In Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey
In the beginning of
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, Orias is responsible for the death of Commander
Gore. Immediately following that event, the player must fight Orias as the game's first
boss fight. He also appears later on the lower floors of sector Delphinus in random encounters.
Trivia
Orias plays a role in a bit of technical Strange Journey trivia.
Atlus implemented copy-protection in the game that would prevent illegal copies from generating any random battles. Besides not being able to gain any experience, more importantly this prevents the player from being able to recruit any other demons into his/her party. The idea then, is that Orias' boss fight would be an insurmountable roadblock and prevent the player from advancing in the game.
