Liking dubs makes you xenophobic!
Over on the Atlus USA message boards, a user by the name of "Dilandau01" makes a post asking if the US version of Persona 3 will have the Japanese voices intact. First few replies are the video game standard of "it'd be nice, but it'd take up a lot of room, so...probably not," and "as long as the voices we do get are good, who cares"
P3 without the original japanese VA sounds like a complete joke to me after comleting the japanese version of this masterpiece.
@VyersLives
You can't be really serious to try to compare the english dub of DDS with a superior VA of P3 ? It's nor even 1/4 that much VA compared to P3.
ATLUS should really do what is best for the fans of this series and tho original VA ist the best we can get. A dub is just some kind of cheap option for people who are too lazy to read subtitles.
But because we all know how ATLUS handle things we'll have no other choice but to buy the japanese version of this masterpiece.
Why not release the standard version and a special edition with japanese VA. You'd be surprised how much people will buy it.
And then it explodes. We have picspam, we have Atlus employees wanking right in there with the best of them, we have claims that Japan, Crispin Freeman, and StillCrazy all suck the big one...and then. On page 2, angryeuropean (and boy is he!) shows up, claiming that the reason he is angry is because Americans argue over the Japanese language in video games.
He states:
That pisses me off to see Americans bitching about Japanese dialogue, here in Europe most RPG's are released with the American dub, and sometimes ONLY WITH ENGLISH TEXT!!! So apart from English people, the rest of Europe is screwed!!! How is that fair???!!! Yet you %*!%**! complain because you don't want to listen to a foreign language while you ALWAYS have your games text translated???!!!
and
Since when have most Americans been avid watchers of foreign movies?!!? Wow, you learn something new everyday!!Only 3 percent of movies released in the US are foreign!! Same for books!
Also there are countries where quite a lot of people PREFER subtitled versions, in Portugal, Northern Europe countries, Japan etc. Just because the sounds of foreign languages are grating to your ears doesn't mean that less closed minded people are elitists!!! The people who hate original versions are just lazy (and xenophobes sometimes)!!!! In the countries where they don't dub, people are used to it and don't hate it!!!
I'm still trying to figure out what the exclamation mark ever did to him.
It's small, but very wanky. And only promises to grow. Much like Atlus' fandom in general.
Edit: Mustang taisa shows up to say
"For me, translation is just as bad as cesoring. I can't bear someone judging what I can or cannot see or someone interpreting stuff for me. It makes me feel like an idiot.
In my view, games, just like animes, are art. If you're interested in foreign art you should learn about it, and learn to understand it.
If you need someone or something to tell you what's going on, then you shouldn't be watching/playing this in the frist place. Learn to think by yourself frist.
I can undertand the opposite point of view, and maybe I'm too hardcore for the general public, so that's why i think there should be an alternative audio option. If the game takes a full DVD5, use a DVD9."
She's totally too punk rock forThe Real World English.
