Will Demi-Fiend and Mara have a secret appearance? That would be nice.

For those of you who are freaking out with the Chie and Teddie getting a different voice, chill out. Atlus said they were trying to get everyone back and the best they could was everyone but Chie and Teddie. Also this is the first time hearing Teddie new voice and it may not be final so lets wait and see.

Is that Yosuke imitating Teddie? At least Rise is still Rise.

Yeah, this was my first thought as well.
 
I can definately see people (including me!) having an uncanny valley effect from new Teddie's voice...

@Animasta: I checked out some episodes, I tough they were really bad and the director doesn't give me confidence (I disliked Angel Beats!) and the fact they wanted to show all the social links was also a deal breaker (I want to replay the game and check out the ones that I miss)

No way dude, the anime is in a league all its own, separate from the game. If you cannot differentiate them then you have a crippling lack of imagination! Just look at this fuckin' King's Game! Skip to about 3 minutes 55 seconds in, since embedding doesn't like time tags apparently.

Also, hilarious at the amount of rage. Jesus, Teddie's voice is annoying and different but damn guys, it ain't the end of the world.

Damn, anime Charlie Tunoku is a pimp! The way he orders Chie to sit in his lap... I, uh, greatly enjoyed that. (nosebleed imminent)

Wait, does it actually play the P3 battle music in that scene? I might have to give the series a shot...

As far as references go, the Persona 4 anime reigns supreme and executes them perfectly. I would go so far as to say it is the best example of a games-to-other-media transition ever made.

Also, the ENTIRE ANIME IS AVAILABLE, SUBBED, ON HULU.

They really did a good job at it. It even includes a Galactic Punt(performed on Yosuke) and God Hand(performed on Reaper).

It also does a better job at fleshing out certain characters, ESPECIALLY Mitsuo. Holy shit, the Mitsuo episode. It'll blow your fuckin' mind. So good.

Man, why does everyone think the voice actors are all new? Teddie and Chie are the only new ones, because Atlus couldn't get them! Everyone else is the same VA!

Rise's voice is slightly different! That can only mean one thing!! Are you blind?!!! Or deaf-blind?!!!! The truth is staring you in the face and you deny it!!!!! Everyone has been replaced!!!!!!

I think he means this might have been recorded a long-ass time ago, before the real work started and he got familiar with the character.
 
Admittedly, that's kinda grasping at straws.

EDIT: Considering how prolific Laura Bailey is, and that she isn't even in this trailer, I'm either less worried or waaay more worried.

What are you talking about, dude? That is Laura Bailey voicing Rise, she just isn't pitching her voice as high.

@rudyarr: Actually, the story mode is done by Atlus so it'll be lengthy and all but Chie and Teddie voices actors have returned to reprise their roles, so the Rise in the video is indeed Laura Bailey.

Therr were only two voiced characters in the video, and Rise's voice actor is indeed Laura Bailey. Only Teddie and Chie have been recast.

It seems like the characters from Persona 3 have grown up a bit or simply changed, that's pretty cool. I might get that game even just for the story.

BEAR with me, but does anyone else think that the new voice actor for Teddy is unBEARable. Am I right?
I bet 20 other people have made this joke. Reading these kind of jokes has probably gotten really TEDDious. Zing!

New voice actors pretty rubbish, I hope they include the Japanese voices of them - after watching the anime I've grown used to them.

Man, the one game where I actually give a shit about voice actors returning. Ugh. The one thing that prevented Teddie from annoying the crap out of me was the strength of his old VA.

I don't think I can play this. With all the changed or different voices it feels like a cosplay group dressed as some characters I liked are trying to convince me they're really video game characters.

Easy as A,B,C,D.

I hope it has more than just fighting. I'm not really into fighting games, but if it has some sort of story worth playing for I might be on board since I love the Persona Games.
