Stinks for those who wanted it but it doesn't effect me, would have never used it even if it was an option, same for every game/anime.
Really liking the gameplay trailers and Morgana seems to be voiced by Christina Morris so Atlus is already off to a great start with the dub 
---------------- I can't believe people are seriously trying to think the reason could in anyway shape or form have to do with Atlus not bringing over the Japanese dub because it might contain "questionable" topics.... I don't like the many cut/altered things Nintendo and some other companies do but is this seriously what people are leaping to now? |

So why isn't this an issue with anime? ( serious question ) I don't think I've ever bought an anime on disc that wasn't dual audio. |

I am not the least bit surprised by this. In fact, no one should be. Atlus don't include Japanese audio with their games. People should have accepted that by now.
Also that sounds a lot like Cassandra Lee Morris. She was in Dancing All Night, so this wouldn't be her first appearance in a Persona game.
Censorship is not on the rise. In fact these days we're getting more weird uncensored Japanese stuff coming our way than ever before. Even when a game does get censored it's usually something really trivial blown out of proportion by tin foil hats. The whole grand 'EssJayDoubleYoo conspiracy' is a load of crock. |

Well, I'll just wait for the eventual Steam release then. Fair enough.

A lot more anime companies are requiring US anime discs to make it impossible to remove subtitles during the Japanese audio track to make it less appealing to reverse import. |

Not surprised at all. I don't Atlus USA has ever released a mainline Persona game with dual audio. I'm fine with it but it definitely sucks for JP voice purists. That said, it's likely they could release it as DLC later on.
Very informative post from XSEED that explains some of the licensing difficulties with dual audio. And I especially like the last part: bottom line, if you're going to "vote with your wallet," as it were, please make sure you know what you're voting FOR. By not supporting games that publishers had no choice but to dub, you're not sending the message that you want fewer dubs... you're sending the message that you want fewer games of that type released in English, period. And I'm pretty sure that's NOT the message you're trying to send. |

There's a chance you can still hear her as an angsty chick with a demon arm, dressed in rags and belts instead. |

@SquadmemberRitsu @littlegreenwolf @Dellore
Why are these type everywhere trying to die down the flames? This isn't an anime they're selling for $40 compared to Japan's $300 - $450 home video release. This is a $60 game that you can buy roughly for $60 in Japan. Altus is doing this for Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE right now. They are hiding cleavage with the bosses and characters, increasing the age of underage characters in the translation, changing the clothes of female characters for more clothing and not releasing the dlc for swimsuits and the Hot Spring Scenario DLC. So how can you not say they aren't doing the same for Persona 5? Why isn't this a bigger deal for everyone? I can understand half naked women not being everyone's thing, but I can't be the only one. Also, half naked women or "flawed" women are not a bad thing for story-telling, instead trying to put all males and all females at a level of perfection and standards is a bad thing for story-telling. There should be NO boundaries for great and diverse story-telling. |

Actually the exact message to send by not buying this would be saying that we do not support locking out Japanese audio. That's what I'll be doing. When there's a Steam release then even if it's still English locked audio, it will be almost immediately patched for Japanese audio. When that happens then I'll vote with my wallet by buying the product. That neogaf poster couldn't be more wrong.

Not to mention that's for a Nintendo console. Different story altogether.

@SquadmemberRitsu
Atlus is doing it for Nintendo and opening the shirt for male characters and closing it for the females. I would isn't showing diverse interests and fairness for everyone. |

@Megiddo
The only message they read are these: "You support child porn" "You're sexist" "Children play this you sickos" "I'm offended and hurt by your game" Everything else is ignored. |

How do you figure that? It's not like there is a separate list of sales made that show that people aren't buying because of a lack of an audio option. All that it shows is that the game didn't sell. Period. They're not going to see some low sales and think it's because of some arbitrary reason as that. Atlus, and any other company, will just see low sales as people not wanting the game at all and that will in turn make them not want to go ahead and release any others in the future. You think that you're sending the message of not liking locked out audio but that's because you are the one that came up with that reason/message. |

Probably because it only actually affects a few games, the changes are extremely minor, and frankly half the time the end product is superior to the original, not worse? Also because the conspiracy to cause these outcomes only exists in your mind. |
