 |gameinfo          = Set in postapocalyptic Tokyo, Japan, Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne takes you to a world where nearly the entire population is annihilated by a worldwide catastrophe called the Conception. Now the fate of the entire world lies on the shoulders of one boy, who must battle his way through opposing demonic forces, master the powers of Magatama, and persuade demons to join your party. Some demons may evolve into new forms on their own or can be fused into more powerful monsters.<br />
 Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne is a continuation of the popular role-playing series, set in our modern world. It's an average day, as a typical Japanese high school student goes to the hospital, for a visit with his sick teacher. While on the train, he gets a mysterious vision that the Apocalypse is coming. Arriving at the hospital, the boy is sucked into a Vortex Field, into a dark mirror-image of his world. When he learns our world is ending to make room for this new one, he'll do what he can to get back home and (hopefully) stop the Apocalypse.

 <!-- IssueLevel is issue severity level -1,0,1 or 2 (note, minor, serious and major accordingly)-->
 ==Known Issues==
 {{Issue
-|IssueName=Glitchy character shadows
+|IssueName=Inaccurate effects
 |IsFixed=0
 |IssueLevel=0
-|Description=Characters shadows are either glitched or missing.
+|Description=Some minor effects are not properly emulated (The most notable being the "white effect" during the opening with the woman's voice).
-|Workaround=Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, and set Renderer to "OpenGL (Hardware)". Or switch to Software Mode by setting Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options. Alternatively for Direct 3D9 and 11 (Hardware), go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, set CRC Hack Level to "None", turn on "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks and enable the "Alpha" hack. This, however, will make NPCs, some objects and shadows visible through walls.
+|Workaround=Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, set Renderer to "OpenGL (Hardware)" and set Blending Unit Accuracy to at least "High".

 {{Issue
-|IssueName=Inaccurate effects during the opening
+|IssueName=Flickering pool in save room
 |IsFixed=0
 |IssueLevel=0
-|Description=During the opening with the woman's voice the white effect is not emulated properly.
+|Description=The pool of water underneath the maiden in the Fountains of Life flickers.
-|Workaround=Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, set Renderer to "OpenGL (Hardware)" and set Blending Unit Accuracy to at least "High".
+|Workaround=On Stable Builds(1.6) and Below: Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings. First change your renderer to OpenGL (Hardware), and then uncheck Allow 8-Bit Textures. Make sure Enable HW Hacks is checked, then click Advanced Settings and Hacks--change Trilinear Filtering to Trilinear (Ultra/Slow).
+On Dev Builds(1.7): Go to Settings > Graphics > Rendering, set Mipmapping to "Basic(Generated Mipmaps)" and Trilinear Filtering to "Trilinear(Forced)".

 |IsFixed=0
 |IssueLevel=0
-|Description=The game looks like a blur filter was applied.
+|Description=In Hardware mode when using upscaling resolution some objects have blur around them.
-|Workaround=Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, set Renderer to "OpenGL (Hardware)".
+|Workaround=Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, enable Hardware hacks and choose '''disable depth emulation'''
+Note: this will cause to "Shadows overlapping" even if you set set '''Renderer''' to "'''OpenGL (Hardware)'''"

+==Non-Issues==
+{{Issue
+|IssueName=Game Blurry
+|IsFixed=0
+|IssueLevel=-1
+|Description=The game looks like a blur filter was applied. This is a multi-leveled issue, but is resolvable. The game itself uses post-process effects which accumulate 3 frames worth of information on screen, which is quite visually messy. On top of this, improper de-interlacing can cause every other frame to be a ghost of the two adjacent ones.
+|Workaround=To fix deinterlacing go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, and set Interlacing (F5) to 'Bob tff'. The post-process blur can be completely removed by apply the following patch:
