I stopped caring about the American dub as soon as they recast Chie for P4G anyway, what’s one more change at this point

do you really need all new voice recordings for a remake? unless they were horrible quality i don’t see the point.

There’ll almost certainly be new/expanded and altered dialogue.

I’m intrigued to see whether they’ll try to rework any of the more ‘problematic’ stuff, now that Katsura Hashino (P3–P5 director) has left. Or go for a truer-to-the-Japanese-version Teddy this time.

Are you saying that Hashino himself was responsible for the problematic content, or that he would have stood in the way of revising it?

I mean, that helps justify buying the game again. Fresh performances, possibly with tweaks or new content.

I’ll spin it around: why would you buy the game a second time if it just used all the same files?

If it don’t got golden content I ain’t buying it.

Yuri’s original post has since been deleted. Erin Fitzgerald, the (second) voice of Chie, also said on Bluesky that she won’t be returning, along with Amanda Winn Lee, the voice of Yukiko, elsewhere:

I don’t know if Sega or Atlus did something to piss everyone off, if it’s some bizarre marketing stunt, or if the others just decided to pile on after Yuri went scorched earth on this. The whole thing’s pretty weird.
