  I will now proceed to metaphorically relate all of the different Nocturne endings to plumbing.<br>Scenario: You have a single leak in a pipe in your basement.<br><br>Demon Ending: You don&apos;t fix the leak. Your basement floods. Nice job, dickbutt.<br><br>Freedom ending: You patch the leak. The patch will break, eventually, but it buys you some time to get a better repair done.<br><br>Reason Endings: You get the pipe replaced… unfortunately, the replacement pipe has an even bigger leak in it.<br><br>True Demon Ending: You look at the leaky pipe, think to yourself &quot;fuck this&quot;, rip out your house&apos;s entire plumbing system, and start building an outhouse.

  Some lad wanders around a desert while his friends go insane.<br>You really feel alone and insignificant most of the game

  &quot;Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne would never take advantage of our innate gullibility.&quot;

  Something that I&apos;ve always found interesting to note with Chiaki is the fact that, in a world not dominated by demons, brains are one and the same with power. The idea of having an intellectual edge in our world is something Chiaki was already adamantly perusing. The idea of gaining an edge through whatever means the world allows is one she&apos;s been following since the start of the game and it&apos;s a great logical through line for her character to bring it to its next step. Showing that, even back then, intelligence wasn&apos;t her goal. Power was.

  Can we mention that not only is Dante one of the cheapest demons to recruit if you know about his coin, is already level 85 when he joins you, he can already use most of the moves he does in his boss fights, the level of his last boss fight has no random encounters because he killed or scared every demon in the area, toys with you in all his cutscenes, has all around good balanced states and he is still one of the better demons even though he never uses devil trigger. He is literally here just to flex on everyone and I love it.

  Honestly i always assumed the lack of relationship between the characters was part of the characters. In the early game the interaction between chiaki and isamu always felt and read like theyre only close because they dont have anyone but you and youre only hanging out with them bc you dont hang out with others. I think it also reflects their Reasoning, Isamu wants to be left alone and Chiaki looks down on others, and you just support.

  From the way the game presents itself, it reminds me of Fallout New Vegas. Seeing characters come with their own reason as to how mankind should operate is very similar to what each faction in New Vegas wants for the world

  The idea of TDE kinda falls apart when you realize that you can’t scrutinize whether anything Lucifer says is true or not.<br><br>While you think of him as a partner, he uses you as a pawn.
