[@Namingway248]

Honestly, as talented as the new cast is, I do feel like its pretty unfair to the original cast overall to have just been fully replaced when the vast majority of them are not only still active in the industry but have been doing years worth of spinoffs as these characters. It just feels really disrespectful that, compared to the japanese industry where you lock into your role for life basically, english voice actors get replaced for no actual reason.

They're really doing it to appeal to new age persona 5 fans. Because in my experience, they're probably the worst part of the fandom, and the very large vocal part of the group. So what they want tends to be heard the most.

Aleks as Makoto is downright perfect, he brings the perfect energy and his Pharos voice was so spot on we literally thought it was Yuri, he's gonna do great. Zeno as Junpei is GREAT. Some lines you can barely tell the difference and others he has such great energy I don't even care, definitely looking forward to more of him. Heather as Yukari is also good, noticeably different but again, very similar energy to the original which is good. Alexandro as Akihiko I'm eh on. I see what they're doing but he's too deep, he sounds like he's 17 going on 30. Plus Liam O'Brien's performance is just so iconic, it's going to be hard to live up to. Allegra is PERFECT as Mitsuru. No notes. Suzie is also perfect as Fuuka, she's so cute. And unfortunately Fuuka's acting was the subject of some ridicule in the original ("*gasp* The enemy!") so, nowhere to go but up I suppose, lol. No shade to Paula Tiso but, you know. Justine as Ken... needs work. He sounds way too much like a girl, but maybe these just weren't good examples. If you have a keen ear you could tell he was voiced by a woman in the original too but, at the very least it was a Bart Simpson/Ash Ketchum tier boy voice. Ken just straight up sounds like a girl. Dawn as Aegis I'll have to see more of, I think she's good, but Karen is a tough act to follow, she felt MADE for that role. I hope the clip we hear is post-Moonlight Bridge like people are saying because Aegis without barely ANY robotic intonation just doesn't feel right. Justice as Shinji I like, obviously will have to hear more but I like his take on him. Truth be told Grant as Shinji was sometimes distracting, not only because of his weirdly nasally, almost nerdy voice (which I don't think is bad, always just struck me as an "interesting choice") but also because he voices so many background characters as well, lol. So looking forward to more of Justice. Whoever voices Ikutsuki is... okay. Saying it a lot but gotta hear more, my first impression is that he sounds both less suspicious, but also like the kind of guy who wouldn't crack the puns Ikutsuki is known for, lol. Gonna be weird to get used to but, I'm receptive to it.

[@neymiiie]

my thing is, with the old cast they had THAT certain flair to the delivery. even more so with the male character voices that made it stick. In no way does it take away from the work of the current crew, but in some instances it just comes off as like normal speak for me. I had this kind of view while playing RE 2 remake and feeling like it was just normal speak and not a sick ass delivery. but im thinking this is just something that happens in the west releases. for example the voice of dante in the DMC series- Reuben Langdon was so perfect in its delivery that it stuck for the subsequent games past 3. something thats very in line with the jp side of things. in another media form as an easy example being goku from the dragon ball series. in which it is still nozawa masako. and if im correct in my assumption the jp side of persona 3 reload should still be the og crew set that they had for the original persona 3.

"I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS"

[@lordbauer5983]

HOLY Shinji got such a massive bump up in quality.

[@nunyabissness1]

After watching Aleks Le's SF6 content, it's cool to see 3 of the VA's from that game being apart of this.

[@Syrius_Li]

Allegra Clark just fits so well as Mitsuru

[@willfern1096]

Dude, I swear I didn't noticed some of the voice actors actually changed aside from the most obvious ones, we really need to praise this voice actors

[@quigzahhutt]

i never thought I'd PREFER a new voice over the old one but WOW shinjiro's voice is perfect. it feels more like how I'd imagine his voice to be; the old voice always felt a little off to me im SO hyped for the new cast i think all of them have done an incredible job making it feel like the same characters, but also making the voices something original and new

[@nightwolf235]

Just finished this gem and the dlc and man all the voice actors did well in my book enjoyed the game and I really love this persona game since it was my first one.

[@cobwebinthecorner]

0:47 "Knowing the truth isn't everything" Hey, Yukari? There's this game called Persona 4 that I think would disagree.

[@theadmiral4157]

Akihiko's voice transition is amazing. From a high-school student to a matured adult

[@tanukijohnson6850]

The reload performances make the original look like a fan project

[@ADUSN]

Disrespectful asf

[@starsmashmations4969]

i think they’re really good!! i think they got a slightly better understanding of the characters in reload, as they ironed out some flaws in voices like junpei and mitsuru and completely redid some like Fuuka and Shuji! i also like how they made ken more mature and made aigis sound more robotic yet still human and emotional at the same time. a lot of people seem to have a bit of an issue with akihiko, but i think the deeper voice really fits him and his maturity without sounding as old as some people say (imo).

[@Psychonautt_]

I think the reason why some VAs sound off is because we're so used to them after all these years. I don't hate akihiko's new voice but P3 has so much emotional driven dialogue that until we see those special moments, I think it's a little unfair to judge from just these clips alone.

[@IamJerf]

I love Allegra Clerk, I knew from the start that she would be perfect for voicing Mitsuru and it is spot on

[@Sperkins97]

I really love the new cast. I was afraid I’d miss the old cast too much or that it would be distracting, but the more I play Reload, the more I prefer this new cast.

[@shokenraki6093]

I KNEW IT!! I haven't checked who's the voice actors in the reload but when I saw a clip of Akihiko I immediately knew 1:11 (was literally like why is his voice SO familiar)

[@valsonder]

moral of persona: you cannot escape yuri lowenthal

[@tsvnade]

I will miss Akihiko's voice 😭 "Did ya see that Shinji" will forever be iconic

[@lederp6955]

I cannot wait to hear koromaru's new voice actor

[@RedZekrom913]

This video made me realize that it was Shinji talking at the start of the 1st reload trailer, and after playing the game that's so damn heartbreaking (never played og p3 so I didn't see what happened to him coming)

[@Nyxo1000]

The old cast is iconic... except for fuuka... but the new cast nailed it

[@zavtparticles]

Which is crazy since that was same the lady voiced Haruhi

[@reilly5005]

This new cast is overall pretty hype. Aleks Le, Zeno Robinson, Alejandro Saab, and Dawn M. Bennett are voice actors I’m very fond of and I think they all kill it in their respective roles! It’s also a great excuse to replace Vic and Karen Strassman (Yes I know Karen still voices an NPC but at least she’s not a prominent character anymore)

[@Riftdancer527]

Honestly this cast as a whole has grown on me, i had some reservations originally when i heard about the recasting but with a lot of the trailers popping up and hearing some of their lines im overall satisfied and excited for when the game drops

[@JC21]

I like that they brought some of the old VAs back to voice minor characters. It's like a movie remake or reboot bringing back the old actors for cameos.

[@A_keo]

I’m still a little on the fence about Akihiko cause Liam O’Brien is so iconic in this role, but Alejandro Saab is a great voice actor so I trust that he’ll do a good job. It’ll probably just take a bit of getting used to

[@Kirgo_Furuey]

Both Akihiko and Shinji sound way older than they actually are, they sound like they're in their 30 when they're both still in high school.

[@noone-xd6ie]

The only ones I have slight problems with is Akihiko cause old Aki is just too perfect and I can't see anyone else saying his iconic line, Ken because idk for me he doesn't sound much like a kid like in the original but it could just be because of the clip used but overall the cast is pretty solid.

[@Lucifronz]

You know... I think changing *all* the main cast instead of just recasting a few or redoing lines was probably the right call. I'm typically against these kinds of changes, but expanding content is difficult while still using old voice actors or trying to get them back. If even one person doesn't come back, the whole game feels wrong whenever they're present. Also the fact that they kept on the voice actors and didn't "replace" them so much as redistributed them through the game, while a little weird (because you'll hear their voice coming out of the wrong person's mouth), makes it much easier to accept for me because I don't feel like the old cast is being disrespected by being tossed aside for amateurs. I don't think all of the voices are great, Ken sounds a bit strange to me, but it's only because of how unique his original voice is so any changes are going to be odd. Yet I do think most of the voices are pretty good, at least from these clips alone. I could live with this. As opposed to Persona 4 Golden which royally fucked some lines and changed the tone of one or two characters too much (Chie mostly, but also Shadow Teddie... blech), I think there's so much going on here that I won't fixate on the flaws as much when/if I decide to play this. Yeah... I can definitely live with this. Smart call.

[@elscud.]

Alejandro should've made Akihiko's voice a little higher. Closer to his original voice. I wonder if he decided to go that route or he was directed to be that way? Still love him as Cyno.
