Wasn't he just the boss. It's also sad they've removed swastikas in the remake. You can summon him? Wasn’t he just the boss. It’s also sad they’ve removed swastikas in the remake.

But only until I saw that  challenge http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps2/582958-shin-megami-tensei-nocturne/faqs/55629 that calls for another ocd-motivated run. Anyway that game has somewhat grim charm, unlike Persona 4, which is good but kinda gay.About the spell names, I don't really think they're really all that hard to remember, and it always says what they do in the description or when they're used.

It was really just a nice change of pace but the whole thing with the monsters was reminiscent of Digimon world with having the right monsters to get stronger ones by combining them. The story was fairly compelling. So far the one Shin Megami Tensai game i played was devil survivor.

It just does everything established in the previous SMT's and Persona's perfectly. I have yet to play the Digital Devil's or Devil Summoners (thought I plan too), but I have played all the other ones. Persona 3 was sort of fun and pretty interesting but pretty tedious, especially after playing 4 first. The Devil Survivor's are great, pick up and play, tactical rpg's with cool stories. Strange Journey's good too, but all in all my favorite besides P4 was Nocturne. The story was pretty minimal but the bosses were fun, the music was badass, the atmosphere was heavy, and the end was just awesome. My only problem with it was that (and you have no reason to believe me) it was too easy. Maybe it's because I had already played through P4 and most of P3 when I played it while it was most people's first, but I more or less breezed through it in under a month. Also I played it on Normal, maybe everybody else in the world just immediately jumps to hard, I don't know. I played through it without a strategy guide, only minimal level grinding, and I even beat Matador on my second try. Me deserving a trophy aside, they're great games with a great charm that any fans of rpg's should check out. Especially P4, that's my favorite game of all time.
