About Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster
The setting and events of Nocturne take place in a separate continuity to the rest of the Megami Tensei series.Nocturne is set in modern-day Tokyo before and after an event called the Conception, in which the normal world is destroyed through the actions of a cult to prevent the world’s stagnation and ultimate demise, as dictated by the Great Will governing existence.
Tokyo is transformed into a wasteland on the inside of a sphere inhabited by the spirits of humans who died in the Conception; demons who wage war with each other; and Reasons, deity-like beings formed from the gathering of Magatsuhi by people with a deity or demon sponsor.
Those who possess Reasons seek to remake the world in their image by presenting themselves to Kagutsuchi, a semi-sentient manifestation of the Great Will’s power which exists to perpetuate the destruction and rebirth of worlds through Conception, and proving their worth.[Quote 1] Another realm mentioned in the story is the Shadow Vortex, a limbo where dead worlds and the beings who created them linger.
The nameless main Protagonist is the player character: generally dubbed the Demi-fiend, he is an “everyday man” who represents the player. Several other characters survive the opening events of the game alongside him, many of them representing the various routes the player can choose to take.
They are Yuko Takao, his teacher and a key figure in future events; his classmates Chiaki Hayasaka and Isamu Nitta; and Hikawa, leader of the Cult of Gaea and later the Assembly of Nihilo. Other characters include Jyoji Hijiri, a journalist the Protagonist meets with prior to the Conception; and Futomimi, a powerful Manikin seeking to create his own Reason. All the game’s events are watched over by Lucifer, ruler of the demons and the Great Will’s sworn enemy, who takes on multiple forms during the story.
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster is due out for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on October 29 in Japan, and in spring 2021 worldwide.
