Shin Megami Tense III: Nocturne, the modern masterpiece that every western fan still sings great praises of to this day. While I think it is slightly too deified, it's not without great reason. The atmosphere is perfect, the gameplay thoroughly fun and engaging unlike past SMT titles, and the art direction is impeccable. I think the story is alright, though it could be brought up to the players face more often rather than having npcs stitch it together. The characters are also pretty underwhelming. If you can stomach a lack of modern QOL, high encounter rate, and fair challenge (on normal at least), Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne is one of the greatest rpgs on PS2 and a favorite for many fans.
