Definetly looking forward to it. Got Souls Hackers on 3DS while eshop still up to check that out too.

So like do you need to play Soul Hackers to understand this one or is it standalone? I've played almost everything SMT related with the exception of SH.

[Yu Ominae]

Definetely can't say, but I'm not surprised if SH2 has references. All I know is that Phantom Society's still around since the first Devil Summoner game.

The visual design and the artistic direction is a disaster.
Same for the characters, among Miwa's worst.

Hopefully the plot and world design can live up to its predecessor. Soul Hacker 1 is VERY ahead of its time when it was first released on Saturn. I'll be outraged if the second game end up as a Persona wannabe.

*looks at visuals*
*also sees this is not on the Switch*

*confusion*

Okay, so first, I thought the original Hackers game was on a Nintendo console, so it was weird this wasn't. But then I see the visuals, and it looks like this very funky... Carigula-ish... Tales-ish... funky thing, and I was like, well, I'm probably remembering this wrong and it wasn't on a Nintendo console. Never saw something this weird-looking before.

And then I searched "Soul Hackers", and now I'm just raising my eyebrow.
But it's not on a Nintendo console anyways, so I don't really care either way.

Soul Hacker 1 was back on Sega Saturn for those who has the same question as above.
