Sure Nyx Avatar voice wasn't as ominous/scary like previous game,but i kinda like it because with this version tone of voice,you can feel Ryoji/Thanatos personality seeping out from it,and if people remember,in myth Thanatos was god of peaceful death, making this Nyx Avatar/Ryoji/Thanatos sounds like even if he has to defeat us,he doesn't like it,he sounds like he completely resigned towards his duty and trying to kill us as peaceful as possible as sign of mercy

@@BonkHazard funny thing is, I have one for the remaining Arcanas 14. It is a grand challenge for one to decide on the path they want to grasp. 15. Regardless of circumstance, humanity will always remain a slave to temptation. 16. One must be careful in their ascension. The higher you go, the harder you could fall 17. Though man wishes differently, all good things must come to an end. 18. It is sometimes difficult for one to accept the path before them which in turn can beget madness. 19. Even if all hope seems lost, self-evaluation can lead to encouragement for a better future. 20. The truth cannot be hidden. What is done in the dark, will always come to the light. 21. What is done unto others will reflect what is done unto thy selves. 22. Sometimes the only thing needed in life is the trust that all is going to be alright.
