The way we see Walter's physical condition after being used and twisted by Lucifer, it makes me wonder if that's how God sees the spiritual condition of those living in Tokyo.
and he call us puppets, the thing about shin megami tensei is that god was created by human faith but because of the amala system that keeps breaking order after order he cant grant their wish so his only option is to rig them system and slowly remove humanity's ability of observation until he gains the power to bring the millennium kingdom into being, humans souls will continue to reincarnate hence why god and the angels of law are willing to kill so many people, so while people think he is arrogant god is just doing what he can with the power he was given, which is kinda of sad that every game treats him like a villain
Am I the only one who find the first phase really creepy? The music is eerie and frantic, the rapidly moving grey sky as if to foreshadow a sinister storm, the fact that Lucifer looks like a ghostly hospital patient, and his twitching left arm, no thanks
Flynn after the fight: Ah-choo! Merkabah: *OH SNAP WE'RE INFECTED WITH FILTH!!!* Flynn: Nah brah, my nose just itched. *Merkabah blows up itself and Flynn with the Yamato Reactor.*
and let's not forget the time he turned the SMT 3 protagonist into a demon without his consent and manipulated him into casting away his humanity and ending the universe.
When you actually play the games the negatives and positives of each of the routes become more and more apparent. And the safety and serenity, even if it is forced, of Law seems more appealing.
This looks a lot easier than how it went for me lol. Best attack I had was concentrate Zandyne +8, best heal I used was high heal pleroma mediarama, and all I had for buff/debuff was debilitate and rakukaja. It still wasn't awful, but a lot more tense.
God it seems so surreal fighting him at regular level since I did fiends first so i had the demons I used for Trumpeteer all coming up to 1800-2000hp with doping Also on that topic "Fall to the abyss" is used with more effects by the fiends

It's highly misconcepted that Lucifer is considered to be associated in some way with the flames and fire because he is indeed submerged in the Cocytus, according to the best source of Christian afterlife Mitology, the Divine Comedy. So yeah, it's actually not weird at all.

From the original SMT series, I have only played 3 and 4 so far. SMT4, you can save anywhere you want, but you couldn't do that in 3 so no, 3 is harder.
I have a dumb crackpot theory but here goes: This lucifer isn't the same as the one we're more familiar with (as in this isn't lucifer, but something of an "interpretation" of him) I'll also try to ignore Apocalypse since this is focused on just IV. The most obvious evidence is his design, but I mostly disregard that because multiple interpretations of the same demon exist, but his personality is DRASTICALLY different to what the series usually sees him as. In most MegaTen titles he's seen as a somewhat charismatic entity who advocates for chaos, but IV clearly depicts him as an ideological supremacist who will just blatantly destroy anyone with opposing beliefs, and is a lot more one-note with his whole "God SUX" schtick. The thing that this theory stems from is the great spirits of goodwill/hope/spite plotline. Judging from how IV presents these powers, my theory was that the demons abused the great spirit of spite to not revive lucifer, but create a new chaos leader altogether, since they had nothing to counter the archangels/YHVH, and thus Hikaru was made, explaining why he is so much more direct with what he is pushing, as he is just the culmination of what the chaos alignment is and not his own being, and lucifer was made whole once he merged with Walter. Once the archangels heard about this, they abused the great spirit of goodwill to empower the resulting fusion of themselves and Jonathan, and the two supremacist jerks were born. Or who knows, maybe IV is just absolutely goddamn terrible at writing its alignment reps, IDK
The info on apocalypse is relevant though since this is literally just what happens if Nanashi rejected the deal. Also the design is totally different from what we see usually.
@@christopherbravo1813 still would say neutral is better In this one. Both chaos and law have good and bads but at least with neutral you don't destroy a society or wipe out a whole city with a reactor.

I take back what I said about Law earlier, this ending is dope.
I never got the hate against it, I think it did its job to show angels are just as bad as demons to get their goals.

Strong Enough to Defeat Lucifer, Smart Enough to convince the angels not to destroy the World.

I've noticed that Lucifer uses ice attacks in smt games. Weird.
omegaweapon116 maybe because in some older depictions, Hell is described as being cold?
and if you want to bring Dante’s Inferno, the last circle (Treachery) is an icy lake
And its described he was encased in ice and he radiated icy winds with his wing beats
he was frozen in ice in megami tensei ii
Lucifer was frozen in Cocytus as his ultimate punishment.

I don't understand what you're asking. If SMT1 is harder than SMT4?
BuffMaister Shin Megami Tensei 4 is the Shin Megami Tensei more hardest?

could be both.
