Alignment (role-playing Games) - Shin Megami Tensei Series

Shin Megami Tensei Series

Shin Megami Tensei, Shin Megami Tensei II, Shin Megami Tensei: NINE and Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine and the spin off of the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona, Catherine uses a system where the player's alignments may shift towards Law, Neutral or Chaos. A player's alignment affects demon use in the game. Demons are creatures in the world of MegaTen that the players battle or befriend. These demons are based on mythological creatures or deities from different regions and religions. A player's alignment also affects what quests they may take or the amount of money needed to pay for certain quests or items. In Catherine, it will alter the ending received.

Players may shift toward any alignment by answering certain questions on the storyline quests called acts or by donating money to the alignments' respective Churches: the Messaian Church (Law) or the Gaian Church (Chaos).
