Last Bible III

Last Bible III (ラストバイブルIII) is a Japan-only RPG from Atlus. This game is part of the Megami Tensei Gaiden, a gaiden series of the Megami Tensei series. Unlike the first two Last Bible games, this one was only released once, and for a non-portable system.

Story
The game opens with a man, Alek, wandering around in a snowy wasteland, convinced of his death. He eventually finds an entrance to the Demon World and collapses. As he collapses, he remembers his friend, Glenn, and the news of a child.

This child is the main character, a blue haired boy named Ciel (Shieru). He begins his adventure by leaving his hometown and gets caught up in a large RPG story. Ciel must fulfill an ancient prophecy and defeat a great evil, with the help of his friends and recruited monsters.

Setting
Like in most Megami Tensei Gaiden games, Last Bible III takes place in a medieval, fantasy world instead of a modern Japanese one, which is in most Megami Tensei games.

Gameplay
Last Bible III features basic RPG elements (leveling up, items, turn-based battles). Like in the other two Last Bibles, the player can recruit monsters. However, this game takes a step further and allows the player to customize monsters. Monsters can be equipped with items and level up just like human characters. A new feature during battle is a gauge that tells the player how close a monster is to being recruited. Recruitment of monsters requires correct answers of a few questions.
