Nah she's an optional boss and an easy one at that (she's a damage check, all she does is heal) and to get her to that level you've gotta do a lot of fusion fuckery. The real superbosses in SMT V are Demi-Fiend and Satan. I guess Shiva counts if you're a bitch.

>Maria’s body has various beasts and serpentine demons attached to it, like Cerberus, Griphon, Nandi, Mizuchi, Yamata-no-Orochi and so on. This chaotic aspect exists due to Christian Maria assimilating mother goddesses of various regions. The mother facet of Virgin Mary fused with the prostitute facet of Mary Magdalene and became the mother of the crucified Jesus after hearing his words, as depicted in John 19:25-27.

Christianity assimilated multiple religions into it, adapting multiple cultures and traditions in order to make Christianity the dominant religion in Europe and more with the help of colonization. Because of that, Maria is interpreted as an amalgamation in SMT. She is a representation a mother goddess or holy virgin seen in multiple other religions across the world.

That's not true and is just you projecting the Abrahamic concept of extreme religious fervour to pagans. All it actually took to convert them was for their nobility to convert, then the people followed.

For sheer entry level?
SMT1 & 2 SNES or PS or GBA is essential.
SMT3 emulated or remaster, whatever you prefer.
SMT4, some may argue try Apocalypse, I'd argue they try lobotomy.
You may as well Strange Journey while you're at it, there are strong opinions about Redux as well but that one I'll leave to you.

The obscure stuff mentioned here about events in NINE requires emulation or patience with a video, because I doubt browsing the wikis will make a lick of sense.
While you're watching vids you may as well watch the DDS Megami Tensei and Shin Megami Tensei: Tokyo Revelations anime movies. They don't provide a lot of context for SMT though, the first is the premise for the Megami Tensei Games you can play as the Kyuyaku Megami Tensei compilation which has elements that SMT references or uses but isn't vital to know, the latter movie is actually closer to Giten Megami Tensei but you probably can't play that, even so it's still interesting to watch. Very abrupt ending though, I'll warn you.
For a similar vibe see if you can find the Devilman OVAs while you're at it.

Norse mythology added the story of Ragnarok due to Christian conversion because at the end of it, the world makes way for a new tree and the first human beings, a man and a woman thanks to Odin. This was the church trying to say that even God's creation myth is in their own mythology and that norse mythology is actually just christian faith. This was all made up shit. They looked at what others were practicing and said "look what you believe is already in the bible!!!" by twisting the truth or adding addendums to their pagan myth. Cry and bitch all you want. There are tons of examples of this.

Norse myth was recorded after Christianity started being practiced, before then it was all word of mouth. Everyone around icelanders at the time (like the Saxxons) used similar names for what they refereed to as the first humans. Ask and Embla were entirely different and written by Snorri Sturluson who was a church mouth piece and practicing christian who also held a ton of land and was incredibly wealthy which is why his accounts were spread including his fanfiction that added an Adam and Eve story to norse mythology.

That's what makes SMT cool. It's largely anachronistic nippon interpretation of mythological figures. And you can argue it's apt in a way because followers of those religions would probably find modern mainstream interpretations to be largely if not wholly anachronistic. It's like if you use a photocopier (boomer moment) on the same document over and over again. It's a semblance of an idea of a thought of someone's interpretation.

Yeah, that’s more of a modern summary than a primary source. Doesn’t really prove the Church deliberately hijacked Juhannus with official doctrine-more like they just slapped Saint John’s name on top to co-opt the timing and make it easier to convert the locals. Like they did with Saturnalia and Christmas. Classic assimilation tactic, not exactly a Vatican deep-state operation.

I legit hated that, in the original you can understand he becomes overbearing because he was always looking for approval but scarcely given a chance, so naturally he jumps into Abdiel's lap from how patient and supporting she is with him and turns on her opponents to keep in her graces.

With CoV he IS given a chance, and DOES get approval from his circle, but becomes fucking vile simply from being offered.

The only good thing about VV is the gameplay and the bos- actually those are also just gameplay because their designs are ass. So the explor- wait that's gameplay too.

Instead of there being pre-existing human partners for the Demons trying to become a Nahobino, make the MC one of the rare humans capable of being molded clay, i.e. groomed.

It's funny there is a SMTV thread up because I just jumped back into my old save file. I wasn't very far because I couldn't get into the game, but now it's really picking up for me. The first 2-3 hours just drag and feel boring. I'm doing a pure STR build. I'm at 70 STR but I'm only level 32, and I noticed the game really expects you to powerlevel/grind consistently. I actually feel underleveled for where I'm at in the game, so I'm not sure if I'm missing some kind of XP booster skill or what? Does the XP just pick up later on? Do you get some kind of passive that doubles/triples your XP?

I can tell you that I had no trouble leveling up in Persona games, especially in P3 because Tartarus is just one giant leveling arena with 255 floors. It feels the XP is much slower in SMT games.

If you explore the map then you shouldn't need to grind as much. If you really feel like you need to level more, you can always creamapi the magatama demons in that give you oodles of levels glory and money.

You shouldn't be grinding at all, I remember you can easily stay at the target level from the EXP you get from completing quests without ever doing random encounters. Quest EXP is pretty big compared to what you get from battles.

Unless you're talking about leveling your demons. Demons in SMT don't level up past the first few levels, you're meant to swap them out constantly. You can keep your favorites relevant with grimoires which Mitama drop, but even then you really only have enough to keep 1-3 demons all game.

They have some complex gimmicks but what I meant is you really can only beat DDS DF one way, by following his script. In V DF you don't have to stick to the script to beat him (in fact the classic strategy is to Mute him constantly and make him skip his bullshit.

I prefer classic Satan by a lot, but I don't think Doi Satan is bad, just wish they went with the original concept where he was a snake instead of humanoid.

Lucifer on the other hand I think Doi one is brilliant, easily my favorite look for him, and my favorite re-design. I kind of wonder if it wasn't based off an unused Kaneko concept since it feels like a complete arc from the original character.

Yes. I love the combination of it being so lavish and ornate with the irony of his true and ultimate form being a machine angel, the one thing he's adamantly fought against. The 6 pairs of wings is something Kaneko has been teasing since the beginning of the series, and the fact that at the end of everything, this is Lucy's revelation it's perfect. Like Char or Devilman Satan, it's equal parts glorious and pathetic.

Having the last exchange between this rivalry that spanned 10 years in real life, 14 in-universe, being Char pissing himself over Amuro accidentally killing his underage indian prostitute mommyGF during the OYW and Amuro being completely befuddled that it was all for this is amazing
