Many of the voice actors for Persona 4: Golden were part of the original cast from the PlayStation 2 version. The development of Persona 4: Arena provided an extra rehearsal for the Vita game. As Namba said, the only problem was finding a voice actress for the new character, Marie. The localization team couldnt find a person who had the voice and could act out Maries parts as they had imagined.
After a number of interviews and auditions, Namba was introduced to Eden Riegel, who was also responsible for Sherrys voice in Resident Evil 6 and has also been part of countless other games, movies and television shows.
She was just perfect for Maries role, Namba said. I was very surprised. Her acting ability was excellent, and before we knew it, we finished recording all of Maries lines.
