![A Complete History of Super Mario Rumors [NEW]](/img/n.gif)
so nice to see that the Demi Fiend is willing to give us some trivia inbetween his busy schedule of rejecting gods and eating bugs
I just picture Demi-Fiend in a suit saying “Hello everyone and welcome to did you know gaming I’m your host Demi-Fiend”
@@SonikkuXenoHearts3587 in a suit but only the pants, shoes and tie
@@SonikkuXenoHearts3587 That made me laugh abit
Well he's certainly recruited me.
Indeed
Thanks to Atlus for letting us interview Nocturne director Kazuyuki Yamai for this video! And shout out to Christian La Monte, who voices the game's protagonist the Demi-fiend, for doing an excellent job narrating!
nice
TH-cam doesn't show me your videos dude wtf
PLEASE RELEASE A FULL INTERVIEW TRANSLATION
WE ARE DESPERATE PLEASE
Yamai did not direct Nocturne, not the original at least. That goes to Kaneko and Cozy.
It’s awesome that you getting to interview them gives you an excuse to not decry how fucked up it is they are charging more money for the Dante stuff when it was included with the original release. Can’t imagine how hard it is to stand up when you get rid of your spines for videos like this
I didn't even realize that the VA was voicing this video until he said it, that's the biggest plot twist
Yeah, didn't click until the very end. I feel dumb.
But the demifiend never talks? I don't get it.
Got a question why is there dlc for this game when the ps2 version has dante
I don't mean to offend, but I just thought the grunts were from some sound pack Atlus had at some point (like most developers). Also, I really don't see much difference from the Remaster to the emulated version upscaled...
@@GamerBoy870 not all ps2 versions have dante
When playing SMT3;
Step 1: buff your party
Step 2: debuff the enemy
Step 3: prey to RNJesus
Step 3 obviously being the most important. If it fails, try it again.
Nah it goes like this
Step 1: Crank that STR up on Demi-Fiend
Step 2: Smack the enemy until it dies
There is no step 3.
Another possible step is to grind to level 18 for matador and get uzume.
That's what I've been doing lol
Step 4: enemy gets a random crit and you die
The plot twist was that this was not simply a collection of facts about Nocturne.
It was the Demi-Fiend *recruiting you* to his party.
Because as we all know, the Demi-Fiend will forever and always think of all of you as simply random encounters.
We're not even worth the boss music.
Party? That's a stretch. More like his army, we aren't worthy of joining his actual party.
Let's be honest. Most of us would be fusion fodder.
Still not impressed
Well, I’m sold!
**Rhys joined the party.*
"Several demons are based on myths and legends"
Did you maybe mean "literally all of them"?
It's quite an understatement
there's black frost
and that's pretty much it
Does Chemtrail count?
I mean, while demons are inspired from the myths and legends of many places, they take many liberties for them. For example, I doubt Ose was described in the ars goetia as a bipedal leopard in speedos using twin blades.
@@supersnackbros2423 conspiracy theory, he does
Can’t believe they got the REAL Demi-Fiend, Lucifer’s right hand man and ender of the world, on for a video! Big fan.
Lucifer's right hand man? The dude literally punched out Lucifer. ;P
holy SHIT I remember you; you fucking posted a comment on my persona 5 imagining project channel around 2 months ago. not unexpected, but very happy seeing you here! (comments on that channel are very few and far between, so I always remember them)
@@UltimaKeyMaster I think you mean “lackey”.
YES. SMT IS BACK ON THIS CHANNEL. PEFECT CHOICE FOR NARRATOR
The real gem here is that "SMT V is on the horizon"! We'll get there one day...!
Not good as Persona
@@ralphtaylor7448 you are totally right sir. SMT is indeed the better of the two.
Just kidding I like both as well as DDS, devil survivor, devil summoner and the others
Literally the reason I got a Switch.
I've been a very patient lad
@@ralphtaylor7448 Persona is shit
@@suicidesqueeze both SMT and Persona are shit. It’s Pokémon for wannabe edgy boys.
“Derr look at me! I’m capturing monsters but there’s blood too!🥴”
Finally!, Atlus sponsoring and making ads for Shin Megami Tensei!
Gotta make use of that persona money. Which I'm okay with if the popularity of P5 leads to more popularity of SMT.
@@Dr0dd Technically speaking the mobile game (which is technically a smt game) is making as much money as persona as this point.
Which is surprising, I thought it didn't gonna last long.
@@soragranda yeah I'm surprised too since they downsized the servers but knowing how gacha works also a bit bittersweet.
Well, at least the battle system is neat.
"voicing the demi-fiend" Does he actually do anything other than grunt when he throws a punch?
There are two or three other grunts here and there I believe.
He talks in the announcement trailer.
So basically no. lol
He does different grunts when he uses some of the skills in the game
I honestly never get tierd of learning about nocturne development, world building, direction, etc. Not only a lot of thought was put into any aspect of this game, it's also such a vital game in atlus history and shaped many aspects of company's future.
This video feels like Ignatz telling me about ancient folklore which is oddly on brand for him
I dont know who Ignatz is but Im almost certain this isn’t them
@@TheDamnWinner The narrator voiced Ignatz in Fire Emblem Three Houses, as well as the late-video reveal that he also voices the Demi-Fiend.
@@UltimaKeyMaster Oh! Haha well now i look dumb. For some reason i thought ignatz was like a youtuber and this guy thought this was them
You say Ignatz but I hear Seliph in this video
Now that I think about it, this is the closest we got to Fire Emblem x Shin Megami Tensei proper
YOOO SMT VIDEO
This is how you do a sponsored video, guys
For the record, it's a remaster, not a remake. There's a huge difference between those two things.
its a BAD remaster
Hi all, I don't want to be rude, I know this took effort to put together, however there was plenty of misinformation in this video.
1. Planet of the Apes was used as a basis for understanding how Manikins were imprisoned, they did not influence the design at all.
2. Gegege no Kitaro is pronounced "geh" not "gee"
3. It's actually Kazuma Kaneko not Kaneko Kazuma, it's unusual because in your sources you correctly cite him as Kazuma Kaneko
4. The press turn system does not appear in Persona, however the system used in P3-5 is similar and arguably derivative.
5. There isn't any source cited for the claim the demifiend was planned to have a comp, I believe this was misconstruing the discussion about Cronenberg's Videodrome.
6. The cerberus "demo" was a lan test demo not a nocturne demo.
7. Lisa was not used in any demo and was instead used to test modeling and to stand in for the character Chiaki in cutscenes.
8. Kaneko Works doesn't accredit the design to be inspired by that movie at all, and the design itself is not similar at all, the criticism regarding the nose doesn't bolster the statement because other tengu in the game also don't have the traditional nose.
9. Magatama are not beads in Nocturne, they are parasite-like worm demons
10. Maken Shao is actually an enhanced port of Maken X and not a separate game.
11. The intent to stray from the popular high fantasy concept was something considered by Atlus before Kaneko joined them, not exclusive to Nocturne and has been stated by many other major figures at Atlus, it's even why Re Fantasy is an attempt to go towards fantasy concepts since contemporary settings are the new norm.
Again, I'm not trying to pull a "gotcha" but rather I want information to be spread that is honest and not going to ripple into commonly repeated pieces of misinformation which tend to plague the Megaten community.
I agree with this and don't see it as rude. There are a few facts that DYKG got wrong here but glad you clarify and hope they reach out to you or very knowledgeable fans to help build the research.
I cant believe Did you know Tensei is here commenting to Did you know Gaming. What a day to be in youtube
This, DYKG prides itself in research so a mistake or two can be excused. But 11 are way to much for this channel. That much mistakes and the sponsored nature makes it seems they just stitched together a basic script while the release of the remasterd is relevant. I expected better especially when tackling a series with so much misinformation as the MegaTen series.
Magatamas are spirits
Not demons
Theyre just conduits of magical power
@@eatanotherzio6811 actually they are described by atlus as a "demon parasite" the name refers to being a malevolent spirit which ties into the concept of being possessed as a shaman might tap into spiritual power, but it's in and of itself a form of demon
I made a whole video about the magatama and about if demifiend eats them not too long ago haha
I just realized Albion actually has that "nsfw part of the drawing" on its design, it's just half buried underground.
Got a question do I need to buy the dlc to access Dante
@@GamerBoy870 you can get his equivalent in Raidou as free DLC, but yeah you need that DLC if you want it to be Dante instead
@@matchanavi ok thanks
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Ft. Christian La Monte Ft. Dante from the Devil May Cry Series
It seems to me that the demifiend’s appearance was likely also inspired by Tron. At least that’s the first movie that popped into my mind when the video said it was inspired by a film. The “human computer” aspect also made me think Tron, so Videodrome felt like a bit of a curveball
It's also clearly inspired by Devilman
@@Klonoa7H Good call, I didn't even pick up on that
No, the only info about the design inspirations cite trying to go the opposite of devilman and tattooed shaman.
The human computer thing was a dropped concept, as was the video drone concept.
9:38 I am so glad they added this, in the original I spent literal HOURS watching tv and spaming "fuse, unfuse, fuse, unfuse" to check skills until I got the godly combo.
Wait is there an unfuse button???
@@blatchie4608 I meant that in the menu for fusing you could back out of the process right before fusing and then reroll your skills. It was a process most people used before they let you pick your own inherited skills.
They changed Mot's AI so that he doesn't cheat like a bastard anymore 0/5
He only did that in the hardtype hack anyway
@@fuukafriday8733 no not really. mot was simple on normal but still spammed beasteye constantly.
@@fuukafriday8733 Nope. It was common in Normal and Hard mode on the base game
@@fuukafriday8733 No, he was broken originally too. I'm European so I had to play the Lucifer's Call version, not sure about NTSC release, but on that version he definitely abuses Beast Eye a lot if you're unlucky.
Meh. Im happy with the change honestly. I didn't like that in the original
“G G G no kitaro” lmao
It's still weird to me how an obscure trilogy of novels would give rise to one of Japan's biggest RPG franchises, especially since I doubt the author of the original novels has any involvement with the series.
Ok, now I'll go and play SMT3 while listening to the Red Hot Chili Peppers
HOLY SHIT SMT IS BACK ON THE CHANNEL
Demi-fiend: "now allow me to show you how the game was made also to say that the game is out" a good marketing stunt that atlus had done
The English VO for Nocturne is fantastic! Great work. I was skeptical if a game like Nocturne would even benefit from a voiceover at all, but the whole cast nailed it. It was great.
Oh hey Seliph is voicing this video
Seliph requires money to save Granvale
And also Ignatz.
Who the hell is Seliph?
@@backupschmliff1156 He's from Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War
@@luckypikachu4892 Ew...
The VA for this video was a real treat! It was literally hyping me up the whole video.
The reveal at the end is honestly the best part.
I'm so happy that SMT is FINALLY back in the news.
There's a fan theory that has SMT5 taking place after Nocturne. The SMT 5 trailer features the Nocturne version of Lucifer over the 4 and 4A version, as well as allude to a few things that happen during the TDE, as well as a demon near the end that could be Demi-Fiend himself.
Featuring Demifiend from the Shin Megami Tensei series
"gee-gee-gee"?
Oof
I know, right?
I really hope that this remaster does well, so we can see more SMT rereleases.
PFFFFFTTTTT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
I WISH. But Atlus clearly didn't care about this game and dumped it on a small team. It's like they wanted the game to reach the same success as the original with not reaching the expected profit. I've accepted this truth.
It’s a horrible remaster, I hope this does poorly so Atlus will put in more effort in their remasters
@@nitinanku This is dumb. If this remaster does poorly this will tell Atlus to not remaster more games. Think, dude, think. It's not that hard.
@@theLikou1 still, atlus's handling of the remastered shouldn't be excused
@@kirbythekirb59 What didn't you like about it? I thought it was a pretty good remaster
Here's hoping more SMT and Persona games come to PC
All main platforms
Doubt any of them will come to PC anytime soon. Which is odd since Persona 4 Golden sold so well.
@@Vyse195 Atlus is a weird company to say the least, hell it's Sega that's been pushing to get these games multiplatform, not Atlus
@@Vyse195 well, SMT3 releasing "day 1" on PC aswell is atleast a sign that it might change in the future.
Sega really, REALLY needs to baiscally give them big pressure in that regard. All their "let's make some series stick to one for platforms for absolutely no reason" is just shit for their fanbase and makes no sense with the popularity that ATLUS has gained in the past few since, especially since Persona 5.
I also doubt that their repeated surveys did not show them that people play and want their games on all fucking platforms rather than (mainly) sticking to one, like Persona to Playstation or SMT to Nintendo (3 on PS2 was kind of an outlier).
P5 Strikers and SMT 3 HD are already a good start, but it needs to start being a tradition to release multiplatform
Now if they could just be bothered to localize the first two
They are available on psp i think
@@gigagrave not officially, just fan translated, the first one was on iPhone and iPad, not sure why they took it off though
The 1st one is localized ,only for the IOS tho
@@selectioncrescimento like I said, they took it down for whatever reason
@@sparkydoodle696 lol the other comments hadn't shown up when i said that , but thats weird
Just seeing these quotes just goes to show the type of overworking culture Japan has. Must suck when a director says "relishing the occasional days I was able to go home."
The younger audiences will definitely love SMT 3 Nocturne because of the Featuring Dante badge meme. Memes can sell a game better if used right and Atlus is aware of the meme.
Excitedly waiting for my preordered copy to arrive this week. Always appreciate SMT and Nocturne love.
Love smt 3 to death (and the other smt games) happy to see this here today. Happy to learn more about one of my favorite games
Kazuyuki Yamai did not direct Nocturne, Hashino did. Yamai only directed Maniax version.
My favorite parts of this video is when they are still talking about Shin Megami Tensei V.
It makes me so happy to see how far this has all come. I can still remember being in high school over a decade ago feeling so elusive knowing all my gaming facts I'd get off the daily updated website before it was something everyone knew about. But now the fact that everyone knows what DYKG is all about is so great in it's own way too cause there's so much knowledge for us all to share now that we wouldn't have otherwise.
@6:00 The Press-Turn system isn't present in the Persona series. Unless "groundwork" implies the One-more system stems from the Press-Turn idea?
Regardless this was a great video
Going that Atlus also tweeted about the press-turn system being used in Persona, I assume they mean the one more system is based off the press turn system
One More system is fundamentally based on the Press Turn system.
@@XWingToast gotcha thanks for the info
This has to be one of my favorite videos
*That plot twist at the end of the video thou*
"Ah yes clearly the Demifiend was influenced by the Tron serie-- uhh, I guess it was Videodrome instead."
Really makes you realize how influential Greek mythology was in ancient Europe.
Finally, after many years you make a did you know SMT part 2 💕
The tidbit about the idea of giant demons using Tokyo as a stomping grounds is particularly cool after having played through a fair bit of V. My homies Surt and Lucifer never looked so imposing and I love it.
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne would never take advantage of our innate gullibility
Soo, can we have Digital Devil Saga 1+2 and Devil Summoner 1+2 next as a HD Remaster? Pretty please?
Man I love SMT especially since P1+2 dont get much love nowadays. Though makes me wonder what will happen on Persona 1's 25th anniversary this year? Makes me wonder if people are still looking for those SMT3 demos so they could upload them to the net. SMT > Persona, P1-3 > 4+5
I know it's never going to happen, but the dream for me has always been a ground up remake of the 2 duology, with the focus on revamping the dungeons. Dont try to shoehorn in the calendar mechanic or social links, but bring in the Once More mechanic to make general combat flow more im line with newer titles, and allow the teams to go wild creatively with interpreting the dungeons for a 3d space.
@@TheKillerStove Ah a fellow cultured P2 fan. Nice to meet a fellow fan of the older or obscured games. Honestly I would love to see a remake of 1 and 2 the duology. Though of course only bring in the press turn system from the later SMT and Persona entries, I would agree with you 100%. The social systems would be redundant since the world and its characters are already developed nicely imo. Honestly I never bothered to maxed out the social links at all in 3+4 I just dont care. Honestly at this point I would even settle for something as minimal as an anime adaption or even showing off Naoya as Persona's 2nd and final rep.
“It became more common to hear younger fans of persona 3-5 saying how their interested in playing games like nocturne”
Hi, hello! Thats me!
Same
Nocturne is one of the best SMT games; highly recommend it.
That was me until I saw the price, so I got SMT IV and Soul hackers on Eshop
yeah same, i couldnt buy the hd remaster of smt 3 so i just grabbed the ps2 version, but one day i will buy the remaster
*Matador boss fight flashbacks*
I was going to get this game (again) in a couple days anyway, so this is just a really nice bonus. Thanks!
Also good job on picking a way to advertise the game Atlus.
I just started playing the game last week. Absolutely love it. Just beat Matador and Dante a few moments ago.
The DYK SMT video we deserved
Can't believe the Demi-Fiend advertised his own game to us.
Been loving finally playing through Nocturne again. Labyrinth of Amala is just as painful as I remember.
This is the best game series ever. Pokemon fans would love it.
Still wanting for that SMT 1 and 2 remake.
damn y’all got an atlus sponsorship? well done
The twist at the end!!! Wow!
I really hope someday Atlus would consider remaking or rebooting the first 2 SMT games or maybe the 2 Megami Tensei games with modern graphics and gameplay
Really cool to hear the devs actually said some stuff for the video.
Also yoooo english demifiend made this video?? Thats coool
The twist at the end lmao
On the horizon uh? Thanks Yamai
@Jweezy MA MAN
@@DavidCastJRPGs Yoo David I knew you'd be here to appreciate this quality content
@@_JENOVA_ Sup bro thanks! 👌
@Jweezy BASED
Fantastic video and choice of narrator!
That is extremely not how you pronounce _GeGeGe no Kitaro_
I love nocturne, back when I first got the ps2 version I remember telling you of the hook of the story that within the first hour the world ends, and you're now trying to figure out what to do, that's a hell of an opening (didn't know about the other smt games at the time)
but I also have to say, since digital devil saga was my first smt game or subseries played, I hope to hear of ports of those too...
Picked this up on day one. Game is fantastic and now I'm just wishing they'd do the same with Persona 3!
I've been wanting persona 3 to come out remastered for years I think that is still the best persona game
YEEEESSSSS
@@samuelbrannon5396 Maybe in terms of story and characters. But the gameplay is really poor. Dungeons are repetitive, batlles are unnecessarily difficult due to poor balancing and the inability to control party members, and the social links are impossible to complete in one playthrough without a guide. Not to mention that most of your party does not even get one.
They barely remastered it, I'd prefer a full on remake for P3, although ig an hd port to modern consoles would be nice.
@@TheKewlPerson Persona remake would be the best thing. 3 is already the best one in my opinion, so if they just improve it and even use the P5 engine it could be the best thing ever.
Thanks!!! more SMT content please!!!
Lol
Video legit just became an ad for SMT Nocturne HD at the end.
And they didn't even plug the mobile game.
Why didn't you guys ask about the audio compression or the steep price tag for a remaster?
Thank you for this information Demi Fiend, very cool
Man, this takes me back. Shin Megami Tensei was my introduction to the series as a whole, unfortunately I played it by a friend and never beat it - though I shat bricks when I saw Dante the first time. Now I get to play it on PC. I am so happy!
HAHAHAAHA PC! that crappy ass no good port
@@Candle_Calmness PC apparently runs better than the console versions though so idk man I think that would make it the best version to play on. Barring the compressed OST but whatever. At this point ALL VERSIONS of the game have a compressed OST so there's not really a hard choice to make unless you're stuck only being able to choose the console versions.
@@ils4844 lies . PC version doesn't even have Dante XD
@@Candle_Calmness A quick search proves you're the liar here.
I've been waiting for this
So glad that more people get to experience this game. Tho SMT3 planted the seeds for Atlus to get more known and spawn the more known Persona 3 to 5 games. I Just wish Atlus also ported Persona 3,4,5 to switch since I missed out on those games.
Really hyped for SMT5.
Now just need Raidou Kuzunoha remasters or sequel
When DYKG drops I’m here
Take a shot everytime he says "nocturne". 🥴🍺
I'm really excited to finally play this. I have the Switch version coming in the mail this week.. I loved SMT V so freaking much. I'm playing thru IV now but I feel like I'll enjoy 3 more
a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
Atlus: "We wanted this game to be more than just the third game in the series."
SMT5: "Guess I'm just the fifth game in the series then..."
SMT4: "First time huh?"
SO YOURE SAYING THAT 5 ISNT DED AND WE WERENT BAMBOOZLED.
A lot of those early ideas about Nocturne's map seem to have been reused for SMTV. So stoked.
I just got my copy on the switch today, can’t wait to tear into tilt his bad boy
Was so glad to see this HD Remaster of my all-time favorite RPG. Even if the remaster has some quirks (like the noticeable format differences in the cutscenes), I wouldn't dare complain. Was a day-one purchase for me, and it felt like a dream come true to pick my skills when fusing. Passing Watchful on to virtually every demon without sacrificing other skills I wanted felt like cheating! lol
Thanks for the sponsor, Atlus. Still not paying full-price for a nearly two-decades-old game, though. Especially when I have to pay for DLC to get the full experience. I think at that point I'd rather just keep emulating the PS2 version. Still looks good to this day, just needed a resolution bump.
I didn't expect the plot twist at the end
Honestly, I was sold when Nocturne HD was announced last year in that Nintendo Direct Mini as I was very interested in the game since I can't remember how many years (maybe since one of my friends mentioned it during one of our conversations back in... 2012 I think?), and now as I watching this video, I'm playing it on my Switch (very convenient because I can use my Switch as a "Game Boy" if I want to, as a "kind of" side comment, the game rocks, can't believe on what I missed for a long time because I didn't have a Ps2 back in the day).
Wait, Christian??? That was so unexpected but so freaking awesome!!!
Oh don't worry Atlus, I bought the HD remaster twice on preorder for steam and PS4 with DLC. You had my money the moment I heard Nocturne.
SMT VIDEO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
How It feels to be Demi-Fiend , man ?
Each time you swap magatamas he gets cramps
Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry Series!
While I love smt3 to death and it is my favorite smt game I'd love to see a port of smt4 one day. Smt4 is another fantastic game that has so much content that it would be amazing to see in hd
This is one of the best ways to promote a game. Congratz.
