I'm hindu, and Kali, Durga and Parvati are the same being... there not different Goddess. The one thing that other cultures can't understand about my religion is that there are 9 Gods or Goddesses in Hinduism each God or Goddesses has different forms and different cultural names. Shiva has 1008 different names like Rurda or Kaal Bhriv, there both Shiva not different beings. Even Hanuman is a piece of Shiva so there technically 8

Good comment! You’re right but in SMT they have them as separate entities I’m unsure if that was the developer unaware of this and thought it would be cooler to make them their own thing. I haven’t been able to see any commentary on it but would be interested to know.

Haven't your blood boiled when they portrayed Hindu gods as demons?

@@SnarfsSoldier17 Well, considering how this is also a series that deliberately chose to have both Satan and Lucifer as separate beings when most people wouldn't even know that was even a thing unless they already knew and cared enough about the inconsistencies present in the Old Testament and how Satan was more so a agent of God which was meant to act as the ultimate judge of all living things and unleash God's wrath when necessary on there specifically (which I sure as hell didn't before playing these games btw lol), then I think it's clear that they do know what they're doing tbh

Sick content!

[@SnarfsSoldier17]

Thank you!

[@PhoenixDecim]

That was pretty cool. The deities were portrayed really well in the game and they nailed the designs. Even my parents loved them and wanted to print out some posters of these designs. Of course there might be some people who get offended but most of us think these are amazing (krishna was the most liked hehe). If anything, we're kinda bummed that there are not a lot of good games from india related to hindu deities and epics.

[@SnarfsSoldier17]

Is there a good Indian developer who would be up for making a game based on Krishna or Shiva? I’d be all over that 👍

[@PhoenixDecim]

@@SnarfsSoldier17 the closest we got recently was Raji. It was a decent platformer. Here's hoping for more 🤞

I can make one, but I'm just scared that I might be doing a blasphemy. But I'm ready to do a game for jesus in unreal engine and I'm from India.

[@PhoenixDecim]

@@privatenumber5341 well I can understand lol. People would get offended even if you did try to get it right as much as you can, for a lot of stupid reasons 😂 I've also stayed away from doing anything that takes inspiration from religion as the area I live in was very much religious and you'd be seen as an outcast if you did something that they deem sacrilegious.

[@madsli]

prediction before watching the vid: Sati and Parvati, Ganesha and the trinity.

[@cirkleobserver3217]

Vasuki is a great design imo

[@xdanielol4835]

Damn, Ganesha is my #1. In some SMTs if you know how to build him it can become unstoppable, even more than Shiva

[@SnarfsSoldier17]

You are right but I feel like when I am playing SMT I need my trusted Vishnu and/or Shiva in my stable.

[@leosee-through6147]

Personally, Varuna is my favourite demon. Definitely peak kaneko design

[@SnarfsSoldier17]

Certainly a quality demon to be fair

[@madds2882]

The designs are all really cool but it always irks me when Shiva uses Tandava because it's IMPOSSIBLE to make out what he is saying

[@madds2882]

Also SMT 4 Krishna is peak

[@SnarfsSoldier17]

Yeah wonder why they did that lol

[@lavneetgardevoir0326]

Demons??? They are gods and goddess

You should play the games 😉

[@lavneetgardevoir0326]

@@SnarfsSoldier17 thanks you

[@DixieChix]

@@lavneetgardevoir0326 Just in case you're still confused about this btw, but it seems that in SMT specifically they treat the word "demon" as more so something akin to supernatural beings instead of specifically referring to creatures that are particularly vilified by some kind of religion or mythology, which yes, that also means that things like angels and deities/gods/goddesses are also called demons too; admittedly it took me a bit to get used to it after playing the games for the first time not too long ago, but yeah, you'll learn to get used to it pretty quickly, trust me lol

[@hyperism]

What rubbish is this game portraying our gods as Demons? Seriously this Game should be banned for hurting sentiments of people

[@hyperism]

@@nudrattashfia4060 why will you care? If it was about Muhammad and allah you 100% have cared about it when this game portrayed them as Demons, right? Will you be liking it and saying the same thing? I don't care if it's 30 year old or 1 it's just need to stop anyhow this is a rubbish game which is really is portraying gods of a community in a bad light or as demons

[@SnarfsSoldier17]

The SMT Franchise I would not say portrays the gods in a poor light but rather the franchise allows people to learn about them and expand their knowledge base. Shiva, Asura, etc are pretty spot on from a mythology standpoint and while the developers maybe should not have done a blanket "demon" setup there was no malice in their intentions. If you have not played any of the games I would recommend giving it a try as you might like it if you enjoy turn based jrpgs.

[@hyperism]

@@SnarfsSoldier17 I won't even support this and you're telling me to give it a go? I don't know what there intentions were? But they have portrayed gods as demons that is blasphemy in itself, if they didn't have any bad intentions then why they didn't portrayed them as Gods? Oh no the reality is that they portrayed them like that on purpose and also the title of the video is blasphemous it says Hindu demons? Why you didn't titled it hindu deity? It's bad that's it

[@hyperism]

@@SnarfsSoldier17 Shiva is God not an asura people don't even know the real meaning of Asura
