this really isn´t a good place to start if you want to get into shin megami tensei. the gameplay is good however you can tell it´s really aged a lot. plus i felt the inclusion of law and chaos reps in the party were annoying because you would spend money for their equipment, then they´d leave you (sometimes even permanently depending on what route you chose). however the story´s still gripping and intruiging. i feel this needs a remake to truly show it´s good points more clearly.
