series began in Japan in 1992 on Super Famicom. Neither this game nor its
sequel was published in North America. In 2004 Shin Megami Tensei III:
Nocturne was the first SMT game in North America, although “”III”” was removed
from the PlayStation 2 title. The SMT series later spun off several sub
series, including Persona, Devil Summoner, Devil Survivor, Digital Devil Saga,
and the standalone Strange Journey. This new RPG is considered the fourth in
the Shin Megami Tensei mainline series. In 1492, the kingdom of East Mikado is
protected by high walls, with the castle and its king at the center. A young
warrior, 18 years old, has just been chosen to become a Samurai, one who, with
the aid of a special tool called a Gauntlet, will serve as a secret protector
of the city. It is the duty of the Samurai to exterminate a demon threat of
which its citizens are unaware. However, the situation is not as simple as
human versus demon; There are factions within the human group that must be
discovered and understood in order for alliances to be formed, paths set, and
the destiny of the world decided. From the Manufacturer view larger Shin
