      @@uprising4c19 The switch version is far better anyways. It has all the content from the 3DS version with a few extras and the best Mii Maker in history with literally infinite possibilities. Plus the Switch is far easier to record than the 3DS since the switch uses USB-C and is therefore easily compatible with a capture card while for the 3DS you have to physically mod the console to add a USB slot in order to connect the capture card. The only downside is no spotpass for finding miis easily but that can be solved by going online and using codes for users with hundreds of the best miis. I think there's an entire subreddit for finding miis in Miitopia switch. Plus better graphics.

    I liked Ansem and Xemnas in KH3. The fact that they were working for Xehanort, who showed no signs of them in his behavior, must've been quite the crisis of mortality. Both dealt with it in their own ways; Ansem sought out Subject X to repent, while Xemnas doubled down on the nastiness. It's why I think even with DDD Xemnas is compelling. From the start, he was created to die, restore Xehanort, and become just another vessel on the shelf. Like Roxas, Xemnas would never have recompleted like the other Nobodies; he'd just be meaninglessly subsumed into Xehanort's return. In 358's secret journals, he mentioned using Kingdom Hearts to become more than human. How I interpret that? More than one specific human; Xehanort.

    • @KrimsonKattYT
      @KrimsonKattYT Рік тому +8

      That probably has to do with Xemnas having part of Terra's soul/mind within him. He's not just Xehanort's nobody, he's also Terra's because Terra's heart was still in his body when Xehanort possessed him. Only his mind/will/emotions became the Lingering Will, which ironically doomed him because of he still had his mind within his body to reason Aqua would have been able to exercise Xehanort's spirit and free the guardian/Terra's heart during the true final boss in BBS.

    Surprised not to see Lucifer of the Shin Megami Tensei series mentioned, being one of the eternal pillars of that long-running series just as much as YHVH. He's always there to try and draw you onto the path of Chaos with reasoned arguments, his most notable entry probably being the one secretly running most of the show in Nocturne, even being the secret final boss. However the series has others who have taken on similar roles to the Morning Star with gusto- Dagda from SMT 4A or Naoya from Devil Survivor.

Unfortunately, too many modern Christians lack the same wisdom that Lewis shows in the Screwtape Letters.

    For me Ivo Shandor from Ghostbusters: The Video Game fits the Satanic archetype and his boss fight is quite fun. He is not only a behind the scenes villain in the game, but one that one that is staring you in the face for most of the game. Shandor's motivations are also interesting as while he initially wants to help Gozer destroy the world like the movie mentioned, after Gozer gets defeated a second time, he decides to become a diety of destruction himself. And he succeeds the team needs to cross the streams to stop him for good (thankfully this is in the Ghost World where the laws of physics are joke you tell friends at parties so nobody dies but Shandor himself).

    Asmodeus from Pony Island is very underrated. It's such a simple concept, you just gotta constantly keep your eyes on him and he will ask you questions to determine if you're still looking at him. Its simplicity is It's strength, as it makes a fun mind game trying not to get distracted as he does things like hide messages on his face, fake game crashes, or fake notification sounds.
    Plus mythology wise, it fits the theme. Asmodeus is commonly proposed as the "Lord of Lust" out of the seven deadly sins. The Prince of Lust wants you to keep your eyes on him. It's just a fun, well executed mind game that's thematically appropriate for mythology.

    If I had a nickel for every time Josh reawoke my childhood trauma of the Wormy episode from Spongebob by showing the close-up in one of his countdowns, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but I'm still mad that it happened twice.
    Edit: Correction, Josh did it THRICE! That's another nickel ya owe me, Fire boy!

    the achievement for beating the devil in Cuphead is titled "Swing You Sinners" which is the name of a 1930s Fleischer bros cartoon featuring Bimbo the Dog as he is tormented by spirits for being a horrible shitty person he is which his deeds range from stealing chickens, chasing girls and shooting craps. it's implied that he was dragged to hell in the end but i saw the short and i'll say that the ending devolves into a acid trip.

    Dude, Raphael from Baldurs gate 3! That boss fight is genuinely insane! The music alone make the fight S tier. The devil that has been stalking you all game, trying to make a deal with you, and you finally face off against him. Suddenly, a powerful operatic voice blares. It is beautiful. Then, Raphael starts singing his own boss music! It is genuinely amazing

    Wooo!!! DRAGALIA MENTIONED! I loved that game, and really hope Cygames and Nintendo do something with the IP in the future.
    Also, given the blatant mention of an upcoming Gods list, maybe Xenos the Progenitor will make the list. Also kinda surprised at no SMT entry. Catherine's close FWIH, but not exactly Lucifer or any of the other myriad Devils found in the series. Though YHVH is probably a shoe-in for Gods, only question being which fight? SMTII might be too old, SMTIV Apocalypse is awesome though I could see his dungeon docking points. Looking forward to it!

    The lack of Lucifer from SMT is pretty surprising. But then again, he's not a figure of evil in those games, so I guess that's why. More of an anarchist seeking freedom from the totalitarian rule of YHWH's control, and any other systems that get to dictate the rules of a universe. SMT 3/5 he's at his most interesting, tempting the player into destroying the Conception system because the very system itself is an issue that forces one's will upon everyone else unfairly, and it's technically just YHWH's way of keeping himself on the throne because this way the universe will reset itself without triggering the Mandala system. The said Mandala system is then the reason Lucifer stops caring about everything and simply seeks freedom from all systems, granting the player both his and YHWH's essence so what ever he decides to create will be freed from the Mandala system. He doesn't even care if the player chooses to bring YHWH back, because he's that done with everything. Maybe he saw YHWH as a victim of the Mandala system as well.
    In SMT 3 his boss fight is one of the best in the whole game, and it can be brutally hard if you're at a lower level or you're playing the Chronicle version on Hard. SMT 5's boss fight is pretty cool too on the True Neutral route.

    • @KrimsonKattYT
      @KrimsonKattYT Рік тому

      Lucifer is still evil in SMT. Yaldabaoth may be just as bad most of the time, (primarily in the main universe, MT universe, and the SMT4 universe) but Lucifer is still an extremist and anarchism is a messed up idealolgy. His plan to destroy the universe in SMT3 is still a bad idea. Did you forgot that the conception wasn't even supposed to trigger in Nocturne? It was activated thousands of years too early by an insane cultist. What God ACTUALLY wants in that world is for the world to be restored so it can follow it's natural course, which you do in the freedom ending. The conception wasn't solely created so that God can remain in control, those are just the lies Lucifer tries to trick you with. It doesn't even make sense, since the conception is only supposed to happen when the world was already on the brink of collapse and humanity mostly done for and mainly serve as a reset to preserve humanity. The whole "reason" thing was a gift to give humanity the ability to shape the new world as they please, it's intent wasn't malevolent. God in SMT3 and SMT5 is actually pretty benevolent all things considered. Also in DeSu1. In most SMT games other than those three it's basically ""God" is actually a false god and the devil is just as bad. Go kick both of their asses." Neutral is almost always the best ending all of the time in those games, while in SMT5 it's Law and in DeSu it's also Law tied with Neutral. That's because law is naturally the best alignment when God is actually decent and no one can argue unless they're a god hating anti-theist. In SMT3 it's freedom/light neutral because all the reasons suck and you can't form your own because Lucifer screwed you over to groom you into becoming the arch fiend.

    • @matteste
      @matteste Рік тому +2

      That's the funny thing about Lucifer, how can you be sure that he isn't evil? He is known as the Lord of Lies after all. He could be your friend, or he could just be stringing you along. And in Nocturne, no matter what ending you go for, Lucifer gets what he wanted. Either data on the use of the Magatama's, a middle finger to God, or if you follow the labyrinth, a new general. No matter which path you take, he wins.
      Though I will say, they kinda gutted his character in V.

  • @JohnDoeADeerAFemaleDeer
    @JohnDoeADeerAFemaleDeer Рік тому +1

    I’m going to again put forth a proposition from Library of Ruina and suggest Pluto as a contender for this list. While he’s not technically a “devil”, he looks the part and has powers focused around magic contracts that offer dubious benefits with hidden costs.
    Pluto starts his fight by throwing out a set of five Contracts, one for each member of your party. You pick who gets which one, and if you desire it one person can take multiple contracts in order to free up other people. Each Contract gives a huge buff to whoever has it, but imposes equally crippling penalties if you violate the accompanying terms. There are two ways to deal with these: either build your team in line with his Contracts to dodge the penalties, or just drop them all on a few people who you expect to die. This works because of how the rest of the fight is designed.
    For the first Phase, Pluto summons copies of your team to fight you, forcing you to either prove you know how to use your characters, exploit the Contracts for an advantage, or hope you get lucky. Once all the copies are dead, you can finally start whittling away at Pluto’s shields. All the while, he’ll go through a cycle of locking one of your teammates in a force field, summoning a copy of them, and then swapping the health of the original and the copy. You can only free your trapped party members by hitting them until the field goes away, so the health swap can be a blessing in disguise. All the while, Pluto’s reserves of magic will gradually fall as long as you can Counter his attacks. Eventually, Pluto’s shields go down and you can take him out.

    Well to some that don't know nor played the game, Fate grand Order had its own versions of Heroes, Gods, Demons and Devils But the one who is the "Devils" of the Game are the Demon god Pillars who are known as "Beasts" that are known as the enemies of humanity, but during the First Arc of the story the player and the Servants battle the legendary 72 demons of King solomon who have been corrupting the Timelines of Human history that plotted to incinerate all of humanity under the command of the leader of the 72 demons Himself, Goetia. Goetia was the true mastermind of the first Arc of Fate grand order who sent his demon brethren to 7 different Timelines such as New Orleans, Rome, the Caribbean, London, America, Camelot and Mesopotamia to try and bring Ruin to all mankind, But after each Singularity of these timelines were fixed and fighting alongside many heroes of those timelines came the final boss Named Solomon who is actually Goetia in disguise who showed that his reason for all this was because he saw Humanity as a Annoyance and must be eliminated. Luckily the player and All the heroes defeated Goetia and his 72 demon pillar army and brought humanity back on track. The thing that makes Goetia a Tough final enemy of the solomon Arc is that he has a life of 1,500,000 and you have to have a Squad of 6 servants with the right Skills and abilities to try and hit Goetia with everything you got or else he hits your team with Multiple attacks and depending on the right skills you must guard your team against his Noble Phantasm that unleashes a Gigantic Blast of energy. So i say Goetia would have also been another Devil boss added to this list. :)
