-- Description --

Here's a treat for those of you who love Japanese RPGs but 
can't stand the increasingly bad english voice jobs! This UNDUB has
the USA english text with the original Japanese spoken dialog. 

Enjoy this game the way it was meant to be played!

-- Release Notes --

This game is much better than Persona 3 was. Not that I play
much other than Soul Calibur 4 lately...

Event, battle and movie voices are now Japanese. As usual the
few movies are not hard-subbed (ew re-encoding) but I provided
a quick transcript for those who need it.

Hackers/coders want to contact me? Look for a fluffy kitty.

*** USA PUBLISHERS ***

Please stop ruining your games with such horrible english dubs!
We are forced to go to extremes like this because you 
are making the games we love unplayable!

Consider multi-language or special-edition releases with the
original high quality Japanese voices.

Upgrade to Your PS3 to 320GB!

Here's a fantastic deal from Amazon on a 2.5" SATA drive in its own USB enclosure.

More Fan Comments

- Dastardly Repressed @ SomethingAwful

Personally i am usually a HUGE dub fan but honestly the dub for p3 was disgusting. it sounded so childish, almost like a looney toons cartoon . NONE of the voice matched the characters at all.

Sighted on Kotaku...

If the voice acting is as bad as Persona 3's was, no thanks. If Atlus won't get better actors or better yet just keep the Japanese audio, this isn't something I'm going to purchase.

Fes Undub Gameplay Sample

Here's a quick look at what battle plays out like in "Episode Aegis"
(from the undubbed version of course):

Night & Day

I have to say that I wasn't looking forward to starting over from scratch, just to watch the opening sequence and dialog in Japanese. I have to say, the mix of English text and the original VAs exceeded all my expectations!

Having all the nasty re-encoded videos restored to their original versions is just the icing on the cake. The P3 Fes title poster frame of the OP video no longer judders and shimmers all over the screen, a huge improvement.

Now to get it working with my PS3 for 1080p...

Censorship Strikes Again!

Atlus USA has denied you.

You know you still want it...

Problem Solved!!

Before you ask... all of us already own the import, thereby licensing the Japanese audio for our own personal use! Atlus USA chose to waste our time and money on this terrible dub we won't be using, so they are the ones who owe us a partial refund...

-- Release Notes --

I've played so many versions of this game in so many languages that I'm rather sick of it. Even modifying the game again feels slightly redundant...

Oh well, I spent the last couple days working on something more interesting anyway. ;)

Event, battle and movie voices are now Japanese. As before, the infrequent movies lack subtitles. I dislike nasty re-encoded video, so don't whine at me for hardsubs.

アトラスアメリカ合衆国の手紙をオープン

この英語ダブ "ペルソナ3フェス" は、恥ずかしさは、不名誉、侮辱をして親会社とアトラス社と、すべての米国および海外の顧客にはします。を、個人のお客様に勝つミーバックとして、あなたは私のゲームディスクとしてリコールする必要が不良品と交換を発行することが復元してオリジナルの声優の仕事です。

私は喜んで有料 $130 +税金 $30 をあなたの代わりにこれを行うに正しいこと、およびライセンス、元の声は、私のお金の代わりに支援アマチュアの時間を無駄には、ダビングスタジオです。

安心、私は私の教訓を学んだとは決してアトラスアメリカ合衆国から何までを再度購入します。

An Open Letter to Atlus USA

This English dub of "Persona 3 Fes" is an embarassment, a disgrace, and an insult to your parent company Atlus Inc. and all your customers in the United States and abroad. To personally win me back as a customer, you will need to recall my game disc as defective, and issue a replacement that will restore the original voice actors' work.

I gladly would have paid $130 + tax instead of $30 for you to do the right thing and license the original voiceover work, instead of wasting my money supporting amateur hour at the dubbing studio.

Rest assured, I have learned my lesson and will never purchase anything from Atlus USA ever again.
