Megami Tensei is the original series (the one before Shin Megami Tensei), while megaten is fanname for the whole franchise and covers everything: Megami Tensei, Persona, Majin Tensei, Devil Children, Devil Summoner, Last Bible, etc. Not quite the same thing.

Fans generally use Megami Tensei when referring to the original series, and megaten when talking about the entire franchise. Though I suppose we could modify the tag group so that Megami Tensei covers everything, since it's sometimes used in that way. In that case, this alias is okay.

I'm okay with either megami_tensei or megaten being the target tag. But the franchise as a whole is officially named Megami Tensei.

Yeah, maybe it'd be better this way; we don't generally use fan terms anyway, and I don't think we need a separate tag for the first series.

The wiki will need some updating, but I'll get around to fixing that once this is aliased (...if nobody else has, by then).
