Fireworks confirmed for tonight. I'm back to being hyped for this game, it's gonna be great to experience it with the original voice cast in all of its glory

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Glad we're getting dual audio. For such a massive JRPG release its to be expected. Pretty much the only people who don't do dual audio when there is a dub are Nintendo

 

[MaximumSpider]

Why!? This is literally my most hyped game. I would have taken any other delay.

 

[Ray Down]

Especially when Square is releasing FFXV simultaneously worldwide. I know that a worldwide release for Persona 5 would be expecting too much from ATLUS, but damn. Seven months is A LOT. The difference should be 4 months top.

XV is a AAA, Persona 5 isn't.

Though this reeks of some bad project management, this game shouldn't have been delayed AGAIN.

 

[Anoxida]

I honestly don't get why dual audio somehow makes the delay okay. No account states that the two were related. The only thing I could imagine would be having to re-adjust timers on speech length before moving cutscenes forward and the like.

They basically held up Dual audio as a 'hey, look at this shiny thing' to bury the delay announcement.

And while I'm not saying dual audio isn't a great option for those who want it, it's also something that really should have never been this big of a deal in the first place.



Even if it is, they'll never actually say this. It would be throwing someone absolutely under the bus.



At least the delays are getting shorter in between!

Agree. Kind of disappointed by some of the reactions in this thread. Something shiny was.thrown to mask something shitty and they bought it hook line and sinker. Guess what? Dual audio was coming even if there wasn't a delay.

 

[Zalusithix]

Dual Audio? Well, the game has gone from "get it later when on sale" to "get it day one" for me with that change. As such, even with the delay, I'll end up playing it sooner than I would have before.

 

[Samimista]

It would've been great if they delayed it to April 1st.

Lmao.

I would've laughed if this happened.

 

[robo_qwop]

This will save many relationships. Valentine's day is ruined.

 

[Moltenix]

Wait, WTF?!?!

You gotta be kidding me....

 

[kadotsu]

Who said a Feb date was important to me? I didn't even complain about the delay.

Then your post makes even less sense. At least I implied spite. Your problem is that ... people... like ....different ... things?

 

[Zhao_Yun]

Playstation EU Twitter confirmed it's also releasing on April 4th in Europe

Guess that answers my question about Dual-Audio in EU as well.

 

[Palocca]

Well.. I guess I have enough time to go through the January 2017 games now.

 

[Mediking]

I've been dodging spoilers for so long..... STOP MAKING IT HARDER, ATLUS!!!! Don't do this split release anymore! WORLDWIDE RELEASE FOR NOW ON!!!!

 

[LordCanti]

All I wanted was the Japanese voices so I'm pretty excited about this. It's a shame they couldn't get it out on time though.

 

[Hentailover]

It's never coming out lol

Even though it came out, it will still never come out, that's the curse we all bear. We're all slaves, we don't deserve emancipation...

 

[RoKKeR]

JP voices as DLC is really cool. I think FFXV is doing that too, correct? I don't play JRPGs but as a student of Japanese seeing that you can play with Japanese VO's definitely gets me interested.

 

[Violence Jack]

Leaves me plenty of time for Nier and Horizon in February.

 

[Kyrios]

Oh come on...

 

[Yappadappadu]

Japanese Audio DLC on release is so much more important than a February Release.

Thank God.

Fuck dual audio, if those nerds wanted that they can import the Japanese version.

Atlus pissing me off.

*this is neogaf gif*

Personally, I'm very surprised that they managed to do what nobody expected and give fans of both english and japanese dub the option to choose whichever they prefer. Welcome to 2016/2017, Atlus.

I doubt that japanese audio is the reason for the delay, considering that they could offer that as a DLC later once it's ready.

 

[Ray Down]

JP voices is really cool. I think FFXV is doing that too, correct? I don't play JRPGs but as a student of Japanese seeing that you can play with Japanese VO's definitely gets me interested.

Yes XV have JP voices, on disc though as far as I known.

 

[enkaisu]

Dual audio is a shitty consolation that like only 8 people care about. Thanks Atlus.

 

[TheFlow]

Then your post makes even less sense. At least I implied spite. Your problem is that ... people... like ....different ... things?

someone said they weren't going to buy the game because it had no dual dialog. like lol. Then others are saying dual analog is worth almost a 2 month delay. Like bruh. hyperbole city.

 

[Lunar15]

Dual Audio fans are excited now, but just wait till we find out they didn't subtitle the banter during battle, like in TMS.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Lol. How many times has this been delayed now?! Feels like fucking years since it was announced.

 

[Rue]

My reaction: "AGAIN?! WHY?! WH.. oh Dual Audio? Whatever then, i'll wait."

If they had released it in Feb and told us they were going to release a JPN Audio DLC in a couple months, I'd be waiting for that anyway. This just makes my wait more bearable.

 

[Shoeless]

I wonder if this now gives them time to implement a decent Pro patch.

I'm not happy with this delay, I was actually okay with an English only audio dub, I'll accept it stoically and hope they use it as an excuse to actually improve things. the Pro patch for World of Final Fantasy actually made things worse. Hopefully P5 doesn't suffer the same fate now.

 

[aznxchunky]

Dual audio isn't important to me but I guess they get more time with localization. Really bummed with another delay.

 

[~Cross~]

https://www.twitch.tv/atlususa

Announced in the stream.

Japanese dual audio DLC on release for free!

Delayed for so long that they know no japanese people would buy it, even at cheaper gaijin prices.

 

[Aters]

Square's also delayed FFXV for like, what, 8 years at this point

No? The game was delayed only once. FFXII was the one that had multiple release windows given out.

 

[Shmuppers]

Fuck my life

 

[Cornbread78]

More time for everyone to play

When it launches in Jan.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

OH, COME ON!

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I just want to be able to preorder it on PSN.

 

[vall03]

Man, I know everyone is upset with this delay, but this does not bode well for Etrian Odyssey V. It's taking longer and longer for the series to get localized this days. We don't even have an announcement yet. *sigh*

 

[froliq]

rip my valentines

 

[Ladekabel]

Not like this!

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Japanese voices is my takeaway from this. HUGE plus. I was actually gonna pass if it was English only, based on the quality of the voices in P4G.

 

[.JayZii]

I will wait for you forever, my dear.

 

[mjc]

Dual audio is a shitty consolation that like only 8 people care about. Thanks Atlus.

Gotta keep the real hardcore base happy, otherwise they'll complain that it ruins the game only having English dubs.

 

[marmoka]

Great! So this April, I will have to choose between South Park and Persona 5? FUUUUCK!!

My most anticipated games right now are being released with one week of difference. I had about 6 weeks before, and now this.

Oh Jesus...!

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I am sad but I accept. Still my most anticipated game.

 

[FelipeMGM]

I love this theme, the looks, the music

 

[Neoxon]

;_;

Silver lining, we now have dual audio.

 

[Maxinas]

More time for everyone to play

When it launches in Jan.

"We regret to inform you that Tales of Berseria has been delayed for quality assurance, and will be launching for the West in March :^)"

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

2016 the best year

 

[bobawesome]

Sorry for the delay, here's an avatar/theme set of a character nobody cares about.

 

[Natiko]

Cool. Not really interested in giving you my money anymore Atlus. I'll just rent it or buy it preowned.

 

[Vital Tundra]

Good. To many things early next year for me to get into an RPG. Duel audio is great, to bad English is already great for Persona, there are some other franchises in dire need of duel audio.

 

[javadoze]

There's too many damn games coming out in February/March, so I'll accept this.

 

[Zhao_Yun]

Agree. Kind of disappointed by some of the reactions in this thread. Something shiny was.thrown to mask something shitty and they bought it hook line and sinker. Guess what? Dual audio was coming even if there wasn't a delay.

I see your point, but many of us have been hoping for Dual-Audio for a long time and the chances for it to actually happen were close to 0. The delay sucks and clearly the localization process should have been much faster (which is not only Atlus USA's fault, since afaik Atlus JP didn't even let them touch the localiazion until P5 was nearly done) and needs to be critisized, but frankly it's hard for me to not be at least somewhat happy about the inclusion of Dual-Audio. Sorry if that's not the case for you, but you don't have to shame others for it.

Dual Audio fans are excited now, but just wait till we find out they didn't subtitle the banter during battle, like in TMS.

At least you have a choice now. You didn't have this for TMS.
