Persona (Series) | P3P Physical Release

[Moonface]

Since I know there's a few Persona fans here and Persona 3 Reload was announced recently and got some interest, I figured I'd make a general thread for the Persona series so there's a more focused place to talk about the games as well as any of the news for Persona 3 Reload or any other Persona projects.

Not sure what brought the release of this about but a new trailer dropped today featuring gameplay footage in the English dub of the game:



Judging by the video description I guess the English dub is getting a new voice cast, but maybe that was already confirmed and I've just forgotten that detail.

Well, I would hope there's a new voice cast, considering Vic Mignogna originally voiced Junpei...

The gameplay footage is neat, but this game is still a hard no from me until they add the Answer. I'm sorry, but that's non-negotiable. DL can disagree all they want; the Answer is THE ending to Persona 3, and is important to a good deal of the characters, especially Aigis, whom I actually like, thank you very much!

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. Yeah, even if the rest of the cast reprised their roles (although that seems pointless to re-record lines unless new lines are being added or the original voice acting wasn't as good as it could be now) he would definitely need to be replaced.

Turns out the voice cast was revealed a few weeks ago for the English dub so here's the lineup for anyone who doesn't know the full cast: https://www.escapistmagazine.com/all-voi...-3-reload/

Yeah, new English VAs were confirmed when the game was originally announced. Thankfully there should be JP audio, since the new English cast is a bunch of no-name scrubs (well, any English voice cast is bad, but this case is even worse) compared to some of the VAs they had in the original.

Also I believe the trailer was released for Anime Expo.

I want the soundtrack CD, but nothing else in the S.E.E.S Edition looks all that attractive... But I really, really want that CD.

I'll definitely be ordering a PS4 copy regardless.

Fun fact: They'll also be releasing physical copies of Persona 4 Golden as well, with pre-orders for that one coming in October.

Do you still use CD's and/or use limited edition ones like these or do you want it mostly for collection purposes? Curious since people using CD's feels like a rarity to me these days.
