You know, seeing your dedication to obtaining all the Karma Rings makes me think about how most Let's Plays back in the day never really did side content, let alone 100% completion.
@@jackleveille9319 It's not likely I'll get them all until the final superboss, but I reckon all the grinding I'll be doing will get me enough money for the gacha.
heat's in-battle quotes are still in japanese, so unfortunately he will not be taking ownership of anyone's asses in this game. ALSO, the laser from cielo's mouth might also be a reference to the first game when he shot off bat's wing to save sera at destiny land.
Time to go to the sun ...this time literally madame is literally th dude who arrive at the party without getting invited...why is she there really is a question Also i really love how the hindu mythology that this game rappresent. Cielo has the best dialogue at the start of the dungeon; i would have literally stand there and said ....dude why are so chill.I love Cielo. Today episode can be called core shield are made of paper or something worse with how many we use today.
3:11. This is a sad moment and all but anyone noticed they both died in a Fire, aka the weakness of both their Demon Forms. 4:40. Huh, and here I thought you needed Polymerization to summon Fusion Monsters. 10:35. Whose menu portrait has a Thousand Yard Stare that creeps me out. Seriously look at those eyes. Those eyes have seen some s**t. 11:50. I know it's thematic and symbolic that Heat is back and the OG Embryon are all back together but I really wish the game let you keep Roland, even if you unlocked Heat. Why can't we have 6 Party Members for the final dungeon? If you're going to go through all the trouble of playing both games, then I don't see why we can't have both. 18:00. *sniff* *sniff* You smell that? It smells like a Final Dungeon Boss Rush. 39:00. I guess this is where Athena was during The Answer/Episode Aigis, chilling on the Sun.
@@bradleyharris774 4:40 Perhaps Seraph to my comment's discredit is contact fusion. 11:50 I do as well, but I'm guessing this way it isn't super punishing for players that for whatever reason played DDS2 before DDS1 or were unable to do data transfer 18:00 Megaman time 39:00 Something fun you might not have noticed Pallas Athena Palutena
Congratulations! Your Sera and Serph evolved into Seraph! ...Sorry, i don't have a better joke- 21:03 "all the rings I have left are either gatcha or on the sun" Lmao- Also, damm- the BGM for the sun dungeon is so good! 39:08 Aigis must be here somewhere...
10:42 Ardhanarishvara is a symbol of the cosmic balance between the masculine and feminine principles. Both Shiva and Parvati together symbolises the harmonious interplay of opposites and the essential unity of all things. Ardhanarishvara also represents the ideal of perfect balance and harmony, both within the individual and in the cosmos and worshipping them can help one achieve inner balance and transcend the limitations of the material world. That last bit links in well with Seraph being awakened after leaving the material world and making it to God's domain of the Sun. 23:03 These gestures with the hands are known as Mudras and are symbolic gestures used in things like ceremonies and dances. That gestures looks like the Katakavardhan Mudra which is used to express marriage and worship. Since it signifies a union between two people, it makes sense for Seraph to use. 46:41 Prana is the Sanskrit word for breath, life force or vital principle. In Hindu literature, Prana is sometimes described as originating from the Sun and connecting the elements which is oddly fitting for this game. While using Prana Beam, Seraph is performing another Mudra which looks like the TriPataka Mudra and that symbolises a couple of things including fire flames, Indra's thunderstorms and the Vajra weapon. 52:08 Om Mani Padme Hum is the same mantra used on the game over screen. It relates to lotus flowers which happen to be the flowers that act as chests in this dungeon because the lotus flower is the Hindu symbol purity and spiritual fruition.
Upon literally dying in a fire failing to stop God from pirating all of Planet Earth and going through a cutscene that syncs up to "Live and Learn" from Sonic Adventure 2 far too well to be mere coincidence, we gain access to a protagonist with no weaknesses, the fun kind of they/them pronouns, and because we were a well behaved Serph in both games, Heat O'Brian (seriously, someone had to CHOOSE to name him Heat), and most importantly, access to the final dungeon, AKA the last 1/3 OF THE ENTIRE GAME.
23:05 Chainsaw Man! (Seraph's beserk form shows it much better) 51:54 He's gotten enough ice already during the fight. Thanks for showing the exclusive scenes when you have Roland for the final dungeon, I haven't been able to find those online.
23:05 Actually yeah it's kinda that. It's so ironic that Roland is meant to be the DEFAULT option and yet he's so rarely used in online footage, because everyone who records this game knows the secrets.
20:50 A weird situation of "Oh no! Johnny died! ...Yay! Johnny died!" Also, Rest in Peace to Ken Page who was Oogie Boogie's VA from Nightmare Before Christmas and reprised his role for any videogame appearances like those in Kingdom Hearts (much like Jack Skellington's VA).
And now... we enter the Sun. As well... two become one. Heat being playable as an unlockable character with a file transfer is something I kind of expecting, but it is still pretty cool. Did not expect the secret skills, though. 18:01 Did someone say Boss Rush?! 20:41 Johnny is one darn committed salesman. Even in the afterlife ON THE SUN, there is STILL gambling! 31:40 "The ultimate power... Lesbians!" Did not expect to see Pallas Athena as a regular enemy. Harley in Quantum Devil Saga: Becomes a blob monster that consumes everything in the Junkyard. Harley in Digital Devil Saga: Completely walled by Fire Shields.
Two become one, and they combine their HP... wait, that's Advance Wars. Heat's kinda sad in that he's almost identical to Roland, just with a different weakness/resistance. But it's still nice to have him back. The secret skills are cool though. 20:41 Not even death will stop his serious business. 31:40 Girimekhala is a homophobe, I guess, since he's weak to it. Just casually three Athenas. It's pretty cool to see her as a regular Demon, though. Now if only Jeanne D'arc appeared in more games. (Yes, she's weak to fire)
I can already see "CAMAZOTZ THE REVENGE" coming if he returns for this final dungeon too Gotta love those 20 years later sequel or reboots for a franchise
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice took me by surprise, I don't know how good that movie is and never saw the original. Totally agree that Gladiator didn't need a sequel, though.
4:48 Yeah that happened 5:04 Hell yeah everyone is back baby let's go. 7:57 Fuck yeah 8:32 Alright the Og squad is finally back wooo 9:49 Nice 9:52 Of course he gained Lupa's power 9:58 Weird name but I don't mind 10:15 and its as long as the final dungeon in Pokémon xd gale of darkness 10:42 the ultimate temporamce arcana persona from p5 that's cool 12:40 Heat not being in the final dungeon feels lame 13:30 As Ryuji once said "now That's power" 14:05 Yeah our choices pay off in the best way possible 15:02 So Gale got his own version of burning petals 20:42 Of course thanks merchant 22:55 kingu? 24:18 Wow 25:28 So basically the omnipotent orb. 30:37 Hi Mara's personal taxi. 31:44 Wow this is the first time I've ever seen you support a lesbian ship wven if sarcastically 33:05 Hi son of Isis. Horus vs seth sounds cool a flaming bird vs a dragon thats neat 36:33 that sucks 39:04 Pallas Athena? So it's not actually Athena? Well Athena is also the goddess of hubris if any piece of greek mythological media would have you believe. 42:21 Cielo,Heat use thunderbolt. 46:40 Bang. So we are basically Makima from chainsaw man. 48:02 So every digital devil saga one boss is back? Great. 51:55 okay that's funny 54:36 ohh bat rematch. Argila should be in that fight
1:00- Good indeed. Imagine if she didn't and for whatever reason, the recovery password process took like a day or something to get. We'd be screwed then. 3:17- Thank goodness we were transferring our data and not just trying to communicate there, or that shot of them burning in the fire would have made for a depressing final image for our adventure here. 3:56- Though with how we are now, it's a one way trip and like Sera says, we need to make it count. 4:48- So that wasn't on my bingo card. Didn't think the two would fuse. 5:04- *Cue Smash Bros Ultimate theme* 5:18- Wait even Cuvier is here?! Angel too? Didn't think they would be given their part in Sera's mistreatment, but I guess their data here might be able to redeem those two. That or just be canon fodder at worse; Either works if it means we can still save the day. 6:48- ... And it is only now thanks to CAT! that I realized I completely misread the video title for the past nearly seven minutes. 7:15- So technically RIP Serph? Or will it be RIP Serph AND Sera and we're left with Seraph? 7:28- Comerades... And Cuvier and Angel. 9:07- Dang, kind of hoped they would be party members for the final dungeon. 10:13- That it is. Can't think of any other games that even take place on the sun, let alone depict it like this. 11:38- Partially afraid that you'd say that, but the cutscene already shot down my hopes of having Roland back in the party. Technically Heat needed screen time more as he hasn't been playable at all yet (save for his "real" self helping Serph), but I kind of wished we got Roland back as a member too. Curse you arbitrary limit for five maximum party members in this game. 11:53- Oh shoot, he could have been missable this entire time?! So that's what all of those choices were for. 12:18- Oh we can still have Roland. [12:48- Okay good, I was worried Heat would demoralize Sera/Seraph if we didn't choose him by getting Roland instead, but I like how the justification here is handled of like how Roland said, Heat being a bit too hard on himself.] 17:36- On one hand funny, but on the other, I'd be tempted to slap him given how much his death hurt and the whiplash that remark would cause. Xp 19:36- But will is be useful this late? Unless the final dungeon takes up half of the playtime of this game, will we even have enough time to master it and actually get use out of it? 20:46- Wait, when the F^^^ did Johnny die?! No, not even him! At least he's here to help us and justify why the heck there's a shop on the sun. 23:25- Also kind of surprised he's in this game; I only ever seen him be in SMT IV/IVA for the games I've played. Also I like his model here and makes me like this design a bit since I was never a fan of how they looked at all in IV/IVA despite using the same design. 32:36- YEAH! Sarge made it out of the Junkyard too! 39:09- Nice seeing Athena since I remember using her as a demon in IV/IVA. 45:29- Klingy was indeed cheaping out on Cielo. 49:05- That was literally over have his health, my goodness! Man, first time he's seen in eons, Harley STILL can't catch a break. That poor man. 49:29 / 49:45- Wait... *Sees the 2,100 damage we did at the latter timestamp and is confused about how Harley's not defeated* Hold on, didn't we do 1,705 damage earlier? That plus the 2,100 should have ended Harley. How is he- WAIT. *Goes back to the former time stamp* My goodness, our frikin repel fire healed him for over 1,700 damage, undoing the damage we did to him earlier, hence why he survived that 2,100 damage hit. That's hilarious; Didn't even know repels worked like that in this game if you absorbed the element being repealed. LMAO 50:19- And now that's 2,400 HP restored from that one. We've effectively have both killed and revived Harley at least once each at this point with the HP he's both lost and absorbed. Harley's suffering finds new ways to be prolonged. 52:00- Oh, did he pass away too recently? Man, the last month or so has been awful with the voice actors we've lost. 53:13- Wasn't she brainwashed by real Serph, not just manipulated? 53:26- Anyone else getting Sub Space Embassy vibes from this door in the crack of reality? In others, a lot since last time. First, given it's now October and I have some games on my Switch to play for Halloween season, I think I'm going to take a break from Battle Brothers for a bit as to avoid burnout there. Don't worry, the brain rot will return as quickly as it did before probably. But for Command Mission... A lot, both good and bad. First off, cleared out Chapter 8, which more or less held up as I remember it being, save for some oddly written/delivered lines for this game's standards and some backtracking after you beat its main boss. It was also the first time I got to use the Unlock Limiters, the items I grinded up... To learn they can fail being used, so I'll have to figure out what exactly causes them to fail (not sure if I need to buff first or if buff items have a chance to fail in general if used on yourself, IDK). I at least got more use out of them later. After that and a surprise boss battle, we're now on the doorstep of Chapter 9, where... I made a horrible mistake. So in the Eternal Forest, there's an enemy that can drop a weapon for Zero that would be a major upgrade for him... And I didn't get it since it was a 1% drop (boosted to 25% via Good Lucks) despite wasting five hours of my life on it... Needless to say, that sucked. Even more so when I looked at his best weapon choices for this point, he'll get something later that basically invalidates it, so that became even more pointless... However, determined to do something meaningful after that waste of time, I decided to head back to the Chapter 3 area, unlock a door to an optional area, and face off against a scourge of my childhood that I could never beat; Rafflesian. Just some random lady giving a secret lesson to her two helpers for dancing, got annoyed we walked in, effectively treats it like a bad hot spring moment (as much for an E Rated game anyway), and tries to end us for it. She's one of the main optional bosses in this game and she's really hard. What makes her stand out is that the longer the fight goes, the stronger she gets, likewise for the Belladonnas with her (except if they get hit), so she can snowball. Even more so as she and the Belladonnas have regen, which is VERY annoying for a boss to have. Unlike typical regen passives, Command Mission's is odd on the account of it being based on current HP, so the more you have, the more you recover. The only other enemies to have this are the blob enemies and act as a DPS check I guess, but their HP isn't too big to be a problem. But for Rafflesian and her cronies, if you don't have a plan/proper DPS, she's immortal and gets to decimate you eventually. My younger self could never beat her, but with how pissed off I was after the Enteral Forest incident, I wanted blood and to finally end her. And... I managed to do so. Kind of cheated the fight with Gain Hypers, but the accidental MVP of the fight was Marino since thanks to her Hyper Form of Quick Silver, she basically has near infinite turns. The original plan was to use her Quick Silver form just to set up buffs on X and Massimo, but then thinking on the gimmick and how you can use Gain Hypers even while in Hyper form, the plan became instead to have Marino spam her action trigger as thanks to -my suffering in the many runs of the Eternal Forest throughout this game- all of the level grinding I did, now has access to Mirage Dive, her strongest move from her slots and is stupidly powerful. After wasting three Gain Hypers, she did a crap ton to Rafflesian and one Belladonna while taking other out. After that, X and Massimo cleared up the rest. And cathartically, we were allowed to do a Final Strike on Rafflesian, meaning we got to button mash her into oblivion. Defeating her gets us some items, but more importantly, X's secret second Hyper form mode; Ultimate Armor. To basically summarize Ultimate Armor... *Que every scene in media where someone/something gets decimated by a mini-gun* In short, it's broken. I might withhold it during Chapter 9, but I decided to test it out by using it on the other optional hidden boss we can do (and my first time facing them actually) since during this, we got a Key to visit an optional spot in Chapter 8; Duckbill Mole. Duckbill Mole was not long for the world with Ultimate armor in play. With him defeated, we get the other secret Hyper Mode form, but this time for Zero; Absolute Zero, another game breaker and what makes Zero good. Also with Ultimate armor, we went to the frikin Eternal Forest once last time to beat its final path. So to explain why this place has became beloathed, if you want to get every item from this place, you have to do a bunch of different path combinations each time you reach a fork in the road and do a fight for each one (and all fights repeat each time you reenter the room for each one). There are *21* different exits and you can not do them all at first since besides the story initially locking you out during Chapter 4, but this place also has end game level threats, so you'll need to come back to this place. And you have to walk to this place each time as there's no quick travel in this game. And this place is at the end of the Chapter 4 dungeon. I think you see why this place has made me take over 40 hours in this game so far when I thought I'd be done in 24. But at the very least, since the hardest path had more Belladonnas, I got to blow up more of trauma with Ultimate Armor. Next time, onto Chapter 9!
@jaredfayette2567 Time was running out fast so transferring the data was the only choice left. I did know about Seraph beforehand probably because of Ardha being the demon form. Everyone might be gone but at least they can come back as ghosts. Seems like those two might have redeemed themselves, at least a little bit. At least we get their really cool attacks instead. The Sun does look really stand out as a dungeon in this game. It is cool that we get either Heat or Roland depending on our decisions. This dungeon is probably long and enemies probably give large amounts of AP as well. The Earth did look like it got obliterated so maybe that is why he is data now. I think Kingu was in Persona 3 Portable but I don't remember using him. I like how it has all the buffs like Aigis does in the older versions of Persona 3. Maybe saving up for Null Ailments as well. Looks like Drain shields are going to be a lot better than Repel shields moving forward. Feels like manipulation to me. Subspace was great so cool to see this place is reminiscent of it. Sounds like Command Mission was very eventful with those optional fights which sounded quite interesting as well as the strategies involved with those fights and the fun new toys you got to make use of including that Ultimate Armour as well. Hopefully Chapter 9 will help you forget the pain of the forest. As for myself, I am starting to record my next playthrough being Thracia 776 as well as practicing for it. Hope that goes well since it is a bit of risk to start Thracia now since someone else wants to do it as well but I am sure my playthrough will stand out. There was also the Super Mario World video that went up today and that was obviously influenced by you taking on the GBA port. Persona 2 is going kind of nicely too but I was a bit inefficient when it came to gathering Tarot cards but I will try to make up for that by levelling up some of the new Personas I have summoned while I try to get more Strength and Star cards. I have also got quite the nice power boost with some of the new fusion spells I got like Low End Breaker which instantly defeats the lowest level enemy and I am starting to get Magarula and its counterparts and this leads to extremely powerful AOE attacks. My brother has made good progress on all of the games he has been playing and that included beating Street Fighter 6's story mode.
@@BerserkerRohan Yeah, that's probably easy to get spoiled on if you try to look up Ardha for other Megaten games and notice DDS2 on their list for appearances. True. A little bit, but I'd be a liar if I said I didn't find it odd. Cuvier I'm admittedly more lenient on given she had less time to do anything really bad, her death scene was honestly brutal (old lady getting shot in the back in the head is still unnerving, even for a villain), and she seems a lot more redpenent and realized the errors of her way since. Angel I'm still iffy on given all the hell they've caused between the last two games and subjecting their child to be manipulated by real Serph. I'll at least give them a chance, but Angel being treated as redeemed enough by the story is odd to me. The special moves do look neat at least. Forget just this game, but any dungeon like Klingy said. Can't really think of much that matches it with its looks and theming. On one hand it's interesting seeing the choices matter there, but like a few others, I do wish we got both back. I'd rather not think that the case since if Johnny's dead because of that part of the Earth got absorbed, then that would also likely mean all of the people we know back home like Fred are also gone. Noted. Also yeah, like I said before, wasn't really a fan of Kingu's design, so it lead to me not using them to, at mostly only maybe fusing them for fodder. Guess it depends on how many foes have drains for elements they also use, but yeah, Drain is certainly the safer option in avoiding fights being prolonged. Glad I'm not the only one to think they're similar. Eventful's one way of describing it. At least I got some net gain after my wasted five hours. But yeah, Chapter 9's certainly going yo be interesting. Best of luck with the practice. And don't worry, even if the two of you end up doing it at the same time, both of your works will be unique and fun to watch. Also didn't think my sudden return and finish of Super Mario World would inspire you to make that one of the Let's Check videos during the intermission between LPs. I'll have to go through my subscription feed and find that one. Sorry to hear the grind for cards didn't go exactly as planned, but I hope you at least avoided the suffering I did with the forest. Also Low End Breaker certainly sounds helpful for clearing out random weaker enemies quickly. Wonder if it works in ties too and you just instantly get rid of multiple enemies at once. Or if you can cheese the legal wording of the skill and use it on fights with one foe/one foe remaining as they would technically be the lowest level enemy by the process of being the only one there. And in case if it doesn't, then getting Magarula will take care of foes not resistant or better to it. Best of luck there. Also good to hear of your brother's progress as per usual.
@@jaredfayette2567 It is a bit strange but those two become a bit more interesting to me that they aren't completely irredeemable. I guess the closest thing would be Origin although that place was the complete opposite due to being completely mechanical compared to how organic the Sun looks. That is a bit sad to think about. I think I just fused Kingu for compendium completion since I don't remember them doing anything notable. It sounded very up and down and hopefully things continue to go up for Chapter 9. That is nice to hear. It was a fun review to read about especially with a game that I really liked in my younger years as well as a game I remember a lot more than I expected. This first playthrough is proving a learning experience but that is fine since that will motivate me to really optimise things for the next playthrough. Low End Breaker is only single target so in the event of a tie, it will pick a random target but against a single opponent, that opponent is always getting instantly killed so it cleans up random battles quite nicely. It also hasn't failed to instantly kill so I guess it works against anything that isn't a boss.
When a man and a woman love each other VERY much, the result is a fusion between the two. 1:15 To be honest, with EVERYTHING Sera has gone through, it’s a MIRACLE she still has any sanity to speak of. 1:50 At first I stopped shipping Sera and Serph because of… circumstances… and while I’m not as comfortable with it as I was before, it’s still hard not to considering that the Serph we are playing as in not the Serph who manipulated her, and secondly, Serph (AI) is technically a part of Sera. And above all else, the Serph we have been playing as, silent or not, is still his own person separated from Past Serph and Fake Serph. This Serph is his own person who cares about all of his friends AND Sera. 3:43 Serph: We’re spirits now. 4:16 Coolest cutscene in the entire Duology. 4:49 Sera and Serph’s resolutions have become one. They give rise to new being: Seraph. 6:48 it would have been so much cooler if Wendee Lee and Yuri Lowenthal’s voices were combined here. Like with Goku and Vegeta when fusing. 8:06 It must be Awkward for Heat, the man he’s “frenemies” with and the girl he has a crush on have merged together. This love triangle is unlike any other. 8:33 Official final five man band. Leader: Seraph Lancer: Heat Brawn: Cielo Brains: Gale Heart: Argilla (Former) Sixth Ranger/Replacement: Roland. 11:13 I wonder if this will be Will’s magic stat and the end of Metaphor… 12:33 Ironically enough, it would have been a good way to end off Heat’s character. Either way, I don’t either path. 24:14 Trinity Limit!
The Final Dungeon... is the Sun. No explanation is needed to describe how grandiose this is. The song is the Mantra Grid, which really hits it home after both games. Also, I guess Margaret had some good foresight when picking her arena personas, considering Ardha went to the Sun.
0:20 Makes sense they'd have one of those in Alaska. 3:38 It worked? 4:45 I guess God's data did overwhelm them? 5:07 Time for a reunion! 8:24 And now Heat finally comprehends! 10:23 That is amazing! 12:01 It's kind of sadistic that you need to make the right choices in the previous game, data transfer that save file, AND make all the right choices in this game too to get Heat back. 12:35 Heat willingly backs off to let Roland come, but he seems happy. 15:58 Jinana, you did good. 16:42 Metempsychosis is a Boss's name in a certain Xeno game. 17:40 Poor Cielo... 18:17 "I never wanted you guys to get this close, though..." Sharing a body is tough, I guess. 20:42 Johnny is just that badass that he can send money back to the planet even after he dies! 21:47 Their positions also change... nice touch. 23:32 Considering this is Tiamat we're talking about, I'm not surprised. 24:12 So many pieces of media use golden triangles... well, usually just one. 24:44 There's a second Pyro Jack rapper in this continuity! 28:05 Well... it does say "Myths..." 29:13 I like the spear throw, but I have to wonder if any deity besides Thor is known to be able to recall their weapon... 30:37 Now I feel bad for the elephant... 31:42 Whatever works! 35:14 D'awww... 39:01 I guess they retired her after Aigis came to be? 42:20 Now THAT is a great animation! 44:46 "The Arcana is the means by which ALL is revealed..." 45:03 Heat: "Am I a pretty princess?" Argilla (deadpan): "You're gorgeous." 47:53 Can anything go right for Harley? 51:40 Just be grateful you weren't sliding down a nice, big ice mountain... 52:57 Real Serph played her well... Our Argilla was a significant improvement from the start. I also like the revelation that Colonel Beck was right about her being the first devoured, which explains her emotions awakening when Harley accused her of devouring someone.
4:45 But they came out of it stronger. 12:01 Thankfully it's always the top option. 47:53 Sadly for him, no. His existence is suffering. 52:57 Yeah, we finally know what he meant by that.
Athena and Artemis' designs are usually crap. I feel Aigis' version of Athena finally nailed her. Artemis' P2 design was decent enough, but the SMTV design knocked it out of the park with the clever Sailor Moon look. To be honest, now that we have a new artist I'd love to see some new takes on the Greco-Roman, Norse, and Egyptian designs; A lot of them are overdue for a new look. Maybe we can get an Apollo that looks like one of the generals in contrast to Artemis' Sailor Scout... Or would that be Orion? Also Johnny reminds me of that Spongebob episode where Mr. Krabs makes Spongebob and Squidward literally work forever even after they die lol.
@@breloompauncher5593 I like a lot of the newer Greek Demon designs in SMT but 5's Artemis was great. Didn't she have an earlier SMT design that was literally covered in boobs, though? Glad that's gone.
@@BigKlingy All 3 of Artemis' traditional designs are nothing but boobs lol. I feel that was an ongoing theme for figures that had maternity as a prevalent quality. I'm glad we're past that era too.
@@BigKlingy She's actually considered the Greek Goddess of Childbirth, Fertility, and Motherhood; ironic as that is. In addition, she's also the patron of young girls. Conversely, Apollo is the patron of young boys.
I just realized something in P5/R we have the Sun God Cult, that's gotta be a reference to this game. P.S. Maybe the real Serph and the real Argilla had some kind of toxic relationship and the real Jinana was the one really caring for Argilla and tried to break her out of it.
@@modermousev2ofthegoldendeer They had to add challenges somehow, I guess. Also these are the only damage floors in the dungeon so no need for Core Shields past this point.
And so everyone died... Not the end! 0:35 Wow Sera looks *tired* here. 1:31 She smiles like she did to OG Serph but this Serph has concern written all over his face. 2:34 oh- it didn't work for long. 3:20 And now we do the Live and Learn, but to the Sun. 4:32 God seems to be a very very seasoned Fire user. I guess fair enough, if he lives in the Sun. 4:47 Hey, that mark feels familiar. 5:03 Everyone is here! Including Johnny and Jinana, but the heck is Margot doing here? She thinks she's on the team or something? 5:15 Darn, i thought they would make Sera and Serph talk, and not just Sera. 6:19 Hey Lupa's here too. But again, Margot. You're not in the team. 6:45 I guess Serph is the cat now. Also congrats Seraph, your pronouns are now they/them. For you are two people. 8:14 Get in here Heat, this party has needed a Fire Resist for way too long. 8:50 "we forgot to bring these two's voice actors so all you get are nods" 9:15 She did it, she died. 10:02 Who would have thought the Sun looked like *this* under all of the fire? 11:00 Reason to mash Strength on Serph when he's back to get a cracked Seraph. Instead of spamming Magic that Sera is also getting. 11:30 With the cool portrait from the spoiler save files all the way at the beginning of the series. 12:27 "You're the physical party member of this game, not me" 13:19 She needed to combo with two orbs, not so much here. 13:43 Yay she got a parting gift from her girlfriend. Ditched the Unicorns to go with her otp i see. 13:52 No Karma Soldiers wooooo! 14:27 Basically Summon: Lupa. Exactly as cool as it sounds. 16:38 He comprehends at last. 16:57 I suppose you can give exposition, Cuvier. The most useful you'll be to us, for sure. 17:33 And now Cielo breaks the 4th wall. 18:25 The shipping wars have been resolved, simply merge the two love interests and ship the result to the common person. 19:16 Ah there it is. 20:25 Haha... about that. 20:47 Even in death, gacha- i mean serious business. 21:35 At least in here, save files let you cheat the gacha since it doesn't auto save when you pull something. 22:20 Roland, you're a bit too close to the edge there... 23:29 I noticed a lack of Null Expel there. Oh Argila~ 24:09 Summon: Angel. Only here that phrase holds any power. And it holds *a lot* of power. 25:25 The good part of Masakados. Which as usual is awesome but useless since teehee almighty. 26:19 Spyglass... launcher! 27:31 To the point of including "Earth" skills in games when that's not an element. 28:50 Sounds more like Thunder, but you do you, game. 29:45 So God wanted all the annoying gimmicks to himself, i can bet he got real annoyed when the EGG became a warp maze with damage floors. 30:38 And of course, one of the two guys who repel physical. 31:38 Summon: Jinana. The otp has been completed. 32:23 Makes sense, one of the themes of this dungeon is how everyone is here. 33:17 Fitting how he is *on* the Sun, right? Also Seth huh... he's been weirdly absent. 34:50 How convinient of the Core Shield to end right after we crossed the damaging floors. 35:48 Heat is now working on not being Maidenless. 36:34 Too many elephants. 37:37 Heat very much enjoys berserk mode. Though the accuracy is an issue. 39:00 Oh hi Athena! Right, this is before P3 so you get to be a random enemy. Like Nyx. 43:05 Normal chests turn into flowers but rare chests stay the same. Neat. 44:08 This time, you fall to your counters, not Heat. 44:44 Which is appropriately named, and timed. 46:10 What's... Seraph's gun combo then? Also i don't think we ever saw Sera's gun combo either. 46:41 How specific and demanding of you, Seraph. 47:51 Oh hi Harley- WAIT HOLD ON. 48:20 Rip King Frost's version i suppose. 49:27 Erm. Maybe Repel wasn't such a good idea. 50:17 Nothing to *us*, but a lot to him. 52:57 Hi nurse Argila. Fancy seeing you here. Did you forget to get into the team shot? 53:50 The long animation and the MP cost.
1:31 Glad our Serph has actual empathy. 18:25 Yeah, it's an... interesting way to resolve things. 25:25 Given you need to beat all superbosses but the last one to get it, and the last superboss begins the battle by removing all your immunities (unlike the Demi Fiend, he doesn't kill you for having them), it's mostly for grinding. 26:16 Ah that item mode in Pokemon Gen 5. How little it got to shine. 29:45 Thankfully he's not as bad as 4A's God, who went for the most annoying warp maze in existence. 31:38 Basically. And it'll get even more confirmed in a few parts. 33:17 Seth might show up later... and he'll bring the Pain. (Yes, that's capitalized) 37:37 Yeah he was born for this. 43:05 I think it's implied rare chests were always from the sun's data. I guess. 46:10 Almighty damage, but there's only one and it requires a Drain shield. 47:51 He's... seen better days. 49:27 Yeah this wasn't good. Drain is the way to go. Or just Void. I switch to Void from here. 52:57 Yeah I'm not sure why she doesn't give us anything, or appear on the first floor, like David did.
Seraph... their existence is an even bigger spoiler than the reveal of Sera gaining an Atma form in the opening movie of this game. Also, unless I am mistaken, the gold boxes give stat increasing items along with powerful healing items such as Medical Gears. Maybe if the two Digital Devil Saga games get remade or remastered, Jinana and Lupa could join the party for this dungeon. And yes, it would mean getting special models for those two specifically for Berserk Mode/Rakshasa Mode.
It'd be really cool to have those two as party members, though Lupa's Demon form would need some Smash Ridley style size adjustment to fit on the battle screen.
The whole sequence felt pretty cheesy but it's nice to not end on a downer after being so down to earth. Seraph is kind of eerie. I was not expecting all those dialogue choices to just culminate into ghosts giving you stuff and also deciding if Heat joins you, which is what I saw the requirements for out of context like a year ago and thought "this seems complicated to make you go through two games to get" making it sound like he had this big arc of possible choices as to what he does.
Yeah here's the ultimate culmination of "this gets you something in the sequel". Heat is sadly pretty identical to Roland in role, getting him is more for lore. But Seraph Lore and Reincarnate are genuinely useful skills. (So is Pyriphlegethon , but that doesn't require any choices, just a transfer).
30:40 go on punch the elephant. 36:37 I think this is the first one on camera we've seen in AGES. 45:18 It's girimehkala's ultimate skill in 1- Ah the real ones are in there too didn't see much of them in most playthroughs of this.
30:40 "If you hit me physically, something good might happen." 45:18 Ah right, Demi Fiend. It's only "ultimate" there because you aren't allowed Death immunity.
Yeah.. Just Serph & Sera now.. Gale.. Ciello.. Sera.. Let's go.. Scene.. Hmm.. Looks good- Sera?... (Worried but she's got this.) .. Serph... Network dishes.. Huh.. !!... Mm.. The sun... Whoa.. (Their souls.. That's- Well, looks going up there..) Through the solar of the sun within.. ??... !!... Wow. & hey?! Cool. (😐..🙂) Another scene... So that's... Oh?.. everyone.. Mm... Seraph?... Ah.

The book.. Oof. Debunked.) In here, the foes R pretty formidable than even at Earth of many dungeons.. Gotta tread carefully.. Girimehkala.. Lore.. As since last time.. Ah. Argilla & Jinana.. That's very nice. Heat.. Yeah. I agree. Need a bro for a chance here. In here.. grind AP.. Makes sense it puts amount to give it to party that devours it. Horus.. Lore.. Right.. Heat's Mantra mastered. Good. Down there.. Graceful. Ciello.. Yep. Pyro Jack? Aww.. At least they'll come by in fate. Che- encounter.. triple Cus yep. Chest.. Huh.. Weird of a Solar Data of Ciello..

Heat level up & his Mantra mastered. Good. (The line.. Yeah..) Chest.. the plant. Data Node. Mantra Data.. Parties.. Hmm.. Cielo's Mantra mastered. Nice. Yeah.. Core Shields.. Eesh. Right. Serph & Sera separately don't have theirs.. In one combined.. I see. Presence.. boss.. ??.. Oh... Harley.. Again since.. (Old foes.. Better not let the guard down.. A lot stronger here than your last encounter besides him. Not alone..) Oh? Team Combo. Nice. Yeah.. Too bad for Harley.. (Novel.. I see..) &!! Down again. Sorry Harley again.. (Neo Cortex lol.) Big exp & for the mantras.. Nice. 2nd Layer 5F cleared.. so the next layer.. Chest.. Plant. Real Argilla? Oh.. Hmm.. 3rd Layer 1F.. Hmm.. I see. Lilith.. Next time yes. Flower? Eh. But not bad. Mind Charged & the skill- Yep. Large Data Node. Saved. Till then.. (Right BigKlingy.. Gotta see the old memories of the fateful encounters..)
ah listening to this was a great Relief of the annoyance of the final end point against Vanitus in Ven's Story that i kept messing the final part of it up as it showed i was level 28; and because of EXP Walker and several numbers of Retries and with EXP Walker of ending at level 32 this is on Final Mix and also Critical Mode
4:57 ay, there they are 5:05 even mergot, jenna and david are there. On another note, gale and roland can finally tell lupa how fred is doing. 7:30 and also madame margot and jenna, who really, really cant be considered comrades 8:45 jinanna and lupa becoming party members would be unbelievably cool 13:51 karma soldiers are gone.🦀🦀 Fun fact, the nahobinos va is non binary.
Does anyone know the name of the music that plays after BigKlingy shows the flashback of the princes in the big reveal episode? You know, the scene where Serph falls to his knees while Heat’s OG blonde self talks to the OG Serph. I love that music and I’m desperate to find what that music is named.
...And with this life I give you conviction; use it to stick to your principles and goals in even the direst of situations. We hail you by your new name, Seraphstar. Your old life is no more. You have now received the nine lives of a leader, and StarClan grants you the guardianship of KarmaClan. Defend it well; care for young and old; honor your ancestors and the traditions of the Atma code; live each life with pride and dignity. ...Oops, wrong series. But that is what that whole sequence with the spirits giving Seraph their power reminded me of =p Anyway, if Seraph knew what these meant, do you think they'd consider themself androgynous or bigender or something else? 11:41 Is that dead RL!Heat's version of Agni? It looks taller and skinnier than I remember Heat being, or maybe he's just standing up straight for once. 27:24 Does she have the power to duplicate herself and use the broken pair-up mechanics from the previous entry in the series?
Kinda sad that Cielo doesn't get an 11th Hour Superpower like the rest of the cast. Especially with hum pointing out his mouth lazer. Woulda made a fun combat skill. Maybe a piercing heavy Elec attack?
Apologies if I end up posting twice but I think my original comment got yeeted for some reason? But anyways what a cool looking final area. I love the way it uses colors as well. The scene leading up it was nice as well. The people we helped along the way are there to support us. Although I can't say I'm a fan of Seraph's outfit. I greatly appreciate that the version of this scene with Roland doesn't feel inherently like a failstate or that you're missing out. I'm kind of unclear on Seraph though. Is Serph still rattling around in there or did Sera completely take over?
In general, I assume the "Seraph" entity is either 1+1=2 (both components are equally represented) or even 1+1=3 (with Seraph emerging as their own personality). It's probably just a bit harder to represent that, when (our) Serph has been a silent protagonist the whole time -- Wendee Lee gets to use her Sera voice for Seraph, but Yuri Lowenthal only voiced human-Serph and it would be kinda weird if he started talking now. Someone else commented that a "fusion" made with his and Wendee's voices would be super cool to represent Seraph, which yeah makes sense IMO And yeah!! Roland proved himself a worthy member, so I can see some players personally preferring Heat but not going "oh the game is taunting me for missing something 30 hours ago"
Aesthetically, narratively and gameplay-wise (except the first part of the 5th Layer), I LOVE this dungeon. Seraph I personally see as a merger of both Serph and Sera, even if they speak with Sera's voice. They are both of them, and yet also neither... to speak poetically.
3:14 R.I.P Serph 4:48 Ok, I've been waiting for this. I play Monster Reborn to bring back Serph! Next I play Sun Data Polymerization to fuse Serph: Leader of the Embryon and Cyber Shaman Sera! Junkyardian Leader, Child of Hope, fuse together in this data stream and reveal your new self! Fusion Summon! Hero from two souls, save us all from destruction born from the wrongs of the past! Level 8! Seraph: The Ultimate Leader of the Embryon! 5:05 Finally, I play Exchange of Spirit! All those who were slain now come us which this case is everyone! 7:10 You are neither Serph, nor Sera. You are the one who will save every soul 7:43 We're gonna do this in a few years with a guy named Yu Narukami. Hopefully with less destruction 8:55 Nice to see you both 12:17 Kinda sad we can't have both 16:02 I'll do your Synchro Summon here I tune Level 5 Jinana: Leader of the Maribel with Level 4 Atma Brand! Daughter of the Earth and Sky, Shine our way out of this darkness so we may speak with God! I Synchro Summon, Level 9, Usas: Atma Avatar of the Aurora Brand! 16:15 I'll do the same for Lupa I tune Level 6 Lupa: Leader of the Wolves with Level 4 Atma Brand! Underworld Guardian, may your fire clear the path ahead so we may speak with God! I Synchro Summon, Level 10, Cerberus: Atma Avatar of the Lavaflow Brand! 16:43 Well he is the closest thing you have to a previous life 17:22 Nice to see you both saw the light 23:04 I tune Level 8, Seraph: Ultimate Leader of the Embryon with Level 4 Atma Brand! Union of male and female, lead your friends to victory for the hope of a new world for everyone! I Synchro Summon, Level 12, Ardha: Atma Avatar of the Clarion Brand! 33:23 On the topic of Egyptian Myth, Pyrron's Japanese name is Razu and made some think he's Ra 39:04 Hi Palutena! 48:01 I tune Level 4 Harley: Leader of the Vanguards with Level 4 Atma Brand! Horse Avatar, feel the emotion of fear flow through out your body till it consumes you entirely! I Synchro Summon, Level 8, Hayagriva: Atma Avatar of the Burning Stake Brand!
You know, seeing your dedication to obtaining all the Karma Rings makes me think about how most Let's Plays back in the day never really did side content, let alone 100% completion.
@@jackleveille9319 It's not likely I'll get them all until the final superboss, but I reckon all the grinding I'll be doing will get me enough money for the gacha.
heat's in-battle quotes are still in japanese, so unfortunately he will not be taking ownership of anyone's asses in this game. ALSO, the laser from cielo's mouth might also be a reference to the first game when he shot off bat's wing to save sera at destiny land.
@@bubbletea_ I get jumpscared by Japanese Heat in a few videos.
Time to go to the sun ...this time literally
madame is literally th dude who arrive at the party without getting invited...why is she there really is a question
Also i really love how the hindu mythology that this game rappresent.
Cielo has the best dialogue at the start of the dungeon; i would have literally stand there and said ....dude why are so chill.I love Cielo.
Today episode can be called core shield are made of paper or something worse with how many we use today.
3:11. This is a sad moment and all but anyone noticed they both died in a Fire, aka the weakness of both their Demon Forms.
4:40. Huh, and here I thought you needed Polymerization to summon Fusion Monsters.
10:35. Whose menu portrait has a Thousand Yard Stare that creeps me out. Seriously look at those eyes. Those eyes have seen some s**t.
11:50. I know it's thematic and symbolic that Heat is back and the OG Embryon are all back together but I really wish the game let you keep Roland, even if you unlocked Heat. Why can't we have 6 Party Members for the final dungeon? If you're going to go through all the trouble of playing both games, then I don't see why we can't have both.
18:00. *sniff* *sniff* You smell that? It smells like a Final Dungeon Boss Rush.
39:00. I guess this is where Athena was during The Answer/Episode Aigis, chilling on the Sun.
@@bradleyharris774
4:40
Perhaps Seraph to my comment's discredit is contact fusion.
11:50
I do as well, but I'm guessing this way it isn't super punishing for players that for whatever reason played DDS2 before DDS1 or were unable to do data transfer
18:00
Megaman time
39:00
Something fun you might not have noticed
Pallas Athena
Palutena
Congratulations! Your Sera and Serph evolved into Seraph!
...Sorry, i don't have a better joke-
21:03 "all the rings I have left are either gatcha or on the sun" Lmao-
Also, damm- the BGM for the sun dungeon is so good!
39:08 Aigis must be here somewhere...
I wish we could have Pokémon fusions back…
Everyone dead, thee end.
Also happy to see the fusion of shiva and Parvati being an important form for the series.
10:42 Ardhanarishvara is a symbol of the cosmic balance between the masculine and feminine principles. Both Shiva and Parvati together symbolises the harmonious interplay of opposites and the essential unity of all things. Ardhanarishvara also represents the ideal of perfect balance and harmony, both within the individual and in the cosmos and worshipping them can help one achieve inner balance and transcend the limitations of the material world. That last bit links in well with Seraph being awakened after leaving the material world and making it to God's domain of the Sun.
23:03 These gestures with the hands are known as Mudras and are symbolic gestures used in things like ceremonies and dances. That gestures looks like the Katakavardhan Mudra which is used to express marriage and worship. Since it signifies a union between two people, it makes sense for Seraph to use.
46:41 Prana is the Sanskrit word for breath, life force or vital principle. In Hindu literature, Prana is sometimes described as originating from the Sun and connecting the elements which is oddly fitting for this game. While using Prana Beam, Seraph is performing another Mudra which looks like the TriPataka Mudra and that symbolises a couple of things including fire flames, Indra's thunderstorms and the Vajra weapon.
52:08 Om Mani Padme Hum is the same mantra used on the game over screen. It relates to lotus flowers which happen to be the flowers that act as chests in this dungeon because the lotus flower is the Hindu symbol purity and spiritual fruition.
As always, thanks for the Hinduism info. Atlus clearly did their research for 23:03.
Upon literally dying in a fire failing to stop God from pirating all of Planet Earth and going through a cutscene that syncs up to "Live and Learn" from Sonic Adventure 2 far too well to be mere coincidence, we gain access to a protagonist with no weaknesses, the fun kind of they/them pronouns, and because we were a well behaved Serph in both games, Heat O'Brian (seriously, someone had to CHOOSE to name him Heat), and most importantly, access to the final dungeon, AKA the last 1/3 OF THE ENTIRE GAME.
That's a sentence. Also wow, I need to put Live and Learn over this. I'd imagine it DOES sync up.
I see we have the "I go by gender neutral terms not just because if me being non-binsry, but I have 2 people inside of me" with seraph.
It makes sense, it’s male and female characters fusing together.
Ardha the ultimate persona of Temperance in P5 which is the perfect pick for ultimate Temperance arcana
Balancing of opposites is the entire point of that arcana so yeah, fits very well.
Every episode this game blows my mind. Story is pretty good, looking forward to seeing how it ends
DDS has probably my favourite story of the SMT spinoffs, only Devil Survivor 1 comes close.
23:05 Chainsaw Man! (Seraph's beserk form shows it much better)
51:54 He's gotten enough ice already during the fight.
Thanks for showing the exclusive scenes when you have Roland for the final dungeon, I haven't been able to find those online.
23:05 Actually yeah it's kinda that.
It's so ironic that Roland is meant to be the DEFAULT option and yet he's so rarely used in online footage, because everyone who records this game knows the secrets.
20:50 A weird situation of "Oh no! Johnny died! ...Yay! Johnny died!"
Also, Rest in Peace to Ken Page who was Oogie Boogie's VA from Nightmare Before Christmas and reprised his role for any videogame appearances like those in Kingdom Hearts (much like Jack Skellington's VA).
R.I.P. Ken Page, way too many deaths took place this year, but September has been the worst of it.
And now... we enter the Sun.
As well... two become one.
Heat being playable as an unlockable character with a file transfer is something I kind of expecting, but it is still pretty cool. Did not expect the secret skills, though.
18:01 Did someone say Boss Rush?!
20:41 Johnny is one darn committed salesman.
Even in the afterlife ON THE SUN, there is STILL gambling!
31:40 "The ultimate power... Lesbians!"
Did not expect to see Pallas Athena as a regular enemy.
Harley in Quantum Devil Saga: Becomes a blob monster that consumes everything in the Junkyard.
Harley in Digital Devil Saga: Completely walled by Fire Shields.
Two become one, and they combine their HP... wait, that's Advance Wars.
Heat's kinda sad in that he's almost identical to Roland, just with a different weakness/resistance. But it's still nice to have him back. The secret skills are cool though.
20:41 Not even death will stop his serious business.
31:40 Girimekhala is a homophobe, I guess, since he's weak to it.
Just casually three Athenas. It's pretty cool to see her as a regular Demon, though. Now if only Jeanne D'arc appeared in more games. (Yes, she's weak to fire)
To be specific, Pyriphlegheton and Reincarnate are the strongest attacks in the game, tied at 300 power.
I can already see "CAMAZOTZ THE REVENGE" coming if he returns for this final dungeon too
Gotta love those 20 years later sequel or reboots for a franchise
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice took me by surprise, I don't know how good that movie is and never saw the original.
Totally agree that Gladiator didn't need a sequel, though.
4:48 Yeah that happened
5:04 Hell yeah everyone is back baby let's go.
7:57 Fuck yeah
8:32 Alright the Og squad is finally back wooo
9:49 Nice
9:52 Of course he gained Lupa's power
9:58 Weird name but I don't mind
10:15 and its as long as the final dungeon in Pokémon xd gale of darkness
10:42 the ultimate temporamce arcana persona from p5 that's cool
12:40 Heat not being in the final dungeon feels lame
13:30 As Ryuji once said "now That's power"
14:05 Yeah our choices pay off in the best way possible
15:02 So Gale got his own version of burning petals
20:42 Of course thanks merchant
22:55 kingu?
24:18 Wow
25:28 So basically the omnipotent orb.
30:37 Hi Mara's personal taxi.
31:44 Wow this is the first time I've ever seen you support a lesbian ship wven if sarcastically
33:05 Hi son of Isis. Horus vs seth sounds cool a flaming bird vs a dragon thats neat
36:33 that sucks
39:04 Pallas Athena? So it's not actually Athena? Well Athena is also the goddess of hubris if any piece of greek mythological media would have you believe.
42:21 Cielo,Heat use thunderbolt.
46:40 Bang. So we are basically Makima from chainsaw man.
48:02 So every digital devil saga one boss is back? Great.
51:55 okay that's funny
54:36 ohh bat rematch. Argila should be in that fight
Guess who accidentally got spoiled on Seraph on VS Wiki of all things 😅.
Anyway Seraph’s face creeps me out it is as if they are staring into my soul.
VS wiki?? I know Death Battle used this game's final boss theme for... I think Sam Fisher vs Solid Snake, don't know if that's related.
1:00- Good indeed. Imagine if she didn't and for whatever reason, the recovery password process took like a day or something to get. We'd be screwed then.
3:17- Thank goodness we were transferring our data and not just trying to communicate there, or that shot of them burning in the fire would have made for a depressing final image for our adventure here.
3:56- Though with how we are now, it's a one way trip and like Sera says, we need to make it count.
4:48- So that wasn't on my bingo card. Didn't think the two would fuse.
5:04- *Cue Smash Bros Ultimate theme*
5:18- Wait even Cuvier is here?! Angel too? Didn't think they would be given their part in Sera's mistreatment, but I guess their data here might be able to redeem those two. That or just be canon fodder at worse; Either works if it means we can still save the day.
6:48- ... And it is only now thanks to CAT! that I realized I completely misread the video title for the past nearly seven minutes.
7:15- So technically RIP Serph? Or will it be RIP Serph AND Sera and we're left with Seraph?
7:28- Comerades... And Cuvier and Angel.
9:07- Dang, kind of hoped they would be party members for the final dungeon.
10:13- That it is. Can't think of any other games that even take place on the sun, let alone depict it like this.
11:38- Partially afraid that you'd say that, but the cutscene already shot down my hopes of having Roland back in the party. Technically Heat needed screen time more as he hasn't been playable at all yet (save for his "real" self helping Serph), but I kind of wished we got Roland back as a member too. Curse you arbitrary limit for five maximum party members in this game.
11:53- Oh shoot, he could have been missable this entire time?! So that's what all of those choices were for.
12:18- Oh we can still have Roland. [12:48- Okay good, I was worried Heat would demoralize Sera/Seraph if we didn't choose him by getting Roland instead, but I like how the justification here is handled of like how Roland said, Heat being a bit too hard on himself.]
17:36- On one hand funny, but on the other, I'd be tempted to slap him given how much his death hurt and the whiplash that remark would cause. Xp
19:36- But will is be useful this late? Unless the final dungeon takes up half of the playtime of this game, will we even have enough time to master it and actually get use out of it?
20:46- Wait, when the F^^^ did Johnny die?! No, not even him! At least he's here to help us and justify why the heck there's a shop on the sun.
23:25- Also kind of surprised he's in this game; I only ever seen him be in SMT IV/IVA for the games I've played. Also I like his model here and makes me like this design a bit since I was never a fan of how they looked at all in IV/IVA despite using the same design.
32:36- YEAH! Sarge made it out of the Junkyard too!
39:09- Nice seeing Athena since I remember using her as a demon in IV/IVA.
45:29- Klingy was indeed cheaping out on Cielo.
49:05- That was literally over have his health, my goodness! Man, first time he's seen in eons, Harley STILL can't catch a break. That poor man.
49:29 / 49:45- Wait... *Sees the 2,100 damage we did at the latter timestamp and is confused about how Harley's not defeated* Hold on, didn't we do 1,705 damage earlier? That plus the 2,100 should have ended Harley. How is he- WAIT. *Goes back to the former time stamp* My goodness, our frikin repel fire healed him for over 1,700 damage, undoing the damage we did to him earlier, hence why he survived that 2,100 damage hit. That's hilarious; Didn't even know repels worked like that in this game if you absorbed the element being repealed. LMAO
50:19- And now that's 2,400 HP restored from that one. We've effectively have both killed and revived Harley at least once each at this point with the HP he's both lost and absorbed. Harley's suffering finds new ways to be prolonged.
52:00- Oh, did he pass away too recently? Man, the last month or so has been awful with the voice actors we've lost.
53:13- Wasn't she brainwashed by real Serph, not just manipulated?
53:26- Anyone else getting Sub Space Embassy vibes from this door in the crack of reality?
In others, a lot since last time. First, given it's now October and I have some games on my Switch to play for Halloween season, I think I'm going to take a break from Battle Brothers for a bit as to avoid burnout there. Don't worry, the brain rot will return as quickly as it did before probably. But for Command Mission... A lot, both good and bad. First off, cleared out Chapter 8, which more or less held up as I remember it being, save for some oddly written/delivered lines for this game's standards and some backtracking after you beat its main boss. It was also the first time I got to use the Unlock Limiters, the items I grinded up... To learn they can fail being used, so I'll have to figure out what exactly causes them to fail (not sure if I need to buff first or if buff items have a chance to fail in general if used on yourself, IDK). I at least got more use out of them later. After that and a surprise boss battle, we're now on the doorstep of Chapter 9, where... I made a horrible mistake. So in the Eternal Forest, there's an enemy that can drop a weapon for Zero that would be a major upgrade for him... And I didn't get it since it was a 1% drop (boosted to 25% via Good Lucks) despite wasting five hours of my life on it... Needless to say, that sucked. Even more so when I looked at his best weapon choices for this point, he'll get something later that basically invalidates it, so that became even more pointless...
However, determined to do something meaningful after that waste of time, I decided to head back to the Chapter 3 area, unlock a door to an optional area, and face off against a scourge of my childhood that I could never beat; Rafflesian. Just some random lady giving a secret lesson to her two helpers for dancing, got annoyed we walked in, effectively treats it like a bad hot spring moment (as much for an E Rated game anyway), and tries to end us for it. She's one of the main optional bosses in this game and she's really hard. What makes her stand out is that the longer the fight goes, the stronger she gets, likewise for the Belladonnas with her (except if they get hit), so she can snowball. Even more so as she and the Belladonnas have regen, which is VERY annoying for a boss to have. Unlike typical regen passives, Command Mission's is odd on the account of it being based on current HP, so the more you have, the more you recover. The only other enemies to have this are the blob enemies and act as a DPS check I guess, but their HP isn't too big to be a problem. But for Rafflesian and her cronies, if you don't have a plan/proper DPS, she's immortal and gets to decimate you eventually. My younger self could never beat her, but with how pissed off I was after the Enteral Forest incident, I wanted blood and to finally end her. And... I managed to do so. Kind of cheated the fight with Gain Hypers, but the accidental MVP of the fight was Marino since thanks to her Hyper Form of Quick Silver, she basically has near infinite turns. The original plan was to use her Quick Silver form just to set up buffs on X and Massimo, but then thinking on the gimmick and how you can use Gain Hypers even while in Hyper form, the plan became instead to have Marino spam her action trigger as thanks to -my suffering in the many runs of the Eternal Forest throughout this game- all of the level grinding I did, now has access to Mirage Dive, her strongest move from her slots and is stupidly powerful. After wasting three Gain Hypers, she did a crap ton to Rafflesian and one Belladonna while taking other out. After that, X and Massimo cleared up the rest. And cathartically, we were allowed to do a Final Strike on Rafflesian, meaning we got to button mash her into oblivion. Defeating her gets us some items, but more importantly, X's secret second Hyper form mode; Ultimate Armor. To basically summarize Ultimate Armor... *Que every scene in media where someone/something gets decimated by a mini-gun* In short, it's broken.
I might withhold it during Chapter 9, but I decided to test it out by using it on the other optional hidden boss we can do (and my first time facing them actually) since during this, we got a Key to visit an optional spot in Chapter 8; Duckbill Mole. Duckbill Mole was not long for the world with Ultimate armor in play. With him defeated, we get the other secret Hyper Mode form, but this time for Zero; Absolute Zero, another game breaker and what makes Zero good. Also with Ultimate armor, we went to the frikin Eternal Forest once last time to beat its final path. So to explain why this place has became beloathed, if you want to get every item from this place, you have to do a bunch of different path combinations each time you reach a fork in the road and do a fight for each one (and all fights repeat each time you reenter the room for each one). There are *21* different exits and you can not do them all at first since besides the story initially locking you out during Chapter 4, but this place also has end game level threats, so you'll need to come back to this place. And you have to walk to this place each time as there's no quick travel in this game. And this place is at the end of the Chapter 4 dungeon. I think you see why this place has made me take over 40 hours in this game so far when I thought I'd be done in 24. But at the very least, since the hardest path had more Belladonnas, I got to blow up more of trauma with Ultimate Armor. Next time, onto Chapter 9!
@jaredfayette2567
Time was running out fast so transferring the data was the only choice left.
I did know about Seraph beforehand probably because of Ardha being the demon form.
Everyone might be gone but at least they can come back as ghosts.
Seems like those two might have redeemed themselves, at least a little bit.
At least we get their really cool attacks instead.
The Sun does look really stand out as a dungeon in this game.
It is cool that we get either Heat or Roland depending on our decisions.
This dungeon is probably long and enemies probably give large amounts of AP as well.
The Earth did look like it got obliterated so maybe that is why he is data now.
I think Kingu was in Persona 3 Portable but I don't remember using him.
I like how it has all the buffs like Aigis does in the older versions of Persona 3.
Maybe saving up for Null Ailments as well.
Looks like Drain shields are going to be a lot better than Repel shields moving forward.
Feels like manipulation to me.
Subspace was great so cool to see this place is reminiscent of it.
Sounds like Command Mission was very eventful with those optional fights which sounded quite interesting as well as the strategies involved with those fights and the fun new toys you got to make use of including that Ultimate Armour as well. Hopefully Chapter 9 will help you forget the pain of the forest.
As for myself, I am starting to record my next playthrough being Thracia 776 as well as practicing for it. Hope that goes well since it is a bit of risk to start Thracia now since someone else wants to do it as well but I am sure my playthrough will stand out. There was also the Super Mario World video that went up today and that was obviously influenced by you taking on the GBA port.
Persona 2 is going kind of nicely too but I was a bit inefficient when it came to gathering Tarot cards but I will try to make up for that by levelling up some of the new Personas I have summoned while I try to get more Strength and Star cards. I have also got quite the nice power boost with some of the new fusion spells I got like Low End Breaker which instantly defeats the lowest level enemy and I am starting to get Magarula and its counterparts and this leads to extremely powerful AOE attacks.
My brother has made good progress on all of the games he has been playing and that included beating Street Fighter 6's story mode.
@@BerserkerRohan Yeah, that's probably easy to get spoiled on if you try to look up Ardha for other Megaten games and notice DDS2 on their list for appearances.
True.
A little bit, but I'd be a liar if I said I didn't find it odd. Cuvier I'm admittedly more lenient on given she had less time to do anything really bad, her death scene was honestly brutal (old lady getting shot in the back in the head is still unnerving, even for a villain), and she seems a lot more redpenent and realized the errors of her way since. Angel I'm still iffy on given all the hell they've caused between the last two games and subjecting their child to be manipulated by real Serph. I'll at least give them a chance, but Angel being treated as redeemed enough by the story is odd to me.
The special moves do look neat at least.
Forget just this game, but any dungeon like Klingy said. Can't really think of much that matches it with its looks and theming.
On one hand it's interesting seeing the choices matter there, but like a few others, I do wish we got both back.
I'd rather not think that the case since if Johnny's dead because of that part of the Earth got absorbed, then that would also likely mean all of the people we know back home like Fred are also gone.
Noted. Also yeah, like I said before, wasn't really a fan of Kingu's design, so it lead to me not using them to, at mostly only maybe fusing them for fodder.
Guess it depends on how many foes have drains for elements they also use, but yeah, Drain is certainly the safer option in avoiding fights being prolonged.
Glad I'm not the only one to think they're similar.
Eventful's one way of describing it. At least I got some net gain after my wasted five hours. But yeah, Chapter 9's certainly going yo be interesting.
Best of luck with the practice. And don't worry, even if the two of you end up doing it at the same time, both of your works will be unique and fun to watch. Also didn't think my sudden return and finish of Super Mario World would inspire you to make that one of the Let's Check videos during the intermission between LPs. I'll have to go through my subscription feed and find that one.
Sorry to hear the grind for cards didn't go exactly as planned, but I hope you at least avoided the suffering I did with the forest. Also Low End Breaker certainly sounds helpful for clearing out random weaker enemies quickly. Wonder if it works in ties too and you just instantly get rid of multiple enemies at once. Or if you can cheese the legal wording of the skill and use it on fights with one foe/one foe remaining as they would technically be the lowest level enemy by the process of being the only one there. And in case if it doesn't, then getting Magarula will take care of foes not resistant or better to it. Best of luck there.
Also good to hear of your brother's progress as per usual.
@@jaredfayette2567 It is a bit strange but those two become a bit more interesting to me that they aren't completely irredeemable.
I guess the closest thing would be Origin although that place was the complete opposite due to being completely mechanical compared to how organic the Sun looks.
That is a bit sad to think about.
I think I just fused Kingu for compendium completion since I don't remember them doing anything notable.
It sounded very up and down and hopefully things continue to go up for Chapter 9.
That is nice to hear.
It was a fun review to read about especially with a game that I really liked in my younger years as well as a game I remember a lot more than I expected.
This first playthrough is proving a learning experience but that is fine since that will motivate me to really optimise things for the next playthrough.
Low End Breaker is only single target so in the event of a tie, it will pick a random target but against a single opponent, that opponent is always getting instantly killed so it cleans up random battles quite nicely. It also hasn't failed to instantly kill so I guess it works against anything that isn't a boss.
When a man and a woman love each other VERY much, the result is a fusion between the two.
1:15 To be honest, with EVERYTHING Sera has gone through, it’s a MIRACLE she still has any sanity to speak of.
1:50 At first I stopped shipping Sera and Serph because of… circumstances… and while I’m not as comfortable with it as I was before, it’s still hard not to considering that the Serph we are playing as in not the Serph who manipulated her, and secondly, Serph (AI) is technically a part of Sera.
And above all else, the Serph we have been playing as, silent or not, is still his own person separated from Past Serph and Fake Serph. This Serph is his own person who cares about all of his friends AND Sera.
3:43 Serph: We’re spirits now.
4:16 Coolest cutscene in the entire Duology.
4:49 Sera and Serph’s resolutions have become one. They give rise to new being: Seraph.
6:48 it would have been so much cooler if Wendee Lee and Yuri Lowenthal’s voices were combined here. Like with Goku and Vegeta when fusing.
8:06 It must be Awkward for Heat, the man he’s “frenemies” with and the girl he has a crush on have merged together. This love triangle is unlike any other.
8:33 Official final five man band.
Leader: Seraph
Lancer: Heat
Brawn: Cielo
Brains: Gale
Heart: Argilla
(Former) Sixth Ranger/Replacement: Roland.
11:13 I wonder if this will be Will’s magic stat and the end of Metaphor…
12:33 Ironically enough, it would have been a good way to end off Heat’s character. Either way, I don’t either path.
24:14 Trinity Limit!
so...the union of two has 0 years old or a addictive of both of them ages truly a question nobody knows
@@stfilo1948I’m not gonna even waste my time thinking about such questions.
Serph and Sara take the expression "Become one with your partner" to a whole new level.
The Final Dungeon... is the Sun. No explanation is needed to describe how grandiose this is. The song is the Mantra Grid, which really hits it home after both games.
Also, I guess Margaret had some good foresight when picking her arena personas, considering Ardha went to the Sun.
Not to mention the dungeon itself is just... fantastic in nearly every way. I love DDS2's endgame.
I don't kno if you mentionate it, but in the novel, Lupa nad Jhanena joined the party, but they die at a certain point
@@joaocisne556 I did back during bonus content for the first game.
@@BigKlingy going to rewatch them then
0:20 Makes sense they'd have one of those in Alaska.
3:38 It worked?
4:45 I guess God's data did overwhelm them?
5:07 Time for a reunion!
8:24 And now Heat finally comprehends!
10:23 That is amazing!
12:01 It's kind of sadistic that you need to make the right choices in the previous game, data transfer that save file, AND make all the right choices in this game too to get Heat back.
12:35 Heat willingly backs off to let Roland come, but he seems happy.
15:58 Jinana, you did good.
16:42 Metempsychosis is a Boss's name in a certain Xeno game.
17:40 Poor Cielo...
18:17 "I never wanted you guys to get this close, though..." Sharing a body is tough, I guess.
20:42 Johnny is just that badass that he can send money back to the planet even after he dies!
21:47 Their positions also change... nice touch.
23:32 Considering this is Tiamat we're talking about, I'm not surprised.
24:12 So many pieces of media use golden triangles... well, usually just one.
24:44 There's a second Pyro Jack rapper in this continuity!
28:05 Well... it does say "Myths..."
29:13 I like the spear throw, but I have to wonder if any deity besides Thor is known to be able to recall their weapon...
30:37 Now I feel bad for the elephant...
31:42 Whatever works!
35:14 D'awww...
39:01 I guess they retired her after Aigis came to be?
42:20 Now THAT is a great animation!
44:46 "The Arcana is the means by which ALL is revealed..."
45:03 Heat: "Am I a pretty princess?"
Argilla (deadpan): "You're gorgeous."
47:53 Can anything go right for Harley?
51:40 Just be grateful you weren't sliding down a nice, big ice mountain...
52:57 Real Serph played her well... Our Argilla was a significant improvement from the start. I also like the revelation that Colonel Beck was right about her being the first devoured, which explains her emotions awakening when Harley accused her of devouring someone.
4:45 But they came out of it stronger.
12:01 Thankfully it's always the top option.
47:53 Sadly for him, no. His existence is suffering.
52:57 Yeah, we finally know what he meant by that.
Athena and Artemis' designs are usually crap. I feel Aigis' version of Athena finally nailed her. Artemis' P2 design was decent enough, but the SMTV design knocked it out of the park with the clever Sailor Moon look. To be honest, now that we have a new artist I'd love to see some new takes on the Greco-Roman, Norse, and Egyptian designs; A lot of them are overdue for a new look. Maybe we can get an Apollo that looks like one of the generals in contrast to Artemis' Sailor Scout... Or would that be Orion?
Also Johnny reminds me of that Spongebob episode where Mr. Krabs makes Spongebob and Squidward literally work forever even after they die lol.
@@breloompauncher5593 I like a lot of the newer Greek Demon designs in SMT but 5's Artemis was great.
Didn't she have an earlier SMT design that was literally covered in boobs, though? Glad that's gone.
@@BigKlingy All 3 of Artemis' traditional designs are nothing but boobs lol.
I feel that was an ongoing theme for figures that had maternity as a prevalent quality. I'm glad we're past that era too.
@@breloompauncher5593 It vaguely made sense for Inanna since she's a fertility goddess, but wasn't Artemis celibate??
@@BigKlingy She's actually considered the Greek Goddess of Childbirth, Fertility, and Motherhood; ironic as that is. In addition, she's also the patron of young girls. Conversely, Apollo is the patron of young boys.
I just realized something in P5/R we have the Sun God Cult, that's gotta be a reference to this game.
P.S. Maybe the real Serph and the real Argilla had some kind of toxic relationship and the real Jinana was the one really caring for Argilla and tried to break her out of it.
With the sun literally being God... well sort of, I guess that fits.
How fitting that we're getting this right as it's October first.
26:17 It would have been fun if they Seraph take no damage from damage floors because they float.
26:02 How are the damaging floors damage you? Seraph is floating!
@@modermousev2ofthegoldendeer They had to add challenges somehow, I guess. Also these are the only damage floors in the dungeon so no need for Core Shields past this point.
Here comes the sun doo doo doo dooooo
"THAT'S DAMAGE, YEAH!"
-BigKlingy, 2024
And so everyone died... Not the end!
0:35 Wow Sera looks *tired* here.
1:31 She smiles like she did to OG Serph but this Serph has concern written all over his face.
2:34 oh- it didn't work for long.
3:20 And now we do the Live and Learn, but to the Sun.
4:32 God seems to be a very very seasoned Fire user. I guess fair enough, if he lives in the Sun.
4:47 Hey, that mark feels familiar.
5:03 Everyone is here! Including Johnny and Jinana, but the heck is Margot doing here? She thinks she's on the team or something?
5:15 Darn, i thought they would make Sera and Serph talk, and not just Sera.
6:19 Hey Lupa's here too. But again, Margot. You're not in the team.
6:45 I guess Serph is the cat now. Also congrats Seraph, your pronouns are now they/them. For you are two people.
8:14 Get in here Heat, this party has needed a Fire Resist for way too long.
8:50 "we forgot to bring these two's voice actors so all you get are nods"
9:15 She did it, she died.
10:02 Who would have thought the Sun looked like *this* under all of the fire?
11:00 Reason to mash Strength on Serph when he's back to get a cracked Seraph. Instead of spamming Magic that Sera is also getting.
11:30 With the cool portrait from the spoiler save files all the way at the beginning of the series.
12:27 "You're the physical party member of this game, not me"
13:19 She needed to combo with two orbs, not so much here.
13:43 Yay she got a parting gift from her girlfriend. Ditched the Unicorns to go with her otp i see.
13:52 No Karma Soldiers wooooo!
14:27 Basically Summon: Lupa. Exactly as cool as it sounds.
16:38 He comprehends at last.
16:57 I suppose you can give exposition, Cuvier. The most useful you'll be to us, for sure.
17:33 And now Cielo breaks the 4th wall.
18:25 The shipping wars have been resolved, simply merge the two love interests and ship the result to the common person.
19:16 Ah there it is.
20:25 Haha... about that.
20:47 Even in death, gacha- i mean serious business.
21:35 At least in here, save files let you cheat the gacha since it doesn't auto save when you pull something.
22:20 Roland, you're a bit too close to the edge there...
23:29 I noticed a lack of Null Expel there. Oh Argila~
24:09 Summon: Angel. Only here that phrase holds any power. And it holds *a lot* of power.
25:25 The good part of Masakados. Which as usual is awesome but useless since teehee almighty.
26:19 Spyglass... launcher!
27:31 To the point of including "Earth" skills in games when that's not an element.
28:50 Sounds more like Thunder, but you do you, game.
29:45 So God wanted all the annoying gimmicks to himself, i can bet he got real annoyed when the EGG became a warp maze with damage floors.
30:38 And of course, one of the two guys who repel physical.
31:38 Summon: Jinana. The otp has been completed.
32:23 Makes sense, one of the themes of this dungeon is how everyone is here.
33:17 Fitting how he is *on* the Sun, right? Also Seth huh... he's been weirdly absent.
34:50 How convinient of the Core Shield to end right after we crossed the damaging floors.
35:48 Heat is now working on not being Maidenless.
36:34 Too many elephants.
37:37 Heat very much enjoys berserk mode. Though the accuracy is an issue.
39:00 Oh hi Athena! Right, this is before P3 so you get to be a random enemy. Like Nyx.
43:05 Normal chests turn into flowers but rare chests stay the same. Neat.
44:08 This time, you fall to your counters, not Heat.
44:44 Which is appropriately named, and timed.
46:10 What's... Seraph's gun combo then? Also i don't think we ever saw Sera's gun combo either.
46:41 How specific and demanding of you, Seraph.
47:51 Oh hi Harley- WAIT HOLD ON.
48:20 Rip King Frost's version i suppose.
49:27 Erm. Maybe Repel wasn't such a good idea.
50:17 Nothing to *us*, but a lot to him.
52:57 Hi nurse Argila. Fancy seeing you here. Did you forget to get into the team shot?
53:50 The long animation and the MP cost.
1:31 Glad our Serph has actual empathy.
18:25 Yeah, it's an... interesting way to resolve things.
25:25 Given you need to beat all superbosses but the last one to get it, and the last superboss begins the battle by removing all your immunities (unlike the Demi Fiend, he doesn't kill you for having them), it's mostly for grinding.
26:16 Ah that item mode in Pokemon Gen 5. How little it got to shine.
29:45 Thankfully he's not as bad as 4A's God, who went for the most annoying warp maze in existence.
31:38 Basically. And it'll get even more confirmed in a few parts.
33:17 Seth might show up later... and he'll bring the Pain. (Yes, that's capitalized)
37:37 Yeah he was born for this.
43:05 I think it's implied rare chests were always from the sun's data. I guess.
46:10 Almighty damage, but there's only one and it requires a Drain shield.
47:51 He's... seen better days.
49:27 Yeah this wasn't good. Drain is the way to go. Or just Void. I switch to Void from here.
52:57 Yeah I'm not sure why she doesn't give us anything, or appear on the first floor, like David did.
Seraph... their existence is an even bigger spoiler than the reveal of Sera gaining an Atma form in the opening movie of this game. Also, unless I am mistaken, the gold boxes give stat increasing items along with powerful healing items such as Medical Gears.
Maybe if the two Digital Devil Saga games get remade or remastered, Jinana and Lupa could join the party for this dungeon. And yes, it would mean getting special models for those two specifically for Berserk Mode/Rakshasa Mode.
It'd be really cool to have those two as party members, though Lupa's Demon form would need some Smash Ridley style size adjustment to fit on the battle screen.
The whole sequence felt pretty cheesy but it's nice to not end on a downer after being so down to earth. Seraph is kind of eerie. I was not expecting all those dialogue choices to just culminate into ghosts giving you stuff and also deciding if Heat joins you, which is what I saw the requirements for out of context like a year ago and thought "this seems complicated to make you go through two games to get" making it sound like he had this big arc of possible choices as to what he does.
Yeah here's the ultimate culmination of "this gets you something in the sequel". Heat is sadly pretty identical to Roland in role, getting him is more for lore. But Seraph Lore and Reincarnate are genuinely useful skills. (So is Pyriphlegethon , but that doesn't require any choices, just a transfer).
30:40 go on punch the elephant.
36:37 I think this is the first one on camera we've seen in AGES.
45:18 It's girimehkala's ultimate skill in 1-
Ah the real ones are in there too didn't see much of them in most playthroughs of this.
30:40 "If you hit me physically, something good might happen."
45:18 Ah right, Demi Fiend. It's only "ultimate" there because you aren't allowed Death immunity.
51:58 You mean Lex Lang?

Oh? Team Combo. Nice.
Yeah.. Too bad for Harley.. (Novel.. I see..)
&!! Down again. Sorry Harley again.. (Neo Cortex lol.)
Big exp & for the mantras.. Nice.
2nd Layer 5F cleared.. so the next layer..
Chest.. Plant.
Real Argilla? Oh.. Hmm..
3rd Layer 1F.. Hmm.. I see.
Lilith.. Next time yes.
Flower? Eh. But not bad.
Mind Charged & the skill- Yep.
Large Data Node. Saved.
Till then.. (Right BigKlingy.. Gotta see the old memories of the fateful encounters..)
Well then... I wouldn't mind if that Ardha design was used in Persona 6, (assuming that it makes a reappearance.)
As well as the rest of the demons. I really want P5X to have a collab with digital devil saga. If they actually remaster them.
I'd pay good money for a DDS collab. Well, if it's done well.
ah listening to this was a great Relief of the annoyance of the final end point against Vanitus in Ven's Story that i kept messing the final part of it up as it showed i was level 28; and because of EXP Walker and several numbers of Retries and with EXP Walker of ending at level 32 this is on Final Mix and also Critical Mode
4:57 ay, there they are
5:05 even mergot, jenna and david are there. On another note, gale and roland can finally tell lupa how fred is doing.
7:30 and also madame margot and jenna, who really, really cant be considered comrades
8:45 jinanna and lupa becoming party members would be unbelievably cool
13:51 karma soldiers are gone.🦀🦀
Fun fact, the nahobinos va is non binary.
Does anyone know the name of the music that plays after BigKlingy shows the flashback of the princes in the big reveal episode?
You know, the scene where Serph falls to his knees while Heat’s OG blonde self talks to the OG Serph.
I love that music and I’m desperate to find what that music is named.
It's called Phantoms, not on the OST but it is on RUclips.
@@Flametix THANK YOU!!!!!
Thank you thank you, THANK YOU!!
I have been desperate to listen to that song!!
I owe you one!
@@trazomguy6022 No problem. I was personally looking for the song during cielo's dance scene for a while but that doesn't seem to be released either.
Cutscenes sometimes have great music that's often overlooked in favour of gameplay tracks. Thanks Flametix for pointing out the name.
3:20 got World of Light flashbacks.
@@greenrangerfan1993 Yeah it does look pretty similar.
Even in the Sun, the gacha is truly a harsh mistress.
YOU CANNOT ESCAPE GACHA
Seraph obtained the wild card they can now summon multiple personas
...And with this life I give you conviction; use it to stick to your principles and goals in even the direst of situations.
We hail you by your new name, Seraphstar. Your old life is no more. You have now received the nine lives of a leader, and StarClan grants you the guardianship of KarmaClan. Defend it well; care for young and old; honor your ancestors and the traditions of the Atma code; live each life with pride and dignity.
...Oops, wrong series. But that is what that whole sequence with the spirits giving Seraph their power reminded me of =p
Anyway, if Seraph knew what these meant, do you think they'd consider themself androgynous or bigender or something else?
11:41 Is that dead RL!Heat's version of Agni? It looks taller and skinnier than I remember Heat being, or maybe he's just standing up straight for once.
27:24 Does she have the power to duplicate herself and use the broken pair-up mechanics from the previous entry in the series?
I'm not certain exactly what term best describes Seraph, bi-gender is probably the closest? I feel non-binary also works.
27:24 loltakumi.
Kinda sad that Cielo doesn't get an 11th Hour Superpower like the rest of the cast. Especially with hum pointing out his mouth lazer. Woulda made a fun combat skill. Maybe a piercing heavy Elec attack?
Now that you mention it, TRUE. I guess he doesn't need one, but it would've been nice.
Are you gonna play metaphor re fantazio?
@@oberon_relic1161 Definitely. I'm still deciding whether to play the demo or wait to stream my first impressions of the full game.
@@BigKlingy the demo is just the prologue, 3 days of free time after the railroading or up to a point in the first dungeon before the necromancer
Great video
The biggest thing I dont like about Seraph's Demon form are the 2 giant triangles in the back
So Happy Heat is Back 🥲
It's glad to finally have the old crew back.
And then everyone died, the.... end?
It’s a new beginning. It’s not a death. It’s a homecoming.
@@TheJaredPunchi can hear the flutes coming through.
Apologies if I end up posting twice but I think my original comment got yeeted for some reason?
But anyways what a cool looking final area. I love the way it uses colors as well.
The scene leading up it was nice as well. The people we helped along the way are there to support us. Although I can't say I'm a fan of Seraph's outfit.
I greatly appreciate that the version of this scene with Roland doesn't feel inherently like a failstate or that you're missing out.
I'm kind of unclear on Seraph though. Is Serph still rattling around in there or did Sera completely take over?
In general, I assume the "Seraph" entity is either 1+1=2 (both components are equally represented) or even 1+1=3 (with Seraph emerging as their own personality).
It's probably just a bit harder to represent that, when (our) Serph has been a silent protagonist the whole time -- Wendee Lee gets to use her Sera voice for Seraph, but Yuri Lowenthal only voiced human-Serph and it would be kinda weird if he started talking now.
Someone else commented that a "fusion" made with his and Wendee's voices would be super cool to represent Seraph, which yeah makes sense IMO
And yeah!! Roland proved himself a worthy member, so I can see some players personally preferring Heat but not going "oh the game is taunting me for missing something 30 hours ago"
Aesthetically, narratively and gameplay-wise (except the first part of the 5th Layer), I LOVE this dungeon.
Seraph I personally see as a merger of both Serph and Sera, even if they speak with Sera's voice. They are both of them, and yet also neither... to speak poetically.
3:14
R.I.P Serph
4:48
Ok, I've been waiting for this.

7:10
You are neither Serph, nor Sera. You are the one who will save every soul
7:43
We're gonna do this in a few years with a guy named Yu Narukami. Hopefully with less destruction
8:55
Nice to see you both
12:17
Kinda sad we can't have both
16:02

@@TheJaredPunch
Thanks!
4:48 That is actually insanely cool. Now Seraph just needs a card with a novel's worth of effect text.
32:12 Give him the jack ring
@@wolfherojohnson2766 Heat does well with that, but getting him Resist Ice frees up his Karma Ring slot.
