Poor timing, ho...

※ Man... First his mom, his neighbor, and then his dog... Surely nothing bad will ever happen to the SMT 1 protagonist again... Uh... Right?

In megaten games, or maybe Shin Megami Tensei games particularly, characters use incense to increse their stats.

Obviously incense is supposted to be smelled, but is it the type of incense where they set it on fire and as they breathe the smoke their senses improve. Or is it the non fire type, and they just stand there and sniff it until their senses improve. Maybe both, and diffrent stats have diffrent kinds of incense?

Or maybe, instead they do some secret third thing. Eat it? That would be pretty funny to have like law hero smelling it, and chaos hero just eats it. Or funnier still if it was reversed, and when its explained he goes "oh I've never seen the non burning type. I thought it was a snack." Then later in the game, after his transformation, chaos hero eats the burning kind of incense while stareing him down.

What do you guys think?

Put any other thoughts you have for how incense might be used for stat increse in the games in the notes or reblogs, and if there is enough variety, I will create a new poll

「...If I say, “I will not mention him, or speak any more in his name,” there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot.」

Something that I really like about Law Hero’s and Chaos Hero’s deaths in SMT1′s neutral route are how they throwback to the game’s intro dream sequence.

When we’re first introduced to the Law Hero, he is called the “soul who was sacrificed to God”. Following his later boss battle and defeat, Law Hero struggles with his second death to mean that he was not actually God’s chosen Messiah. But he copes with this realization by concluding that he is being made as an offering to God and thus his death is not in vain.

I would even say that this is a hopeful outlook. Law Hero may not have been the one to usher in God’s Thousand Year Kingdom, but there is hope that another one can and Law Hero’s death will only encourage another to step up in his place. Or at least how I read into it.

Whereas with Chaos Hero, when we first meet him in that dream sequence, he chastises the protagonist for waking him from a good dream. In his later final words, he laments over his failure to surpass all and asks if this is a nightmare, but reaffirms that everything up to that point has been a good dream.

Although Chaos Hero could not grow strong enough to surpass all his adversaries, he had nonetheless been able to live the free, victorious life that he had long coveted and can now die contentedly. In a way, Chaos Hero still wins in the end by achieving what he always wanted.

They’re both small details but nonetheless ones that gives some good depth into these characters and their goals.
