It’s talking about the original games, so that’s why it’s called “Megami Tensei” and not “Shin Megami Tensei” which is the “new” mainline, which is why when you’re talking about the franchise as a whole, you call it the MegaTen. So “Shin” got added to the name, not dropped.

Absolutely loved the game and even had the version with Dante in it so when I saw him, it became my all-time favorite game.
