Dual Audio Concern

[Sebastian]

In the original release of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, I was massively displeased with how the dual audio was handled. Basically, if you set the audio to Japanese, it would only be for the battles. Menus, match-up, results screen, and other voices in the game were still in English. Now, since the original release, ATLUS has gotten a lot better about releasing their games with fully functional dual audio but I remain concerned about how it will be handled in the new release. If this is merely a straight port of P4AU2 with the original content from the console release of the game, then this issue will persist and it will need external modding to correct. Let's hope that ATLUS fixed this, because I don't personally want to be locked with only having the original intended audio for the game in the actual battles.

I'd like that aspect to be fixed too, but for ATLUS it wouldn't be exactly a priority unless a lot of people wants it.

The store page claims full audio for both English and Japanese. If it is the same as the PS3 and Xbox360 release, that will be false advertising on their end.

It was really disappointing going from the original P4A that had full dual audio to P4AU and not being able to play the story there with the real voices. That was done for some pretty cynical reasons apparently. I know the region locking of P4AU was ALL region, so I guess they didn't want Japanese players buying the game for cheaper from overseas. Pretty disgusting.

But P4A OG does show that full Dual Audio is possible for this game, so they have even less reason to not include it.

ANyone find out on this? I remember that P4A normal on ps3 had japanese dialogue but the dlc for P4AU that contained P4A normal was english only. this'll decide whether i buy the game or not if i can go through the entire story with Japanese Dialogue i'm sold.

Full Japanese audio is included this time around, but there's still a major issue.
If you play online with someone using English audio, their characters will be in English.
