"Don't know" complicated or "can't say" complicated?
The fact I've phrased these as two words should get my opinion across.
At least both Atlus JP and Atlus USA are consistently ignoring Goro
True
I haven't forgotten either! It's the best one of the interviews I did
I think is the first time i got a reply from the man himself haha.
Hope we see that interview at some point , but more curious to see if Goro is going to have a mini trailer tbh.
Once again, the studying music in P5 is one of the standout tracks.
I feel like everyone always forgets these, and they're always excellent. P5's is on the same level as Specialist.
EDIT: I just saw the new confidant videos. Is it possible that the cumbersome dialogue is the result of having a different editor? As I recall, Nich Maragos was the lead editor on P4, and has now left AtlusUS. Might explain why all the sentences all contain 25% too many words.

Persona 4: a critique of television culture (Original here) -spoilers inside-
Has anyone here read this? Maybe not entirely on point but I think it's a neat read. It's very Japan-oriented.

I think it's certainly a factor, but as others have pointed out in this thread, I don't think it's fair to say that without Nich Atlus scripts are going to be cumbersome. For one thing, he wasn't the only editor on P4. For another, Atlus have put out a lot of games without Nich that still read well. Vanilla P3 and SMT:A, for example.
He wasn't the only editor on P4, but he was the lead editor.
And whoever was the lead editor on P3 is presumably gone, or at least they're not editing any more.
I can't speak for SMT4A.

I'm not sure how much of a factor it is here but
It's pretty interesting, gives a good insight into the cultural references that inform a bunch of Persona 4's events. The discussion about the predominance of television in Japan is particularly interesting:

Yeah... I remember Sukuna Hikona's line at the start of his battle dragging on too.
Yuuki Mishima (JP)
-lmao who the fuck is this kid
-he seems like a mega loser stalker
-he's probably gonna betray you like 100 times
-get him OUTTA my life
-I want to bully him
Yuuki Mishima (ENG)
-Total bro
-Motherfuckin SEAN CHIPLOCK
-Should have been a member of the phantom thieves smh
-I'm willing to trust this guy with my life
-I want to protect him

Yeah, I think that's a good indication that Nich was a great editor for Atlus. My point is that even with him gone, they can (and should) do just as good a job.
I'm not sure how much of a factor it is here but
I'd consider that more of a Q&A issue myself, and I think it's safe to say that Apocalypse had a lot of problems with Q&A in general. That line is obviously jumbled and improperly displayed.

You know what his design makes me think of?
That OTHER Shinji. Put-upon bitch Shinji.
Also, has Sean confirmed he's voicing him? Cause we've got some wild speculation going on in the discord and that should probably be put to rest if it can...
edit: I mean... the guy announced he was voicing Navarre, so what would the holdup be here? It didn't stop Kaiji Tang.
If anyone is interested both Amanda Winn Lee and Sarah Anne Williams confirmed their Persona 5 roles in social media as Ichiko (Winn Lee) & Chihaya (Williams) plus Sarah say she will be returning as Jack Frost in the game according to her Twitter
PD : Pretty sure Yukki is Sean , the one cant figure out yet is "Smoked out" kid .... sounds like Cindy Robinson to me but at the same time sounds nothing like her

Oh wait, yeah, you're 3 for 4, at least. It's been like a decade since I've even heard Goodson's voice that I instantly went to Izzy from Digimon and Doraemon from that weird dub a few years back. Didn't even consider Laharl or Naota from FLCL.
Only one I'm not sure about is Yuuki/Chiplock. The voice sounds partly like a put-on, which is why it sounds so nasally in places, but I don't know if it's him. This is the only voice I've found that comes close in his demo reels, but it's still pretty different. I've never played Trails, though, so I don't know his voice that well.
We heard it in the first trailer ("You transferred to Shujin, correct?"). Pretty sure it's Meghan Hollingshead.
I kinda like it. It's exactly the kind of name I could see Yuuki coming up with, thinking it's genius, but it's not going to work as well if no one else calls him on it.
To be fair, though, Nich was lead editor on pretty much everything Atlus did for nearly a decade. He didn't do Record Breaker (which I'd actually say had some of the same problems P5's been showing just not as much), but he did to Etrian 2 Untold. He's been such a fixture that I'd imagine his moving would disrupt at least a few things.
You kinda just described his entire character, though. Everyone beats up on him, including the party members.

Phan-Site...
Fa-OH!
*clutches head in sudden realization*
God DAMMIT!
I think I'm actually okay with it now. I didn't even notice the pun before, but double-meaning kind of saves it.

I feel like I'm blind, where does it say Phan-Site? I don't doubt you, I'm just curious.
I hadn't seen this, thanks!

Huh.
That COULD be a gag just for the description (the "wait for it" seems to suggest as much)
Makes sense. I'm sure any "Chan" references wouldn't fly too well here.

Pretty sure there's a shortened version used in the Japanese game too (Ph-Ch), so I assume that's the actual English equivalent.

Holy cow is that really the UI they're sticking with? They showed that date counter in their November stream but I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that it was just temporary, but they really seem to be using that. It's terrible, and to make matters worse they stretched the objective markers to cover even more of the screen because they chose such a wide font. Surely Atlus USA have some graphic designers?
The objectives themselves are also just as stiffly written as ever; "Days until Pics Leaked," and "Await the change of heart," seriously? Really starting to fear for the localization now that it's only a short ways off and nothing seems to be improving.
Edit: Here's a quick mockup of how I think it could be improved. If I can do this in ~10 minutes in photoshop, surely Atlus USA can put in the effort too.

"Prove your justice to society"
This is some Metal Wolf Chaos shit right here.
Believe me, that sounds funky too. :/
Just... what does that even mean?

To me that sounds better than "Follow the situation", but that may very well be because it's not my first language.

That one's real weird. The Japanese text says "事態の経過を見守れ," which I'd translate as "See how the situation unfolds" or something to that effect.
"Follow the situation" would just leave me thinking "well what the hell does that mean?" And it seems it's having that effect here too.

Not enough space for characters, I bet...
This is Persona Q all over again! D:
Nah. I just put them side-by-side and "folds" makes it a bit longer.
5 characters is a lot, considering the confined space. Just look at twitter.

After a quick count it seems to be as long as "Prove your justice to society".
I know that line was her , and i no even going to question how you know is her with a simple line , specially since i dont know that VA. (See if i can tell who she is for any of her of roles or such).
EDIT : Now i remember her from Drakengard , and listen to her samples in BTVA seems you are right.

I begun Yakuza 0 a few minutes ago and I'm already drawn in. The main guy, Kiryu, is walking around town and the atmosphere is amazing... I just did a fun minigame with Kiryu and it was pretty heartwarming.
I can't wait to see that from Atlus in Persona 5. Just walk around and stumble upon stuff. Pass your time away by doing goofy stuff by yourself or with your friends.

P5's environments are less detailed than Yakuza's but they're still a huge step up from the previous games. A lot more environments and things to do.

That is hilariously amateurish. Your mockup looks ten times better.

I played about 3 hours into P5 and the cinematics are amazing period. Production IG did a quality ass job, especially capturing Soejima's art style pretty well because I know some of the past studios they've gotten haven't had perfect success with that. Also that game has a ton of animated cutscenes, like way more than the entirety of P3FES in the first couple hours it seemed like.

Holy shit.
Your mockup is far better. Come on Atlus USA, the UI is one of this game's biggest strengths, don't squander it...
I wonder why nobody corrected the box for the US release, seeing as they almost certainly had to draw new art for it. The Japanese text isn't nearly as off-angled as the English version.
Actually, I wonder how your mockup would look if the number was on the left side?

Awww yeah! Very assuring to hear. Love my animated scenes and cinematography in games.
Does P5 does that cool thing where it transitions from a in game cutscene to gameplay seamlessly?

Deleted member 518609

I think they had the original art on separate layers, since on the "School-Life" page on the English site you can see the Protagonist's art from the cover, but on his own.
And yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I think it looks better with the number on the left side, but I wouldn't expect Atlus USA to go that far with localizing the UI (or even be able to).
It doesn't make a world of difference, and I'd be happy with them just improving the awful current one.

Nah, they usually have quick little loading animations between stuff. But they do a lot of cool framing and stuff with the menus which awesome. The battle transitions in and out are decently seamless though.

If you like good cinematography, the anime cutscenes are decent, but the in game cutscenes are miles better. The direction in them is seriously fantastic. Almost every frame is screenshot worthy - which is why it's so damn painful they disabled the share button.

Persona 5 has genuinely been tempting me to buy a capture card. It's painful not being able to take screenshots.
