Chie Being Recasted in Persona 4 Revival

[Sinsic30]

Personally she was overly county talking to me - no hate against the actresses but I wouldn't mind a new person taking the lead for this character ... What are y'all thoughts on this

MOMMY!

Teddy and Yosuke are also getting new voice actors.

Par of the course for Atlus and Persona remakes, I guess. They seem to cheap out on the voices. P3 Reload was the same. But I dislike it, some new voice performances just don't hit nearly the same, like with Mitsuru.

Teddy and Yosuke also feel major because they have quite colorful characters and the new voice actors sound stiff.

Kanji will also be hard to match as well as he has a lot of energy in the original.

Chie on the other hand, the new v.a. sounds a lot like the old one, going by the trailer. There were times I thought it was the same voice actress.

Good. No disrespect towards the actress but I prefered the original PS2 Chie actress. Chie's voice in Golden and the spin-offs was just wrong to me.

reminds me of how capcom keeps changing its RE voice actors constantly between games. just feels shady and greedy

Honestly, it's just a voice acting job. I understand she played the same character for about ten years, but things change. Like the rest of you, The company probably also thought the character needed a new voice for the update. And it's not like she voiced the character for over 30 years, as Kotono Mitsuishi has done with Sailor Moon.

It will be the second time Atlus replacing Chie's eng VA. Poor girl can't catch a break.

If we get anything like P3R, maybe she gets cast in a minor role? Some of OG P3 VAs were recast in minor roles on P3R

But why wouldn't she still be the voice of Chie? It's not like she has vocal damage or chain smokes like a 1940s detective

This was predictable, giving the situation of P3 reload

The same reason I send test subjects into live reactors to flip reset buttons. The replacement is cheaper.
