Troy Baker as Kanji was a freaking revelation and I'll always be thankful they got him before the dude became super popular/expensive. I dunno if anyone individually matches that level, but the ensemble cast in P5 is probably the strongest in the series. Wouldn't change a thing about it.

It's insane how much better the dub for 3 and 4 is compared to the sub. Japanese Teddie and adachi are awful and only like 2 people in P3s sub sound good. So I guess the sub for p5 being better is only fair.

ROFL Octopus posted:P5 definitely has the best voice cast for the main party in the series so far, at least as far as English goes (that's the only version I played anyway) P5 has the best JPN VA even if they were lazy and did not translate all the text/cut scenes. Haru sounds fine in JPN but ENG is just no. Also, Chie is nowhere close to how terrible Rise and Teddy are in JPN P4:G.

I absolutely plowed through Palace 4 without any problems, so I figured I would kick it up to hard mode for Palace 5. Wow, was that a mistake!

Dub Fuuka is bad but sub fuuka is equally as lovely IMO so I don't really count that against the dub. Agreed on Aigis though. My biggest complaint though is probably JP Nyx because they lack basically any conviction at all during the tarot reading section which makes up a big reason why I love that fight.

Hang on, if there's no forced retreat in Palace 4, will I seriously have 3 weeks of down time if I can finish it the first time through? drat, I should've bought more SP Regen patches. Loving the aesthetic on this one, though. Very appropriate selection of demons in the battles, too. The previous palaces were pretty good about that but I guess there's a larger pantheon to work with in this case.

Is there any trick to fusing Neko Shogun with Dekaja, or do I just need to get Anzu to level 28 via Arcana Burst, Gallows, etc.? I could just do it the regular way but that's for scrubs and I am (apparently) a hardened criminal.

Treasure demons give you a 3x multiplier in the gallows BTW.

Moltrey posted:Miscast is the last adjective I'd use to describe Ruff's work, Yukari great you personally liking it or not doesn't change the fact that it's not what was intended. the JP va gets salty around mitusuru too, where michelle ruff "fails" is stuff like her ribbing of junpei sounding a lot more mean spirited and not just mutual teasing or making the answer even more obnoxious. in general throughout the dub she sounds less put out by all the crazy poo poo that's going on and more just kind of annoyed by it, even if the takes are well done its a coloring of the character that isn't really there in the original

That's probably a decision by the loc team and not an invalid one just for not being 1:1 to the JP version.

Peachfart posted:Between the typos, the odd phrasing, the(as of April 15) weaker story and characters than P4, and the horrible negotiation system I'm feeling a bit down about the game. This is way too early to start comparing a game and cast you've spent an entire game watching develop (Persona 4) to a group of characters you've barely met (Persona 5). I also disagree pretty strongly about the story being weaker early on than Persona 4's. Persona 5 uses an in medias res opening to really great effect before throwing you into a story about someone being terrible in a really realistic way. I suppose I can understand preferring a supernatural murder mystery, but for my money, there was a lot more interesting stuff going on right off the bat in 5 than 4. The translation has a lot of weird phrasings, though, can't really argue with that. (Oh god I'm turning into the resident "actually Persona 4 isn't that good" contrarian aren't I I swear it's my second favorite in the series)

Motto posted:That's probably a decision by the loc team and not an invalid one just for not being 1:1 to the JP version. being 1:1 is one of the lamest things a localization can be, and saying Ruff "failed" is really hyperbolic. ENG Yukari is much more completely fed up with Junpei's poo poo which fits better imo when P3's cast is extremely terse and keeps each other at the end of a five foot stick. YukarI and Junpei having a small manzai routine is less interesting to me

ROFL Octopus posted:Nah, Persona 4 is super good. Someone going "well I'm 15 minutes into this game and I already know another one I played to completion is better " is just retarded. I do really like Persona 4, like a whole lot. I'm extremely skeptical of high praise for Persona 4's cast, I think, now that I've played it again more recently. I got really, really tired of "Yosuke is weirded out by Kanji" and "none of the girls can cook and torture the boys with their cooking" jokes. I also always felt like Chie and Yukiko were supposed to be the closest friends ever but we only really hear about their friendship--it doesn't develop on-screen, so I have a hard time really being invested in them. Kanji owns, though, and I like Naoto and Rise, too. I've seen arguments that the Persona 4 cast feels more like genuine friends, but I think that's just because (especially with Golden) there were a lot more "friends hanging out" scenes and has little do with how their relationships are actually written. (also I really don't like Teddie) I'm still significantly more likely to play Persona 4 again than 3, and not just because there's no way I'm going to be able with Fuuka's voice for a whole game again

Even Haru's English VA winds up working out once you realize that Haru wants to kill things just to watch them die.

I'd argue p4's opening isn't super good though. If we're like just comparing the first half hour of the game or so. Although, p5's opening could have used some more work too.

Also, a fun little parallel: Jamieson Price also voices the narrator in Catherine, so he's given both alcohol trivia and coffee trivia.
