[@KidCapes]

I'm told this "Kid Capes" character is exceedingly handsome and charismatic. Allegedly. Just something I heard.

[@KaiMCGRPS]

indeed

[@spudsbuchlaw]

Jury's still out on this one

[@its_heeho]

Hee Ho

[@goleh4044]

The amount of effort for research and translation put into this video is insane.

[@jamessicard1705]

I'm still hypothesizing that SMT V will in some way be connected to Nocturne because of the HD release and what we saw so far

[@_EhoTarsis]

You're not gonna believe this...

[@elfiebranford9330]

I demand regular appearances from MF Larrue in every new video. Please ;;w;; Also, this scratches a real nice itch for me. I've always loved the lore of Nocturne because of it feeling kinda mysterious. It's not necessarily like most games where you learn about the world through documents, but a lot of the environmental subtext told you what you needed to know. Maybe that's just me, but I always saw things that way. Nevertheless, this video was exactly what I needed lol!!

[@YaldaMedi]

I legitimately jumped when you said semioscuro

[@MakoTenseii]

Lmao yeah Kid Capes does talk fast af.

[@kqlin34]

This is awesome Also, RIP MFDOOM :'(

[@tokyobassist]

You literally travel through the "bloodstream" of the Amala Labyrinth. The whole idea of Amala being the body of a being makes a lot more sense.

[@vicneti]

Didn't realize people actually still say Nocturne "doesn't have a story" Kinda weird that people still say that

[@n-extrafries-surprise]

Wait, people actually says that?

[@vicneti]

@@n-extrafries-surprise unfortunately yeah

[@elfiebranford9330]

I've always disliked when people say that. I guess it doesn't have a story in the "traditional" JRPG sense, but it's there clear as day!!

[@suzubee9602]

"its just dante" lol

[@SimplyDad]

How does this game have lore when it don’t even get a story lmaooooo

[@SymmRTA]

Great video you legend

[@dailydoseofvitaminc6565]

To be fair, I’ve heard some people say that they only talk about the Amala network in terms of other games because they think characters who can travel to different realities have probably encountered it before at one point, even if it’s not actually connecting the games

[@jamessicard1705]

The Diamond Realm is the one connecting all universes after their inception

[@KuroeDetectiveAgency]

nice, been looking forward to the culmination of all the discussion in FM lately also LOL at the kidcapes sample

[@sevrlbats]

the enthusiasm and joy in this video have raised my spirits measurably not subscribing was never an option!!!

[@suzubee9602]

Nice video mr. Larrue

[@RottenPotatoMan]

Awesome video, love all the work you put into this! Can’t wait for more!

[@ComradeScrungus]

Hey Larrue, I Really love your channel and i am running a SMT RPG game, but its with an unofficial persona based system using Powered by the Apocalypse as a DM this video was a FANTASTIC resource!

[@smtterminator7883]

I know I'm late but I always wondered what those circles that surrounded the remaining pieces of the cities were. It almost feels like they were used to protect those areas from the conception. Maybe Hikawa's doing to keep buildings for The Assembly of Nihilo. Or maybe people who knew about the conception and tried to keep those areas safe but to no avail. I don't know it had me thinking for a bit

[@Argonisgema]

Whe you said that dante said that memior i started thinking "why would dante pray to a god?

[@jellyface401]

15:30 I think is the will of the amala network.

[@villainreacts936]

seems like they made in a game the theory of the fractalized living universe consciousness.

[@izzyalistair]

Take my sub, great research

EL SEMIOSCURO

[@bloodblues85]

Great video!

[@Neeta-san]

This is absolutely amazing, thank you!

[@oyoyoyo7624]

Great work 🙏🏾 Love your research & passion

[@nyugvo6]

would Dante really write in that poetic style though? or have a journal.

[@Larrue]

Can you think of another man who wandered only into the maniacs version of nocturne and was fed lies by lucifer and given a menorah besides dante?

[@nyugvo6]

@@Larrue no, of course I can't. it's still funny to imagine him writing stuff like that.

[@Larrue]

I wonder why they didn't write in how he normally talks but then again like you said, it's weird to think he'd even have a journali

[@jamessicard1705]

He's picking up a new hobby

[@straymerodach4713]

@@Larrue How does Dante normally talk? like Devil May Cry 1 Dante or silent like Devil May Cry 2 Dante, cuz back then no other Dante`s existed. Most of the character from 3,4 and 5 didnt exist, you just had this character that was a smartass in his first game and brooding silent type in the 2nd

[@tme98]

A lot of cool information here, thanks! :D was looking into getting a tattoo from SMT Nocturne, was contemplating the magatama

[@davidkiller61]

Maybe the voice talking to the Special Manikins was Buddha himself?

[@villainreacts936]

maybe it was stephen

[@Alpha4706_]

alternate title, "local conspiracy theorist proves he needs therapy"

[@nichoudha]

The secret lord is probably either Mithra (the one who is arbiter of the prophecy in the game) or the Demi-fiend (his final title at level 255 is Chaos Lord).
