Damn, digital devil saga’s character designs are some of kazuma Kaneko’s best designs, I love kaneko’s art, hiring him to work on most of the art of the smt games was a match made in heaven.

He wasn't hired. He hired every one else. He alongside Cozy Okada are the fathers of SMT. And yes, his art is truly something else.

DDS is definitely one of my top two favs of the smt/persona games, because it has a unique battle mechanic compared to the usual, and the fact that the battle themes for both the first half and the second are SUPER good also help, lol

I like DDS 1 Soundtrack . . . IT'S A GOD TIER in the SMT series . . .

SMT music in general tends to be great, and the Digital Devil Saga series has some of the best of the bunch.

[@DragonKingX78]

Yes DDS has a great soundtrack.

[@comobaguetes]

10:02 enemies can also become frightned if you repel or drain one of their attacks and it affects the entire enemy party. So for example if you're up against a demon that usually uses force skills and you use repel/drain force you will likely get every single enemy frightned.

[@ThatRand0mGuy]

The atmosphere and sound in this game is so unique, even compared to DDS2. I can't think of many other games that focus on Hindu/Buddhist themes

[@dr_cleek]

My favourite SMT spin-off series (outside of you know who), it’s about time DDS got the love it truly deserves

[@paddlesawtactic9788]

I didn't do all of the optional content (i fought King Frost and both Beelzebub forms. In fact, i had no idea Metatron was a thing), but I think I oy went out of my way to specifically level up a mantra once and that took about 20 minutes. Instead, I reached the Fly Beelzebub in the sewers, got my ass kicked, took note of what skills I would need, and continued the main story, learning those skills as I played. So at least in my experience, you can at least get through the hell that is Beelzebub without grinding.

[@Lmatdhr]

Some of my favorite boss battles ever are in DDS 1 and 2. Great underrated games that don’t get enough credit imo.

[@ike804]

Nice to see more people discussing Digital Devil Saga. I firmly believe the game is a masterpiece in its own right, and its since become my favorite series of games ever.

[@DragonKingX78]

[@mee7er]

I don’t think you would ever need to look at either of the DDS in a vacuum. I mean the first game literally came with a sleeve large enough for both games. DDS is clearly meant to be played back to back.

[@deathray2659]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but the atma "grinding" near the end of the game isn't really a problem. Not only does exploiting weaknesses have a chance to inflict scared on enemies, but anything that would gain pressturns or cause enemies to lose pressturns will do this. So defensive skills like null skills and shield skills like void and reflect can inflict scared. Naturally this extends to the more traditional status ailments too. It's still a chance, but learning enemy patterns and what skills to dish out can make achieving this status more dependable, even late game. But stomachache is still an unnecessary, horrible status Also fuck field hunts

[@power0029]

At least the reward made them worth it in DDS1. They got gutted in DDS2.

[@DragonKingX78]

@@power0029 still mad that DDS2 got rid of the null all(except almighty) ability the first one had.

[@lafbkhope5391]

The way I handled the grinding is using Power Charge and multiple stacks of Tarukaja. Trying to make Hunt skills hit harder was more consistent than hoping the enemies will be stupid enough to fall for your bait in my opinion.

I felt like I spent more time grinding in 1 & 2 than actually playing the game. It's hard for me to reccomend people DDS because of how much grinding there is, atleast for reaching end game content.

[@jonathanvogt4341]

I somehow forgot how much I loved this game until I started replaying it and i am in love all over, that being said in your comparison to nocturne, filling out the demonic compendium was far worse than the mantra grid simply because of inherited skills and getting the correct ones not to mention on subsequent playthroughs the cost to buy them is astronomically high whereas the mantra grid was straightforward and to help the grind later skills were worth the effort not to mention there were a few extra skills that you got for doing it and all the characters who got it filled out got an extra mantra section in DDS2 for it!

An incredible review for an incredible game. Great job on this one!

[@madsli]

As far as I remember I didn't have any problem with the AP grind. The one thing I remember being a problem was that you cannot rearrange items. Late in the game you get an item that's reusable and heals 50 mp, however you have to go through the entire item list every time to use it.

[@tairanomasakado5878]

This was a good review, but I don't really think the two complaints are entirely valid, though I do understand why someone would have them. First, the duology thing. DDS1 & 2 were originally meant to be a single game, but was split into two because having them in a single disc would be "too ambitious," if I remember correctly. It doesn't work well as two contained stories because it isn't, it's a single story split in the middle, and DDS2 is meant to be played immediately after DDS1. I know that their being one continuous story was addressed in the video, but I think that you should take into account that it was not originally going to be a duology in the first place. Second, grinding. You can beat the game easily without grinding at all, partly because of how high the encounter rate is, and so you can just devour things occasionally. The main complaint was about grinding for the optional bosses, but once you have access to the optional bosses, you can use the Titania Hallway to grind. It gives ridiculous amounts of both exp and Atma, and using it, you can get all the skills you'd ever need in just a couple hours, easily. The only optional boss you can't use the Titania Hallway for is Human Beelzebub, since you need to beat him to unlock it, but he can easily be defeated with minimal grinding. Of course, someone who is playing the game completely blind probably wouldn't know about the Titania Hallway, but they also likely wouldn't be able to find most of the optional bosses, so I think the grinding complaint is not very reasonable. Sorry, I just love these games to death and can't help but defend them whenever anyone points out a flaw lol

[@kereminde]

I like the first game, was gonna beat the Ultra Secret Boss for the clear bonus but soon decided - after the fifth time I went about 15 minutes into the battle and got wiped - maybe it wasn't important. For the people who may play this game? This boss is hidden WELL - it's only on a New Game+ run, and nothing directs you to it. The others get hints about their existence, but this Secret Boss... no. And it's brutal, because it instakills you should you show up to the battle with "forbidden" skills. Which would be anything to let you sleepwalk through combat... meaning you have to actually make it a "fair" fight. And it would be fair if that killing move wasn't in the rotation of moves the Secret Boss might trot out if they get bored, or after a certain point in the script. Yes, the fight has a script it follows loosely and at certain points, it's Rage Quit time unless you're lucky to dodge the attack. (Why is it instakill? It does minimum four digits of damage. You can max at 999 HP.) So, yeah. That guy can go suck a Mara. I love the concept of it, I love how it connects as a reference, and I love the implications of the battle's ambience. But it is THE hardest RPG fight I've had which wasn't due to total bullshit. (There's bullshit here, but as I said the fight is more-or-less "fair".) As for the grind... look, it's grindier than your more modern RPGs. No lies. But I played Dragon Warrior on the NES, so I've seen *worse* grinding forced on you.

[@Clampp14]

This game was my intro to SMT back in the day

[@squishgod9094]

I remember when I went to tackle as many of the optional bosses as I could, and I spent legitimately like 20 hours in the high level basement of the first dungeon eating people trying to max out my mantras with every character. I never ended up finishing the game

[@tomo8940]

Isn't there like a light novel that continues what DDS was suppose to be if it was completed?

[@infernaldisdain8051]

More specifically if the original writer didn't have health problems during the development and the second writer didn't have to take over her notes. But it is a very different beast past the first few volumes.

[@TheNirvana65]

Dude, I've been watching your videos like crazy and they are awesome, me being from Latin America didn't know that SMT had such a dedicated fanbase, and thanks to this I have been introduced to a lot of great games that aren't the Persona saga (the first one I played was Persona 3 and it changed my life). This proves to me that games can be deep, complex, and extremely ambitious and still have a lot of commercial success, without having to sacrifice any of their artistic vision.

[@bass2126]

I've played this duology about a year ago & I agree it's very underrated, fans of the franchise avoid it most of the time because it doesn't have the fusion system, but it does redeems itself with other refreshing gameplay aspects & the music, story, & characters are really good, though I wish they could've polished some of the gameplay aspects, like making the optional stuff not need a shitton of grinding, or the human form & group skills strategically more viable. But overall it still is a great game & also it has one of the best OSTs of the franchise, I hope if the Nocturne Remaster succeeds then Atlus would consider remastering this & the Devil Summoner Raidou games.

[@GlitchyPixExtra]

Great video, it's nice to learn about the MegaTen games outside of the Persona series. Looking forward to TWEWY video!

[@nobodytonobodysbusiness]

Great review. Had this for a long time but never even started a file. I think I will.

[@alfthetruelord]

I think the slower grind of skills does help keep you from quickly getting all of the incredible skills on characters easily, especially if you aren’t planning to play the optional content And wont need all of those skills for a boss that might not be balanced for them Also none of the PS2 SMT games sold well other than the persona games which I would argue that are less well constructed video games, (not getting into how I feel about their stories), partially due to the state of atlus after the flopping of like 4 different titles.

[@FatalJapan]

DDS is my absolute favorite.

[@neroblack2704]

A way to make Hunting for ap a bit easier is to have 3 skills ready on the party member that is gonna be hunting (power charge, Insatiable & iron stomach) and have taunt on a different party member, Power charge on the hunter's first turn (this increases the damage by 2.5x) followed by having your next party member Taunt the enemy (Taunt gives all enemies a double attack buff/defence debuff), next you want to pass turn to your hunter. Use Insatiable to cause a huge chunk of damage and devour all enemies in the group (Iron stomach protects from ache). Rinse and repeat, take in consideration that it's more efficient to grind in a area where this routine kills enemies in one go rather than areas with higher level enemies.

[@Genethagenius]

Love this game and the novel it’s based on (“Avatar Tuner” in the English translation, it’s really good) but holy crap the random encounter rate is high! At least the battles are fun but it can get annoying if you get lost or have to backtrack in a dungeon.

[@DragonKingX78]

[@WilliamGeesdorf]

For ppl who loved SMT Nocturne: Plz play Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2 ASAP. They're excellent.

I don't think it's fair to judge the story on its own merits without the second game. Not only were they supposed to be a singular experience, both were released less than a year apart in all regions, in Japan it was just 6 months

The analysis of the combat is great! However, in the meta logic of the game, consuming enemies is presented as a central story/gameplay element. Thus, you gotta do it for the full experience. I didnt grind at all and focused the characters on their natural paths and found the game to be challenging but strategic. Youre not meant to exploit the game and avoid every stomachache etc.

I would prefer a third game(with new characters, same combat/skill system) then a remake. Also when has Atlus done a full remake of any of these games.
