Some good news though.

"To compensate for the later release date, Atlus will include Japanese audio alongside the international release. It will be available as free downloadable content, according to a post on the PlayStation Blog. The English-language version was originally going to launch without Japanese vocal options, so this alteration should appease some otherwise disappointed fans. Atlus is also giving away a free Persona 5 PS4 theme for the next 24 hours as a bonus."

Please edit this into the OP!

Also Free PSN Theme for the next 24 Hours only: https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/games/avatars/persona-5-ryuji-sakamoto-special-theme-avatar-set/cid=UP2611-CUSA05877_00-THEMEBUNDLE00002

That's fantastic news to me!
Although I had faith in the English voice cast from what I heard so far, I already know I love the Japanese cast. Jun Fukuyama (Lelouch) is one of my all time favorites.

That is good news. I play with Japanese voices and subs most of the time when given the choice. As stated earlier, the English VO in Persona has been well done.

I can't dispute the fact that JP audio is a good thing to have available, but Eng VA for Persona 3 onwards is wonderful, IMO.

Looking for that theme, I also noticed that P3/P4 are $4 as PS2 classics.

Yeah I edited this in just after you replied to me:
"Although I had faith in the English voice cast from what I heard so far, I already know I love the Japanese cast. Jun Fukuyama (Lelouch) is one of my all time favorites."

Morgana for example sounds very much like her Japanese counterpart, and I think that was a great direction for that character so that's a big plus.
The only English Persona voices I haven't liked before are Fuuka from P3, and (sadly) Yukiko in P4. Ami Koshimizu did a great job as Yukiko though.
But overall, Atlus tend to cast the characters really well, and from what I've heard so far, I wasn't worried. But this is great.

Thanks for the theme! Wonder how I managed to miss it, really.

Yukiko... yeah. As far as P4 voices go, she's one of the weaker ones, Yosuke (Yuri Lowenthal, I guess?) being the one to beat. Loved Lelouch in JP VA back in 2009 when I watched CG, but I think I am still gonna go with eng on this one. I wasn't born with the English language, but I am happy to have acquired it, and it is my preffered language to use in games... However, sometimes JP VA is just so good that I go for that instead (Disgaea has the best JP VA in gaming, I would say).

Damn, Atlus. Get your shit together. Persona 5 has been a development shit show, and now they can't even get the localization out in time. This is one of the worst development cycles I've seen past the extreme examples of decade long delays and development restarts.

how?



At least I can actually buy it now that it comes with proper voiceover
Atlus getting with the times



I'm speechless :-&  
I feel for western persona fans.



I want to say at least we are getting japanese dub, but it should be the standard.
Fuck this. I wanted it on valentines in case I don't have a gf by then.
