Le chef d'œuvre de Atlus.

Je n'ai pas peur de le dire, c'est le meilleur de Atlus et je ne pense pas qu'ils arriveront à faire de nouveau un tel jeu, une ambiance, une atmosphère, un Tokyo si sombre et obscure .

Sans réel surprise j'ai adoré le jeu, il est dans mon top 5 all time et je pense qu'il ne changera pas de place d'aussi tôt.
Malgré le fait que le jeu soit vraiment difficile et que le jeu, dans son ensemble, paraît très "cryptique", cela fait tout son charme et me donne (bizarrement) envie de relancer le jeu et de découvrir une autre fin, découvrir les fusions possibles etc.. etc..

Je le conseil pas vraiment ce jeu, hormis aux habitués du style. Mais si vous avez tout de même le courage d'essayer, foncez !

Nocturne is such an immersive experience, I always feel a strong sense of isolation and danger at every moment and like I'm really fending for myself in that treacherous ruined world. It has my favorite turn based combat system of all time, which has so many possibilties that it makes every other JRPG I play feel slightly disappointing. With the way buffs work there's rarely ever a need to truly grind, if you bring a good strategy you can win, at least when doing the normal endings. There are countless memorable and epic boss battles with easily the most consistent lineup in the Megatens I've played. Everything about the game from aesthetics to concepts to soundtrack is just so metal and brutal and raw. Even when it's really putting me through my paces or beating me down again and again, I'm never too frustrated for long because another idea occurs to me and something awesome happens again. I first completed it on the remaster on TDE, and it probably goes without saying that this PS2 version has better moodier lighting. This run I skipped the Amala Labyrinth entirely and felt the vanilla content had a much better flow and variety to it, but TDE has some of the best boss fights and extreme difficulty too so it's worth trying it once. I just adore this game :)

played the remaster, reviewing the original, sue me

i originally wrote a lengthy screed here but i really wasnt satisfied with it. anyways, something about this game really clicked with me. the kind of vague storytelling and the way the themes are presented worked a lot for me personally, and theres a lot of subtle moments of humanity (for a game with very few human characters) that are really great.

extra off the cuff points: the magatama system is really fun and give the player a lot of room to experiment, the art style and presentation still holds up great, the soundtracks fantastic (less so on the botched HD remaster which compresses it way too much)... its just a great and unique game

edit: something i forgot to mention which is my favorite part of the game is how it NAILS the tone. its so dour that it straight up feels like a horror game at points
