the weird thing is rina sato has a pretty deep voice in berseria. i wonder if they just directed her to not sound too intimidating in p5 or something.

It seems like you have any bass in your voice as a woman voice actor in Japan, you're probably never going to play the lead and usually regulated to villains, creatures, grandmas or background noise these. Well, same with anime dubs actresses.
lol, yeah, there aren't a ton of insanely successful deep-voiced female voice actors in japan <---- a person who knows what they're talking about

Was the SAG strike happening during the dub for this game? Probably not since Matt Mercer is voicing a character in the game and he's not using an alias.
anime voice actors are non-union anyway, it wouldn't matter if the strike was going on or not.

The cast are relative newcomers, but they've been around for 2-4 years. there's a lot of crossover with the neptunia and tales of dubs.

polygon review is up. 9/10. big criticisms were that they didn't find the s. links that engaging and lack of gay romance/a couple of dumb gay jokes. <--- nobody freak out about that one because it's a pretty valid criticism in a game about how adults ruin everything for kids.

8.5/10 from jim sterling.

9.7/10 from ign.

Neogaf is real loving strange about review scores. Like some of those dudes take anything less than 9 as an attack on a game.

it's pretty much just about validating their own opinions. they see something less than a 9 not as an attack on the game, but as an attack on them.

Keeps his head down and acts quiet and well-mannered, but is secretly pretty sly and cunning. Cocky and confident when he gets the chance to be, and has a real flair of showmanship and is willing to do even dangerous things if it makes him look cool. Shogi girl says he'd be better suited to poker than shogi.

Japanese pop-culture thinks that gay people are an insane caricature or inherently funny.
it doesn't. persona is just uniquely bad about it. there's plenty of mainstream jp stuff that treats gay people okay or even well. persona is just regressive in its politics when it comes to sexuality, even by japanese standards.

Endorph

im not saying there's literally no other works in japan that are bad about this kind of thing or that persona is way below the standard - there's stuff that's way more regressive than it -, but i am saying it is worse than the average jrpg about this kind of thing.

No, Endorph, you can't. Unfortunately the same applies to most JRPGs so I'm curious where the uniquely bad element is here.
i should have said 'worse than usual' instead of 'unique' but sometimes when im firing posts out into all ur hearts sometimes the word choice isn't really thought through


Captain Baal posted:

In Japanese they would rhyme because of how quick the syllables are said, but in English they're not gonna sound exactly the same
futaba anzu is better than futaba sakura anyway

Arist posted:

A work only having lesbians in it at this point honestly isn't that progressive either if they're just blatant fanservice.
the prob. is one person looks at lesbians making out and sees blatant fanservice and another person looks at it and sees representation that they're happy with. this is fine as all people have different views and opinions on sexuality/gender and how it should be depicted but when the former is a straight dude and the latter is a lesbian and they have an argument about it, it gets weird.
