She tells him that her name is Yuko Takao.
When the young man comes to his senses, he realizes that he is in the subway, on the way to Yoyogi Park, where he intends to meet his classmates and visit their sick teacher, Yuko Takao, in a hospital.
Yoyogi Park appears to be off limits: recent riots have already claimed several victims, and Hikawa, the top executive of Cybers Communication, is missing.
The student heads to the hospital and meets his classmates; however, the hospital is overrun by demons shortly afterwards.
After having fought his way to the roof, the studentwitnesses the Conception - a colossal destruction of the city, which destroys the world as we know it.
Only the hero, two of his classmates, and a few other humans have survived.
The rest of the world is populated by demons, and the hero is transformed into a demon himself.
He must communicate with the demonic inhabitants of this horrifying realm, find out what happened to his classmates, and ultimately shape the future of the world.
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne is the third installment in the main series of the Megami Tensei universe.
The game retains many traditional elements of the series.
Like in the previous entries, the player navigates a character over a large map of a post-apocalyptic city, accessing and exploring complex, maze-like dungeons, which are viewed from a third-person perspective in this installment.
Enemy encounters are random, and combat is turn-based.
Demon conversation and fusion features from the previous games have been preserved, and function similarly.
The player may opt for engaging in a dialogue with demons during the battle, selecting responses and recruiting the demon into the party if it is pleased by them.
Demons can be then fused in specific locations to create more powerful ones.

About PlayStation 2
The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.
Gamevaro tracks Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS2 release dates back to 2003.
