** Immediately after obtaining the COMP, the player can run into a school-uniform wearing Jack Frost, and recruit him for free. Said Jack Frost will likely be your strongest fighter up until the World of Gluttony.
** If the player fulfills certain requirements in [[spoiler:Akira's]] route, it's possible to recruit Sebek[[labelnote:How]]Partner has 12 strength and intelligence, the player tries to persuade Sebek, then agrees to a fight, if requirements are met, Sebek will join without a fight[[/labelnote]], Hathor[[labelnote:How]]The player talks to her on a New Moon[[/labelnote]] and Thoth[[labelnote:How]]The player has recruited both Sebek and Hathor, and has them summoned, then tries to persuade Thoth when he appears[[/labelnote]]. These three are ''way'' more powerful than anything the player can have for a really long while (the player is likely to recruit them around level 15-16, Sebek is level 25, Hathor is level 38, and Thoth is level ''43'').

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: [[spoiler:Akira's]] path, unlike the other possible path options, is only consisting of one huge tower instead of being segmented into worlds like the other paths that the game give to you.

''Shin Megami Tensei: if...'' was the third GaidenGame to be spun off from the ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' franchise (the first being ''Majin Tensei'', and the second being ''VideoGame/LastBible'', which came to America as ''Revelations: The Demon Slayer''). The title refers to two things: first is the concept of the game, which is a WhatIf scenario in the SMT universe, namely "what if a school was suddenly thrown into the Demon Realm?" The title and logo are also references to the arthouse British film ''Film/{{If}}'', where the developers seem to have gotten the school concept from (although all similarities really stop there, with one possible [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer exception]]). Sadly, this game was [[NoExportForYou never released outside of Japan]], but Aeon Genesis released [[https://aeongenesis.net/projects/smtif a fan translation]] on October 25th, 2018.

If this sounds [[Franchise/{{Persona}} just a bit familiar]], it should; many of the concepts introduced in ''if...'' would eventually be expanded upon in the original ''VideoGame/{{Persona|1}}'', and the formerly anonymous main character of ''if...'' even became a character in the early ''Persona'' games, putting ''Persona'' in the same continuity as ''if...'' and the ''Devil Summoner'' games (which detail what would have happened if people knew about demons ''before'' a certain event in SMT 1, thanks to the events of ''if...''). In other words, what started as one GaidenGame ended up dovetailing into a huge AlternateContinuity that has ''eclipsed'' the original ''Shin Megami Tensei'' games in popularity.
