Shin Megami Tensei: if... English translation
真・女神転生if...
Aeon Genesis's complete English translation of Shin Megami Tensei: if..., the Super Famicom spin-off where a whole high school is dragged into a demon realm.
What it is
A full English translation of Shin Megami Tensei: if... for the Super Famicom, released by Aeon Genesis in October 2018 as version 1.00 after several years of on-and-off work on the project.
The game
Instead of the large-scale conflicts of the main Shin Megami Tensei games, if... tells a smaller, character-driven story set in a single school. A classmate's pact with a demon sends the building into the Abyss, a set of worlds themed after the seven deadly sins. Early on you choose one of several partners, and that choice shapes the dialogue and events you see. When characters fall, they gain new Guardian spirits that change their stats and spells, an idea that later grew into the Persona series.
What's translated
Dialogue, battle messages, menus, demon and item names and the status screens are in English, so the demon negotiation and the story can be followed without Japanese.
