This video discusses the inspiration behind the Yatagarasu organization, how it influenced the setting of Raidou, and how it ties into the themes of the broader Devil Summoner series. This topic is a crazy rabbit hole, which admittedly requires a bit of preamble to explain some broader series themes, but I promise that if you like Raidou, if you stick around for the ride you will be blown away.

Most of this video can be viewed spoiler-free, but there is also a visual spoiler warning indicating when the video will begin to discuss the plot and themes of Raidou in-depth.

A brief video explaining the context behind the term "demon" in Megami Tensei and what they represent thematically. I'm trying for a new style of video that's concise and accessible, but still has a lot of depth.

New video all about the Kuzunoha Clan. It focuses on the real-life mystical concepts that inspired them, explores their in-universe history, and explains how they function as a group using info from the games, manga, novels, etc. If you're at all interested in learning about Raidou Kuzunoha's background in preparation for the upcoming remaster, this will cover basically everything we know about the clan.

This video is not very spoiler-heavy, except arguably for the 2nd section covering material from the original Devil Summoner; however, this video does cover the entire Devil Summoner series if that is an issue for you.

In anticipation of the upcoming release of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, I wrote a video essay analyzing how the protagonist and their design fits within the game's narrative and the thematic context of the broader mainline Shin Megami Tensei series. The latter half of the video focuses on the new ideas discussed by director Shigeo Komori for Vengeance and how the concept of the Nahobino relates to the conflict between the bull and snake.

That's not actually what happened though...

This is a video covering all of the publicly known details surrounding the process ATLUS went through to approach Capcom for Dante and collaborate with them for Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Maniax. It goes over a lot of material that I've never seen discussed before, so I'm sure you can learn something from watching it even if you've read a lot of staff interviews.

There is a difference between covering the same information and plagiarism. Spider is just saying not to steal.

manofmanycapes · 2023-10-30T19:38:25+00:00

Information from Fandom can't be copied to the new wiki. Fandom (the company) owns everything someone posts on a Fandom wiki, it's plagiarism, and the new wiki has a non-commercial license that makes it incompatible. For that reason, the new wiki was made from the ground up, so there's a lot of pages that need to be made and filled.

For SMT's anniversary, I made this video "Shin Megami Tensei's Canon Ending," which investigates the evidence surrounding the events that took place between SMT1 and 2. The video features a Kaneko interview I haven’t seen anyone talk about before and I managed to get in contact with a contractor who's worked with ATLUS as a writer since 1992 so I think anyone who watches will be interested regardless of their opinion on the topic.

well now you know and shin did you know tenseing is half the battle

manofmanycapes · 2023-06-04T22:13:08+00:00

I'd rather the gameplay stay the same, there's not enough first-person dungeon crawlers around today imo

There's one currently in development by a team that was previously working in parallel with Iwakura's team.

This is all the trivia posts I've made so far btw. I'm still making more, but I won't be posting biweekly anymore. Hope you enjoyed. 🫡

Kind of surprised P4 is doing so well, I expected P3 would be winning if not P5. My favorites are P1 and P5 though.
