Because it's not. Like, in Castlevania Lords of Shadow 1 you LITERALLY punch out Satan. By yourself. With your actual bare human fist. That tops my list.
@@karry299 And in Nocturne, you LITERALLY punch an Avatar of God. Yes, the God. Capital G. YHVH. An Avatar that is as strong as the real deal, by the way. Heck, in SMT II you DO punch the actual, actual actual, in his true real form, God YHVH.
Hijiri wasn't in the hospital when the conception happened; he did in fact die and was resurrected without realizing he died (because he's cursed by God to repeatedly be stuck in worlds with no power). This is explained in one of the peepholes in the Amala Labyrinth. Besides that's holy crap you have a good memory lol.
Actually he was in the hospital, you just never seen him there prior to the conception. When you met him in yoyogi park he said he was on his way to the hospital as well. When you meet him at the hospital terminal, he mentioned he got to the hospital just before it happened.
"Man fuck you! That's how we got in this mess in the first place! Fuck I'ma fight you!" The accuracy in this one is so strong that I can't stop laughing
First time I went through SMTIII I rejected ALL the reasons and never beat the optional dungeon, so I got the WORST ending. You don't get a final battle, you just get told you fucked up and there's now no way to remake the world. That sucked. :p
if this game got remade... maybe add another optional dungeon. like how super paper mario added a second pit of a hundred trials (that game is ass though but nice idea).
I found this video very entertaining from start to finish. Having played the game myself (but not completing it due to losing my PS2), I think you did pretty well remembering the plot. And I loved the presentation throughout from the faithful text dialogue boxes to your cute BlazBlue Radio-esque sprites. I also like how you threw in references to other games and media such as Undertale (considering the game was heavily influenced by Shin Megami Tensei). This feels like the American equivalent to vanila.ice trying to recall Stardust Crusaders. So thank you for this entertainment video. I look forward to watching your other episodes! :)
Well, you don't kill God. It's implied you will eventually try to do that, but in the game, you only kill an Avatar of him, and it's after that where you fight Lucifer and become the General of his Army.
@Kaidoku123 Well, he certainly didn't kill him for good. Thing is, you can kill God and he can still survive it. It's said in the series that as long as just one human longs for order and law, God will always return. Aleph killed God in SMTII. Yet God still lives on in other games. We'll have to see how future games will handle SMT Apocalypse. Also, I don't think it has even ever been established which Nocturne ending is canon. Only thing that speaks for it I can think of is his appearance as a Bonus Boss in DDS. Unlike in SMTII, where no matter the ending Aleph kills God.
I wouldn’t say he had the worst ending, but imo that’s the worst ending lol. The whole game implies change, and then “the sun” gets pissed off at you for just rewinding the game
I... honestly do not think I ever got past Matador... Cause that spike was real. Like, more real than potentially your first battle in 4... Cause you have a real chance there just... dying, first battle. Also, yea... DO put Dante in all the games. I'm looking over at FF15 when I say that for some reason.
See it's attitudes like that from a community that can turn people off of a game franchise... I know I've tried to get people to play Dark Souls... cue waiting for ABI to say 'so it's just like Monster Hunter'.
I was really underwhelmed with the difficulty of the Matador fight because it had been so overhyped to that point (but then I was playing on Normal). Nocturne was my first SMT but I had experience with Persona at that point so it wasn't totally alien to me. You definitely learn to appreciate the value of buffs and debuffs and especially Dekunda and Dekaja with some of the stuff the enemies like to pull. It helps that my usual style in RPGs is to use everything I can to tip the scales in my favour anyways (one of the things I like about SMT is how difficult it is to outright break the game unlike many others in the genre). Then there are assholes like Mot who just like to have infinite turns every now and then but we don't talk about that. :p
I can actually answer that now that I'm no longer trying to recall this plot on the spot. This was part of a joint-deal between Atlus and Capcom at the time. The director of Nocturne felt that Dante would be a perfect fit for the post-apoc demon world, so in exchange they had SMT series artist Kazuma Kaneko provide the designs for Dante and Vergil's Devil Trigger forms in Devil May Cry 3. Plotwise he is present in the Vortex World at the behest of Lucifer who has hired him to slay demons, including the protagonist. After a while Dante figures out who his employer is and cancels his contract, instead offering a contract to the player, which is how you recruit him. Hope that answers your question! -A.B.I.
+SugarPunch Design Works Thanks a lot , based on your inital recalling of the story , it seemed as if Dante had literally no point in being there .On a sidenote its really cool of you guys to actually specify whos writing the responses , thats a thing that always irks me on a lot of collab channels so thats cool ... anyway thanks , have a nice day.
***** he killed Virgil in dmc 1 after Virgil became corrupt by mudus in dmc3. So in dmc2 when he is going to Hell there is no Virgil and Virgil son Nero has his sword from dmc4
Like a big example for some of the fiends being out of order. Matador is supposed to be in the tunnel between Mall 1 with a bunch of Fallen and Mall 2 with a bunch of Oni. Then Daisoujou is supposed to be in Mall 2 after the headquarter got nuked by Red jam. Man, Smt Nocturne has a bunch of skeletons for fiends.
all of them are skeletons. except raidou and dante. I guess they are the bull skeleton guy, the monk skeleton guy, the nicolas cage skeleton guy, the crowned bow skeleton guy, the skeleton guy with the sweet laugh, the balance skeleton guy, the shinigami skeleton guy, the devil may cry trade mark series non skeleton guy, the drinking skeleton babe on a beast and the trumpeter skeleton guy.
That's my favorite Recall vid so far. God damnit ^^ When I try to remember it that's *exactly* how it went (ef you Trumpeter!)... Bravo! That was very entertaining! :'D
ok. ok. seriously I've never laughed this hard. I'm now subscribing. and in all honesty that's how me and my friends try to recall old games we've played hahaha
Ash Arthritis Why? Because you could potentially just have you and Pixie in your party (Still don't know how I beat him, took three tries, but I did it).
Lol, awesome video. Woulda been sweet to hear your commentary on the Labyrinth of Amala being hell and the old guy being the devil... and of course Dante joining your team in the process.
No seriously put Dante in Smash Bros. dammit! Put him in Mortal Kombat 11! Revive Darkstalkers as a Devil May Cry spin off just so you can put Dante in darkstalkers! DO IT!
*cough* this is where the original devil may cry and devil summoner ends . the true ending was the demon ending meaning dante and raidou failed to do there jobs
To be frank, I found out about Nocturne because I was sick about the Persona 5 hype and started going farther back into that franchise, and later branched out to Digital Devil Saga, Devil Summoner and Nocturne, watching the cutscenes and boss fights as movies. I didn't even know Dante was in the game until he just casually appeared. I still think THIS should have been considered what Devil May Cry 2 was.
Daisoujou haunted my nightmares, he was hella hard. Surprise, I can just instakill a bunch of your demons with my light monk powers, drain all your mana and your only hope is to spam fog breath and hope the RNG gods favor you. F**k you very much Daisoujou lol. The difficulty spikes in this game were brutal.
Not when going in blind if you don't happen to have a team that's not weak to force and some agility buffs or debuffs, which the game doesn't really hint very much towards you needing beforehand IIRC. No excuse for fucking up round two, though.
I am inclined to agree, basically he he has a werid AI, if you use the basic spell to drop his evasion...like more than once, he uses his best evasion raising spell and fucks you. If you use a Demon who has Fog Breath, you can fuck his world because APPARENTLY he doesn't respond to that spell. As far as I can tell, dont ask me why.
See, unlike Evangelion - it's pretty easy to understand what happens in Nocturne. This Third Impact stuff...what is that ? Who are the angels ? Why do the other Evas attack ? What the fuck is that Longinus Transforming Needle shit ? I have no clue. You cant POSSIBLY derivate an explanation from the series itself. In part because Hideaki had no fucking vision and Evangelion is just a hotpot of random shit thrown together, as he said in some interviews.
Having just replayed the game because of the HD Remaster... Man this Recall is absolute TRASH 🤣 It's completely wrong... That's why I love these vids though 😁 👍
"Man fuck you that's how we got in this mess in the first place" I just about died at that.
"AND THEN YOU PUNCH THE SUN"
It's funny how accurate this one line is...
Because it's not.
Like, in Castlevania Lords of Shadow 1 you LITERALLY punch out Satan. By yourself. With your actual bare human fist. That tops my list.
@@karry299 And in Nocturne, you LITERALLY punch an Avatar of God. Yes, the God. Capital G. YHVH. An Avatar that is as strong as the real deal, by the way.
Heck, in SMT II you DO punch the actual, actual actual, in his true real form, God YHVH.
In bayonetta you literally punch GOD in the face
AugustusCaesar how did they get away with this without facing any religious controversy?
@@carlbloke8797 Because they didn't punched Allah in the face or some other real world "god".
1:05 “ The whole game is about humanity and their sins and the first of which is your pants”
I love that line so much! So savage!
In my opinion, If you want to pull of those pants, you have to be shirtless. Wearing that hoodie makes the pants an abomination to fasion
Hijiri wasn't in the hospital when the conception happened; he did in fact die and was resurrected without realizing he died (because he's cursed by God to repeatedly be stuck in worlds with no power). This is explained in one of the peepholes in the Amala Labyrinth.

Cahutalama Raptor Jesus was right. The lady in Black explains he never made it to the hospital. That's why some people think he's Aleph from SMT2.
Yeah he only ASSUMES he reached the hospital, but he in fact did not.
Trumpeter fight in a nutshell:
*DOOT*
Everyone is dead
Diurdii
Thank you Endure!
first turn unless i bring pixie with fucking 1hp
Trumpeter: **DOOT**
Demi-Fiend: **DEAD FIRST TURN**
Nocturne has the most legit-ass fucking soundtrack ever.
Just sayin'.
agreed
I noticed SMT IV has some tracks from SMT one. BTW, Gameboy Advance rom got an English patch
ONE MORE GOD REJECTED
This one's easy.
"Quick! We need to gather teenagers with attitudes to save the--"
*World Ends*
"Boned."
"Boned."
"Boned."
"Fucking Boned."
Wow. I had never laughed at the plot of a shin megami tensei game before seeing this video. One subscriber earned
"Man fuck you! That's how we got in this mess in the first place! Fuck I'ma fight you!" The accuracy in this one is so strong that I can't stop laughing
I find it funny how he calls the conception the third impact when the shiijima reason is literally just the Third Impact nearly word for word.
Polka dot suit guy has that Vegeta hairline.
Today is a good day to revisit this video.
Man fuck you! That's what got us into this whole mess in the first place. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
First time I went through SMTIII I rejected ALL the reasons and never beat the optional dungeon, so I got the WORST ending. You don't get a final battle, you just get told you fucked up and there's now no way to remake the world. That sucked. :p
You could have also gotten the Freedom ending depending on how you had answered the questions at Yoyogi Park
if this game got remade... maybe add another optional dungeon. like how super paper mario added a second pit of a hundred trials (that game is ass though but nice idea).
In the remaster HD, they replace Dante with Raidou from Devil Summoners.
If they remake this video, they need to replace Dante.
My comment didn't age well now that Dante appear in remaster HD as DLC.
@@anggakarapreviandana2877 yeah you comment aged so badly it got young lol
You got a lot right, but also a lot of things wrong
still fucking hilarious though, subbed

Mystery Ezekude also them commenting on how badly designed the polka dotted idiot was hilarious
Maximilian Dood in nocturne would be dope
Didn’t age well
@@lo_01140 Why?
Oh man, you never got the true ending?
You charge into heaven with an army of demons and kill god =P
Well, you don't kill God. It's implied you will eventually try to do that, but in the game, you only kill an Avatar of him, and it's after that where you fight Lucifer and become the General of his Army.
@Kaidoku123 Well, he certainly didn't kill him for good. Thing is, you can kill God and he can still survive it. It's said in the series that as long as just one human longs for order and law, God will always return.

The true Demon ending isn't the true Ending
This video just stopped my anxiety attack in its tracks. Thank you so much xD
One of the best rpgs I have ever played. I'm on my 4th playthrough, start another every few years and it's still fresh as a fucking lettuce.
8:20-8:23, turns on subtitles, this happens: "don't know what there is to prevent your legs not everyone is rain book"
I... honestly do not think I ever got past Matador... Cause that spike was real. Like, more real than potentially your first battle in 4... Cause you have a real chance there just... dying, first battle.
Also, yea... DO put Dante in all the games. I'm looking over at FF15 when I say that for some reason.
Matador is casual filter for a reason
See it's attitudes like that from a community that can turn people off of a game franchise... I know I've tried to get people to play Dark Souls... cue waiting for ABI to say 'so it's just like Monster Hunter'.
Reading Too Much Into Things really, matador isn't that hard, just, use support spells
I was really underwhelmed with the difficulty of the Matador fight because it had been so overhyped to that point (but then I was playing on Normal). Nocturne was my first SMT but I had experience with Persona at that point so it wasn't totally alien to me.
You definitely learn to appreciate the value of buffs and debuffs and especially Dekunda and Dekaja with some of the stuff the enemies like to pull. It helps that my usual style in RPGs is to use everything I can to tip the scales in my favour anyways (one of the things I like about SMT is how difficult it is to outright break the game unlike many others in the genre).
Then there are assholes like Mot who just like to have infinite turns every now and then but we don't talk about that. :p
Reading Too Much Into Things If you think that's hard... wait until you encounter Mot, or Beezlebub unprepared or blind, THATS hard. ;)
Barely a minute in, fashion police and it's wonderful XD
Slade Thirteen ikr
SO WHY THE FUCK WAS DANTE EVEN IN THIS!?!

+TheOwnerX5X on a side note the ending of dmc2 is where Dante starts novturne
***** he killed Virgil in dmc 1 after Virgil became corrupt by mudus in dmc3. So in dmc2 when he is going to Hell there is no Virgil and Virgil son Nero has his sword from dmc4
***** lol ya dmc1 and 2 are the forgotten step children in the series
you got most of them right, but some of them are out of order

Do you guys plan on doing more SMT plots in the future? Awesome video BTW, most I think I've laughed in a while.
oh yes definitely, I at least want to take a stab at Persona 3, and eventually have an episode of Raidou Kuzunoha games. -Majikura
All great choices. I look forward to them!
SugarPunch Design Works well it took a while but glad you finally got to Persona 3! Congrats!
I can't wait till he gets to the Raidou games
Missed the edgelord ending (best ending), but still funny.
3:30 Finally the plot of Durarara!! is going somewhere
fantastic XD great job, gents! two bonus point for All of Humanity Horse LOL
he said it, so it's gonna be on there
That's my favorite Recall vid so far. God damnit ^^ When I try to remember it that's *exactly* how it went (ef you Trumpeter!)... Bravo! That was very entertaining! :'D
ok. ok. seriously I've never laughed this hard. I'm now subscribing. and in all honesty that's how me and my friends try to recall old games we've played hahaha
"Polkadot Polnareff"... 🤣
My first exposure to the plot of nocturne 😅
Also you have really damn good memory for being able to summarize most of this so accurately
This video is genius holy shit
casul
forneus is by far the hardest boss in the game
Ash Arthritis Why? Because you could potentially just have you and Pixie in your party (Still don't know how I beat him, took three tries, but I did it).
Jacob Eppler what
Ash Arthritis Yeah, I beat Forneus with Demifiend and Pixie only. It was not fun at all.
Jacob Eppler you know what I said was a joke, right
also that doesn't seem even remotely hard to do
0:40 that’s the SMT5 MC while waiting for their official Uniform
(Because OF COURSE you have to order such killer threads!) XD
Lol, awesome video. Woulda been sweet to hear your commentary on the Labyrinth of Amala being hell and the old guy being the devil... and of course Dante joining your team in the process.
Big Nocturne fan, that was funny as hell.
1:25 [Sees the first Evangelion movie] Ohhhhhh.... Now I get it.
i played this recently and you fight the first Fiend before Dante in the sewer with the Manikins
This was really fun to watch!
No seriously put Dante in Smash Bros. dammit! Put him in Mortal Kombat 11! Revive Darkstalkers as a Devil May Cry spin off just so you can put Dante in darkstalkers! DO IT!
The ending is so accurate
*cough* this is where the original devil may cry and devil summoner ends .
the true ending was the demon ending meaning dante and raidou failed to do there jobs
I can see how you might have confused a little boy Lucifer with a young maid, it happens pretty often.
Yep
XD
omfg i just found out about you guys, and that littlevmills reference has me sold XD
havent laughed so damn loud in a while XD
Try to recall the plot of Devil may Cry .
That video would be five minutes long and very easy to do.
The character designs make it look like everyone's wearing fake moustaches
"The Third Impact" Hahahahahqhahq
To be frank, I found out about Nocturne because I was sick about the Persona 5 hype and started going farther back into that franchise, and later branched out to Digital Devil Saga, Devil Summoner and Nocturne, watching the cutscenes and boss fights as movies.

I think it's confirmed that Dante's Ending in DMC 2 leads to Nocturne.
@@Green-Raccoon777 Unfortunately not, but to be honest it would be cool if it were.
I played this game and took a break and came back and had no idea what the fuck I was doing and I never beat the game rip
I had the opposite experience where playing this game is what made me try Devil May Cry
This was great. Subbed
that totally in a nutshell you forgot another ending
So, Polka Dot Guy is basically just Cyrus from Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. Huh.
punch the sun in the face lmfao
Omg this is too funny, i need to subscribe right now.
it be kool if this was done with every smt game out in the us
Moments Dante shows up:
4:09
11:25
thanks for the video
Daisoujou haunted my nightmares, he was hella hard. Surprise, I can just instakill a bunch of your demons with my light monk powers, drain all your mana and your only hope is to spam fog breath and hope the RNG gods favor you. F**k you very much Daisoujou lol. The difficulty spikes in this game were brutal.
And then you get Nocturne Maniax.... where you get to be the general of hells armies and wage war on god. The end. XD
Oh my God! This is EXACTLY how I remember this game as well! LOL! Demon Google! 10 out of 10, subscribe, thumbs the fuck up!
I didn't understand much but, I had a great time anyway (:
3:11 Also praise the special Pisaca from Nocturne who is sold by the Shady broker. He/She makes traveling around the game easy.
do the true demon ending guys, cuz dante and lucifer lmao
Should have gotten the TDE..oh boy blue butts
Tackle Devil Survivor, Persona 2 Duology,Strange Journey,or SMT 4/Apocalypse
This video cracks me up
Never played this once. Really want to because of this video
you guys are too funny
I played persona 1 way back in the day on ps1 for my first megaten game.
AHAHAHAHA! Man, it's nice to see that some people know that this game exists and can rib it, in a way that only someone who played it can. Sweet!
Demon Google like regular Google but not as evil
Have either of you guys played Xenogears or Legend of Dragoon?
Xenogears yes. Legend of Dragoon no.
+SugarPunch Design Works omg! do xenogears!
In my opinion the best RPG of all time.
I like those pants...
Matador was easy. He's just a casual filter.
Not when going in blind if you don't happen to have a team that's not weak to force and some agility buffs or debuffs, which the game doesn't really hint very much towards you needing beforehand IIRC.
No excuse for fucking up round two, though.
Yea because farming is the new difficulty. Go play God Hand.
i don't even Not everyone is good at rpgs, and if they play similarly to how I do, they don't start farming unless they need to.
i don't even I finished God Hand and killed Matador on the second try aw yea
I am inclined to agree, basically he he has a werid AI, if you use the basic spell to drop his evasion...like more than once, he uses his best evasion raising spell and fucks you.
If you use a Demon who has Fog Breath, you can fuck his world because APPARENTLY he doesn't respond to that spell. As far as I can tell, dont ask me why.
0:08 Saw this coming.
Featuring Dante from DMC
shit baphomet makes an appearance
you forgot the true demon ending!
i mean he's not wrong
See, unlike Evangelion - it's pretty easy to understand what happens in Nocturne. This Third Impact stuff...what is that ? Who are the angels ? Why do the other Evas attack ? What the fuck is that Longinus Transforming Needle shit ? I have no clue. You cant POSSIBLY derivate an explanation from the series itself. In part because Hideaki had no fucking vision and Evangelion is just a hotpot of random shit thrown together, as he said in some interviews.
it's too bad they didn't tell the TDE
the boy with the old lady and the old man next to the maid is lucifer
3:50 onikuza
This video was fantastic, and I love this series.
I want to kiss you both. Consider me subbed.
There was a plot?
Bring out Dante some more!
lol i watch this video over and over and over...
its sooo goood :D
#NocturneFTW
I gonna call this suit guy Narancia's father
Nice one LMAO
So was all of SMT basically based off of Evangelion?
smt came out way before eva
More like eva was based in SMT
I love the character design of the game tho. My taste.
& Knuckles
seems legit
Having just replayed the game because of the HD Remaster... Man this Recall is absolute TRASH 🤣 It's completely wrong... That's why I love these vids though 😁 👍
Still my favorite game, except maybe Xenoblade.
I disagree with all the CANCERTALE shit, but this is pretty accurate to Nocturne
ye
So...I see Dante did nothing to contribute to the plot
