I'm actually surprised we're even getting it this late into 3DS's life at all. They skipped Persona 2: Eternal Punishment on PSP so I thought it could be another scenario like this. In an ideal world both Strange Journey Redux and this would have gotten an English dub over just Japanese voice track but what can you do? Still playing it.
Pretty sure the costs weren't viable to bring on everyone for a late 3DS game. This update is just affirming what we know.
Don't know how they did in the west but they still got all the English voice actors back.
Are you saying they should stop dubbing their games?
Hell yeah preoder confirmed.
Please come out physical for Europe. Else I'll just import I guess

That would be even better ! (even if Strange Journey was the SMT that would've been logical to have an English dub for)
No, but if the choice was between sub only and not getting it at all I'd prefer actually playing it. This is much better than the P2EP situation.
As I said earlier I'm glad for people who are actually going to play it.
I won't say I'd rather it not come out because I know others will play it. But for me personally it doesn't matter because I'm not getting it until it's on sale then.
Definitely agreed. Though I thought the issue with P2EP wasn't that it didn't make sense economically, but that maybe possibly they lost the code and/or Atlus Japan didn't want to do it. I know there's never been a definitive statement on why P2EP PSP never came out here, these are all guesses the community has made and I thought someone from Atlus USA said it wasn't because they thought it wouldn't be profitable.
Not sure if I'll get it, I'm an Etrian Odyssey and SMT/Persona fan but I found Q1 to be lacking.
Can't wait for EO Nexus at least, we're so close.

You say like if Atlus operates with rationality. That's why I like them I guess lol
I'm still sad about P2 EP situation :(
Yeah it's always been a non-answer, and definately sucks. Even though they pushed out Gungnir and Growlanser so late on, I always figured that they didn't want to ssy "PSP has too much piracy - not worth" on their statement.
Christ, some real salty posters in this thread. Where's that "Dancing 3DS w/ Crying Girl" gift when I need it?
And that's my last 3DS game. No dub isn't really surprising considering they've stopped doing dubs for the 3DS games. They gave one to EO5 for some reason? But not Strange Journey.
If I can get the Koromaru plush edition in Europe I will. Either way I'm buying this day 1 because this will be a low as hell print run.

In regards to no Dub, Atlus released a statement
Don't forget the PS Vita. They fully supported it (to some capacity still do with P3D/P5D and who knows what else possibly). I think they went on record stating that the PS Vita will never die. So if true, they will continue developing for that.
This is a good point.
I wonder what is the proportion of native english vs non-native for those complaining about the lack of subs.
Reminds me of a similar thread a few months ago where some people complained about subs because they had to read the screen and couldn't follow the action at the same time (paraphrasing). Most people that spent their life in non-english speaking countries are used to this kind of stuff though, and there's absolutely no issue watching something with subs, seeing what is on the screen and what is written at the same time.
Oh I am definitely interested in that game as well. I just really enjoyed Persona Q with its crossover nature (even though I haven't played Persona 3 so was unfamiliar with those characters)
We've known it's a 3DS only game since it was revealed, what's the point of all this complaining?
No dub is a shame but it's a hell of a lot better than not getting it at all.

Indie studios can afford to port and dub their games no matter how small. Meanwhile atlus can only release this game on 3ds without a dub as well, and this is pretty uncharacteristic for a modern Persona title, spin-off or not. strange journey didn't have v/o with its original DS release, so that was somewhat understandable, can't remember if Radiant Historia got a dub for its re-release. And don't get me started on Catherine Full body not getting a full release on PC in favor of Catherine classic and skipping Switch in favor of Vita, or the lack of info on SMTV and the new P5 game.
Atlus has always been such a headache of a company.
There's a big difference of budget between the voice cast of 3 persona games combined and an indie game.
This post is pointless.
This a niche dungeon crawler on the 3DS in 2019. Atlus localizes these not for numbers but for the enthusiasts.
Also pointless because this is not the kind of game that could be ported without significant changes as it relies heavily on the dual screen set up.
Is this the first Atlus game some of y'all have ever heard of? The original version of Persona 4 came out on PS2 in 2008.
Persona Q is the best selling spinoff title for persona
The reason is it didnt do well in Japan because its a 3ds game in 2019
Why would you expect that? I dont think Atlus has ever done a simultaneous localization/worldwide release. And dubs are often one of the last things done in loc.
It is an egregious comparison yeah. But I can't help but feel the only reason we aren't getting a dub is because the system the game is releasing on is literally dooming the product. I don't think this game sold very well in Japan, people are finally moving on from the 3DS while Atlus is still clinging to it. It's frustrating because I want to get another 3DS to play this and SJR, but after hearing this I just wish it came to a more popular system to begin with
:shrug: I'm tired and moving on, I'm sure some of will enjoy pq2 the way it is released and that's fine
Atlus doesnt roll that way unfortunately. Most of the localization stuff ends up happening after the Japanese release which is why we get the game 6 months later too
Normally I'd be down with Switch port begging and agree with this, but EO-style dungeon crawlers are one of the very few kinds of games that are best on 3DS and wouldn't really work as well elsewhere.
