Well then, shows how good Mercer is..I didn't even notice the change over in voice. To be fair, I haven't seen the animation for some time now. But damn.
Persona 5 also launching on PS4, releasing 2015 ["waifu"/"husbando" crap = ban]

Give the second half of the P4 anime dub a listen. You can still hear a difference if you're listening out for it, but Mercer does a ridiculously good job of imitating Troy. He just needs to work on how he speaks, I guess. He felt a bit too angry/aggressive at times.
Edit: nvm, looks like you've watched it.
So Matt Mercer's destiny is that he is going to become the new Troy Baker.
yep lol he really is good. it's not a 100% imitation but close enough
kinda bums me out he's not all that popular yet. did some nice work in SMTIV, FEA and both Xillia games.
Huh. I'll pay more attention in Ultimax then.

The best way I can put it is if you're a serious jrpg fan who enjoys strong character development, that enjoys something that gives you a nice break or change of pace every now and then from the types of heavy grinding that you can often times experience in hardcore jrpgs, and you're also the kind of person that appreciates a creative, very modern and pop culture influenced take on world exploration and story progression, then these games are for you.
And no worries about depth to the gameplay as a result of all this other stuff. It has plenty of depth, and tons of challenge. Very few games do a better, more convincing job of giving you the impression that you've actually been transported into the world in which you're playing than the Persona games have done. You actually feel like the characters in the game are your friends. You actually feel compelled to go check on this or that character to make sure everything is cool. And you'd think that due to the technical limitations of the platforms that these games have been released on that they somehow suffer in some fashion. They don't. They're among the most beautifully imagined and well presented games I've played.
They're not just among the absolute best JRPGs you can find today, from arguably the strongest jrpg franchise currently in existence today, they're simply put some of the best JRPG games ever made. I think they hold up and stand on even footing with the best the genre has ever seen. That's the reason to be excited about Persona 5. And if you haven't ever played the series, it's precisely why the previous games are worth trying. I feel either Persona 3 or 4 are great entry points for someone new to the series, but each and every game can be enjoyed just as well without having experienced the others. It's just that the quality of 3 and 4 are so known to most by now that we can, with full confidence, sing their praises.
That's completely normal for trains in Tokyo.
At first I didn't like new Chie's voice -- sounded incredibly overbearing at first.
But aside from the rough first 1/4, she started sounding a lot more natural. In quieter dialogue moments, she blows old Chie out of the water.
But it's only fitting that he ends up going out with the girl who crushed his nuts.

Like how Troy Baker became the new Nolan North.
Edit.
We had the same idea, but you said it wonderfully poetic.
As North became Blum, as Baker became North, so to shall Mercer become Baker. It is the law of our land. It is the way of our people.
He's getting pretty big in anime dubbing though. He is doing it for Eren in AOT and Jotaro in Stardust Crusaders.

Don't you mean Levi? Bryce Papenbrook is Eren.
So you really thought that low of P4's character designs?
You are correct my bad. Don't really watch AOT. Kinda dropped it after episode 9.
But Mercer does what I would imagine Jotaro would sound in english though.
I feel confident that the chibi thing is exclusive to PQ for now.
I don't see why everyone would suddenly morph in to chibis upon entering a dungeon, lol.

Seriously?
I seriously doubt they'd keep the chibi style for a mainline game.
I don't see why they would decide to use the Q style outside of Q.
More pressing is whether the game models will actually be anatomically correct rather than the slightly exaggerated they are in the games.
Never had much use of the feature so far but this seems like the perfect fit.Tinfoilhatsron

Joke?
Erin's Chie > Tracey's Chie.
Erin breathes life into the character, yes there are some lines that don't sound great, but that's due to direction and time constraints. If I remember right, they did Arena first, then Golden then the anime all within a few months.

i just hope the anime scenes don't have those 8 foot long bodies with tiny heads that they had in p3 and 4.
It's the same voice, but she hams it up WAY more in Golden. Or at least so it seems from the clips I've seen of Golden.
awww man. Not sure how I feel about this.
Can we at least keep the manga things on our heads?

She only redeemed herself on V-Day lol. Her english VA is much more obnoxious than her JP counterpart too, I found.
I'm curious to see whether they keep the character portraits. I know they were mainly there because showing expressions and emotions with P3/4's graphical style was difficult, but I've become attached to them after all this time. It'll feel off if they're gone, even with HD character models.

Good choice. Catherine's realistically proportioned yet stylized characters were great.

:lol That would be amazing!
Old chie sounds like she's 35 to me.
Yeah that's a great point. There is still so much we don't know about the new engine. I mean, the possibilities are endless. I definitely agree that the portraits have become ingrained in how I think about these games. I'm still excited at the possibility of them opening up the S Link stuff a bit more (ie. it being more complex/fleshed out).

I know that's your opinion and all but
New Chie > Old Chie
Agreed. New Chie's voice is a natural fit for the character.

Nope. This is worst girl
Well, I think that pretty much settles it.
Yukiko is ultimate "please your parents" girl.
Chie would probably spill wine all over your parents before somehow lighting the dining room on fire. Yosuke's folks will love her
