Guess who just beat SMT IV

Full spoilery thoughts under the cut.

TL;DR: Hard recommend for those who like Persona and want to get into SMT. Game is easy for SMT games if you do a magic build, and make sure to bring the fusion calculator and a guide if you want to do Neutral Ending. Resources used: Neutral Route Guide, Detailed Map of Unclean Land, Detailed List of Sidequests, Universal Fusion Calculator (Does not censor spoilers!!!!!), SMT IV HD Texture Pack

This game was an experience. I loved the characters so, so, much. Lucifer, Merkabah, and Masakado were a joy to look at design-wise. A friend of mine actually informed me that Lucifer's second form has a very stark reference to the fact that Walter was eaten by him, but I think Merkabah's was a bit more horrifying. As in, Remnants of Jonathan were nowhere to be seen, mostly in the first form. If you're wondering, I *Did* go for the Neutral ending, with my team of a Magic build Flynn, with Vishnu as support, and Mara and Shiva working as my physical attackers. I did want to fight Masakado in the DLC Quest "For the past... For the Future...", but I decided against it when Masakado not only wiped the FLOOR with me, but also that the guide i looked at recommended that I use Fiends and Archangels as my team. which, if you dont know, Archangels are gotten by another DLC, and the Fiends are extremely tedious to get. My only complaint is that the Neutral route was unsatisfying, but i think thats everyone's opinion. I played for the story and the fun characters in the end. Not for the gameplay. Because at that point, Lucifer and Merkabah were like wet tissue paper. Thanks again to @meme-boys-blog for motivating me to finish past Minotaur and beyond. Cannot wait to continue my SMT adventure with you. Onto SMT IV: Apocalypse! And Nanashi hitting Masakado with a steel chair. My plan there is to shoot for killing YHVH. Because as far as i can tell, thats canon going into SMT V.

i think smt4a was kind of stupid, mostly in regards to some of its story beats, but vishnu-flynn's hair being down does in fact do things to me

Collecting info and discussing the nuances of Massacre Flynn

Similarities between Bonds Flynn and Massacre Flynn

Both recognize Walter and Jonathan

Both are available on YHVH's dungeon on battles

Both help you threaten for more while fundraising

Both fight against YHVH in a separate party from yours

Same skill set

Differences between Bonds Flynn and Massacre Flynn - Similarly to Nanashi's "Dagda", Massacre Flynn says similar battle voice clips as he does in Bonds but with an ominous tone. - Massacre Flynn accompanies Nanashi everywhere in Tokyo (all domains, sidequests and even Twisted Tokyo). Bonds Flynn is only available in YHVH's dungeon. - Massacre Flynn is invisible in the overworld. Bonds Flynn's physical 3d appearance is shown. - Massacre Flynn has no extra dialogue outside of the battles and the main story. Bonds Flynn can be talked to. - Bonds Flynn protects Nanashi from enemies in the overworld. Massacre Flynn does not. - Bonds Flynn gives money and items he collected to Nanashi. Massacre Flynn does not. - Bonds Flynn is able to break free from Krishna's control, uses the Masakado's katana on him, and comes out alive. Massacre Flynn does not and dies (gets revived by Dagda). - Bonds Flynn's memories about Issachar return when you show him the fishing hook. Massacre Flynn is unable to remember him. - Bonds Flynn fights with Jonathan, Walter and Isabeau in his party against YHVH. Massacre Flynn fights with Satan. (the only way to have Isabeau as Nanashi's partner in this fight is to choose her as your Goddess in Massacre) - Bonds Flynn considers Nanashi a friend. Massacre Flynn considers their relationship of a master-servant one.

Now let's bring characterization on a deeper level (i'll be providing answers based on my own interpretations). 1- Why Massacre Flynn only remembers Walter and Jonathan? The evidence is shown to us numerous times through Flynn's visions, flashbacks from Stephen thrown at Nanashi and possible scenarios from the White:

From the cast, the foursome group comprised of Flynn-Walter-Jonathan-Nanashi (including their past lives) have the souls with the most self-determination and have been interconnected through many cycles. In other words, their memories go beyond their current identity and state of being. 2- Is Massacre Flynn based on Nanashi's image of him or Dagda's? Also, why did Flynn's personality change in Massacre but the partner stays the same regardless of the route? Krishna put shackles on Flynn's soul and Nanashi ultimately broke it by killing Flynn inside Vishnu.

Nanashi's Goddess is revived from scratch (hence they were a manifestation from Nanashi's mind) while Flynn's recovery on the other hand was paralleled to a spare tool being patched (you could say it was far more similar to Nanashi's own revival in the start of the game).

Dagda's words in this scene are "might as well have another Godslayer" as if Flynn being usable was out of convenience and not as part of his original plan.

While Nanashi is still able to switch between light and dark dialogue options in Bonds, such duality in Massacre only takes place when you fight your previous allies and you're given the choice to feel merciful; it's not possible to deduce Nanashi's range of feelings towards Massacre Flynn specifically.

On that matter, Dagda does not directly refer to your Goddess even once, in contrast to giving orders to Flynn right as he started breathing again. Observe the sequence of Dagda directing to whom Flynn should go to and Flynn acknowledging Dagda first before doing so with Nanashi:

For Massacre Flynn, Nanashi is considered an extension of Dagda. Which gives us the parallel on the other end of Nanashi being thought of as an extension of Akira in Bonds. This actually opens a possibility that destroys the idea that many people think when watching the route unfold: Dagda did NOT brainwash Flynn.

Flynn's brainwashing comes from the spell Krishna, the well known ailment attacker, put him in. By you killing his former master, by consequence the shackled Flynn replaces Krishna with Dagda/Nanashi instead.

What Dagda did was take the opportunity and run with it.

But now you may ask, why does this matter if the ending result is the same?

It matters because it makes the themes behind Dagda and the Massacre route more cohesive specially with a certain lore element in mind. For the lore element, I'm talking about the Krishna prequel background that is only officially available in Japanese sources. You can read a summary of it through the artbook interview in English here.

A friend also translated the actual novel if you're interested.

To make things short, this background explains in more depth the circumstances behind the first meeting between a past form of Krishna and a past life of Flynn (hundreds of years prior to SMTIV). The soul of Flynn having his former master killed also happened in this past life and because of Krishna himself.

So having that in mind: In Massacre, Dagda nonchalatantly takes Flynn, the unsuccessful tool with his will twisted by Krishna, as his own and looks down on it as if he's scoffing at Krishna's failure compared to his superior Godslayer. This also makes you reflect on Dagda not letting Nanashi choose Krishna but siding with Law or Chaos were still obtainable endings (even if by lesser forms).

Dagda has no respect for forced contracts. He is undoubtedly a sly and the-end-justifies-the-means advocator but he constantly repeats his point that a deity forcing their contractor/vessel will produce a severely weaker result than using words to make them side with you. It's also why Danu's Nozomi would be considered stronger than Inanna's Toki.

Lastly, regarding the partners staying with the same personality as in Bonds:

Once again, whichever partner you ressurect, it's explicitly stated they come from Nanashi's memories. Nanashi went through life or death situations with his partners, in which all of them showed moments of trust and loyalty in their own specific way, to which got manifested in their subsequent Goddess roles.

I dove further about this aspect in this post.

Due to Krishna's interference, Flynn already turned subservient prior to being Dagda's Godslayer (and by extention, Nanashi's) while Nanashi's memories are used as the base behind his partner's resurrection, so the original personality is present on the Goddess.

Hmmm.

So in Persona 1 Vishnu is the ultimate Persona of the Emperor Arcana. He’s also shown on Revelation’s loading screen and is constantly shown as Naoya’s ultimate Persona instead of Amon-Ra.

Monke boy’s favorite Persona is 50% Emo Flynn.

must have been HELL getting the appropriate cards to fuse that

#katchat #while i rewrite the game in my head #i keep thinking abt how fucked up it would be if u could fuse vishnu flynn in 4a's anarchy route #anonymous
