![]() RELATED: Soul Hackers 2 Should Have Been a Switch Title While this means social sim elements will require significantly more work to navigate, it would open up a lot of interesting mechanical differences that set Soul Hackers 2 apart from Persona. ![]() Players might find themselves choosing a ton of different dialogue options during each social sim interaction, rather than only picking three or four dialogue choices like in Persona. Because Ringo clearly has a lot of dialogue during the Soul Hackers 2 narrative, it stands to reason that she'll speak up during any social sim elements. Soul Hackers 2, on the other hand, has a named protagonist with a lot of dialogue: Ringo. Overall, though, these silent protagonists say little no matter who they're talking to. When interacting with Confidants and Social Links, these choices do matter, since saying the right thing will expedite the rate at which the protagonist and the NPC bond. Whether it's part of the central plot or a Social Link interaction, the protagonist generally sits and listens until there's something minor that they can contribute that changes the conversation's direction. Persona protagonists are generally silent, which results in them having very limited impact on all kinds of cutscenes.

However, the premise of Soul Hackers 2 implies that its social sim elements will look very different from Persona's Social Links and Confidants. Soul Hackers 2 will reportedly include something similar the protagonist Ringo can spend time with her fellow devil summoner to improve her relationships with them. ![]() ![]() In the Persona games, spending time with friends and strengthening bonds is a key way of making the protagonist more powerful. As a Megami Tensei offshoot, Soul Hackers 2 will likely share a lot of design elements with the demon-centric Shin Megami Tensei series, but Atlus has confirmed that there are some notable Persona mechanics in the new game, incluiding social sim elements. Not only has Persona 5 greatly expanded interest in the Persona series, but Shin Megami Tensei 5 and Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne HD Remaster have brought more fans to Atlus' core Shin Megami Tenseiline of games. Now that interest in Atlus RPGs has been heightened so much, Soul Hackers 2 seems like a great move, even if it's a somewhat surprising one. ![]()
