Shin Megami Tensei IV: A Chorus Retrospective | made with ngram

About the video

This video was created by ngram to walk through the three major story paths of Shin Megami Tensei IV in a retrospective format, using HTML/CSS motion graphics in a 16:9 aspect ratio. It opens with a title card before moving through the Law route, framing the hero of Mikado and the moment the reactor swallows Tokyo, then shifts to the Chaos path, depicting Merkabah shattering and posing the question of rising to rule. The video continues into the Neutral route, showing the firmament cracking open, Masakado rising, and the goddess returning, before tying the three paths together under the theme of one choice determining three endings. It closes with an end card summarizing the retrospective. Throughout, the video uses stylized motion graphic scenes and title-driven pacing to guide viewers through each narrative branch of the game, giving fans and newcomers a concise overview of the Law, Chaos, and Neutral storylines and the pivotal choice that separates them. The structure emphasizes key story beats and thematic turning points rather than gameplay mechanics, delivering a narrative-focused recap suitable for sharing with audiences interested in the game's lore and branching storyline design.
