It definitely looks female, which might rule out Three Wise Men Ultimate Form, but then again this franchise is no stranger to Otherworldly and Sexually Ambiguous.

Right. So my plans to get Apocalypse are kinda in the crapper.

I don't think any nearby stores here in Edmonton have any physical copies left, and I don't actually have enough money in the E-Shop for the digital Download either.

So until something changes, I guess it's not an issue anymore. I might just have to forget it.

Making this poll to share around. Anyone can share it wherever they think would add results.

It appears to be trying to see if there is any relation between the religious beliefs of players and their preferred SMT alignment.

I voted Agnostic/Law. I suppose my suspicion there is a higher power could relate to my preference for Law but I'm not sure. It is an interesting thing to think about, though.

Agnostic/Neutral. Probably more accurately "weak atheist," though - I don't see any evidence the supernatural exists, but I have no problem with people who do unless they use it to justify doing harm.

Chen's voiced by Tomoyo Kurosawa. I only know her has Christophorus from Nights of Azure; haven't seen her in any other role.

SMT Characters with D&D Alignments 1 and 2

Found these while Googling about Persona having SMT Alignments. I don't know who a lot of these characters are, can anyone help me out?

Also what do you think of their positioning? It's interesting one chart puts Lucifer at CN and another at CE.

I was talking about Mem Aleph's Chaos vs. Lucifer's Chaos in another thread. I find Lucifer's more appealing but what I remember and understood from Strange Journey, the Chaos demons were all "Mothers" and nature spirits. Now, Nature is brutal and horrible and must be subdued for the benefit of mankind..but it might still be Neutral so I guess Aleph being CN works?

EDIT:

In other SMT news, I started up SMTII. And then died to Red Bear two times and stopped.

Are you just expected to level grind or something? I thought I found all the equipment you can get from the maze but he still kills you in no time. I had a Heracles I got but that was it and it didn't help much.

Mem Alephs alignment when you get her by hacking is Neutral. Light-Neutral and Neutral-Neutral.

And I mean her fears and desire to return nature to a more primal state make more sense when you take into account we have 50 years at best on this planet before it's flooded, ice age, xpendimg through all resources, etc. Unless we start working on it ourselves, which is unlikely.

I mean there have actually been people warning about how our destruction of the environment would instigate global warming since the 1800s! Something I was surprised to learn.

Mem Aleph seems a bit more malevolent than Lucifer in SJ, at least at first - she and her henchmen initially want to just exterminate humanity, while Lucifer wants to revert them to the state of nature - which MA eventually does go along with, though it's aggravatingly unclear if she and Lucifer are actually collaborating.

Isn't every Sector boss an underling/follower of hers? They were ll varying degrees of barbaric with he first boss wanting to explicitly kill all humans, the second one being a mad scientist who liked to perform inhumane experiments for the lulz, the third one being an insane glutton, etc.. Siding with Aleph means siding with the path of most bloodshed and destruction FOR THE SAKE OF BLOODSHED AND DESTRUCTION.

Lucifer in Nocturne pitches his ideas as being one of freedom. There will be destruction but that destruction is the only path to freedom. It is not the goal in and of itself, unlike SJ where the Hell that will emerge from Chaos is easily the biggest "selling point" of the Alignment.

[up] Hey, Nature will bloom!

...that is actually the only selling point. It maybe could be positive if it wasnt because is explicitly sociopathic.

Also, we also have a group of Eldritch Abomination having sex everywhere.

(the things of the Chaos ending are in a very similar position to the buddhist Yab Yum).

Eldritch Abominations having sex everywhere. That is the new world.

The first three Tyrants and Mothers are in the Kill All Humans camp. Morax idolized and wanted to learn how to rival humans in cruelty they inflict through Wars, Mitra is insane, and Orkos is a hypocritical pig man who is just as gluttonous as all of mankind put together.

Mother Ourboros Maia, Maya, and Tiamat wanted to exterminate humans, with Maia representing Earth's Wrath, Maya losing faith in them, and Tiamat being Tiamat.

Asura/Asherah believed the worthy humans will bloom and join them. Likewise the Sectors were in part a trial by Mem Aleph to see if humanity will prove they deserve a second chance, something the races before humanity failed to do. Even the Three Wise Men believe they deseved their fates.

You mentioned earlier that the P5 group might be Light-Chaos. I kinda forget Light/Neutral/Dark is even a thing.

But with that in mind, and going off what people said way earlier about all the "Reason" endings in Nocturne being inherently Law because they support YHWH's plan, could you apply Light/Neutral/Dark to those endings?

Like, Shijima is Light-Law, Musubi is Neutral-Law and Yosuga is Dark-Law.

[up] Stupid Sexy Crew members.


[up][up] I dont think that the reasons can correspond to Law in any ideological sense, they are part of a ordenated system, but not related to Law ideology, because seriously, Musubi is literally against all of Law ideologically speaking.
