NeoRHDN - Translations - Translation Information

Shin Megami Tensei II
Super Nintendo
Game Description

Translation Description
Improvements to the Aeon Genesis Shin Megami Tensei 2 fan translation. Apply that patch first.

Updates terms to those used in official localizations where possible, fixes the text truncation error when displaying demon races in the status screen, fixes the text glitch in Analyze Spell entries, adds more space for skill text in the status screen, and compresses item names to fit within the 10-character limit enforced by most menus. Additionally, demon names untranslated in official localizations are translated: "Jirae" to "Dwarf", "Yoma" to "Mystic", and "Jaki" to "Wicked". (The "Flight" race is also changed to "Bird", because I recognize the Council has made a decision, but given that it's a stupid-ass decision, I've elected to ignore it.)

Also recolors decreased stats in equipment previews to a bright red to make them easier to see.

Version 1.09 should replace all hardcoded instances of "Yousei" and "Maou" in dialogue, but this is untested. As "Dwarves" would take up too much space, "Chirei" is changed to "Jirae" for consistency with later localizations.

For a full list of changes, see the GitHub page.

Alternate Races

Included in the zip file is a second "alt" patch that changes demon race names to original translations I consider more accurate and descriptive. To compromise with the 6-character limit on race names imposed by the fusion menu, abbreviated names are used in menus, but dialogue messages still display the full names. See the GitHub page for more details.
