Shin Megami Tensei: if... (??????if..., Shin Megami Tensei: if...?) is a Japanese console role-playing game for the Super Famicom. It is a side story to the Shin Megami Tensei series, rather than a direct sequel. The use of a high school setting and lack of cyberpunk elements makes the game a predecessor to the Persona series. The if... is a reference to the 1968 film if....[citation needed] directed by Lindsay Anderson, a satire of English public schools. [source:wikipedia]
