Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey/Heartwarming


  • In the Neutral path, you will believe that an Artificial Intelligence will make you cry.
  • The crew of the Red Sprite welcoming back Commander Gore when he returns as an enlightened Ubergestalt to give them hope for the future.
  • This troper may not have teared up over the battle with Awake Jimenez in the Neutral path, but Arthur's dialogue after it shows that even AIs can have a soul:

"This is Arthur speaking. I have verified your victory over Jimenez. [Player], I understand the pain of having to eliminate a former comrade. I will not tell you to forget it. So long as you continue to live alongside humans capable of sin, it cannot be avoided. But I am partially responsible for leading you down this path. Like you, I am an entity that bears sin. The only way to atone... is to succeed at our task. [Player], continue your mission."

  • The game does something if you go Neutral that really makes you feel like it was a good choice. In other Shin Megami Tensei games, hardly anyone cheered you on if you decided both the Law and Chaos sides were crazy. In this game, every human on your team will not only cheer you on, but as you go deeper and deeper in the boss dungeon, you get so many slaps on the back and encouragement to put your foot up the ass of the final boss that it's impossible not to feel like humanity's survival is worth your efforts.
