Nocturne

SMT: Nocturne
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne (also known as just Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne in the US and Shin Megami Tensei III: Lucifer's Call in Europe) is the third installment in the Shin Megami Tensei series and the first game in the series to be released on the PS2. It differs from its predecessors, as it uses a 3rd person viewpoint as opposed to a 1st person viewpoint used in previous installment. The game also features fully 3D environments, save for the world map, and a new battle system known as the Press Turn system.

The game's original release was in 2002, in 2004 the game got a director's cut re-release, titled Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Maniax, which added Dante from the Devil May Cry series as a recruitable and playable character. This release was also the first release of the game in the US. A new version of Maniax was released in 2008, called the Chronicle Edition, that replaced Dante with Raidou Kuzunoha from Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon. This page (when updated) will address data on the regular Maniax version, as this was the version used for the US and EU releases of the game.
