My jaw on the floor. Hype for the game is rising!!! Damn, Ann! Lets go!
Going from Yui Horie to OG Chie is quite a drop, yeah haha.
I probably would have been in the same boat had I played OG P4 first, but Golden was my first entry into the series.

I watched all the JP trailers for P5 at least 6-7 times. I don't remember what any of the characters sounded like, nor do I care
The first line is kind of wonky. But the rest of the lines seems fine to me. As far as Ann goes, anyway.

It's interesting, because this will be the first Persona game since OG P3 without Nich Maragos doing (at least some of) the script work. I'm very confident about the casting and the voice direction, but I'm curious about the actual script itself. We won't really know the quality of that though until the actual release. Can't wait.
There something about Atlus US trailers when some lines sound off but in game sounds fine happens a lot in Dancing All Night (Rise & Kanamin) .... pretty sure that first line of Ann is gonna sound bettter in context.
Beside that all the trailer sold me , the battle lines ,the scream when she summons carmen , the all out attack line my favorite for sure.
Really solid performance by Erika , steal my heart already.
PD : If Xanthe (Haru) and Cherami (Makoto) are gonna sound this good too (which i got faith in them) are gonna had a hard time choosing a "waifu" over the dub.

I mean, I'd like to imagine Nich wasn't the only one working on the script back in the day. But yes, his departure gave me an extremely small amount of worry when it happened.

According to the credits he was the lead editor of Persona 4, with three others serving as regular editors. I don't expect his departure to matter all that much to the final product, as Atlus is savvy enough to hire good people, but changing lead editors will probably have some effect on the script.
Another concern I have is the subject matter. It is so, so easy to make teen rebellion very cringy, so it will be interesting to see how Atlus USA does it. They've impressed me with their solutions to localization problems before, so I'm hoping P5 is no different.
I was kinda thinking the same thing, actually. Seems mostly fine to me overall though.

Watched the Ann trailer a couple more times and it's almost growing on me already. Ryuji still sounds SO off, though. Lol
Feels like he is the next one to get a trailer (him or Morgana) next week
And yeah for someone is like Yuri Lowenthal second coming ... he sounds weird in those clips
I really like Ann's voice. Really, really grounded.
The script seems a bit wooden. Doesn't sound overly natural, but it'll probably be fine.
Ryuji sounds fine too.
Morgana still sounds garbage.
EDIT: Just watched it again. So down with Ann's voice. It's great.
...What did I do this time?

Ann's dub voice sounds fantastic. I dig it.
According to Erika Harlacher (twitter) , thats how they call her / say it .... so get used to it people Ahn , Ahn Ahn Ahn Ahn .... yeah it works

I actually kinda prefer it this way now, lol.
I bet whoever asked her this on Twitter is a super cool guy who is really good at drawing.
I dunno, I heard that guy was kind of silly despite his super good drawing skills. : |
Hey, I'm cool with it as long as it's consistent. My only worry was that it was going to be different for everyone.

More concerned about how they pronounce "Takamaki" in-game personally because if it's like her English VA in the interview, eeeesh.
I dunno feels like that dude had some kind of obssesion / fetish with Naoto Shirogane which everyone knows is
worst girl
People like that is the one i try to avoid

and from last week's, "Arsène."
Not that I expect that to be mispronounced in the actual game, would be an odd thing to not check up before recording.

Calling it now: Arsène and Takamaki are going to be pronounced the same way in the game as they are in the interviews. I don't see why that would change, especially since they had already worked out the pronunciation for Ann at the time of recording.
On another note, Morgana calls her "Lady Ann" rather than the Japanese equivalent. ("Ann-dono," I think it was?) Is this the end of honourifics in Persona dubs!? Find out next time on "Pointless Speculation with Little-to-no Evidence!"
They have never used "dono" as a honorific in the English versions as far as I know, and no professional translator would when it can be perfectly translated. =P
CrimsonFist
Member
eh, he even says during the interview that he's not confident as to that being the correct pronunciation.
Calling it: honourifics have been replaced with titles all around, that's not just a quirk of Morgana.
Cannon_Fodder

Has any Persona character called another "-dono," even in Japanese before? My understanding is that's a pretty outdated way to refer to someone, and I can't think of another character who talks like that off the top of my head. I see your point though.
Huh, I had forgotten he said that. I still think that Takamaki will be pronounced like it is in the interview, but I've been wrong (multiple times) before.

Blackquill uses it in Ace Attormey 5 and 6, but he's presented as a huge weaboo so it works there.

Yes, well Ace "Eat Your Hamburgers, Apollo" Attorney is quite a different beast from Persona.
Then again, SMT4A doesn't feature honorifics, but that's set in a post-apocalypse where the people of Tokyo can somehow understand the English-speaking (at least according to their signs) people of Mikado.

I do think its funny that Joker still does his waving hand animation as if he still has a cape on even though in some of his DLC outfits... he isn't wearing a cape. I'm talking about his right hand animation. Not his left hand where he's asking his friends to follow him

Someone made a playlist of clips with the english cast's other roles synced to P5 footage. While some clips are unfitting (they put Max Mittleman voicing a cat fairy in Ryuji's clips) some of them work pretty well (Haru's clips are generally great.)
Wow that's pretty neat.
And have to agree, I'm liking the stuff for Haru. I wonder what the first audio is from though...oh wait ena, right, its NagiAsu.

Another one. This one's got everyone, but no footage.
I have no strong opinion about the cast, but I'm really curious how Goro turns out since people kept praising his voice acting in the original language. I can't stop imagining Sorey now when I hear Robbie Diamond so I'm a bit weirded out, and I didn't even play that game.
I've also seen him adjusting his gloves when he doesn't have any.

Everyone is pretty stellar in JP but to be honest I haven't actually seen people particularly mentioning Goro.
I think I've seen more Morgana and Futaba being stated as noteworthy standouts among already stellar performances.
Those 3 I would put at the top of my favorite performances from the game.

The Haru clips are pretty good.
I think that Xanthe will do a great job.
Just finished P5. I enjoyed it a lot. For reference my previous experience with the series was the P2 duology and most of P3P (I lost steam around December.)
If anyone has any particular non-spoiler questions they want answered ask away. (I know the game's been out for a month+ lol)

I played JPN P4 before the US release and yeah Chie and Naoto's ENG voices really threw me off. Still not a particular huge fan of either voice performances, though I actually did like Chie's ENG Golden performance a bit better than the original.
I will say I actually preferred most of the male cast better in English...and Rise lol

Don't you guys just "love" how whenever someone talks about whether or not Final Fantasy XV will succeed on GAF... somebody almost always brings in Persona 5 in the discussion?
Like stop.
They either say Persona 5 will destory FFXV in reviews or they say Persona 5 doesnt look much different or "risky" enough for the series so it will get mediocore reviews.
Its. So. Annoying. Just let both JRPGS do well!!!
