"His eyes look souless" How does she do it guys, the game just started. But truly DDS is such a fantastic game series it deserved so much better, is always fun to see someone experiencing how unconventional it is compared to other smt games and for the better.
rizzma being aprt of the ghosts joining you to the final face off with god has the same energy as polnareff having a random flashback to Judgement in JoJo while he's dying. "Jotaro....avdol....j-judgment? what..?"
I like how the first game is like climbing a pyramid of weirdness, and at the end you realize you're only on the fifth step out of thirty. I love this game.
Digital devil saga 1 and 2 was originally one single game, but producers thought the game was too long and forced the directors to split the game into two parts. This hugely impacted the reception of these games and kept them from becoming the popular sad boy, philosophy jrpg classics they were ment to be. That and the encounter rate.
To be fair, the producer isn't entirely wrong about that. And hell, the game wasn't long enough when it comes to fleshing out some of the characters as perfect as it was.
@@snailthelostcow63 yeah, but imagine saying your game is too long and you need to cut it in half in the modern times. Imagine telling games that are about as long like Persona 5 that they need to split the story into two games cause it's too long.
16:40 "Why you guys jamming? People are dying!", 17:30 "He just wanted to know what a leaf was!", and 29:44 "B#tch, you better!" killed me lol. Loved this video and the streams.
God the Serph twist is so fucking good One of the few games i have EVER seen where there's a genuine point to having a silent protagonist and its used to deliver fuckin peak unexpected mind blowing awesomeness And its just such another layer on top of it all that the boss fight isn't JUST fighting evil real-Serph but also a second talking Serph that just says like.. everything your protagonist was created to be for Sera. A completely codependant overly perfect "Good Serph", how she perceived the false persona that bastard put on to manipulate her. Probably how protagonist-Serph genuinely first started back before the Junkyard was corrupted, nothing but a blandly smiling doll that says whatever this traumatised kid needed to hear. It's so fucking good that you defeat not only the original asshole but this fake thing you were supposed to be, truly proving that protag-Serph isn't "Good Serph" either anymore, who he is now is fully his own person. He isn't only saving Sera because that's what he was programmed to do, he's saving her because she's genuinely his friend now. He's saving EVERYONE. He's saving the goddamn last remnants of the tormented original-Heat despite everything he did. Serph is making the choice to be a better person than either the awful bastard he was cloned from, or the fake ideal protagonist he was made to be. He's being a genuine human, even though he's never even known a human life. He's more of a human than that rotted sack of crap doctor Serph ever was! I remember when I first played that entire section i just COULD NOT put down the game until the wee hours of the morning, it really is peak storytelling in the entire SMT series in my opinion!
Also based as fuck that DDS was out here throwing canon lesbians and nonbinary people and even intersex representation all over the screen at the same time Persona 3 onwards was too much of a coward to even have gay options. Srsly I know a grand total of ONE other game in all the years since DDS that's even had an intersex character EVER AGAIN, it was SO ahead of its time for LGBT stuff! (Kaine in Nier)
@@Bunni89 They're different games for different audiences. SMT was always the "adult" series. Persona was always the "kid friendly" series. But it's still Japanese. I don't think they throw anything in there for representation, they really wanted to tell a story.
@@Mayhzon ....Persona is "kid friendly" *Side glances at Kamoshida* *Looks the other way at Mara still being in both series* *Looks at the ERSB-17 on the box* Ok honey.
Also lol DDS doesn't even HAVE Mara. There is no nudity at all. It has more blood but less of other adult content. The mere presence of implied LGBT+ themes could get it a higher or lower rating depending on the country. DDS also isn't even part of the mainline SMT series, BOTH of them are unique spinoff subseries. So I get what you're trying to say that SMT and Persona have different audiences (correct). But you got the audiences wrong, it's adults and teens not adults and kids. And DDS isn't the same audience as mainline, both it and Persona are aimed at the older end of teenage. I also don't think it makes sense to reserve LGBT+ representation only for adult-only games, so the entire argument doesn't really gel with me, sorry. I don't think non-binary people aren't kid friendly. It's fine to have that in a teen-rated game.
I discovered your channel two days ago, with your Persona 3 run. LOVING your energy, and now you're playing DDS, one of my absolute favorite games in the franchise, instant fan right here ❤
Glad you've discovered her content. I don't watch too many streamers, but I discovered her vids during COVID. Her authenticity is refreshing when we are presented with so much that isn't. You watch her vids, you're given IRL character development. She presents drama (in a good way), curiosity, joy, confidence, humility, you'll even see her pursue her passions, which is empowering to see. Sorry, I'm fanboying, but she presents values I hope I present in who I am. I'm also sorry because you probably weren't asking for a reply like mine. 😅 Long story short, I hope you enjoy watching her vids and get something out of it like me.
I love how this game this game has the balls to say "my friends are my power" then kill them all one by one. Because that's the only way to have an audience with God humanity pissed twice thru the lens of the same girl it linked itself emotionally and spiritually with. The first game focused on how man-made creations in a fortnite sim found their humanity thru their demonization. While the second proved that these same creations proved to be more human than the ones created and modeled by them, the literal people that pissed God the first time he introduced the Demon Virus and the Black Sun on the world. This game introduced me to the series and still my fave. Also she didn't get Heat in the Final Dungeon, did she miss some dialog choices?
You mean comedic relief. I agree though, so many comedic relief type characters aren't really funny at all, while Cielo does his job as mood maker of the group by simply wanting to make them smile, and is genuinely competent when he needs to take the situation seriously instead of being the clumsy butt monkey that many of the archetype are, so at no point he feels like dead weight and is an important part of the group, someone you can genuinely believe is integral for them all to push forward. And his dead scene must be the coolest of them all 😊
@@Dadan-dan Cielo does kinda feel like dead weight in the first game given all his stats go into ag and luck *and* he's weak to ailments. They made him much more useful in the second by giving him higher magic (and the more flexible mantra grid helps). I actually had him in my final party, while I basically never used him in the first game
The way I very strongly disliked Heat through all of DDS1 and most of DDS2 and then the plot twist came and I LOST MY MIND! One of the biggest turn arounds I've had for a character. I agree they could've sprinkled in a few more flashback stuff on the front end of DDS2 rather than the back, but still cool twist. But yeah these games are freaking sick, glad you enjoyed them too.
This is both a two part film (excellent one at that) and one of the hardest game's of the entire francise. I would kill to see it remastered and play it myself.
" one of the hardest game's of the entire francise" okay, thank you for saying that. I've been REALLY having a hard time and I've been wondering if I'm just stupid...
@@IceQueen975 wanna have fun? Go see Buffmaister’s challenges on this game. Vishnu, Shiva, Seth, Satan and Demi fiend are the hardest. Demi fiend is apparently also listed as one of the hardest bosses in game history. Idk if he still counts as such, but i think that’s a win for the boy
@@summus9215It still is to this day one the hardest by virtue of needing max stats on every character you use + a very strict loop you must exploit, you may have the perfect build of skills but without stats you have to rely a bit on RNG for that fight.
I played both games in their entirety when they first released. Watching this, I can't believe I forgot how great the story is. I know you and some others spoke of how the remake train may not be so great for the video game industry, but I think this game could certainly use the remake treatment. First, for my copium. Second, to bring these types of stories to a new generation. Third, to give us more story-heavy games with the SMT flare. Fourth, the the themes these games utilize are still not represented enough. I remember when I played my first SMT game and was presented the choice to essentially fight Christianity/Religion and reject order/control, I thought I was dancing with the devil. Ridiculous thought, but I wondered if I might go to hell. It really gave me that icky feeling. Games like these validated my feelings to not be a part of the hive mentality and made me okay with diverging from thoughts of the majority. It doesn't make us bad people. This might seem like a ridiculous train of thought to some, but I certainly felt this, so I know there are others who feel the same way too. Long story short: I want a remake of these games!!! 😂
The DDS games are some of my favorite Megaten games in general, such a cool story with incredible characters to back them up. Gale quickly became one of my favorite characters in any Megaten game. I really hope these games get remasters or ports on modern consoles so more people can enjoy them
Digital Devil Saga, The SMT game needed in all the catalogs. And sprouts so many ideas that carried over into the rest of the franchise. Though now that I have seen this video, the covers make total scenes now. Holy crap this game is vary on point now even more so then when it first launched. Any who you all have a good one.
Was so excited, and hoped you'd play and like this one once you played SMTIV! Was beyond happy you did! Hope someday you play Devil Survivor 1 and 2 someday, and hopefully you like them.
@40:28 thank you for pointing this out! anyone I've tried talking about the story with dismisses how sudden and progressively bleak the stakes get. it's supposed to be emotional storytelling, and the epilogue helps reward that. DDS is peak!!!
I played this game so long ago that I’d forgotten a lot about it, so this was really fun to watch! Can’t wait for you to get to the Raidou Devil Summoner games-I remember really enjoying the vibe of those.
YEEEEEEESSSSSS! I know it exists, but I feel I don't see a lot of love for DDS out there. Trying to jump from Persona to SMT I mostly got recommended Nocturne, SMT4, or SMT5 - and I ended up playing Nocturne and... I'm ngl, I actually wasn't a fan. I also gave Devil Survivor a shot, and while I thought it was ok, it also didn't really grip me. I gave Strange Journey a shot, and I really enjoyed it at first, but I weirdly found myself running out of steam pretty quickly and not feeling particularly motivated to finish it. Digital Devil Saga was the only SMT game I decided to try despite not hearing a single person recommend it - and I'll tell you this: *it was also the only one I could not tear myself away from since the moment I hit start.* It hooked me so bad from the moment I started playing that I _think_ I 100%'d the whole game in like a week and a half iirc. Hands down the best SMT experience I have had so far! The secret bosses in particular, were amazing, with almost all of them requiring me to constantly rethink my strategies. While just about all of them are great, I think I would have to say that the Beelzebub fight in particular was the single most fun and engaging fight I have ever played in any Persona or SMT game so far.
Indeed, something similar happened to me. I first got to know dds with an smt mix of battle themes, almost all of the top ones were of dds and when i heard them it was something out of this world. Thats when i decided to give the game a try. It certainly took effort at the start, getting used to the mantra and hunting system, but after that i just couldn't stop playing. Usually i take breaks while playing smt games cause they are brutal but with dds i couldn't stop, i even did the optional bosses for both games. I think only persona 3 made me feel close to how hooked i was on the story and even then i vastly prefer dds gameplay. And while i know many people hold dds duology in high regard i do want this masterpiece to be appreciated even more. Im hoping a future remaster brings the ever so deserving popularity it needs.
It was a great experience watching you stream DDS. They're so good!!! I am hoping that both these games can get a remaster or remake. ...and have them be good!
I'm so happy you played DDS and both of the duology! The continuation in DDS 2 from DDS 1 is such a rollercoaster. My favorite are of course Serph's reveal and Gale and Angel confrontation. I hope you will try Raidou duology next! The first and second game of Raidou isn't continuous like DDS, but both are fun nevertheless. It's a hack and slash game but we can control demon, similar to P5 Strikers. And there is cat!! I love Gouto so much. Gameplay-wise, Raidou 2 feel much better, but I like how Raidou 1 story ties with SMT and there are wacky moments too, so I suggest to check it out if you're interested!
Thats it. Thats it. She finally played DDS. Even if she doesnt play 2 (I hope they do though) Im subbing now. WAIT THE VIDEO KEPT GOING SHE PLAYED 2 YEAAAAABB
And now you know why people had been begging for AT LEAST a modern port for this game. It's just so different yet so familiar compared to other SMTs Oh and also one of the unique entry where it's hindu-buddhism focus than the usual christian. They did a great job in realizing that in a setting that made sense for it. Yeah, SMT had many recurring hindu-based demons after all so makes sense for them to pay homage to it.
For me I dont believe there is no peak megaten game because all these game have there strength and weaknesses, there own gameplay mechanics, there own storys to tell and that's what makes these franchise so great.
Digital Devil Saga is top-tier Megaten for me, it's so fucking cool
the music is something i especially want to point out
"His eyes look souless"
How does she do it guys, the game just started.

The fact that these games have yet to have a remake or atleast a modern port since more people need to experience this gem.
If it does, I hope it goes full rated R.

What happened to Gale was the first time a story made me feel something since lego ninjago season 3
This is peak SMT Experience Time!
Hell yeah, Digital Devil Saga rocks!
I'm looking forward to you potentially going through Raidou at some point!
Digital Devil Saga was such a good game, it 100% deserves a remake. Come on, ATLUS, make it happen!
This is my favourite megaten game ..this dualogy is just pure epicness
To get the "Super Skills" in the sequel, you need to be the, and i quote "Big huggable teddy bear" in both games
7:38 smt moment
Learned about this game from Max Derrat and got so excited when I saw this video.
"i do not comprehend"
And now you know why people had been begging for AT LEAST a modern port for this game. It's just so different yet so familiar compared to other SMTs
Oh and also one of the unique entry where it's hindu-buddhism focus than the usual christian. They did a great job in realizing that in a setting that made sense for it. Yeah, SMT had many recurring hindu-based demons after all so makes sense for them to pay homage to it.
Loved it when you said you got SMT-ed so hard!
DDS1 still has the most difficult Megaten boss to this date, and arguably one of the hardest jrpg bosses of all time.
I am glad Digital Devil Saga is getting more recognition!
You did... You did.
My favorite SMT games are SMT 1 and 2.
Strange Journey and IV + IV-A are cool too though
Also these 2
We need the remaster now atlus 😤
I would preorder it so fast.
you made a friggin glass cannon out of serph
17:44 if you ever do Strange journey Redux, there will be another Bugaboo
There is a reason everyone who has played these games has been port begging for years.
A video on both dds game stream series that's 49 minutes long? I do not comprehend
Knowing how hard this game is.... i cant believe, i physically recoiled when you upped str and not mag!
I never even bother maxing out str....
DDS 1+2 port/remaster WHEN Atlus
Now we wait for the demifiend fight
JUMPED OUT OF MY SEAT OMFGG
So glad you got around to this game, looking forward to the absolute mind fuckery of DDS2 :P
my facorite games of all time im so happy you liked them
Came for DDS but stayed for the gorgeous adorkable game girl. ❤
26:33 i laughed so hard during this part
digital goat saga
did crystaahhl encountered demi fiend in her flaythrough?
Oh shit it's the best SMT game in the whole series! (I'm not biased) Wooooo!
What is the name of that song at the end of your video?
It is so uplifting and made smile
Om Mani Padme Hm - Staffroll - Digital Devil Saga 2
such a good game
The "wtf Gale is so hot" to "wtf Gale is even hotter?" pipeline is so real
For me I dont believe there is no peak megaten game because all these game have there strength and weaknesses, there own gameplay mechanics, there own storys to tell and that's what makes these franchise so great.
WOOOOO more Megaten with Crystaahhl!
OMG MY FAVOURITE SAGA YESSSSSSSS
Easily in my top 10 favorite video games of all time.
Requirements to finish this game:
- inventory full of estoma spray
- steel mental
NICE! so when are you gonna play digital devil story?
Best of the whole series
Crystal is the most gamer of all the girls. Confirmened.
I want to play the game so bad but my phone isn’t powerful enough😢
