  • One of the first currencies I wanted to cover in this series was Macca, the magical demon currency of the Shin Megami Tensei series, and with SMTV on the horizon I though there was no better time then now to do it!

    Two things:
    First, I believe it's safe to assume SMT1 takes place in 1996. We know from novelizations that SMTif takes place shortly before the nukes drop in SMT1, and both SMTif and Persona 1 take place in the same year because Tamaki is a second year student in both games. And P1 takes place in 1996 because P2 takes place three years later in 1999 because of the Grand Cross.
    Secondly, there's something most people aren't aware of, but in the Devil Children games both the human *and* demon worlds use macca as a currency. So in the world of Devil Children you can literally visit a fast food restaurant in the human world and buy a burger with macca. The so-called "Expanse Burger" costs 180 macca in the GBC-era games, and 120 macca in the GBA-era ones.

      Thinking about this with honesty, most humanoid demons could qualify for the ability to prepare meals, especially the lower order of Angels (Archangel, Angel, Principality) since they spectate humans, so it's possible they could learn the steps of cooking (like a bowl of ramen, or a Big Mac for instance) through watching how others do it.

  • @edenswhateverchannel
    @edenswhateverchannel 15 дней назад +9

    It would've been better to say that the can of oden's price was inflated by 75%, considering that Gustave is a collector who will pay premium for human relics. Since he will by your normal items, that are naturally abundant in the netherworld, at 1/4 its price.

    I think it's probably wrong to assume Gustave is buying relics at 1/4 value.

    But the relics aren't being resold, he's a collector, just like the SMT1 exchange guy.

    While I'm hesitant to make sweeping lore statements about MegaTen games, the fact that Strange Journey depicts Macca as an energy source, and SMT4A describes Demons as taking shape due to human "Observation" (4A being developed alongside Persona 5, if this sounds like "Cognition", it should), or even the Devil Survivor games talking about how demons sorta un-exist when not summoned, it feels like Macca isn't a physical currency minted in electrum, but more like a sort of free-floating representation of energy, that demons would thus care for.

    I'd disagree that relics are bought at quarter cost, given they're relics, not usable items, and Gustave is a collector. I'd personally guess either closer to a half, at cheapest, up to 1.5x
    The only other notes I have is we can probably use Nocturne knowledge if helpful to expand on this, as in the Canon of Vengeance, one of the miman state that the netherworld was born starting at a hospital near Shinjuku, kinda north-east of Yoyogi. That lines up with the Conception in Nocturne. Whether the gameplay of Nocturne happens before SMTV, different question, I'm not educated enough to answer that. But, Conception is the same starting point.

And it *does* facilitate payment for fusions, or in other words, “creation”. But that’s a massive, MASSIVE stretch. Of course none of this contributes to exchange rates-

I don’t think the prices are particularly accurate to real world currency and it’s just worth that much to him since he a collector.

    However you are making a mistake with Gustave.
    He is a collector and as such likely does not plan to resell the relics.
    He buys the useful stuff for 1/4 of their market value, because he plans to sell them for that amount. Since there is no other buyer for the collectibles, his buying rate is the absolute value.
    So you should increase the calculated amount by 4 to fix that error
