[This video contains very mild spoilers for SMT If…, Devil Summoner, Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, SMT Nine, and maybe others]
A much shorter video than my last one, but I hope it's still entertaining.
Big thank you to Marsh again for inspiring me to pick up this franchise. Appreciate it man.

Check out his stuff. He channels some AVGN energy into his videos that I really miss from old YouTube, and I’ve watched his feature length reviews numerous times.
(Edit) Also I forgot to mention/thank Aeon Genesis, the guy actually responsible for the English translations the Super Famicom games. Thanks king.
Also, here is a link to the English script for Devil Summoner; it includes a bunch of extra stuff like promotional artwork, and even a critique on the TV Drama.

I appreciate any comments/criticisms you have about the video, especially this weird rambling format, or any of the silly/dumb conclusions I came to throughout.
This video took me a shockingly, stupidly long amount of time to make considering how poorly scripted it is. Man, I must’ve re-recorded this thing like 4 times, and yet I can still hear clicks in the audio. Something about my setup is just not working. Oh well, in the future I will hopefully find my rhythm and editing these things will no longer require a Faustian bargain with the Sumerian demon to make sure OBS is actually recording. I ended up having to replay most of SMT If… to get the footage (Which I thought I had but apparently didn’t), as well as portions of the other two games as well. Going back was actually pretty interesting now that I have a better understanding of how these games are played. I hope they bring Demon Loyalty back in other games.
