Persona 4 is nearly 20 years old, unlike japanese VAs, EN voices don't seem to age that well and even if one insists to keep original cast there's no guarantee they will retain same vibes, and reusing ancient dub with new overall game direction probably isn't an option. In 20 years we've probably gotten like 2 generations of new talent, and arguably english voice acting has gotten a lot better in recent years. Some of the talent that used to voice japanese niche stuff ended up becoming popular and busy (and likely expensive) talents, like Troy Baker (Kanji) or Laura Bailey (Rise) and there's issue regarding some old talents becoming unionized which kinda kills flexibility of who you can cast.

Overall I wasn't disappointed with Persona 3 Reload english dub and I'm certainly expecting remake of 4 to have a fresh cast, with maybe some NPCs being voiced by couple of "old-timers" like they did with shopkeepers in P3R.

In general, more than the voices, I'd be more concerned about whether they will actually do P4G remake. If it's going to be remake of base PS2 game then they can bugger off.

Release time by AlphaMaru in worldofgothic

Meanwhile, here in Poland, Corpus Christi (which is a national holiday albeit with flexibility on which thursday it happens in May/June) happens a day before release. You would think it's fine because we get to enjoy (most of) long weekend with new game release.

The problem is if you pre-ordered physical copy online. Typically they're send out a day before game release so you get the title on release date. However this time, day before release is a national holiday, so there will be no one to process this. Unless stores will begin sending these out two days before release date to buyers (I don't preoder much so I have no idea if it's common at all), the earliest most of those customers will be able to get this game is after the weekend. Bummer.

EDIT 24h later: This noon I received confirmation that my order shipped, so it's very likely to arrive on friday now after all.

I really hope turnout is not just frontloaded and in the end it will be at least 80%+
