The fourth entry in the main ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' series. It was released for the Xbox in Japan in December 2002.
Taking place during the brief period that the Protagonist of ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiI'' is in another world, ''Shin Megami Tensei NINE'' focuses on the survivors of the apocalyptic war of 199X as they attempt to rebuild society. The first project is a digital world meant to recreate Tokyo before it was destroyed by ICBMs: Idea Space.
However, Idea Space experiences glitches known as "Noise" that manifest as demonic entities. Because of the way the Idea Space works, damage inflicted inside will also afflict the user in the real world, so the Noise must be eliminated as a matter of public safety. The Central Administration Bureau has assembled a team of warriors, known as "Debuggers" to fight the Noise.
One day, the protagonist is visiting Idea Space's recreation of Shibuya when a Legion attacks. A mysterious woman appears and saves Kei Azuma from the Legion, and introduces herself as a Debugger... Kei then becomes a glitch hunter, tracking down and destroying Noise.
'''Main characters:'''
* Kei Azuma: The protagonist whose name and gender the player selects. The protagonist has a younger sister, named Emi, and they live together in slums with their mother Mieko.
* Baraki and Sumire: Depending on the Hero's gender, their roles will be swapped. If the player is male, Baraki will be the friend he grew up with and Sumire will be a young girl and Emi's classmate.
* Mubiora and Miranda: Debuggers working for the Central Administration Bureau in Idea Space.
* Ferris: Secretary General of the Central Administration Bureau, who controls Idea Space.
* Tsuzumi: Chief of the Central Administration Bureau in charge of coordinating and deploying the Debuggers.
* Shiki: A mysterious man in black. He seems to be guiding the Hero to something, but his goals are unknown.
* Seri: A debugger from the Central Administration Bureau who is the same gender as the protagonist.
* Naitou: A preacher who seeks to revive the Ring of Gaea.
* Maria: An artificial goddess who rules over the Idea Space.

* GodInHumanForm:
