Is there a reason why the spells are called Bufu, Maragi, Ziodyne, Hama, Dia etc.? Is this some kind of obscure phonetic thing, a regional (Japanese) thing or is it just a case of Atlus wanting to be a special snowflake?

The -dyne prefix comes from Greek. Bufu comes from some some Indian language. Zio is an alternate name for a Norse/Germanic deity. Garu comes from Garuda.

Honesty, i had a hard time remembering smt spells.

It's a Mega Monsta Mashup Mix of phonetics and linguistics from all over the world. It includes influences from shit like Japanese and Greek and Nordic. There's rhyme and reason to it, but I doubt you can explain it succinctly. I can't wrap my head around it myself.
>>
>>274378556
So in other words the spells are a mish mash of different regionary stuff, which goes hand-in-hand with the theme of the games with the mixed bag of different deities, mythological heroes, etc.

Pretty sure its more of a Hindu thing than Japanese. I remember one of the later bosses in Digital Devil Saga 2 had a spell called "Black Bhakti."

That's because DDS takes the Hindu/Buddha myth more than the other SMTs.

Each game series prioritizes different regions, like mainline is more Japanese dieties and myths, DDS is Hindu. Can't think of any others off the top of my head at the moment, but I'm sure the wiki mentions it.

Just a Japanese attempt to come up with something that sounded exotic, probably borrows a bit from different languages. The whole prefix/suffix thing for different spell levels and AoE was probably just borrowed from Final Fantasy.

>>274385757
Garu is wind, Zan is "force." I think Persona 2 was the only game to have both.

>>274385579
Digital Devil Story was honestly just a pretty tasteless "technology is evil" story about the internet back when it was still primitive as hell. The only thing the SMT series has in common with it anymore is the use of computer programs to emulate magic rituals.

You people don't know how easy you have it. I've beaten this game three fucking times and I still can't remember what any of the goddamn skills do. I'm convinced half of them don't even do a goddamn thing.

You should play SaGa games, you'll never know what each spell does unless you learn them by heart.

Supposedly Agi is derived from Agni, the Hindu god of fire.

>>274387665
As a SaGa fan, what the fuck are you talking about?
>>
>>274387543
Can we really consider Pokemon as more complicated than SMT? The skills are more often than not rather self-explanatory based on their names. If not then they also give you numerical documentation on how they function.

MegaTen is a bit more bscure in this regard.
>>
>>274378556
and Dia means day in Spanish, which comes from the latin "dies". Recarm could be derived from latin as well, like in Reincarnate.
>>
>>274388121
Pokemon has hundreds of moves, each with their own types.

I guess it's technically more complex, but megatens moves are still harder to remember in my opinion.
>>
>>274388454
Of course it's hard to remember if you're not familiar with the series.
DQ spells didn't make sense to me until I played a good bunch of DQ games.
SMT spells didn't make sense to me either until I played through half the series or so.
Once you notice the pattern in spell names then it's clear as day.

Meanwhile pokemon has shit like ember, razor leaf, water gun, metal claw, gust. Stuff that is clear as day.

Dormina comes from latin roots.

I remember having a Japanese Copy of Pokemon Gold, and some moves shared some words in their names, tho I don't remember which. I think it was the Beam trio (Ice Beam, Flamethrower, Thunderbolt)...

In SMT4 at least, he was fairly neutral. He recognized that the Archangels were complete psychopaths, and decided to do away with them in a way that benefited himself. He has humanity's best interests in mind, but has his own interests at a higher priority.

Replaying Strange Journey right now. I completely forgot why I dropped this game, but I know I didn't know what the fuck I was supposed to do.

I just want to keep Pixie around forever, but summon space is getting tight at times. At least she's a cheap heal.

Also I just figured out that using the recovery spots costs less macca if I pre-heal everyone with Pixie first.

Pixie is not your waifu. Pixie is not a Pokemon. She, like other demons, are worthless monsters you bribed, threatened, and cajoled into doing your bidding. They are expendable pawns to be used up and thrown away the minute that their usefulness begins to wane.This is the most basic rule of SMT games- keep your demons up to date or you'll never get anywhere.

Not him, but to demons, power is everything. Without power, they're worth less than nothing.
When fused, even if their personality ceases to exist, their power is inherited by the next generation, so the only part of themselves worth anything at all lives on, in a sense.

Unless their skills have eventually been replaced by newer, better skills, in which case yeah they're dead.

They don't die man, they fuse. What happens when you slam two people together? They die, but demons aren't people. Wanna fuse a demon with a person? That's a ok. A demon and a dog? The dog is still a dog, right? It's ust also half demon. Don't ask, it just works.

That's why you always fuse your pixie with a cutie. You didn't fuse your pixie with a nasty ass preta, did you? You sick fuck.

Don't think about it to much ok. It makes sense if you don't think about it.

How could they fuck up DDS 2 so hard?
The first one had a really fucking nice atmosphere, gameplay, story and music.
The second one ruined all that. Specially the story, which was retarded since the plot twist at the beginning and went full retard as the game went on, specially in the last 2 dungeons.

You can probably blame Tadashi for that, since he's the one who took over when the original writer couldn't.

I've also heard that DDS was supposed to be a trilogy but that they decided to compress it into two games when the first didn't sell well, which is why 2's pacing is weird, but I can't remember what the source on that was.
