"Shin Megami Tensei II" is one of the notable early exceptions to the series' common setting, as it is set in a science fiction-styled future despite still including fantasy elements. The "Last Bible" series also shifted to a full fantasy setting. Two more recent notable departures were "Strange Journey", which shifted the focus to Antarctica to portray the threat on a global scale, and "Shin Megami Tensei IV", which included a medieval-stage society existing separately from a modern-day Tokyo. The "Devil Summoner" games take the form of modern-day detective stories as opposed to post-apocalyptic settings.
