View Full Version : Which English voice-over do you like in P3?

The English voice-actor of Aigis seems to have done the same voice-work for Cordelia in Operation Darkness and Gwendolyn in Odin Sphere. Her/his voice sounds super special awesome. I love the voice! I do not know her/his name, but I would congratulate the voice-actor for a job well done (I don't bother reading credits, I'm very sorry). :lol:
Anyway, which English voice-over do you like? It's okay to say none, because there will always be debate about Japanese versus English voice-works.

Carrying on with the topic of the thread. I'd have to say Akihiko. I was firmly slapped in the face with nostalgia when I first heard him speaking.
Its almost as if he suddenly grew blonde hair and started running around attempting to grope the female characters.
Oh Fukuyama, how I miss you. <3

Akihiko.
Akihiko is okay. It is convincing enough to be the voice of a boxer. :D
Yukari and Mitsuru
Mitsuru is fine, but Yukari sounds kinda... awkward. :D

We have same favourites. I didn't mention Mitsuru, but she is my closest second placer. I think the reason why I like the voices of Aigis and Mitsuru is that their voices are much more distinctive and easy to remember than the others (just my opinion). :D

Ha, reading over some of the first replies, I couldn't help but realize I wasn't the only one feeling the 'Elitist' vibe around here. *sigh* I guess that's what happens when you're new to the block and aren't familiar with these territories. It's why I've limited my own topics and posts here.
Straight to the topic...
My top guy would be Shinji. I just looooove all his lines. The actor had the right tone. I always laughed my ass off each time I heard him say 'Adios, bastard.' :lol:
I liked Yukari. There were certain tones and pauses the VA uses that really made a scene work and feel real.
And as funny as this is, the Hero. Yeah. He doesn't get many lines, but that 'persona' word he says when he awakens to his persona in the beginning sounded really sexy. :lol: (Yes, I'm goofy like that) I wish he had more lines.

The dialogues of Shinji sounds cool, but sometimes, I feel like Shinji tries hard to sound cool (just my opinion).
I still don't like Yukari. I guess, I don't like pauses a lot, because I am used to rushed conversations in real life.
The Hero? He only got like one line. We just cannot seem to agree on which character we like. LOL. :D
By the way, the "Elitist" vibe came, because my original topic title was titled, "Which English voice-over can you tolerate..." or something like that. I wasn't really thinking about the title much, and people read about the implications too much. It was not intentional. LOL. :lol:
I think that's why it happened, but still, you are probably right. They just hate me for charging ahead into a forum I don't know anyone personally. The reasons are better left unknown. :lol:

I have heard the VA in other things, so that is probably why I like her more. In P3, she did have some moments where her voice got kind of annoying, mostly when she did her complaining. But I still liked a lot of what she did in P3.

Mitsuru. I'm all for her.

She has such strength and power in her voice. Tara Platt really brings out the character in Mitsuru.
Well, her, and maybe Yuri Lowenthal. I'm quite amazed that he could voice as MC, Pharos, Ryoji, and Nyx altogether. Though it wasn't that nicely done, but it surprised me.
Another surprise: Both Tara Platt (Mitsuru) and Yuri Lowenthal (MC) are married. XD Sweet~

I think the guy who did junpei's voice wasn't bad at all as far as video game voice acting goes. I might be a little biased, cuz he reminds me of when I was in high school. and he seems the most human out of all the characters.
He also just has flat out the best dialogue of any of the characters.

I have to agree with you.
Junpei VA does sound like those annoying character in most RPGs that just pisses you off, especially with the voice. But this VA turns out to be quite a good one. He's able to shift from being a total monkey to that of a serious one (esp. post-Chidori) and he doesn't sound too annoying.
We can see that he succeeded in being able to overcome that difficulty and come out successful in his VA. Kudos to Junpei's voice actor. =)

Yeah, I thought Vic did an excellent job as Junpei. I overheard him talking at a local Japanese restaurant some time ago and I thought, "That voice sounds really familiar!" Never met him in person before then, but I noticed what his voice is actually like, and it's just a bit higher-pitched for his role as Junpei.
Mona Marshall does voice both Ken and Chidori, which is probably why they sound similar.
I think the entire cast is solid, and some of my favorites are Junpei and Mitsuru. Tara Platt really shines as Mitsuru when things get dramatic.

Junpei has the greates voice. It fits him so well.
The worst is probably Fuuka's. Sometimes, the voice actor talks OK, but then suddenly there's not the right expression or tone that would fit her sentence. It really annoys me, I'm so glad they got a better voice actor for Rise.

Pharos/Ryoji/MC are all the same person, so who did Nyx Avatar?
It can't be Yuri again.
Nyx Avatar sends shiver down my spine whenever HE (Nyx herself is the moon, Ryoji is acting on behalf of her...although they are one in the same, derp) speaks.
Hmm... I think Koromaru's voice actor is great! Ken's also, Mona Marshall oftenly became VA for young males... For Yuri, I think he's better with Yosuke than with Minato, Ryoji or Pharos... Pharos freaked me out at first!
And I heard that Aigis's VA is the same as Naoto's... I liked Naoto's but not really for Aigis...
For the worst, I guess it'll be Fuuka, her voice is inconsistent..?

Hahaha... Really?? I didn't realize so many H's in his sentences... I actually quite like his voice and status and personality, moreover maybe it's because his VA is Mona Marshall...
As for his skill, I think he's less annoying that he didn't has any element-break skills...

I loved all of P3's voices except for Fuuka's, Ikutsuki's, Pharos's and Elizabeth's (Although Pharos's and Elizabeth's voice fit, they creeped me out a bit.). I loved Minato's "Per...so...na" during his awakening. Yukari had solid voice-acting througout. Junpei rocks, period (Great job Vic!). Takaya's was oustanding out of everyone else!
Oh, and an interesting fact:
Yuri voiced both Minato and Pharos/Ryoji.
Johnny voiced both Souji and Adachi.
I didn't notice until I read about it and listened to the voices more carefully.
Tello, the Hark!

Foobar
10-11-2009, 09:47 PM
I think its because Yukari is, for lack of a better term, the bitch of the game. Mitsuru was prim and proper, but an understanding leader. Fuuka was shy. Aegis was... well, an android, I don't even know if she really counts as female but I guess so if the thought comforts you.
I mean, even in The Answer, Yukari comes off as rather cold and whiney. Not even a month passes after some serious events and she just doens't care to acknowledge the importance of an occassion. Akihiko can be accused of the same, but men are generally expected to distance themselves from emotionally heavy things.
One could say Chie was the same as Yukari, but not really. She just didn't get along with Youske, otherwise she was liked by everyone. Yukari didn't get along with a lot of people.
As for my favorite voice of the game - I have to say Tara Platt as Mitsuru. I could just listen to that voice all day.
ramher
12-10-2009, 01:36 PM
Yukari chic is probably the most talented. Really, I think Yukari is very underrated because all of the characters in this game were pretty cliche. Yukari was the best, therefore people started disliking her just to be different.
Nobody comes close to getting the timing and actual-sounding dialogue like her. She is pretty famous, too... I forgot what her name is, but she's in a lot of games/anime.
Also: HOW CAN PEOPLE SAY PERSONA 4 IS BETTER THAN 3!?
Fatney
12-10-2009, 01:49 PM
Because the overall quality in P4 is just higher than in P3. The only voice which could've been better in P4 is Naoto's in my opinion. In P3 you have Mitsuru's (her voice fits, but the voice actor doesn't seem to care too much about her job), Ken's (I really don't like that voice, too easy to hear that the voice belongs to a grown woman) and the worst: Fuuka's. Oh, and also Pharos. *shudderrrr*
Some people might not like Rise's "squeaky" voice or whatever, but most people seem to agree on me that every voice fits the characters and there's no denying the fact that the voice actors really knows their job.
Saburo Hikari
12-11-2009, 05:11 AM
Overall, I think even Persona 3's English voice-acting is better than the Japanese version, now that I've heard a fair amount in Persona 3 Portable. Fuuka, Shinjiro, Pharos, and Ikutsuki do sound better in Japanese though in my opinion.
HOW CAN PEOPLE SAY PERSONA 4 IS BETTER THAN 3!?Actually, we should be asking you people the total opposite, ha ha. Overall, it's quite obvious that Persona 4 is a much better game. Don't get me wrong though, I love Persona 3 almost as much as Persona 4. It's like, right below Persona 4 in my "ultimate favorite video games of all time" list. If there is anything about Persona 3 that I like better than Persona 4 though, it was how the atmosphere felt a lot darker. Shooting yourself in the head? The Dark Hour and turning into coffins while in it? Tartarus? Nuts! The atmosphere fit the Personas and Shadows more too.

She's a bitch.She's the most believeable character in the game alongside Junpei. Her voice reflected that as well. Even the developers said that Yukari turned out to be the most realistic character in the game. Therefore, she's and her voice-actor are awesome.

I find it odd that everyone hates fuukas voice. Honestly it didnt bother me it was just when she kept crying at me when someone was knocked unconscious or when she said "Oh no I sense death". But it wasnt her voice that was annoying it was just because it was repetitive and what she said was annoying too. Fuukas voice for me fit perfectly so i was happy with her voice along with everyone else. I guess there was a few characters i didnt enjoy so maybe there voice pissed me off but it doesnt mean i dont like it. I hated ken and Ikutski. And Yukari sorry but in the pamphlet thing that comes with the game it says that everyone enjoy yukaris positive outlook but it seemed like she bitched about everything i dunno maybe its just me.

I think 90% of the time is quite a lot.
I like Yukari's voice actress, as I've noticed her work in other games, but Yukari the character is a 100% full time bitch. I mean, its realistic that she's so catty at Mitsuru early on, but I think its just as much because she's jealous of the respect Mitsuru gets so effortlessly as it is other reasons.
