The one English trailer they have on ign seems to have the guy who voices lubu/xehanort's heartless/rider (fate zero) talking, wonder who that is.
I mean, I get it: Morgana is supposed to sound paradoxically cute and young, but talk in a serious and older manner. However, it's really hard to pull off the charm of Otani.
Metroidvania
People called Romanes they go the house?
I'm still mulling it over a bit, but I'm not feeling it right now either. The brief presumed protag line was good, and Morgana was 'okay', but the others (Ruyji and maybe Ann) did not sound particularly good.
Hoping it's due to the fact that it's just VO overlay over random trailer footage, but...idk.
Doctor Strange has two actors with the name Benedict in the main cast.

Fresh blood. Which is what we need nowadays when every guy is Troy Baker and every girl is Laura Bailey (not that I mind...)
Yea that's where I'm leaning. The protag and Morgana are fine but the rest just sound bad.
I remember she tweeted that she wanted to reprise Rise for P4 DAN games but she was booked so they replaced her.
Lmao. Same here.
Igor's voice direction is entirely different in P5, so I kind of hope they follow suit with the english dub. It's a very deep, imposing, and scary voice.
Whenever I see Xander Mobus mentioned, I remember this thread: http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=929128

Knowing Persona, Xander will probably do double duty as pro and antagonist.

No Xander Bogaerts? Sad!
gotta get the cheap talent and then dump then when they get too expensive, thus the Atlus way

MC is voiced by Smash 4 announcer and Dagda in SMT4:A.
Xander Mobus is the announcer for Smash 4. Matt Mercer is McCree, Jotaro, & Chrom. Max Mittelman is Saitama.
On my phone, so I can't actually watch the video.
Otherwise stoked for Mittelman Ryuji and Daymond Goro. This marks the first time Atlus has ever come forward with the full main cast of one of their games, much less this far in advance. They're clearly putting a lot behind this.
That is the most out-of-left-field casting. I always pegged Lindbeck for Ann, and didn't even think Harlacher was even a factor. I'm really hoping Harlacher can give Ann the right amount of sass and assertiveness. She's a great actress when she uses her natural voice, but her Kyoko in Dangan Ronpa is pretty bad. That was recorded two years ago, though.
How is this going to affect crossovers, if he'll still voice Kanji? Would've preferred Kaiji Tang if Baker's not coming back. He'd be good for Yusuke's eccentric awkwardness.

Matt mercer has played a range of character archetypes. In the persona spinoffs he plays kanji instead of Troy baker for instance
Going over some of their roles for myself (already knew of roles that were Matt Mercer's work ahead of time):
Max Mittelman - Saitama (One Punch Man)
Erika Harlacher - Kurapika (Hunter x Hunter)
Cherami Leigh - Kudelia (Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans)
Erica Lindbeck - Misty/Vita (Trails of Cold Steel)
Xanthe Huynh - Nagisa (Pulla Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion), Altina (Trails of Cold Steel II)
Robbie Daymond - Tuxedo Mask (Viz dub of the original Sailor Moon, as well as Sailor Moon Crystal), Prompto (Final Fantasy XV)
Very promising. Looking forward to it.

Xander Mobus is most famously known as the Smash Bros 4 announcer but he's done some other great work in anime and other video games. Max Mittleman is a newcomer but he recently did a fantastic job as Saitama in the One-Punch Man dub. Erika Harlacher was the original voice for Kyoko Kirigiri in the video games so you might know her from there. Cassandra Morris, Matt Mercer and Cherami Leigh are veterans of the VA world and have been heard in tons of your favorite anime. Erica Lindbeck and Xanthe Huynh dont have a lot of roles under their belt but if you've seen Love Live!, then you might recognize them as Eli Ayase and Hanayo Koizumi respectively. And finally Robbie Daymond is a relatively new VA but he has a lot of big roles under his belt including Tuxedo Mask in the new Sailor Moon dub, Joe in Digimon Tri and the protagonist of the God Eater anime. Overall, i'd say it's a fantastic cast. Really looking forward to it.

Excited to see some 'lesser' names in here. I'm at the point where the big named actors take me out of the experience a little bit when I can't disassociate them from their other roles. With voices I don't know very well, I feel I'll come to like the characters more!
Oh no. I totally agree. im just surprised. I think FFXV is doing something similar, no? This is good for the industry!
I MIGHT MAKE A THREAD ON THIS!

Nice cast.
Edit: Of course my brain goes to everything related to anime currently on Toonami

Cassandra Morris and Cherami Leigh have voiced some of my favorite characters before, so I'm pretty pumped.
Then I finally looked him up and LO AND FUCKING BEHOLD HE LITERALLY IS THE GUY YOU GET WHEN YOU CAN'T GET TROY BAKER
(Which I'd imagine is pretty great for him now that Troy Baker has apparently moved up into the tier of Too Expensive For Non-AAA Games.)
The first game I played with Matt Mercer voicing a major role was Tales of Xillia (Alvin.) For a while I was like "hm, I'm pretty sure that's Troy Baker, but it sounds a little off from his voice" and my sibling said "if that's not Troy Baker, that's, like, The Guy You Get When You Can't Get Troy Baker."

I don't like any of these people.
Well, their work anyway.

It probably won't affect anything at all. Yuri Lowenthal voiced the P3MC and Yosuke in Persona Q.

Xander will probably play another major character just like Yuri Lowenthal and Johnny Yong Bosch did
Who is that supposed to be? Anyway I like the voices so far. Morgana's is cute.
Also kinda neat that Chrom and Yusuke have the same Japanese VA and now have the same English VA as well.
I am guessing that was Yuki's voice actor who we don't know yet.

I actually recognize most of these VA's. They've done good work in other games and shows, so I have no complaints. I'll be interesting to see who voices the villains.

But what about JPN voices as DLC?
I will pray for it.

So does this mean that the protagonist talks more than just the Persona names?

Strong dub cast and the clips sound good from the brief glimpse we could hear.

Hot damn on Xander.
That's an amazing gig for a relatively lesser known VA

Same. It almost looks out of place when the rest of the game has a certain sense of style.
