Lilith. What's the big deal?




So I may be jumping back and forth again between the JP and NA servers and hopefully reach lvl 92 and acquire the plug-ins for Lilith. But I was recently asked why do I like this particular demon so much?

Apart from being freaky sexy, she was an interesting tragic character in SMT. Since most of us know of Lilith's Biblical origins I'll spare the info, y'all can just look it up yourselves later.

But in the game depending on what alignment choice you took, you get a slightly deeper insight into Lilith's motives. In Law and Neutral you just simply fight and kill her, but in Chaos route after you kill her, she dies in your arms asking for forgiveness and regrets attacking you and joining up with the Chaos Hero and other transgressions she did. All she wanted was to be close to the main protagonist and become your new Eve in the world you will help re-create. May seem such a selfish character flaw, but it added a level of empathy for the character.

Being pretty alone and displaced by God and Adam due to her forceful actions during the Time of Creation which brought about the downfall of Mankind, I really don't blame Lilith for being such a spiteful bitch, but she displays that human quality of acceptance but fails due to the fact that she went about using the wrong methods to be accepted and loved.

Anyways, just as with all mythos you fellow readers may have a different take on it, but this viewpoint is from a Megaten perspective, thus this is no in-depth study of Lilith but merely a reason why I love the character and looking forward to fusing her in the Jakyou Manor. (If I still can considering it was an anniversary event *crosses fingers to see if he still can*)

Been slow lately

Other than the current Fortune Card update and static events on certain days, I've found myself being less motivated to play lately. Especially after hearing that they implemented Lilith and the Beelzebub boss fights on the JP servers. Oh well, I'll just have to wait till Aeria catches up...

1500 views and counting!

Thanks to all my followers, non-followers and anonymous viewers who have been reading my blog currently so far. But as appreciative I am in regards to such endearing devotion (and occasional flaming and trolling of my online personae in game) it'd be nice if some of you my cherished viewers actually leave some comments/criticisms. A blog like this cannot improve/evolve without some sort of feedback. But again I give thanks to you all for following this blog so far.

Interesting development

After sobering up last night I checked my e-mail and got Aeria's Megaten newsletter concerning their future add-on:

FEAR THE FUTURE PVP!!!!



Have fun discussing this folks!

Buzzed and random

Having the long Easter Weekend off is amazing. Have a few pints, some chicken wings and listening to a variety of metal music. With that in mind I was contemplating lately to switch to full Chaos once I'm done training my demons for their melee elemental spins. Then a thought occurred to me: What would be a kick ass anthem for Chaos players to play to while romping about in Megaten?

Two songs came to mind. Maximum the Hormone's Shimi




And White Zombie's Thunderkiss '65





Now if you'll excuse I'll sober up a bit and enjoy some Megaten time.

An inquiry and clarification to a comment I made...

About a Megaten player burning his face in protest. To assuage your fears this happened to a Japanese player 2 years ago in May 2007. He burned his face in protest against Cave when his failed lawsuit claim sent him on this life scarring and drastic action when he spent 100,000 yen which in Canadian currency to date would be around 1,239.21 CAD (yes that's a lot of money) on an limited edition set of clothes that resembles the school uniform from Persona 2 which Cave placed on their regular lottery as a general item without informing the player base that it's so rare even playing it 1000 times the chances of winning it is VERY slim. (note this is an actual life-size replica, not a CP in-game item)

I had to clarify this since it seems it snowballed into a little rumor that this happened on the Aeria version, which thankfully did not happen. So please, PLEASE read my blog a little more carefully next time before starting up such nonsense.

And to cite a credible and easily readable source visit this:

Also don't do anything drastic to yourselves when playing and gambling away your AP in Aeria's in-game AP lottery. Mmmm'kay?

Even Kaneko-sensei likes his mechs.






Before I finally overcome my insomnia, I had a little argument with a player online on Shout chat a while back who kept stating that Kazuma Kaneko can't do anything else other than demon designs.

I beg to differ.

He's also done mech designs as a guest mecha designer for Super Robot Wars Alpha 3's Werkbau/Dis Astranagant and Keiser Ephes and Z.O.E 2nd Runner for Lloyd and his Inhert. And to show that not only do these design look kick ass and freaky cool, here are some vids of epic mecha proportions. Enjoy this as a treat to all Kaneko fans and a big flipping bird to all ya haters of the artist who really deserves his nickname as the "Devil Painter".

KANEKO SENSEI BANZAIIIIIIIII!!!!
