Xander was funny as Sergei in Zestiria, although that may have backfried because they went with a super silly tone in the game and he's a way more serious character in the anime

They should also add Shao Kahn and the Killer Instinct announcer to the dubs next time.

gently caress it just dub everything with fighting game announcers let's hear the Third Strike and KOF announcers have a deep philosophical conversation.

I thought it was p funny when I learned she was Velvet in Berseria because she would've had to go hard rear end tough girl voice and the voice director for P5 didn't do that also for some reason despite Makoto easily being the most threatening looking member of the group. I guess they probably wanted her to sound less tough to make it easier for people to not be put off by her, but idk it's very possible they just didn't think it was necessary to emphasize which I think is dumb.

Agreed, I loved Vel's JPN casting and she does a great job with older women and I'm a huge fan of deeper woman's voices but it's somewhat rare in anime/games. Anything is better than Rise's JPN VA though.

It's the weird example where out of the principal cast Ben Diskin is on the decidedly lesser end of my appreciation, though that's not because he's doing a bad job but instead because Rokurou is kind of a static character who isn't that interesting compared to Velvet or even Laphicet.

Good voices all around tho, Ray Chase is versatile as hell and I didn't know Mittelman was in it until today.

He's got some pretty great lines he delivers well, but yeah Rokuro doesn't let him express his strengths a ton. Still a v good role to hear him do different stuff, but I'd say out of the central cast like Velvet and Magilou have the best VAs.

I never got too far into 15, but I kept switching between english and japanese. I liked the English for the Ah, These Are My Friends aspect, and everyone's voices were pretty good, i liked how whiny and lovely Noctis could be, but japanese cause I wasn't real big on Ignis' English only british affect and jpn Prompto was a delight

So I've listened to an actual run through of english persona 5, and this is hot hot take as someone that's never really listened to the japanese outside of snippets:
-Joker sounds at times like Vergil from DMC which is weird.
-The NPCs are good
-The first villain is so slimy that I love it
-I really like Ryuji. He's got that attitude of being pissed off without going overboard except in real big moments
-Ann is fantastic. I would say a stronger performance than any of the previous Persona girls in consistency.
-Morgana is adorable but definitely not remotely annoying other than if you really just hate the concepts of animals talking.
-I keep mistaking Yusuke for Crispin Freeman sometimes.

The weird pronunciations of names is everywhere, though but I guess that's a trade-off if chan/sama/kun drove you nuts.

It's not a high bar, but way higher quality than Berseria and FF15 which had major problems of NPCs being far below par or using completely weird accents out of nowhere.

Would you rate it as better, worse, or about the same overall relative to the P4 english?

The Japanese voice work means nothing to me because gently caress, it's not like I have any meaningful way to tell if it's a good performance anyway.

I won't really say until all the main characters are together.

And I think I just saw my first -San, so they're not gone, they're just less common.

First sighting of Goro the detective. I like his style. Definitely a "charismatic" proclaimed guy.

edit: Makoto is...how do I explain this. It's the same feeling as Chie in OG P4 in that everyone has that anime-esque quality dub and suddenly here comes this person that sounds very different from everyone else.

I don't know how else to describe it. like in extreme terms, everyone is speaking shakespearan and Mokoto is the boston version. It's the only time I was knocked out of my immersion, not in a bad way, but in a "Whoah that's different" way.

I love Yusuke's performance so much, but Ann is really strong throughout. Morgana has a couple weird slip-ups where it's clear it's isolated takes that's kinda shoved in scenes, but the group scenes have been very smooth.

You got Naoto in like....mid-later October/Early November iirc (i do not recall correctly) which is like, kinda crazy for a game basically ending in December.

I think I can point my finger at what's different about Makoto: She's very..."whispery" compared to everyone else. Her S sounds are a lot more pronounced and at times it's really hard to hear fully what she's saying until she speaks up more and is more confident/cocky.

I'm hoping that becomes less of an issue when she actually joins the party so she can be more of the latter.

Same, more or less. There are definitely Japanese VA's that get on my nerves but unless the voice is so high-pitched and screechy it can crack glass I'm not really able to differentiate past that.

Though there are still performances that are more memorable than others. Kenji Utsumi as the main villain in the anime Kemonozume was loving incredible.
