Anyway, just what overall theme are you talking about? What's that have to do with the voice actors' work? Moreover, how exactly do your store (What's it called, location, etc.) and customers play into the grand scheme of the US dub? Your "majority" could just as easily be the same number of people in the US who played Fire Emblem: Thracia 776...which means not a whole lot, and probably less.
Hopefully your store carries imports to satiate your customers' needs, though.

Yuri Lowenthal. He did the voice of Protagonist/Pharos/Ryouji. As I recall...Yuri was never a Power Ranger. That slick beast would be Johnny Yong Bosch, the current voice of the Protagonist.

Ah, that's his name. Man, he's everywhere...! I really like his voice, but I've heard him in one too many things recently in a short amount of time, so I'm a little glad I won't have to hear him too much and think about Nero, Guy, etc.

Yakuza 2, Ar Tonelico, practically all the fighting games ever released are using original tracks or have the option. There's more out there, I'm just going from my dvd rack.
You all can call me a purist but to be honest, if you think Johnny Yong Bosch has talent for doing the exact same voice for every single character he's ever played in both animes and video games, you're sadly mistaken.

And really, telling us we're "sadly mistaken" for something could just as easily be turned around your way: "If you think those examples carry any weight, you're sadly mistaken." See? Simple!
I do appreciate Sega giving us an "authentic" experience with Yakuza 2, to say the least; but as it stands, I think those clamoring for Japanese dubbing in a U.S release are very few in number for companies to take into consideration (Read that carefully). They're possibly a niche more deep than people who buy Atlus-published games.
I'm sure your numbers will grow to the point where companies will consider--maybe even include--Japanese dubbing in U.S releases...but right now you aren't in your prime, so you'll have to accept English dubbing.

Hello my friends. First I would like to introduce myself as a brazilian fan of the SMT series and really would like to thank you all for the opportunity of being here. It's really a great pleasure for me. This is my first post and I hope there will be much more.
I received an e-mail from the Atlus's Faithful program and found it interesting. Webisodes give you a piece of the cake, but let you even more hunger. I believe most of the members of this forum don't speak japanese, so, of course, an english version of the game is essential, despite likes and dislikes regarding the VA.
IMHO, Chie's voice changed quite a bit. Where is all that enthusiasm I saw in the japanese videos? I may be wrong, but I think her voice is indeed different.
Anyway, it's nothing I can't get through. Nothing shall stop me of playing this game.

Well, welcome to the forums, I'm relatively new as well. You should post an introduction to yourself in the new members part of the forums.
Anyway, if you notice, Chie's not all that energetic in the Japanese version when she's just talking to people, so what I'm thinking is she will show her high level's of energy. And as I've said a few times before, it's the same voice actress as Yukari in P3, so we can expect a lot of pep from her.

Chie isn't butch, if that's what you're afraid of. She just isn't a Yukari clone, like so many people seem to want her to be.
I actually hadn't thought of her as tomboyish until Inzaghi mentioned it, but now it makes a lot more sense. It's definitely not a typical voice you'd hear, but again I think it's better that way.

Oh well, I wasn't expecting much but.. I'll definitely turn the sound off when playing the game, which is a pity since I think Yuri Lowenthal sounds rather decent as Yosuke. Another thing I think is that it's a damn waste that JYB is only voicing the protagonist, I surely hope he's voicing some other character as well, since his voice really is lovely. <3
Chie sounds way too unsporty and arrogant to me and Yukiko would need a lower and sharper voice, but that's just my opinion.

^ Excuse me, but wtf? JYB's voice is the same in everything he does! Sure, it's ok, but I need diversity. And really, Chie's is definitely not as bad as we all anticipate. We shouldn't judge the way the English voices are based off of their Japanese ones! They're damn fine so far so everyone stfu!
Thank you! IM glad some others don't judge the English VA's based off the japanese counter-parts. They are 2 different languages and aren't meant to best one another
I never said I'm basing my opinion on the Japanese counter-parts, did I? I am just comparing the voices to the character's looks and their characteristics, the VA who voices Chie doesn't sound like she's the sporty and energetic girl. And Yukiko sounds neither elegant nor introverted to me.
Oho, I'm SO sorry for liking JYB's voice. :P Not everyone plays and watched EVERYTHING with him, I liked him ALOT in Devil May Cry 4, besides that, if someone has a talent for voice acting I truly enjoy hearing his/her voice more, I won't whine about hearing him too often. Seriously, do you whine about good actors appearing in too many movies too? I'd really enjoy hearing more voice over jobs done by awesome female VA's like Nicole Fantl and Catherine Taber.

Actually yes. Especially if most of them are bad. But that's just me. It's just that he doesn't even try to change his voice at all for different rolls. I mean so far only Code Geass is when he sounds even a little bit different.
And for Teddie, he doesn't sound as irritating as he could be. Mascot characters are usually butchered but he's quite alright.

The bear puns are a good way to deal with the way Teddie would put "kuma" at the end of his sentences in the JP version. Points to Atlus for a smart solution.

I think people need to realize that the top VA talent in the US works in US productions instead of translations and so top VA talent doesn't find itself in Atlus video games. Tara Strong (Timmy Turner, the orignal Ben 10, Raven, Bubbles, Rikku, etc,etc) isn't showing up, Grey Delise (the new Daphne, Frankie, Mandy, Azula) isn't showing up, Dee Bradley Baker (Klaus, Clone Trooper, every animal imaginable) isn't showing up. Just too may lines and too much money to have them work on it. So they go with people who do anime VA.

I think the voice actors have done a pretty good job this time around. I mean they're not perfect but they sure as hell are better than anime dubs (some dubs are actually good, but really rare). Hell, if was anything like anime dubs, it would kill the game. Dojima is awsome and i think they did a pretty good job with teddie as well, the jap version of teddie (named kuma i think?) was really annoying. Also the thing i like the best, is they pronounce the names correctly! For example they pronounce Yosuke as YO-S-KEH, versus it being yo-SU-keh like they did with Natsuki in P3.

Yeah at first i was like "total mismatch for chie" but the VA does end up growing on you. What won me over was her trial of the dragon DVD, that was so overly dramatic and was funny as hell XD

Hell, the GS I picked my copy of Eternal Poison from had the first trailer for P4 running. Not sure if that makes a difference, but at least it shouldn't be a surprise.
At least, I hope. :?
Hmm, there's a good point there.
Haha. I hope there isnt a problem with the artbook too, but considering the limited amount, somebody is bound to take a hit.
I can see me being the one hit... then taking my frustrations out against the world. XD

Best way to go out: run outside yelling "MEGIDOLA!! BUFULA!!" at people and then shoot yourself in the head while scream "ORPHEUS!"

onlylunch2: Yeah, I agree. Since my chances of getting a persona 4 art book is only 2%. (Haha yeah that small...) :D
Really how come? I mean i know they're a "while supplies last" type of item, but as long as you get your P4 within the first hour of release i think you should be fine.
I'll be in line for the store opening to make sure i get it. If enough people want to see it, i'll upload scans (assuming that its not illegal to do so).
Yep its true, but the problem with me is that I live here in the Philippines and none of those gaming stores Atlus have mentioned are available here. Data Blitz told me that they will only ship an ordinary Persona 4 with a soundtrack CD and they are'nt sure if they would also ship a limited art book. So yeah, thats my story. Sad but what can I do? :)

Honestly, I'd recommend just getting the Official Persona 4 Design Works instead of buying the Atlus USA Artbook from someone on Ebay, cause they'll probably sell it at the same price as the superior Official P4 Design Works.

Argh, not to be impatient or anything but... Whats up with the webisodes?!? I mean by now the game must be completely localized considering the release date is less than 3 weeks away. So whats with the inconsistency of webisode releases? Theres 2 weeks left, and 10 webisodes remaining, therefore put 5 up every friday. I really dont understand the logic of posting a random amount of webisodes at random times. If any of the atlus admins could explain the logic behind it i'd be real grateful.

I haven't watched the recent webisodes yet. I understand how you feel man. Maybe Atlus just wants us to surprise by the last week before release and release all of them. But thats only my theory. I hope they could explain.

I'd say Atlus has bigger fish to fry at the moment with a major release just over two weeks away. Plus, putting stuff up at a specified time likely = server crash.

how so? i doubt that many people visit the official site regularly besides us forum people. and even if the were, a few servers can handle that load
Enzo_Kensei
11-22-2008, 08:24 AM
If I'm not mistaken, Eternal Poison is already out, so is Luminous Arc 2. Only Persona 4 is on its way as of now. Yeah, Atlus also will release Legacy of Ys and My world My way... But the two of them are still due on 2009. So as of now, only the Persona 4 website is really, active. So its most likely that its not about server crash. My opinion. :)

Have you checked the adobe flash in your computer? Sometimes, they need to be updated every now and then. I once tried to watch a video clip on youtube and it saids "video no longer available" but when I updated my flash, I was able to watch it. This is purely an experience though. I'll try to figure out the matter.
