You see, what I am trying to convey when addressing point 1, 3 and 4 is to say the so-called \\\"Great Will\\\" is an entity \\\'\\\'above\\\'\\\' YHVH incarnations controlling a single world or a universe (like in MTII, SMTII, and SMTIII Kagutsuchi), but still \\\'\\\'below\\\'\\\' what the general SMT fandom believes Great Will to be (responsible for all of reality).
To be specific, from the facts the blog presents, it\\\'s made quite clear each time Great Will is mentioned, it\\\'s only ever in the context of a single \\\'\\\'continuity\\\'\\\'. By continuity, I mean a single cosmology: 1 group of universes with an intrinsic connection to each other.
- SMT I, II, and related series explicitly stated to be AlternateTimeline to SMT I (such as Raidou Kuzunoha spinoffs) are all connected via the Akarana Corridor, which makes travel between different worldlines possible. This makes them all a single continuity.
- SMTIII\\\'s Amala with its billions of universes is also one continuity. SMT V \\\'\\\'might\\\'\\\' be in the same continuity (the presence of Amala Drums and the fact Conception was \\\'\\\'supposed\\\'\\\' to happen in the backstory heavily imply so), but that\\\'s not relevant for now.
- SMT IV and IVA universes is another continuity. In IV Stephen shows Flynn 3 different possibilities of the IV universe through the Expanse; and in IVA it\\\'s made clear the Goddess of Tokyo can move from \\\'\\\'this\\\'\\\' universe to \\\'\\\'another\\\'\\\' universe seeking a Messiah to take down Nanashi in Anarchy ending; different universes, but still one cosmology -- same continuity.
Note that the concept of continuities aren\\\'t made up by the fandom; the SMTIVA artbook makes it clear the directors also use the concept. Only, dijeh chose to translate 宇宙 into \\\"universe\\\" -- for example, \\\"Shin Megami Tensei and Shin Megami Tensei II are related, while Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne and Shin Megami Tensei IV are each in their own universes\\\".
This makes things confusing since it\\\'s made explicit SMT III and IV consist of multiple universes (or at least multiple possibilities of the universe for the latter) each, so to make it simpler I chose to call a group of universes with an intrinsic connection as \\\"continuity\\\".
Because of the similarities between the Great Will mentioned in SMT II continuity and III\\\'s Amala (not to mention MTII and SJ), the general fandom (including you and previously me as well) assume they are the same entity, controlling multiple continuities/groups of universes. What the blog is trying to convey is, that is \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' the case.
The primary evidence being, in SMTIVA, Satan asks Anarchy!Nanashi if he is worthy to be the next \\\"will of the universe\\\" whom he is out to replace. As you and I know, that is a title exclusive to the \\\'\\\'Great Will\\\'\\\', so Satan is asking Nanashi if he is worthy to be the next Great Will.
This is supported by the artbook stating YHVH in SMTIVA is indeed in control of multiple universes in SMTIVA continuity (\\\"in order to show he has all the universes under his rule\\\"), unlike \\\"smaller\\\" YHVH incarnations shown in MTII, SMTII, and SJ (each of whom controls just a single world in their respective games).
The blog makes the mistake of assuming this means SMTIVA YHVH is \\\'\\\'also\\\'\\\' Great Will mentioned in the previous games, but \\\'\\\'we\\\'\\\' know better. Satan states Nanashi can replace YHVH as the Will of the Universe of SMTIVA, so we should not assume he is more than that.
What we \\\'\\\'can\\\'\\\' take from this is, since the Great Will of SMTIVA is in fact just YHVH controlling one continuity (mind you, one continuity is still a group of \\\'\\\'countless universes\\\'\\\'), why do we assume Great Will of previous games are all this one great being who controls the entire SMT multiverse?
Isn\\\'t it more likely now that each mention of Great Will refers to a specific entity controlling a specific continuity? As in, Great Will of Amala is not the same as Great Will of SMT II continuity, and so do other mentions of Great Will?
Note every mention of Great Will has \\\'\\\'never\\\'\\\' explicitly claimed they are in charge of the entire multiverse, at the absolute most in MTII YHVH only claims \\\"I am a part of a being who controls countless universes\\\" and in Nocturne, \\\"such is the way of Amala, as determined by the Great Will\\\"; i.e. one continuity each. It\\\'s just each time they are mentioned, they seem similar enough that \\\'\\\'we\\\'\\\' assume they are all one entity (making us assume it\\\'s ContinuityNod, when they might very well be cases of AlternateSelf).

Note that the concept of continuities aren\\\'t made up by the fandom; the SMTIVA artbook makes it clear the directors also use the concept. Only, dijeh chose to translate 宇宙 into \\\"universe\\\" -- for example, \\\"Shin Megami Tensei and Shin Megami Tensei II are related, while Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne and Shin Megami Tensei IV are each in their own universes\\\".
This makes things confusing since it\\\'s made explicit SMT III and IV consist of multiple universes (or at least multiple possibilities of the universe for the latter) each, so to make it simpler I chose to call a group of universes with an intrinsic connection as \\\"continuity\\\".
Because of the similarities between the Great Will mentioned in SMT II continuity and III\\\'s Amala (not to mention MTII and SJ), the general fandom (including you and previously me as well) assume they are the same entity, controlling multiple continuities/groups of universes. What the blog is trying to convey is, that is \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' the case.
The primary evidence being, in SMTIVA, Satan asks Anarchy!Nanashi if he is worthy to be the next \\\"will of the universe\\\" whom he is out to replace. As you and I know, that is a title exclusive to the \\\'\\\'Great Will\\\'\\\', so Satan is asking Nanashi if he is worthy to be the next Great Will.
This is supported by the artbook stating YHVH in SMTIVA is indeed in control of multiple universes in SMTIVA continuity (\\\"in order to show he has all the universes under his rule\\\"), unlike \\\"smaller\\\" YHVH incarnations shown in MTII, SMTII, and SJ (each of whom controls just a single world in their respective games).
The blog makes the mistake of assuming this means SMTIVA YHVH is \\\'\\\'also\\\'\\\' Great Will mentioned in the previous games, but \\\'\\\'we\\\'\\\' know better. Satan states Nanashi can replace YHVH as the Will of the Universe of SMTIVA, so we should not make more assumptions.
What we \\\'\\\'can\\\'\\\' take from this is, since the Great Will of SMTIVA is in fact just YHVH controlling one continuity (mind you, one continuity is still a group of \\\'\\\'countless universes\\\'\\\'), why do we assume Great Will of previous games are all this one great being who controls the entire SMT multiverse?
Isn\\\'t it more likely now that each mention of Great Will refers to a specific entity controlling a specific continuity? As in, Great Will of Amala is not the same as Great Will of SMT II continuity, and so do other mentions of Great Will?
Note every mention of Great Will has \\\'\\\'never\\\'\\\' explicitly claimed they are in charge of the entire multiverse; it\\\'s just each time they are mentioned, they seem similar enough that \\\'\\\'we\\\'\\\' assume they are all one entity (making us assume it\\\'s ContinuityNod, when they might very well be cases of AlternateSelf).

Isn\\\'t it more likely now that each mention of Great Will refers to a specific entity controlling a specific cosmology? As in, Great Will of Amala is not the same as Great Will of SMT II continuity, and so do other mentions of Great Will?
Note every mention of Great Will has \\\'\\\'never\\\'\\\' made it seem like they are in fact in charge of the entire multiverse; it\\\'s just each time they are mentioned, they seem similar enough that \\\'\\\'we\\\'\\\' assume they are all one entity (making us assume it\\\'s ContinuityNod, when in reality it\\\'s a case of AlternateSelf).
To be specific, from the facts the blog presents, it\\\'s made quite clear each time Great Will is mentioned, it\\\'s only ever in the context of a single \\\'\\\'continuity\\\'\\\'. By continuity, I mean a single cosmology: 1 group of universes with an intrinsic connection to each other.
- SMT I, II, and related series explicitly stated to be AlternateTimeline to SMT I (such as Raidou Kuzunoha spinoffs) are all connected via the Akarana Corridor, which makes travel between different worldlines possible. This makes them all a single continuity.
- SMTIII\\\'s Amala with its billions of universes is also one continuity. SMT V \\\'\\\'might\\\'\\\' be in the same continuity (the presence of Amala Drums and the fact Conception was \\\'\\\'supposed\\\'\\\' to happen in the backstory heavily imply so), but that\\\'s not relevant for now.
- SMT IV and IVA universes is another continuity. In IV Stephen shows Flynn 3 different possibilities of the IV universe through the Expanse; and in IVA it\\\'s made clear the Goddess of Tokyo can move from \\\'\\\'this\\\'\\\' universe to \\\'\\\'another\\\'\\\' universe seeking a Messiah to take down Nanashi in Anarchy ending; different universes, but still one cosmology -- same continuity.
Note that the concept of continuities aren\\\'t made up by the fandom; the SMTIVA artbook makes it clear the directors also use the concept. Only, dijeh chose to translate 宇宙 into \\\"universe\\\" -- for example, \\\"Shin Megami Tensei and Shin Megami Tensei II are related, while Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne and Shin Megami Tensei IV are each in their own universes\\\".
This makes things confusing since it\\\'s made explicit SMT III and IV consist of multiple universes (or at least multiple possibilities of the universe for the latter) each, so to make it simpler I chose to call a group of universes with an intrinsic connection as \\\"continuity\\\".
Because of the similarities between the Great Will mentioned in SMT II continuity and III\\\'s Amala (not to mention MTII and SJ), the general fandom (including you and previously me as well) assume they are the same entity, controlling multiple continuities/cosmologies/different groups of universes. What the blog is trying to convey is, that is \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' the case.
The primary evidence being, in SMTIVA, Satan asks Anarchy!Nanashi if he is worthy to be the next \\\"will of the universe\\\" whom he is out to replace. As you and I know, that is a title exclusive to the \\\'\\\'Great Will\\\'\\\', so Satan is asking Nanashi if he is worthy to be the next Great Will.
This is supported by the artbook stating YHVH in SMTIVA is indeed in control of multiple universes in SMTIVA continuity (\\\"in order to show he has all the universes under his rule\\\"), unlike \\\"smaller\\\" YHVH incarnations shown in MTII, SMTII, and SJ (each of whom controls just a single world in their respective games).

You see, what I am trying to convey when addressing point 1, 3 and 4 is to say the so-called \\\"Great Will\\\" is an entity \\\'\\\'above\\\'\\\' YHVH incarnations controlling a single world or a universe (like in MTII, SMTII, and SMTIII Kagutsuchi), but still \\\'\\\'below\\\'\\\' what the general SMT fandom believes Great Will to be (responsible for all of reality).
