To be fair, on neutral it shows that lucifer / walter can still sometimes appear in the form of walter, and has walter's personality. And on chaos it implies that human form lucifer has walter's memories, and refers to walter's past as if it was his own past. So its not like walter sits around like that 24/7.

God loves humans and make their existence terrible.

Except in SJ he admits he forgot he even loved them.

Hell even when God leaves like in Majin Tensei he still tries to screw over every human possible by leaving Satan to kill all humans with his demonic legions.
>>

there's two
>>
>>80149963

Which is of course attack of the bad writing, seeing as the entire point of what made Johnathan law is that he was egalitarian despite being rich, and the entire point of what made the angels angels, and why they chose you no less is the fact that they force everyone to be egalitarian whether they want to or not, and put all rich people who won't give up their wealth to the sword.

So... is he just trying to be hurtful? The insult doesn't make sense anyways, since Isabeau is also fighting him, and obviously also thinks the same way. And he could easily say something that actually makes more sense in the context of his ideology. It makes me think that in Japanese he said something slightly different, and the translators weren't sure what to translate it as.

Or maybe it's the two faced nature of the angels who preach something but feel something else.

>>
>>80151004
It's part of an extra skill.

A fucking legion of Dark-Chaos foul demons use it on Gabriels stage in the Neutral Route. They bind you with it for their angelic master.

>>80150869
Angels are manipulative tools. I recall talking to NPCs in Mikado who mentioned that they banished the Luxurors they had no use for in order to make themselves look good to the people, and then they order the Samurai to go hunt them down and kill them.

Hope even tries to justify the actions to himself.
>>
>>80151071

Which... doesn't really match the personality of the angels in series anyways? Trying to fuck with you with weird taunts is more of a chaos thing. Law enemies generally just flatline that you = bad, and so emphasize exactly how defeated you're going to be / pathetic that is.
>>
>>80151004
It's Shibaboo.
>>
>>80150869
>seeing as the entire point of what made Johnathan law is that he was egalitarian despite being rich
It's also implied that Jonathan is law because the caste system of Mikado's society has benefited him as a luxuror and he hasn't built up any resentment towards the status quo like Walter has. He's a hypocrite.
>>
>>80151936
It's also mentioned by him early on in the game that his father trained him a lot as a child, so he was more prepared for becoming a Samurai than the others.
>>
>>80151936

That's him for the first half of the game. But it implies that he finally gets the point when he sacrifices himself. He used to criticize other people for being selfish, and think everyone should do more things for eachother. But then he realized that he was selfish too, and was criticizing them from a position of privilege. And so he (and by extension all of the rich) would have to give that up in order to actually have a basis to.

The other problem with the games is that they make a distinction between "bad law" and the "good" law endings. And yet for the first half, you often get law points by siding with bad law. Up until like halfway, they act like law would simply be leaving mikado in the middle ages, almost totally the way like it is. The real ending where they take the technology and abolish class has very little to do with protecting the status quo.
>>
>>80152535
I didn't see that. I saw it as him calling everyone selfish while ignoring himself.

Then in the Chaos Route his voice is heard upon Merkabah's defeat. and he can't comprehend what humans or demons want. That suggests he never understood his fellow man and called them selfish without understanding them.

That part against the Status quo is Jonathan's blind obedience to authority figures. He not only doesn't object to what those in charge do, but he quickly justifies anything they do. The Archangels as the new rulers of Mikado say Tokyo must be destroyed so he agrees.
>>
>>80149912
Se isn't the only one.
>>
>>80151936

Which is ironic when you consider that law endings are generally about removing class, whereas chaos endings are generally about having class differences. Hell, in infernal tokyo class was literally physically obviously a part of your appearance. And the chaos idea that the most aggressive who can take the most for themself should have the most isn't even remotely close to "fair." Its just another undeserved class system, except based on something that will make life even worse for the underclass.

Which is one of the issues with how the alignments are presented. In real life, collectivism based solutions are generally seen as siding with the underclass against the upper class. But in SMT, and especially IV they randomly lump both bad law "preserve some shitty system" together with "create system where everyone can feel secure." So the tone of what the law ending actually is vs how you get there is only vaguely consistent.
>>

>I didn't see that. I saw it as him calling everyone selfish while ignoring himself.


Okay... your post is one of the most chaos favoritist things I've ever seen. And you're seeing law even worse than the game shows them. Which is hard. Go watch the scene where Johnathan sacrifices himself again. After criticizing people for being selfish he says he realizes that he was always one of the people he's criticized all along, even though he didn't want to admit it. And the reason he brought up that he thought other people were selfish is that he was leading in to talking about himself. He starts talking about his own flaws and weaknesses. And that leads to why he decided he should sacrifice himself. Because if he actually wants to not be selfish he has to willingly walk to his death for what he thinks is right if its required of him. Which makes sense on law. For chaos, there's no coherent logic whatsoever for why walter does the same thing.

And on chaos when he dies, he's not just talking about human desires in general. He's talking more specifically about extreme chaos ones. He's literally blown away by how extremely selfish you became, and is basically saying that he sees you as getting on a path of more and more indulgence that you'll never be happy with, and worries that chaos influence will do this to humans. Which mastema hints at too. That by becoming chaos, you'll learn why insane indulgence is bad and eventually come back to neutral.

Actually there is a reason. Walter fears becoming like Jonathan and becoming covetous of what he has and wanting it to remain the same. Seeing Kiyoharu and Kenji in the other worlds also helped him to decide as well, and so he sacrifices himself for that reason. He also does it because he believes Flynn is the one who can truly lead the strong.

Also it is about how Merkabah/Jonathan doesn't understand what anyone wants. He talks about how all things follow God's order during the battle, while humans and demons try to defy it. He literally can't understand why they wouldn't follow God. That is why his final words is to ask what they desire.

I hate both routes anyways. The most I like about them is the optional quests with Minako and seeing Azazel spread knowledge because he believes humans are superior to Angels, unlike Lilith who is a bitch.

>>80156053

I've watched the scene. That "logic" is so ridiculous its confusing that they expected us to believe he would have it. No one who decided that they love max freedom so they can indulge and the strong can do as they please would decide that that means that they should kill themself young just to not become old. If he didn't mind dying, he could have just done what he wanted in mikado til they killed him for it. And even if they did, they might want to die at like 40, not 18. So its bizarre that they declare that both law and chaos characters would sacrifice themselves, but neutral is the odd one out... and this is a good thing, yet no one stopped to think about it? What's more, he never even asks whether its actually necessary for him to sacrifice himself. Since doing so seems more defeatist than someone chaotic should be. Or whether there's not some other gaian who they could find who would do it. Things you would expect them to actually want to know.

What would have been cool for that scene is if they provided a reason for one of you to have to, and then you had to fight Walter as a boss over who had to. Instead they just had that clusterfuck which made it look like they were trying to poorly mirror johnathan.

And merkabah is the one saying he can't understand, not johnathan. And that's more an expression of dismay than it is straight up saying he has no clue how they work. Like the chaos characters who whine that someone as strong as you should agree with them

>>80156857

Was mastema really manipulating tayama? The game seems to imply more that tayama was doing his own thing, and mastema after coming to tokyo decided that he would uphold it long enough to keep the humans safe until the ceiling is lifted. Mastema being neutralish, and tayama being "the bad version of law," implies some discrepancy.

Also, Mastema had demons working for him willingly, but tayama had to enslave them.
>>
>>80157754
They had a mutual partnership, I doubt Mastema gave much of a shit for the people in Tokyo, only that he needed to bide some time.
>>
>>80157868

>, I doubt Mastema gave much of a shit for the people in Tokyo,

What? His entire thing was that he tried to fuck over the other angels to protect the people of tokyo, and saw them as individuals, whereas the other angels only saw total result.
>>
>>80158023
woah there, let's not go crazy. Mastema is still law
>>
>>80158023
You might be delusional enough to actually believe that but I think he's just trying to usurp the archangel's positions.
>>
>>80158023
This Mastema fellow sounds like a swell guy.
>>
>>80157383
Except its Jonathan who questions what it is that they desire. Its in his voice that it speaks in its final moments, just like it is Walter on Law. Walter is more than willing to die for what he believes in, otherwise he wouldn't join Lilith.

Even the Four Archangels know that he joins Lilith and basically say they expect him to give up and come groveling back to God for forgiveness once they sees the Lord's might.

Sacrificing yourself for what you believe in is something done in chaos as well. Minako does it in her own quest, admits that she's wanted to take a red pill for awhile, but uses a method that has a very high chance of erasing her to summon Ishtar so she can restore life to Tokyo. Only a part of mind still exists inside Ishtar in the end.

The guys who actually whine about that are those scrub Gaens in Tsukiji. Belial just laughs at God's paradox, and Walters voice is the one who speaks through Lucifer and says that since they were stronger that means they were right, and there are quests with some demons you face that believe in world of STR but are impressed when you kick their ass. Though some like Cerberus gets frustrated when you keep hunting him and his horde down.l

Both entities are likely influenced by the souls they ate, as the two are implied to be the Great Spirit of Spite and Goodwill that supports Hope, but the Demon Lord and God's Car acquire them and prevents Masakado from uniting with his body on Neutral.
>>
>>80158023
Mastema believes he is following the Lord's will. Everything he does is for the Lord's sake. That's why he is most joyous when you go Neutral, as it will mean humans will come to follow God of their own will instead of just being born to follow him blindly.

No matter how manipulative or sneaky Mastema is, he is always loyal to the Lord. Heck for nearly 1500 years in Mikado Gabriel has to wait just to free the other three after Michael let her go because she was useless by herself, instead having to rely on Lilith to mess things up in Mikado before she could send someone down there to save them.
>>
>>80158079

Being law doesn't automatically mean you want the law ending. If it did, then you'd only be able to take neutral demons on the neutral ending. Mastema in IV has demons working for him as a kind of closer version to mythology mastema. In context it means that he is law, and the demons are chaos, but that averages out to neutral. In clipped wings he insists that he thinks the lord's true desire is a good version of a neutral world.

>>80158140

Why would he be doing something different than them then instead of just trying to do what they are doing better. His character in Iv is way different than in SJ, and it makes it pretty clear that regardless of personal goals, he does actually believe in neutral.

>>80158645

The ironic part about that is that if lilith didn't do that, you'd never have come down to stop them, and so they could probably have a more assured victory. Unless we're assuming they're so weak that actually fighting tayama was off limits. Which makes them worshipping their own strength ind of funny.
>>
I'm just getting into this series of games with Soul Hackers. How do you deal with death spells? I've just gotten to the mall area and it seems like death spells are becoming more and more standard for a demon's spellset.
>>
>>80158840
Actually all the demons in Midtown are Law aligned. The Tengu even complains about how Mastema is the big shot in Tokyo and he doesn't like it.

Though those grunts of Tayama who learned that Lilith is a demon suggest that Mastema does usually does the talking with demons.

>>
>>80159452
Demons are not always consistent between games and in fact can have a entirely different personality in another. Now some bigshots generally are but others are not.

Tiamat was a bitch in SJ, but the one in the IV challenge quest doesn't even understand why humans would take part in the RedxWhite tournament since humans always lose and die and she can't back out due to a contract.

Asherah is Asura in SJ, while the two are different demons in IV.
>>
>>80158387

>Except its Jonathan who questions what it is that they desire. Its in his voice that it speaks in its final moments, just like it is Walter on Law.

I've watched that scene about 20 times. That's not what happens. Johnathan's voice is not the one who asks what humans desire. Merkabah asks sadly why humans and demons struggle to deviate from the lord's will, when its obviously right. Johnathan addresses just you specifically, asking what it is that YOU desire, implying that your selfishness is out of control even more than normal non-law characters.

And the issue isn't that its impossible for anyone on any side to sacrifice themself. Its that it specifically makes the law and chaos characters do it, but NOT neutral. Which comes off as very bizarre, since you'd think that the implication of it then is that something about the outliers causes it. Which if we're not going by logic that allows everyone to, you'd hardly expect it to place chaos closer to law than neutral. Even if you were selfish and chaotic, that doesn't mean you want to let your friends die to become the arm of a schoolgirl you don't even know.
>>
>>80159806

Also, you know, the fact that in II the archangels minus gabriel support the "bad version of law." Yet in IV we suddenly are supposed to trust them to do the good version? IVs story even literally parodies IIs, yet randomly ignores the precedent set by the angels. Even worse than this is that in nocturne even gabriel wanted muh wurld of STR, so by this point we can more or less expect the archangels to be on a totally new side every week.

Of course, Zayin in II says that the angels had the right motives, they just started doing it wrong, and it ended up badly. Which is a bit vague as to what that means. Its hard to rationalize the center as being well intentioned, or even lawful.
>>
>>80159925
If I remember right, doesn't Flynn's previous incarnation merge with Masakado when he becomes the dome?

Both Kiyoharu and Kenji survive in the Law and Chaos routes previously, so their next reincarnations likely die.
>>
>>80160726
Don't forget DDS, where they overwrite their human selves and eat a bunch of humans and plan on making Tokyo Millenium all over again.

Gabriel is the only one who realizes they are wrong, but is too much of a coward to stand down and try to get them to stop, so she just fights you to the death.

Nintendo doesn't attend TGS, and I'm pretty sure IntSys is the one developing. Best you could hope for is a Direct near the event, which is doubtful since they've been doing game promotion in waves, so they won't start pushing another set of games big until Bayo2, Smash, etc. are all released.
