Persona 5 releases on Valentines Day!

[RepentantSky]

I'm so pissed this game got delayed again. It needs to go gold already. For God sake it's only a translation, it shouldn't take that long. I would have preferred more text based story if that's what it took. I don't care about the Japanese Voice cast either. The English voice casting is honestly set to be the best in the Persona series, I won't need the Japanese voice cast as it. It's just so bullshit that they did this.

Oh, I'm not pleased either! If memory serves this is only the fourth game Atlus has ever delayed after announcing a release date. This is truly surprising because of the whole "hearts" theme they were going with you'd think they'd really keep Valentines Day firm. 

P5 is such a huge deal I'm guessing they're just being extra paranoid to avoid any error since they have made mistakes in the past like not translating some text and screwing up with text boxes. Oh, I also love the English dubs, but dual audio makes for some interesting replay value and it's going to make a bunch of people finally STFU.

I'd agree but the problem is that Atlus themselves have confirmed they will be adding staff to the project which means despite this game basically being their bread and butter, they weren't dedicating themselves fully to the project. Everything else they can possible make should take a backseat to P5 after all the delays and the length of them, yet they didn't. That means the game is basically being delayed because Atlus was too stupid to focus on it properly. That is a huge fail.

Not spoilers, but I would skip this if you're trying to stay totally in the dark. I will make a comment about the video in spoiler tags just in case.

Spoiler

OK... I know Igor's Japanese VA passed away but that's a MASSIVE change to his voice. Why couldn't they keep his English VA the same, unless there's a story related reason for it? Now I'm not going to trust Igor and be suspicious something's up until the credits roll.

EDIT: ALSO DELAYED UNTIL APRIL. FML, but free dual audio is very unexpected!

Regarding your spoiler tag, the only thing I can possibly think is English VA doesn't want to do it because of what happened in Japan, or Vic Mignogna wasn't allowed to do it because the character has too many lines.
