Line 9:
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: This game is infamous for having [[Random Encounters]] everywhere, notably even inside a lively shopping center. ''[[Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey]]'', released 17 years later, features ''a shopping mall dungeon''.
* [[Player Punch]]: Not too long after the game begins, at one point, you come home and, naturally, visit your mom. What seems like typical mother-son banter takes a turn for the worse when {{spoiler|she starts coming off as extra-affectionate towards you. One of your allies warns that this is a sign of something weird. He's right: it's actually a demon in disguise. A demon that had just ''eaten your mother'', You then have to avenge your mother's death and whoop his ass}}.
* [[Seinfeld Is Unfunny]]: The game was truly revolutionary in its treatment of the post-apocalypse, demons, morality and the like... and ''everybody'' in Japan proceeded to rip them right the hell off, from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' to ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' to ''[[Soul Eater]]'' (the latter being a kind of [[Lighter and Softer]] [[Deconstructive Parody]], that's how far we've come). Seeing what made the original game so unique can be somewhat harder in this day and age. The gameplay also suffers from this in a huge way
** The Playstation version lessens the gameplay element of this a little, with interface improvements and graphical upgrades.
** The years have not been very kind to the game as well, the game's combat and leveling up are pretty bare bones compared to ''Nocturne'''s.
