#shin megami tensei if

@gomugomucactus asked me how to start Akira’s route since there’s barely any info out there on this game. I was originally going to reply in an Ask, but it would be too big and then I realized why not just a post about all routes?

Yumi Route

• At the start of the game, just say yes to her invitation. If you refuse her, you can still start her route by going to classroom 2-D on 2F and accepting her offer.

Charlie Route

• Refuse Yumi’s invitation.
• Go to classroom 2-E on 3F and talk to Charlie. If you refuse him you can still re-enter the room to prompt the invitation again.

Reiko Route

• Refuse Yumi’s invitation.
• Go to classroom 2-H on 3F and speak to Professor Yahata.
• Go to classroom 2-E on the same floor and say no to Charlie.
• Go to the storage room on 1F and meet with Ryuichi and Akiko to get weapons.
• Go to the many clubrooms on 1F to get armor.
• Go to the nurse’s office on 1F and speak to Nurse Kayama.
• Go to the music room on 1F and talk to Reiko. Exit and enter again, she’ll offer to join you. If you refuse her you can still re-enter the room to prompt the invitation again.

Akira Route

• You must have save data of any route just before fighting the final boss. For Yumi and Reiko’s routes, save data after unlocking the upper floors of the school will suffice. For Charlie’s route, save data after defeating Otsuki’s final form will suffice.
• Refuse Yumi’s invitation.
• Go to the storage room on 1F and meet with Ryuichi and Akiko to get weapons.
• Go to the many clubrooms on 1F to get armor.
• Talk to one of the members of the student committee on 2F (they’re the guys at the end of the hallways who say you don’t have permission to pass). One of them will mention Akira.
• Meet with Akira on the west end of 1F. If he offers an invitation, accept it. Unlike Yumi/Reiko/Charlie, Akira won’t offer to join you a second time.
