Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne

Part 2




FIRST UPDATE:


Atlus! Makers of fine games! Publishers of painfully small quantities of said games!


This is the title screen. I will be watching it a lot these days. It moves.
It is creepy. And it is awesome.



Load Game. Yes. Why? You'll see. I already explained it in the OP, but you'll see.


THIS is the reason.
The New Cycle. NewGame+. Allows me to get access to all the demons one summoned in the previous playthrough and (supposedly) ignores the level limitations for the summon.
Does not reduce the money they charge to summon them, though.
That is a pretty important difference between SMT:N and the other two games. Once you summon a demon, you'll be able to summon it again for a monetary compensation in the Cathedral of Shadows. The demons ALSO level up this time. So you can develop your demon, and reregister it in the Cathedral, so you can summon a stronger form later.


Normal Difficulty. It is hard enough this way.


HARD.
It is REALLY FREAKING HARD.
Enemies do double damage. And there is a freaking item limit.
Do not want.
REALLY DO NOT WANT.



Yeah, suuuure.



There is a light. A blinding, white, strong light. It hurts.



Then it dissolves. A woman is there. A woman...


Nothingness?



Un...birthing?


Oh. Either necro-unbirthing, or reincarnation. I think I prefer the latter.
But does a world have a mother, anyway?


So sayeth... Who?


PERSONA!
Oh wait. No. That's wrong.


The first choice. It is not important, but it is a choice.
This particular choice affects the attire of the Main Chaaracter. What should be taken?
