Little back story:
So me and my sister had been looking everywhere for this game. It's so rare now a days that you're lucky if your local gamestop has a copy.
I went to three different gamestops before finding it. Thankfully one of the workers told me what store had one. I called them up the next day and it's ours.
Now, anyone who has played this game can easily tell you how difficult it is. Well, I have a philosophy of playing games on the hardest difficulty. So... difficult game + HARD mode = lots of dying. I. Love. This. Game. So. Much!
Sure, I've died countless times, and sure, repeating things is a pain in the gut but that only helps me appreciate this amazing game more. It's something all Shin Megami Tensei games have going for them. They are fun and exciting but no walk in the park. Some bosses can be super tough if you aren't properly prepared. Nocturne does this perfectly (at least from what I've seen so far.) If I run into an enemy that's too tough and I'm not ready, I will die and be sent to my last save point, wherever that is and it sucks believe me.
Another thing I love about this, and all SMT games really, is the soundtrack. Boy does this game have awesome music. Random encounters are even awesomer because with a song like this;

how can you not get the urge to punch that demon in the face. Did I mention how fun it is beating down on a demon that you know you can't possibly loose against? It feels so good. Now, getting beat down by a horde of demons that are stronger than you is not fun. Those random encounters make me cry ; ;
