Mona Marshall still gets work and is quite good in my opinion, but you only use female voice actors to portray boys, pre-puberty, most typically. I would be surprised if they re-cast her.

I assume you mean "wouldn't be surprised". Anyway, if they do replace her, then I wouldn't be surprised if they got Bryce Paperbrook since he's voiced similar characters before (Ken's Japanese VA voices Makoto and Komaeda from Danganronpa). Pains me to say that too since I thing Bryce is pretty mediocre.

totally agree.
No, I would be surprised. How old is Ken now? 14? They can't really use Mona...
Bryce is so bland.

Basically this, yeah. The second Junpei voice clip on the Japanese site sounds fun. Sounds like something Da Man would say!
Yep. Did we ever get confirmation JYB is going to play Hinata?
Yeah, so you wouldn't be surprised if they recasted her since her voice won't match up with his current image.
No. I don't think he's ever been confirmed for the game.

You're confusing me. Ken needs a male actor.
And thanks.

How come Chie and Kanji have Wikipedia pages but Yosuke and Naoto doesn't?
Nevermind, it was just a phrasing thing. "Wouldn't be surprised" means that you're expecting it, while "would be surprised" means you are not expecting it.
No one bothered to make them.

I think the better question is why do Chie and Kanji have Wikipedia pages?
Oh, of course Junpei is grinning like a doofus now.
That's how much they resonated.

Nope, Todd Haberkorn and Johnny Young Bosch are the only ones that have said they are in the game, but have not said what roles they are doing. If I had to guess, Haberkorn would be Hinata, based on how Hinata speaks in the game and the roles that Haberkorn has done, it would make sense. And JYB would likely be TeruTeru Hanamura, based on the fact he's voiced by Jun Fukuyama in JP. Considering how many roles these two have shared, it would make sense that or Gundham.
As for Komaeda, I'm going to reserve judgement on that until I hear a decent amount of his lines.
Oh, then I stand corrected. I could see JYB as Gundham or Hinata. Funny enough, I don't think JYB has range enough for Hanamura even though he and the Japanese VA have a lot of roles in common.
No wonder they look familiar. I'm surprised Ken's is the same too.

Yukari is looking more and more like her mother, Toriumi.
Yeah, so you wouldn't be surprised if they recasted her since her voice won't match up with his current image.
No. I don't think he's ever been confirmed for the game.
Hah, this was a pretty amusing misunderstanding. I think the confusion came from the word recast.
"I would be surprised if they recast her" - I would be surprised if they cast the same actress again (re-cast)
"I wouldn't be surprised if they recast her" - I would not be surprised if they went through the casting process again (re-cast) to pick someone else
Both basically mean the same thing
Anyway I can definitely see Bryce Pappenbrook's voice coming out of Ken's new mouth (what a weird way to say that). Wouldn't be the worst casting in the world.

It gets really good after the Hol Horse fight, and continues to be good until the final four arcs, at which point it become legendary.
Good because of battles? Because I'm not really into just straight battlin'. Part 2 was great because it was just so stupid in all the right ways and Joseph never really fought as much as he tricked all of his opponents.

I don't understand Ken's hair. Are there like two separate strands that go under his ears? What would it look like from behind?

No, it becomes good after the Hol Horse fight because every battle becomes a puzzle in which the goal is to figure out how to creatively dispatch the enemy Stand. Plus the characters continue to develop until the outshine the entire cast of Parts 1 and 2, which means more is at stake since you care about them more.

Okay, I've seen the Persona 3 #1 movie.
So yeah, done my part.
So yeah, done my part.
Dude
I felt the exact same way. Joseph Joestar was a hell of an act to follow, and Jotaru honestly doesn't come close. THAT SAID, I feel like part 3 had better side characters (including our man Joseph) and it really hits its stride right around the time that Scrafty specified.
I'd just give it more time.
I never noticed that before myself. There are a lot of little touches like that in P4A, it's pretty neat.
Cool .gif from P3M #1:
Also, translation for Ken's P4AU title is seemingly something like: "The Cynical Rookie in the Prime of his Cheekiness."
Speaking of which I should probably echo my thoughts on the P3 movie here too:
Pretty good! Animation quality wasn't perfect as there were a couple derp faces and some weird anatomical designs but it's a massive step up from what we got in the Persona 4 anime. (though it's kind of an unfair comparison but whatevs) The fights were pretty cool and I had a big smile when
.
It also gave some much needed fleshing out of Fuuka's and Makoto's character. I appreciate that they utilized his aloof personality well enough to build him beyond being a blank-state character and to provide some tension between him and the rest of the cast. He's obviously presented as a gifted Persona user but his personality hinders him from being a team player. He's not completely perfect as a result which is nice and sets the stage for some meaningful development.
I'm not sure if I'd recommend it to people who haven't played it before because the introductory phase kinda dragged and was a little boring too. But as a fan of the game I really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to the next one.
Also this happened which made me laugh.

Jack Frost and Sarasvati were summoned for the first time

How does Hinata talk? Should I expect a Brooklyn dialect?
Red The Hunter

Not a dialect, but more of in his personality, in that he's more snarky, cynical,and blunt compared to Makoto. So Habekorn would be a good fit for Hinata, considering some of the roles he's done.

I hope SDR2 actually has a decent English dub this time
Because god damn some of those characters are going to be hard to match
Because god damn some of those characters are going to be hard to match
Huh, well now I feel stupid.
First one was decent enough with good acting from Celeste, Togami, and a few others. Makoto, Sakura, and SPOILERS, not so much.
Believe it or not, I actually enjoyed the DR1 english dub. It had a solid mix of veteran actors / newcomers, which gave it a strong quality and kept the experience fresh. I mean we didn't get the ideal Monokuma (he'd have to sound like Winnie the Pooh or Mickey Mouse to convey the same idea) but it was solid voice cast for the most part. They didn't really need to work that hard to convey the same feeling that the Japanese version gave out.
THAT SAID, it's going to be quite difficult to do this in the sequel. SDR2 had a superstar lineup + some clever voice casting regarding the voice actors themselves. There are tons of clever voice actor/character combination that end up accenting the experience. Heck, the director specifically requested for certain characters to have certain voice actors. Yikes.
EDIT: For the love of god, when SDR2 hits don't research the voice actors.
Man, the DR dub was fine. In fact it was good.
Huh? Assuming I am thinking of the right SPOILERS

W-What
pls
I already aired my grievances with the DR1 dub on S. Link anyways, so I'll zip my mouth
I agree with Smed on this one. Left much to be desired and they needed twice as many VAs to even attempt it, but I'll just end it there.
Word
"That person's" voice acting in the final case was pretty solid, save for 1-2 issues. Their breakdown in the final case was incredible.

I don't see in what way it would be bad. I found it extremely fitting and excellent through all that was asked of it. Well, whatever.
That's how most works composed with ensemble casts work. They're best experienced with prior knowledge of the actors. I hope they can get it right. I did like the DR1 dub, ultimately, but it sounds like SDR2 really deserves an all-in casting.
I like this bit about Hinata being snarky. Sounds like my kind of guy.
Fingers crossed!
Yeah, Hinata is fantastic. Outright one of the best characters in the game (which is rare for a VN protagonist)
He's a massive improvement from Makoto.
