Kichijoji (Shin Megami Tensei): Difference between revisions

|location=[[Tokyo (199X)|Tokyo]]

'''Kichijoji''' is a location in {{Link|Game|SMT1}}. It is the [[Hero (Shin Megami Tensei)|Hero]]'s home neighborhood and where the game initially begins.

Kichijoji is a section of the [[Tokyo (199X)|Tokyo]] overworld in 199X. Due to a wide-scale police investigation, Kichijoji is barricaded from the rest of Tokyo. Kichijoji houses several places of interest within, including the Shopping Arcade, a local Hospital, and the Echo Building—the latter two serve as dungeons and are initially inaccessible at the beginning of the game.

The '''Neighbor's House''' is where the neighboring [[Doctor Next Door|doctor]] and his [[Law Hero's Girlfriend|daughter]] live, immediately next door to the Hero's house. After the events at the Hospital, the daughter disappears and her father asks the Hero to find her, explaining that she had left for Shinjuku and has not been seen since.

In his sleep, the [[Hero (Shin Megami Tensei)|Hero]] has a strange dream where entities introduce him to the [[Law Hero]] and [[Chaos Hero]]. He also meets [[Yuriko]] in his dream, a woman claiming to be his eternal partner. Woken up by his [[Hero's Mother|mother]]'s nagging, the Hero checks his computer's email and receives the [[Demon Summoning Program]] from a sender named [[Stephen]], claiming that [[Tokyo (199X)|Tokyo]] is about to be overrun by [[Demon]]s. That same morning, Kichijoji is placed on lockdown following the murder of a high school girl at Inogashira Park, resulting in the entire neighborhood being completely barricaded off from the rest of Tokyo. While visiting the [[Shopping Arcade]] on an errand for his mother, the Hero hears rumors of a man brandishing a knife behind the Shopping Arcade's drug store, implied to be the murderer. When he goes to investigate, the man is revealed to actually be a [[Preta]] in disguise, who attacks the Hero before escaping.
