Is it really so hard to gives us dual audio? Even as DLC? It's way overdue with these games.

I thought dual-audio was unlikely, so not surprised, though still a little disappointed. Especially with such an all-star Japanese cast in the game.

That said, I am looking forward to seeing who they get for the English dub of P5.

That's what I'm curious about. Are the stipulations of getting the original Japanese audio really that complicated compared to anime? There seems to always be a case-by-case situation in every video game title.

Eh, it would've been nice for it to have Japanese audio, but I can live with this. Atlus already knew I was going to buy it anyway, and plunk down the extra cash for the super special edition (I don't recall P3 or P4 having that, well, maybe P3 did, but I didn't discover it until P3FES)

Now I can't hear Rina Satou as my waifu, Makoto. Time to import.

Why? It should be so easy and I doubt the game is so large there's no place on the disc. There just inviting people to import too.

Reverse importations be damned, if the game makers are not willing to have dual audio, I think they shouldn't really be complaining about piracy/copyright infringement.

Hopefully they either drop the honorifics or actually use them properly then.
I still find it funny that IFI can manage to include Japanese audio but Atlus can't, despite IFI being years younger.

I ain't even mad. I really liked the voice acting for the third and fourth one. They put real effort into it. Same with Catherine.

Dang it! I did not want to hear that with this voice cast ... not cool. They need to offer it as DLC.

And yeah, I was happy with Persona 4, but come on!

I think this is cause censorship has become a popular thing these days. The japanese script must have something degrading to women, violence or just violence around teenagers.

I highly doubt it.

If I had to bet I would say that it was a licensing issue. The only reason they would not keep it is because no one was willing to pony up the cash for the licensing of all the Japaense VAs on top of paying the English VAs. It was most certainly a licensing issue, it usually is when it comes to these things.

It's going to English audio only because of licensing issues. Don't be so quick to make Atlus USA as the big bad wolf. Bringing over Dual Audio is very difficult. Here's a link that explains the difficulties.
