** ''Devil Survivor'' takes it [[Up to Eleven]] by adding the -dyne suffix. As if Megidolaon wasn't bad enough, {{spoiler|[[Bonus Boss]] Lucifer}} can drop Megidoladyne on the ''entire map''. And did I mention that it gets 50% more powerful with each hit?

*** Then others like ''Strange Journey'' throws fuel on the fire by planting new spells in that are of the same type. Thought Megidolaon was awesome? Add in Big Bang which is even more powerful by a good 200 points. Then we have Babylon Goblet which has a chance to charm. Good luck recovering from that. And god forbid you get the eponymous JIHAD because not only is it one of the strongest spells in the game, but it also LOWERS THEIR STATS TOO. But to be fair while you have those, you can bet your opponent has even better shit than you.

* [[That One Boss]]: [["Wake-Up Call" Boss|Matador]] and Mot in ''Nocturne'', the golden metal trio in ''[[Persona 2]]'', Intrepid Knight in ''[[Persona 3]]'', anyone in ''Digital Devil Saga'' with the second boss theme and probably a few more. Of course, if you don't use all of the options that are available to you like ailment inducing ammo, buff and debuff skills, buff and debuff cancelling skill, healing skills, elemental and ailments immunity to at least some of the bosses attacks, then expect lot of bosses to suddenly turn into [[Nintendo Hard]] [[That One Boss]]. You know what, let's just tell you we have [[That One Boss/Atlus|ThatOneBoss/Atlus]] (where ''Shin Megami Tensei'' makes up most of the article) and leave it at that.

* [[Uncanny Valley]]: Part of the series' aesthetic. While it remains distinctly [[Manga]], the characters tend to share the same grayish skin color and nearly all share the distinctive eye design.

** This was noticeably absent in ''[[Devil Survivor]]'' and the later installments of the ''Persona'' series, both of which used a more manga, cartoony style, that severely contrasted with all the [[Nightmare Fuel]] of the game.

* [[Visual Effects of Awesome]]: Some of the designs for demons are truly awesome (which is why they can be downright [[Nightmare Fuel|terrifying]]). For example, [http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Beelzebub Beelzebub].
