Was looking up some myth lore and was surprised to find out how close it is to SMT
>Lesser known Storm God becomes the daimon of a nation and leads them to a bloody conquest in exchange for sacrifice and absorbs other gods to become a monotheistic deity but sees error in his ways and sacrifices his own child to forgive everyone and their sinsKino redemption arch

Aya Nishitani spends a lot of time on twitter talking about Megami Tensei, gives a lot of trivia and just a lot of information in general into how he thought up the concept and how he imagines it and everything. And he engages a lot too, you can ask him or comment on anything and he'd response.Lots of interesting stuff, plus I think it's cool how open he is about it.
