Shin Megami Tensei IV Gets Stunning Fan-Made HD Texture Pack For 3DS

Several Shin Megami Tensei fans have united their efforts to release an ambitious HD texture pack for the 3DS turn-based JRPG, Shin Megami Tensei IV, aptly titled Shin Megami Tensei IV HD.

This pack is a complete visual overhaul of the title, featuring hand-drawn assets that match the original game’s visual style. Minimal AI upscaling is used only when redrawing is impractical, with select background elements as a prime example.

Specific incorporations include an HD version of the font from the original game, 187 hand-redrawn UI elements, 208 hand-redrawn character portraits, 914 demon menu-negotiation portraits boasting authentic HD assets or scans, and 269 backgrounds with genuine HD assets or upscaling. However, cutscenes have not been upscaled.

Led by Aspen, who also worked on redrawing the user interface as well as handling the demon and character portraits, the following individuals are credited for their contributions:
