I ACTUALLY THOUGHT NANASHI WAS A FEMALE PROTAGONIST WHEN I FIRST SAW HIM AND WAS SO UNEBELUEVEABLY EXCITED FOR A FEMALE MAINLINE PROTAGONIST AND THEN I SAW THE TRAILER AND WAS DISAPPOINTED
SMT PROTAGONIST EVOLUTION
SMTIV: Mostly masculine, but has ponytail
SMTIVA: Commonly mistaken for small lesbian
SMTV: It's hard to find the words to capture this. Uh, just check Pixiv. Don't do it in public.

I tried using these SMTV models for the first time! These a very nice and I am happy with these renders- I used a black border too so it looks super fancy~ I like how these look!

(Forgot to post here oof, anyhow still playing though SMT5 and so far my best teammates are these two haha they were also my go to buddies In Nocturne as well! Also just got Alice so definitely working on some fanart for her gahh she's so good haha ^^)
So... lately I sorta, kinda gained some interest in the Shin Megami Tensei series after watching a livestream playthrough of SMT 3 Nocturne. It was fun being there to watch and interact when I could. The playthrough featured the ability to recruit Dante from the Devil May Cry series, so it kinda got me thinking of other crossovers.
First up is the idea of Darksiders crossover: Darksiders' Four Horsemen could arguably fit pretty well, considering SMT has its own version of the Four. Also, it would be pretty cool if we could see how Death, War, Fury, and Strife could work in an RPG setting.
Next up, Hades: Zagreus and company would be so interesting to see crossover. Maybe Zag could be someone like Demi-Fiend, where he's got both human and non-human parts to him and thus is a strange mix.
Curse of the Dead Gods: Imagine someone like the Demi-Fiend or Nahobino just encountering Caradog McCallister. The old guy already has his hands full in the temple, so imagine him making out and finding out the world went to shit or something and just deciding to wander because of that. He could probably be a real interesting optional boss fight.
Overall, I think I had fun with some of these ideas. You think the crossovers could work or nah? Got any other ideas for crossovers?
Marvel/SMT Crossover Idea
Why this crossover? ...Why not?
It's overall a pretty basic idea at the moment. I would do my best to combine what I can of the Marvel Universe and the SMT Universe, highly likely leaning into the mythological sides of both, maybe trying to figure out how to fit things like mutants in as I go along?
Going with what I have learned through some research of my own and a bit of the SMT playthroughs I have been catching live on Twitch, I would have likely go for a sort of combination of both Marvel Thor and SMT Thor, having it be that Marvel Thor's human identity Eric Masterson is acting as the Knowledge of SMT Thor, creating a Nahobino.
I have yet to play an SMT game so I'm not as well versed as I would like to be, however I am thinking of picking up SMTV at some point. You can only learn so much on a game without playing it, you know?
Wish I could say more, but sometimes I got basic ideas and can only write some of it out.
You know... sometimes even I think I come up with some strange crossover ideas. Sometimes they're pretty basic, sometimes they're a bit fleshed out. One crossover that I came up with recently is a Shin Megami Tensei/The World Ends With You crossover. It all started because I have been playing SMT V: Vengeance recently and for no reason TWEWY has been in the back of my mind. So, a crossover idea formed, not helped by some kinda similar enough looking characters.
Some may or may not see it, but Hishima Sakazuki and Yuzuru Atsuta just look kinda similar to me. It's probably the hair and glasses. I also think Shiba Miyakaze looks kinda similar enough to Lucifer's human forms in SMT 3 Nocturne. Like, he almost looks like a middle ground between his old man and child forms in Nocturne.
Does anybody else kinda see it? Am I crazy?
Anyways! Considering Angels do exist in TWEWY, just in a different way compared to in SMT, living in a higher plane of existence, a plane higher than both the UG and the RG, imagine someone like Hanekoma being an old acquaintance of Lucifer's. Or, for a more fun idea, imagine Minamimoto just hopping universes and deciding to investigate the SMT universe for the hell of it. Maybe he thinks it could help in targeting the Composer. Imagine the Demi-Fiend or Nahobino encountering Pi-Face and just the chaos that could ensue.
Going back for a second to Shiba and Lucifer, I had the crazy idea earlier of imagine Shiba being a piece of Lucifer that the Lord of Chaos had separate, for whatever reason. Or maybe in a fan crossover, it could be some variation on that idea. Maybe that piece of Lucifer did not separate willingly?
Or, maybe better idea, Minamimoto meeting Lucifer and the Lord of Chaos taking a bit of an odd liking to this chaotic math-man. Maybe he sees Sho's pursuit to usurp the Composer as similar enough to pursuit to usurp the God of Law.
Overall, it's a fun crossover to play with, with how Gods and Monsters work in SMT, and with the Higher Planes in TWEWY.
EDIT: I don't know if it was like that for everybody, but on my end, after posting, the image for Yuzuru wasn't showing up, so hopefully I fixed it
So... I just had this fun idea for the crossover. An alternate universe Rindo, having maybe sort of tapped into the power of Dissonance, accidentally ending up in the SMT world. This alternate Rindo may have accidentally changed his vibration. Considering the Rindo we play as can mental time travel, imagine a sort of "bad end" Rindo just doing something crazier. He could maybe be an optional boss fight that maybe you could recruit later, and only recruit, y'know, considering Rindo is human. Or maybe demon fusion doesn't work for Noise? Oooo! Or a Rindo with the power of Phoenix Cantus as a potential boss fight/recruitable ally.
Or, fun silly idea, imagine a shared universe kins of deal, and Jack Frost getting jealous of Mr. Mew. Or maybe being a fan of Mr. Mew.
Going with alternate shared universe, imagine the gods and monsters of SMT looking like the Noise, or being Reapers. Imagine Matador as a Reaper, the form we know him for being the form he takes when he powers up. Think something like Minamimoto turning into Leo Cantus. Imagine the Reaper's Game that the SMT characters are participating in has them teaming up with a Reaper. Now, some may ask why that idea... well, I think it's all but outright stated in Neo: TWEWY that different areas, like say Shibuya and Shinjuku, have different rules to their Reaper's Game. Shibuya's is built more like how it works in the first TWEWY, Shinjuku's is built more like how it works in Neo. So, imagine protagonist of SMTV and Aogami being a Player/Reaper duo in a different Reaper's Game.
Different idea: imagine Minamimoto being a crossover boss in an SMT game. One battle could be him in base form, another battle as Leo Cantus, and maybe another where it's basically a two-phase boss fight. First phase in base form, second phase as Leo Cantus.

So... with Marvel, particularly X-23, on the mind a bit lately and wanting to get back into my SMT V: Vengeance playthrough, I kinda got to thinking of what would her role be in an SMT/Marvel Crossover AU. Taking some inspiration from the time she was Captain Universe, maybe she could be a Nahobino? Or maybe she could be someone like Tao or Yoko? Or maybe the Tao-like or Yoko-like role could go to a different character?
I do know if I write something for an SMT/Marvel Crossover AU, I would like to do something with Thor, both versions, where it's something like Eric Masterson is SMT Thor's Knowledge. Or maybe have it be Kevin Masterson, Eric Masterson's son? I also just had the idea while typing this of maybe writing something with Andi Benton, maybe making the Mania Symbiote like Aogami while Andi is the human who bonded. Maybe I will go with that instead, maybe so that I can try writing something with Andi meeting Nico Minoru and Laura and them going on a journey similar to what the Nahobino and company do in SMTV. Or maybe I could go with a combination of these ideas? Have Andi and Laura in roles similar to Tao and Yoko while whoever I make Thor's Knowledge is the protagonist?
Another idea is having Franklin Richards as the protagonist, with Rachel Summers as the one with a kinda similar role to Tao or Yoko. This idea popped in my head when mulling over the many possibilities for an SMT/Marvel Crossover. Franklin has cosmic power in the comics, the ability to create a miniature universe, while Rachel is one of the hosts of the Phoenix Force. Obviously, for this crossover idea, I will depower Franklin a bit, and I will probably try thinking of a mythological being for him to be the Knowledge of.
