Why did they remove the mention of their talented stable of english voice overs?

Lewd NEET

>I've gotten a dream about eating Makoto's handmade cooking too.
Was she like Chie/Yukiko and a terrible cook?

I want to watch (porn) movies with futaba and cry (cum) together with her!

It's actually an SMT3 reference all the way through, since you fight Samael in both places

considering she has to cook for herself and for sae if she comes home, she has to be at least passable

>Why did they remove the mention of their talented stable of english voice overs?
Because even cocksucking places like Neogaf aren't praising your dub, Atlus USA knows they are fucked. We still won't get dual audio but I am sure Atlus USA will try blame the west for not liking Japanese games or something.

Oh, and Goro's actually been mentioned a couple times in NPC dialogue (both in comment clouds and in scenes). One NPC mentions that he heard Goro left and is pretty disappointed about it (明智が出るって聞いてたから、残念だよ。).

So it looks like he hasn't been forgotten at this point despite clearing Shidou Palace, but someone (probably Shidou's allies, since they're doing damage control right now) is spreading lies about why he's gone MIA.

No. None of the girls were honestly. That gag was thankfully removed, like the hotspring naked ones as well.

only thing we know explicitly about her cooking is that she can't do chocolate

Not Operation Babe Hunt though, unfortunately. And to add insult to injury they even half-assed it this time.

Good to know, I've always disliked that gag.

At least Yusuke's reactions to being dragged along are funny.

Thanks user, that's interesting to know.

why would anyone do this

;_;

What a fake Photoshop, we know Goro was sent to the Other Side and is now Tatsuya's best friend.

Source?

Tatsuya already has best friends, he doesn't have room in his weary broken heart for more

>pre-P5: "Persona should be more like SMT!"
>post-P5: "Wow what the fuck is all this SMT in my Persona? Fucking rehash, fucking hacks!"

I don't actually think he's a hack I just wanted to talk about the similarities because it interests me

I think it was done by the same user who did this edit. I can't remember his twitter though.

>it was nice meeting you.

Souji Seta

post your waifu

I actually like Souji Seta as a name but the Seta part is terrible. Just like how I like Akira Kurusu but only Kurusu and not Akira

I like how that user apparently was just choosing quotes at random but didn't even notice they all were oddly fitting

But Akira is the only good part of that name user

your waifu

Up to 12/10, still no signs of the corpse news report.

Got another instance of Goro being mentioned, though. A high school girl on the train on 12/10 mentions how the TV shows are trying to get ahold of Goro and Shidou, because they still want to support them despite that "weird prank" (the PT's broadcast hijack that served as Shidou's advance notice). She mentions that she's really worried that Goro in particular hasn't given a comment yet, and another girl says he's surely just busy with investigating that prank, and suggests they should just wait while supporting the election.

When I hear Kurusu I just think of this semen demon

God damn stupid guillible public.

Why do we want to save them again?

Someone uploaded Anne's Persona awakening scene

Is he our guy?

Atlus USA will make Shidou's dub voice sound like Donald Trump

This is your imouto tonight.

>Translation/Dub for Persona 5 is looking awful compared to past Persona games
I know people like to meme how bad the dub is in past games but this is truly sounding bad, what the fuck happened? Did Atlus USA all get replaced/left?

>When gaijins send their people, they aren't sending their best, they're bringing Ann, they're bringing Lisa and some, I assume, are like Elly.

People said "stop reusing the same VAs" and they did that. The problem is, they reused the same VAs because there are a maximum of like 5 not-shit english VAs. The VAs they had to get for P5 are all Funimation trash who can't act for shit.

the people who were good enough to shine despite the material are all too established and expensive now, and the people on the other side of the mic have never given a fuck

nah that's just lazy casting, going back to the well of people already in the niche instead of actually looking at a larger selection of actors

I'll grab my imouto tonight by the pussy.

Looking at the godawful pronunciation of Ryuji's name, it's safe to say they don't give a fuck anymore. I'd be surprised if there is even a voice director listening to half the lines.
The saddest thing of all is, they'll still not put dual audio in, and it will go one of two ways.
>Idiots defend the dub to hell and back despite it being awful.
>Nobody defends the dub, and the game is heavily criticized as a whole because of the poor localization, ruining what is a great game.

>This is your imouto tonight.

reading anne as ahn is the one that confuses me the most
its an english name!

Lindbeck looks like a tranny

Neko is cutest VAfu IMO

>杏
>english name

desu im kinda excited that the performances are shaping up to be total trainwrecks instead of just the regular mediocrity, its way more entertaining yknow

For me, it's Makoto's VA.
anne's va is the worst imo

Apricot is english

Cassandra would have made a better Futaba then Morgana honestly

She's kinda got that annoying little sister voice already

Morris is actually a decent VA (see Soul Hackers) it's just that she's completely miscast as Morgana, and it seems like they cast her for the sake of promotion while not actually knowing anything about the character and going off the fandom assumptions.

Her name is officially "Anne". In Japan, if your name is Anne, you'll be called "アン" because romanization, and if you decide to write it in Kanji, you can use "杏" to do so. It's still an English name, just because the pronunciation is different when it's spoken by the Japanese doesn't change her name.
If Atlus USA want to use that logic of calling everyone the way the Japanese version does, why is Morgana not called "Morugana"? Or Arsene "Aruseinu"? It's inconsistent localization that they didn't put much thought into and likely just changed her name 'for the hell of it'.

oh my

>Asahi's VA

Nice recycle VA atlus

It's as much of an english name as Karen or Jouji (George), so not really.

Cherami Leigh is a cutie, but I can barely defend the majority of her performances. They're pretty shit fampai.

Honestly Atlus US seemed so behind on the loop I wouldn't be surprised if they just didn't find out Atlus Japan changed the name a months ago.

Up to 12/17 (moving past the dungeon deadline now), still no signs of the corpse report so far. About one week left for it to show up on TV.

Got a Kaitou Channel comment that was basically going "Akechi, show up!!", but no new mentions for him past that.

>Both VA for Anne are shit

Like clockwork

Nana Mizuki is definitely among the weakest performances in P5, but she's nowhere fucking near the ear-raping piece of trash they got in english.

desu i wouldn't bet against it

Not that it would make a big difference in this game from the looks of it.

Post Makoto idiot!

/pg/ dub of Persona 5 when?

I cast the guy that did the Anne copypasta as Anne

>look up other pics of her
Jesus fuck. It's a crime that people only hear her voice.
wtf i love english dubs now

Makoto enjoys getting fucked by Yakuza and little boys!

man, the fact that all those people are waiting for him to show up not knowing he's already dead is making me sad.

they never really cared, anyway

Can I be Sensei?

Makoto is pure

I call Yusuke

Funny how NPCs mention Goro more than the PT.
Anyway, thanks for your reports user.

>goro's disappearance becomes fuel for all sorts of conspiracy theories

>Goro was Floral Pants Man all along

>cute jokerxmakoto

now that would be kino

...

The PT actually talk him a few times in the SNS chat too, it's just nothing that hasn't been mentioned here yet.

Checked around a bit when the game let me, and so far it looks like the only interactable NPCs talking about him are the two onees in Shinjuku (who just mention that the PT were his rival and wonder if someone's hiding something).

Nothing else to report so far, it's mostly been comments about Shidou and the election at the moment.

So what's next for the series if P6 won't be for a while?

I think they're gonna do a remake eventually with the new engine, preferably it'll be P2 or P3, P1 is too obscure outside of Japan and P4 doesn't really need a remake with Golden existing.

P5 Arena is practically guaranteed at this point though.

...

>Atlus
>Remake
lol

Sauce?

P3 Portable was technically a remake, even if it's a shitty one with the only selling points being playing as a chick and a couple gameplay improvements

Was P4 Golden remade from the ground up or just a port with added content?

arena
some other spinoffs maybe
a full remake is unlikely, maybe an hd collection style package rerelease
i want to fuck lisa

>P3 Portable was technically a remake, even if it's a shitty one with the only selling points being playing as a chick and a couple gameplay improvements
Hardly.
It uses almost all of the same assets. That's a remaster, not a remake.

>Was P4 Golden remade from the ground up or just a port with added content?
lol
It's a port.

>Persona 5 : Shin Megami Tensei

Yes, you could say the same about P1 and P2's psp versions.

P5 expansion, P5A, and P5 the Animation, the same holy trinity we got last time except the chances of fucking the protagonist up are essentially nonexistent
