KanzarisKelshen 02/11/19 8:59:49 PM #211:	DMC2 Dante actually IIRC I don't put TONS of stock into that because in the ultimate version of SMT3 Dante is replaced with Raidou Kuzunoha (who in game mechanic terms is stronger than Dante due to getting a skill that lets him hurt the bonus boss)...but on the other hand, Raidou's actions singlehandedly create the Persona timeline so I mean, dude is legit anyway. What really makes the Demifiend respectable though is just what he accomplished. When you kill the final boss, you break time. Not like in a vague way - you killed the avatar of the Abrahamic God which makes it so the cycle of death and rebirth of all things is permanently over and nothing can be born again and the game says as much explicitly. There is no plotkai boosting you to do that either - you simply beat the crap out of said avatar until it dies and takes the world and time with it. Then you fight Lucifer to prove you can kill the Abrahamic God himself by beating him, and do, and then the game ends with you leading the hosts of hell to fight the Almighty God. You know how Zidane and friends beat Necron who is an abstract concept of death in an allegorical battle in FF9? Imagine that if it was completely non-allegorical or abstract or dreamy and simply ended with them killing death, permanently, for good. That's basically what the Demifiend accomplishes. --- Shine on, you crazy diamond. <cite>KanzarisKelshen posted [p:917317702] in Mercenarie...
