This is the first of the two endings I got, and thus matches my perspective on the right outcome for the world. There is nothing left of the world. I have gone through and killed its ruler, its guardians, its people, and finally its creator. It would be meaningless to keep it going; it’s an empty land devoid of life. The judge seeks to stop us in mere spite of what we have done. He pointlessly seeks to preserve a world with nothing to preserve. To prevent the destruction of the world is to delay the inevitable and ultimately prolong the suffering of this broken, hollow world. The judge would live a meaningless, lone life until he eventually dies. Why not get rid of the stagnating world that the batter and I spent so long eradicating of its life? His rejection of the deliverance the batter can offer is a mere petty refusal to accept that the battle is already over. We have won over him. The judge has been complacent in the world’s destruction. He clearly sees the effects of what the batter and I have done to the “purified” zones. It is eradicated of life, only populated by the demons we have unleashed to wipe its people. It is only once everything is finished that he seeks to judge us as is his namesake. He is not a hero either. He may not be the villain we are, but he stood watching as we annihilated his world, only to reject us at the last moment for his selfish desire to prevent us from finishing the job.
@@mungi12 there is no right or wrong, it just slightly influences what ending you get. make what decisions feel right in the moment, and the game will sort you into an ending you’ll probably vibe with
i dont know if its just me who noticed but did anyone else notice how omori takes bigger strikes with the knife and sunny more weaker but omori takes more damage everytime sunny strikes even though its weak? I like to think its equivalent to Omori obviously being younger than Sunny so he takes more damage despite how weak Sunny striked.
I think the most influential (and accurate) aspect of this battle, is that when Omori berates Sunny, he repeats certain phrases: "people like you don't deserve to live," "it would be better to just die," and finally, over and over, "you should just die." This is how it feels when you're suicidal, like those words repeating and repeating, not necessarily audibly except in the case of hallucinations, when its arguably the least endurable. It's internally sourced manipulation.
It just brings you to the file select screen. The game doesn’t save after you beat it, so there’s no post game or anything unless you’re playing the omori route
this marks the last optional boss that isn’t new game + exclusive. expect a 40 minute long demi-fiend video a few years from now lol. whenever i decide to do that, it’s gonna take a lot of grinding up serph, argilla, and cielo (to my knowledge, who you bring doesn’t matter at all apart from cielo who’s universally recommended, and serph is just easier to grind up to prepare for the fight)
tbh im not sure why i trained up serph to get ziodyne, but it ended up paying off this late into the game lol. to my knowledge, kohryu always resists elec (to varying degrees based on phase), but never drains or nulls it, so it’s the only real viable option unless you’re tryna gamble
Set in a Purgatory-esque world of ceaseless war and violence called The Junkyard, Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga follows The Embryon, one of many warring tribes consisting of emotionless soldiers without memory nor personality, seeking to conquer all other tribes. One day, a light suddenly envelops all inhabitants of The Junkyard, changing them as they start to develop emotions and gain memories from a life they have no memory of. This light also gives them the ability to transform into demons with the caveat of an insatiable hunger that will lead to their deaths unless they consume other humans. Now, instructed by a mysterious entity calling itself Angel, The Embryon must defeat all other tribes in The Junkyard and bring a mysterious girl named Sera to the top of a tower to reach a state of being called Nirvana, all while consuming their foes lest they fall victim to the starvation induced by their new demon forms' hunger.
Context for this world is given in the sequel, Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2, in which it is revealed that The Junkyard is a combat simulation hosted by a group named The Karma Society. All soldiers present in the combat simulator are artificial intelligence based on real people from The Karma Society who died in the real world. Angel, in reality a member of The Karma Society disillusioned with the organization's cruel ways, implanted a virus into the program, the light that enveloped the tribesmen that granted them their demon forms, to end the stalemate in the simulator's battle and give the artificial intelligence memories of their past lives and sapience. Reaching Nirvana in the combat simulator is, in reality, a method to transfer the data of surviving soldiers from the simulator to the real world, giving them form and freedom from the simulation as real humans. Sera, the mysterious girl who appeared in the simulation along with the light, is in reality Angel's daughter, placed in the simulation due to her ability to sing a song that can manipulate data (aka souls) in such a way that the insatiable hunger of the demon forms can be suppressed, thus enabling the simulation to end with a true victor rather than having everybody perish from lack of cannibalism in the case of a stalemate. It is through her song that the data from the simulator will be converted to physical world entities.
kinda weird how given demon stats are generally quite low and you can't customize them, i was able to bring some really underleveled demons (freyja and anubis) to the final boss, and they still contributed a ton (tarukaja and divine retribution are just that busted). it kinda sucks that tarukaja causes an overflow glitch though. always have to be careful to not accidentally cut aleph's damage from several hundred per attack to single digit lol
zayin is a really cool character which makes me disappointed with how he turns out. it really makes no sense for this guy whose ideology is "guys tyranny is bad. don't massacre your people please" to eventually condone for and execute the annihilation of earth's population. they coulda made this guy so much more naturally developed and interesting; after he becomes the leader of Tokyo Millenium, make him have you go on missions that test his beliefs. make situations where he has to rule with an iron fist, and make him eventually become what he once hated naturally. but nooooo, instead atlus made him just suddenly go "oh, im satan now, so i want to kill everyone. im not sorry. you die too, aleph."
idk why but right at the start i started bawling once i saw the fight menu appeared and the theme kicked in. was sitting there crying for 2 whole minutes then continued the fight
my cat's name is rossy he is cute he goes meow meow but only rarely most of the time he goes mrrrp because he is fat and lazy so he meows with his mouth closed lolololol
Haha, you’re absolutely right! This game IS an allegory for the Cold War! I’m impressed you caught on to Zelenin and the angels representing the USSR and Jimenez and the demons representing the USA! Edit: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 1000 LIKES!! Edit 2: omg, 2000 likes?? You’re too kind!
Bro i literally used this exact team for the final boss it's so good. Quick tip though, with bosses as strong as the reaper, don't use theurgies without a buff on them.
@@superchichu560 Yeah lol, theurgies outside of Armageddon take into account concentrate/charge, kaja buffs AND passives like slash boost, ice amp, magic ability, etc.
You fight it to farm Persona items. Reaper is the fastest way to grind out Personas to max level, rewarding you with their items so you can craft the ultimate equipment.
