His name is pretty funny too. "I am Beelzebub, ruler of death and warden of souls". :lol: Bumblebee would be more threatening. It looks like the challenge is really in the prerequisites to fight him? Otherwise, looks like any other turn-based fighter to me.

Believe, I know how the game looks like a standard turn-based JRPG thing. And while Nocturne is based on traditional gameplay of that genre, it deviates in a lot of ways. The Press Turn System and the Fusion system are a couple of big highlights.

Garnering the prerequisites to fighting Beelzebub is only a small part of the challenge (at that point in the game you probably have the characters to fight him). The cursed hallway that deals a ton of damage to you every step before you get to him (and has random encounters with tough enemies) is a test on your resource handling; and the actual fight is a pain because even with protection from his insta-death move he still deals a crap-ton of damage and you have play smart to actually beat him.

He's easy compared to the other two bosses (especially the Demi-Fiend in DDS), but the beauty of SMT games is they aren't all about gearing up before the fight. The actual battles are a challenge.

Man I wish I had the SMT Beelzebub action figure. That's how a Beelzebub from Christian myth should be, not like that loser from SOTN.

And I wish Atlus would make a new SMT game
Demons/Gods from various mythologies > Pokemon

Yet nothing beats good ol' Jade Cocoon's fusion system.
