Everyone's dancing furiously, but is anyone dancing crazy?

Hell yeah, smt coverage! I’m so glad that smt 2 is getting some love, because the story is really good despite the dated gameplay. Haven’t watched the video yet, but I’m sure it’s going to be amazing!

[@trickortriq]

The gameplay is still playable tho

[@scottrauch1261]

@@trickortriq it's not bad, it's just rough if you're use to the convinces of the new games.

[@KCUFyoufordoxingme]

Long trips to navigate around by going through maze with passcodes needed is a pain to just from one area to another. The rest is great. I hate that passage.

[@Djordjevicc]

Would love a (deserved) remake. Shame the 3DS era is over, would be the perfect console to do it on.

[@hello-gx6oi]

@@Djordjevicc atlus can still do it now but the question is if atlust wants to do it

[@sigmundschwartz6434]

All right, points for giving Daleth Balrog's theme.

[@TARINunit9]

Ah, SMT. You never fail to be weird in the most awesome ways. In this game alone (spoilers. I'm basically spoiling both parts of Firescale's video so watch him instead of reading this) it's the second coming of Jesus and a reincarnation of his mother Mary, as well as Satan and the Devil (they're separate characters now) opposing not just the Pharisees as last time, but the angels of Heaven. And did I mention that it's a cyberpunk future? *And* despite being cyberpunk sci-fi, the "second coming of Jesus" part is NOT a metaphor. It's *literally* Cyberpunk Jesus. And that's just scratching the surface...

[@Samm815]

12:30 Hawk, put your tongue back into your mouth before you pull a Joseph Joestar. 15:50 "My master went out to find his missing girlfriend and never came back. I miss him."

[@jazzyziel04]

Oh man, this was such a well-made video. I was honestly impressed by the storytelling you did here - it was off the charts. I feel like I'm going to watch this again after watching the next part.

[@kyfy24]

This was a really cool spin on how you retell games. Hope to see you do some more SMT. Also bough AI Somnium Files because no context lol

[@delakek]

ayyy, some smt 2 coverage! nice!

[@rainyjay8156]

I have only discovered smt within about a year starting with persona5 and I've fallen in love with the series. I dont have them so this and your other rpgs told long videos have been great to the story . Nice job and cant wait for part 2 thank you :)

[@chimblemasterofchimney4771]

I got into it after hearing the batshit insane soundtrack of Nocturne and the "Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry Series" meme. Then I found out about the insanity that is original Megami Tensei and the novel trilogy that it was an adaptation of.

[@Deyananut]

daleth is a comic relief now

[@Green-Raccoon777]

Hey Firescale, not sure if you're aware, but I couldn't find a single playthrough of SMT2 for the Law route. Everyone's either Neutral, or Chaos for this game. As far as i'm concerned, you've just made SMT history.

[@BigKlingy]

That's funny considering 4 Apocalypse's DLC heavily implies Law SMT2 is canon. They cover all the alignments with the past heroes in that DLC, the SMT1 Hero being Neutral, Aleph being Law, Demi-Fiend being (obviously) Chaos and Flynn being undecided.

[@Naotosbiggestfan24]

@@BigKlingy Do you mean True Demon ending?

[@DerEthereal]

@@BigKlingy This maybe late, but I believe Diamond Realm Flynn was partway through the Neutral route before getting sent to the DLC, while SMT1 MC was still undecided (died when the bombs hit).

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

Aleph made god so mad he’s now Hijiri… and somehow y’all think he’s law… satan could judge god, kill him, unlike Lucifer who could barely rebel… chaos is the only option that makes sense for the way his story continued… in the next game

[@malageist]

omg guys don't skip to 3:57

[@Cordis-Ater]

I have just discovered your channel and and I'm loving it, can't wait for the next part.

[@TheTabyo]

loved this! Can't wait for your next one!

[@vienna5526]

Great video! Looking forward to more of these :D

[@silverbandit721]

I am very my impressed with your method of story telling!

[@wawztzta8296]

this is actually amazing

[@FairyEvergardens]

This video was well made. I really like it! Makes me want to try the game for myself ✨

[@supernintendosp]

I watched both parts, and they were so dang funny and cool that I'll be showing it to my friend who's coming over this weekend. Yep, twice over three days. Damn was this fun!

[@backupschmliff1156]

This is my favorite video you have ever done.

[@davidenren6496]

😩👌🔥🔥🔥 love the content man

[@Meufist]

Can't wait for part 2 :D

[@pastelshoal]

This is cool ! I'm playing through in Japanese rn on PS1 so this video is much appreciated context for the stuff I'm not understanding.

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

If you can patch a file download the Aeon Genisis translation, if your saves are in the emulator you can patch the file and keep playing from last save

[@statesminds]

Just found your channel. This was done well! Don't see a lot on smt 2. Look forward to watching the other parts!

[@banyu123]

Thank you so much for making these vids! I loved your told long version of Persona 2 (both version) and Persona 1 since I've never completed them. SMT II told long though, must be a dedication with their archaic systems, though it looks very interesting and nostalgic.

[@tonylawson2222]

You have my views garunteed for future smt content.

[@jovif.spemudaindonesia1841]

What a great timing

[@Fizz-Q]

DID THEY JUST CHANGE THE COMMENTS AGAIN

THIS IS AMAZING

[@finalsurvivor1]

I always really liked Zayin, and I never thought I could enjoy him more. You just proved me wrong. HA HA HA HA HA

[@dozzco2827]

As an Israeli, I always loved that the Character names in this particular SMT Game were the names of the letters in the Hebrew alphabet, namely א,ב,ג,ד,ז... (Most likely due to Hebrew's obvious links to Judaism) This was an incredibly entertaining and well made video and I will absolutely binge all of the videos in this series now! Keep up the truly brilliant content 👍

[@firescale2091]

That is a cool bit of info I did not know. Thanks for sharing!

[@Xman34washere]

I love how this is told from the perspective of Hawk

[@Kurzov]

This is incredible

[@thestongestoftheweak]

Still love this version, would love to see you doing even more mainline SMT. Ya do good firescale, and will keep watching your stuff.

[@Hoodiehov215]

That secret of mana music was hitting so nostalgic and epic there's something spiritual and magic about that sound track mega ten music is cool to lol

Thanks helpful Mio!

[@ENZEED]

Thank you for the summary! I dont have time to play old games sometimes :(

[@allmight9840]

Best persona I Mean smt 2 review

[@wolffster25]

This was good you should use this format for more games with a structure like this.

[@tehandroidmaster]

You know what's really hilarious to think about? I watched this in late 2020/early 2021 *right* before Marsh SMT started doing long playthroughs of old ass games like Digital Devil Story, Devil Summoner (PSP), and SMT1. I was looking for SMT2 shit to watch, and I came across this again! The style and tone of yours is way different from Marsh's, but holy crap - yall manage to evoke the same feeling out of me regardless: like I'm listening to a fellow weeb talk about a JRPG in real time with all the memes that come with it. Cheers!

[@froggyranger]

The edits you made to the dialogue in spots were a wonderful touch. Every line from Zayin and especially Daleth had me rolling (≧▽≦)

[@trickortriq]

I love this game

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

I’m playing smt 2 right now, this game certainly drags a couple of times but it’s by no means bad and I love this video so much more now

[@callmezeldaonemoartime]

Firescale danced crazy!

[@KLegyyn]

Confession: I did not care for Beth at all when she joined my party. . Immediate guilt when she sacrifices herself. . Now I feel guilty every time I see Beth and will remember how ‘pure’ she is. . .

[@RavenTheSensai]

this was really good. not a very help full comment i know, but i just wanted to leave one to help the video get around because... like i said, its good.

[@jellyface401]

10:18 It changes from game to game but it usually takes a cyrstilized form, just so you know.

[@Monarch_943]

god dang it, I was hoping that if I watch this summary I'd skip this game but this had the opposite effect XD I really wanna play it now lol

[@allmight9840]

I subbed. Make more smt content please

[@alexandermckay9521]

Could you do the first game too?? I’m trying to get into the series and the first two games have never been localized in my country.

[@KCUFyoufordoxingme]

This could have been something awesome to listen to go to sleep to like a radio play. Unfortunately, dead spots where we don't hear anything or know what developed unless we were looking at the screen makes this not possible to be an audio exclusive experience. Maybe get a friend to do the other voices if you don't want to do voice acting. I am only frustrated by HOW GOOD IT IS to fall short of what it easily could be. Do whole games in this style in hour long videos that can be listened to and they are sure to blow up and be a hit. You have all the talent for it.

[@freakyzed8467]

Wow that music is soooooo Phatasy Star 2!

[@mentallychallenging]

I absolutely love this format and I think you should do this with other smt games like 4 or maybe apocalypse. Preferably the ones it's harder for the average normie to get hands on or play

[@riceyboi5215]

Just a heads up, but you made a typo in the title Nice video though

[@alextheabysskiller7209]

Can retell the story of smt 1?
