Sega didn't make this game though, and this was made way before Sega aquired Atlus. This released on the Super Famicom first (SNES in North America and Europe) and then was ported to the Sega CD. Plus this was never localized because both Nintendo and Sega were afraid of backlash from religious groups in the west. Both wanted to be edgy, sure, but they didn't want to touch on the subject of religion outside of Japan.
What the hell dude, this looks aesthetic as hell, I don't understand the words but the music with those pretty graphics and the classic soundtracks, it's just so freaking cool, idk, I just want more
Damn smt is one of the coolest games if you like the idea of gods from different ideologies/folklores/countries existing all at once. Glad to see another fan for smt in the making
It's nice to have this posted for posterity, this vesion is probably the most obscure. Never knew the staff roll was different to each route that is also nice to see
You can do some rough translations of some of those cutscenes based on the SNES translation patch. Here's some extremely rough translations: Law Flooded Tokyo: "In front of me was a Tokyo cleansed by God. The Millenium Kingdom that will offer endless happiness to the people is almost here." Law Ending: "Guided by a voice, we found ourselves at the top of the Great Cathedral. What was waiting for us there, was an alter prepared for God's descent, alongside his angels. His message was: *Do not worry about our Savior, for he is along side God, worshiping him in happiness and peace in the Millenium Kingdom.* . Although we did good on our battles, there were still many people that needed our guidance and only when those people are saved that He can finally descend upon us and the everlasting Millenium Kingdom can begin." Law Staff Roll voice: "However, living in a world bound by God, is that truly happiness? Was my choice really the right one? Chaos Flooded Tokyo: "What was in front of me could no longer be called Tokyo. So that something like this is never repeated, God's plan must be stopped." Chaos Ending: "Guided by a voice, I made my way to the top of the Great Cathedral. In what was supposed to be the alter for God's dedscent, that man, Luis Cypher, in his true from, the six winged greater angel Lucifer was waiting for us. He congratulates us in defeating Michael and putting a stop to God's plan. Thanks to us the gods of ancient times, banish to the abyss, were finally revived and that now a new golden age, where gods and humans lived together in harmony in an eternal cycle of destruction and rebirth, was at hand. Lucifer said that God was not gone, and that even if a discarded one, he (Lucifer) was a small part of Him. *Heed my words, son of Man* those were his last words, before he flew off in front of us." Chaos Staff Roll Voice: "Still, what does he (Lucifer) mean by him only being a small part of God? Was my choice really the right one? Neutral Flooded Tokyo: "What was in front of me was a flooded place that was once called the city of Tokyo. How many sinless bystanders will be killed for God's selfish plan." Neutral Ending: "We were guided by a voice to the top of the Great Cathedral. In the place that was supposed to the spot of God's descent, Taijorokun was welcoming us. He told us that neither God's Milennium Kingdom nor Lucifer's invisioned world were wrong and both had good sides to them, but its important to not persue neither of the extremer and rather trying to achieve balance. Many people lost their way and needed guidance but humanity's future must be decided by humanity's hand, not by gods or demons. Rokun asked me if I could feel it, the planet, the galaxy, the universe and in there I saw it, the thread to connected all, including myself. I could feel it *can't really understand this final part, sorry*, everything." Neutral Staff Roll Voice: "Many lives were lost, including all of their joys, sadness, hatred. But everyone will be reborn, just like she was. Destruction is over and a new time of creation begins." Again, really rough translations, so sorry about that.
@@spudsbuchlaw Not sure the content here, but SMT2 directly after this takes place in a city above Tokyo. Millennium sure has some similarities to Midgar.
@@pokehybridtrainer I know a surface level amount about the Millenium and so with that I can say...yeah probably But I dont exactly get why the neutral ending would be saying "Goodbye" exactly
Yeah, interestingly enough the iris of his eye is colored amber/yellow here (we've never seen his eye color in any other official art as well it seems), which is something we see in quite a few human-turned-demon/half demon characters in the series. Such as SMT 1's Chaos Hero, Infernal Tokyo Akira, Jimenez (Although his eyes are yellow regardless if he's transformed or not, so maybe he doesn't count). If we also want to get more inclusive with the warm eye colors meaning demonic powers or something, Satan's human form in SMT II and Hallelujah both have red colored eyes. Which could possibly be related to how they're related to/are law demons. Although the most interesting demonic character and why I bring this up for the most part entirely is because of the Demi-Fiend, who fits this description of demonic humans with yellow eyes as well. He's the most interesting case though since he's got the power of "Magatsuhi" within his veins. Magatsuhi is rather similar to Magnetite (hell it's generally part of the "Atlus renaming things between games to keep things separate for fans who want it that way!" trend anyways), and as we see in Apocalypse's Stephen bossfight DLC, Stephen's body is overflowing with Magnetite.
@@fiendtrumpeter7641 Yes, all the voiced cutscenes are being narrated by the protagonist who changes speech paterns depending on his allignement. When it's Law he refers to himself by "watashi", Chaos by "ore" and Neutral goes by "boku".
If Sega wanted to show that they were hardcore in the 90s this could have been a great game to localize.
Sega released Megadrive Mini 2 with SMT 1 (Sega CD) ofcourse only in Japan. What a wasted oportunity to translate game.

You know. This makes SMT 1 MC the first voiced SMT protagonist

This is the protagonists monologue?
Yeah fun fact him and Akihiko have the same japanese voice actor

The fact no one has translated this version is why I cry at night 😂

Fuck. The Game Over scene feels brutal, like you're allowed to give up life and rest easy.

I think you did good on the translations😇 actually the neutral one
Gotta love the blatant neutral bias in the staff roll voices lol.
This is such a cool and unique version of SMT1, thanks for sharing all these :)

Great video. Thanks for uploading.
Atlus put so much effort into this version only for people to forget it even existed
Because Sega CD was a failure console
the weird irony is SEGA could pull a boss move with Atlus and make this the official PC port to NA/EU if they wanted to
Seriously bro I learned about this version yesterday and now I want a fan translation it looks so cool
First animation is just like the intro theme in SMT IV !!
Very interesting thanks for sharing.
メロディ的にロウが一番いいエンディング感あるなあ
やっぱ絵がよすぎるんよね
一枚絵やデモシーン、GBA版と融合したら完全版作れるんじゃ
For Chaos!

No it’s not smt 1 take place in early 90s or whatever and the ruins take place in 2020s
