Voice acting and dialogue is totally fine

[xShapelessx]

lmao you people are hilarious

BTW this game is absolutely amazing

I dont speak Japanese. Why the ♥♥♥♥ would I play in Japanese? I don't care. The game is fantastic and am completely fine with the English voice acting and dialogue. I am 100% convinced the people complaining, are elitists of some kind and are of the extreme.

Do you think every classic snes or ps1 jrpg had perfect english translation? Ever played PERSONA 1?! ALSO, WHO THE HELL IS ACTUALLY GOING AND READING THROUGH THE ORIGINAL JAPANESE DIALOGUE AND COMPARING SCENES? THAT IS TOTALLY INSANE.

I don't think some of you have jobs

like to be honest with you i didnt see the alleged mistranslations until a little bit ago and the "rub a dub dub" part is the only Eh part but then again the original japanese text is just as cringe with her going "出ろ、出ろ、出ろ” while fiddling with a lense. the rest are just a bunch of people mad its not a literal translation again. also half of these are Wrong or the translator's personal takes which dont even flow well when spoken allowed in english. For instancee he argues a better translation for one of these scenes is "Oh? You've got a lense too, Nowa? Fu-Fuuun... And I..." but who talks like that? The second sentence is redundant. Japanese language is structured that way so that it wouldn't be redundant, you don't need to include that in your english translation.

I'm getting the impression the writing was inherently bad to begin with. Then you get a bunch of dorks who wear fox tails to work localizing it.

It's the perfect ♥♥♥♥ storm.

Yeah, a lot of Lian's lines are very cringe to me. But it makes it even more worthwhile then to see her cheerful seriousness in a later scene. She really just seems like a happy-go-lucky person who doesn't care about your boundaries.

Modifying dialogue to change thew writers intent, or characters personalities has never been acceptable. And littering the script with modern-sounding zoomer speak and meme lingo is certainly not acceptable.

Just because you have no standards doesn't mean we don't.

What the ♥♥♥♥ are you on about? So you go and read the entire Japanese script before playing a game and if the translation is altered you wont touch the game? KLMFAO

You are making yourselves sound absolutely absurd and none of you even ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ know Japanese. As usual, most of the complainers ARE AMERICAN

My post wasn't hard to understand. Try again, but fire up that burned potato chip between your ears.

The Japanese version doesn't do it. The EN version shouldn't do it.

There are differences pointed out online, but nothing crazy and everyone is 100% overreacting and acting as if no other jrpg has ever undergone changes during translation. These people have not played Persona 1

These people are activists with a political agenda, but unlike the SJWs that criticized gender dynamics in gaming years ago, these guys conceal their agenda by constantly claiming that they are anti-political. They do this because their agenda continuously fails to gain traction, and over time they have been spiraling very loudly into obscurity and despair, finding more and more minute things to complain about that seem ever more comical and absurd to people with normal brains.

So far every line I've seen criticized as "political" is such a stretch that it calls more into question the critic's reading comprehension than the localizer's politics. It's also very funny when people say "so far there have been more than a dozen changes to the script found" when this game probably contains as much text as a novel.

It's worth noting that, while their presence on the discussion forums appears to be strong, they will absolutely get bored and move on once they've been overtaken by people actually discussing the game they've been playing. We're on day two and it's already happening. The best thing you can do is disengage from them and enjoy the game.

Been playing it for five + days since I'm a backer and grabbed the code even before Saturday actually, but sure, if you want to make up some story in your head to dismiss other people's opinions instead of arguing constructively... go ahead. It just makes you seem like the one that's wrong.

But yea, also, obviously people are going to move on. That also doesn't mean the complaints are invalid.

Right?

These people dont even speak japanese or read it. Also, the concept that someone would go seek out the ORIGINAL dialogue script, just to read it before playing to make sure the...translation is perfect...is beyond weird and totally absurd

Doesnt anyone have school or a job lol. How are they focusing on that

The complaints are invalid when they are absurd yes

I dont like woke narrative at all and this game isnt even that guilty of this

Just calling it absurd isn't an argument It's being dismissive.

Not trying to sound elitists, but I did pick up a thing or two... because I know something about voice acting and sound design.

One thing I did notice is that from the 'younger' counter parts the voice actors did seem to go overboard when to over-acting their voices (compared to other material). Just being realistic on the matter, not trying to critisise is, But it shows, once you try to push your vocal chords in that direction, just to get that beat...

My ears can tell, it is an act.

And by that I mean, it disconnects with me. And sure, this can be a direction. To just add, I love most of the direction where this game is going for (I mean, with all the internet stuff going on, I have to defend myself all the time now),

But like I said, this a direction 'they' went for, and it doesn't resonate with me from time to time.

Just as a reference, Liam or Mellone (that magician you get early in the game I forgot her name to be honest). These are the first two voices I could think about... If I had a dozen of concrete, I would drop you in a big hole, and sink her... Not that I would really do that, but I think you get the point.

But that is partially the issue with this. It is a part of personal taste.

what you like, and what you don't.

I am enjoying the game, there are just some hickups on the road. If this will be fixes, only time will tell.
