We often spend our time in video games attempting to save a world on the brink of apocalypse, but SMT3 starts the adventure with the apocalypse. This is why a game like Shin Megami Tensei 3 Nocturne HD Remaster *inhales* makes such an impact. JRPGs, in my head, are adorable and lighthearted affairs where even the act of killing god is candy-coated and sweet. When I think about the genre, my head is filled with thoughts of trekking through Pokemon routes whilst humming the familiar tunes, the bombastic horns that blare as you cross the gorgeous green fields of Dragon Quest 11, and the cute, slightly awkward conversations your party has across the Tales series of games.
I am far too used to playing uplifting JRPGs.
