An interesting info about the localization of the game. Turns out that all map NPCs were voiced by two people (In the Japanese version) making for some odd conversation with them so it understandable to not voice them allowing for less to spend on voicing and better game experience.

Weird, but not totally bad. At least it's not as severe as some of the Tales Of Games and their lack of English voice acting in parts (Legendia especially).

Sad to know that H. Jon Benjamin and Hynden Welch won't be voicing every NPC in this game. (I like to imagine that's how it would happen if Atlus actually did voice all the map NPCs.)

The fact that they cut it seems pretty fucking stupid.

Thats not a valid reason, we can just 1-up then by getting Nolan North to cover all NPC's!

But that would mean the Bomb Squad would have to bring back the Northies one last time.

That's not bad at all, I don't need all of my characters voiced.
