Naoto's new VA just made a Twitter account: https://twitter.com/Val2000VO

Inside Nich's mind, his inner editor is screaming
But yeah..... "Expensive" or "Costly" is the word you'd be looking for there, and that boss is indeed pretty easy compared to what's coming up. >.>;
Thanks! I fixed it, but Im not sure if the sentence is right tough.
And yeah, I can imagine. But after
Shadow Mitsuo, Naoto
It's a bit of a run on sentence due to comma splicing, but I don't think anyone cares about THAT online. Otherwise pretty good.

And to add to the intrigue, Erin is now saying "Nicole" has never portrayed Naoto in any Persona game. I can't.

Yeah, I think Ill let that sentence that way now! =P But thank you for your patience.
And thank god!
Shadow Mitsuo
I don't think there was ever a legitimate source for the Nicole Karrer credit. The closest was IMDB and that was added by a user, which should never be trusted ever.

I'm actually not too worried. Same thing happened with Chie and Teddie and guess what? It wasn't bad. I'm pretty sure that there were reasons behind why she couldn't make it, and I am also sure that Atlus USA wouldn't just half ass things because of it.

You're right, there's never been a concrete source for Naoto. I wasn't even using imdb as an example when I posted before. I simply had a hunch it was Nicole based on her other (actually credited!) work. Theory destroyed. World shattered. Re-examining life, etc etc
I sure hope Miss Arem tries her best to imitate original Naoto (whoever she may be). Erin had her own take on Chie, which didn't sit well with me. I didn't like Sam Riegel as Teddie in P4 Arena, but he sounded like he tried harder to imitate Dave Wittenberg's performance in Golden, and it sounded great.
I know that when I heard Mary Elizabeth McGlynn as Naoto in the anime, I didn't like it at all. So, I hope her new voice isn't as drastic a change.
...man, the Persona voice actor stuff is a mess. Maybe one day Troy Baker will be too big and hollywood to do Kanji (he kinda sounded like he forgot how to do the voice in P4G).
This is one of the reasons we need to move on to Persona 5, lol.

Guys I got a question. Is Makato the actual canon name for P3MC, including the games, or is it just his name for the movie?

Naoto having a new VA confirmed with Erin's latest tweet: https://twitter.com/ErinFitzgerald/status/481611059489304576
I don't think Troy would give up Kanji unless he has to. I remember during a Beyond Podcast 300 he was a guest and if i remember correctly he said Kanji was one of his favorite characters that he voiced.

It's just the movie name for now. He doesn't have a canon name until he appears in a game with one, but a lot of people call him Makoto anyway, including myself.
Who?
Sorry, couldn't resist. (It's Makoto)
Not really. The only "canon" name we have is the P4 protagonist by virtue of being used in some games, but even then... he doesn't always have it (see a few pages ago what Nich commented about the PQ randomized names). The P3 MC will not have a proper name for a while, it seems.

Huh, can't wait to hear Naoto's new VA. I wonder if they'll even use her old clips from Arena, or redub all of them.

No one will get this, but you will.
I got it!
*Got it*
The PQ DLC tease last week for June 25 wasn't playable Velvet Room characters, but the ability to have them as navigators.
I forgot about you guys!
Thinking about it, I think we have a good handful of programmers among us.

Inconsistent voices bother the crap out of me, regardless of any perceived quality changes. We really need to move beyond the Sea of Persona 4 Milk before half the game's original cast is replaced.

To be fair, the P3 & P4 'saga' will span 9 years of material before it's over. For such a large cast of characters they did pretty well. Only blips known so far are:
Fuuka: 2 VAs
Kanji: 2 VAs
Naoto: 3 VAs
Chie: 2 VAs
Teddie: 2 VAs
PQ DLC:
600 yen a pop
600 JPY each for... navigator voices? Yikes.
Additional teased ones for July 2 DLC:

Yup, but what's behind both of them?
isn't that Marie's bag?
Isn't that just Marie's bag?

All the more reason to move on and leave it behind, that's insane.
says it's the final set too

Don't you think you're being a little overdramatic? Based on the way they're acting (Erren tweeting, Val creating a brand new Twitter account and promoting the role) it seems like they've found an actress they're going to stick with for all future purposes. I see no reason to think otherwise. She's their voice director; she'll be around.
As for the other actors: Whittenberg joined a union, Rooney left the business, Troy Baker is hot right now and Atlus' (or rather Sentai, since it was the anime he was replaced in) isn't exactly rolling in dough to compete with Konami, Ubisoft, etc.
Shit happens. It's the nature of the beast. Consistency is important to everybody though and they seem to be doing the best they can.
It's Java/Unity script.
Not sure how that's relevant, when it was stated Kanji's voice was replaced because Troy Baker was on a honeymoon.
I forgot about that. I knew he was busy at the time, so I guess I just assumed he was doing something else. Not a big leap in logic. I mean, look at the guys resume as of late.

It could be relevant... we don't know about the status of some other character's VAs yet. Come to think of it, Shadow Kanji didn't sound like his P4 self.
And no, I'm not implying Troy Baker got replaced.
He sounded very much like his P4 self.
Then again, Troy was one of the first VAs we heard from addressing the new games saying something to the effect of "I don't know what you're talking about" when asked if he was going to reprise his role in the upcoming Persona games, though that was a while back so it was assumed he was being facetious.

You really think the voice you linked from Ultimax sounds like this?
P4 Dungeon spoilers:
I'm not hearing it.
