3DS Shin Megami Tensei IV Final

Reviews and Thoughts

This game is actually a popular series. You can find a lot of Shin Megami Tensei games in almost any game console. One thing I like about this game is the story. Unfortunately you have to able to read Japanese to read the story. I think it makes better sense when the story is in Japanese. English version of the game just does not feel right. Perhaps it is due to the cultural different. The fighting style is the same as the popular game Dragon Quest. The game requires you to through battle, level up and advance according to your ability. The pet system and combine algorithm is part of the interesting part of the game. Obviously the goal is to breed the strongest pet to clear the game. In order to enjoy the game fully, you will have to play the game slowly and try to understand the story. The character voice tends to bring out the best of the game. There are several ending to the game. So this will makes you run the game several time again and again if you want to clear all the endings.

Description from Play Asia

Atlus is bringing us Shin Megami Tensei IV: Final for the 3DS, set in the year 203X! The gods' war has devastated and transformed near-future Tokyo into a demon capital. As the battle between the gods Lucifer and Merkabah entered its final phase, the demon Krishna appeared. Spearheading the "Polytheistic Gods Alliance," Krishna declared war on Lucifer, Merkabah, and the monotheistic gods. But when mankind is dragged into a brand new war, along with our protagonist agreeing to become a "god killer," what path will you choose?

Shin Megami Tensei IV: Final is described as a full-length followup to the 2013 release, and will feature multiple endings to a brand new story (consisting of multiple story branches) revolving around the central theme of "monotheism vs. polytheism." Despite being a sequel the developer's aim has been to create the ultimate RPG able to be enjoyed by all gamers, regardless if they have played the previous title in the series. However, if players have save data from Shin Megami Tensei IV, they will obtain items and equipment that will be useful on their adventure in Shin Megami Tensei IV: Final.

Producer Kazuyuki Yamai has said that the new SMT title will further improve upon the series by including improvements to "things like controls and demon conversations." Other improvements include a revamped demons fusion system and a newly renovated UI.
