Well there is a lack of a "only on PlayStation" on the persona 5 box art
I hope the cast mesh well with each other. I liked the dubs on P3 and P4 so I trust that Atlus will do the best they can.
Oh, I know that the idea is terrible, but it would still work better for me. The best option would obviously be dual-audio, but that's not going to happen.
Yep, even in cities you have to go within the first two weeks or you'll have to wait for the Blu-Ray Release.
Pretty excellent casting here. Mobus and Harlacher are headed straight to the top. Morris and Lindbeck (who I REALLY wanted to be in this) are pros. Yusuke sounded surprisingly masculine in the anime, so Mercer seems like a good pick. Leigh is an old pro. She's been waiting for this.
Robbie Daymond is voicing fucking Prompto in FFXV. I'll believe it when I hear it as far as Goro is concerned.

Morgana is quite nice. That font better not be final
Edit: I only recognized the "FINISH IT" as morgana. Not feeling the first line. At ALL

Holy shit please don't give them ideas.
Also nobody should ever be praising the whitewashing localization of the AA games.
for the record I speak japanese. my reading isn't the best though and I rather not look up kanjis every 5 minutes if there's lots of text. also it's beside the point, even if I didn't speak japanese I would always take the original. Just like how I'd never watch the Swedish dub of a foreign movie.
Those things to "think about" could be applied to any kind of media. well do you watch the dubbed versions of kurosawa and ozu movies as well, or the bergman movies, chinese italian and so on? Would you be ok if that was the only audio available? It's not only that dubs changes content but also the mood and experience of listening to different languages are inherently different and that's a big part of the appeal.
How would you even do it? There aren't even any cities even close to Tokyo/Shibuya in the US. I don't want to go back to the Persona 1 days.
I've avoided hearing any original Persona 5 voices so far (gameplay footage, the prequel anime, etc.) for this very reason. Coming into the game with no prior knowledge of the original voices will make it easier for me to accept the dub that Atlus will most likely force down my throat because Atlus gotta Atlus.
Just to be clear, I am not praising the localization of the AA games. I just wanted to express that an English dub would work better for me if the setting was actually a place where people speak English.
Sounds like "shitty adults"
Yeah that's what I meant. He said that right?
I'm sure you can track down a copy of Revelations Persona pretty easily these days.

I thought that was Ryuji. Protag said "Show me your true form!" or something like that.

My main worry with the dub was Morgana's voice. And now I see I was kind of right. The problem is not the voice itself but the delivery of the actress: Morgana can be cute, bratty, show disdain to the main cast in just few words, while in what's been shown so far there are no changes to the tone of voice. Perhaps I need to hear more before judging but what I've heard so far is kind of disappointing.
I'm going to believe that this game is set in the Lupin universe and Sojiro is just Daisuke Jigen.
We've heard one line from the game, so I'm not going to freak out too much just yet. I'm not exactly hopeful though.
Cassandra Morris, as I have heard in three games, can be your typical old friend, a tsundere or a polite deadly assasin. I'm sure she will do an amazing job as Morgana.
We've heard only like three lines and an E3 voiceover that was for promotion reasons only and not in-context.
Let's not worry about it until we hear more.
Based on my experience with the Japanese version that line is most likely Ryuji.
Morris might be the actual best actor in the main cast.

In Xenoblade X she managed to take the little-girl role that should have seemed like it'd be obnoxious, and actually make her sound pretty realistic and likeable. That alone gives her plenty of brownie points from me. She and Max Mittelman (and Xanthe Huynh, not familiar with her but that's nice for me) are the casting choices I'm happiest about.
Glad to see Xander Mobus going places even if I don't know how talkative this Protagonist is.

LOL holy shit the Smash Bros announcer is the protagonist, that is too good.

She has experience being a cute mascot character with Kyuubey, I'm sure she'll do fine.
Edit: or I may have done goofed. Whoops.

My point here is that even with one line, Japanese Morgana can show a lot of personality while so far, the few lines we've heard from the English dub don't tell you much. It doesn't help either that in Japanese, Morgana uses a lot of archaic language and mixes it with English and slang, which might be pretty difficult to pull off in the English version. I'm really not hopeful either.

Wouldn't the equivalent be like being mainly verbose and erudite and then randomly dropping in slang words or turns of phrase?

I feel like I'm the only one who likes the English VA for Morgana.
Okay. We've still only heard very little of it. It's also a localization, it doesn't have to be a 1:1 translation. I'm in the middle of my JPN playthrough and I'm curious to see where they'll take the voice direction for the ENG one. I'd rather wait and see instead of being pessimistic over 3 lines of dialogue.
I love her because she played Taiga in Toradora dub which was an excellent.

No way, I'm liking everything I'm seeing and hearing so far when it comes to the dub.

I suppose that would work, but it's just one of the multiple facets of Morgana's personality. In my opinion Morgana is the best character in the game.
The E3 clip wasn't very good, but the clip in the trailer sounds pretty good.

Only know Matt Mercer by name.
I approve Fie's VA though.

With Japanese Morgana there's a bunch of stuff going on. First of all I think the seiyuu that voices him is the same girl that voices Pikachu. I also always thought he way of speaking was a reference to this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_a_Cat
Was only kind of hoping for Goro to be voiced by Brad Swaile (Light Yagami's dub voice actor). I don't have much faith in Atlus localizations anymore (that font choice...). Buuuut that's also why I just imported the game.

Cassandra Lee Morris is both Edea Lee in Bravely Default and Lin Lee Koo in Xenoblade Chronicles X. She can do really good work. I'm going to wait and hear more, but I didn't think what was there was bad.
I think people just have an instinctive aversion to high pitched voices around here.

Brad's based out of Vancouver, most of the Ocean's dub people aren't in much anime stuff anymore.

I knew there was something I liked about Morgana's voice. I'm down.

Font choice, at least for the one attack scene text box, is probably a placeholder
"Bizarre and utterly unpalatable - This was supposed to be a work of art depicting a group of Tokyo youth, living life in modern day Tokyo. Sorry America, you can keep this wierd practice to yourselves. I'll be spending my money on the respectfully handled Yakuza Zero instead."
