Since they're incorporeal or whatever, I assumed that what they meant was that the reactor was created by nihilistic people.

[up][up] Apparently the final DLC reveals that even in the timeline where Flynn was successfully swayed by them, their plan didn't work right. Derrrrrrrrp.

I think that is hinted in the mangas too. I think jon/walter ask them who or what they are at the end.

Also the White are only right about stuff From a Certain Point of View.

I haven't seen anyone answer the most important question of all regarding Apocalypse yet: does the Terminal Guardian return?

[up][up][up][up][up] I thought that Flynn was from the law ending.

edit: Okay, I thought he was from *just before* the law ending.

Flynn dies in the Law ending. Any epilogue where he's alive isn't law.

Well the Stephen DLC seems to be about Stephen grabbing a bunch of heroes who died and giving them a second chance if they can beat him.

The thing about the White is also in the Stephen DLC, in a Hunter Log. Turns out in the White-win timeline, the black hole "only" took out one universe, not the whole multiverse... and Flynn survived, in spirit, as well. He regretted his actions and reincarnated himself in the universes of the Demonic Gene and Prayers manga.

Well the ending itself was clearly a reference to Devil Children's Red/Black Armageddon ending. Where the Devil Children protagonists survive the destruction of the Universe that Michael and the angels wanted. Then Hoshigami remakes the universe and sends them back in time to not make that stupid choice again.

Plus it'd make sense that an ending that leads to New Game Plus wouldn't actually be as finale as it tries to pretend it is. Still it's Law Flynn in the Stephen DLC.

Artbook scans by Stealing Knowledge coming tomorrow at 7 PM, EST.

If nothing else I admire the guy's dedication, even scanning stuff for the games he doesn't like.

[up] Thank you!

...I like that rejected Ananta design.

Huh, so YHVH was inspired by demonized forms of gods that His worship supplanted... and He takes on a similar form after being degraded Himself.

Makes sense. Why shouldn't he be capable of being demonized when he's the same as them?

A lot of thought did go into these, looks like. I was right about Maitreya's fatness coming from his Hotei form, and Krishna's supposed to be a "trustworthy normal guy" so he doesn't have his blue skin. Visnuflynn having Energy Weapons is apparently a nod to an early concept for the Samurai; did we know this already?

Yes the Samurai were basically Jedi originally. So Vishnuflynn is a Sith Lord.

... I really hope Atlus USA localizes the name to something besides Vishnuflynn.

I sure said that!

No that is wrong to do that. This isn't a willing fusion like the others he was made this against his will. Vishnuflynn shows this while just Vishnu wouldn't. Just as his past life fused and became Masakado not Masakadoflynn or something silly like that.

In the Hindu epic poems Krishna has what's basically a Super Mode; I can't recall its name right now but they could use that.

Interesting tidbits in the artbook, to be sure. I particularly like the bit where they explain why Lucifer and Merkabah have a connection with Satan.

The interviews also make me really interested in what the Great Will really is. Based on the interviews, it seems less of a god and more like the soul of the universe or something like that whose emotions turn into gods. I also like the comparison of the Great Will to an infant.

I suppose that means the Great Will is actually a Star Child?

Maybe Platonic God?

Not like Abrahamic God who supposed to be a person as well.

Probably not even a god, I think; more like something that is to gods what gods are to humans.
