Last year I made a thread to talk about my first playthrough of the Mass Effect games, and people seemed to like it. The first thread hit 500 posts, and the second thread hit somewhere around 200 - 300. I had a lot of fun making it, and I thought I'd try it again for Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne.

The spoiler policy is this: you can say unmarked spoilers up to the point where I'm playing - I tend to make multiple posts per play session, so it should be clear where I'm up to. If there's something coming up just down the road from where I left my last post, feel free to talk about it with spoiler tags. I want this to be a fun thread for SMT fans to chat and reminisce, but it's also a thread for a newbie to experience the game for the first time - so please be courteous with your spoilers.

My only history with the series is with Persona 3. I can already feel a few design similarities, but I'm well aware that the Persona and mainline SMT games have wildly different settings and design choices between them - so this is essentially my first dip into the "hard" SMT games. I'm playing the PS2 port on PS3, and it kind of sucks, but I do enjoy the character designs so far and the music seems alright.

I really like the aesthetic of early 2000's Atlus characters. The weird, greyed out eyes and alien-esque heads really give their games a cool flair. The characters remind me of Maken Shao: Demon Sword, an Atlus title I had when I was a kid.

I went ahead and named my character Mr. Mallard. The characters so far have been calling me Mr., so maybe that was a bad idea? I also set my nickname as Mallard. I'm currently in the basement of the hospital at the start of the game, looking for Ms... Takeo? You know, the arbiter of the world ending or w/e in the prologue. I don't know what's going on.
