Huh, yeah P5X definitely isn't getting a dub. At least not at first anyway.
Not like it's too strange for some Gacha Games however. A lot of them don't get dubbed. Like Project Sekai, Octopath, ect. Sometimes it's faster (and cheaper) to just translate the text and keep the voice acting as is.

Okay, now that I have a chance to sit in front of a computer and write, let's talk about Persona 4 Rewind. Or rather Atlus in general.
The brief footage we got of Yu running though Inaba looked rough as hell. The leaked footage of Yuakri way prior to P3 Reload being announced looked a lot more polished, which tells me Atlus wasn't quite ready to show it off but had to. Mostly due to leaks and the previously mentioned drops about it by the original voice cast.
Now I'm not unique to say this, both on Tumblr and Bluesky this same sentiment has been shared but I don't think this should cause any worry about the quality of the game once it comes out, in fact using Metaphor as a template we know they can pull a quality product from this.
But there's a point that P4 didn't need a remake. Golden had all of Persona 4's content intact and only added some new stuff and made improvements to it. Will Rewind even have Marie in it? You can't do DLC with Marie's content given it's tied to the main game's progression unlike The Answer, which even in FES was a separate story mode.
Sure making the Modern Trilogy all on modern systems with updated mechanics makes sense, but the biggest entry (until P5 came out) getting milked all over again does still worry me a little bit that, despite the confirmation that Persona 6 is in development, that Atlus might be debating on Persona's future in terms of trying to keep the momentum going with it.
SMT got a new release in SMTV: Vengeance, which in of itself is just the Royal/Golden version of SMV and we've got another remake coming up with Raiou's first game but...no fresh SMT title beyond that.
Metaphor's been the main fresh IP Atlus has dropped and come October the game will be a year old. So what do we have to expect aside from these remakes? We don't know. Persona 6 probably won't be shown off any time soon, in order to avoid the chaos that was the Persona 5 delays, so we're kinda idle for now.
Don't take this as me being mad about remakes and remasters, older games do still deserve to get fresh eyes on them but it is kinda tiring when the only other new bit of content an IP has is a Gacha game.

State of Play ended with no word from Atlus from what I could tell (too busy playing Deltarune) but Arc Sys dropped an announcement for their next game.
Despite getting HAKCED this game didn't leak. But it ain't the Persona 5 Arena game we've been hoping for.
I'll be honest I think the P5 train is slowing down. Aside from Persona 5 The Phantom X, I don't expect much more P5 content for a while. All rumors point to a Persona 4 Remake or Persona 6, so the era of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts is ending.

yukiko's va has also tweeted... chie's va had more words on her discord... and accordng to her, they literally know nothing about the remake and were just answering questions.
That's. Huh.
OK they know nothing, and we as a community only know Persona 4 Renew/Rewind as a rumor. But it really is weird.
Yuri Lownthal phrased it like he knew it was happening but poor wording on his part, possibly?
But it could just be that they all know nothing because they weren't even approached to voice SLs unlike last time.
Summer Games Fest and Tokyo Game Show are both soon, so I'll be paying attention.

what i find off... is the fact that they announced it before an official announcement of a p4 remake... which led me to believe that these veteran VAs and atlus miscommunicated about things...
another thing is that, they prolly would have been given npc roles as the "og"p3 had been. yuri himself became yukari's father. so yeah
Yukari's father, while important, doesn't get much screen time compared to others. Losing Makoto/Minato is one thing, he barely speaks, losing Yosuke, who would probably have full voice acting for Socal Links as well as the main story (meaning that "You Idiot, that's for Girls" would be fully voices for example) and it makes sense why he'd be upset.
But yeah revealing it accidentally early is probably just Human Error mixed with disappointment, Erin Fitzgerald probably saw Yuri Lownthal's post, decided to follow up herself not realizing that while making the post he had deleted his.

i think its just miscommunication... consideirng two of them have done it.
Keep in mind WHO these VAs are. Yuri Lownthal and Erin Fitzgerald, veteran VAs who have a deep passion for Yosuke and Chie and the Persona fan base. It could have definitely been an accident, given that they jumped the gun on saying something before the game was announced but I'm sure part of it was also expressing sadness that they won't be back.
Remember, Persona Q2 never got Dubbed, and if it did, that'd be the most recent time any of the current voice cast would get to voice them. Outside of that it's just...Cross Tag Battle.

Well uh, Persona 4 remake confirmed by Yuri Lownthal, the original but not upcoming voice for Yosuke Hanamura as well as Chie's VA.
Both posts have since been deleted on Bluesky as they realized that the game wasn't announced just yet, but I follow every P4 VA that's on there.
But this will be really weird for P4's cast, given Matt Mercer is Kanji's most recent VA and has been working with Atlus in reguards to Persona a lot more than the rest of P4's cast because of Yusuke.
I normally don't enjoy covering leaks unless I have full faith in them, especially after the Midori situation left a bad taste in my mouth, but given the source this time, I have to trust it 100%.

Will the Thieves in Inaba fic have anything involving P5X in it?
I wanted to wait and see at first if Phantom X's plot would be finished by the time I started to plot out this remake, but given it's a Gacha game and there's no official English version yet for me to play myself, I chose to exclude Wonder and his crew from the fic. At least for now, things could change. (It'd be way too many characters to juggle anyhow, seriously count every persona user under the P5 banner)

Heard some slight mumblings about Tumblr going away, again. I've been on this site far too long to get super worried about it so fast but, in the case it does happen lemme cover some bases and where to find me should this site ever go dark.
1: I'm on Bluesky! I don't post like...super regularly and at the moment my only things I post are FF14 and Xenoblade stuff but it's under the same @ my twitter was, shadowoa.
2: I have an AO3, where in the near future I'll be posting a full on remake of Thieves in Inaba, something I've been slowly working on since I finished P5T. (No this will not be prompt based like the OG) The fic will be under a different name as to not confuse it with the original. Same with bluesky it's under shadowoa, look for the Velvet Room symbol to know it's me.
Again I don't believe that this site's going anywhere soon, but you gotta make sure.

Shoji Meguro is really an impressive composer. Metaphor's soundtrack has a lot of praise thrown it's way (and rightfully so) but I feel like some of the other non-Persona OSTs he's worked on need some recognition. Namely that of Trauma Team's OST. It's a medical game, and every last song in the game is at 100bpm, meaning that you could do chest compressions to any song in the soundtrack and be on the correct rhythm for it.
If you want to try it yourself, go choose a random song from Trauma Team's OST and try the rhythm on a pillow.

Rumors abound about a P4 Remake in the style of P3R. I'd assume it'd be more tied to Golden this time if it's actually real. But I also don't want to immediately jump on a hype train only to lead to disappointment station. Hype responsibly and keep in mind that companies buy domains and hold onto game titles that end up never being used.
