re: Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne reprint

Just a heads-up to all you Shin Megami Tensei fans: Play-Asia is offering a limited reprint of Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne (PS2) for only $44.90.

Considering that the cheapest new copy you can buy on Amazon is, like, $70, this is a pretty good deal (even if it doesn't include the soundtrack).

How is it as a game? I've only played Persona 3 but I loved it, so I'm interested in the other titles.

I also haven't played any other Shin Megami Tensei games besides P3 and Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army, but my friend Michael (who always has the best taste in games) has highly recommended any games in this series to me in the past.

And hey, it includes Dante (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin_Megami_Tensei:_Nocturne#Dante)! Er, that wiki link probably has spoilers, so skip it if you'd like.

Haha. I love the sudden icon change.

To summarize the game: A great catastrophe called Conception takes place, it makes the world a waste land and kills/transforms all the inhabitants (except the ones located in a single abandoned hospital). Your main character is granted Magatama and is then able to recruit other demons to find out what the hell is going on.

I dunno, it's been a while since I played, I should start a new file to celebrate the occasion.

Shin Megami Tensei is really great, always dark, brooding, and philosophical... and usually a tad bit difficult.
