Kamoshida's voice is the only so far I will say is outright better than the JP voice, DC Douglas is just too good.

I don't even mind the voices (so far) outside of Igor. The change is just change and weird and whatever but it's like the VA was trying to learn English by taking this job.

Okay, Atlus, I get that nobody prints manuals anymore, but I'm not sure why I'd ever bother with buying a steelbox edition if there's literally NOTHING else to it but the disc and box. My shelf is already pretty fly.

If I switch the voices to Japanese can I upload it and just claim I did a subtitle job?

I mean they don't care about japanese uploads as far as I can tell so hey

Everyone sounds fine for the most part, Sojiro and Kamoshida are the only stands out to me for the most part. Ryuji sounds better than I was expecting but still kinda eh and the protagonist just sounds like rear end sometimes. It's not a terrible dub, it's mostly just kinda... lame? I guess.

I think ann and ryoji might be my favorite versions of their character role VS p3 and p4 tho (the default girlfriend and main character's bro)

I haven't fallen in love with Ryuji yet, but I'm only on 4/14. Tho the scene with you and him at the ramen shop was real good for Persona Best Friend Scenes.

Ann's only just started to enter the story for me, but she seems p. good

Ann is definitely not the default girlfriend as the story progresses.

Ryuji, yeah he kinda is still.

I had a thumbnail that said FIGHT VS THE TRAITOR (HD/ENGLISH SUBS) a couple months before launch so I just kinda assumed they didn't care.

Just thankful that the thumbnail was promo art to hide the actual spoiler.

I was trying to find vids of a performance from a VA later in the game for a friend to watch and I had to go to dailymotion to find it because Youtube had policed poo poo so hard it was almost impossible to find footage

Man I'm OCD about different things than everyone else because I doubt I'm capable of ever doing a one-day Palace unless I spoil myself on how many Lockpicks I need beforehand. I could've kept going in the first one but after finding a SECOND locked chest (after the one you're guaranteed to have a lockpick for) my treasure instincts wouldn't let me go further. Gotta open all treasure chests even if the loot is bad, gotta do it.

Regarding this, there's some sort of pronunciation rules when it comes to Japanese words. You're supposed to put the right emphasis on the right syllables, and it's very context-specific. For example, the words for "bridge" and "chopsticks" are written in the exact same way, use the same kana, are pronounced identically, but have different points of emphasis. It's a subtle and kind of arbitrary thing and I sympathize when it comes to trying to pronounce Japanese words.

It sure as hell is confusing, though. I never ended up finding a guide to it...

exaggerations like this are part of why it's impossible to criticize a translation, lol. the tl's definitely stiff and worth criticizing but calling it 'nigh-unreadable gibberish' is just sheer hyperbole that makes everyone draw lines in the sand.

i have a long history of thinking people griping about "totally incomprehensible" or "gibberish" translations were often just kind of dumb people who were bad at reading critically or understanding/parsing unusual sentences, things written by non-native speakers, etc

this does nothing to deter that thinking on my part

EDIT: like in other words the weeb bitching is coming from people who may be trying to impress you with their knowledge of japanese, but end up inadvertently revealing that they're worse at english (or reading comprehension) than the translators

Huh, weird. Only suggestion is try redownloading the DLC and messing with it. It seems pretty glitchy, some friends of mine had to mess with it for a while to get it working.
