Truly, am I at a complete loss of words. I will need to ruminate over this game before I can make a full review. Everything about it is so perfect. I admittedly have a handheld bias, as I far prefer to play games on a bigger screen, so the fact that this game has become my favorite of all time should say a lot of its quality. Everything is handled so masterfully. The designs, the dungeons, the gameplay, the world, the lore, the NPCs, the quests, the story, the characters, the dialogue, the themes, the alignments, the music, everything is so perfect. This captures the essence of Megami Tensei so flawlessly.

There is no greater feeling when your favorite game of all time is surpassed.
