It's not happening, the game barely runs on Xbox One/PS4Pretty sure Soul Hackers 2 sold much less than Persona 5 Strikers sales on Switch alone. Strikers, not Royal.
Which makes me think, we could get a SH2 announcement for Switch any moment now, they need to make some money off of it.
Lack of optimization. We had countless of Switch ports of games that performed worse on X1/PS4. A good port studio can do wonders. (I hope they hire Engine or QLOC).It's not happening, the game barely runs on Xbox One/PS4
Soul Hackers 2 is not worth the effort (and I actually liked Soul Hackers 2)
Let's be honest, Switch owners will eat it up. Nothing can stop this SMT hype train, Soul Hackers 2 will benefit greatly from current popularity of the genre.why would switch owners get persona at home when the actual persona is right there
ha no. unless it's a bespoke version that fixes all the problems it's gonna be a mid game dropping in a console with like a thousand great jrpgsLet's be honest, Switch owners will eat it up. Nothing can stop this SMT hype train, Soul Hackers 2 will benefit greatly from current popularity of the genre.
Beside P3P-4G, Soul Hackers 2 could be Atlus's only Switch release next year. I'd want ports of recent Vanillaware titles but I'm not sure how possible they are.
This was my opinion after seeing a lot of post release reviews and impressions. Next year has some great rpgs and sadly at best SH2 is gonna be a late 60$ port that barely makes a dent in the ecosystem.ha no. unless it's a bespoke version that fixes all the problems it's gonna be a mid game dropping in a console with like a thousand great jrpgs
Nah, I think the stronger than expected success of Atlus games the last few years (almost all of them Persona and spin-offs, one mainline SMT) has inflated people's perception of their IP and games. Good Megaten games were niche cult underground hits back in the day; that's the best SH2 could haver hoped for if it had been good at being a good Megaten title, but it doesn't even do that convincing a job at that. It has its merits, it's not a bad game, but there's a reason it didn't become a WoM hit on other platforms (at least two of which are great JRPG audiences, if nothing else) - it is simply not very good. Being on Switch will not magically fix the bulk of its problems, which are to do with design decisions more than anything else.Let's be honest, Switch owners will eat it up.

They're not skipping Switch after January next year. They've got to release something. And I'm talking about Sega as a whole, not just Atlus. Late ports are the safest bets and the most recent they can do is Soul Hackers 2.Nah, I think the stronger than expected success of Atlus games the last few years (almost all of them Persona and spin-offs, one mainline SMT) has inflated people's perception of their IP and games.

As of right now, Atlus has no project announced for any platform beyond January 2023. We can speculate on RE:Fantasy and EO Next eventually existing, but that's about it.They're not skipping Switch after January next year. They've got to release something.

As for its potential sales... I totally expect third party support for Switch to wane down a little around summer next year (especially if Drake is a no show), they can find a release window to release the game without getting threatened by another JRPG. Switch owners are always hungry for new and modern JRPG's, if they managed to put Ninokuni 2 into eShop top 10, they can do the same for SH2.
If they have anything for Switch for the first half of the year, we should hear about it very soon. They announced 13 Sentinels at the end of November and Persona Arena Ultimax in December last year.As of right now, Atlus has no project announced for any platform beyond January 2023.

Whatever their next major announcement is, I think it will include Switch. If they had an SH2 port for the Switch in the works before the other versions released, I am sure it will happen (sunk costs and everything). However, if not, then I don't see it.
NNK2 was also a bigger and better received hit than SH2 on its initial launch, don't forget that either.
Since I am playing with japanese va, this trailer made me realize that no matter the language Morgana is still annoying lol. Not Teddy levels but still. Given that SH2 and even SMT5 (kinda, way better) had mascots I hope P6 has a more level headed one.
I've just finished the first Palace, but so far the main thing I'm finding annoying about Morgana is how much of a creep he is towards Ann, he's fine otherwiseI never found Morgana to be too bad, I actually rather like him overall. He has his moments of being annoying, but nothing major IMO. Nothing remotely close to Teddie. He's probably the best JRPG mascot character that I can think of (at least of the ones that actually talk).
Remember when I wouldn’t shut up about it and kept bugging you to play itHey everyone.
This game is really good.
Honestly, I would have liked it on Ps4, and then put it away abruptly after maybe 5 hours. Same thing happened with Dragon Quest 11.Remember when I wouldn’t shut up about it and kept bugging you to play it
There’s a few annoying things with him, but nothing too major IMO. The Ann creepiness never bothered me much because it felt… entirely unrealistic, I guess? He’s a cat, after all. Still, Ann does get used for random sexualization too often, no argument there. Maybe I’m just mentally comparing Morgana to Teddie, and compared to what Teddie becomes later on Morgana just isn’t even in the same zip code, much less ballpark.I've just finished the first Palace, but so far the main thing I'm finding annoying about Morgana is how much of a creep he is towards Ann, he's fine otherwise
Oh for sure he's not the only part of the game that's creepy towards Ann. My only real complaint about the game so far is that its treatment of women in general is quite poor, which is quite ironic given that the game also (rightfully) condemns Kamoshida's treatment of womenThere’s a few annoying things with him, but nothing too major IMO.

It shouldn't be that hard to port the Vanillaware games that Atlus published since all of them besides 13 Sentinels ran on the Vita. There is also GrimGrimoire OnceMore coming to the Switch next year.Let's be honest, Switch owners will eat it up.

Hmm…. not sure it’s the BEST in the entire game but it’s way up there. I’d have to make a list of my favorites. ”Savage” with NPC Mishima is another great oneMade it to 5/16 and thus the best dialogue option in the game:
"Time to button mash."
Honestly there's a lot of good ones. That one is definitely up there. Actually, there was one on 5/13 that I love too: "Tell me more about these snacks..."Hmm…. not sure it’s the BEST in the entire game but it’s way up there.

I love how sassy, silly, and playful you can make Joker from his responses. Even as a silent protag and even if they have no effect on anything, it really gives him so much personalityHonestly there's a lot of good ones. That one is definitely up there.

Ann as a character is a mess for this reason for the entire game. A case of the developers trying to have their cake and eat it too. It frames Kamoshida's (and other adults) behaviour towards Ann as problematic because of power dynamics (teacher and adult) not because of the acts themselves and lets the non-adult characters be just as creepy without comment. The treatment Ann gets by men even factors into her Confidant storyline heavily, and yet the party members who indulge in this behaviour are never examined for it. Sometimes it works, and sometimes they even subvert it in a funny wayOh for sure he's not the only part of the game that's creepy towards Ann.

Ann intentionally wearing loads of clothes to Yusuke's house in order to avoid posing nude is a genuinely great gag
but most of the time the writers just let the boys be creepy about Ann.
I thought you didn't get the XP, but I may be mixing up my SMTs.Should you always try and talk Personas into joining you? I don't really see a downside to not doing so, as you still get the XP, right?
If you already have them, then no. If you need em for fusion, then sure.Should you always try and talk Personas into joining you? I don't really see a downside to not doing so, as you still get the XP, right?
Does "already have them" include "had them in the past but fused them for new stuff"? Like the fairies I keep running into. I already had one, fused it, should I get another?If you already have them, then no. If you need em for fusion, then sure.
Most of the times it's not worth it, especially since you can buy them again from the Compendium.Does "already have them" include "had them in the past but fused them for new stuff"? Like the fairies I keep running into. I already had one, fused it, should I get another?
Tou can buy them later…Does "already have them" include "had them in the past but fused them for new stuff"? Like the fairies I keep running into. I already had one, fused it, should I get another?
That is correct. Pro-tip; level them up for a bit so they will learn all the attacks/abillities (which mostly happens within five levels of growth) and register them afterwards.Stupid question, you have to convince Demons to join you to register them right? Then I can just discard them and summon them if I need them for a fusion?
Press Minus and you can get the right answers. You need to be connected to the internet for this however.okay why they gotta hit me with questions about japanese history. do i look like a japanese history buff
yeah i dont bother connecting since i suspend the game constantlyPress Minus and you can get the right answers. You need to be connected to the internet for this however.

I rather liked all the Japanese history questions and such, added to the feeling of a Japanese high school. And gave me a chance to learn some things I didn’t know, either. I don’t see how that’s poor localization.Localization done pooly, that's why.
