Yahweh is the closest approximation we've got, but it really is unknowable. The record scratching could also be in reference to it being taboo amongst many jews to say God's true name, hence why YHWH or Yahweh is avoided, and why he is often also refered to as simply the Hebrew word for god/gods elohim.

Hell, even the fact that Lucifer and all demons of chaos are just Patsies of YHVH to make him look good is a very logical conclusion to make of a supposedly omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent God. Also, God is in fact portrayed as the architect of Armageddon, even in Revelation. The Horsemen of the Apocalypse were apparently released by God to have authority over the world, and each of the trumpets that sound (Which cause various calamities) are from God"s Angels. No one points this out usually because it makes God look like an ass who delights in suffering. There's a reason why interpreting Revelation literally is something only fundamentalists do.

I don't get why fundamentalists give it so much power and take it literally, but Christians in the west like the idea of an upcoming apocalypse.

I decided to purchase this game recently as a means to call this one of my final downloads onto my 2ds before everything was shut down for good... I just beat this boss today. And it took: multiple salamanders to fuse up to the top tier of heralds before new game+, demon enhancing the crap out of two elementals in sylph and Undine to which both had some kind of necessary skill like magoan and dekaja (had silent prayer instead), fusing down to megami norn to get a demon proficient in support spells, sacrificing two seraphs to get the herald below when fused with one copy of this enhanced undine with the other merging with a divine angel (adv.) to get Demiurge, using gnomes to get reaper mot (I got lucky that one of his skills changed to war cry so I could conserve mp with a debuff to the stats that really mattered here), then honestly just trying to load myself up with basic backup demons like Python who I used to debuff, getting another divine angel, and fusing MORE SALAMANDERS TO GET THE LITERAL KING OF ALL DICKS (You know what I am talking about if you played any megaten game). I put this all here because you would be 100% right and needs to be reiterated. Never have I ever had a boss battle get my heart racing so bad and never did I think I would get so tense over every little thing this alternative version of the creator god did. Obviously it did. It did, and when I got to a second prompt, with my friends cheering me on... oh my god you summed up so much of my pain. If you ever read this despite your comment being posted two years ago, man... we must be some really messed up people if we were willing to persist until we finally beat this blasted thing. Holy crap. I didn't do it on easy but I certainly didn't do this on hard. Buff maister is something else.

It's kind of wild that you're fighting not just "The God" of this series but the actual God of Christianity or at least SMT's perception of Him. I think this game is wildly underrated, considering it's one of the only SMT where you get to fight him. It still makes me sad that you don't fight him in SMT devil survivor 1.

I think that the implication is that in the SMT Universe, "gods" are manifestations of humanity's will and needs, but based on our flawed interpretation of them, so "YHWH" is not meant to be taken as the real deal, just a twisted version created by people's need for guidance, order and salvation in a world that's cruel and chaotic. My main problem is that previous games in the series made it pretty clear that every "moral" path you could take had a pretty big drawback: chaos leads to a world of survival of the fittest where the strong rule and the weak suffer and die, while law leads to stagnation because a world without struggle and challenges formed by blind obedience is inherently static. Even the middle path of neutrality is treated as impossible to maintain in the long run because humanity will inevitably cause it's own collapse. In other words, it's a cycle, with no perfect solutions, just compromises and a ticking clock. In a way, it used to be "fair" to the ideologies it was criticizing. But not this game, this one has an explicit "good" ending that involves ALL sides to help you destroy the law of the universe, because humanity needs no "gods". This goes so hard against the philosophy of the series I don't understand how the "fandom" thinks this is the "best" game in it. SMT is a tragedy about the human condition and our quest for purpose and answers leading to the same dark places all the time, but now with a happy ending.

If you look at the actual history of Yahweh (not SMT, mind you, but if you research Yahweh before what the Bible says), you'll know that he started off as a minor metallurgy deity until he or his followers carried out purges of both his rivals, as well as his compatriots of his own pantheon, such as Baal and Asherah. I mean, there was an archbishop who estimated that the world is only 6000 years old. Following the Chinese emperor logic where "year 1" is the year the founding emperor takes his throne, it actually makes sense that _Yahweh's world_ is only 6000 years old.
