I'm about 1/3 of the way through, and loving it. I was dreading the localization, as I've heard how laughably bad it is, but I find that's not the case at all. I mean, there are a lot of F-bombs dropped all over the place, which I guess is not very Japanese, but then the Japanese way of subtly insulting your enemy might not carry a lot of weight in the West. Either way, disregarding the actual script, the specific voice performances are top notch, by every character I've come across so far; I'd say on par with Persona 3/4. Fun fact: Majima is voiced by Mark Hamill, and he absolutely kills it. "Kazuma is my friend! I'm the only one who gets to kill him!" Very Joker like, not surprisingly.
Love the game. The only thing that was frustrating me was the stiff and inflexible fighting system, especially when you're surrounded and can't change directions mid-combo. Thankfully I've unlocked a backwards attack that have made the combat scenarios a lot more manageable.
Anyway, just wanted to pipe up and let anybody on the fence know that they shouldn't let rumors about "bad voice acting" keep them from this game.
