Something I like *may contain spoilers*

So.... tonight I was feeling a bit crummy, so to get myself out of that feeling (while walking to Coffee House, it was AWESOME) I decided to think about things in life I enjoy; which is a lot more pleasant than my usual walking-inner dialogue.
And, these thoughts of what make me enjoy my life lead me to this one video game. I know it sounds a bit sketchy and pathetic; a video game is one of her favourite things in life?! But the game was written better than most movies and is part of a long-standing little-known series called Shin Megami Tensei. This game more specifically is called Digital Devil Saga.

The website I am a part of (D3, if you look at my links) is about Shin Megami Tensei, and one of my first writing assignments was to write up character sketches(both spoiler, and general) for Digital Devil Saga 2. Which is why I appreciate the game so much.

I figured I would use this blog as an outlet to discuss why it is so great, and since the game is in two parts, I'mma seperate this blog into two parts and then all will rejoice.
The game starts in the "Junkyard", you are just to accept everything around you. There has also been this great light shawn out of the center of the Junkyard that has mutated you and given you the ability to transform into demons, sometimes uncontrollably)And there are many tribes(they arn't tribal, they're just called tribes) in this junkyard and you've just been told that the tribes are to wage war against eachother and whoever is victorious shall ascend to Nirvana. You must also climb a tower and bring with you a girl named Sera.

Your tribe,Embryon,(there are actually a lot more people mentioned but this is your party) consists of:
Serph (leader,protagonist of the game, and all aroudn good guy);
Heat (a bit of a loner, and is quick to anger);
Argilla (Female member of tribe);
Gale (Team's Strategist, absolutely no personality, thought proccess is comparable to a computer)

Now The first section of the game there isn't much to talk about, just you battle the tribes, some you learn from and consider 'comrades'; which becomes somewhat of a key term as our protagonists deal with their new situation. The lack of much to talk about is because the first game really just sets you up for the second game. But here are some point plots:
You defeat various tribes;

You become side-tracked and enter this old amusement-type-fairy-tale-interactive land that tell you the story of a fair princess (who looks a lot like the character Sera, who is with your party for most of the game) who had two princess who both loved her, a light prince and a dark prince who both loved her very much but in the end there was a great tragedy. The story becomes distorted towards the end to not reveal the ending of the game;
Gale slowly becomes less computer like and more emotive;
The game ends by reaching the top of the tower and fighting the final boss and the world falls apart, leaving you thinking 'wtf?';
You go out and buy the sequel. Hahaha, Im soooooooooooooooooo funny. O_o

I know this blog is a bit lacking of how awesome this game is, more so just plot points.... but the awesomeness of the game comes in next post promise.

PS: As a teaser, I've played the game through more than once and watched many cinematics (man I gots to watch that again) via you-tube. And, seriously, I still am finding out new hidden messages, images and more about the story. I also dedicated a lot of my summer with a friend(owner and admin of D3) to uncovering secret stuff. I swear it's the fight club of video games! That or....momento (if any of you remember that movie)
