I think SJ did a good job of showing why the LAW HERO sides with Law.

Bad experience + subtle and not so subtle brainwashing is hardly the most original take.

I mean, SMT1 was "his dead body is just possessed by the holy spirit" and SMT4 was "for seemingly no reason at all and in direct contradiction with the character's established personality", so "decided to join the Angels because by that point the Angels had proved themselves trustworthy by saving her multiple times" is a step up for the franchise.

It makes perfect sense about what happened in SMT4. After getting back from the expanse the chaos and law heroes are fed bullshit that the leader of the other faction has been created and that the only chance they have to prevent them from winning is to let themselves be consumed as well.

I dunno personally SJ hits way too many of the classic Sci Fi tropes for me to not love it, whereas as much as I love SMTIV, it can feel a little rote.

In the most loving way possible: Strange Journey is aesthetically like a Sci Fi B-movie from the 50's. The story is fantastic, but it's the aesthetic that I truly love about SJ.

The law ending was pretty much the only good ending in 4 IMO.

The wrong one though. I think the most disappointing part about 4 is that the non neutral endings just seem to be "wrong". They're significantly shorter and leave all these threads dangling

Isn't most of this just half of all SMT non-neutral endings anyway

Nah, Nocturne at least took you all the way to the last boss, you just killed the 2 or 3 bosses not affiliated with your reason.
