC.
e240 has a whole extra paragraph added in the finalized version that wasn't in the beta.
e241, e242, BtlEvent670, profile, quest359 are the same.
HunterDataBase has minimal differences of flavour nature and it's otherwise pretty much the same.

Fith beta DLC (we skipped 4 for now since it's longer) is also entirely same shit (ItemHelpMess, profile, quest374)[/QUOTE]

Well, I didn't fix anything because it is a verbatim quote. I hope that someone will make the correction on wiki page, taken note the information and files provided in this thread. Sadly I do not have enough time, and my english is not good enough for making a detailed descriptions.
