english or japanese voices?
honestly I was fine with p3 and p5 in japanese but I actually can't stand it in this game

P4's English cast is too good to the point where the japanese one is just actually worse in comparison

i prefer the english ones, they are just so well done to me and feel natural

I also prefer the English dub, although i wish they kept the ps2 voice actor for Chie

English dub for P4 is great but falls in quality during some events added by Golden, Kanji's VA in particular doesn't do too well in those additional scenes.

The Japanese VAs are more consistent in quality but i personally can't handle Teddie's/Kuma's voice.

Both are great overall tho, really depends on your preference.

Japanese
tbh i feel more vibe in Yukiko's ♥♥♥ voice like it shows more of her character
I like the English dub way over the original Japanese because I sincerely hate Rise's and Yosuke's voice, but then again, that's just me.

Careful criticizing Troy Baker, he might get *annoyed* at you (I wish I was joking).
Love to the people that recognize Chie's Golden VA as being total ♥♥♥♥ though!

Both versions have great acting. This is one of the rare cases which most people can agree that, pound for pound, the English dub is more or less as good as the original Jaoanese track.

The Japanese voice tracks do have noticeable audio artifacts, however, so keep that in mind. Something else to keep in mind is that the subtitles are for the English dub and nit the Jaoanese track. I speak both languages, so it bothers me when a character says something in Japanese but the subtitles reflect entirely different dialogue.

Well then he should've done a better job.
Either him or the voice director messed up, since he sounds like he's still doing a first take rehearsal during some of the Golden sub-plot scenes. Maybe the guy's just not being paid enough or something.

It's definitely different, but the new one fits her personality better imo... The older VA just makes her sounds too mature.
Whichever one, as long as you enjoy the game! :p4g_smiling:

Disagree hard on the Chie.

The old one sounded energetic and bouncy, it fit quite naturally and I loved her energy in general.

The new one sounds like a forty-something woman who's chainsmoked all her life and either mistakes or was told SCREAMING IS PEPPY YEAH!
New Chie *constantly* yells her lines with faux-enthusiasm. It's distracting and annoying and just does not fit X_X.

As far as Japanese voices go the only 2 in P4G that I found annoying playing Persona Q2 was Rise and Teddie. Both of those voices I found very annoying at times. The rest of the voices were not that bad. The English voices are very well done imo as far as P4G goes.

I think you have it backwards. The OG Chie sounded like she was between 30-40 years old with no emotion at all while the new voice had a lot of emotion.

Apart from where I *most definitely do not* have it backwards.
There is far more derision of the new Chie than the old one.
Feel free to look it up.

Bad quality, old video, not mine, etc.
That clueless overacting is present on most of new Chie's deliveries.

Edit : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5Kq0tge4HQ

Better video with more voice lines & includes JP VA

The OG had no emotion at all during the critical scenes in the game like the stuff after rescuing Yukiko and stuff that lead up to Nanako's palace.
