    @@uprising4c19 The switch version is far better anyways. It has all the content from the 3DS version with a few extras and the best Mii Maker in history with literally infinite possibilities. Plus the Switch is far easier to record than the 3DS since the switch uses USB-C and is therefore easily compatible with a capture card while for the 3DS you have to physically mod the console to add a USB slot in order to connect the capture card. The only downside is no spotpass for finding miis easily but that can be solved by going online and using codes for users with hundreds of the best miis. I think there's an entire subreddit for finding miis in Miitopia switch. Plus better graphics.

    I liked Ansem and Xemnas in KH3. The fact that they were working for Xehanort, who showed no signs of them in his behavior, must've been quite the crisis of mortality. Both dealt with it in their own ways; Ansem sought out Subject X to repent, while Xemnas doubled down on the nastiness. It's why I think even with DDD Xemnas is compelling. From the start, he was created to die, restore Xehanort, and become just another vessel on the shelf. Like Roxas, Xemnas would never have recompleted like the other Nobodies; he'd just be meaninglessly subsumed into Xehanort's return. In 358's secret journals, he mentioned using Kingdom Hearts to become more than human. How I interpret that? More than one specific human; Xehanort.

    That probably has to do with Xemnas having part of Terra's soul/mind within him. He's not just Xehanort's nobody, he's also Terra's because Terra's heart was still in his body when Xehanort possessed him. Only his mind/will/emotions became the Lingering Will, which ironically doomed him because of he still had his mind within his body to reason Aqua would have been able to exercise Xehanort's spirit and free the guardian/Terra's heart during the true final boss in BBS.

    Surprised not to see Lucifer of the Shin Megami Tensei series mentioned, being one of the eternal pillars of that long-running series just as much as YHVH. He's always there to try and draw you onto the path of Chaos with reasoned arguments, his most notable entry probably being the one secretly running most of the show in Nocturne, even being the secret final boss. However the series has others who have taken on similar roles to the Morning Star with gusto- Dagda from SMT 4A or Naoya from Devil Survivor.

Unfortunately, too many modern Christians lack the same wisdom that Lewis shows in the Screwtape Letters.

    I’m going to again put forth a proposition from Library of Ruina and suggest Pluto as a contender for this list. While he’s not technically a “devil”, he looks the part and has powers focused around magic contracts that offer dubious benefits with hidden costs. Pluto starts his fight by throwing out a set of five Contracts, one for each member of your party. You pick who gets which one, and if you desire it one person can take multiple contracts in order to free up other people. Each Contract gives a huge buff to whoever has it, but imposes equally crippling penalties if you violate the accompanying terms. There are two ways to deal with these: either build your team in line with his Contracts to dodge the penalties, or just drop them all on a few people who you expect to die. This works because of how the rest of the fight is designed. For the first Phase, Pluto summons copies of your team to fight you, forcing you to either prove you know how to use your characters, exploit the Contracts for an advantage, or hope you get lucky. Once all the copies are dead, you can finally start whittling away at Pluto’s shields. All the while, he’ll go through a cycle of locking one of your teammates in a force field, summoning a copy of them, and then swapping the health of the original and the copy. You can only free your trapped party members by hitting them until the field goes away, so the health swap can be a blessing in disguise. All the while, Pluto’s reserves of magic will gradually fall as long as you can Counter his attacks. Eventually, Pluto’s shields go down and you can take him out.

    For me Ivo Shandor from Ghostbusters: The Video Game fits the Satanic archetype and his boss fight is quite fun. He is not only a behind the scenes villain in the game, but one that one that is staring you in the face for most of the game. Shandor's motivations are also interesting as while he initially wants to help Gozer destroy the world like the movie mentioned, after Gozer gets defeated a second time, he decides to become a diety of destruction himself. And he succeeds the team needs to cross the streams to stop him for good (thankfully this is in the Ghost World where the laws of physics are joke you tell friends at parties so nobody dies but Shandor himself).

    I think Charlie Daniels was more mad about “Guitar Hero 3” being a game entrenched in rock culture, and he partly wrote “Devil Went Down” as a protest song against rock elements being implemented into country. I love the way the song was implemented into the game, too, but he does have a point.

    Asmodeus from Pony Island is very underrated. It's such a simple concept, you just gotta constantly keep your eyes on him and he will ask you questions to determine if you're still looking at him. Its simplicity is It's strength, as it makes a fun mind game trying not to get distracted as he does things like hide messages on his face, fake game crashes, or fake notification sounds. Plus mythology wise, it fits the theme. Asmodeus is commonly proposed as the "Lord of Lust" out of the seven deadly sins. The Prince of Lust wants you to keep your eyes on him. It's just a fun, well executed mind game that's thematically appropriate for mythology.

Catherine's close FWIH, but not exactly Lucifer or any of the other myriad Devils found in the series. Though YHVH is probably a shoe-in for Gods, only question being which fight? SMTII might be too old, SMTIV Apocalypse is awesome though I could see his dungeon docking points. Looking forward to it!

    The lack of Lucifer from SMT is pretty surprising. But then again, he's not a figure of evil in those games, so I guess that's why. More of an anarchist seeking freedom from the totalitarian rule of YHWH's control, and any other systems that get to dictate the rules of a universe. SMT 3/5 he's at his most interesting, tempting the player into destroying the Conception system because the very system itself is an issue that forces one's will upon everyone else unfairly, and it's technically just YHWH's way of keeping himself on the throne because this way the universe will reset itself without triggering the Mandala system. The said Mandala system is then the reason Lucifer stops caring about everything and simply seeks freedom from all systems, granting the player both his and YHWH's essence so what ever he decides to create will be freed from the Mandala system. He doesn't even care if the player chooses to bring YHWH back, because he's that done with everything. Maybe he saw YHWH as a victim of the Mandala system as well. In SMT 3 his boss fight is one of the best in the whole game, and it can be brutally hard if you're at a lower level or you're playing the Chronicle version on Hard. SMT 5's boss fight is pretty cool too on the True Neutral route.

    Lucifer is still evil in SMT. Yaldabaoth may be just as bad most of the time, (primarily in the main universe, MT universe, and the SMT4 universe) but Lucifer is still an extremist and anarchism is a messed up idealolgy. His plan to destroy the universe in SMT3 is still a bad idea. Did you forgot that the conception wasn't even supposed to trigger in Nocturne? It was activated thousands of years too early by an insane cultist. What God ACTUALLY wants in that world is for the world to be restored so it can follow it's natural course, which you do in the freedom ending. The conception wasn't solely created so that God can remain in control, those are just the lies Lucifer tries to trick you with. It doesn't even make sense, since the conception is only supposed to happen when the world was already on the brink of collapse and humanity mostly done for and mainly serve as a reset to preserve humanity. The whole "reason" thing was a gift to give humanity the ability to shape the new world as they please, it's intent wasn't malevolent. God in SMT3 and SMT5 is actually pretty benevolent all things considered. Also in DeSu1. In most SMT games other than those three it's basically ""God" is actually a false god and the devil is just as bad. Go kick both of their asses." Neutral is almost always the best ending all of the time in those games, while in SMT5 it's Law and in DeSu it's also Law tied with Neutral. That's because law is naturally the best alignment when God is actually decent and no one can argue unless they're a god hating anti-theist. In SMT3 it's freedom/light neutral because all the reasons suck and you can't form your own because Lucifer screwed you over to groom you into becoming the arch fiend.

    That's the funny thing about Lucifer, how can you be sure that he isn't evil? He is known as the Lord of Lies after all. He could be your friend, or he could just be stringing you along. And in Nocturne, no matter what ending you go for, Lucifer gets what he wanted. Either data on the use of the Magatama's, a middle finger to God, or if you follow the labyrinth, a new general. No matter which path you take, he wins. Though I will say, they kinda gutted his character in V.

    I mean, Dul'Mephistos, is by all accounts the DeFacto ruler of the Burning Hells. Sure, he may be co-ruling with his brothers. But when the High Heavens and the Burning Hells went about signing a treaty when it comes to Sancturary. It was the Angiris Council (representing the High Heavens) and Lord Mephisto (representing the Burning Hells) who made it. It tells you a lot about how much authority the Lord of Hatred possesses when it comes to the matters of the Burning Hells.

    Two come to mind that didn't make the list. The final boss of Star Ocean 3:Til the End of Time The setup, your universe is a game, created by higher dimensional beings(4-Ds), and this guy is literally your maker. His name? Luthor(Actually Lucifer, but they changed it). His mission? You have grown beyond the limits he put onto you, so now, he will end your universe. When it resists his angels(The executioners)? He'll draw you to him. When you prove resistant to his own power? He'll simply erase this simple ocean of stars and fill another with life. The final boss of Wild Arms 3 Her name, Beatrice, her function? An alternate existence, a living universe that has been trying to enter yours and replace it since the first humans came to Filgaia from world in another universe and attracted her attention by punching a whole in reality. Why is she worthy of the Devil Title? She starts her own false religion, slays the human made demons in her way and sucks out their souls, creates several monsters in religious themes, and has 10 heads(Forms) that must be fought to slay her. Best part, both of these characters WIN in the end. The universes you are fighting to protect are destroyed, and it's only via magitech power that your leads are able to bring them back into existence using the empty possibilities their destruction left behind.

    From the first Overlord game : the overlord !! Spoilers ahead no seriously, spoiler ! "Hoh, you though I meant YOU ? NO ! I mean the REAL overlord !" If you just play the game, the character is paper thin, he literally shows up at the end from nowhere only to be defeated by you in an epic bossfight... However ! As he taunts thorough the fight, he's actually had a hand in the downfall of ALL the former heroes you defeated up until now, turned those who defeated him to selfishness and evil deeds with words alone ! Cursed the land they ruled and protected into their worst version possible and was very much primed to rule over it all over again, recovering from his initial defeat... On a second or even third playthrough, you can spot him during various cutscenes, leaving the scene as you enter it. He's never in focus, never pointed or aluded to, yet his influence reign supreme over the story ! and he's smart enough that you don't notice until he starts twisting the blade... Not much of a demon-like entity, but devilish to an art ;7
