Crystaahhl: "You know i like smt but im looking for something new(back when she played desu) besides the usual jrpg format"
Devil survivor: I got you
Crystaahhl: "I also like tactics games with tiles like fire emblem"
Devil survivor: Youre not gonna believe this
The death site news edit is a very nice touch 👌
Pinoy's edits were perfect, but especially on the first one, the cut backs to Crystaahhl's reactions were just top tier.
"Have a nice day~" PFFFT HA!
Funnily enough, Devil Survivor was my very first SMT game back on the DS.
After that, I tried persona 4, then the other SMT games on PS2 and the rest was history.
Out of the SMT games I played, Devil Survivor was the only one that actually took the alignment concept and did something creative with it.
It wasn't as simple as "law/neutral/chaos", like so many mainline games would run with, and I'd always wished the main series would take a cue from it.
Maybe if we're lucky, and more people talk about it, we'll get a Devil Survivor 3! I can hope!
Literally me. PS2 slims were super cheap when Desu came out so I bought one to play Persona 4 and then all the other PS2 SMT games after that.
And then I had to wait 2 years for SMTIV to come out in PAL regions. That was nice.
@@Skasaha_ man SMT IV was pretty much my comfort game. hard as heck, but once you've played one SMT game you've played them all.
Only hang up was that dang map, but aside from that? GREAT game!
I donmt think i’d be happy with a DeSu3 in a post Persona 5 world. I mean, ever since that game, Atlus has been trying to cram persickety crap into mainline. I mean, look what they did to the Devil Summoner series in Soul Hackers 2, i doubt we vould get a new DeSu without persona shit stuffed into it
@@emmanuelviveros3399 I mean, nobody was asking for a Soul Hackers 2 in the first place. I personally would have preferred a new Raidou game.
As for Devil Survivor, I don't think it would be any worse than what they did with Devil Survivor 2, and that game was a pretty decent sequel, I think.
We can't know until it happens. Maybe if enough people clamor for it on Twitter, but for now it's just nice to speculate
Plus on the alignment front, Law wasn't just "Blind obedience plus genocide 50% of the time", and Chaos wasn't just "World of Stronk unga bunga" like with many other titles.
The text that scrolls when the Demon Summoning Program is booting is actual source code from the game btw lol
Devil Survivor was my first Megaten game! I was (and still am tbh) super obsessed with Fire Emblem so I played every SRPG I could get my grubby little hands on. I liked this so much I just went out and bought a PS2 to play Persona 4 and then eventually all the other PS2 SMT games right after. I played like 8 SMT games within 6 months or so, then had to wait 2 years for SMT IV to release in PAL regions. That was a fun wait.
what if the smt series is just a naoya multiverse
2:55
Why did this make me laugh really hard
14:07
Man, the editor popped off on this one
Based Gin enjoyer.
Desu actually so good
Not sure what her problem with Yuzu is, she acts like any teenager would in this situation.
I prefer mainline stories and characters
Makoto, Yukari, and Junpei(?) in the thumbnail? Finally, Persona 3 Reload
Ah yes my favourite Persona characters Makotnope, Yukarisn't, and Junpeain't.
Pink girl, Blue Mc, and Hat kid
4:05 Persona!
Naoya and Amane are like the biggest standouts for me. Usually SMT games would have their Law and Chaos reps be extremists and one-note, but these two are actually believable and can work together. It's refreshing to see a nuanced Law and Chaos dynamic.
Yes, it's nice to have a version of YHVH who isn't completely unlikable too.
What I really like about this SMT game is how the characters are their own person first, then they happen to allign with a faction after that. For example Atsuro seems to have an alignment for Chaos "rule of the strongest" via his Comp plan, but first he's a friend who'll ensure wathever he can to take care of his friends, and then he suggests a chaos aligned solution but still stands by your side wathever you choose.
Ah, I remember the streams. Crystal hating Yuzu, yet only made it through because of Yuzu
That eyebrow edit was a damn jumpscare!! 😂
It was crystaals true self
*and now she begins to burn in blue flames
"Shes fine
"It's all up to Cu Chulainn, who literally never dies."
Lancer ga Shinda would like to object
A Fate fan? Or do you just know the meme? (If you are then even though he's my favourite Lancer I actually think it's pretty funny that Carnival Phantasm made a running gag of him always dying. If not then disregard everything I just said.)
@@TekkenGirl4Lyfe I don't think most non-fate fans know Cu's real name
Now I understand why Durarara's author made de design for Cyber Sleuth lol
Ever since you mentioned your interest in playing smt games I was excited for when you would eventually get the the devil survivor games. Really happy that you enjoyed the game. Here is to hoping the a Devil Survivor 3 can be announced.
Here, here! DeSu 3 2025!
The protagonist looks exactly like Makoto Yuki, even have headphones.
Atlus protag with blue hair #256
To me it looks like KAITO (from vocaloid)
Makoto has this protag's costume in P3D
Also makes him look a lot like Laharl, the Demon Overlord.
The "perfect" SMT game where you can actually pick any alignment and satisfied by the result.
No BS like, law is "canon", neutral "better", or chaos "more satisfying", it really depends on your own personal taste, it's actually incredible.
And for once, law bros can actually rejoice instead of "yet another enslaved by higher being omegalul"
I think the game focus on the character helped that as it makes the character move toward the said alignment instead of the alignment shapes the said character
Strange Journey also has that lack of bias imo, all three endings kinda solve the problem, but they are far from perfect (and is also an amazing game she should play)
I'm not even 5 minutes in, this is the greatest Crystal video I have ever watched
My first SMT game that started me into the franchise, and what a start it was.
My brother ✋️
I can tell the editor ate with this one. Love to see it!
This is absolutely the coolest concept in the whole franchise, the way the story is presented is also one of the coolest ones.
Oh, yeah and strategy rpg gamers rise up also.
The only DeSu things I knew was that time Nico had the MC spacing out to Take On Me hopefully this will improve my knowledge
PFFFFT HAHAHA, oh wow I remember that too. XD
The editting on this had me dying.
The YHVH Brain Blast at around 46:00, l m f a o
It's so bizarre to see this spin-off duology acknowledged, but god if I'm not glad to see it. These are my favourites of the SMT games and two of my favourite games of all time ever. Great video and I'm glad you enjoyed it, Crystal!
This was probably my favorite Crystal playthrough ngl
... Haven't played Overcloked yet, only the original which was not voiced but hearing Melissa Fahn as Yuzu is just hilarious.
She voiced Edward in Cowboy Bebop and is now voicing Silver Wolf in Star Rail so hearing her going all "oh no, don't hack that device, what if we get into trouble?" is goddamned peak meta comedy.
For me, the banter between Bravely Default's Ringabel and Digimon Tamers Rika (Atsuro and Yoohoo) using COMPs provided by Adult Gohan (Naoya) is surreal. XD
Such a jam-packed voice cast, and it's so funny how many I recognise from other things.
One of my all-time favorites. Final Fantasy Tactics hybridized with Majora's Mask in the grim SMT-verse, how can I say no? So i didn't. And I loved it.
Really hope to see DeSu 3 someday with 2's problems ironed out.
The running conspiracy theory about Abel being a robot was very funny.
The editing for this video is amazing
Oh shit, Pinoy is editing now? I haven't seen him since my League days. Homie was a massive SMT head
Really hope the decide to revive this series. Especially with the success of recent tactical rpg games.
Incredibly entertaining and incredible editing work around the lost footage too.
2/Record Breaker has a nice Theme, World of Illusion, it's so good to listen to.
Thoughout all of the Megaten franchise, Devil Survivor has my favourite gameplay.
Hey is the editor the one who added the voice for email cuase my dumbass thinks the game already has a voicd actor for the emails(have a nice death)
Crystal. You have NO idea how happy I am with you playing this game. This is one of my favorite games of all time and you giving it the attention it deserves made my entire week.
53:53 That Naoya clutch moment was the best part of the playthrough ngl
Amazing video. Props to the editor, made a great playthrough even greater.
i remember first time playing. specifically mari`s bag.
if i remember correctly. you can use the bag to lure the guy who was asking for tips on hitting on girls. to his crush mari.
which saves mari. and saves keisuke from certain doom to potential doom i think. which then you can save, without sacrificing mari.
ever sinds then im interested in truly branching path. and alternate timelines and stuff.
like 999 and virtues last.
Oh my good grief, you can ACTUALLY save Keisuke?!
@diabhal216
Haha, been a while since I last played, so maybe I'm due for a replay. Knowing I can save him and Mari is kinda neat. 😅
Where is Devil Survivor 3, @atlusUSA??!!!!
Based, Devil Survivor 1 and 2 are my favorite Megaten games
Yuzu with an X lmao, I can't believe the singer lady was never playable.
Wasn't she? I remember she was recruitable.
@@Dadan-dan I only played the ds version and she wasn't playable there.
@@rachadlendar4918 Huh. That's so weird! She is the second or third most essential character for the story and she is just an NPC...
@@Dadan-dan She wasn't playable in either the DS or 3DS versions. She appears as an NPC a couple times (including in Gin's ending) but that's it.
@@Dadan-danyea she isnt playable at any point although you do have to protect her as an npc multiple times, and yes even in gins route.
she actually has unique stats so she was probably playable at some point and they just never put her in.
Seriously! Sometime Atlus really surprise us with a lot of good voice acting choice. Haru here and Yuko from the P3R really give a good voice talent. I never boring listen to them acting.
Yeeeee-aaaah! I love this game so much, it was the first SMT I played on my DS, and hoooo boy, it was a fun time! Glad you love it too!
Devil survivor was a ton of fun to play back in the day, I should try it again
Devil survivor is my first SMT and probably my favorite series. The first game is great but the second is just perfection in my opinion, easily the best smt.
“Imagine all those people who bitch and whine all day. Just take all of those feelings and convert it into power.”
I feel like she just summarized Elon Musk’s business model….
The Devil Survivor Duology is one of my all time Favorites! Such a unqiue blend of RPG mechanics, glad you had fun with this one!
Crystal said she loves tactical RPGs in the first stream of this game, but has she played Project X Zone?
Don't play Project X Zone, actually playing PXZ is the most disappointing thing ever. Whatever you have in your mind is better than PXZ.
@@Chelaxim You really expecting the game to be good? Its just supposed to be a fanservice galore type of game
Shame on you for having high expectation
@KenBladehart
I mean considering that it's made by the people who made the Xeno series sorry I expected more from fan service the game which was published by Namco Bandai...who did Smash 4. Ya know a fan service cross over.
@@Chelaxim Not all games have to have grandiose story, super polished gameplay, etc to be good
I love bunch of dumb 1$ shovelware games because most of the time, those games are funny
@@KenBladehart "Has she played this game?" imply you think it's worth playing. It's not. So you saying "Lmao what did you think it would be good" makes absolutely no sense.
Makes me wonder what she would think of Majin Tensei
Devil Survivor 2 is GOATED (also there's an anime for it)
It's great but I prefer first one. Personal nostalgia bias though.
She didn't like it as much
The anime is hilarious. The main character is hacking the game for infinite macca and he manages to kill off common route characters.
Bro i'm 3 minutes in and i'm already sold the editor fucking ate with the eyebrow edit i'm in tears
Oh my stars you played the best SMT ❤
EDIT: and on one of the only routea I didn't do, too!
EdIT EDIT: The protagonist's canon name reveal is *so damn good*
When I first played Devil Survivor I called the protag Noah, and then gave him the nickname "Ark" because Noah's Ark as a pun had me cackling when I thought of it.
At the time I had NO IDEA how heavily gods and religion could tie in to SMT games, so the pun ended up just amplifying with the Cain and Abel reveal.
Do you have intention of playing/ watching the raidou kuzunoha games
The orignal devil survivor was the first SMT game i ever played and made me want to play everything SMT, I love to see it getting some attention!
Devil Survivor are my favourite games.
They mix games that I love like: Fire Emblem/FFTactics with SMT, they use that Danganronpa kind of character designs, with ALWAYS a big booba main girl and a COOL LOOKING protagonist.
She missed out on one of if not the second best chaos ending.
lowkey they shouldve made a desu3 instead of a soul hackers 2
I did see this game with voice acting, but man it does fit what I thought it would be. I wouldn't say it's bad but I got a whip lash of disonance
Is this some kind of remaster of Devil Survivor? Back when I played this game their wasn’t any voice acting lol.
3DS enhanced port
Ah, Devil Survivor Overclocked, my FIRST ATLUS game and what got me into the whole demons/personas obsession I have now. Really hope they make a Devil Survivor 3 one day, that duology of games was incredible!
DeSu has the best alligment system and reps, an amazing concept and uses the mythological elements the best way the series ever did untill now, it especially is not just the "Lucifer muh freedom vs God 1984 vs Neutral which is actually the clearly right route".
in NG+ its revealed that Gigalo is Lucifer and you can fight him and its fuckin WILD. One of the best superbosses in smt imo
CRYSTAAHHL PLAYING DEVIL SURVIVOR?!?!!!! AAA I SHOULD BE STUDYING RN BUT FRICK IT
I feel like yuzu's little "I just want to be a normal girl" speech could have been so good if they actually gave her a character. they could have had an arc of her admiring that the girly stereotypes she fits into are an act because it makes her feel like she fits in more and stuff about being to scared to not be "normal." I love those sorts of character arcs but I feel like she wasn't given the chance and she was just there to be the female character (tm)
I really like Yuzu because of how ultimately out of place she is in the entire game story-wise.
Unlike the majority of the cast that each have their own goals and motivations within the lockdown and what it will mean for the entire world, she really has no stakes in any of the conflicts beyond "getting out of the lockdown"; she spends basically the entire game trying to divorce herself from the greater conflicts looking for a way out.
Her route is a straight antithesis of the game's themes of facing crises with your strength to achieve your goals by attempting to run away from everything to return to the status quo, it's why her route is the only one that directly leads to a Bad Ending.
The sad truth however is that, realistically, most of us would be Yuzu in a situation like that and that makes us uncomfortable.
yuzu is a normal girl tho, which is why shes always complaining and just wants to not be involved with all this demon business. a character doesn’t have to be subversive to be good, even if you find her annoying i think shes realistic in that she just wants to go home.
also girls can girly and there doesn’t have to be an explanation for it. she can just be a girly girl who likes girly things, thats completely fine and fits her character.
My favorite route in Overclocked is Yuzu's route because that entire route is you pissing off Metatron so much that he comes from heaven to have words with you. It's one of the funniest routes I've seen in a game.
I never finished Devil Survivor, is the girl hated in the same way that Yukari is?
Its actually worse... just trust me. Yuzu is Yukari without nuances.
Really wish this series would get another game. I played the 3ds releases of both games and they are some of my favorite tactics games.
NOOO YOU GAVE MARI THE BAG YOU'RE SO DONE 💀 Now someone has to die and it's YOUR FAULT.
What you're supposed to do if give Kaido the bag and tell him to take it to Mari. If you don't either Keitske or Mari die 100% and you get locked out of Atsuro's route.
Edit: You made a lot of mistakes as well. You didn't start a NG+ after beating Gin's Route, which is intended as it makes future playthroughs afterwords significantly easier and with tons of bonuses. Law and Chaos specifically are nearly impossible without the NG+ bonuses. You're also meant to do multiple NG+ playthroughs for all the skill cracks and new story routes, and you need to be on at least NG+4 to see everything. The more routes you complete and the more story/content you see the more bonuses you get.
You also put physical moves on everyone, which is a REALLY bad idea. Phys is really good in DeSu, but due to the limitations of the skill crack system you should only have ONE physical main (Atsuro) and have your other three characters be magic focused. Dance skills are better than everything else for magic (especially Holy Dance) and for phys go with Deathbound until you get Multi-Hit in the 8th days. Make sure you have healing on as many people as possible even if they're the weaker spells. Tyrant, Vile, and Wilder are the best races, Tyrant giving you constant MP Regen, (essential for the longer fights) Viles give you 3-tile range at the cost of lower movement and not being able to do an extra attack, and Wilders can sacrifice their HP to boost your movement to max. Make sure to have a few Megamis and Fairies as well who give great healing. Some of the best demons for the late game include Norn, Lakshmi, and Alciel.
Yo the editing is gold
Another one joins the cult. Once you go DeSu you will never be the same
devil survivor 2 too please!!
Not even 22 seconds in and i immediately remember why i dropped the game back in high school. You can't just open a DS game with the post prologue esoteric SMT dialogue. So i was just like "man this game sure is fire emblem but don't know what the FUCK is happening."
Yo this Editor is going BRRRRRRRR, I love it.
This was fantastic I have only one complaint WHERE'S MY BOY BLACK FROST 😔 where is the hee hoo of our hearts
Wait I missed the streams, this game is soooo good.
Glad I didn't play overclock Yuzu's voice is annoying as hell. I really liked Yuzu in the og ds game.
Love both of these games. The introduced me to SMT AND Persona.
The 1st has better combat, but the 2nd has a better story. I highly recc the second one of your didnt HATE this one.
COMMENT FOR THE ALGORITHM AND FOR PEAK
I had a feeling you'd love this one
Honestly the protag being an artifical Bel demon made to serve Naoya's goals but developed sentience would have been amazing.
the edit is high tier, good job mr Editor 👏👏👏
I really wish I knew you could fight Metatron without massacring all of Tokyo
my b gang😔
I saw this late. But damn. Did you get to fight Lucifer? I have to know. XD
This is the game that we deserved to have a third game for. Instead of Soul Hackers 2. SMH
Well we deserved A Soul Hackers 2...we didn't deserve what Soul Hackers 2 actually was.
@@Chelaxim Alright. Fair. I'll give you that one.
...Still want my DeSu3 though. :
Considering how SH2 turned out, I have no hope for a DeSu3 to be any good.
this game is 10/10 regardless, but this is one of the few cases where voice acting made it worse
This isnt a video about tms#fe
8 wanted to get this game when I was younger but my parents said no because it had devil in the name
Atlus, Devil Survivor 3 when?
this actually was the first SMT game that I played 😅😅😅
PEAK FICTION
Omg you're playing my favourite smt !!!!
IT'S PINOY OMFG!! YES!!!
Okay i concede, i rang that notification BEL
Wait the editing in this video is peak
Can someone tell me who's playing the narrator, he's great
honestly this was such a great video! super well done to the editor this time :D
LET'S FREAKING GO! This was my personal first SMT spin-off, and while the map music is hauntingly overplayed, the soundtrack is a string of bangers. But the plot and mortality of party members sends me for a loop, and I always second guess WHO can be saved, or even IF the game will let me without making Keisuke sign a demon pact and make me feel like I wasted my time trying to save them. OH I STILL LOVE IT, and the manga adaptation is amazing, but OH THAT ONE GUY IN PARTICULAR! XD
