Happy 15th anniversary to the Devil Survivor series!

To celebrate, Atlus officially put up the original soundtracks for both games on various music streaming and digital sales sites.

This is my blog and I get to post what I want, away

Peaceful days died, Let’s survive

here’s my obligatory Devil Survivor propaganda post, go play the games there actually so freaking good, additionally they’re one of the best gateways into SMT so don’t worry about that

(For context these are Ds/3Ds, play the 3Ds version, strategy rpgs/monster collectors, both games are about the world ending but the first one is more serious and has pretty strong writing, the second game takes a sci-fi B movie approach and is really comedic)

there’s a lot of characters from the two games that I really enjoy, and I want to draw eventually, but for now just have some silly stuff of the protagonist

Some more doodles, these guys never interact in canon ad both the games are separate, but still, they’re just funky guys and have their own unique personalities to me

[selfish-wanderer]

Going back to think about the Devil Survivor series, and I think that one of the things that it does best is the (sometimes not so) subtle way it talks about responsibility.

In DeSu1, the fake ending of escaping the Lockdown before the last day just gets everyone killed by a Smite. And Yuzu's ending explicitly makes the bad things extend outside the Lockdown and get worse. With her extra day giving you the chance to sort of help patch things up, but letting you screw up again.

In DeSu2, following Daichi without direction gives you a hollow version of the Kingmaker ending. The universe is free from Polaris, but now reality is just a handful of islands and an endless sea with nothing in it. With Record Breaker suggesting that the Triangulum would appear to fill in the spot anyway. And since the fate of reality itself is in your hands, you cannot advance to Record Breaker with any other route but the base game perfect ending (sort of, I know it's a separate playthrough). Which is a combination of the Kingmaker ending (the opposite of the hollow world ending), and Daichi's true route of everyone surviving thanks to your effort and having everyone's bonds be strong enough to unite against the administrator.

Additionally, the "prophets" of each game are my favorites. Both Amane and Saiduq's mindset of "I'll play my role be it with or against you" really compliments the game. Especially in how your goals almost never oppose theirs, but they still believe things have to happen in a certain way.

Megaten Funny Little Guy Tournament: Round 1 Match 15

[lunneus]

You know

thinking back, i kinda.... didn't really enjoy SMTV as much as i thought i did.

Like, i don't usually replay games anyway. but i *really* wasn't interested in replaying SMTV

mostly because there's literally nothing different until the end of the game. where there's a single dungeon left. and the dungeon doesn't even change at all, just different boss fights.

and the person you chose doesn't even survive so you can't have any meaningful dialogue there like Nocturne had. you don't get to truly see the aftermath of your choice.

i chose chaos like i usually do, but then my guy just DIES???

so like, what the fuck, then.

i still think the Devil Survivor games did it the BEST in terms of route splits and it's a damn shame i don't think anyone really played them when they came out.

in that game your choices and tiem management determined route AS WELL AS what playable characters you had. some were guarunteed, of course, but others... if you fuck aroudn and fuck up then they're dead. gone. bye. rip.

and oftne they woudl leave or join depending on your route choice. but additionally, you could try re-recruiting them if your bond with them was strong enough and you pick the right options.

game collection ramble~~~

wonder which games I'm gonna need to download a rom of and play on the computer... or play on steam assuming i buy the steam versions too...

rpgs in general have some kinda small text~~~ I hope if it does come down to me having to do that to play my games it's not a crime or something; cause as a teen emulation didn't bug me but after I got really worried and scared about torrenting stuff, I've kinda lost it for emulation too...... (I've posted about this before i think)

where do I even start with megaten? I'm not exactly that big on (or good at potentially) juggling my time with social links... but it could be fun~~~

current games I have just bc i like collecting things:

persona 1-4 golden (vita) might have persona 5 but idr i have the artbook somewhere tho~~~

devil surviviors (overclocked and 2 3ds)

strange journey redux (sadly not og cause I heard that one's better (3ds))

Shin Megami Tensei iv and apocalypse (3ds)

nocturne remaster (switch; which is garbage cause minor nit pick i like the text in the older version and the lighting, lol but also raidou in switch version i think)

devil children light book and dark book (gba) how obscure were these ones?

and that's it to my knowledge.... I think I dug through my files of (extra content) on my 3ds after looking through all the games and it says I have Persona Q data there but I don't have the game installed and bought it digitally.... guess I made room for something else and now can't redownload it if I bought it cause the 3ds servers and eshop have been dead for a while....

also had Persona 1 and the earlier games started but for some reason my vita decided to spit up a screen after my battery died for idk how long and deleted everything I had for some reason.... thx vita..... had to reformat and redownload everything ~~~

(collects games... never plays the games...... I'm also the same way with books...)

hate how rpg interfaces are kinda small~~~~ but I'm the blind one so that's a me problem~~~

rip persona q forever lost in the void bc I can't redownload you~~~

I've loved this franchise for a while~~ but haven't played any of the games at all.... Just collected the games and some stuff~~ don't really even remember how I found it tbh~~~

idk if it's a text and sight issue on my part or just anxiety about playing something new~~?? which I've just made a post on actually, lol. could be all of the above~~

might need to emulate cause as I've said on this blog; I'm disabled. Legally blind and the text in RPGs is usually too small for my good eye to read, so I'd need either emulation to read the text or to play older rpgs with bigger more readable text...

the limit of 30 tags on this website is dumb cause now I can't put the (visually impaired) tags there....

tldr; don't know where to start with megami tensei, and just wanted to share my game collection~~ of this franchise specifically, lol

i hope this post isn't near as scattered as I think it is. the bad part is if it is in fact scattered and hard to follow; I'm not even tired yet and completely competent to my knowledge....

just scatterbrained i guess~~~ idk..... and super excited to share my megami tensei game collection~~ however small it may be~~~

OMORI - Voice Actor Headcanons.

While I haven’t exactly finished this game yet, I am close enough to the end and have met basically all the characters, so I think it’s time I got around to doing my good ol’ series of VA headcanons for a game that either doesn’t have one, or doesn’t have an English Dub.

This time we’re doing Omori, a game I started playing at the beginning of this year and have fallen in love with very very quickly. I’ve been through a very painful time of my life recently and this game helped me work through it letting me know that it doesn’t matter how I grieve, just that any way I can is correct. 

And the way the characters work together in the game is also incredible, and I was eagerly awaiting to get to the point that I’m at so I could do a VA headcanons section for this. So before we get started, let me once again go two things.

This is NOT CANON. These are HEADCANONS and are unofficial. It’s just a hypothetical situation. If the characters were voiced, this is who I imagine would voice them.

Every major character in the games is included here, so there are HEAVY SPOILERS for the game’s main storylines. DO NOT READ THIS POST IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED THE GAME OR DON’T WANT TO BE SPOILED.

Without further ado, let’s get into this.

Gay Homo died in Devil Survivor 1 it seems...

[elendsessor]

tbh i don’t know when or if i’ll get back to playing desu2–strategy games are particularly draining for me when i feel as if they’re pushing too long without justification and that’s a problem i’m facing with 2.

i do want to inevitably talk about a couple more things desu2 put out there i appreciate it for over other megatens since there’s so much potential here. it’s by no means a bad game!!! it’s just too much. it’s heavily flawed. and though i see why people love it, those flaws still need to be acknowledged.

yes the gameplay improvements are amazing. yes i do think more time and effort was put into 2 than the first game presentation-wise, some of the battle improvements are much better, there are concepts no megaten would ever dare to even try and tackle at least in the pre-established format mainline is famous for, and though the writing is generally messy and contradictory, it’s genuinely entertaining at points… until day 8. we do not need a day 8 unless it’s post-game content like what overclocked did.

the problem stems the most from an identity crisis affecting the way it plays. of course it mainly struggles from its nge inspiration, but the biggest part of the identity crisis is one based in a criticism no megaten fan likes. hate to do it but imma do it—devil survivor 2 is one of atlus’s first attempts at persona-ifying the rest of the franchise. it’s a problem i want to touch on in the future so imma keep this brief.

desu2 clearly wants to be modern persona the most, judging by the fate system and how it does the cast, however a strategy game can’t pull this off without jumping major hoops. fire emblem does the social aspect better because the process is streamlined and the characters you’re made to care about usually tend to be written well unless your name is fates. (anything that has the word “fate” in the title should be enough of a red flag for either garbage fandom or garbage product just saying lol.) however, with what success persona got beginning with 3, the dev team was tasked with replicating parts of modernsona to help it be some way to capture mainstream audiences. after all, most people’s introductions to megaten will be persona, and as we all know with how journalists were with smt 5 and likely applies to the rest of the franchise due to how different it is, anything megaten that isn’t persona has no heart. with shit like the fate system being forced in, the pacing further deteriorates.

both desu1 and 2 are easy for the most part but require an ungodly amount of grinding just to build your team because money is scarce and everything is overpriced, be it in the auction or the compendium. you need demons with a certain skill and resistances? get grinding. and with what little ways to actually play around with the fusing without grinding because of the stupid add ons and expensive fusion chains and how exp you can get for demons gets significantly harder to obtain, you’re already at a strategic disadvantage. you can’t fuse mitamas without unlocking it after fucking beating the game, and even if you can, fusing elements and mitamas has a fee. this already takes up most of the experience, as this forces most battles to be either free or dlc battles for the sake of resources which ends in being over leveled, and since the ai for enemies and bosses aren’t the best, you’re already at far too great an advantage, so the mandatory combat goes by fast. then the socializing comes in. desu1 is definitely better since it cuts out the bullshit and makes so most of what you’re hearing contributes to the plot, worldbuilding, or actual development for the characters. in 2, the fate ranks affect nothing save for unlocks and maybe the occasional story relevance. you can’t skip this, as most of the options are either free battles, waste 30 in game minutes viewing an event that doesn’t affect any other function, talk with teammates that you swore you’ve seen their archetype done better before, be given info about said character that may or may not actually mean shit based on when you talk to them, have a chance to up their fate rank, and that’s it. not like you have the threat of being unable to. you can prevent anyone in death videos from dying, and there’s no consequences for choosing a route since you can re-recruit everyone except a certain alignment rep if you oppose them, not counting daichi. all that changes is the ending and if an alignment rep dies again not counting daichi. this is all the game is, rinse and repeat.

i’ve never had something simultaneously be worse and better all due to anime tropes and inspiration. it fucking hurts me. 2’s a good game, just way too big and way too focused on capitalizing on persona, neither of which i can fault the team behind it for since it was clearly an issue of ideas and expectations being thrown onto them. maybe one day i’ll power through the final day, but right now, it completely lost me.

if you want to make your game’s main campaign long, justify why it’s that way. if it’s long because of padding without a way to grip the player, your product serves as a way to waste time and money that could’ve been spent on something else.

ATTENTION ALL DEVIL SURVIVOR FANS

Atlas has released the ost of both Devil Survivor Overclocked and Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker!!!!!!!!

[furryprovocateur]

i really am doing way too much lately like rn my to-do list with video games is

get the platinum in persona 3 portable (only trophy left is finishing a playthrough as a guy, which involves just going to sleep and doing full moon events until i can get the bad ending)

get the platinum in kh1.5 remix ps4 (only need speedster and unchanging armor, which require another playthrough)

spider-man miles morales (apparently i'm like 66% of the way done with it but i also have to do NG+ for the platinum)

100% devil survivor 1 overclocked (not as tall of an order as it sounds considering i've already done 2/5 endings but the remaining endings all are the ones with 8th days and in naoya's case that's going to require a second playthrough for both the killing and non-killing titles)

100% devil survivor 2 (this is literally just finish up a few things i left unfinished in that game, mostly bonus bosses and daichi's "bad" ending)

A rank every resident evil 2 scenario (already have done leon B but because i'm in the mood i was gonna do them all again. i'm already in the middle of leon A atm.)

professor layton vs. capcom
