Digital Devil Saga was one of the most unique games in the entire Megami Tensei franchise. In case you need a reminder, Digital Devil Saga was initially released back in July of 2004 and was meant to broaden the appeal of the franchise. The game would take on a more traditional JRPG approach but still had the gameplay mechanics and thematic elements that fans would come to expect while also offering brand new ideas to help distinguish it from other entries. Even though the execution wasn’t perfect, to this day, Digital Devil Saga remains a fan favourite. I also spoke highly of the game myself in the video I made “somewhat” recently. However, something that I’ve noticed is that there isn’t much discussion surrounding this game’s direct sequel. This has always struck me as odd since the first game is still highly regarded to this day and you’d think that this enthusiasm would bleed over to DDS2. That’s not to say that the game isn’t acknowledged by the community, but if we were to just compare the popularity of these two titles, then it isn’t even a competition. So for today’s video, we’re going to be shining a spotlight on this game. Not just to give it more exposure, but so that we can also determine whether or not it lives up to the expectations set by its predecessor.
