    What a great PR manager...

    "I like our dubs. They put in a lot of time and work, and because I think they're good, that's all you're getting. I don't care if you don't prefer them, and would instead like the original audio. Fuck you."

    Bonus Points: "dual audio is something we evaluate for every game." - I can't even think of three titles from their large, vast library of localizations that have dual-audio.

    Why the hell do people get so worked up on if a game doesn't contain Japanese voices?

    Everyone seemed to love "big bro" enough. You got me. (though I do like them included, especially in a game like Persona where the honorificis are still generally utilized.)

    I miss Aram Jabbari.

    Maybe I'm just biased since I think most JP voices just sound the same or "nails on chalkboard" annoying like Teddie's JP voice (at least I think that's who I'm thinking of).

    Though on the other hand, I did get tired of Adachi's voices in P4 just because I've heard JYB so much that a different voice would be nice.

    Some people prefer the original game audio, or dislike the English dub, or have been biased slightly by watching lots of subtitled anime; it's honestly just preference. If you don't like the Japanese voices (or just don't care) then that's perfectly fine; the thing I was more pointing out was the PR's "well, too fucking bad" type of attitude.

    I'm all for hearing everything in its original audio because 90% of the time that's going to be the version that had the most blood and sweat put into it. And people should probably have that option. But Atlus is one of the few localize-y people that I don't mind giving a "suck it up" response because their dubbing is almost always A+.

    English VA work has gotten like 200% better than it was even when Persona 3 was out. At this point it's similar to movies or feature length animations, they rarely hire or use like...the directors family.



    Especially for AAA games, and Persona, like Kingdom Hearts or Metal Gear Solid is definitely workable if not better in English. So that guy saying that he isn't playing this game because it isn't in Japanese is a fucking retard and it's hilarious. For some people, the only life is JP life.

    Oh absolutely. I planned to get the game regardless, even though I do greatly prefer the original Japanese audio. I will say, even if it's gotten better, hearing people speaking English and then saying Japanese honorifics at the ends of names (which Persona is known for, and I would absolutely not be surprised if it continued in Persona 5) is really fucking cringe.

    Yeah that's pretty cringe worthy, but it's not like it's done out of context or place. Pretty much you can tell how good a VA is by how much you cringe when they use honourifics. Like war flashbacks to Fuuka saying anyone's name.

    My friend and I had a discussion about this the other night, actually.

    We talked about in P4, how we actually prefer the English voices for most of the character.. discussion points were (for anyone that cares; otherwise just ignore)

    Rise/Teddie - Cringeworthy in Japanese; better in English
    Adachi - His Japanese voice wasn't bad, but made it pretty damn obvious the guy had a screw loose; something about JYB as him made the plot-twist a bit more 'whoa'.
    Chie - Original version, sounded way too old in English.

    And Jesus.. Chaos Wars. I can't believe I actually finished that game.

    Chie is a wildcard, I like her in P4 but not in P4G

    I feel like they went from one extreme to another with Chie. Like Ayn said she sounded way too English, and for my preferences, quiet. In P4G they kinda threw that out and made her an obnoxiously loud Tomboy, which I guess helped make her rage moments at Yosuke better.

    Briefly bringing the discussion back to honorifics: I noticed while I was doing some of P4D's story earlier today that it's kinda redundant if they say shit like "Yu-kun, Naoto-kun, Rise-chan" and then two sentences later they're like "Mr. Inoue" or "Ms. Ochimizu." If you want to "keep that Japanese-y culture/feel" then don't mix and match Western and Eastern titles; keep it consistent or it just gets awkward. (It's still cringe though, regardless.)

    Also, Nanako best dancer.

    That's a horrible bump and you should feel bad
