i was afraid of pointing that out due to weird tos rules

You're not posting a link or anything. Should be fine.

I wouldn't put it past the mods tho.

Any who, nice.

I said "should"

true but i still remeber when people were sprading the news of final fantasy type 0 translation and getting modded for it
and then there was valkyrie chornacles 3 too

Fuck yes! I've been waiting for this forever!

I only ever played the Playstation version of If..., but you can definitely feel the proto-Persona aspect. It is very similar to Persona 1 in a lot of ways.

And the author is never doing another SMT or Persona game again because the fan base is full of selfish children who dont realize that translating these games sometimes requires a great deal of hacking ton of break things.

while i agree there is still the issue of fan translators drama where he claimed too many games under his wings and refused to share the work load with other people
notice how we got this after another translator said he was working on SMT IF

ooooo I've been curious about this game for a long time. Any idea why it was never translated sooner? Like the other Super Famicom SMT games were translated long ago and the series itself has gotten fairly popular in the meantime, so it seems an oddity. Technical difficulties, or something of the sort.

Also, from the person who made the patch ... yikes. Sounds like he's had it rough.

Its been a long road, but today AGTP releases a complete translation for Shin Megami Tensei if... on the Super Nintendo/Super Famicom. For me personally this journey has encompassed a second undergraduate degree, a cross-country move, a complete career change, multiple periods of both employment and unemployment, the licensure of one of our translation patches, and the beginnings of a family, in addition to having to deal with several project-related IRC and Discord raids, hate speech, and generalized harassment from the SMT community at large. Its done, and I will maintain the patch should anyone find any bugs or typos. But thats it.

I do this for the enjoyment of the process, to challenge myself to produce work of ever-higher caliber. if... hits a high enough bar at this point that Im satisfied releasing it. I hope everyone whos been clamoring for the patch gets some enjoyment out of it; Ill let the game speak for itself.

With Majin Tensei 2 being mostly done elsewhere, dont expect any further Megami Tensei work out of AGTP. No updated patch for SMT1, no back-porting of if...s work into SMT2, no Majin Tensei 1. Im done. To those who were looking forward to the aforementioned, I truly apologize. Maybe focus on cleaning up your community.

And now, Im going on vacation.

Apparently Reiko is the best route to start with cuz it has the most backstory in it >_>

hahah so was i
girding is a pain in this game but the random encounter is annoying as per older SMT games so that helps
but the best and worst part i find is the death mechanic of this game
my magic skill depends of RNG
why just why atlus

Yeah, that's so weird. You literally have to kill yourself after getting enough exp to upgrade your guardian.

Like wut
