Shin Megami Tensei V daily demon vol. 139 – Parvati

Atlus has shared the latest daily demon video for Shin Megami Tensei V, this latest one highlighting the demom Parvati. Check out the video and some additional details below the break.

Here is some of the history behind Parvati from the Megami Tensei wiki:

Parvati is the Hindu goddess of fertility, love, beauty, harmony, marriage, children and devotion; as well as of divine strength and power. This beautiful goddess is also the second consort of Shiva in the Hindu mythology. A mountain princess, she is the reincarnation of the goddess Sati (Shiva’s first consort), and won Shiva’s love in her previous life despite his asceticism, but immolated herself after her father’s disapproval. Reborn as Parvati, daughter of the snow mountain god Himalayas, she sought Shiva out. Because the gods required Shiva’s offspring to defeat their fierce adversaries, they sacrificed Kama in order to stoke Shiva’s suppressed desire for a female partner. The two reunited eventually and together gave birth to Kartikeya and later on, Ganesha. They have the ability to merge into the half-male, half-female Ardha.

The goddess Durga is considered the fiercer, demon-fighting aspect of Parvati while Kali is considered by Hindus to be an aspect of Durga.

Shin Megami Tensei V is scheduled to arrive on Switch on November 12. Earlier coverage for the game, including previous daily demon videos, can be found here.
