With all the P4 remake talks today, I’m wondering if they’re gonna use og or Golden as the base. Also if they do another English VA overhaul for the remake fans aren’t gonna take it well 😶😶

Comments

Who knows on the VA department. I don’t see why P4 would need recasts but maybe to keep in line with P3R they would. The original cast is iconic so if things do change it’s gonna take getting used too
Especially cause ever since P4 Arena they’ve been consistent with the English voices staying the same
The original cast also returned for BBTAG so there’s really no reason to not get them back for this but time will tell
was it announced? or just rumored?

personally i think it's pointless w/ p4g on everything & with everything you could ask for in p4g

(idrc for remakes in general, it's usually saved money for me)
Rumored. The same domain that confirmed P3R got put up now for P4 called P4RE
same domain? mystic distance is back? :P
Midori strikes back
Feel like itd have to be Golden considering how the original ends vs golden’s
Ye also unlike P3 with the Answer, the Golden content is baked into the main game. So you can’t really separate it as easily
It also would feel like an inferior version honestly, like you get a remake but its of the og which is missing lots of important story context. Why pay 70 for that when Golden is dirt cheap and has a complete story?
I want to think they will use Golden. I see using P4 akin to using P5 instead of Royal in 2025
Yeah using Golden would make the most sense
I'd bet they'll use Golden as the base. As for the VAs, yeah you have my agreement. If they change Dojima's great vegetables I riot.
When that scene shows up and Dojima says cool veggies instead
Mfw
I imagine they'd use Golden, though it's partly me wanting Marie to be in if they do make it.

I hope they'd keep the current cast and just recast Rise VA (i.e. Alexis Tipton) since they can't use Laura/Ashly, instead of EVERYONE. I don't know why P3R did that despite the OG cast being IN THE GAME.
Also, I really don't for one second believe that they decided it'd be easier for P3R to "recast everybody" instead of just recasting Junpei. That doesn't feel like it'd make rational sense.
Not using Golden would be incredibly dumb. It isn't like Persona 3, where Fem Avatar was optional and meant writing the game twice, or FES, whose epilogue story mode was a foreseeable DLC.

Not using Golden would be like re-releasing Persona 5 for Switch 2 and PS6 without Royal content.
Yeah especially cause with how Golden content got baked into the main game, it’s hard to justify removing that completely
Seven words: Golden is already on Steam and Switch.

If they did that incredibly stupid movement: it would be like choosing the prettier game in comparison to the most complete game.

And it isn't like finishing P3R, buying Portable for Steam and then replaying it with the fem avatar.
If we’re talking content wise it’ll have to be Golden given that ending, despite how some people will feel about that version compared to the original

VA wise, I’m expecting the same as Reload, which is gonna be both cool and weird given how iconic some VAs are for the characters they reprise
Yeah like JYB and Yuri not being there for Yu, Yosuke, and Adachi would be jarring for sure. Reload worked out nicely for the most part so we’d just have to wait and see who’s casted for them
Sega would most likely ask atlus for a recast since it worked out for reload
If it happens it’s gonna feel so wrong not hearing Johnny Yong Bosch as Yu or Adachi
Yukiko not being voiced by amanda win lee is gonna feel wrong same with no yuri lowenthal
i just hope whoever does the voice over will be doing a good job
personally, im not planning to buy the p4 remake, so it wont be of any consequence but for those who do, i want them to have their best experience
