Don't quite understand AtlusUSA's response on this. Why would it matter if the community liked the influencer or not? My understanding would be that you work with an influencer to gather a new audience. There's plenty of ways to stay connected and foster goodwill with an already engaged fanbase, but you're usually reaching out to influencers in order to capture their audience.
I mean, I get it, you don't want to anger your existing fans, but I also feel like only doing what they want and reaching out to influencers they watch results in less new fans.
For example, I think people in this thread would love Persona to get exposure through PewDiePie's channels, even if most of us aren't huge fans of his show.

Because the same people would rather it go through channels that aren't PDP. Think about it, most people loved the Giant Bomb Endurance Run of P4. So to those dumbasses, those are the only people or type of people to do it.
I wouldn't be surprised also if there's discontent from the old guard of LP watchers, fans of people like Slowbeef, Chipcheezum, and the like. Basically, a bunch of old fogies pissed that their favorite LP'ers who they believe actually put effort into things (When effort is subjective, though maybe not in the case of Chip)

Was probably already known but I personally didn't know they were changing Rise's voice!

Both aren't bad but they aren't great either.
Narukami's portrait still looks awesome though.

Yeah, those lines just scream something translated from a different language. It's just a barrage of nonsense. Also don't think JYB's acting sounded all that hot compared to his performances in the other spin-offs, but it's whatever.
I do really like the typeface they chose for the text boxes, though.

Looking good. I always wished they went with that design just without the capris.

It's incredibly stupid of the people with this mindset. After the threads about him, yesterday I checked his channel and noticed that PDP is playing Catherine, and I was really happy to see that. It'd be great for P5 to get exposure on a channel with 37,000,000 subs. Anyone saying otherwise is indeed a dumbass.

Once again, old-school LP fans are fucking idiots.
She sounds awful...
Any reason why they didn't get Laura Bailey back? She's the best. Pretty sure she voiced Catherine as well.

Prior commitments with Gears of War 4 I believe, either that or she's too expensive now so Atlus has to cheap out

She wasn't available or something if I recall correctly, not 100% sure on that one.

She was busy, Atlus actually contacted her and tried to get her back, but her schedule was full, she explained as much on her twitter account.

Of course we don't mind! Your drawings are great Setsu!
New Rise sounds so different. Good thing there's no more P4 games after P4D (hopefully).
I'm more curious about this part.
The other parts of the performance sound kind of grating to me personally, but this one line is closest to what I think it should sound like. I wonder what the VA was going for here? Does she have more of an "idol" voice there and speaks with a "normal" voice for other parts? Wonder if this is just a poor direction issue...

Definitely going to take a while to get used to new Rise.
As for Laura Bailey, she's busy with Halo 5 and Gears of War 4, and whatever else she's doing. (1 guess is Fallout 4 random NPCs and such)
I found this sentence real funny.
"No one hurts or gets hurt. That must be the rule here. That's why we need to show them how we feel with our DANCING!"

Not feeling too great about new Rise right now, she sounds bored during a lot of those lines.
I'm sure she'll be back for P5Arena.

I'll say this, even when listening to the 2013 Persona Live Concert CD, the Japanese audience couldn't quite sing along to NEVER MORE in time either. At Taiyou Con this year, the English-speaking audience (myself included) tried to sing along as well to both Kimi no Kioku and NEVER MORE and was surprised that we sounded fairly decent.
Still, I'll admit that I like the OPs/EDs from both P4Anime and P4GAnime and am more likely to karaoke those (as well as Maze of Life) over say NEVER MORE. Granted, I'd still probably karaoke any song of either P3/P4 albums any day if asked.

We'll need one game to tie up all those loose ends in the complex Persona canon.

I'm currently going through the screenshots I took from PV#02 for my upcoming analysis on it, and noticed something.
When the train is going by the station, you can see a sign. This sign says "on air" with the date cut out of view. Above it is the Japanese text "放送中" which means "on air" There's a man in a butler outfit. This same sign appears in the TGS 2014 trailer, but with different text. This is probably nothing, but it's still cool nevertheless. Imagine if the date is a reference to a Persona stream or something like that. That'd be a pretty nice shout out.

Look, I need to know how Akihiko's quest for protein ends. I don't care if it takes 10 more spinoffs to get there, I NEED TO KNOW.
That font is baller
And that's probably the first time I've heard JYB seriously emote when voicing Yu. The script may be cheesy but the line reading was good.
That is such a shame! Rise just doesn't sound the same at all. Laura's voice just sounds "suggestive" and fits Rise/Catherine so well haha.
I'm hoping Rise shows up in Persona 5. That's possible, right? Maybe Laura will be free to voice a few lines for a Persona 5 appearance.

Sounds like Rei.
I don't think the Rise trailer sounds any worse than the Yu trailer, as in, it's a bunch of lines out of context. Though I have to admit, the trailer did make me feel like Dantis
I hope Bailey is free she can voice
But besides that , man i love Bailey she is my favorite VA from the P4 Cast
About the new VA , which totally sounds like Ashly Burch (or a adult Rei) i liked it , fits the character , sounds WAY mature than Bailey's and i know i going to love it in the end of the game.
The only flaws in my opinion is the lines when she shouts or rise her voice , dont sounds good in those ones.
And the "mic check one two" line bugs me a lot ... sounds like a diferent persona at all , or she going to use a new voice when she is performing as idol.
I like it , i was expecting worse.
And glad to see we going to start to see the trailers in English , seems the release date for DAN is not far (maybe in 3 months or less)

I'm posting this without reading anything prior in the thread for fear of spoilers:
About 6 months ago, I embraced my Vita and finally started P4G. I liked it a lot, but when I got to Yukiko's dungeon, I found her boss to be insurmountable; I could get a turn away from finally defeating it, but in the end, it would always do me in. At this point, I don't really want to go back to that save just because I've forgotten a lot of it and would rather start over.
Here's where I catch up to the modern day: I'm about to go on an international mission trip, and I think it's time to restart Persona 4 and finally play it for real. When I played it the first time, I was loosely using a FAQ, but that won't be possible internationally unless I were to print it out or something. Is there any sort of resource that really concisely says what the best thing to do each day is, or should I just say screw it and play through it without any sort of assistance? I felt like knowing when to hang out with people on my first 6 hours of a playthrough was really helping me to develop my "Social Links," even though I never really got far enough to utilize whatever benefits those provide. What say ye, Persona faithful?

I say play through it your own way and have fun. There's no way you'd be able to do everything on your first run anyway. A few tips, in case you need them:
- Always have a matching persona arcana when hanging out with your Social Link buddy (i.e. Pixie for Yosuke's Magician arcana) -- this boosts the points you get for advancing the S Link
- Don't get too attached to your personae, fuse away when they are underleveled or aren't being used
- You probably won't need to grind (if you're on Normal or lower) but you may have to if you blaze through dungeons
- Try to do as much of the dungeon in one go, but don't force it if you don't wanna
- Max out Marie's S. Link if you want to go for the True End (and come back here if you want non-spoiler guidance, it's kinda easy to miss)
- Basically, just do what you wanna do. Have fun and enjoy your time in Inaba!

I'd say don't follow a guide, building a playthrough around maxing your social links isn't very fun so I'd say just make your first playthrough a blind one and focus on levelling the Social Links of the characters you like, at a pace that suits you. However, I would recommend that you max out the Marie S.Link as that unlocks a bunch of extra content.

Cool. I think she sounds fine.
I'd agree with the suggestions of playing the game without a guide. You need to relax and enjoy the experience. The whole point of the game is to do what you want to do, when you want to do it. This creates a unique experience for yourself and you'll enjoy it far more than adhering to someone else's way of playing the game.

Wow.
I generally am okay with recasting, I thought Matthew Mercer was a fine replacement for Kanji and Sam Riegel while not sounding much like Dave Wittenberg managed to fit
But this sounds totally off
Alright, thanks (to you, along with everybody else)! I'll just go in solo and create my own destiny. I found Marie to be pretty cool the first time anyways, so I won't have a problem at all spending time with her. Thanks!
One more tip I didn't see recommended but if you forget the days which a Slink is available the Info bubble that you see on your screen can give you tips ingame if you are connected to the internet, that's what help me do as much as I could my first run without a guide.
I'm a bit tired right now, but it doesn't look like a butler outfit to me. It just looks like a man in a suit. Probably just a TV News broadcast.

I enlisted the help of Dacidbro to get it all set up. Will be at our booth, and I've got some prizes picked out already :3
i haven't heard new!Rise yet but I pre-emptively mourne the loss of Bailey!Rise. Her voice is fucking perrrrfeeeeeeect. it is 100% infeasible but I would DLC for Risevoice
The only female voice I will accept anyone saying senpai in. (Because Troy/Matt do a pretty great Kanji "I have this respect for you but I'M TOTALLY MY OWN MAN, MAN" senpai)
