@@ltb1345 Utterly false. SJ did a near perfect balance of the three alignments. Redux still frames new neutral as the perfect route when it’s literally just as bad as old neutral but the game massages your ego. New law goes all « we’re doing brainwashing, but NICER brainwashing! Totally different! See we don’t hate law!». SJR doesn’t improve the endings (and making them happier does not mean they’re better written, because they’re absolutely not), it just frames them in a good way that satisfies fragile fake smt fans. Old neutral is like you doing drugs and your parents find out. New neutral is like you doing drugs without ever being found out. What a good message to send to players! You don’t need to improve yourself if you’re never faced with the consequences of your actions! Just don’t get grabbed! Totally fits humanism, I’m sure Rabelais would agree with you Atlus. Humanity shouldn’t improve, amazing! Way to not understand anything from your journey through the schwartzwelt. It’s funny because George spells it out for you how shitty old neutral was, only for new neutral to be the exact same! « Knowing the schwartzwelt could be destroyed has lead humans to never improve » (I’m paraphrasing but it is the meaning they were trying to convey.) Lol Lmao Rofl We’re supposed to think this is a good ending? How did anyone miss this line??? I’m fucking tired of smt fans sometimes. I’d say you have a point about DSO, but i don’t feel it. They made law almost too good in that game. 8th day was entirely dedicated to delete every flaw associated with law. It embodies all my issues i have with neutral routes, they feel too golden. Even the chaos rep is at his best with the law ending and becomes a better person. Meanwhile you get a shitty cliffhanger for chaos. Woo yeah the kid with the power of a demon whose only feat was forcing God to actually come down and fight him, yet still losing, is totally gonna beat God this time in his own realm, where he’s actually at full power. Sure you get stupid offhand forced anti-law comments by Atsuro to make it look morally grey but, lmao, it’s not. What makes law interesting are its problems. Smt’s alignments aren’t things you should believe in nor take seriously, they’re either too extreme, completely idiotic (Redux), or sad caricatures of real philosophies. So they might as well be entertaining. Which neutral fails to be for me. Stripping Law of any flaw is like rewriting Voltaire’s Candide but deleting every instance of a human being evil (you’d only have the Eldorado part haha).

For the world that is, that doesn't mean story is bad, just that it was incredibly bleak and you chose your kind of hell, instead of choosing the path you wanna take.

I know quite a bit of people dunk on the smt4 designs because they are from a guest artist who "didn't follow the rules of creating a demon" (ya'll should know who I'm talking about), but I think in terms of what they represent in smt4, I really like them. When you look at their designs and compare them to their roles in the story, it is very clear the game is trying to tell you that these angels are not normal compared to the others, they are really important and while they have very vague humanoid aesthetics they are clearly creatures that are modeled to be God's followers and minions and are not to be messed with. Its really sad that recently SMT4 has been getting crapped on for pretty petty reasons and whenever you praise things about it you get called an apologist or "oh you're a new fan so you're more likely to forgive errors". Being in this fandom when you are aware of those types of fans are tough. TL;DR SMT4 archangels are underrated

One thing I always found interesting is how, in spite of them being called Archangels, they're all actually Seraphim. Because of the Angelic Order, this can be unnecessarily confusing, even though it really isn't--for me, at least. But on that same subject, even in Megami Tensei, where separate Archangels and Seraphim exist, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel all look distinctively unique from not just the other angels, but from themselves. As much as I love Kaneko's original designs, I'll be honest, the depictions from SMT4 have been growing on me. They really capture the incomprehensible yet awesome holy power that they possess; they also give me massive Bayonetta vibes too lol. And just coming from a language and philological nerd like myself, it's really cool how much Hebrew I've indirectly learned from your channel!! For example, I've taken note how names ending in the suffix "-el" are somehow related to God, and because of that, it's made me look at many of the series' demons with Hebrew-derived names in a brand new light. The angelic demons of MegaTen have been some of my personal favourites, but they haven't gotten the presentation and attention they deserve until now.

I personally like far more the designs of the Archangels in Devil Children, as I find their mainline designs a bit generic. Just as a few examples, Uriel is a knight with a flaming armor, and Raphael is an angel doctor. (Taking the meaning of his name rather literally.) But I HAVE to mention Raphael's incarnation from the Devil Children Light And Dark anime, who while at first is the Comic Relief character. He ends up hooking up with Rangda (Who here is a cute girl with pink skin instead of an ugly witch) and manages to act as a dentist to a freaking Hydra! I think this might be one of the only pieces of Megaten material where a male angel not only ended up with a female demon, but it also did NOT end in tragedy!

Amazing video as always I'd would amazing if you covered Islamic archangels. They share Gabriel and Michael. There is Azrael Who is the angel of death. It is said that he have 4 faces, 4000 wings, and 70,000 feet, and his whole body consists of eyes and tongues whose number corresponds to the number of humans inhabiting the Earth. Israfil (one of the best designs in smt in my opinion) who blows the trumpet in judgment day similar to trumpeter from book of revelations.

There's a total of 10 Archangels according to the Kabbalah and a majority of them are acknowledged by most Abrahamic Religions to some capacity. But saying they are all archangels is basically lumping them in with their lower class counterparts. The 10 span the entire choir hierarchy.

Fun fact: In Mormonism, those angels were people before they had their physical bodies, like Jehovah was Jesus before he came to earth. Michael and Jehova lead the creation of the Earth along with the rest of humanity, overseen by God and his wife. Later, Michael was incarnated as Adam and became the first prophet of the first dispensation. He's also the angel who came to confort Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus suffered so much he bleed through his skin. It's has also been said that Gabriel was Noah.

@Tony4You2 жыл бұрын
Hmm that's a good question. As far as I know the Merkabah is God's chariot, which is referenced in the biblical texts regarding Elijah. He was brought up into heaven with a flaming chariot much like the Merkabah. I'd have to do more research but it would be very interesting

I always found it interesting that angels were called demons. I did a bit of research and found that it's not too far from how humans would see them. In fact it's also referenced as such by the works of several occultists and prophets. Angel meaning messenger of the Lord, but what is an angel that does not work for the Lord? Well we saw that one third rebelled and "became demons". Pretty fascinating honestly and for biblical or even peripheral texts to mention this incredibly interesting and makes me wonder if that's why the SMT team went with the description they did for demons in their games.
