I love Shin Megami Tensei the series and the titular game. I've gone to bat for it many times on these here forums. What I cannot support is it's map.


SMTI is a first person dungeon crawler, most of the difficulty comes from having to explore around the dungeons. The fights and bosses are mostly easy as hell. Now this wouldn't be a problem except two things. One you have to cast a spell to get a minimap, a spell you don't always have access to. Two it takes two menus deep to get into the map. Three, this is the big one, the goddamn map rotates with your character position. So if you face north everything is as it should be, but turn west, poo poo now everything is hosed up. On a goddamn grid why you would do this is beyond me.


This is two floors of a dungeon, there are 14 floors in total. Now imagine trying to navigate 14 floors of that bullshit with a bullshit map constantly spinning around.
