Now listen to me children and I'll tell you of the legend of the Ninja
I remember rolling with Melchizedek in the Persona 3 end game. I think this is how the design meeting went:

Okay, next! Melchizedek? Name checks out, do we have a picture?



Who the hell is this bong-hugging beard gaijin? gently caress that, I'm thinking more mecha ranger, slap on jet boots and some poo poo.



That's great, next!

i wish uke mochi would get in a smt game. uke mochi was a goddess who expelled food from bodily orifices and it was so gross that tsukuyomi killed her on seeing it happen

that's one of the only things i remember well from mythology studies

Tzaphkiel: Tzaphkiel also known as Zaphkiel, Tzaphquiel or Tzaphqiel, is an Archangel of Judaic lore. Tzaphkiel name means "The Beholder of God". He is associated with the name of YHWH called Elohim, the Sephirah Binah, and the planet Saturn.

"Beholder, eh?"



there's some real intent following of judaic archangels now and GIS made me aware of that and now I'm weirded out

there's some old testament stuff to be mined like the seraphim



Melchizedek is also always an old guy w/ a white beard and pipe and I guess there are worse things to be in mythology but it didn't give them much to work with

Sector E is an extremely awesome dungeon. All of the dungeons from E on are pretty incredible actually.

the arm chiaki loses is the one wearing the rose ring that has the same color scheme/ texture as her tree arm
baal avatar's wing is opposite to the one chiaki loses; suggesting that chiaki is stuffed inside it and is now second banana to the strongest being she knows (baal) (this fits the pattern of all the human characters "riding" their patron god)

i think he might have gotten bored

his SMT designs started getting kind of repetitive, but Persona stuff went down anther path until most of the personas started getting recycled there, too

digital devil saga required a new style, so it was fresh and had cool stuff again

i don't know if Raidou reset him or not, I didn't play it

I agree that it feels like his designs get a bit less inspired and samey as he keeps working on the same franchise for too long, he needs fresh air to thrive and delight us with awesome artwork.

I feel shameful for saying that but i want to see a final fantasy game with his art

No weaknesses, comes in packs of four, spams second-tier multi-hit spells really early in the game, tends to ambush you, has no problem exploiting all three of your party members' weaknesses so that they get a billion turns
