I thought I was done writing about 
Shin Megami Tensei IV, but I 
suppose one is never done when it involves a game this good. Just yesterday, I 
found myself in the mood to take a break from 
DmC Devil May Cry and 
A Link Between Worlds, and decided to return to 
Shin Megami Tensei 
IV instead.
The last time I was playing 
Shin Megami Tensei IV, I stopped because 
the final portion of the game requires you to complete number of sidequests in 
order to proceed any further. One of these quests required that you find a 
certain kind of demon in Shinjuku... five of them, actually. The catch was that 
in order for any of them to show up on your map, you’d need to come across the 
first one so that your Navigation AI, Burroughs, could identify it and then 
track down the rest.
Needless to see, as with any quest of this sort, I spent a couple of hours 
wandering around Shinjuku without anything to show for it, and eventually, put 
the game down and moved on. I’d played through most of 
Shin Megami Tensei 
IV without a FAQ, and I didn’t really want to start using one now. I 
figured I’d take a break and come back to it later.
Last night, when I resumed my game, I was reminded that there was also 
another reason I didn’t keep playing 
SMTIV—it was because I didn’t want the game to end.
