Support NeoGAF

[AlexFlame116]

Oh hey, John just confirmed my suspicion: there are now lines that are voiced which originally weren't.

Okay, that is a great reason and I'm all for it. I'm okay with this now.

Also to all those who wanted the JPN dub I'm sorry for lashing out on you guys.

 

[Mortemis]

One day, I hope and OP or a mod puts up a poll with multiple joke answers and only one serious answer. See if people would gravitate to the serious one just because or still pick a joke one.

NeoGAF social experiments.

Persona 5 Launching April 4, 2017, Will Feature Dual Audio on PS4 and PS3

From the playstation blog link in the first post.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

What year is it?

Spoiler

i believe PS3 also get the Japanese audio.

 

[Seda]

no ps3? what

The 'Take Your Heart Premium Edition' is PS4 exclusive.

 

[Rob2K19]

Thanks for the original voices.

 

[Nintendoga]

Siiiiiiiiiiiiigh

Man I'm happy about Dual Audio but cmon man. That's literally the fifth time it's been delayed for us.

 

[N30RYU]

menuda puta mierda

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Could someone please provide me the source of the "Re-recording names for pronunciation" tidbit I've been hearing now? Outside of the remaining VA performances and Makoto, the pronunciation has been my only real gripe with the VA so far.

On that topic, I hope Makoto improves from Trailer>Game like Ryuji did. She's a bit too high pitched right now IMO based on the trailer alone.

Cassandra Lee Morris has also posted her own BTS Video for P5.

 

[Iva Demilcol]

I don't know if it's been mentioned but they confirmed it during the stream that honorifics are in the game...

which is actually great.

I was actually concerned about this. I'm glad to hear it.

 

[TuXx]

This might be another Evangelion 3.33 situation where they keep redoing the dub and delaying it.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Look forward to playing it in maybe August of next year. Don't trust Atlus until it actually happens. It's been like 5 times delayed at this point.

John mentioned that 'they're looking into it' in the end QA portion of the livestream.

No official confirmation of re-recording, afaik

Hah! Good. I know its divisive but I always liked them.

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

I didn't want to choose between this and Horizon, so it's not the worst thing in the world. Though if I'm being honest I'd rather Persona be the one to come out in February.

 

[Qurupeke]

Hey, at least now I can play Horizon day 1, right?

 

[Yabberwocky]

Aw, Persona 5 is Worldwide trending on Twitter. We'll all be thirsty together.

Oh hey, John just confirmed my suspicion: there are now lines that are voiced which originally weren't.

That's great, I remember that being a complaint in the OT. Definitely worth the wait.

 

[grandjedi6]

Just delay it to 5/5/2017

And I wonder how much this has to do with the voice acting strike

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Adding the Japanese voices is worth the delay.

At that point I would have waited close to 4 years for P5 though.

 

[Deleted member 518609]

Just delay it to 5/5/2017

I'm honestly a tad miffed they didn't delay it an extra week to 4/11, the day that the game starts.

 

[Strimei]

Nothing, as Atlus' dubs are non-union.

edit: Additionally, neither Atlus nor Sega are on the list of companies to strike against, as I recall.

 

[artsi]

Oh hey, John just confirmed my suspicion: there are now lines that are voiced which originally weren't.

That's great because the Japanese version has way too little voice acting.

Too many times I've thought, "wait this is important stuff, why is this conversation not voiced?!"

I wonder if they used too expensive VA's with too small budget or something.

 

[TuXx]

Adding the Japanese voices is worth the delay.

Do you really think that's the reason for the delay?

 

[AmaterasuOkami076]

Maybe they're fixing the outrageously bad name pronunciation.

 

[Admiral Snackbar]

Legit disappointed. Not enough to refuse the game but this is more than a little annoying. Shoddy planning.

Dual Audio should never have been a 'maybe'. Using it as sugar to make this go down easy is silly.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Everyone always picks the joke option.

 

[Aenima]

What a big bag of bull crap.
The dual audio is awesome news. But the delay sucks, and on top of it the theme is for US only? I can use the theme in my american account but is locked on my European account.

EDIT: Setting the American account as primary let me use the theme in the other accounts.

 

[striferser]

Dammit! But dual audio is sweeet!

They said they are recording lines that were not planned before. But this actually makes me wonder if they are including new lines in both English and Japanese or if some of the Japanese Audio wasn't going to be dubbed.

About the pronunciation they do mention that they are "looking into it" and that we'd found out about that later.

Everything is on archive of the stream... about 2 hours and 15 min.

 

[Curufinwe]

I can't find the theme on the store on my PS4.

 

[Sölf]

I am a simple man. I read "Japanese voice DLC for free", I don't rage about the delay.

 

[EhoaVash]

Good February is fucking stacked as hell.

Also maybe a switch port is in the works ;D ;d

 

[Metroidvania]

Theme for Europe is coming out at a later date (next week, I think)

 

[Aenima]

U need an american account. Its on the avatars sections its a pack that when u get the avatar u get the theme too.

 

[Aenima]

.

 

[Kuni]

Aww that's a shame but understandable. I can wait a bit longer for this one. It's going to be so good. I appreciated their frankness and the Dual Audio DLC.

 

[Trigonometrize.]

<2 months for JP voices? Absolutely worth, not to mention it's about the precedent set and not just for P5.

 

[Wilsongt]

Lol. Not shocking at all.

 

[Caim]

Make the american account primary and you can use it I think.

I did that and could use all my JP PSN themes.

 

[GasProblem]

Wellll....

There's other stuff to play so eh.


Dragon Quest VIII. Nioh. Horizon. Kingdom Hearts 1.5 +2.5. Nintendo Switch. Nier. I mean, there's enough to choose from.

 

[Slashlen]

2 month delay but we get dual audio? That's a win overall.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Reduced load times + >1080p resolution would be nice. Nothing essential but that's some stuff they could do to make the game pop even more.

Are the loadings really that long on OG PS4? Haven't seen any footage of the game in a long time so I'm genuinely wondering. If it is then I think it says more about Atlus not optimizing the game for PS4 than needing extra power to achieve it on Pro, since OG PS4 and PS3 versions look pretty identical. (and both run at 30fps)

Idk about resolution though. If the game is using assets that were made for PS3 then I think it won't look very good on higher resolutions like 4K.

 

[Aters]

The moment you notice Duckroll is online.

 

[Aenima]

I did that and could use all my JP PSN themes.

ah, it worked. Thanks

 

[cj_iwakura]

Not really. More inconsistency.

 

[TuXx]

Is Ryuji the only character theme their offering? Dude's a spaz.

 

[guybrushfreeman]

See you all in the time loop I guess
