he's still nothing compared to Stephen standing up.

As much as Law and Chaos are at their worst in this game, Merkabah and Lucifer do have points that humanity are too flawed to unite and understand each other but with Flynn choosing to keep believing in humanity, perhaps it is possible.

My favorite part in this whole route is how the final line in the route is "Thanks." 😂

if i have one big issue with this game its that neutral is the route with the most content, yet gameplay wise none of it is unique. its just the 2 final bosses or the other routes. i feel like it would be better if you fought walter and jonathan im their human forms, and then fought a different unique final boss.

@cynicalducky1041

Жыл бұрын

I agree with this so much. Maybe instead of 2 phases, go nuts and have 3 fucking boss phases. (At least then, these two boss fights would actually be difficult.) As you stated, the first phase is fighting Jonathan and Walter in their human forms and a cutscene happens showing Lucifer/the 4 archangels telling an injured Walter/Jonathan to fuse with them. Then you fight Merkabah/Lucifer for reals. It would make the fight just as heartbreaking as Isabeau's boss fight in Law/Chaos because then it wouldn't feel like you're killing a demon/angel, but your friends that has been with you through your entire journey of SMT IV.

I would agree, but honestly it’s far more effective to be given a glimpse of what they once were, then horrified to see what they have become. You’re already desensitized enough during an actual Law/Chaos route after killing Isabeau, so I assume why it’s not done in the normal routes. At the same time though given how much DLC this game got maybe it’s not a stretch that a unique final boss could have been made. I personally like to think of Masakado as Neutral’s final boss, even if the game doesn’t.

Based on the amount of detail this ending has compared to the others, I think it is safe to say that this is the canon one of this SMT game (and Apocalypse, while most likely a spin-off in some kind of alternate universe, somewhat supports it). It feels more than welcome after the way too edgy canon ending of SMT III Nocturne.

@@EA-bv8zk With "freedom" you mean the "neutral" (that where you restore the world to its previous state and become human again instead of turning into the master of a new universe) o the regular demon ending? I think the neutral was actually supposed to be the main ending in the vanilla release of the game given how detailed and poignant that ending cutscene is compared to the Reason and demon endings, but they finally decided to go for the TDE in the following SMT III editions. It seems to be the one which is referenced in other SMT titles where the Demi-fiend appears, such as Digital Devil Saga.

You basically have to balance lawful and chaotic choices you make throughout the game up to a point. There's a few actions in particular (the last question in the moral question tunnels, the party split, the question the White ask you regarding your future plans) that have massive impacts on this. Tenkai's alignment questions give you a chance to check your progress. You know you're locked to Neutral if Stephen greets you in the White realm. ...but I also agree, a guide helps immensely here.
