Also, by 'God' do they mean 'God' as in 'part of the holy trinity'?
or
Do they mean 'God' as in 'some generic tyranny godlike being up there'?
They mean YHWH. They really do.
Which... kind of indicates the Old Testament God, who is technically the same guy as New Testament God, but with more genocide and less Hell, so...
Fuck it. Yeah. It's the Holy Trinity God. In an OT mood.
To be honest, Old Testament God makes for a great villain, considering what a giant asshole He is most of the time. Although it makes me wonder if any of the other SMT titles makes the Messians less of a bunch of assholes than the Gaians?

Devil Survivor does as well, kinda. You have Messian analogues that actually display a range of character and the Gaian analogues basically concentrate all the assholishness associated with them into a single character.

I'm really partial to the Messians in Imagine. They actually seem like a decent bunch who want to restore order to a chaotic society, not just kill everyone who disagrees with them.
And I've given SMT2 a test run. It doesn't seem to be very user-feedback friendly. But we'll see.

You do get to name all the important people in the story, just like in SMT1. It's just more spread out.
I've had this thread open in my browser for months and just finished it today. I would have posted this in the SMT thread, but since this one was bumped today I don't feel bad about it. ;-)
Again, very well done and thanks for putting in the effort.
I think that the internet has been for years on the path to creating what is essentially an electronic Necronomicon: A collection of blasphemous unrealities so perverse that to even glimpse at its contents, if but for a moment, is to irrevocably forfeit a portion of your sanity.
