The ULTIMATE Recap of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne (RECAPitation)

[@SalKhayer]

"Dante from DMC2 takes his leave to go find a better sequel of his own" Apt. Very apt description of that travesty of a game.

[@CHAMPY1LIVE]

It is a shame your videos have decreased in views as the games have gotten more niche because these videos are verifiably more impressive, the games you’re covering now are much harder to put in a linear format and you do it with such graceful summary. You’re awesome man

[@obi-wankenobi4337]

"Games have gotten more niche" lmao doubt

[@rushink]

@@obi-wankenobi4337 Yes, guy, JRPGs are niche in the West even if you really enjoy them. Hopefully, though, he might just reach that niche audience of JRPG fans and rise even higher.

[@2phonebabykeem913]

@@obi-wankenobi4337 Fr SMT V has made the series as popular as ever

[@SirFooplesTheThird]

I mean, OBM chooses to do videos on these games. There's Persona, MGS and much more convoluted stories in video games

[@kaliduncanel3356]

I can't front I've been a fan of JRPGs and complicated games since I played FF7 when I was a young'n but as I turn 30 I need these videos and playthrough like videos to maintain my interest because I simply don't have the time. I need to make a living. That's the only reason I can't indulge in this type of stuff anymore even though it's probably in my top 3 things I like to do. I really appreciate channels like these so I can get a chance to experience it all even if it's second hand.

[@PokeBattlerJaze]

I’m impressed you managed to link the lore to make it make sense to have both Dante and Raidou, kudos.

[@323starlight]

"Dante drops the job and takes his leave for a better sequel of his own" Grade A writing right here. XD

[@Pranaynaynay]

I mean this as a complete positive but your vids are one of my favorites to fall asleep to. Very calming voice and cadence (and then I rewatch to actually learn the lore lol)

[@JorgeSanchez-yv2bk]

Omg, actually same lmao

[@aaronw937]

I do the same thing

[@Silath01]

I think that's alot more common than you expect, I was pointed here by someone who said it helps them sleep. Gave it a shot and its was weird how calming the stories are.

[@zpanish]

Legit this just happened to me. Fell asleep halfway through because the voice is so relaxing.

[@Bloodshade]

His RECAPitations are always on point, I enjoy how well structured they are

[@cidfacetious3722]

You’re always on point!

[@wesleyharris1723]

“Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series”

[@wiseguise5960]

I actually had a lot of fun doing the quests to get him. This game as a whole is really awesome, mainly from the story point perspective.

[@hommefataltaemin]

One thing that I truly don’t understand is why Isamu has such anger towards the Demi Fiend when everything we were shown was the Demi fiend rescuing him and being a good friend to him? I don’t understand what his issue was

[@barokmeca]

If you still don't understand, and I'm very sorry to not have been able to tell you before, it is because he hates himself for being so useless. He basically hates the world for making him feel so useless and he hates how you keep helping him. He wants to be able to fend for himself and stand out by himself. That's why he has the reason he does and you practically help him cement the reason why he needs to have a world of solitude. So he doesn't need to just get rescued by people and he doesn't just get put in danger by others.

[@edgelord8337]

I actually had no idea that the "featuring dante from devil may cry meme" came from this series. I'm currently watching johneawesome play nocturne and its already a favorite of mine.

[@LuminousArc92]

from SMT5 we know that the Nahobino are demons who merge with the human possessing their knowledge to become as gods, so could Baal Avatar Chiaki, Noah Isamu, and Ahriman Hikawa technically be counted as Nahobino? :p also funny that Hikawa went into the conception with a reason in place and the most prep work done yet was the last of the humans to actually summon his god

[@tylercharles4587]

Hmm.... Possibly

[@sgwcyingko]

Yeah. I believe so.

[@FentyMixx]

Chiaki, Isamu, and Hikawas demon forms are called Psuedo-Fiends. They're very similar but not the same.

[@barokmeca]

No, they are pseudo-fiends. In order to be a Nahobino YHVH needs to be dead and you need to combine with a human who possesses your knowledge. The reason bearers are still human but adopt the power of either a demon or a God who sponsors their reason. But they are nothing compared to a Nahobino or True Demon.

[@maskedsaiyan1738]

This is anachronistic. The Knowledge and Eternal Life components to be a Nahobino aren’t mentioned or recognized in SMT Nocturne.

[@partofthetribe3277]

"Takes his leave for a better sequel of hi it's own". Lol

[@ggez3109]

Yep I said it before, a recap of mainline shin megami tensei games are totally possible. Now you know it man, keep it up you doing great.

[@HandsomeRagz]

Another banger, as usual. Looking forward to those Star Ocean recaps

[@TORchic1]

You did a really good job on this recapitation! I like how you incorporated the Freedom and Demon endings in this recap despite ultimately going with the True Demon Ending. I also really liked how you approached both Dante and Raidou's presence in this game. EDIT: one more thing. I'd love to see you recapitate both Digital Devil Saga games, SMTIV, SMTIV Apocalypse, and potentially SMTV. EDIT2: In light of the announcement of Soul Hackers 2, I would like to see a Recapitation of Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers.

[@BrandonPaul]

This game frustrates me so much gameplay-wise and yet I still think it's beautiful. SMT V was a good try at doing something similar but this game just has its own haunting atmosphere that can't be matched.

[@chrishunter9185]

Thanks for covering this. More people should play Nocturne. It's borderline quintessential

[@Tapegreen1]

I've watched a bunch of your videos, all of which make a great summary of the lore. But this game series is still something I just can't wrap my head around.

[@saifaddeenal-manaseer6325]

Man, I'm glad whenever I see people talking/making videos about Nocturne. I played the game and loved it back in the day when it was not known, and I wished there were people to share my thoughts about it with.

[@xRocketzFighterx]

You've done an amazing job on the lore. I'm a bit sloppy with following the plot myself but you've done a great job here. Thank you

[@Wildfire667]

Such a great video, any chance of going more obscure and doing SMT IV and apocalypse

[@OniBlackMage]

Definitely

[@AvidgamerZ]

This is the best recap of the game I have seen so far... You've captured the story far better than I have ever been able to... And trust me, I've tried... Wanted to get my friends interested in this niche game... Didn't work... Hopefully, I can guide them to your video now and maybe get them interested in the main line SMT games. xD Kudos and take care!

[@YungTimeWeaver]

And then they win the fight against god, kicking off smt5. Can’t wait for you to cover that one!

[@deadlyninja112]

Subscribed very good content

[@esedess]

Love that inclusion of the "Endless Waltz". Gundam Wing!

[@Jamesssssssssssssss]

Game looks better than I thought , ended up getting it on steam. Great video!

[@carlm7375]

There are so many series I want you to continue, Suikoden, Persona, FFXIV etc but your choice of games are impeccable as ever

[@gogovish]

all those lyric quotes through out the video were perfect

[@Gaspingindeath]

One of my favorites of all time! Nicely done!

[@Anomaly1618]

6:30 “They then journey ownward to see how the world ended with Shabuya” I see what you did there 😉 #TWEWY

[@Traumvita]

Beat it last year but didn’t understand everything. And over the last year my memory has gotten fuzzy so this helped bring it all back. Thanks for the video!

[@JakkHorwikk]

Love your videos bud. Especially at work.

[@MyersSimp42O]

Been waiting for this, thank you so much!!!

[@liuchenen109]

I like how the guy retelling the events with some memes of Nocturne community. Can't wait for next RECAPitation.

[@_JENOVA_]

Another banger video on one of my favorite JRPG's ever

[@Nyx_Room]

I knew you'd get to these. Digital Devil Saga Should be Next!

[@Joulourde]

Something I really needed. Thanks Oni

[@plan9tek]

only problem i have is this is one of the only mainline games on the ps4. besides persona 5 not even sure if 3 and 4 got a ps4 port or not, i know they're getting a gamepass pc port sometime in the near future... this is actually the next thing i'm playing after i finish persona 5 royal.

[@TheNyion912]

Dope as always

[@siegfried7988]

Great video man

[@wiseguise5960]

OOOOHHHHHHMMMMYYYYYGGGGGGGAAAAWWWWWDDDDD!!! I am SOOO hype for this! I absolutely live this game and the SMT series as a whole. I reeeally hope your doing the devil/demon king route story for this video.

[@daysscerlerghergn528]

Digging the very deliberate word choices

[@ddaodao9332]

Thanks for the awesome video 👍

[@theonkurr9255]

"The longest and strongest demon - Mara" lol

[@Solitaryparadise99]

24:37 oh God Aradia is from CWCville

[@Rabeshin]

Thank you! Needed this today😅

[@thedeepfriar745]

Y’know if Monster Hunter can now be considered Capcom’s flagship rpg series. Then there’s hope for SMT to eventually obtain such a status

[@tallflipkick]

Now we need an SMT 1 and 2 recaptation

[@JNCGaming]

Fantastic recap! I cannot wait for you to do Smt v!

[@camirock17]

After all the video i still don't understand the story: is it demons and fcked world just because? Or did i missed something?

[@Yukito746]

i will looking forward to watch the recap of SMT IV and apocalypse someday

[@randomindividual9338]

This is a wrath insightful piece of art.

[@Jeff-tt7wj]

This games visuals remind me of Killer 7. Everything has this creepy, dreamlike look to it.

[@ridewild1956]

This game is very different from the other smt games, in that there's no 'good' answer even in the reset ending since the threat of the conception still exists

[@-Hee_Ho_Hey-]

I remember my role back in noctern!Those were good days...

[@shelbybayer200]

The Canon ending is the True Demon ending as it follows into SMTV

[@Sad-Lesbian]

Any plans on doing Digital Devil Saga, Strange Journey, SMT 2 or SMT 4? I love your videos and would love to see those games

[@Darth_Bateman]

I beat Lucifer on hard with a magic build. Saw that KZbinr do it and I was inspired.

[@EvilmoRtyc1002]

can you do a Grandia 2 recap?

[@starboydeluxe3339]

This is going to be SOOOOO good 🌟

[@oni91119]

Nice to see mainline being covered and the megami tensei franchise being covered. And not just persona

[@laelhochberg9497]

Oni Black Mage, you are the best! Also, *I WILL NOT CRACK!*

[@krastyantheparamount]

Love this game! And this video too, that's a sub from me

[@Metalslimeusa]

LOVE THIS GAME 10/10

[@bait668]

Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series!

[@GoldenChyldBeats]

Bro I literally be waiting for these lmao

[@edwardwebb5636]

This video features Dante from Devil May Cry™2

[@MovieClouds]

Hell Yeah! It’s Demon Time!

[@nickhalfmann8397]

Does anyone know if Hijiri makes any future references in any other SMT/Persona games?

[@jonbigcawk]

This has the same exact story as 5

[@rdu239]

So the true demon ending was canon and events carried over to SMT5?

[@PenguinsAreColdish]

yep

[@xhalom5487]

Bro can you do a tales of series

[@isaacgraff8288]

I am curious about the other endings now.

[@Osiris2994]

Holy crap, can I use this footage for a project I'm working on? I'll credit you

[@OniBlackMage]

Sure, would love to see the final product!

[@Yxazel]

And then he fought Serph... and a boy with long hair

[@brezzendorf]

Can u make SMT 5 next?

[@jaidora]

Since I’m playing SMT 5, would Nocturne feel worth a try on Switch given that it’s an older game?

[@charlie9723]

yes, nocturne is one of the best ps2 rpgs

[@jaidora]

@@charlie9723 alright, if I find a physical copy I’ll try it out in the future.

[@theblackcoatedman6794]

Oh, mainline, noice!

[@JohnnyWorld]

Do a recapitation on P3 please

[@whiterabbits22]

Man I remember not finishing this game and being like wth regarding the story 😂

[@lionelplayerone]

After all these years I still can't tell if Thor is either female or male in this game.

[@svenbernhagen6320]

So in the HD remaster Dante is no longer in the Game? 😢😭

[@Xenoforce456]

You can purchase him as DLC

[@JuanJimenez-pt3dn]

I wound if SMT V is set in the same world as SMT 3.

[@JonasNybacka]

its not

[@PenguinsAreColdish]

it is pretty blatantly

[@sirbruno95]

I honestly wish to see the ending of the other reasons, because whenever someone recaps what happens in SMT3 it's always the True Demon Ending only.

[@WarriorV8]

moonlite ... moonlite

[@partofthetribe3277]

Is that Dante from devil may cry? If not they owe Capcom some money.

[@tundra2861]

This game is a certified hood classic

[@ma70er]

Wait... you can play with both Raidou and Dante in a single playthrough?!

[@JonasNybacka]

nope

[@jairoaldus6085]

The King is back.

[@JuniorDominguez-v3l]

These games are so damn long 😅 I don’t have the time to play all the titles between 1-2, just finished 3 and am about to go into 4.

[@NightcorEDM]

Why smt doesn't have pvp is just baffling

[@alexb.9446]

I love your videos, but maybe is because I'm not an english native speaker, but you speak so fast I need to put the video at 0.75 😂

[@eazybuxafew]

One of the longest and the strongest LMAOOO lost it

[@nifftbatuff676]

Who is this Dante?

[@andropolog]

Keep going man. Recap I, II, IV too. Don't bother with V, until the story get patched

[@prouddegenerates9056]

O shit

[@finalshade14]

Voice silky as always

[@siegfried7988]

👀

[@Ryan-vs2uk]

recently finished this game. did not enjoy lol. too post-apocalypstic for me

[@noahbuster4333]

An absolutely brilliant game! One of my favorites. Music, battle, story, demons, all so good! Nothing like those lame high school sims like Persona 3-5.

[@PenguinsAreColdish]

both are good
