E3 2016 Persona 5 Won't Have a Japanese Voice Option in the West
Dub snubbed
Bad news if you're a fan of original Japanese voice work: Persona 5 will only feature English voice acting here in the West, with no option to change it. Not a massive surprise, perhaps, seeing as both Persona 3 and Persona 4 didn't have an optional Japanese dub either, but a slight disappointment nonetheless. However, we reckon it's...

News No, Persona 5 Is Not Being Published By Sony in Europe
