AngryRobotsInc posted:If they want some voice actors with crazy range, they should rope in Frank Welker and Charles Martinet. Welker's probably out of their price range. Also he's semi-retired so he only lets himself be scheduled three days a week these days so he can spend the rest of the week enjoying the benefits of being a voice acting god.

bravesword posted:They keep casting her to play kids and teenagers and she just can’t. She’s absolutely fine playing adults — I loved her in Cowboy Bebop and Megas XLR (which probably dates me), but every time the direction calls for innocent or cutesy it just sounds so affected from her. This reminded me of the one Xenosaga VA I didn't immediately identify in subsequent anime or games. Lee was Yui in Fushigi Yuugi and the main character, Miaka, was voiced by Bridget Hoffman. That woman has some talent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irEbTOkUI4w&t=636s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3QVsz5H-q4&t=127s And I should mention Amanda Winn-Lee as someone with amazing range. She's been in so many Atlus games since P2EP in 2000 and always mixes it up. Ulala, Argilla, Yukiko - all sound pretty different to me.

Do accents count for different voices from the same guy? Yuri Lowenthal's fake British accent isn't perfect and you can still tell that it's him but he uses it well in Odin Sphere.

I dont see the skill card I want to use in my inventory, but I know I got it from the execution mechanic. Might seem obvious troubleshooting but: 1. Have you unlocked Yusuke's confidant 2. Did you give that skill card to Yusuke to duplicate and not take it back from him

Go to your items and then click the switch categories or whatever until it's skill cards, then you just find the one and click a/x/whatever and choose the Persona. Hopefully that's enough info over text to help you. It hung me up the first time too.

I've always been very curious about the oft-repeated claim online that, after Last of Us, Troy Baker was 'too big" for Atlus and that's why Mercer took over as Kanji. Mercer is, as far as I know, a pretty big name himself. Yet he's still in anime like One Piece. Mayb ehe's just a nice guy and workaholic and will work for peanuts.

Baker came back for Catherine: Full Body, too, so one of them was willing to meet the other halfway at some point.

There's a video where troy baker clarified that his honeymoon in 2012 interfered with recording. Matt Mercer has been the English voice actor ever since. I'm not an expert but I think all of the dates line up.

I'm not an expert but I think all of the dates line up. So, it's actually slightly complicated IIRC. Baker wasn't able to return for the back half of the P4 anime due to his honeymoon, which Mercer took over for, but Baker was still in Golden and the original Arena which both came out in 2012. Mercer didn't properly take over for Baker until Ultimax. I think I got that right.

Right, but look at the release dates of these things, and subtract a few months off for when recording likely happened. Original VA Persona 4 JP: July 10, 2008 NA: December 9, 2008 Persona 4 Arena JP: July 26, 2012 NA: August 7, 2012 Persona 4 Anime U.S. Retail Episodes 1-12 - September 18, 2012 Persona 4 Golden JP: June 14, 2012 NA: November 20, 2012 VA gets replaced starting from here on Persona 4 Anime U.S. Retail Episodes 13-26 - January 15, 2013 Persona 4 Arena Ultimax JP: August 28, 2014 NA: September 30, 2014 Persona Q JP: June 5, 2014 NA: November 25, 2014 Persona 4 Dancing JP: June 25, 2015 NA: September 29, 2015 I don't know much about Troy Baker's personal life, but if his honeymoon was in the 2nd half of 2012, then I don't see any reason to doubt what he said and make up something about him being "too big to return" or "pay dispute". Edit: How could I forget about the dancing game.

Fairy Tail is a bit of a meme in the anime community, lowbrow trash to many, but it has a pretty dedicated fanbase and I feel safe saying much of that is due to the characters and their voices. Cherami Leigh voices one of the main characters in FT and I've been a mega fan of her ever since. It's kinda why I was so let down by Makoto, to be honest. I was so hyped for the fan favorite character to be voiced by one of my all time favorite VAs. But whatcha gonna do. I guess what I should do is try Cyberpunk and play as the female PC.

Makoto feels like a weirdly divisive character to me; she ranks very well popularity wise if I recall right (even higher than Ann who's obvious fanservice). She does nothing for me as a character though. People either love her or are just lukewarm on her; I don't think anyone outright dislikes her.

Marie has a very good Rank 9 and I like her theme, but yeah her gimmick wore off very quickly for me the last playthrough. It's easy to dunk on a lot of parts for P4 but it's still a great experience and thankfully the skip button exists now for whenever Yosuke/Teddie get really bad.
