Mechi was a digital pet in Soul Hackers. You could never have one in the original.

Nemechi seems to be a fusion between Mechi and Nemissa considering it's angel forms resemble her true form and it starts out a cute genderless ball.

Alright, joking aside, I'm tossing out the idea because although the military would eat up a durable super-tablet, I'm trying to figure out the potential apps it could run as a civilian/law enforcement device - I have the specs worked out, just solidifying the idea. So, basically:

>on-the-fly translation program, using a mic to sample language for a fitting dictionary
>AI intelligent enough to get basic conversation
>always-on wireless net (likely 4G for now) and GPS
>either singular LCD screen in the shape of a monacle that's shockproof, or more transparent (but frail) like google glasses
>battery and barebones PC connected via fanny-pack
>bluetooth connection for keyboard, for acting as an input device to any programmable device (possibly micro-drone surveillance, needs extended range)
>everything a smartphone can do
>mouse interface either shrunk to a nub on the wrist, or track hands via Google tech
>>
>this will not be the theme of Persona 5

You know, I kind of wonder what Coordinate 136's actual purpose was. I mean, the pre-recorded messages pretty much entirely spoil the whole real heat-real serph confrontation as well as the reason the real world became a hell hole, so it makes me wonder.
Is it just an artifact of Sera's own little virtual retreat that she created, before Colonel Beck saw the potential military application?

For the demographic, this is obviously going to be /g/-tier, and gonna be tough to make work offline, which will double the price to absurd levels for always-on service. So, unless you're an engineer/comp sci sci and make it a general hacking tool, this shit will not be a toy to fuck with. But if the battery goes out, eh, you can shield your eyes with the shockproof monocle instead of Google-fucking-glass.

>>79527023
Have you read how /g/ tore apart Google glasses just for low battery life? Separating the components into "tower" and "power supply" would help tremendously to suit the buyer's needs. Don't need the horsepower of the i7 you can shove down there? Get a TDP-conservative processor. Hate the battery life? Get a bigger battery. Hate the weight you carry? Shrink the battery. There's probably going to be variable models for the eyewear too, so you can choose between glasses/goggles and the monacle.

Guys, we need to find the demons first. That said, if enough research goes into the apps and this goes beyond cosplay novelty, I'm hoping to develop software that can crack cyphers, if we get past the point where you can talk to any human native. Therefore, if you give it an alien/demon, talk with it enough and it'll understand basic words, which it'll use for an on-the-fly dictionary. Like I said, I'm expecting this to take a lot of horsepower, so no wimpy ARM shit.

If I'm blowing smoke up my ass, I can at least build an AR-centered console, which I can sell to Nintendo. Win-win.

A wrist comp is kind of worthless for military or security use if it impedes the wrist in any way

if it was something that went on your back or was thin enough for a band, and recorded biometrics or something useful, maybe for research, maybe you could get somewhere

or if you hacked together something with raspi and sold it to people who are really into that aesthetic or japan

you could even fuck with the OS to make it like DDS

Yeah, currently my first year as a transfer to state college. Haven't really been ambitious with E.E. yet, just know the basics - but if something like this can convince other turbonerds to work with me unlike my other vidya-esque projects I have a decent shot at making an invention to patent.

Anyways, I've done some research into micro-keyboards, and found the frogpad. It's short enough to fit on your arm without obstructing your wrist, while having all the essential buttons without resorting to touch screens (trackpads can go underneath the keyboard). And while we're at it, I guess a biometric sensor can be fitted to the temples and the lower wrists to keep track of blood pressure and sweat.

If it goes nowhere, Raspi is definitely feasible. I've almost thought of making a handheld console with Raspi, so as a gimmick it could do well enough to be a one-off that nerds can mod into what they want - after that, all I'd need are royalties.

I think I'd vastly prefer a soundtrack similar to P1/2, to be honest. Or just go all out and give us nothing but rockin' guitar riffs. But I doubt something that great would happen because you gotta pander to those filthy otaku, and we all know they dig the j-pop.

I'm a little over halfway done with Nocturne as the second SMT game I've played, I'm thinking of moving on to either the Raidou games or Digital Devil Saga. Which one would you guys recommend first?
>>
>>79533748
I'd say Raidou just for a change of pace before DDS since the latter is pretty similar to Nocturne. Raidou vs. The Soulless Army is pretty rough though so you may just want to skip to King Abaddon
>>
>>79533748
The Raidou games are ARPGs, but the first one's a little bit clunky. Great game, just a little clunky.
DDS is pretty much a continuation of Nocturne, mechanics-wise. Takes the press-turn system and polishes it to a fine shine.
>>
>>79533714
What if they got Yu Godai back in to write for this spiritual sequel?

My only gripe with this chart would be that Nocturne is probably a better entry point for SMT in general than DDS. At least I figure that's what it's for, since P3 is also at the top.

I think the idea is to ease people into the series since DDS is a bit more of a traditional JRPG than Nocturne
>>
>>79534352
I think it might be because DDS is closer to standard JRPGs than something like Nocturne, and most people who want to get into SMT have likely played other JRPGs before.

From what some other anon mentioned in a past thread Jinana survives going berserk, something else killed the Wolves and it wasn't the Brutes, and Lupa might be the reincarnation of Serph and Heat's old tribe leader.

I was wondering: how chaotic does things get? The game had a sort of soft law and chaos thing going on with everyone being machines working on logic in the Junkyard until the atma virus spreads and then emotions and chaos begins to stir.
>>
>>79539137
>the jellyness is killing me

I CANT FIGHT THIS LOVE ;_______;
>>
>>79539424
>how chaotic does things get?
Here's some food for thought: Gale is a special kind of person in the Junkyard, known as a Bishop. Bishops are the tacticians and are born with all kinds of special shit, as well as specific conditioning. The Atma virus directly contradicts Bishop conditioning to the point where it drives most of the Bishops to madness or suicide, due to the fact that it brings up emotions and makes people act like...well, people. Bishops pretty much are machines, actually. Hell, even Gale's becoming somewhat unhinged due to the conflict between his Atma and his Bishop conditioning.

But yes, Jinana survives going berserk thanks to a liberal dosage of Sera's blood, the Brutes did not kill the Wolves and Lupa may indeed be Serph's old Tribe boss reincarnated. Signs certainly point to it.

It wasn't him, it was just his combat data. This means that DDS comes after Nocturne in the timeline (for whatever that's worth)

what does this mean

I don't even know if they kept the "2 turns are lost if you miss/they dodge" thing and I'm 8 hours into the game. Nothing has missed 8 hours into the game. 3 Sukukaja and 3 Sukunda? Nothing. The part where it says evasion boosted must be a bug.

And then he got the massively powered up Izanagi-no-Okami if he played his cards right, just like MC got Orpheus Telos.
Speaking of which, exactly what significance does Orpheus Telos have? I don't recall Orpheus having being a huge deal outside of music prowess.
>>
>>79559748
Actually the only reason they all re-incarnated is because they didn't achieve enlightenment. If the rest of the cast did, they would have joined Seraph.
>>
>>79559906
>Speaking of which, exactly what significance does Orpheus Telos have?
None, besides being great musician
Orpheus Telos isn't MC's ultimate persona
>>
>>79559748
Yes, but he also managed to defeat Lucifier. Seraph got brahman to fix the sun by convincing him. It was less Seraph doing it and more seraph getting brahman a much more powerful being than it to do it instead.
>>
>>79559906
he really isn't compared to a lot of other entities.
Let's see if I remember everything
>Favored by Apollo. They met when Orpheus inadvertently killed one of Apollo's sheep, because he needed some gut to string himself a new lyre. Apollo was so impressed by the music that he stayed his hand.
>Wife died. went to the underworld to rescue her, with the archetypal 'don't turn back till you're out' test. Failed. Renounced all gods but Apollo.
>Traveled the world making music, which often enthralled men like some sort of gay pied piper. Eventually a bunch of jealous wifes got together, killed him and cut off his head. His head just kept singing.

The last part is why his design in Persona is wholly robotic below the neck.

the name 'Orpheus Telos' is wholly unique to the english translation of P3 FES and P3P, unlike Hermes Trismegistis which is an amalgam god of Hermes and Thoth, but as for 'telos itself (from the wiki)
>Telos means "end" in Greek. It also refers to an ultimate purpose or intention in Aristotelian philosophy.
>>
>>79559987
well, yeah, but I mean all of them reincarnating at exactly the same time, as humans of the same sex they were in the previous life, rather than thousands of years apart, as animals, demons, and ghouls of some kind.
>>
>>79560153
Defeating Lucifer implies that the fight was anything but a test of strength and worthiness. That's wrong.
>>
>>79560153
My understanding of the way it's handled in DDS (and, probably, in the rest of MegaTen, but we've only ever seen people with false enlightenment forced upon them in the greater MegaTen verse so that's neither here nor there.)
Enlightenment implies fully realizing your place in the universe, your relation to everything, and your own existence. This included the relationship between humans and gods/demons. All demons exist because humans believe in them, and how they act is dictated by what humans believe. Once you fully understand this process, you can then dictate how any demon acts if the belief you can muster is greater than the belief of all other humans across the cosmos who also believe in that entity. At the top of this hierarchy of demons is the great will, who has many avatars including Brahman and YHVH.

Of course if you're a data shaman, you can just hack the demons quantum source code manually on the fly, and not bother with amassing stupidly huge quantity of belief. As an enlightened data shaman, Seraph can theoretically redefine any demon ever (except the true Nyx)
Of course part of fully understanding a thing is knowing full well what good it brings, and what bad could come about if you fuck around with it willy nilly.
>>
>>79560153
Even fucking Nakajima defeated Lucifer. At this point, the only purpose Lucy serves is to get beaten up and laughed at.
>>
>>79560951
Except Nakajima and Aleph and whatnot only beat Lucifer with powerful demons. DF can do it for free solo
>>
>>79560841
It was my understanding that Brahman was entirely separate from the Great Will, which is why Satan and the Archangels freak out about the DDS world not being their world. Or did I just misunderstand?
>>
>>79561217
*with power borrowed from Masakado
>>
>>79561341
Well most of Lucifer's attacks are almighty anyway, but that's not the point. Point is when people compare feats of DF and other devil summoners, they ignore the fact that latter have to use demons, and individually are far weaker than DF
>>
>>79561297
an aspect of a god can still function as a seemingly distinct entity, with its own personality and motives. In hindu mythology Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva are all aspects of Brahman. Each then have a feminine aspect, who is also their consort, several reincarnations, children, etc etc, all of whom can still be traced back to Brahma, yet are capable of coexisting, interacting, and even conflicting with.
>>
>>79559391

Technically Hikawa is the one who destroyed it. Demi-fiend just prevented it from being fixed by killing the repair-service.
>>
>>79562804
>Demi-fiend just prevented it from being fixed by killing the repair-service
That would be DE. In TDE he actually destroys everything that was supposed to be fixed
>>
>>79562964

No. I was referring to kagutsuchi as the repair service. The universe was already dead. It transforms into an egg with kagutsuchi at its core in order to grow a new one. The vortex world ends when kagutsuchi dies. Something that is meant to happen in every vortex world. Killing it wasn't as impressive as it sounds. Which is why lucifer sent him to do it not just as a task about that specific world, but also as a test of strength.

>>79557467

The question is what is enlightenment? Have we seen any other characters that have it? Do any of the demons have it? Is it something that it even makes sense to ask if a demon has? Humans can fuse with demons. What happens when they do that? If Jimenez gets reborn as a full demon would he lose a human chance at enlightenment? Is enlightenment alignment based in any way, or can someone of any alignment make use of it?
>>
>>79563207
In Nocturne they talk about how demons are more or less static, but humans have the power to change. This implies that for most demons enlightenment is impossible. also that when Demi-fiend loses his human heart to become a full demon in TDE that he's forsaking any chance for him to gain enlightened.

If I remember correctly, both Law Hero and Meta Gore claimed to be enlightened, but that was a false enlightenment given to them by mere gods rather than something they obtained through understanding. I suppose you can think of it as the difference between learning by rote and having a fluid understanding of something.
>>
>>79563529
addendum to this. In theory, it's conceivable that just as demi-fiend is capable of gaining the heart of a demon, a demon might be able to gain the heart of a human. this could explain the black frost in DeSu, who became a Black Frost after awakening to justice and love, when normally a Jack Frost becomes a Black Frost when it reconnects with its own capacity for evil
>>
>>79563826
>a demon gaining a human heart
Now THAT is an interesting concept.

I have a feeling that SMT x FE will be either:

1. FE characters from different games in modern Tokyo with demons and no Megaten characters other than maybe Steven and some classic NPCs like RAG;
2. All new cast that consists of obligatory FE archetypes in modern Tokyo with demons.

Basically, I don't expect to see all those SMT people they showed in the teaser.
>>
>>79564857
I don't expect us to actually see anything of the game. Ever.
>>
>>79564857
I just really hope we get some info on it soon, or maybe some screens or even a gameplay trailer.
>>
>>79563529

Arguably, maybe all enlightenment is a false enlightenment. Maybe that's the point. The high ranking main demons (belial claims this in iv) see the world from a point of view where everything is clear and obvious. And so enlightenment is synonymous with thinking you now see the world from a perspective such as this. Any version of which will still have some limitations. What the more advanced demons have is what humans who follow those alignments in many cases are trying to get. Gaians are trying to become full ubermensch. Messians (the ones who are doing more than just kissing ass anyways) are trying to fully give up the self. Gore thinks he fully achieved internal balance. The point could simply be that enlightenment is not a metaphysical state of finality in the way some things idealistically view it. Its simply fully actualizing into a specific outlook.

I love how in yuzu's ending you more or less call out that to get rid of god, he was going to give power to a literal god of evil who doesn't even PRETEND to have good intentions, and says he's a mad / raging / violent god, and calls humans "refuse."

That doesn't make him an avatar of the Great Will. He is the God of DDS, but he is not YHVH or the Great Will.

The Angels do not serve him, and they serve avatars of YHVH and the Great Will. Even an NPC in Nocturne mentions that Metatron is the voice of the universe in Nocturne.

They are similar, but they are not the same thing. Just as Polaris is not YHVH, nor is the North Stars who come before or after him.

It's just a guessing game on whether a demon likes apples, oranges, pears, or grapes. With a certain amount of RNG thrown in so a demon who normally likes apples might hate apples the first time you give them some.

There's nothing about it that's even a negotiation

>First things first, if you're using the English translation patch and using an SNES emulator, you'll need to make a save state here. Load up a clean, *unpatched*, ROM and load that save state. Now return to the room where you talked to Law Hero and Haniel, and you'll see an old man. He'll ask you if you want to be baptised into the Messian Faith. Since the text is either gibberish or Japanese, you'll want to chose the top choice (which is "yes"). After the baptism, create another save state and load the English patched ROM back up.

I am, but in the past I used to update on the SMT1 PSX translation project.

Long story short, after a while people told me to put a trip on because there was falseflagging going on.

I happened to make a wall of text sometime later on Carl Jung and Tulpas with the trip on and it caused a tremendous shitstorm.
I still don't understand to this day why it caused so much asshurt since it was secondary anyway.

Bottomline, I ain't putting a trip on at least on /smtg/. Too much butthurt.

Seriously though, I know most of current /SMTG/ wasn't around for the longest time, but lemme educate those of you who are new. Canzah was one of the worst tripfags we ever had. He is a major asshole who gets mad about the tiniest shit and is a total elitist, and he doesn't understand why people have a problem with his abrasive personality. He was driven out after people made fun of him for shitposting about tulpas and being a waifufag. Ever since he came back, there's been a surge in really angry posts here lately, and the majority of those are probably him.

The hacking projects that he's commandeered aren't worth putting up with his shit, but to avoid being more obnoxious than him, I'm gonna drop it and just hope that you guys have context on why people dislike him now.

So, I've started KMT, and the only other SMT games I've played (and beaten) are SMT1 and 2. Those games weren't much of a challenge due to the OP status bullets, but KMT is already wrecking my shit in the first dungeon, so I guess this is where I git gud at Megaten.

Does the game expect me to grind for quite a bit before I can clear the first dungeon? Money is horribly low so I can't recruit any demons for fusing nor can I upgrade my equipment, and around 3F of Daedalus I start running into demons that smash my ass in. I know this might sound like a "no shit" thing but I just wanted to make sure if I wasn't missing something. I always feel like a shitty player for grinding in RPGs for some odd reason, which is why I don't play too many of them.

God in SMT is the Great Will who's primarily function is to oversee the process of Creation. In order to facilitate creation, Kagutsuchi is created, who judges Reasons which become the foundation of Law in a newly created world. This is what Nocturne is about.

YHVH is the manifestation of the Great Will within the world itself, and is probably what becomes of the supporter of the reason which was used as the world's foundation. This is more or less what YHVH is talking about when he says people will always call him back into existence despite Aleph killing him.

In strange journey YHVH is not really present, possibly because the recreation of the world in the neutral ending of Nocturne uses a reason of freedom and the upholder of the reason (the demi-fiend) returns to his life as a human. The various antagonists including Asherah and Orcus are gods who were cast down by YHVH earlier in history.
>>
>SMT2 = aleph kills yhvh
>Raidou = YHVH apparently controls fate, and wanted to be killed.
>SMT3 = the angels, including gabriel, are not only now chaos, but you see them bitching about kagutsuchi, calling it an arrogant god the way chaos demons do. It still claims to be part of the great will. Lucifer is neutral for some reason, but the remake makes him chaos again. Its basically a giant clusterfuck where everyone, including YHVH (despite not being present) acts out of character, and no justification is given.
>SJ = random godesses who are never seen again claim to be the real primordial powers, and claim that YHVH is marduk, who overtook them and banished the primal chaos. What exactly are angels even, if there was a time before yhvh was in charge? Do fallen angels even make sense in that context? If the fallen angels in nocturne were on the side of law, why weren't they just regular ange... oh wait, the angels were chaos. What's more, if yhvh was banished in SJ, why did no one seem overly concerned about this? They don't even mention freeing him on law.
SMTIV = none of that shit was ever mentioned again. Rehash some elements of I and IIs plot

No, it's explained. He's torn apart by mem alpeh('s) and loses his form and powers. In an NG+ quest, you save a Metatron who tells you he'll eventually become YHVH again once he gets his power back

No it doesn't you stupid fuck. The white showed you possible worlds.

Just because some alternate universes exist doesn't mean all of them do. This is how splitting universes are always treated in games that have them.

>it's basically a giant clusterfuck where everyone acts out of character

Not really. Law and Chaos are less meaningful in the vortex world. The conception is a chaotic act, but the recreation of the world is a Lawful one. Out of chaos is born law. This is why many angels support chiaki. It's not that she's chaos, it's that they want her Reason to become Law.

The TDE may be hinting that Lucifer is trying to do what Hikawa did on a larger scale. Overturn the current order of the universe in a chaotic action for the purpose of reordering it under his direction, as a new law.

That's not Metatron.

That is the weakest piece of YHVH who could only take Metatron's form after you beat Alilat and he absorbs the piece she guarded.

It was the mothers as a united force that struck YHVH down when God and mankind abandoned each other because He's a dick.

The Three Wise Men for those who don't know are spirits who are one with the earth and are implied to have an obligation to Mem Aleph. One that they have abandoned to aid the Law Faction. They are not three of the four Archangels.

This was never even hinted at, much less confirmed. If yosuga was created then that just means a world like that exists. It doesn't mean that in that world that's what "law aligned" now means. If it was, then games with alignments would have them shift around much more than they do.

It does seem odd what happens with the individual gods though. Do they rule as themselves? Or do they merge with yhvh? It wouldn't really make sense to say noah "rules" anything.

Conception is God's way of allowing humans to re-create the world.

So i think that even shitty evil looking reasons like Shijima and Yosuga are in this case on the side of Law,because they follow something.

>>
>>79625607
Actually it is.

Kagutsuchi says in the freedom that they will have a set future, meaning fate is predetermined and all actions are part of fate, while condemning Freedom for spreading only darkness and chaos where the future is not predetermined.

>>79625690
No they mention that there were civilizations with creatures other than humans that existed on the earth in the past, but their decadence and ruining of the earth led to the Schwarzwelt to appear in the past and wipe them out. They have existed beyond time and are one with the earth.
>>
>>79625014

Depending on how closely it's based on the kabbalah YHVH would be God because God is indivisible, YHVH is just the manifestation of God within the physical realm, where the Great Will can't be because it transcends time and space.

In the demon ending, in which Kagutsuchi can't fulfill its purpose of Creation, Lucifer congratulates the player on making the chaotic choice of creating a millenium kingdom for demons. The only time metatron really gets pissed at you is when you go into further and further kalpas, straying further from the path of creation.

>>79626007

I'm pretty sure they mentioned being members of that race themselves, either at the first attempt to escape from eridanus or upon arriving in Horologium but I may have just thought they implied it when they didn't. Where do they mention being one with the earth?

It helps to understand it better if you know about how God is seen in the kabbalah, which also creeped into cao dai, which is an eastern mix of christianity and buddhism.

In the kabbalah, God's "true form" before manifesting in any universe (including spiritual universes) is the infinite light or ein sof / ohr ein sof. This is seen as so abstract and impersonal, and beyond comprehension. Its not really a person, and its questionable whether it even has sentience. This relates closely to some theologies which say that God cannot have any "attributes."

So YHVH, or god's "body / form" is seen as an avatar / emanation of the ohr ein sof, but which is also God itself. Whether it can be interpreted as partially a different entity or not is a bit vague. But at any point its noted that the form of God that has a mentality that is even able to communicate with limited entities is fundamentally lesser or different than the true infinite aspect of God in his totality. And is limited, and so distinct from the unknowable infinite, but is still God in that it is moved by ebing filled with the infinite light like a vessel.

Its uncertain what the great will is in universe, but it appears to have a relation to yhvh that is similar to this. Yhvh is the emanation of the great will, and when being dressed by lesser entities for all practical purposes is considered equivalent to it. But when being killed he still notes that even if he dies the great will exists, and will recreate its embodiment, which is him. Sometimes the great will is hinted as not necessarily being infinite, but as an embodiment of the collective of minds wanting order.

Humans are necessary for the creation of new worlds because they're apparently the only ones who can have a Reason within the vortex world. This isn't necessarily the only type of creation that takes place, the lady in black mentions there are various ways that Kagutsuchi rises and falls in the amala universe. She doesn't mention whether or not humans are necessary for creation in other kinds of circumstances.

Hikawa also brought about the conception because it was inevitable, and he wanted to hasten it and control it. So even without someone like Hikawa to do it, it does seem like worlds are bound to come to an end through the natural order of things.

No its not you retard. Law isn't defined as "anything yhvh allows." Nocturne even admits that in the past the great will tried neutral, but decided it wasn't working out. Neutral wasn't randomly law then. And in IV mastema claims that neutral is yhvh's true will. The reason alignments weren't mentioned in nocturne is that the things that happened don't neatly fit into them. They even described all the characters as acting a little chaotic, which would be odd to say if they all wanted law endings.

When mem aleph was in charge in the past, that wasn't "law" then either. Law doesn't just mean whoever is in charge. ITs a specific area of ideology. If it wasn't, then it would be impossible to not be law since whoever wins would count as law.

That is not what he tried. He went for Freedom and he admitted that was a mistake. Now he only wants the three Reasons and condemns the Freedom route, wanting to kill the Demi-Fiend for being drunk on freedom and choosing the path like Lucifer.

Retarded contradictory side games don't really override the plot as it was made to exist in its original game.

>>
>>79627163
>since whoever wins would count as law.

Whoever has the strongest Reason in the vortex world gets to make their world. If their reason doesn't matter because Law is immutable, then there is no point to Reasons in the first place. If there Reason DOES matter, which we should assume by virtue of them being a requirement for creation, then it's safe to assume that for that world that reason is the foundation of Law.

In nocturne, Law itself is equated more than any other attribute with creation, pure and simple, while Chaos is associated with destruction.

You can trace the shift from chaos to law with hikawa. A member of the cult of gaea, he brought about the end of the world (a chaotic act, as described by the game itself) because of how he views humanity's relationship with God should be, which is the foundation for what he would enforce in his Reason.

And its not meant to be Neutral as people think it. Its about freedom, a world where people can choose to walk their own path. Even earlier dialogue between Hikawa and Yuko was about how the old world had plenty of freedom, yet she still wanted to change the world.

The Demi-Fiend walked a path that Lucifer also walks, and this is mentioned by both Lucifer and Kagutsuchi. For the three Reasons that Kagutsuchi welcomes, Lucifer welcomes the Demi-Fiend for the three paths that reject His will.

Are you playing word games? Neutral is often described as freedom. They alternate between saying that in neutral you can decide to live whichever life you wnat, and in chaos saying you can do anything.
>>
>>79628109
You mean that bullshit Drama CD?

Yeah apparently Lucifer made some original character who is a wimp and wants to bone Chiaki but is too much of a pussy to do it into a Demi-Fiend as a scapegoat.

Then he dies like a bitch against Kagustuchi just as Lucifer planned and Lucifer knew beforehand which path the true Demi-Fiend would take. I don't remember if it's Freedom or TDE. Meaning he knew all along what would happen and helped him out.

Creation = Law side
Destruction and End = Chaos side
Freedom = Neutral side


At least in nocturne.
I'm not saying that Law side doesnt have destruction.

No Chaos is associated with freedom. Demons take it to the worse possible extreme and go for world of STR.

>>79628125

I think humanity is a pretty intrinsic aspect of neutrality and although the "freedom" reason in nocturne implies the demi-fiend is following the path of Lucifer, I think there's a difference in the two cases because of the fundamental difference between then Demi-fiend (who is choosing humanity) and Lucifer, who is a demon. Lucifer wanting no being dictating the actions of all demons (like the great will perhaps) and the demi-fiend wanting no being dictating the actions of all humans aren't quite the same thing, in my opinion. It's the only ending where he seems to willingly give up his demonic power... or at least hide his power level.

What a compelling argument. Go back and play more of the games.

The Demon Ending feels like a Neutral ending. The Demi-Fiend is too much of a coward and lacks the willpower to pick/defy the reason system. He just beats them and has no idea what he wants to do.

Then Kagutsuchi leaves out of disgust and doesn't even fight him because that is the worst kind of Neutral.

Kagutsuchi himself says Freedom only brings about darkness and destruction and in the game they make it clear darkness = chaos with the Lady in Black's mentioning the eternal battle between Light and Dark.

Okay bear with me.

For what purpose were we created if we are so imperfect and shallow in comparison to God?

I really love the concept of the Demon Summoning Program

If a human performs a demon summoning ritual, something could very easily go wrong and fuck it up. But if you put the same ritual into a program, it'll perform it correctly almost every single time
I just think that's really really cool

Thanks Lori

>>79628636
Uh no that's not what he was doing.

The loser original character do not steal Demi-Fiend was too much of a whiny little bitch and turned into a true demon right away and sucked. Even his own Pixie thought he sucked.

Lucifer supported the playable Demi-Fiend from the shadows and used the loser Demi-Fiend as a scapegoat.
>>
>>79628852
So we could worship Him

>>79628837

It's close to the neutral ending, separated only by your answers to Aradia's questions, but Lucifer himself describes it as chaotic.

I think the freedom ending involves balancing the rejection of heavy-handed law through the fully formed reasons while also balancing the chaos out by supporting Aradia as a demonic sponsor, a goddess who was created by humans.

Except you ignored the rest. Chaos is associated with freedom. It's an indisputable part of the series, but demons who represent the faction take it to the worst possible extreme. Just as the angels take order to the extreme.

And as such there are games where chaos represents other things, such as being true to one's self even if that means hurting others like in King Abaddon and choosing to reject and oppose God like in Devil Survivor.

I'm not going into the other games because >Devil Children
>canon
>>
>>79628837
Freedom ending = The path of Lucifer,followed by a human.A different kind of Chaos disguised as Law.CREATION becomes stagnant once again.

Reasons ending = The Reasons become Law,despite being chaotic in a way.The will of God allowing humans to shape the world to their liking,despite the chaos it is CREATION.

Demon ending = Reject everything but you're a weak little shit so you're not leading the armies of hell.

TDE = Absolute chaos.The destruction of everything that has something to do with Law.THE END of CREATION


In the end to get the supposed good ending(neutral) you follow the footsteps of the evil angel and deny creation.

Am i right?

Plenty of Gods are born from human belief. Plus she abandons Yuko and ditches Nocturne for another world as she is a Goddess who cannot bring Freedom to persecuted witches who worshiped her.

It wouldn't be called the unanswerable question if it could be answered. We may never know. We can only walk in the right direction; There's no telling how far the path leads.
>>
>>79629431
To be honest I don't really want to see Freedom as either Neutral or Chaos, but rather somewhere in the middle of both.

And TDE sounds right. The order of the universe that perpetuates the endless cycle of Law vs Chaos and death and rebirth ends.
>>
>>79628852

>>79629523

This may be the type of creation the neutral ending is supporting then, the ability for humans (since neutral is human centric) to create their own deities when they need them, but to reject them when they are not.

>>79629690

Freedom is the apparent middle.

Your actions are chaotic because you reject Creation,but the world you bring back has a certain degree of law.People are free to do what they want without any deities or demons manipulating then.
>>

>>79629690

I don't know if lucifer's goal is exactly the end of creation. It wants to stop the divine will, but in the normal demon ending Lucifer comments on the protagonist creating a "millenial kingdom for demons." Lucifer may be trying to take control of the power of creation for his own ends.

I guess it depends on if the universe as a whole follows the same cycle of creation and destruction as the worlds within it.
