Looks like Yuri Lowenthal has confirmed the existence of Persona 4 Remake (Yuri will not be reprising his role as Yosuke)

Tagging this as a rumor, but at this point, I don't think there's any doubt that the P4 Remake is real. Hopefully the official reveal comes soon.

He's probably doing this out of anger after being rejected for the role, not a good look for a professional voice actor
 
Will we get Persona 6 before they remake Persona 5?
Persona 4 remake → Metaphor even longer edition →Persona 4 DLC to get the G part →Persona 6 → Persona 6 warriors game → Shin Megami Tensei 6 → Persona 6 even longer edition → Persona 6 chinese gatcha outsorced mobile game → Persona 5 remake → Metaphor 2 → persona 5 DLC to get de R part →repeat
 
The pessimist in me always reacts the same way to posts like this.

If anything this comes off (at first blush) as a reason NOT to work with this VA on future projects if I were an agency looking for talent with past performance.

All working relationships are unique; some are great and some are absolute nightmares. Don't open yourself up like this, you will NOT get magically picked up because of "OuTrAgE from the fanbase"...isn't happening.
Protect your professional reputation wait until the game is announced and wish the new cast "the best of luck. I immensely enjoyed my time as this character in the original and I hope the new team gets just as much enrichment as I did".

Goddamn...*I get the guy is a huge VA now (esp compared to when he recorded the role) but still pretty gross. Post already got removed so that hand got slapped real quick.

Seriously, both P3 and 4 look pretty dated now. P5's visuals are on par with P3R. I doubt Persona 6 or even 7 will look much different from P5, unlike the big jump we saw from 4 to 5.
 
Didn't they recast all of P3 too? Wouldn't be a huge surprise. Yuri in particular is probably a lot more expensive to use now than he was in 2007, might sound older too.

Echoing what others have said, don't think it needs a remake, also not a fan of the Golden additions, which will probably be what a remake will be based upon, but will be there day 1.
 
So no Yuri and no Troy as well.

Man, Persona had such a star studded line up. IIRC Rise VA is big nowadays as well.

They recast every single character in P3R, would not be surprising if this gets the same treatment. Most of those VA's we're not nearly as big back in 2006-7 as they are now, they probably command much higher fees now.
 
Atlus really lost it huh? Then again after Metaphor being trash, I expect even that game will get a remaster before we ever see a new persona game or an actual good game from them thats not a remake of a remaster of a remake.

I didn't care for Metaphor either, but I'd definitely be down for remasters of Digital Devil Saga and Persona 1 & 2, even before the release of P6
 
Persona 4 seems like the one least in need of a remake. 4 Golden is already pretty perfect.
Persona 4 is my favorite game of all time but I disagree.

Persona 3 really started what people think of as Persona, and 4 is the only one that isn't brought up to modern standards ala Persona 5. I'm not saying it's not playable but it does feel old in comparison to Persona 5/Royal and Persona 3 Reload.

Personally, I'm looking forward to a remake of 4 since it's my favorite game of all time and it's not like it will replace the original. I would love to see them remake Persona 2 and combine the two but that would require much more work then 3/4 as gameplay would need to be changed.
 
Reminder that the new cast in P3 Reload sounded perfectly fine. Better even in Fuuka's case.

It's also been 20 years and they weren't able to hold down the original cast since the very first update going from P4 to Golden. People have already mentioned Chie, Kanji, Teddy, and even the voice actress for Naoto has come and gone in some games. I'm more worried about them changing the characters than changing voice actors.

I mean, that prediction isn't really that far off, that sounds pretty likely. They seem to be ok with Metaphor so likely a sequel will happen, if Persona 6 is as great as 5, I'm sure we'll see other editions etc

I think we will see a remake of Persona 1 and 2.

hououinkyouma00 hououinkyouma00 Agreed, saved me a post. I love Persona 4 too, but that game is still a PS2 game, it very much will be remade and needs it. I mean, I love the original, I'm not fucking blind or on crack or meth though to act as if that personal like means it shouldn't be remade lol

Like....no. That is a just remake, anyone who likes P4 Golden can keep fucking playing that, a remake isn't making some other version disappear or some weird shit lol

I didn't mind them recasting P3 and it seemed like they were gonna do that with P4.

Off-topic: I didn't realize how good persona soundtracks were until I read articles about Atlus remaking them. The first thing that popped in my head was Heartbeat, Heartbreak.

This is probably more about the SAG AFTRA strike than the fees.
