Every Admin like Polaris and Arcturus are YHVH level. Canopus is the Great Will equivalent.

And there are innumerable Star Gods of Admin level.

...

So the Septentrione and the Triangulum could be seen as the equivalent of Angels then?

[up]x4 So? They're capable of rational thought and we're capable of rational thought. Calling us vermin who don't deserve to be listened to just means you can't adequately defend your own points.

You imply they care about humans in the first place to even call them vermin. All Admins and Canopus are logical and machine like in their thought processes, having to oversee the universe and ensure it functions and not focus on insignificant blue dot unless it threatens everything else.

Alcor even outright states they have Blue-and-Orange Morality in Triangulum and Canopus is even more alien than them.

Yeah, well, I don't disagree with it from a storytelling standpoint, but I can think a character is wrongheaded.

... Maybe I'm not making sense. I apologize.

Well something to remember is that Daichi+ has Polaris admit their resolved has touched Providence and shown mans potential. So it's possible, but it's extremely low.

There are more endings where humans submit to what our Alien Overlords want, screw themselves over, and fuck over the entire system for themselves at the expense for what life exists out there that isn't a Star God.

I've noticed that the character page entries for Flynn on both Shin Megami Tensei IV and Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse now list his English voice actor as Keith Silverstein.

Is there any solid proof that Keith is the VA? It would be nice to finally get some confirmation to make the character pages more accurate, seeing how Wikipedia lists Grant George as Flynn's VA and the Megami Tensei Wiki lists Bryce Papenbrook as the VA.

And no, "he totally sounds like Keith!" is not good enough proof.

Astharoth is screwing me good.

Even when I got counters against Luster Candy, Physical, and Bufu skills, he busts out Megidoloan and then it's GG.

[up][up] Try comparing the voice in the trailer to some of the other roles that Silverstein has done, like Zen in Persona Q, Mondo in Danganronpa, or Full Frontal in the Gundam Unicorn anime. I can't really say much about IV since Flynn had no dialogue aside from saying Burroughs's name there, but based on the lines he's spoken in both Apocalypse trailers so far, and recalling previous roles, "it totally sounds like" him to me.

[up]Again, I think we need some definite proof other than "he totally sounds like him." I'm not saying that the people who say Keith Silverstein voiced Flynn are wrong, I would just like some solid confirmation on who his VA is, something that can be solid confirmation.

Finished watching the Triangulum arc (well, the world without the administrators ending at least).

At some point, I'll look through Youtube for other endings (or maybe go for it myself), but for now, I think I'll move on to another game.

Probably Digital Devil Saga. See what the deal with that is.

...Maybe Devil Summoner as well. I was looking at that for a bit back when it first came out for 3DS (never did get to buying it, though I suppose I still could via download, but we'll see).

...As for the ending of Desu2, I do wish we'd gotten close-ups of Io and Daichi's new clothes. I feel the same to a lesser extent about Ronaldo and Makoto's as well, even though it's easy to make out.

Also, there seems to be a subtle indication that the characters retained their memories this time, if them meeting together in the new world is anything to go by. Either that, or they all ended meeting up naturally and became friends anyway. Whatever the case, that's that.

[up]

I've been doing that.

It's been interesting (though I already read up on the plot, so I know the big twists).

Seeing the moment where characters gain their emotions is interesting.

Plus, is it me, or does the voice acting seem pretty good for a game from....which Playstation was it even for? It looks pretty good, so I'm assuming probably 2.

Soo... I dont know if people will be interested in this but might as well tell it

In the first Devil Children anime. Power, normally a mid-level angel in the games. Was shown to be strong enough to fight against demons like Azazel and Belial,

(I just wanted to mention this because I really like Devil Children.)

Well the Devil Children anime is different from the games. Some of the stuff is consistent with it though, but Power is a mid range demon in levels, Belial was a Dirty Coward, and Azel was a Big Bad Wannabe who usurped Lucifer in the games.

[up] Huh I did not know that. Mostly because I never played the Black Book and Red Book games.

But I am still somewhat sour that the anime did not show Cool and Veil in their King Cerberus and Kiing Griffon forms!

Yeah the anime had a typical Monster of the Week format and did loose version of some plots from the game.

@Rob it shouldn't take long to watch the other Record Breaker endings. Just skip the Final Boss fight as the dialogue is the same, except no boss in Miyakos.

[up] The second half of the anime really got kind of boring. Especially since even when Setsuna and Mirai got new demons they only ended up using. Cool, Veil, Jack Frost, Mechi, And Sphinx. Well atleast I managed to enjoy it despite those issues.

Speaking of wich I have a question in regards to the Light and Dark anime. To this day I have not been able to found episodes from 9 to 20. Ummm... Do you know why? Because I dont really like to skip out a part of a story against my will.

No idea. I've heard Lucifer appears in those episodes though, probably to explain Valhalla and Makai are different places.

Man, DemiKids. Dark Version was my introduction to this series way back when I was a kid, and it kinda threw me for a loop- It looked like a standard Mons sorta game, but it was pretty hard for me then and the story got surprisingly dark in spots.
