Here's Shin Megami Tensei V's First English Dub Trailer And Cast List

I just cannot listen to a dub for series like these. I guess it’s cool if dubs are your thing.

@moodycat Hey, leave Yuri alone! ...Although I do admit, he is everywhere, so it's nice to see a list of unfamiliar names.

@moodycat

Laura Post! She was Primrose in Octopath Traveler! Erica Lindbeck was Jessie in the new FF7 Remake! Nice!

And Jeannie Tirado! Lucia in Street Fighter V and Piyori in Disgaea 6! Great cast!

Only one I recognize is Chris Hackney who plays Dimitri in FETH and Heroes.

Interesting casting choices. They seem decent, though if the option to play with the Japanese voice over is available I might prefer to do that.

@Severian Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

I know there was a lot of hand-wringing and concern trolling that this wouldn't have English voice-overs (DESPITE Atlus saying otherwise on numerous occasions) on other sites. Let them eat crow.

Dub sounds fine. A lot of unfamiliar names, but that's fine. Hopefully this means no more Japanese-language trailers.

I was hoping to hear Amanozako's english voice, but oh well.

They should re-upload the trailers with the english voice acting.

@Severian Yeah, when I looked up Laura Post, I was surprised how prolific she was. Arguably the biggest name in the cast.

Man everything about this game is looking great. This is by far my most anticipated game of the year. Its been a long long time since I played SMT IV on 3DS.....this looks like the game that will make people forget Persona 4/5 never made it to Switch.

Where's Chris Pratt though

Just off this trailer, it doesn't hold a candle to P5's amazing dub. And blondie's voice doesn't fit at all.

At least it isn't as atrocious as IV's. But I'll be sticking with subs for sure

Can't say I immediately recognized the cast by name alone, but id rather have that than Yuri Lowenthal and Laura Bailey (though she's amazing!) in every game

What kind of person plays these games using the English dubs? So unnatural.

It sounds fine, nothing special. I know they switched production companies for SMT V and Nocturne but hopefully it's just as good as before.

Atlus usually knows what they're doing - Sega and Nintendo just need to let them do their work

Maybe I'll do what a buddy of mine does and just mute the game and blast music while I play.

I eventually ended up loving P5R, so I’m looking forward to this. Will play it in Japanese though as I did Persona 5. It had great dubbing, but just felt like something was “off” not playing in Japanese. Which is weird since I’m preferring Tales of Arise dubbed at the moment.

Yeah, I always find it weird to have a piece of media from Japan set in Japan with Japanese characters, and make them all speak... American English?

I'm glad it sounds like a quality dub for the people who want that, though.

This game......... November, be here already!!

Guess I'm one of those exceptions that like to have a Dub. More customizable options is great. Regardless I'm thinking of picking this up.

I'm glad I'm not the only who didn't recognise most of the names. They sound pretty good, to be honest, but I almost always prefer the Japanese voices. They usually sound more engaged, and I spend less time thinking about people's accents that way.

@TheBigK I play that way a lot, especially when my wife is there reading while I'm playing. I adjust the sound levels so I can just very faintly hear effects noises, put on subtitles and play whatever music we want to hear. We spend quite a few happy evenings like this.

I've been happily married for 24 years to a woman who doesn't get into video games at all. This is the way.

I find it hilarious how people throw shade at people who like to play games in their native languages.

And it's ironic because Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE got a load of flak for NOT having an English Dub. Can never win with some people. 🤷

Yeah…just gonna stick with the Japanese voices thanks.

What my friend also told me is most of this English dub cast is fresh voices rather then experienced VAs which implies they cut corners on actually getting some good English dub voice talent here. Definitely feels less budget then P5 dub.

If there is a Japanese audio option I'll basically always choose it.

Do think they chose good voice actors for the game based on their performances in the trailer. (Maybe if I ever do a second playthrough I'll use it. Won't do it my first run in a game about Tokyo and Japanese people.) Also nice to see new blood, anime games reuse way too many English voice actors between them.

As a side note, also quite liked the English VA for Shin Megami Tensei IV.

For real, I’ve played a lot of games, on Nintendo systems, but I have never been more impressed by the story, gameplay, maturity, difficulty, design and complexity in any game, as I’ve was when I played SMT IV on the 3DS, this is a huge release, can’t believe I’m playing no more heroes 3 and this on the same year

I mostly prefer dub probably because I grew up watching anime like Ranma 1/2 dubbed. However, it was weird playing Great Ace Attorney with the Japanese characters, who were visiting London, dubbed with British accents.

SMTV sounds great and I can’t wait to play it. Might have to start avoiding articles and trailers like these so I can go in as blind as possible.

Nah ill stick with the original
