Thank god. Q1 just became much more manageable, especially when it comes to Nioh vs P5.
Oh sweet summer child!
I say summer child because that's when you play that game
in 2018

The avoiding spoilers thing is SO annoying and tough, man. I can't keep doing this. I thought my wait was coming to an end....

I'd like to think that the fact ATLUS USA are finally giving us Dual Audio means the script won't be too far altered from the original, but who knows.

This is a good choice. The old date was in a very crowded time anyway, and the addition of Japanese VA is fantastic.
That makes the delay even worse. At least with FF15 you know it probably won't live up to the decade of hype, P5 on the other hand looks like it will so the wait is worse.
I don't think so. I heard on Easy Allies that union VOs can finish out their existing contract work and recording for this game started before the strike.
Tbh I think i'm cursed xD
Last year I skipped both PV01 and PV02 and only watched them just before the release of PV03 to get the hype train going.
"SUMMER 2016"
Now after avoiding spoilers and trying not to get too hyped in the middle of the JPN release
"oh cool the first english stream, I don't want to miss this!"

Yaaaaaay Japanese voices.
I'm more than willing to wait a month.
Not insignificantly because I already have the game

I'm OK will this. Only Nioh and Horizon Zero Dawn for February now because I don't think NieR Automata will launch worldwide in February either. Makes it easier to buy every thing day one without feeling I'm wasting money.
This is HUGE for Nioh's chances of being a hit.

How does that matter?
Yup, man things sure can change.

As in you think including the Japanese audio that's already recorded is the reason? The subs would have to exist either way, and including existing audio tracks would add (virtually) no time.
Always thought the dubs for P4 was awkward as fuck with the use of Japanese honorifics.
Also like FF15, I've been exposed to the JP dub already thanks to the pre release anime.

''...JP voices available as free DLC at launch''
YES
I mean I don't skip games for not having dual audio but it's definitely a big plus for me.

I'm happy about dual audio for two reasons:
- JP ones usually have better quality probably because their voice actors are paid much better and are treated like celebrities.
- Having JP audio, at least for me, really helps with the immersion.
Stealth reason: I have more time to buy a PS4 now, and might actually go for a Pro as a result.

Well I'll take the good news.
Game set in Japan -> Japanese Voices
Game set in the US -> English voices
Game set in Hungary -> Give me Hungarian voices if possible.
Nioh for example is doing a great job as well. The MC is from the UK and only speaks English in game while the Japanese characters only speak Japanese. It just feels "right" for me.
Probably not the same reason for most, but for me it is.
Oh man, disappointed about the delay, but very happy about the JPN voices. Its a price I'm easily willing to pay. Even better that its free, would have 100% paid for it as DLC released later. I understand many are disappointed, but man, SMH at people who are saying they are now considering not buying it or that it is no unclear if they want it now due to the delays. Its like, do you guys realize how dramatic you sound? Seems a little drastic if you were supposedly such a big fan before and now this delay has you getting all hysterical.
Just take a deep breath, relax. The game will eventually come out.

okay but bare with me
why not release the game, and then release dual audio patch when it's ready? dual audio is not the reason this has been delayed, they would have released it as free DLC if that was it.
