      Dunno if everyone knows this but the person who wrote the outline for the setting and plot for the games couldn't finish her work due to health issues, and later, eventually released a light novel with how she would've written the plot differently to the game's, and the hair was a slight plot point there, where everyone's hair is basically every outlandish colour but black making Sera unique in that way, and that the eyes were the same colour as their hair, changing to new colours when the characters start getting and displaying emotion, there's other details in the novel that slightly show up in the game, like in the novel Gale was straight up a robot and his hoodie was there to protect exposed circuitry and Sera being essential to control the hunger, though the novel is more f-ed up about it by making her Blood being what let's people control themselves, with Gale essentially making a production line out of sucking her blood and using it as a bargaining chip in negotiations for alliances among other things

      1) Yu Godai, the original author, only wrote until the first boss, it says so in her novel of Quantum Devil Saga.
      2) The self insert is true but he did it not because of his waifu in If... but because of a real life actress he really admired and thus the whole Tamaki thing happened. He got a massive backlash from fans due to this.
      3) Satomi left Atlus after DDS, he didn't push anything for the PSP releases of P1 and P2 since he wasn't part of the company anymore, Shoji Meguro directed those (except Eternal Punishment). He was contacted to write the new Tatsuya Scenario for the PSP release of Eternal Punishment. And has *NO* copyright on none of Atlus's games nor their characters... sheesh... what the fuck...
      4) He didn't go with a middle finger, dude... he left on good terms and apparently he didn't write the Caligula Effect, he just wrote the concept of it.
      5) And... when has he *ever* shit on stuff not written by him? Has he been on an interview I didn't heard about? What ego? The guy doesn't even have something like twitter or facebook to even "show his ego"... (personally speaking, he's the best writer Atlus had).

    Everything you need to know about your party's relation to the demifiend during the secret boss fight can be discovered by a single fact:
    The song that plays during the fight? The standard encounter theme from nocturne. Not even the boss theme, just the 'oh boy, another grind battle coming up' theme.
    As in, for you, he's a super secret, hidden boss... but for him? You're just another random encounter.

There are six novels in Japanese but only a few years ago were they translated into English. They are so in depth and flesh out so much of the story and characters. Please read it if you can.

    Some tips:
    The Cells can be sold at a maximum depending on the Solar Noise. Some sell better at 0/8 and others at 8/8.
    Also, get the anti-stomachache ability ASAP since you can get a stomachache just before the battle ends, rendering your gained atma negligible.

    • @Nintendo122333
      @Nintendo122333 4 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Yeah it sounds really weird until you get deeper into the game. xD
      1) Cells are items that are specifically for selling to gain Macca (the currency). Do NOT sell anything other than these cells unless you are absolutely sure that you can, as every item counts.
      2) In Shin Megami Tensei, you usually have something called the Moon phase, which changes every few steps. So you get 9 phases, from 0-8 (New to Full) to 8-0 (Full to New). In DDS, you instead get "Solar Noise" which basically acts the same way. These phases effect various things such as critical rate (if you have the right skill) and how much you can sell the aforementioned Cells.
      3) A feature specific to DDS is the ability to eat demons to gain "Atma points" or "AP". You can eat demons with a specific skill that allows you to insta-kill them when they're HP is low enough. Eventually you'll gain a skill that allows you to deal damage on top of eating them. However, what is really annoying, is that if you eat a lot of demons without break, you'll end up getting a "stomach-ache" as soon as you eat a demon (lol realism). This status ailment prevents you from gaining AP, which is used to gain new skills. It's an absolute hindrance if you want to strengthen your characters, as you can randomly get the ailment after the battle ends and not be able to heal it. Equipping the "Anti-Stomach-ache" ability is an absolute must if you want to consistently eat demons.
      I hope that clears some things up for you. Sorry for the long post. >_

    All good advice, though I would add that you shouldn't ignore luck entirely. The success rate of certain attacks depends heavily on this, most importantly incoming inatakill (hama and mudo) and status attacks work much more often if your luck is low and you will rarely get lucky with crits. A high luck build can be very potent, not many enemies have super high luck stats so a decent luck rating guarantees at least one hit of a multi hit physical attack will crit thus granting an extra turn. Also, way more item drops and significantly higher chances of rare drops.
    I'd also add, don't really worry about guns for all your teammates it is a complete waste of money. Have a couple dedicated gunmen for the rare gun weak enemy or hama user (humans are immune to light based attacks, a bit helpful against certain bosses) and buy only for them.
