Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey OST - Scepter of Justice

[Dyne]

As a misanthrope, I wonder if deep down this is what I've always wanted... Going the law route...

[lastoflancas]

Anyone who listened to this try this:

At almost end of the song (2:16-ish), begin playing "The Poem for Everyone's Souls" on the suggestions or any of your choosing. If you post reply for reactions for this experiment, that would be awesome :D

i liked all the endings, i think they fitted well to the extremes of what law, chaos, and neutral really represent, not necessarily good and evil, but true order, and true freedom. the law ending i think left no hope for humanity, but then again, neither did the chaos ending, after all, you can only rise as far as your strength, and lets face it, being human in a world full of "gods" isn't really going to guarantee you survival. and of course neutral just us doing what we always do. lol

[MisterCrim]

@secondwizard117 While I agree, most humans wouldn't last long in a world ruled by the "laws" of Chaos, there would be those like Jiminez and the Hero who would find a way to gain more power and rise above their human frailty.

[MissBlaufeuer]

@Xodion413 I think the chaos ending was actually the most optimistic ending. Humans can no longer destroy the planet, but they are still free in some way. Law is a terrible ending, but I think Neutral really isn't better because humans can go on with destroying the planet and everything.

But I guess I'm the only one who sees things that way xD

[shinreiyhvh]

@MissBlaufeuer Sure, but will they? Whatever answer you think that question'll have shape your choice pretty decisively. I think that after a near apocalypse -- and no amount of whitewashing on the part of the media'll prevent the higher-ups from changing things, nevermind that demons appeared in small numbers outside of the Schwarzwelt -- things would start to change.

But yeah we can both agree Law is terrible.

[conan263]

@shinreiyhvh not really, cause you're happy with it after being brainwashed

[shinreiyhvh]

@conan263 Except "you" don't really exist when everything about you's been stripped away and your lips are pressed against God's ass for the rest of eternity. You've got nothing at all, you're the same as everyone else -- you don't have an identity, and that's pretty central to actually existing in a sense we can comprehend. So sure, your lifeless husk is happy, but "you" are not.

[conan263]

@shinreiyhvh I think it's just the matter of point of view. Because you speak from a 3rd-person, not 1 under Law influence

[Xodion413]

This is just my personal opinion, of course, but I feel like this really should be the ending tune for the Neutral route only. The song has a feeling of optimism that the Law and Chaos endings just don't have.

[MissBlaufeuer]

It's the ending song for all endings, actually.

I think it's really, really beautiful. It actually made me tear up! Strange Journey is a great, great game.

[Mustadio]

@MissBlaufeuer Indeed, it kinda makes me think this could be what everyone hears after dying and your soul starts to rise into the sky as you are reminded of most things in your life, you can't help but feel nostalgia somehow.

[RealParadoxBlues]

There is no thrill quite like defeating the final boss, making your way to the end, and seeing that simple set of words:

"MISSION COMPLETE"

[kanstyle]

I think this is the neutral credits theme.

[OchaKai]

This is what I get for going Law on the first playthrough...

[Crooxander]

this is the path of law?

[GrndCruz]

*sigh* ...What a Strange Journey it has been. Now, It's all over...

[HannibalZeGreat]

I almost shed a tear when I heard this song, seeing the Earth covered in blue kinda sent a chill down my spine. Awesome game, defiantly one of my all time favorites =)

[LWAKARAPEROSOLITARIO]

its a beautiful song to end a great game

i cant wait to play it a listen to this great music
