''Strange Journey'' is a "side-story" in the ''Shin Megami Tensei'' series,<ref group="note">The specific word used in Japanese is "gaiden" (外伝), which can also translate to "spin-off."</ref> but is still officially considered to be part of the mainline series as it shared the same developmental staff.<ref>{{Cite Book|jpquote=『真SJ』は『真if』と同じように「シリーズ外伝」と区分けされていますが、 例えば低年齢層向けに作られた『真・女神転生デビルチルドレン』ほど離れた世界観ではありません。 悪魔と人間の関係性などを見ていけば、《ペルソナ》 シリーズの各作品と比べても明らかに本編に近い世界観の下制作されていることがわかります。 外伝とはいってもナンバリング作と共通するスタッフによって作られているのだからそれも当然と言えますが、 『真SJ』は表面的な違いが目立って見えたとしても、実際に遊んでみれば本流に含まれる作品と変わらないことが感覚的にわかることから「シリーズ25周年」の歴史に含まれる作品と位置づけられています。|translquote=Although 'Shin SJ' is classified as a 'Gaiden,' like 'Shin if,' it is not as far removed from the world as, for example, 'Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Children,' which was created for a younger audience. The relationship between demons and humans is clearly more similar to that of the main series than the other works in the 'Persona' series. Although 'Shin SJ' is a gaiden, it was created by the same staff as the numbered series, so it is not surprising that it is a gaiden. It is therefore positioned as a work included in the history of the '25th anniversary' of the series.|chapter=|book=MegaTen Maniacs|author=Nobuyuki Shioda|publisher=Atlus|lang=|volume=|edition=|page=p. 122|isbn=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Book|quote=|des=A chart showing all ''Megami Tensei'' franchise games released as of 2017, divided by series.
