Persona 5 English Cast Revealed

I'm sure the rest of your highschool anime club is jealous of your high class and rigorous standards.
There should be dual audio and it sucks that we're not getting it, but you don't need to sound like a pretentious ass while complaining about it.

Robbie Daymond seems like the new JYB, Yuri Lowenthal, or Bryce Papenbrook.
I just started wondering how they would properly adapt that without having to redo a couple scenes, but it still stands that they have to rewrite it, and then the japanese voices would not fit with the read dialogue anymore, and think about (minor story spoilers, but you should still avoid reading it if you want to stay in the dark)I really don't think that's a major reason at most sounds like the kind of challenge localization loves. Pretty sure it mostly comes down to cost/contracts being a pain.
that before the trip to hawaii and during their trip there was the anne story arc revolving around her being able to speak english and making "friends" because of that, as well as later in a palace, the english player would have japanese voices on, then at the pool they would hear japanese the entire time while reading in english, and then anne would speak french or something but you would really loudly in completely broken english hear "My name is anne windsor". ^^ that scene made me laugh so hard when I played it on my second slow time through ^^
The best timeline.

The original VA sounded really good from what I heard. IN regards to the other Persona games it's hit or miss w/ most of the characters then after a while you just end up getting used to them after hearing them for so long.

I think Morgana sounded good. Jury'so out on the rest though. Ryuuji, if that was him, could be better.
Looked up Erika Harlacher... really hope she's not bringing her Ayesha voice for Ann. It was probably just the voice direction, but she was pretty high-pitched in that.
Oh, now I see that Xanthe Huynh voiced Meruru, the whiniest Atelier protagonist of them all... Cassandra Morris voiced Totori, and Max Mittelman voiced Logy. It's an Atelier reunion, y'all! lol
I do like that most of them seem pretty new though, and I haven't been let down by a Persona dub yet so I'm sure I'll be fine with it.

Well, I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again, every thread. But I guess that's my problem.

Yeah I played P4G in English and then I've played some of it in JPN and I have to say the english dub was good. nanako almost sounded like her JP voice actor but in English. It felt natural.
but this so far idk.. Ryuuji sounds like some eager nickelodeon kid show actor delivering his lines. He sounds too young. Morgana=Rise. it throws me off. In the japanese game, Morgana just has this cute and silly but contrasted with more adult speaking words. it just sounds perfect. Idk.
oh, so I'm pretentious because I don't want the americanized version of almost every damn japanese game that gets released over here? nobody would accept this situation if this was a movie or an anime series, but since it's games I'm pretentious for wanting something that isn't awful.
She was the VA for English Kyoko in Danganronpa and I think she did a great job there.

As someone who fan subbed anime for years... A lot of people considered that attitude pretentious there too

Check out some interviews with Erika on Youtube. If she uses something pretty similar to her speaking voice, she's pretty much perfect for Ann, IMO.
The persona 4 voice cast was also not "fresh" but not well known back when it was released, and many of those voice actors made a huge career since then, so I'm interested in seeing how these guys do and adapt to their roles, yet I also have to say that matt mercer is a perfect fit for yusuke in my opinion, so it will probably end up being great if they picked the remaining cast as fittingly as this one. But I do hope that the english version has more voiced lines, as the japanese version misses voices in a lot of important scenes.

Doesn't look final to me at all, but we'll see.

100% with you on this and it's refreshing to read this oddly unpopular opinion. Frankly, I'd go one step further, as I have grievances with Americanisation in ATLUS' 'localised' scripts.
It would be weird to give us dual audio when the script won't match at all, so it's unsurprising that we're not getting it.
You're saying that localization removes the artistic integrity (somehow?) when all they are doing is dubbing it. How is that not pretentious? It's not like it's a 4kids dub or they're changing the names of stands to avoid getting sued.

Yeah, see this is why I made the "voice acting is subjective" post. The way you worded it sounds like "people who like the dub have no taste" as opposed to "man I'm tired of dub only because it just doesn't work for me" and that off puts a lot of people, especially when we do this song and dance for everything.
Also, you'd still partially get the 'Americanized' version because most dual audio games only have 1 text track.
Here's some other stuff to think about.
Yeah I just watched a couple videos, her normal voice seems fine. It's crazy how much voice direction can hurt or enhance a performance.
We'll see yeah, but I'm not really hopeful. if it is final hopefully the other areas are much improved.

I'm more curious of Soujiro's voice than any of the Phantom Thieves. I wonder if that was him saying the lines at the beginning. I bet
was the one asking "are you guys the Phantom Thieves?"
Mishima
Yep. I've seen some great VAs have all of their potential wasted because of a bad director.
It'd be funny if everything came full circle in that way.

Not crazy about the little snippet of VA we got in that trailer but I'm staying cautiously optimistic.
I really hope there are some natural, original performances and not all dressed up, overacted stuff.

At the beginning I would guess it would either be Soujiro or the school principal.

Robbie Daymond and Matt Mercer are doing/did both FFXV and P5? Well damn. Good for them! Robbie especially seems like a really good VA.
Very excited to give this game a shot. What is the general consensus for those who are playing the import?

Yea, they look at a script and they have to trust the voice director to tell them if the line they just read is good or not.

Isn't Xander Mobus the announcer guy for Smash 4?
Listen Dagda voice from SMT IV Apocalypse. He is the P5 MC and as Dagda he is amazing. Actually more or less a 1/3 of the cast seems shared between both games xD
Yep. This guy has a gifted voice.

Don't who anyone but mercer but it's a win looking at threads opinion and they're all new voice actors so well done Atlus.
To be honest, I would be fine with the game being dub-only if they would completely change the setting for the game just as in Ace Attorney. Just change it from Tokyo to a random fictional US City. At least the language spoken would fit the setting then.
It's the same reason I hate that all movies are dubbed into German here. Most movies are set in the US and it doesn't even make sense for the characters to speak perfect German.
I'm not criticizing the quality of the dub here. I'm sure Atlus will do a good job on that, but I dislike the dissonance between the spoken language and the setting of the game.

I feel you especially when one lives farther away from the big cities it's a major pain/impossible if you miss the timing finding a screening with the OV. I could never imagine myself watching the last Lincoln film in dub *shudder*.
I can't think of a worse idea than this.

Xander Mobus...did Sakurai tease this the other day with that one post? xD
I'm probably just reading too deep into it.
