Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army: Difference between revisions

[[File:Devil_Summoner_Raidou.jpg|frame]]

 

The Devil Summoner series is notable for being a good bit more light-hearted than most other [[Shin Megami Tensei]] games, with numerous funny dialogues and comical scenes. ''Raidou'' retains the use of [[Random Encounters]], but sets itself apart from the other games in the Megaten series by featuring a real-time battle system. Raidou can hold his own with a katana, but can also summon one demonic ally to help him. In another deviation from the Megaten norm, you no longer talk to demons to convince them to join your party, but rather you capture them by hitting their weak point and then forcing them into a tube. The same demon fusion system that has been featured since ''[[Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne|Nocturne]]'' remains here. When not battling, you attempt to solve the mysteries brought to the attention of the Narumi Detective Agency; in an interesting twist, you can use your demons to invoke specific emotions within the people you question. For example, invoking "Anger" may cause someone to rashly blurt out a clue that they had been withholding.

* [[For Science!]]: Victor is listed in the manual for "having a jones for learning the secret of life". Apparently this involves Devil Summoners and their familiars, and he helps Raidou out for this reason.

** In Soul Hackers, Victor must've found the secret of life, since he's now immortal.

* [[The Heartless|Heartless, The]]: {{spoiler|The Hiruko.}}

* [[Hello, Insert Name Here]]: The MC is given a real name by the player, although most characters will refer to him by his hereditary title/name Raidou.

* [[Our Zombies Are Different]]: They're genetically augmented [[Super Soldier|Super Soldiers]].

* [[Puppeteer Parasite]]: The Hiruko, once they've reached Red Cape stage. {{spoiler|Sukuna-Hikona, too}}.

* [[Retcon]]: In-continuity, no less. The aforementioned [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy|Beethoven]] was {{spoiler|sent into the past to end the Taisho era at the "proper time", to keep history intact. He pretty much decided to blow off the job though and do his own thing}}, which may have led to the [[Shin Megami Tensei]] and [[Persona]] continuities.

* [[School Uniforms Are the New Black]]: Raidou always wears his school uniform, even when going out and fighting demons. What's that? In the [[Yakuza]]-run bath house, he's naked and thus does ''not'' wear the uniform? Heh, nope. [[Nice Hat|He keeps the hat.]] So he's always wearing at least a ''piece'' of the uniform.
