Only because they're among the most iconic demons that every Megaten player should know. These guys are as notable as Legion, Metatron, Vishnu, Beelzebub, Arahabaki, Ame-no-Uzume, and so on. Also, Hozumi really took "USE BUFFS" to heart, since the only things he does aside from spam buffs is throw in some regular attacks, summon his demons, and increase his turn count. Finally, Cerberus wasn't part of Demi's original team, only because Cerberus was ALSO plot relevant in DDS1.
I see every game going forward is gonna have that "Demi-Fiend" style boss that uses some of the most iconic demons that been around since the first game.
The reason being is that it goes deeper than that. As you said, these are iconic demons, everybody knows them. Thus, the only reason they feature is because they've been around for a long time, appearing in several games, and oftentimes in plot relevant contexts. These guys are as notable as Metatron, Beelzebub, Kikuri-hime, Legion, Pisaca, Hanuman, Ose, Vishnu, Loki, Seth, and The Archangels. They would show up one way or another, so it has less to do with them all showing up in one specific focused instance.
@@korayzer0 in digital devil saga, the cu chulain demifiend summons to fight your party has "EAT SHIT!!" As his default attack voice line whenever he uses a skill that throws his spear at you. It's pretty much the only time you hear a demon swear at you while they fight you, and it's goddamn hilarious
@@Gashadokur0 lmao, for the first time I hear about it, I started playing dds quite recently after the nocturne, now I want to hear it myself as soon as possible
@@Gashadokur0 First off, Cu is a regular encounter demon in both DDS games, first appearing in Sand Castle (Coordinate 136) and also in The Sun. Second, he doesn't actually say that, it only sounds like it. He is not actually swearing at the player, other demons would do so after him.
I cant help but feel Hozumi has really gotten nothing in terms of anything. No wiki entry, no character profile art, man's literally the game's best kept secret aside from 'Paul'. Which is funny since he's one of my favorite characters. Has strong Kyouji Kuzunoha vibes from Devil Summoner 1, Persona 2 and Soul Hackers 1
@@seriouslemons5023 Oooo, please keep me updated on that, it's wonderful to hear people are giving some of these overlooked sidecharacters some attention :D
You're right I forgot Akechi summons them both as well. It's still missing a Pixie, Arahabki, Paravati and Thor. I just find it unique he had 4 of them in there that Demi Fiend also summons, which he also continuously resummons when they die.
@@BuffMaister Thor and Cerberus weren't part of Demi's original six anyway. The latter was ALSO plot relevant in DDS1, and Thor didn't appear until DDS2. The only reason why he has them in the first place is only because they're among the most notable and iconic demons in Megaten anyway, and have been since the early days of the franchise for the majority.
@@jovif.spemudaindonesia1841 They're still their as representatives of iconic Megaten demons, but you're right. They're still harder than Goro because he makes them go berserk, where they hit like a truck, but they die quickly, and after Goro changes into his dramatically worse outfit, he's also a complete pushover. Goro is a fucking joke, on par with every time you fight another Persona user in the Persona series.
Hm? Ringo's VA is the same one as Guilty Gear's Elphelt? If so Gnarly. Can't wait to get this smt installment. Loved old school Smt though I hope Devil Summoner 1 on psp finally gets its English patch
damn the boss fights are such a let down in this game. generic human + asset fliped models from previous games. no more cool unique monsters or transformations like p5 or dds or heck any persona.
Not only are the humans not generic (potentially to their detriment, as many people hate their designs), they are active participants in the fight, with their own gimmicks and skills. Every single boss Summoner has their own unique shit they bring to the table, even RS, the most straightforward of them all. Couple their own skills with the fact that they synergize with their demons, and there's the fight. Also, if you're complaining about asset flips, then you might be a fan of the wrong franchise. These demon models have been around for decades and just get iterated on with each successive game, and their animations specifically have been around for even longer. Also, I don't know about you, but I fucking love when you get to fight other demon summoners in Megaten games. The fights against previous protags in the SNES SMT games, fights against other Persona Users (although they're always complete pushovers, in every game of the series) the various fights against other Summoners in Soul Hackers OG, every time you fight another Demon Tamer in DeSu, the Hunter tourney in SMT IV. I love when you get to fight another summoner and see their team comp, see what kind of combos they roll with, what kind of gimmick they're going for, and so on. Finally, I think the final boss of this game, has more of what you're looking for.

so Hozumi played so much SMT Nocturne he brought Demi-Fiend's/his setup into reality lol

The singing in this track sounds like Nier; but with rock added to the mix!

No, Summoner type battles like this are just a staple of devil summoner games, they're in desum 1 and soul hackers
@@michellewade7346 Correct, but OP is moreso specifically referring to the demons summoned.

@@manuelmateo3392 Either way, it's just worth noting because DDS Demi-Fiend started the trend in particular
Now i want a Demi Fiend fight in Persona 6
It will be perfect if Cu Chulainn scream "EAT SH*T!!" when attacking
Also banger battle music
lol why does he have to say that, is this some kind of smt meme?

Replace Kyouji's affable demeanor with smugness, and then I see it. Also, Daisuke acts quite different from Kyouji, intentionally.
Ngl that blade he’s carrying looks almost like the engine blade from final fantasy xv.
Nice, banger bgm ngl
well Goro Akechi also summoned both Cu Chulainn and Cerberus

Using 4 demons at once the most I've seen is 8 with raidou I guess depending on how strong you are you can use more demons at a time.
So the Persona MCs are god tier
@@imperialjapaneseguy7799 they only use 1 at a time though
No, it just varies. It's not at all a rule, people can summon as many demons as needed at a time if it looks cool.
Before it was due to magnetite management. Magnetite is still in this game but in a very minor way (drop for upgrades)
I'm trying to hard not to compare some things in this game to persona or SMT and I'm failing horribly. On the plus side I really wanna play this now

see that terror in their eyes
What kind of Demi fiend is that? XD
Not really one.
Dude the guy's been on screen for 10 minutes and I hate his guts of all people 😂
İm gonna make some amv of this
Too easy of a fight even on very hard
