Ah yes. They went for a Big Mac because Okumura Foods went out of business.

I find it hilarious that it costs the same price to summon two weak demons from the Aether and fuse them together as it does to get a Big Mac.

Fighting demons works up an appetite. Fortunately Daat’s economy is stable enough to have a few McDonald’s for an after combat meal

I like to imagine the currency exchanger for all of these so far is the same person. Now, they have loads of Macca, alongside Red Orbs, Pokedollars, Gil, Pesetas, and LB Dollars.

shoulda kept the 2003 mic quality fr i was tearing up from nostalgia

This guy is a complete mystery, other than the fact that he is indeed the bad guy.

Somehow the blasted land of Da'at, an apocalyptic hell from 18 years ago still has better food prices than the US

I love how there's a meme about the Nahabino at McDonald's and Aogami recommend he get the fries with his meal for the coming days.

Meti is answering what not even YHVH is capable of answering. Love it

The Canned Oden standard isn't reliable as a normal conversion rate standard, since it would be a collector's item much like the protagonist's yen in SMT 1.

Two things: First, I believe it's safe to assume SMT1 takes place in 1996. We know from novelizations that SMTif takes place shortly before the nukes drop in SMT1, and both SMTif and Persona 1 take place in the same year because Tamaki is a second year student in both games. And P1 takes place in 1996 because P2 takes place three years later in 1999 because of the Grand Cross. Secondly, there's something most people aren't aware of, but in the Devil Children games both the human *and* demon worlds use macca as a currency. So in the world of Devil Children you can literally visit a fast food restaurant in the human world and buy a burger with macca. The so-called "Expanse Burger" costs 180 macca in the GBC-era games, and 120 macca in the GBA-era ones.

13:23 I feel like the joke could have been "the most mac out of your Macca"

The big mac series returns and continues to unironically be the best shit ever.

only in the law route will you get the chance to exchange macca for maccadonalds

It's important to remember that Gustav is a collector. He's buying the "relics" from you because he is a collector, and we all know the inflated price people are willing to pay for rare things.

Finally. An interesting lore analysis about SMTV that really dives into the world. Thank you so much for this insight, Meti.

Wasn't excepting smt content here, but it was a happy surprise

Patiently waiting for How Much Ahn Does Roland Need to Buy a Big Mac (Although I doubt HamHamPangPang being destroyed during a fight between syndicates would have done much for his already damaged sanity)

It would've been better to say that the can of oden's price was inflated by 75%, considering that Gustave is a collector who will pay premium for human relics. Since he will by your normal items, that are naturally abundant in the netherworld, at 1/4 its price.

Next video what demons can cook

You can find small fortunes that seem to just be bundles of "old world" paper money. That might solve things.

Meti, you treat us so good thank you for giving us such amazing content for so long.

I will be sure to put this information to good use when I play SMT V Vengeance in the near future.

This video is both hilarious and insightful. Its a little difficult to play every single SMT game out there, and the idea of McDonald's in a post apocalyptic world is funny to me

This, this has been hilarious and very interesting to deep-dive into. Thank you for the laughs as this made my day.

Yeeesssss yum yum Maccadonalds

Ah, poor Lucifuge. He has such problems keeping a stable exchange rate.

Now this is real SMT video.

Love your content ❤❤❤

"Make sure to bring more macca next time!"

Never thought I would hear hunting Betral in the background of main line smt games ( loving it though )

7:57 There's no way it was 7 years ago.

I'm surprised you didn't mention that in Digital Devil Saga, Macca and USD have a 1:1 conversion rate

da'at australia - 702 macca big mac

I absolutely *adored* all your Jojo content when I was in hs. Now that I've graduated I've been getting really into smt, and now you start to cover it? The coincidence is unreal, and I love your channel gamer! I was surprised to hear you talking in a video about I thiiink, the different personas of the party members?

If you try to pay with the wrong amount of Macca, the Jack Frost turns into Black Frost and fights you

I’m glad you finally did it

That's the type of content I want from this Fandom Splendid

Great video

Meti asking the REAL questions

Please Meti, can you do a " the beauty of mario zucchero " ?, I think it was the only character in part 5 that you didn't make a video about, I love this style of video.

for an outro i was not expecting a limbus company jumpscare from alfonso in canto 4

YES ANOTHER UPLOAD

I think it's probably wrong to assume Gustave is buying relics at 1/4 value. For the useful items, it's part of his business, he buys cheap so that he can turn a profit. But the relics aren't being resold, he's a collector, just like the SMT1 exchange guy.

"You curious humans with your knowledge..." Nahabino : 🤨🍔

SMT ECONOMICS!!! RAAAAAAAAAAH

This is it.

7:15 Exactly how I would describe soda tbh

Now we’re asking the real questions.

Was assuming this video would use comparison between MegaTen games using Macca, and MegaTen games using Yen (because it depends!) to guesstimate an exchange rate. Looking at the Macca price of soda is... much simpler.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think one of the SMT games also states that you can eat the Macca as well?

Ty for the australia mention. Love Macca's chips

I think McDonalds would have the cooking instructions right there with the ingredients, there's no way even Pyro Jack couldn't figure out how to cook a McDonalds burger

Wow, you really enjoy doing this. Thinking about doing Kingdom Hearts currency in the future?

My immediate answer to the title in my head was "whatever price our lord and savior gustav puts on it"

Don't worry, Aitvaras is cooking

In order to do this you would need to convert macca to yen then yen to dollars i think smt iv/ apocalypse helps with this because one of the relics is a 100 yen bill or something like it then you have account for when smt V takes place

2:53 serph is throwing US dollars, thats why he has bills. DDS2 happens in USA

0:55 yo Sanalite plushie found. I literally grabbed mine just cause of that.

How did we go from a breakdown of roland, one of the most depressed characters (that I have ever seen) in fiction, to how much macca do I need to buy a Big Mac Follow up question: why am I a fan of both series?

Finally someone asking the real questions ...

Now this is content

10:52 Aigami got the Nahobino pregnant? 😮

While I'm hesitant to make sweeping lore statements about MegaTen games, the fact that Strange Journey depicts Macca as an energy source, and SMT4A describes Demons as taking shape due to human "Observation" (4A being developed alongside Persona 5, if this sounds like "Cognition", it should), or even the Devil Survivor games talking about how demons sorta un-exist when not summoned, it feels like Macca isn't a physical currency minted in electrum, but more like a sort of free-floating representation of energy, that demons would thus care for.

Damn inflation hit the demons harder than us

Big Mac’s a Big Mac, but in Da’ at they call it Le Big Mac.

*looks at my 6,000 macca quest reward* Damn, Koshimizu’s cheap.

Asking the real questions! 😂

Random but will we ever get an analysis on hajime kashimo from jjk?

This is it. Your magnum opus

Thank you Shin Megami Tensei

Smt restaurant called hungry Jack's run by the jack bros. King Frost could be the Burger King

I was literally scrolling through subs and I see this and start uncontrollably laughing

Now this here is what maths were invented for.

I called It meti

There’s a point to be made about the ħ symbol, interpreted as Saturn, being conflated with the idea of Saturn as a false/Demiurgic deity figure in Hermetic and Gnostic principles. And it *does* facilitate payment for fusions, or in other words, “creation”. But that’s a massive, MASSIVE stretch. Of course none of this contributes to exchange rates-

Alfonso jumoscare

are you telling me pyro jack was stupid enough to open a restaurant in the netherworld but didn't change the currencies listed on the menu

I'd disagree that relics are bought at quarter cost, given they're relics, not usable items, and Gustave is a collector. I'd personally guess either closer to a half, at cheapest, up to 1.5x The only other notes I have is we can probably use Nocturne knowledge if helpful to expand on this, as in the Canon of Vengeance, one of the miman state that the netherworld was born starting at a hospital near Shinjuku, kinda north-east of Yoyogi. That lines up with the Conception in Nocturne. Whether the gameplay of Nocturne happens before SMTV, different question, I'm not educated enough to answer that. But, Conception is the same starting point.

I love how the pyro Jack won’t do the conversion rate lmao😂

Can you do video about the Nier series

Hm. I feel like Gustav probably doesn’t buy items at an accurate exchange rate. He’ll buy a school bathing suit off you for like 5000 macca and a vinyl umbrella for 10000 macca. I don’t think the prices are particularly accurate to real world currency and it’s just worth that much to him since he a collector.

Please make video about kokushibou

Gotta get some maccas for Macca's, y'know what I mean?

Im sure the Nahobino could negotiate with the cashier

I want to play persona now

2:56 Notice anything...sussy

Unregistered Hypercam 2 huh? Man, back when YT and the internet was good.

big macca

Imma leave that nahobino eating for two in a different way

Can you do how much Ahn must Dante pay to buy a big mac in the City?

Now I'm curious how much it'd cost to get KFC in SMT

702 macca? Fuckin' rippa

Borgar

Dx2 didnt, but IMAGINE did!!

Shin megami tensei character video when

Considering McDonald's is called Macca's in Australia, here's a tongue twister. Nahobino uses macca to buy a Big Mac at Macca's.

wait whys alfonso here

Demi-Nandi patties. Likely full of antibiotics and soy filler.

does Aogami need to eat food
