==Gameplay Changes==
The ''HD Remaster'' runs at a maximum resolution and framerate of 1080p and 30 FPS respectively, exclusively in 16:9 aspect ratio. Pre-rendered cutscenes are still in 480p and 4:3 ratio, with the blank space being filled by a blurred version of the cutscene.
 
Gameplay and cutscenes now feature voice acting in Japanese and English. The audio language can be swapped at any time or turned off.
 
A new Merciful difficulty was added as free DLC. This difficulty option was added to accommodate players who want to enjoy the story of ''Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne'' but don't enjoy the difficulty of the game.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote= |translquote= |author= |url= [https://www.frontlinejp.net/2020/07/30/shin-megami-tensei-iii-nocturne-hd-remaster-director-interview/ Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster: Director Interview]|archive= |published=August 13 2020 |retrieved= June 13, 2024|site= |type= }}</ref> Compared to Normal, Merciful makes the following gameplay changes:
* Enemy damage decreases by 0.5x.
* Player damage increases by 2x.
* Exp earned after battles increases by 3x.
* Macca earned after battles increases by 5x.
* Escape chance is 100%.
* Player hit and evasion rate greatly increases.
* Enemy encounter rate is lower.
 
Players can freely switch between difficulties during the game. 
 
Players can suspend their session, allowing them to quit the game and resume their progress later without needing to save at a Terminal. The suspend save file is deleted after loading.
 
The number of save files was increased from 5 to 20.   
 
Dante's skill, [[Son's Oath]], now grants the [[Pierce]] effect, fixing the gameplay discrepancy between Dante and Raidou.
 
An update released on December 23, 2020, added the option to select skills during fusion. Additionally, the update simplified the skill rerolling process to being a single button press. 
 
The French and German localizations have entirely been redone in order to be more accurate to the Japanese script. The ''HD Remaster'' also features brand new Italian and Spanish translations.
 
Numerous demon names in the English localization have been changed from the PlayStation 2 release:

==Downloadable Content==
''HD Remaster'' received multiple sets of downloadable content upon its launch. The content differs slightly between versions of the game; the Steam version has both the "Chronicle Pack" and "Maniax Pack", which respectively add [[Raidou Kuzunoha XIV]] or [[Dante]] along with the [[Labyrinth of Amala]] and [[Fiend]] boss battles, as this version is based on the original release of ''Nocturne'' without the aforementioned additions. The Switch and PlayStation 4 versions are both based on the ''Chronicle Edition'' and so just have the "Maniax Pack" available. All versions of ''HD Remaster'' also received additional downloadable content packs that add brand new content to the game.

==Trivia==
*The Korean and Traditional Chinese releases of ''HD Remaster'' were baed on the original version of the game, rather than the ''Chronicle'' editions, in order to avoid historic sensitivity involving [[Raidou Kuzunoha the XIV]]. As a result of this, the only way for Korean or Chinese players to access the ''Chronicle'' content was to purchase the ''Maniax'' DLC featuring [[Dante]].
**Due to backlash from Chinese players for this decision, Sega released the ''Chronicle'' DLC for the Traditional Chinese version of the game, making the DLC free for a limited time. This courtesy was not given to Korea, however.

Gameplay Changes

The HD Remaster runs at a maximum resolution and framerate of 1080p and 30 FPS respectively, exclusively in 16:9 aspect ratio. Pre-rendered cutscenes are still in 480p and 4:3 ratio, with the blank space being filled by a blurred version of the cutscene.

Gameplay and cutscenes now feature voice acting in Japanese and English. The audio language can be swapped at any time or turned off.

A new Merciful difficulty was added as free DLC. This difficulty option was added to accommodate players who want to enjoy the story of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne but don't enjoy the difficulty of the game.[1] Compared to Normal, Merciful makes the following gameplay changes:

  • Enemy damage decreases by 0.5x.
  • Player damage increases by 2x.
  • Exp earned after battles increases by 3x.
  • Macca earned after battles increases by 5x.
  • Escape chance is 100%.
  • Player hit and evasion rate greatly increases.
  • Enemy encounter rate is lower.

Players can freely switch between difficulties during the game.

Players can suspend their session, allowing them to quit the game and resume their progress later without needing to save at a Terminal. The suspend save file is deleted after loading.

The number of save files was increased from 5 to 20.

Dante's skill, Son's Oath, now grants the Pierce effect, fixing the gameplay discrepancy between Dante and Raidou.

An update released on December 23, 2020, added the option to select skills during fusion. Additionally, the update simplified the skill rerolling process to being a single button press.

The French and German localizations have entirely been redone in order to be more accurate to the Japanese script. The HD Remaster also features brand new Italian and Spanish translations.

Numerous demon names in the English localization have been changed from the PlayStation 2 release:

Trivia

  • The Korean and Traditional Chinese releases of HD Remaster were baed on the original version of the game, rather than the Chronicle editions, in order to avoid historic sensitivity involving Raidou Kuzunoha the XIV. As a result of this, the only way for Korean or Chinese players to access the Chronicle content was to purchase the Maniax DLC featuring Dante.
    • Due to backlash from Chinese players for this decision, Sega released the Chronicle DLC for the Traditional Chinese version of the game, making the DLC free for a limited time. This courtesy was not given to Korea, however.
