Shin Megami Tensei Series

You know, after reading American Gods and playing Scion, I kind of want there to be a Shin Megami Tensei game where the main playable characters are all children of gods, and get dragged into supernatural shenanigans because their parents, being gods, pissed off a bunch of superpowerful beings. The characters, when thinking of a name for their group, call themselves the Divine Powers.

Of course, it'll probably a very different sort of Shin Megami Tensei game, but eh.

The Devil Children kids dont fit that definition? Dunno, I dont remember well

Should clarify I meant a "main series game" or "something very close to a main series game."

Technically the Devi Chil kids get dragged into things by other demons while their dads if they have one don't try to make them get involved until it's too late. Like Lucifer sending a pretty boy ghost to get his daughter to go find her daddy cause he's locked away and Azazels about to invade the human world.

Unless they're Michaels kid in Red/Black cause he'll have his kid destroy the universe for being too chaotic.

I do love how Fire/Ice/Dark/Light end on the note that no matter your actions mankind destroys itself in the future regardless. All the kids can do is change how shitty that future is.

If they do do such a game, I want Odin to be back in there, once again voiced by DC Douglas, and have him quote Odin from American Gods.

Goddamnit! Omega gived the answer to that Devil Children related question before I could do so!

Omg a fan in the audience actually made a well done Dagda cosplay in the recent stream showing Megaten stuff.

New SJR trailer, complete with a better look at the mysterious Three-Faced Thing and five Cosmic Eggs.

Also there's Demonica/Demoneeho Buckets and a censored Mara keychain.

The multi-faced thing made me immediately think of Orphan.

Ah yes, the perfect item to hang on the key rack by the front door every day.

Interestingly, we see the Three-Faced Thing, but then later on we see the Wise Men looking as they always have. Does that imply the Three-Faced Thing isn't the Wise Men?

Well they could always go "This isn't even our final form!" and fuse into something appropriately boss-like.

Yeah there's nohing that says it can't be them. Even on the boxart it looked like a fused being before this.

I want a Mara keychain...

The trailer really plays up Zelenin's moe qualities. She even gets a Cry Cute before she transforms.

That one bit with Mitra really makes him look like the jackass he is. I wonder if that means the Tyrants will all be getting animated scenes.

Soo... If some scenes in the trailer are anything to go by, it seems that some demons have arrived in the real world?

In other news I just found out that we will get new info in regards to the as of yet unnamed Switch game on October 23

I love how that pic of the Law world had a literal rainbow. Just a little thing

So it seems like the cell phone game may have an offbeat leveling system. If you see here we've got a level 1 Shiva but still with endgame-level HP and a notation that the level is "1 out of 35,"

Looks like a massive oversight to me.

How so?

From your description, it sounds like Shiva should be at a higher level than "1".

The "1/35" thing is interesting to me. Maybe every demon starts at 1 and can go to 35, but some are still stronger than others?

I've seen a mobile game where every unit starts off at level 1, but the "stronger" units (ranked by the number of stars on their card) had higher level caps which let them have higher attack power. Maybe the demons work along that line?

The screenshot with Shiva says he's "Level 1" but "Grade 93." I don't know what that means but if that were a level that's about where you typically find Shiva.
