#DevilSummoner #SMT #MegaTen - Hry
You are a life savor, I was just about to watch the whole 15 hour movie to figure out this whole story
I hope Raidou’s appearance in the Nocturne Remaster means we’ll get remasters of these Raidou games. Or maybe even all four Devil Summoner games but that’s a stretch.
Unh, no it means nothing, he was already in a japanese edition of Nocturne that came with Raidou 2 in japan.
@@FredMaverik Yeah I figured that by now. We are getting another Devil Summoner game though.
15:37 just so nobody forgets the best part of this video
S o o n .
...man, am I glad I played this game already. Can't wait to hear your take on it.
OMG I have been watching/rewatching the first one thinking he should do raido 2 for like a week now and BAM bro delivers. Nice man
Always looking forward to a Strain video!
20:50 - the best scene in all jrpgs
Here we goooooooooooo #TeamRaidou
What a warm and wholesome intro :3 also I don't care I will always say *Abba*-_DAHN_ lol anyways I subscribed! Thanks for explaining the story though these older spin off SMT Gaidens have a fraction of the videos dedicated to it than others and I thought this was going to stay a spoiler free mystery for me. Have a nice day!
what if raidou 3 was developed by platinum games
It would be a dream come true
Someone once tossed out the idea of Raidou 3 being made by the Yakuza developers and I've been fascinated by that idea ever since.
@@strain42 I could see that
I was about to make that very comment.
I'd freaking love a Astral-Chain-esque take on anything SMT.
16:00 i see wat u did there
the humor in this video was spot on. As always a joy to watch your stuff.
Hope and despair, never heard of those before...
Worth remembering this game was years before Danganronpa even existed XD
Puhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu....
@@strain42 So DangoBongo ripped off SMT?
I have been rewatching the first one for YHVH knows how many times while waiting for this one... THANK YOU
I've been waiting for this not gonna lie.
I haven't seen this video yet but I'm liking it anyway because Raidou Kuzunoha vs King Abaddon is my favorite MegaTen game
He's called that 'cause he's a bad'un :P
Time to wait for Raidou 3 ;P
Great episode
My copy is number 25316.
Still haven’t gotten around to playing it, after all these years. Probably because I still haven’t finished Soulless Army, lol.
Good video!
I have box 7971.
if for you "soon" = 4 years ..
i wonder how many decades one must wait for "later"
Thank you so much for this! I spent 300 on the orginal game just to see it and i got number 2 as well!
Devil Summoner 1 was actually my first shin megami game. I played that way before I ever even heard about Persona
Persona 5: The Royale With Cheese
"You are hungry. Want emancipation?"
[You SURVIVED the first round of the bake-off, but your CURRY lost to Goro's PANCAKES.]
[You wait BACKSTAGE. A spirit who looks supiciously like GORDON RAMSAY appears before you.]
"What the !@#%$ is this...?"
[A fiery CHEF HAT appears on your head.]
"Are you simply going to watch? Hunger awaits if you do nothing. Was your previous decision a !@#%$ mistake then?"
"It might have been..."
> [You SHAKE your head.]
"Very well...I have heeded your resolve. Vow to me. I am thou, thou art I..."
[You TEAR OFF the chef hat and SCREAM.]
"Thou who art willing to perform all sacrilegious acts for thine own cooking! Call upon my name, and release thy rage! Show the strength of thy will to ascertain all on thine own, though thou be chained to Hell's Kitchen itself!"
damn where did you get that kawakami pillow 😳
I still remember not knowing devil summoner 2 came out and walked into a gamestop and got the collectors for $40. Still have it in mint condition and factory sealed.
My numbered box is 0749
I respect Dahn. Bro look at a literal H-doujin plot and decided to do something about it. How he plans to fix it has a lot that could be reworked, but you gotta respect that spirit.
This was a great episode
See everyone for Raidou 3 ;P
5:40
Me impersonating Emperor Palpatine:Do it.
ngl a persona cooking game spinoff kinda sounds fun...
maybe im not a real megaten fan 😓
Years ago I actually wrote out an entire plot for a Persona 4 Cooking Mama style game that would not only act as a way to have Aika Nakamura actually appear in the series, but to give her a Persona as well.
So trust me when I say that joke was written out of love, not malice XD
I would buy this.
Cooking > Dancing.
Nobody is a real Shin Megoomi Tensay fan
I saw the box set of the Raidou game when I was a kid and I've always wanted it. I was wondering why Jack Frost was in that game and why he was wearing that black uniform because I only knew Persona 3 at the time.
I love that kawakami pillow ^^ also I would love to see you do a video on my favorite devil summoner game soul hackers
23:16 This aged well
Y'know like 95% of the time when people say that it's sarcasm...but yeah, it kinda did, huh? Thank you!
Playing this game myself for the first time now and was looking into the alignment system in this game since I didn’t know this one had one when playing. Found a GameFAQs thread from 11 years ago posted by your channel’s name, so I’m guessing it was you. That was pretty crazy to me considering I only recently found your channel haha
Yup, that was definitely me. I used to be SUPER active on various MegaTen GameFAQs boards in the later 00's/early 10's
I've always wanted to know more about these games.
24:32 look at the attack name
They predicted covid
4 years, and still no Kamen Rider W reference to Narumi Detective Agency. *sigh*
In all seriousness, in the time between this video and seeing the first Raidou video, I noticed Narumi kinda looks like a 1920s version of the main character of Kamen Rider W and the person who does the detectiving for the Narumi Detective Agency, Shotaro Hidari, so theres that. Could Shotaro have been based off Narumi in this game? Is it just a big coincidence that Ren Kiriyama looks so much like Narumi? We'll never know, but I'm leaning towards the latter.
glad to meet another kamen rider fan that also like megaten
@@bingwong479 Rather new to non-persona Megaten, but honestly excited to dive into it. ^w^
the game came yeare before Kamen Rider W so..... no.
@@FredMaverik I meant from Strain, not from the game itself.
Soo.. Devil survivor 1 and 2 next ? Hmmmmm
19:22 Apparently in this game the dreaded c virus or Spanish flu virus got magnified 8 quintillion times over and unleashed on poor 1920s Japan. :o
I got number 39494 and there was only 50,000 made and how much did you guys pay for it because I got a game stop and I just saw it on the shelf New for only $40
How about digital devil saga 3 raidou vs ozymandias
Who else here is totally hyped for Persona 5 Bakeoff on the Switch!?? At least we get to have "some version" of P5 on the Switch. Woot-WOOT!!
0 because I don’t own one
What about soul hacker
In P5 You can wear Raidou Kuzunoha costume (Protag DLC)
P5R
The DLC Bundle pack is free
Man, much to think about.
well, they announced Soul Hackers 2 instead... xD
My man said it sound stupid when it's just got a weird mouthfeel for our speech style
I like your plaid pattern
"How are you doing today."
I'm a Suikoden fan and the Creator of the series currently has a Kickstarter for a Spiritual Successor going, so currently LOSING MY FUCKING MIND!
How are you Strain?
'Redneck Ninjas.'
So this is Seven Deadly Schmucks?
"P5 on Switch."
Lemme fix.
"P5 on Xbox One and Next Gen Consoles and PC."
There we go.
Switch probably ain't strong enough for it.
Technically this is the THIRD game, as the Saturn one was the first.
I... kinda like king abadoon's story way more than souless army. I dunno, it feels more personal.
I'm disappointed you didn't make a Corona joke about the final boss
Where the landerus of the gami
The real final boss was the 30 magic wall.
What about playing a lawful run instead of a chaotic run?? How is the LAW ending?
It's fine. The biggest difference is Dahn dies instead of Akane, so he never gets to become savior of the Mushibito, but that doesn't really affect Raidou very much.
@@strain42 As sympathetic as I became of Dahn although I thought him to be a complete jackhole at first, which obviously the game wanted us to, I think I just might slightly prefer the Law ending which is most definitely a SMT first for me.
Welp, rewatched the digital devil saga video and since you said that it took 4 years (6 years now) to make this review, make sure to not let that happen again with digital devil saga 2
The main thing putting off the DDS2 video is that I want to record a fresh playthrough where I have a completed save file in DDS1 and that means beating Demi-Fiend, so uhhhhhh...no promises ^^;;
@@strain42 Welp hope thou has a good time
Agree with the voice acting! I always imagine Narumi being voiced by a younger Steve Blum. And Tae as Lois Lane (Any actress works, but I want to give her that "ace reporter of the roaring 20's tone to it all!)
Plus there were better voice actors for Gouto then who they had for Soul Hackers! (Seriously I had the same WTF look when I got to that point of Soul Hackers 3DS....speaking of which, when are you going to review Soul Hackers and SMT2!!!!).
I gave up trying to VA in my mind Dahn's voice (the accents were killing me! I just used the usual VA they have do a country hick accent when their VA-ing a Japanese character from the countryside! I actually enjoyed Dahn....and after playing SMT IV! I imagine him with a Walter's VA as he was a good Chaos rep character, though his long term goal before realizing Louis screwed him over was pretty neutral leaning to chaos)
Also check out the Lone Marebito manga! It's the Raidou 3 we're never going to get! (Hope Atlus comes back to the Devil Summoner series.....though I don't want a Raidou sequel! I feel Raidou story is finished and they should go back to the modern era! Maybe a sequel after Soul Hackers!)
This is the first time I have seen someone else comment on how after reading the Lone Marebito, a Raidoj 3 doesn't feel necessary anymore.
@@kuraux56s59 In a way I would have wanted Lone Marebito to be Raido 3! But honestly I really want the Devil Summoner series to go back to the Modern/Futurepunk era of DS1 and SH (Which Soul Hackers 2 seems to be doing!). I loved SMT 1930 Boogaloo! But I always preferred DS storyline of "outsiders getting dragged into the Secret Supernatural world" that those first two games did! (Sad SH2 won't be doing that as all Party Members are Summoners already and Ringo who isn't "traditionally" human!) Raido is my least favorite of the protagonists as "his own character!" (As his own character he's leagues beyond "I'm the Goddess possessing my GF Sidekick" protagonist of Soul Hackers! At Least "Kouji" or the poor fool forced to be Kouji grew into his own character that even the guy who murdered him Sid started to respect him and refer to him by name once he realized he was in Kouji's body as a sign of respect on how much of a nuisance to his plan you've been for a newbie Devil Summoner LOL. But it was clear YOU were the Main Character with Rei being your Nuking Side Kick" Not that I hated Nemissa or SH in general I'm replaying it on my 3DS now. But I'm using my logic on why as much as I like Joker on his own! As a Protagonist he falls behind Yu from 4 who is behind my number one Minato AND Minako of 3/3P as the issue I feel is they've yet to get past the "writing your protagonist to be more to YOUR personality as a Player Avatar then their own! Which is why P2 isn't on this as both Tatsu and Maya have their personalities fleshed out in the game's THEIR not the main Avatar in! I seriously cannot make decision in EP that Maya of IS would make when faced with them! And Vice Verse with Tatsuya in IS based a SLIGHT bit on his EP self! And P1 Protag doesn't even GET AN ENTRY as I'm still trying to finish the Manga of P1! But you get my idea right! Joker has abit too much of his own will to work as a Silent Protagonist...which is why Ringo isn't Silent in SH2 I guess)
@@paulman34340 To be honest, I really wish Megaten had done away with Silent MCs long ago. As for example if the MC of the original Devil Summoner. Jun'ya. Wasn't silent, he would have a far more detailed and really cool arc about carving his own identity even though he is now in the body of someone else.
And, in my opinion. One of the best aspects of the Raidou manga are his interactions with his demons. As I loved how here they are basically party members and actual characters, instead of expendable units.
@@kuraux56s59 Really, I would have been happier if they could talk in a "Commander Shepard" manner! I found how Mass Effect did the "Player Avatar" a far better direction then the Silent Protagonist. ESPECIALLY if your going to give them Personalities to go with that "Silent!" Like Yu and Joker!
But then in a way, choices should be more gameplay impactful instead of window dressing do I say "I love Pie" or do I say "I Love Cake!"
And yeah, I loved what they did with the Demons in the Manga as well (what I enjoyed about the Demons in the Raidou games was just how expanded personality they could be as shown in SMT 3 which was centered more on them anyway! I'll say this, I always had a laugh whenever I unsummon Jack Frost with that derpy "WHAAAA" laugh he gives when you do that!)
@@paulman34340 That doesn't sound like a bad idea when dealing with a silent-ish MC. Though I still prefer MCs with a defined personality.
And yeah, the demons in the Raidou duology have a LOT of personality.
My copy is 32645
My number is 15042 😁
prefer the 1st game
I think Abba Don is better
Shinado is honestly a disappointment compared to the soulless god
