Gotta say, I don't really get the rational about *Make a video for every single demon*. That just seems like an awful lot of work that's watched by a comparatively low amount of people who are probably the same people every-time to begin with.

Seems incredibly inefficient from a marketing standpoint.

Also makes no sense since this isn't pokemon.
Old fans want to see dungeons and difficult bosses,which this isn't.
New fans want edgy persona stories,which this isn't.
Kinda makes me think the people making the game have no idea what they are doing if "people play smt for da demons" is their mindset.
But that would explain the lack of dungeons.

Marketing dept probably thought these videos would help to maintain public awareness by being shared through gaming forums and the likes. Considering this thread is usually bumped when a new one comes out, they might even be right.

Could you shut up about the dungeons already? There have been videos posted time and time again about interior locations that well be could be dungeons (00:22) just like this one:

Well, let me say then that it certainly looks like a dungeon.

The problem is it gets shared among the same people (View numbers also seem to indicate that). Anyone who's taking the time to watch this was probably going to buy the game anyway.

For the amount of effort you put in producing all of this you want to expand your audience, not just satisfy an audience that's already satisfied at this point. (Not that engagement isn't important, but having to make and edit 100+ videos, however short just seems too much.)

Less talk and more penis monsters! I wish to see if the almighty Mara would instantly generate outrage by the woke crowd, as it is very likely it would happen.

Oh sweet summer child

You probably missed all the discussions by the woke crowd about Mara's gender already. Probably an icon more than anything.

Wait what?
Don't tell me some retards attempted to rationalize Mara IS NOT male. It's literally impossible to be otherwise.

Wargod Ganesha: An elephant-headed god of Indian mythology. Parvati created him from dirt, but he was suddenly decapitated by Shiva. The remains were given the first elephant head he could find as a replacement, resulting in his present form.

Shockingly enough, there is no Blight skill in sight.
