I wish they would go with less common voice actors.
They could even save money.

I totally don't agree there.
I'm actually quite sick of the same 10 VAs getting work.
RETIRE GDI!

yeah, they don't whore themselves out.
j/k
I'd post my list but I already did on another gaming website and people's heads exploded and then they went to posting... the same ten voice actors with an occasional new name.

NO I'm fucking not.

Same names or not, most of these actors have incredible vocal range, are seasoned pros when it comes to dub recording and they could really use the paycheck from the game industry given that anime on the West Coast has tanked due to the ongoing industry crash brought on by digisubs, greedy Japanese licensors and fiscal mismanagement.
It's not like they're going to hone their craft working on Naruto. :lol

So, anyway... enough about Atlus' crappy VA choices.
Going by the 14 week rule I'd expect an announcement in April 09...

Yeah, DDS was ok from what I heard.
Let's not make this into a VA debate thread though. :/
1up did an article on Famitsu's reviews of P4, GoW:CoO and Kane and Lynch. Here's what they said about P4...
Everybody likes the Persona series -- especially in Japan, where fans are legion and (apparently) crime-fighting mystical teenagers solving otherworldly murders are commonplace. Persona 4, the latest in Atlus' hardcore, horror-inspired RPG series, hits Japan on July 10, and Weekly Famitsu magazine published the first review this week, giving the PS2 title a very respectable 33 points out of 40 and a Gold reward. "The controls and battles both work quickly, and you can direct your party members around now, which makes play that much easier," one review commented. "The dungeons are laid out pretty simply, but they still have enough to keep you engaged." Another continued: "There isn't much new from the last game, but that strange addictiveness that doesn't let you go is still there. The cutscenes are more ornate, it's easier to move around, and generally a lot of details have been improved upon. The battles themselves are a little difficult and some leveling is a must, but the tempo is quick so it doesn't get to be a pain."
So, pretty much what everyone expected. Like P3, with a bunch of improvements and more polish.

The official webpage updated for what might be the last time before the official release. Not much of note: The Music section still isn't opened, and the only video of note is Velvet Room video, actually of "The First S. Link." A few things of note...
- While all previous videos have shown a short 'level up' animation, when an S. Link is created it uses the same dim screen, centered tarot card, and ominous music, though the animation (and positioning of the text) seem to have been done with much more care.
