Shin Megami Tensei II English translation

What's translated

Aeon Genesis released version 1.00 of its Shin Megami Tensei II patch on May 13, 2004. The group calls it very much complete, with one or two minor known issues described in the readme. Story scenes, demon negotiations, fusion menus and status screens are all in English.

The game

Decades after the first game, the Messian faith has built the enclosed city of Tokyo Millennium on the ruins. An amnesiac man rescued by a retired arena fighter trains to fight in the arena, and soon finds himself at the centre of the struggle between Law and Chaos. Compared with the first game it adds an automap on a button, deeper demon talks, sword fusions, fusion accidents and inherited skills for fused demons.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge (without a header), following the readme. A separate small patch is included in case your game starts boosting you straight to level 99. Get it from the project page on the Aeon Genesis site linked below.
