So I was just scrolling through some old gaming forums, and a question popped up that got me thinking: How many demons are there in the whole Megami Tensei series? I mean, I’ve played a bunch of these games, but I never really stopped to count. This was gonna bug me all day if I didn’t get to the bottom of it.
First, I fired up my trusty old computer. Time to do some serious digging. I started with the basics, you know, the original Megami Tensei games. I rummaged through some fan wikis and old game manuals. These things are ancient! It was like stepping back in time, seeing all those pixelated demons again.
Then I moved on to the Shin Megami Tensei games. This is where things started getting crazy. So many different demons, and they kept changing between games. Some would get redesigned, others would disappear, and new ones would show up out of nowhere. I was jotting down names, trying to keep track, but my list was growing faster than I could handle.
Counting the demons
- Started with the original Megami Tensei games.
- Checked out fan wikis and old game manuals.
- Moved on to the Shin Megami Tensei series.
- Noticed demons changing between games.
- Jotted down demon names in a list.
After that, I dove into the spinoffs. Persona, Devil Summoner, Digital Devil Saga… you name it. Each series had its own unique set of demons, but there was also a lot of overlap. Demons would pop up in multiple games, sometimes with different names or slightly different designs. It was a real headache to keep everything straight.
I spent hours on this, cross-referencing different sources, making sure I didn’t count the same demon twice. My list was a mess, full of scribbles and notes. I even started color-coding things to make it easier to understand. It was turning into a real obsession!
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I had a number. It wasn’t perfect, mind you. There were probably a few demons I missed, and some that might have been counted twice. But it was close enough. And you know what? The number was way bigger than I expected!
So, how many demons are there in the Megami Tensei series? Well, from what I could gather, it’s somewhere in the ballpark of over a thousand. Yeah, you heard that right. Over a thousand unique demons across all the games. It’s insane when you think about it.
This whole thing was a wild ride. It started as a simple question and turned into a full-blown research project. But you know what? I had a blast doing it. It reminded me of all the great times I had playing these games. And hey, now I have a cool number to throw around whenever the topic comes up. Who knew counting demons could be so much fun?
