The Music of Video Games [187] Shin Megami Tensei

[omnicrap]

SMT I and II are great, probably my favorite music of SNES RPGs too.

[tresonic]

8 bit reggae FTW

[XxVicistxX]

I believe im going to have to play this game, it looks amazing

[Chernobog2]

Thumbs up if you want SMT 1, 2, if..., and Kyūyaku Megami Tensei to be released on the virtual console

[capefeather]

@Chernobog2 A couple of the SMT games showed up as titles for the 3DS in E3 2010. Remakes!?!?

[MysticArksRevenge]

@Chernobog2 To heck with that! I want them ported to the DS and the PSP!

[TalesOfGod]

Well that is very interesting and very unique. What a wierd game.

[TheAbsintheReviewNet]

Why is this in ENGLISH?

[feighnt]

the game was given an unofficial fan translation patch a good bunch of years ago by the Aeon Genesis rom translation group. sames goes for SMT2.

[b4nt4z0t0r]

I belive it's an unofficial translation.

[DarkAvatar1313]

@TheAbsintheReviewNet

Notice the title screen, it has the ppl who translated the rom on it

[Camwi]

Wow, that soundtrack is just beautiful. There's a good mix between harder songs and softer, more emotional songs.

[leonci001]

Many of these songs were outstandingly remixed for SMT: Nocturne, my second favourite RPG after Persona 4 that is.

[feighnt]

el elohim eloho elohim sebaoth

elion eiech adier eiech adonai

jah sadai tetragrammaton sadai

agios o theos ischrios athanatos

agla amen

(hope my memory was correct...)

[FCKundo]

what is that...XD???

sorry for my ignorance

[feighnt]

it's the little DOS chant/prayer/whatever they show in the opening cinema of the game. believe they're all just alternate names for God (except for amen, of course).

[superkeijikun]

I really dig the battle them that kicks in at 1:33. Someone arrange that shit! :D

[DrabesBeDrabes]

6:31 sounds like it's gonna bust right into Don't Let It End by Styx.

[cjiwakura]

One of the early dungeon BGMs in this game was remixed for SMT Imagine(used in Suginami Tunnels there), but it sounds best here.

[kuwaizair]

bah they never did make a real english SMT huh?

[Gainrrom]

I'd count SMT: Nocturne on the PS2 as a real English SMT game.

[Cyril86]

Yeah because it's officially Shin Megami Tensei 3.

[escabasket153]

I thought the SNES game was terrible

[CarboneraCarlos]

are you kidding me?!? the snes games were awesome! Compelling surreal storyline and gameplay that was both unique in it's time not to mention a very old school RPG feel to it. Another thing I liked about the Shin Megami Tensei games( The SNES ones especially) was that every song in it I liked a lot( I could not choose a favorite song over any of them because I liked every BGM that played in Shin Megami Tensei 1 and 2).

[kuwaizair]

i'm trying to play the snes but i don't have a walkthough and i think i need it. that dog like, dissaper one me.

[escabasket153]

Sorry I just really didn't like the game on the SNES. It wasn't my thing, there were far better RPGs during that time, and this was really far behind on it. Although I will give it props storyline wise, that was unique and you wouldn't get the same results, but I think later consoles really polished up the SMT series. So the SNES games were just terrible to me in my opinion.

[Maximusmadrica]

This comment upsets me, big time.

[squarepox]

Well, that's fine. But the soundtrack really was special.

[Cephei00]

The soundtrack was undoubtedly special. In my opinion, it was probably one of the most unique at the time (when compared to other RPG soundtracks of course). I love the music that plays 24 second in.

[FinalGamerJames]

That's a weird looking game there.  But interesting.

[dapithapon]

Fantastic on art and story but horrid levelling times

[meirus]

This game had pretty good credit music for an old snes game like this.

[Filter81]

This is the best game i've ever played
