Aha! Is This Our Chance (to Find Out How to Play Persona 4 Arena)?

@maragidyne: Yup, actually Yosuke is the character being voiced by YurI Lowenthal.

Old news, but, uh, Teddie's not Lowenthal. He sounds nothing like him. It's apparently Sam Riegal.

I love Persona series. But a fighting game? Really? And they are fighting each other instead of shadows? I just don't think I can accept this.

IF VINNY AND JEFF DON'T QL THIS WHEN THEY CAN, I WILL BE SO SO SO SO SO SAD.

Uhhh... I thought they were getting the original VA for the anime dub... why didn't they get them for this, too?

They announced that without actually checking with the cast first.

The change of voice actors is a deal breaker unfortunately.

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.

There's a lot of story in this game. Translation deadlines were a pain.

But in the end, it's a really damn good looking fighting game, so you know what you're in for.

What the fuck. WHERE ARE THE ORIGINAL VOICE ACTORS?!?!?1

Do you guys ever look at the forums or news? Chie and Teddie are getting new voices due to the originals not being available. Everyone else is coming back.

No. No I do not.

Also, that is not a valid excuse. I'm starting a kickstarter to start a petition for original Teddie voice acting.

Looks good! I'm definitely interested in this title. I don't think that the new voices are all that bad.

Need a Vinny/Jeff Quick Look of this!

This is weird.

And... while I liked the dude that's replacing Teddy's voice in Psychonauts- in this that voice doesn't fit as well as they think it does.

This is why you cant do sequels so long after. You cant get the original actors or some other changes happen and nothing sounds right and the target audience notices haha

If that new Teddy voice was ok, it'd be fine, but that new Teddy voice is bad.

Really hope this game does really well.

Is that Rise's original voice actor? She is one of my favorites (did the female voice in Saints Row 3, Kaine in Nier, new Angela in SH2 recast) and that...doesn't sound like her to me. I might just be going crazy after Teddie was so off.

Chie's character model looks off too. This is one weird game.

But why are they all fighting each other?

Did we walk in on Chie cheating on us with Yosuke (while Teddie sat in the corner watching) ?

That's not Teddy... THAT'S NOT TEDDY!

Nooooo!

Why is Charlie beating on Chie?! This is all wrong!

Also, this is Jojo's bizarre Adventure reskinned, I'm soo down.

What the fuck. WHERE ARE THE ORIGINAL VOICE ACTORS?!?!?1

Still trying to think of a good email notification noise? That SP sound sure had me reaching for something.

@Makoma: They said only Chie has a new voice actress

Easy as A,B,C,D.

Oh man this looks like fun.

Beating Kanji until his nose bleeds takes on an entirely different meaning in P4A.

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.

That did not sound like Laura Bailey to me. And new Teddie is game breaking.... bleh.

@Jeff: JEFF GERSTMANN FOR SBO 2012!

(It's like the EVO of Japan)

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.

Teddie sounds different and bad, but it won't really matter to most people at the end of the day.

I actually like Rise's voice at that pitch better, but Teddie sounds awful.

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

@Seroth: what the fuck! why change it? this games voice acting for teddy, is pretty shit, but Chie not sounding the same, way to ruin it completely.

 
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!

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.

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.

And I lost all interest in the game.

But you haven't heard the new Chie yet.

@Brodehouse

HAHAHAHAHA Teddy wasn't that annoying in P4.

Different voice actor.

Kinda sucks but whatever

What the fuck? Teddy better not sound like this in Persona 4 Golden.

Uhhh... I thought they were getting the original VA for the anime dub... why didn't they get them for this, too?

What?

kinda bummed out that those are not the same voice actors. I guess with it being a fighting game there won't be much talking anyway except for the small cutscenes they have

@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.

I may be in the minority, but I feel like this is a pretty cool fighting system.

These weird voices better not show their ugly face in P4:G

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!

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

@mutha3: I deleted that because it got to the point where I recognized her again.
