>Persona 5 won't have dual audio but it might be added as dlc
http://gematsu.com/2016/06/atlus-looking-persona-5-japanese-voice-dlc
Atlus finding new ways to charge more money somehow.
>>341448827
Thank god, I want the whiny dual audio fags to have to pay more for being whiny cunts. Then about they can be happy with a dub or just not be such a noisy minority.
>>341448827
>Atlus finding new ways to charge more money somehow.
Cause they know they WILL profit off it oh so easily.
>>341448827
I would get it. We are playing at Atlus hands though, I hate it but I will put m money where my mouth is. If they release a Jap VA DLC I will get it as soon as possible.
Fuck the english VA the morgana english VA was fucking garbage.
Atlus is always "looking into it"
They're all talk
And the $10 Atlus tax to boot.
>>341448827
Can't they do the Koei Tecmo route and add it as free DLC if you want japanese voices? Fucking hell.
>>341448827
I'd buy it. There is no fucking way in hell I'm playing the game with those shitty English crap voices. Persona 3 had disgusting voices, Persona 4 had disgusting voices, and so will Persona 5. It's a disgrace, especially since the Japanese voice cast is fucking amazing.
It's a Japanese game, taking place in Japan, with Japanese culture and Japanese characters. There is no fucking reason for them to speak english. Just like how there is no fucking reason for Solid Snake to speak fucking Japanese even though the game is made in Japan. He is an American, from America, speaking with Americans and should speak english.
Good. Charge the weeaboo crybabies.
I don't mind paying a bit more to get the original dub
I also don't mind not paying at all
>>341448827
The sweet, sweet Atlus Tax.
Oh no, you'll have to listen to the audio in a language you actually speak.
What a fucking tragedy.
>>341448827
Fuck Atlus JP for having incompetent programmers and Atlus USA for having basically having no programmers.
This is such a fucking easy thing to do. Even Vanillaware and Arc System Works can do it, and they spend chicken scratch to make games.
>>341449025
This really. Let them pay or learn moon.
>>341449857
I don't speak english though
If you want to play a game in a language you don't understand you're just a fucking spastic there's not much else to it.
>>341449894
You have to go back.
>>341448827
Who else has actually charged for the Japanese dub as DLC? Sony with Soul Sacrifice is the only one I can think of off the top of my head.
>>341449857
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAtC1SzWSXg
>>341449857
Except the US voice actors are going to be shit while the Jap ones are actually well known. This is the equivalent of re-dubbing Uncharted 4 with whatever non-union trash Atlus can still get their hands on. Unless Sega made them stop doing that, but I doubt it.
>>341448827
>We demand you double your efforts translating so we can read subtitles instead of look at the game!
Fuck off you retards, I'm glad it's not in the base game, this way it's just the freaks that want it who have to pay for it
>>341450050
SE did it with Drakengard 3
>>341450168
No retard it would be more like uncharted not being in a language you understand and forcing you to read subs
Dual audio fags are such faggots
>>341449857
I'm not american and american dubs are fucking terrible.
Meanwhile the Jap VAs for this game are great. Thanks USA.
>>341450179
Enjoy your discount dub with ashley burch
>>341450023
Or maybe you don't want your ears to bleed every time the characters speak and would rather switch the voices to gibberish (read: japanese) so that you stop cringing and still understand what they're saying through text.
![42163[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/ohNSiS6.jpg "42163[1].jpg")
FUCKING sugita is doing VA for the game. HES THE GOD OF VAs!
FUCK YOU ATLUS
>>341449857
Take the honorfics out of the English dub and then we'll talk.
>>341448827
Or you could just get the undub and stop complaining
>>341450387
Enjoy understanding literally nothing without reading subtitles you fucking idiot
>>341450050
>Sony with Soul Sacrifice
wait what.
>>341450168
>are going to be shit
Literally an opinion
>Jap ones are actually well know
Being well known =/= quality. You have no way of gauging their quality, subjective or otherwise, because YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE SAYING.
Fucking subfags, I swear.
>>341450179
>>We demand you double your efforts translating
what the hell are you on? it's just switching voices, all the english slang and shit would still be the same.
Smaller companies like Vanillaware and NISA do it, there's zero excuse for Atlus not to.
>>341450050
SE had Japanese DLC for Lightning Returns. It was free for a the first month before costing money.
>>341450451
fucking this such a godly voice
he was also a bro to the guy who was the victim of the kokoro connect prank
>>341450572
> well known =/= quality
fair enough, but in this case these are actually quality voice actors. Again, this would be like getting Troy back, for example.
>>341450451
Who is he in P5?
>>341450324
>Jap VAs for this game are great
How the fuck do you know? Can you really tell the good gibberish from the bad gibberish? You have no concept of what "good" acting is in a language you don't speak.
>b-but the EMOTION in their voices
Literally kill yourself.
>>341450421
Yes because teenage sounding high pitched Japanese voices isn't the most embarrassing and cringe inducing thing ever huh?
At least English voices go some way towards making the game less embarrassing to play... Oh yeah and the fact that YOU CAN ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THE FUCK THEY ARE SAYING YOU STUPID FUCKING WEEB
The fact that people want to play a game set in Japan with English voice actors using honorfics and saying Japanese food and locations astounds me
>>341450023
I always watch movies and play games with the audio on its original language. Dubs are for plebeians.
>>341450519
Enjoy your discount dub with Scruffy the janitor
>>341450572
You don't need to understand to convey emotions and such. Besides, I do have a basic japanese knowledge so I'll understand something.
Meanwhile, save for like 2 or 3, american VAs are all terrible and make my ears bleed.
>>341449857
Yeah because English VA ARE SO GOOD that they didn't shit the bed completely in Persona 3 and 4.
Fuck you faggot.
NERD FIGHTTTTT
>>341450650
Wait so it's even the same translated script? Then what's the fucking point? You faggots really are the worst. I had figured the non dub would have better translation or something but if not you all need to get a grip
>>341449857
>>341450023
Good job, Steve. Keep this samefag shilling up and you might get a $2 bonus in your account.
The dub does not fit the fucking atmosphere of the game. You do not want Call of Duty characters to speak vietnamese, because they are fucking american characters fighting for the U.S. The same reasoning goes for this game. Not to mention that the dub is objectively atrocious compared to the Japanese counterpart, just take a fucking listen without being a biased cunt. They cannot pronounce their own names, the locations, the culturally specific objects correctly. It's fucking cringeworthy how they are speaking honorifics. Fuck the dub and all those who like it.
>>341450739
>Yes because teenage sounding high pitched Japanese voices isn't the most embarrassing and cringe inducing thing ever huh?
Yes because at least I can't understand and thus is less embarassing. Not to mention in this case the japanese voices are far better since they have Sugita.
>>341450732
I'd rather have gibberish that sounds good than having terrible fucking actors that sound like shit. Fuck you faggot.
>>341450916
>Then what's the fucking point?
Gee I dunno, not wanting to listen to the ear-bleedingly awful voices that is the English VA cast?
>>341450804
>enjoy understanding the language you understand
I will. You try and enjoy the game while doing all that heavy reading.
>>341450739
Looks like we got a self hating weeb here. Play a different game you cuck
>>341451062
Nigger even if I play a game in English I read faster than what the person speaks. How slow do you read
>>341451062
>all that heavy reading.
Boohoo, reading is so hard.
>>341450451
Fucking Shuichi Ikeda is in the game. Literally a VA legend.
>>341450739
>At least English voices go some way towards making the game less embarrassing to play.
Other way around, the fact that you can understand makes it more embarassing when they spout it the horribly cringy lines that you find in every teen anime (and thus Persona).
>>341450921
No retard, in Vietnam version of the game they would speak Vietnamese. There is no logic in what you say stop speeding out . You're obviously just a huge WEEB, also if I wasn't phone posting while watching e3 I'd screen cap to show you your 'samefag' paranoia. You've just got several people in this thread telling you that if you don't understand jap and want no dub you are a retard.
>>341451062

I'd pay 20 Euros for it.
As a European, English dubs on my weeb games are insuferable.
>>341451035
Why don't you turn off the voices then?
>>341451339
>>341451225
>>341451204
>I'll just pretend I missed the obvious point!
Arguing with weebs is hilarious. There is no point in not playing with the dub you're all being autistic and 99% of the world would agree so yeah keep lying to yourself.
What is it really? Do you just want to touch yourselves to the sounds of little Japanese girls and boys? That's why you're all so mad isn't it?
>THIS AMERICAN DUB MAKES THEM SOUND OLDER THAN 12!!!!
I'd rather listen to a language I don't understand than listen to shit like this
https://youtu.be/kNauq6_9iP0
>>341451618
It's better to have some voice acting, in this case the least embarassing option. Also they have Sugita.
>>341451035
Might as well play it on mute then you autistic fuck
>>341451682
What obvious point? The only obvious point here is that you are a fucking idiot.
>>341450572
But he is right. There are good english VA and most of them don't usually work in anime VA translations. And as there are less good actors for this type of games that are less good directors for this.
A good director can completely make terrible VA work but a terrible director with terrible actors can led to fucking garbage dubs.
If Atlus was in charge of UC I doubt the cast of VA would be in them and they would basically hire scrubs for $2.5 and have them shit a script in 10 seconds.
>>341448827
they wont add japanese voices at all
this is just "BUY THE GAME NOW AND MAYBE WE'LL DO IT LATER (LOL NO WE WONT, DUMB FAGGOT)"
>implying that you have to know a language to be able to tell if the voice acting is good or not
You can tell when people are shitty actors, in any language. It's really not hard
>>341449472
Koei Tecmo is good, Atlus is scum.
Why are there people defending the lack of dual audio? Is it not better to have more options? It doesn't hurt you in any way.
>People don't think Japanese voices would sound more natural in a game that takes place in fucking japan
Right, because hearing c-list americans say shit like "YU-KUN SENPAI LET'S GET SOME OKONOMIYAKI AT SUKIBAYASHI JIRO" is so much better. much better.
>>341451682
You're a fucking retard. Lets take uncharted 4 as an example. Its dubbed in many languages but still include the original English dub in all versions as an option.
Fuck off and get off your high horse
>>341449857
Yeah because the VAs Atlus hires aren't total shit right?
>>341451912
I dunno, Atlus loves to squeeze money out of its costumers any way they can, like their unique ''$10 Atlus tax'' or making the only region-locked PS3 game.
No dual audio No buy
>>341451952
It's just trolling obviously
>>341448827
No problem since I'm getting it on the Japanese PSN Store
>>341451952
>>341451959
It's just bored anons playing devil's advocate to shitpost.
So many normalfags weebs in persona threads. The kind of cancer who watch toonami and cosplay at anime convention.
>>341451697
I remember an old youtube video with some "horror" VA work in another anime game. Where it goes with the range of voices "Surprised"/"Anger"/etc etc and the actors failing horrible at every turn.
Thank you Atlus for having to make me pass for the same shit again with your retarded VA that you hire for a blowjob from a tend camp.
>>341451952
Pearl Harbor.
>>341451952
It really doesn't matter much since PS3 and 4 aren't region locked.
>>341451317
>There is no logic in what you say stop speeding out.
No, Captain fucking Price speaking vietnamese sure is logical. Olga Sjauvananov speaking perfectly american is extremely logical. Tsjing Nao speaking Swedish is exactly how it should be.
No. The languages should be based on the game's location itself and where the characters are fucking from. You don't go to Germany and see everyone speak perfect Chinese. Neither should you do in a video game. It breaks the fucking atmosphere when you have a character like Lisa from Persona 2 who speaks excellent english like every other character in Japan, yet the characters around her find her accent funny.
>>341452340
What if you don't speak japanese like most people and just want the non-cringy voice option?
>>341449894
Boy it really hurts any point anyone has to make when a tripfag agrees with you

>>341448827
At this point I don't care anymore, I just fucking want the JP audio any way I can get it so long as it's not something like a $15 dlc.
>Dual audio with subs.
>Dubfags can enjoy the game with dubbed character.
>Subfags can enjoy the game with original actors and subs.
There is literally no downside to having both. I don't understand this retarded trolling.

>>341452786
Hence why I asked why are people defending it.
>>341452370
Interestingly enough Ass Creed 2 is supposed to be played with the English/broken Italian option. Even though there is an Italian audio the game uses a translator software to make everyone Speak English.
>>341450732
https://youtube.com/watch?v=PVAUJgI1TJE
Can you seriously tell me you can't say if this voice acting is good or bad, simply because you don't understand Finnish?
>>341452434
Turn off the VA. If you don't understand japanese and don't like the english dub then VA is pointless.
They won't add it as DLC.
Atlus USA have been scamming the home office for years and years that gamers here don't want moonspeak dubs.
Unless you are a very rich publisher who can afford to do it whenever you want, dual audio is inevitably a transition towards JP-only audio.
When that happens, Atlus USA will be given less budget to spend on dub-related expenditures. They won't be able to hire their nonunion VA buddies, and people in sound and translation will get laid off.
The only way to avoid this is to lie and keep lying.
>>341452754
Oh please, plenty of smaller localization companies regularly pay for jp audio and they don't charge $10 extra for their releases based on nothing like Fatlus does.
>all these gaming site reporting John ''2015 worldwide release'' Hardin word as news worthy
HE'S LYING DAMMIT HE JUST WANT PEOPLE TO SHUT THE FUCK UP
>>341452647
Most DVD companies and the like also do it, shit smaller publishers are also doing it in even more niche JRPGs Atlus USA has NO EXCUSE other than they are cheap fucking bastards.
>>341452754
That would make sense ONLY if there weren't several other companies that already have several games with Dual Audio for those that care, is not like people are asking Atlus to adventure into an uncharted market, they are asking to maintain the standard set by the other companies that localize japanese games.
>>341452754
Yeah because all those smaller companies like NISA totally don't have dual audio options in their games. Poor Atlus! Especially with how retardedly cheap japanese VAs are to the point where even lowbudget indie fangames can hire a bunch of stars like Rina Satou.
>>341452754
Good, fuck them.
>>341452754
You're delusional.
Compile Heart games always have dual audio for fucks sake
I've never believed in those stupid petitions some make but dear god do I want one of those for this.. for the love of god give me japanese VA
>>341453062
Have you seen the cast for P5?
>>341448827
I honestly don't mind that as long as the price is reasonable. It does cost them extra to pay the added royalties, so if they want to charge me a couple of bucks to use the original voices that's cool, I'm happy I at least have the option.
If it's more than like $5 they can get fucked though, I'll just pirate the undub in that case.

Thank Christ. NeoGAF got blown the fuck out so hard this year.
No female Link.
No dual audio in Persona 5
Persona 5 PS3 100% coming out in English
PS4.5 is real and they need to purchase it again
Cry harder
>>341452754
It's a ATLUS game.
They don't do dual audio because they want to push the English dub.
That's the reason
>>341453257
Have you seen the cast for Zero Time Dilemma? Still got dual audio and worldwide release. Atlus is just garbage.
>>341453429
what does it have to do with neogaf?
>>341452961
>Turn off the VA
But I want voice acting, that's like saying ''turn off the voices in a french TV series because you don't understand what they're saying''.

No, I just don't want the embarassing English option that P5 has.

Shitlus BTFO'd, shill boy.
I just don't understand atlus us because they don't have any consistency
Dungeon Travelers 2 was JP only
Odin sphere is dual audio
Persona 5 is dub only
>>341453367
>Have you seen the cast for Danganronpa?
Danganronpa didn't get localized until 2014. Also, NISA is a subsidiary of NIS.
I'm sort of confused because I hear a lot of the times ATLUS doesn't provide the Japanese audio because of how expensive the voice actors are because they're top rate or whatever. But then we have shit like Dangan Ronpa which has a cast of almost entirely famous and popular voice actors and a small company like NISA is able to release them with dual audio no problem.
>>341453603
I know the female Link thing was brought up by that girl from NotEnoughShaders who claimed she played the demo and there was a female option, but I have no idea about the rest.
>>341453771
Danganropa isn't a NIS game

>>341453814
It's bullshit, that's why.
>>341453524
What is infuriating is that Persona 5 is the Behemoth of niche franchise. And Fatlus CAN'T FUCKING INVEST A LITTLE MONEY IN RELEASING WW AND HAVE DUAL FUCKING AUDIO?
God fucking damn it this game is going to sell in the millions easily WW and recover most of the money invest in it and then make a healty profit but this cheap bastards want to invest the less amount possible while not pissing most of the fanbase.
Well fuck you Atlus I will fucking pirate the PS3 JP version and play the undub hack as soon as it is available.
FUCK YOU ATLUS! FUCK YOU!
>>341453741
Depends on the devs, I think. DT2 and Odin Sphere were only published by Atlus.
>>341453814
Then there are also some other games localized by Atlus USA that have dual audio like Odin Sphere.
>>341454108
Easily richer than NIS, which is by all accounts circling the drain right now compared to their own american branch.
>>341454198
All Sega's gonna do is publish their games
>>341453814
It is fucking bullshit. Atlus US is lying because most of their employees and friends depend on the localization dub shit. Atlus JP most likely doesn't know ANYTHING about the US market so they take whatever ATLUS US says at face value and truly believe the bullshit that the US and western markets will never buy a dual audio/JP only game.
The no jp audio to prevent reverse importing argument doesn't even hold any weight in this case given how it's fucking 8 months apart from the JP release.
>>341453814
>because of how expensive the voice actors are because they're top rate or whatever
That's a bullshit excuse. Japanese voice actors are notoriously cheap to hire, hence why they take up so many jobs by seemingly everyone and their mom. MUCH smaller companies than Atlus have hired top notch VAs for their games all the time.
>Persona 5 NA release delayed five months so they can get to work making a shitty dub of it.
>No effort made to do a worldwide release.
Really just the fact that it's coming out five months later has killed my enthusiasm for it. I can't stay off the internet for almost half a year so it'll most definitely be spoiled. I don't want dual audio, just give me the fucking JP audio with subs in September so I don't have to fucking duck /v/.
>>341454451
That's not why the game's coming out in February
REMINDER
FUCK JOHN HARDIN
HE IS A LYING PIECE OF SHIT

Persona 4 had an amazing English dub. What are you talking about?
Rise's English VA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Jap VA
>>341454603
I don't see any lies in that picture. The game has no JP audio.
>>341454669
You cannot say any dub is amazing if it includes Yuri Lowenthall
>>341448827
I will pay 30$ for that.
>>341454603
>we're no slouches when it comes to dubs
That's probably why they hired the other female burch with ADHD, right?
>>341454568
I never said it was, your reading comprehension is weak. What I said is that the excuse of not including jp audio to prevent jp players from reverse importing isn't relevant considering the huge gap between the jp and western releases.
>>341454217
this 2bh
it's such a big release and they could easily make people happy by adding the japanese audio
but they want to jew every little cent
>>341454004
And ATLUS is able to financially back themselves up what's you're point?
>>341454603
>We are no slouches when it comes to dubs
I hope people when ballistic over that comment.
> We have known about this for over a week
Only the fact that it wouldn't have dual audio, not that they might charge for it as dlc.
>>341454856
Then why bring it up? We both know that's not the case.
>>341448827
Persona 5 is shit.
>>341455130
In case anyone tries to use it to defend Fatlus' money grubbing decision.
>>341454301
...Yes? Are you saying that publishing doesn't include funding?
>>341448827

>>341451682
The whole world isn't the US.
>>341450572
Nigga i know what conviction and good line delivery sound like on my ears. Your dialog doesn't even have to be good or realistic if your VA can make the voice pop out the screen.
I dont hear no john cygan nor sarah Kestelman doing anime dubs.
Persona 3's dub was so hit and miss, certain characters were good, others made me want to rip my ears out.
Jap VA's have careers built on selling shitty dialog, the mediocre ones are hidden by the language barrier but when there's good voice direction and acting talent that shit can smash right through the language barrier.
Also hearing english with honorifics thrown in it makes me feel like I'm stuck inside an anime club. Ill damn near say it's more weeaboo listenibg to that.
>>341448827
people still care about these shitty games?
>>341452791
Jap Vaan in FF12 was so bad he literally became a meme there. He was some kinda model or something and they were just shilling him despite having no VA training, kinda reminds me of how Jessica Nigri became the dub voice of Sonico.
>>341454217
>Fatlus CAN'T FUCKING INVEST A LITTLE MONEY IN RELEASING WW AND HAVE DUAL FUCKING AUDIO?
They lie. In the long run, Atlus USA gets more budget by doing dub-only releases.
If you're not cash-rich, dual-audio is often justified as a transitional measure towards JP-only audio. It makes both weebs and dubfags happy, but it does cost more money than to do one or the other.
Hypothetic budget figures:
Fatlus game with moon audio only: $800,000
Fatlus game with English audio only: $900,000
Fatlus game with dual audio: $1,000,000
That extra $100,000 would go towards paying translators to localize the script, nonunion VA wages, sound engineers to select takes and retime audio, and QA to make sure the audio doesn't fuck up anywhere. These people wouldn't have this work if Atlus USA adopted JP-only audio.
Sketchy shit they've done in the past suggests that they are deceiving their Japanese parent company, like a poll that was promoted on the Atlus forums during late night hours where people could vote between dual audio or "collectors editions" with worthless toys and extras. This poll was closed after just a few hours, presumably because they got the gerryandered results they needed to continue lying to the home office.
If there were a DLC moonspeak pack, then suddenly the lies they've been telling Atlus Co Ltd will no longer hold up. They won't allow this to happen.

Not always. Nintendo doesn't fund those DQ 3DS games despite publishing them in the west, for example. Sega certainly doesn't fund Atlus games either when Atlus publishes them themselves (in Japan).

I bet you cancerous fucks play Danganronpa with english VAs too right?
>>341455386
Who else are they gonna cast for Futaba?
>>341448827
Sure, FINE, I'll pay anything, just fucking include them or I'm getting the game elsewhere.
>>341448827
I feel like a hypocrite now but I WILL bend over and pay for that.not that it's happening so I'm safe
>>341455506
Remember that time Square made an entire character just to shill some faggot?
>>341455787
>mfw the english dub for DR
>>341455787
They definitely play GTA5 with japanese dub!
>>341455386
Who fucking cares?
>>341455959
The jap dub in Witcher 3 is incredibly well done
>>341455386
If there is bullshit like that with the English VA I am canceling my PS4 preorder and just wait for the undub PS3 version, fuck Atlus US, if I want to give money to support Persona team I will just buy the Japanese version and skip the middle man from this fucking retards.
>P4 was released in 2008
>2008 was EIGHT years ago
>"Guys we took all this additional time for polish, trust us"
>Nearly a decade worth of milking the shit out of P4
>NO WORLDWIDE RELEASE
>EIGHT YEARS
Fuck Atlus.
>>341455549
Is that true? I never knew that poll was so shady.
>>341455674
>Nintendo doesn't fund those DQ 3DS games despite publishing them in the west, for example
Do you think that publishing outside Japan doesn't include funding for the translation, localization, unit distribution and extra features (like, say, dual audio)? This isn't just about funding the game development from the beginning.
>>341455787
Junko's english VA made my wee wee stand up. Please don't ruin the illusion by posting her VA.
>>341456045
Having fun reading and hearing Japanese.
>>341448827
Hope so. I will happily pay silly amounts of money if only it was available. If not I'll import.
>>341456137
Not him but I remember participating in it, pretty much filled with all sorts of questions regarding how much money they could squeeze out of consumers just for jp audio.
NO DUAL AUDIO NO BUY
NO DUAL AUDIO NO BUY
NO DUAL AUDIO NO BUY
>Don't like Jap voices for games because a lot of them sound the same
>Don't like Eng voices for games because 8/10 they're a terrible fit if it's a localized product
Who /turnofvoice/ master race?
>>341456181
>This isn't just about funding the game development from the beginning.
When you talking about funding, it's about game development. Localization and distribution are different costs.
>>341456239
I have no problem, I used a guide to play jap only games in the past. I thought those days were behind me but I guess Fatlus US doesn't want my money.
>>341455959
Lmao that would be fun novelty experience for 10 minutes just for the hilarious image of a chink tryna stay up at real nigga hours.
>>341456237
>Junko english VA
Sound like a tumblr landwhale.
>>341451948
They would be even better if they knew how to PC.

Anything but Burch :(
>>341456370
But those are the cost that Atlus US has to face and those are the cost people here are discussing. NISA had to face the same cost for their games before and so the rest of the american companies that localize games from Japan.
Atlus US is the only retarded company that hasn't received the memo that the standard in the industry now is to have dual fucking audio.
>>341456370
> it's about game development
No, how the hell does funding not include publishing? Do you think kickstarters are only for hiring devs and not publishing?
How is a publisher not funding the game by hiring a localization team, manufacturing the new copies and distributing them on retail stores?
>>341456459
WUWUWUWUWUWUWUWHAT?!
>>341449283
It's business talk for SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY YOU WHINY FAG.
>>341456459
It's actually Erin Fitzgerald, who was Chie in Golden/Arena/Q/Ultimax
>>341456237
>mfw eng VA's can't match the range of japs so they hired 2 actresses for toko and junko
>>341456038
Well nothing can be worse than the English dub Geralt.
>>341453429
Wtf, NeoGAF are dubfags, they shit on dual audio fucking dumbass
>>341448827
Now that's scummy of them.
>>341456652
>How is a publisher not funding the game by hiring a localization team, manufacturing the new copies and distributing them on retail stores?
Because none of that is funding game development. It's funding localization. Two separate things.
>>341456683
Chie have the worst voice next to teddy in the dubs.
This Erin whatever cunt sound like trash and need to stop getting call.
>>341456614
Lmao she's not even trying.
>>341456614
Holy shit which character in P5 is she voicing?
Please not the biker.
>>341456628
>the standard in the industry now is to have dual fucking audio
In your head, sure
>>341456614
>that RANGE
>That quality
>yfw she is Futaba VA
>>341456872
Futaba, although I feel like they could cast her for any of the girls
>>341456683
Also Amanda Celine Miller, who was Kokonoe.
>>341456797
>Because none of that is funding game development.
So? Also going inside the game's code and changing all the text/images/whatever is development too.
How is a game's publishing not related to the game itself? Again, do you think that kickstarters are only for the game development part and totally not for the publishing one?
>>341457028
>How is a game's publishing not related to the game itself?
I didn't say it wasn't. I said publishing doesn't always mean funding game development.

Every western game that releases in Europe usually has German VA, Spanish VA, etc etc and people can choose what version to download depending on the setting of their console or Steam configuration.
A lot of new localization of smaller companies than Atlus Us have been including dual audio for a while now.
>>341456396
Rockstar didn't do any dubs beside English for V. Would like to see these dub fags defending English only P5 defend non English GTA
>>341455787
If I wasn't playing with the japanese VA I wouldn't know the faggot was acting like a girl
>>341457149
>I said publishing doesn't always mean funding game development.
You're the only one who decided to include ''game development'' and I pointed out how funding the game DOES include funding its publishing. Not to mention that in the process of publishing outside Japan, you are developing the game for its western version with non-japanese text and whatnot.
>>341448827
Good, if the true weeaboos want their precious fucking Japanese seiyuu so hard and are still too stupid to learn the language, they should be exploited for their money.
All they do is bitch and moan about their subs anyway.
>>341457345
Which faggot? There are a lot.
>>341457291
How is that relevant to the US?
>>341457028
>Thinking they change jack fuck to the code.
All they do is that they get the dialogue tools they have, compress them into a file, replace the file from the original. Testing. Done.
Same thing with the spoken dialogue. It's a reason why you can undub the games just by fucking copy pasting the Japanesesound files directly into the english disc and it'll be perfectly undubbed. They are cheap as fuck.
>>341448827
>Atlus finally starts to realize that they like money
PC ports soon?
>>341448827
Another thread about this?
>>341456852
Persona 4 golden chie yes. Original Chie's english voice was cute and english Naoto was fucking incredible, shame she didn't want to be credited. Wonder why.
Seiyuu is an actual career choice, while actors who tank on stage or screen gotta do voices.
>>341457456
Chihiro.Since he's a crossdresser, he was voiced by a guy in jap, but a girl in US because males can't do a good girl voice
>>341449523
How does your autism deal with this?
>>341457587
Every day until people realize they can just buy the Japanese version
>>341449025
>pay more
Except I'll be paying exactly zero dollars
>>341457230
Thank god I didn't bought Persona Q, I would have smashed my 3DS in a rampage.
Thanks for your service anon, now I have completely convinced myself to avoid the localization at all cost. Cancelling preordering and seeing how can I import a jap version. Thanks for nothing Atlus.
>expecting anything from atlus USA or JP
>>341457557
Whatever, it's still development of new non-jp copies. Not that it matters to the main point here anyways.
>>341448827
>Personiggers will defend this
>>341457230
Literally nothing wrong with Burch as Rei
>>341454759
yuri lowenthal is the best dub vocie available tho
>>341457565
dgital only n real m00tdub like ys pls
>>341450168
Are you faggots just ignoring that dozens of games are dubbed into other languages every year?
https://youtu.be/esm-A6dpXPU?t=97
And yes, that includes Uncharted 4.
https://youtu.be/5ybkODGFiy4?t=11
Fucking fags.
>>341457812
Atlusfags are fucking stupid. Options are apparently bad
>>341451568
You're not getting the game at all though.
>>341457590
Chie's original English VA sounded like a 45 year old woman, which was exactly what she was. Original Naoto had the hottest voice ever, which while sexy as hell was not good for a character trying to pass as a boy.
>>341457605
Seiyuu are only big if they have had music career, voiced something iconic or super long running like Doraemon, or voiced Michael Douglas in all the Japanese versions of films. Otherwise you're all but unknown to the public
>>341449025
You dub shitters seem like the whiny ones, I still can't understand why anyone would be against having the option. You still get the dub, you still get it for the same price, and maybe even you'll end up liking experiencing another language.
To that end I don't mind at all paying for it if it's purely a cost thing since other games have done it. Why do you suck their cooperate dick? In what way could it possibly be a negative for you to have it included even if you never use it?
>>341457842
Can't forgive anyone who voiced in Silent Hill HD. I'm just not a strong enough person to let go.
>>341454603
>We're throwing everything into English dub
>we're no slouches when it comes to dubs
Just a reminder that if VAs are not listed in the credits (or any other official source), it means the cast is non-union. Which means the VAs are working for LESS money than they would make under SAG-AFTRA scale wages.
So not only do Fatlus in fact skimp on spending money for the dub, they hire scumbags who shit on their own union for quick cash.
How can you believe that Fatlus want to make a quality dub any more than you can believe the VAs aren't third-rate hacs?
>>341450860
Except Persona games are known to have great dubs
Stop being a jaded weeb
>>341457934
You still have the option to buy it in Japanese
>>341457451
>Good
You're saying it's better to have less options that piss off your fanbase?
>>341451868
Most of the great, well known voice actors in the industry came from anime dubs you idiot.
