I want to replay Soul Hackers but I can't decide if I should replay the Saturn version or give the PSX version a try.

>Saturn
I have a completed save on Saturn so I could try the Hard mode.

>PSX
No save so I can't do hard mode. I googled far and wide and the only save I could find was a hacked save up to the point where the Pocket Station stuff becomes available.
On the plus side the PSX version has the aforementionned Pocket Station breeding, which would help for the demon trading too. That and the casino and a couple of bonus cutscenes and apparently the layout of some of the bonus dungeons differ but these places are so small it hardly matters

On the down side after playing using that hacked save for a few mins... they really butchered the PSX port. Graphic and audio quality really took a nosedive. For the graphics I hate how they put dithering on everything, even on 2D stuff, and on top of the audio quality being worse there are lot's of audio issues, here is a good example

That and the loading times are insanely longer in the PSX version too.
Coming from the Saturn version the PSX version kinda feels like Soulless Hackers

3ds is the definitive edition, no need to be a weird hipster about it

Playing a bit more I swear to god some instruments are out of tune in the PSX version like the bells in the 'stand by' track at the start of a battle. Like what the fuck.
I wish I could post videos with sound on here.

The zoomer tier UI disqualifies it and god knows what kind of gameplay changes they did to casualize the game that nobody ever documented, I'm not taking the chance

You know what else is weird? PSX has smaller FOV in the dungeons.

In case you can't tell the PSX screenshot is the one with the darker hud elements and where you can see the seams between the textures more.

I'm also posting because I'm secretly hoping one of you guys has a completed save for the PSX version. If I could do hard mode that would sell me on that version.
