Rarities: Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne for Playstation 2

Right around the time that Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 was picking up in popularity, word began spreading about Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. People who couldn’t get enough of Persona 3 wanted the next closest thing, and Nocturne was it. At that point, the game was already rare due to a limited number of copies produced. Since then they have become even more scarce to the point where the only place you can find a copy is probably eBay or Amazon.com for around $70.00.
Imagine my surprise when I noticed that Play-Asia somehow has an unknown supply of brand-spankin’-new copies. If that wasn’t enough, they are (comparably) dirt cheap, priced at $44.90. If you are a new fan of the MegaTen series, now is the time to strike. You can purchase the game by clicking here.
Nocturne is about a teenage boy and his life after the cataclysmic event known as “The Conception” which effectively wiped out all humans, and caused the earth to become an eerie fusion of the demon world and the real world. The protagonist survives the same way as the earth, by becoming a hybrid– not quite demon and not quite human. He wanders the ruins of Japan in search of a reason, battling deadly demons and occasionally meeting friends who met similar fates.
The most unique feature of the game is the ability to recruit demons to your side via MegaTen’s patented “talk” system. Recruited demons can evolve, learn new abilities and become helpful allies. Nocturne also features multiple endings depending on the “reason” the player follows. The US version contains an optional series of dungeons known as “Kalpas” which can be used to (among other things) get Devil May Cry’s Dante to join your party.
In addition to the extra dungeon, the US release comes with a bonus soundtrack disc.
Again, if you are at all interested in the series, and don’t own it yet, I highly recommend grabbing a copy.
