| Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game) | comment |
The first game in the Shin Megami Tensei JRPG series, and Spiritual Successor to Megami Tensei. It was released in Japan in 1992 for the Super Nintendo and later released for the PC Engine Super CD-Rom and Sega CD. Remakes for the PlayStation and Game Boy Advance came out in 2002, which was eventually ported to iOS in 2012note Though it no longer works with the current operating system, and Atlus has shown no interest in updating it. It later got a direct sequel in Shin Megami Tensei II.It's a fairly average day for you in Tokyo, aside from the vaguely prophetic dream you had the night before. The dog needs to be walked, your mother wants you to run down to the cafe and pick up some coffee, and you received an email claiming that a portal to Hell has been opened and that demons are invading the world.Wait, what?Things quickly go from bad to worse as Tokyo is placed under martial law and you are thrown into jail accused of murder. Your only weapon against the ensuing chaos is a Demon Summoning Program: a mysterious piece of software that allows you to converse with and bind demons to your service. Soon you manage to meet up with the allies you saw in your dream and La Résistance, learning that not only is a Japanese general attempting to use the demons to commit a coup-d'etat, but America is threatening to "solve" the demon crisis by dropping a dozen nukes on the city. However, all is not as it seems, and soon Tokyo has been destroyed as part of a greater scheme.This is only the beginning.The real meat of the game takes place thirty years After the End in the ruins of Tokyo. Two factions are trying to create a new world in their image: first, the Messians, whose goal is to establish a Thousand Year Kingdom of God under the (rather unforgiving) guidance of the angels. Opposing them are the Gaians, who wish to return the world to a primal state of anarchy with the demons. Having been thrown forward in time to escape the destruction of Tokyo, you must now become The Kingmaker and decide just what shape the world shall take.The first four main characters have no default name; however, they were later given a number of "official" names: Hero - The silent main character. Possesses an innate talent for summoning, which allows him to use the Demon Summoning Program successfully. Heroine - Leader of La Résistance. Action Girl. Has very strong magical abilities. After the End she goes missing, but eventually becomes your main female companion and your only human companion. Law Hero - A young, idealistic man who you meet while he's looking for his missing girlfriend. Possesses a fierce willpower. After the End, he gravitates towards the message of peace broadcast by the Messians. Chaos Hero - A young, arrogant punk. When you first meet him, he's getting the crap kicked out him by Ozawa and his gang. Despite his tough talk, he's a wimp on his own. After the End, he fuses himself with a demon to gain incredible power and dumps you for the Gaians. Stephen - A disabled genius in a wheelchair, and creator of the Demon Summoning Program. Later gives you upgrades that allow you to store and summon more demons. Totally not Stephen Hawking. Yuriko - A beautiful woman who appears in your dreams and pledges to be your "eternal partner". Quickly shows her true colors. Doesn't mind disposing of any romantic rivals. Ozawa - A gang leader who is first shown kicking around Chaos Hero. Later shows himself to have some talent at Demon Summoning and joins up with the Gaians. After the End, he's a cranky old man who struck a deal with the demons so he could rule over Shibuya. Pascal, the Hero's dog who fuses himself with a demon to aid the Hero.Shin Megami Tensei is a first-person dungeon crawler much in the same vein as the RPGs of its time, such as A Bard's Tale or Wizardrynote in fact, the early Megami Tensei games in general seem to take a lot of their design beats from Wizardry IV, what with recruiting monsters, limited numbers of human heroes, and very complex dungeons. It uses a turn-based battle system, though you are given the option to talk to a demon before you battle to see if you can endear yourself to it. By winning the favour of a demon, you can ask it for money, items, healing or to join your party. However, demons do not gain experience points so the only way to strengthen your party is to fuse two or more demons together at the Jakyou Manor, creating vastly more powerful demons that can exceed your own level.Your Character Alignment is a huge focus of the game. Depending on the choices you make, the demons you recruit and the missions you accept, the main character's alignment will change to Law, Balance or Chaos. This mainly affects the ending you receive, but also affects what demons you can recruit (Law demons will refuse to join you if you are Chaotic and vice versa), what items you can equip and what healing stations that you can use (each faction has its own healing station; using an opposing faction's healing station will cost you more). There's no "right" path to follow- in fact, the game strongly encourages the player to find their own philosophy and treats you as the hero no matter what side you follow, if any.The graphics aren't that great and the game itself is Nintendo Hard. It also suffers from some baffling design choices, like having to go through three menu screens to access a sorely-needed minimap. But it was a revolutionary game for its time: in an age where seemingly every RPG was linear, had little plot and was stuck in the medieval high fantasy genre, Shin Megami Tensei had a wide, sprawling overworld where you could do what you wanted, delivered a truly outstanding plot for its time and was a radical post-apocalyptic Urban Fantasy.The game never got a release in the West, but a group called Aeon Genesis has released a translation patch for the SNES ROM; a second patch by a modder called Orden was released, fixing some of the bugs in the Aeon Genesis patch and making some translation changes to get the script more in line with the official translations. However, an English version was made available on the iOS app store on March 18, 2014. Although technically, the Japanese version was available worldwide on the iOS app store for a while until it was apparently region locked, with the description reading that the game would never get an English translation. Unfortunately, it is no longer compatible with current OSes, with Atlus not appearing interested in updating it. Not to let the work on the official translation go to waste, another modder called Gymzatan ended up back porting the iOS script to the GBA version. Another English translation patch was released for its PlayStation remake in 2022. On August 11, 2022, the Mega-CD version of the game was announced to be included in the selection of games for the Mega Drive Mini 2 in Japan. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
| Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game) / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: Nobody, from main characters to bit ones, is safe in this game. Your mother is killed and eaten by a demon. Tokyo is ruined in a nuclear strike from the USA, starting a catastrophic war that leaves the rest of the world in a similar state. You kill lots and lots of demons, and do the same to quite a few humans too. In the Neutral Path, you kill all your friends. You kill their demonic or godly leaders. Then, there's a second apocalypse where a great tectonic movement causes gargantuan amounts of water to flow into Tokyo, plunging pretty much the entire post-apocalyptic Japan underwater, killing pretty much everyone you haven't yet killed yourself. The only habitable area within the entire city is a small island holding a large "cathedral" tower where the final confrontations take place. Take a Third Option by killing both bosses and there will be only three characters and a handful of nondescript demons and humans left alive in all of Japan at the end of the game. | |

| Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Arioch's stomach mouth and Astaroth riding ass-naked on a snake. Not to mention the dreaded Mara. A man in the arcade complains about how the Antique shop owner refuses to sell him 'the good stuff'. He's talking about guns. In the IOS translation, someone in Roppongi talks about the Red Count's 'Precious Pot.' That's the Glancing Pot, which can seal away Belial. | |

Adam and Eve Plot | |
| Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game) / int_1e95dd12 | comment |
Adam and Eve Plot: By the end, there's only a handful of humans and demons left alive in Tokyo, and most of them are in the Cathedral. The Protagonist and the Heroine are thus left with the fate of Earth in their hands. Note that Yuriko/Lillth actually believes the main character is Adam, suggesting the possibility the Protagonist and the Heroine are the Reincarnations of Adam and Eve. | |

Church Militant | |
| Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game) / int_2139c878 | comment |
Church Militant: The Messians, After the End, are portrayed as extreme Knights Templar. They tend to demand you join their church and donate generously or they'll kill you. On the positive side, they're the closest thing to a social services network that exists in what's left of Tokyo, at least for those who believe (or say they do), and in the Cathedral they're the only faction capable of protecting the survivors in their town from demons. | |

| Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: Tokyo Just Before the End is already kind of bad, as the city is in a battle between the Americans, Gotou and his demons, and the rebels who want to stop them both. After the End, demons are everywhere, the Messians and the Gaians are even more prominent and are now in an all-out war, and eventually it all gets flooded by God, killing everybody not inside the giant Cathedral at the time. | |

Failure Is the Only Option | |
| Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game) / int_260926c3 | comment |
Failure Is the Only Option: You get to choose to side with Law or Chaos Just Before the End. Working with Chaos causes Law to bring the apocalypse in revenge. Working with Law has you preparing the world for the apocalypse they were going to bring anyway. Working with neither makes Law bring the apocalypse anyways. It would be a waste of perfectly good missiles if they weren't used, y'know. | |

A Taste of Power: Played with. Early in the game, you can fuse your dog with a demon to create Cerberus, a high-level demon that would, under normal circumstances, be impossible to attain without doing some major level grinding. With this Cerberus, you can easily make it through the following dungeon. It will leave your party before long, though, but it can rejoin you during the game's latter half. | |

Infinity -1 Sword | |
| Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game) / int_480c69ba | comment |
Infinity -1 Sword: The Mitsurugi (Law), the Kurikara (Chaos), and the Masakado sword (Neutral) are Infinity -2 swords. All you need to do to get them is either crack open some chests in the final dungeon (Mutsurugi/Kurikara) or ask Masakado politely for his sword (Masakado), and they hit really hard. Unfortunately, they are all male-exclusive, so the Heroine is SOL. The Kagutsuchi is the true Infinity -1 sword. The process to get it is slightly more involved than the previous weapons (you need to do a chain of sword fusions on the rather unassuming Kusanagi), but it is only surpassed by the near-unobtainable Fiend weapons, can be wielded by both protagonists, is the only ultimate weapon to be usable by any alignment, and gives a nice bonus to all stats. | |

Fish out of Temporal Water: The Hero, Law Hero, and Chaos Hero are flung thirty years into the future. The first thing they do is meet a beggar who reveals that their yen from the old world is now completely worthless, and Macca is the new currency. | |

Rare Random Drop | |
| Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game) / int_4afad1b9 | comment |
Rare Random Drop: Each of the Fiends drops the most powerful alignment weapons in the game: David drops the Neutral weapon Stradivari, Daisoujou drops the Chaos weapon Reaper Bell, and the Pale Rider drops the Law weapon Angel's Trumpet. Each weapon has a 1/256 chance of dropping which, when combined with the fact that each Fiend has a 1/256 chance of showing up in certain areas, makes for quite a frustrating search. | |

Disc-One Nuke | |
| Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game) / int_5b81ca8d | comment |
Disc-One Nuke: When the Heroine joins your party in 199X, she comes equipped with an SMG and Nerve Bullets, the first of which is a gun that hits multiple targets, and the latter being a bullet that causes Sleep 75% of the time when it hits. While the SMG is a fairly expensive weapon you can buy by the time you recruit her, the nerve bullets aren't available for purchase until 20XX. You can equip some other bullets on her and give the Nerve Bullets to the Hero, giving you a much easier time in the rest of 199X and the Diamond Realm. In fact, simply loading all your human characters with Multi-targeting guns and nerve bullets is usually enough to deal with most random encounters until you reach the Tokyo Police Department, which is firmly past the halfway point through the game. | |

The first zombies you encounter appear to be men in hospital gowns and middle-aged women, but eventually, zombie police and zombie soldiers are encountered as enemies, until finally, the only zombies you see are towering blobs of rotting green corpses. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: You are asked to allocate stats in the Point Build System for every human party member at the very beginning of the game, before you have any idea of these characters' abilities or what the stats do exactly. You can easily gimp your characters by, for instance, putting points into Magic on a character who cannot use magic. This is a prevalent problem for new players that will end in much ceaseless wandering before they find the next locale or individual that they need to find in order to progress. For example, the first big one is finding a logbook to get into the rebel base, which you get by going to a specific bar in the very mall where the base is situated in and giving a bartender specific responses to give you the logbook. So you get rare items from certain locations during certain phases of the moon. Good luck finding out what phase is the right one, by the way. | |

The Cuckoolander Was Right: Plenty of people at the beginning of the game are labelled as crazy or hallucinating when they ramble on about demons appearing in the streets, the government kidnapping and experimenting on people, and the world coming to an end. That doesn't even begin to cover what happens After the End. If you're willing to sift between the Cassandra Truths and the people who actually are crazy, you can learn some important plot points far earlier than you normally do. Some things you can learn early: Everyone in Roppongi is a zombie, the Basilica is the Millennium Kingdom, and Thorman isn't human. | |

From Bad to Worse | |
| Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game) / int_7870735b | comment |
From Bad to Worse: This could probably sum up the game as a whole. You start the game just as demons have been summoned into the world and a coup has forced martial law to be put in effect in Tokyo, eventually climaxing with the nuking of Tokyo. After that chaos you're thrust into an Apocalyptic wasteland that also happens to now be the war ground for the battle between the forces of Law and Chaos. Eventually you have to decide whether to follow one of the armies, or take a Neutral stance and kill everyone. It's a pretty lose-lose situation all throughout. | |

Cerberus, which you get by fusing your family dog with a demon. When you first get it will likely dish and take more damage than everything else you have COMBINED, and will ignore the rules that a demon as powerful as it is should be uncontrollable for you at that point.

| Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game) / int_902fa0b4 | comment |
Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: A few of the bosses, but especially Ladon, as there is no indication of him whatsoever in the plot or even the actual gameplay; he just sort of appears. | |

Phlebotinum Breakdown | |
| Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game) / int_93ce6293 | comment |
Phlebotinum Breakdown: Demons need a steady supply of a metal called Magnetite in order to keep a physical body in the human world. Because of this, you lose some Magnetite every time you take a step and have a demon summoned. Once you run out of Magnetite, your demons will start losing health with every step instead. | |

Heel Realization | |
| Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game) / int_9591377d | comment |
Heel Realization: Neither the Law nor Chaos Hero realize that their ideologies might be flawed until right before you kill them— at which point the Law Hero realizes he's simply God's Unwitting Pawn instead of The Chosen One, and the Chaos Hero realizes that his quest for power was mostly pointless since you overpowered him regardless. | |

Saintly Church: Some of the Messians are actually pretty square guys. In 199X, they're just a hospitaller order that provides healing for your party (the Lawful nutcases being represented by the Americans) and in the Cathedral town, they provide food and safety for anyone who arrives, essentially no-questions-asked. (Outside of this, they tend to be jerkasses, of course.) | |

Route Boss: In the Law Route, the Final Boss is Asura, while in the Chaos Route the Final Boss is Archangel Michael. If you're going through the Neutral route, you have to fight both of them in any order you like. Earlier on, with the same criteria, you either fight the Chaos Hero, the Law Hero, or both. Superboss Beelzebub cannot be fought in the Chaos route because he joins you. | |

Infinity +1 Sword | |
| Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game) / int_a5e02e9e | comment |
Infinity +1 Sword: The weapons the Fiends drop. Pale Rider's Angel Trumpet is the absolute strongest weapon for a Law-aligned player, High Priest's Reaper Bell is the strongest for Chaos, and David's Stradivari is the strongest for Neutral. Unfortunately, they only have a 1/256 chance of dropping from foes that appear 1/256 of the time, for a grand total chance of 1/65536. Good luck. On the Demon side of things, Vishnu is generally considered by the community to be the best summonable ally in the game. In the one game in the series where demons only get three skills, all of Vishnu's manage to be top-tier in their utility— add on to that some amazing stats, and he can sweep all of the endgame bosses. Oh, and players on the Lawful path get to recruit him for free. The Chaos equivalent is Beelzebub, who only requires you to take a detour to Shiroganedai (and acts as a Superboss on Law and Neutral). While his skills aren't quite as good, he makes up for it by being much more durable. | |

You are asked to allocate stats in the Point Build System for every human party member at the very beginning of the game, before you have any idea of these characters' abilities or what the stats do exactly. You can easily gimp your characters by, for instance, putting points into Magic on a character who cannot use magic. | |

Evil vs. Evil: Neither the Law or Chaos sides are very nice. Aside from possibly the Hero, no servant of Chaos can be called good. Their entire philosophy is about winning freedom through power, and they spread death and anarchy wherever they go. Meanwhile, Law does have heroes and a certain nobility to their cause, and they're the only group even trying to protect those weaker than them, but its most powerful representatives are such zealots that they're responsible for multiple genocides. The Neutral option isn't much better, as it amounts to murdering everyone on both sides. | |

Everyone Has Standards: Even after Tokyo gets nuked and the whole world is overrun with demons, bartenders will refuse to sell you drinks because you're underage. Both of the Final Bosses will have something to say about you killing the respective hero that chooses to side with them— though while Michael ponders what could have driven you to go so far as to kill your former friend, Asura simply taunts you about it. If you choose the Lawful/Neutral path, Rie/Lilith will be furious when you kill the Chaos Hero. | |

No Campaign for the Wicked: While protagonist's Law-Chaos alignment can be changed, his virtue is fixed to Light. This does make some sense: Dark demons are portrayed as uncontrollable, as they can never be recruited. And Lawful/Chaotic is not a way of measuring morality; although they are both evil, the Hero is good. | |

Writing Around Trademarks: There's a late game dungeon called "Tokyo Destinyland" where one of the leaders of the Chaos faction makes her base. Also doubles as a Meaningful Name, as it features a minigame that can change your "destiny" (i.e., The Hero's alignment), and numerous traps that have a lower chance of activating if you have a high Luck Stat. There are Dummied Out sprites in the Super Famicom version of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck Expies wielding katanas and a chainsaw (they would eventually be added back into the PC-Engine port, although obviously with different sprites). | |

Monsters Everywhere: Exaggerated. You can be in a bar chatting with people, take a step, and be randomly attacked by a demon. And if you're in an area where you're not vulnerable to something like that, you're probably in even greater danger. | |

Dirty Cop | |
| Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game) / int_eb251937 | comment |
Dirty Cop: It is learned very early on that the police have aligned with the Demons, kidnapping innocents so a demon at the town hospital can experiment on them. | |

Dark Messiah | |
| Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game) / int_eba911fd | comment |
Dark Messiah: The Hero (in every path, including Law). The Chaos Hero isn't, incidentally. YHVH is the biggest example of this. | |

Disco Dan | |
| Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game) / int_ebe5d89c | comment |
Disco Dan: There's an undead enemy called a Bodyconian. Their design is a joke based off of a subculture that pretty much died around the mid-80s which were appropriately Disco patrons. | |

Worthless Currency | |

Worthless Currency: The yen you use in the first half of the game becomes worthless after the end, forcing you to acquire macca as the new currency. | |

One-Steve Limit | |
| Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game) / int_ee7a60e9 | comment |
One-Steve Limit: Averted. Both the heroine and the Law Hero's girlfriend share the same name. That's what gets the girlfriend kidnapped early on by soldiers looking for the heroine. | |

Arbitrary Headcount Limit | |
| Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game) / int_f3cf30d9 | comment |
Arbitrary Headcount Limit: Initially, you are limited to a maximum of three human party members and three demons on the front lines, for a total of six party members. After the Law Hero leaves you for good, you will never have anything other than two humans in your group, so Stephen appears shortly afterwards to upgrade your Demon Summoning Program so you can have four demons at once. | |
