Persona 5 English and Japanese Voice Acting Comparison
For the first time in the series Persona 5 lets you pick if you want to play the game in English or Japanese. This comparison video gives you a sample of some dialogue to help you decide which to play with.

The lengthy intro of this video specifically talks about name pronunciations and it isn't really until the very last comparison that they even say any names.
The English dub is ok. But I'm gonna go with the Japanese voice overs. It's much more suited for it and some parts of it don't really make sense on English Dub
Ryuji English VA is absolutely perfect
Japanese Morgana the best!
Change my mind
English dub
The characters in this game are Japanese obviously and the game takes place in Japan. So the Japanese voices are the original ones and canon, the English voices are really good, however, the characters are Japanese as I said before, that's why it's odd to see them speak in English.
My only problems are male VAs (except Sojiro) and 1 female VA
I think I like the English more and that’s rare
I didn't dislike either, but I liked the Japanese better. The Japanese cast just sounded more flavorful while some of the English sounded kinda samey. But don't take that out of context, Persona games still seem to get good English voices in general.
And then the Japanese cast is like an all-star team of experienced anime voice actors, I mean Lelouch is the protagonist, Okabe is Ryuji, Joseph Joestar is Yusuke, Makoto Misaka is Makoto, Madoka is Futaba…they really pulled in the big guns for the Japanese too.
i like the Japanese voices much better
I think Ren's English voice fits him better as Ren but his Japanese voice fits him better as Joker
I'm using the english dub in game but all the voice actors, both japanese and english have nice voices and did really well!!
SAKA’H’ MOTO.. Guys, this is a Japanese games with a Japanese High school setting with Japanese names.. if you don’t mind JP VO, kindly stick to Japanese instead of English… I am not gonna play Bloodborne or Mass Effect in Japanese either. At the end, you guys know best.
To be clear, most if not all of the lines delivery and pronunciation if judge by the voice directors and team. NOT the voice actors so don’t blame it on them because they are just the provider of the chatacter’s voice.
Fukuyama Jun, Miyano Mamoru, Tomokazu Sugita and Aoi Yuki???
I wish they made the dialogue for the Japanese match instead of reusing the English subtitles.
I like dub cuz im to lazy to read
I actually like Yusuke’s English voice better. It has so much elegance, I just love that
I thing about making a new playthrough whith the japanese voices this time, but its kinda hard if ur already got used to the english ones
Honestly people who played persona 5 with the English version didn't play the same game in my opinion
Ta mejor en voces pvtaku ??
I personally feel a better connection with the characters when I can hear what they're saying, so I usually prefer dubs ?
I bought it on ps3 but is full Japanese, does anybody know if I can change it to English?
Both are really good! I actually really really like The english version tho and I usually HATE english dub
Based from this comment section
Everybody loves dub
I’m a full fledged weeb, but actually prefer the english dub
english is so much better
This made me realise David Hayter should have been the interrogator guy in English
For as great as the English dub is, I just can't get past them using Japanese honorifics. Its my main gripe with the English VO and it kinda ruins the experiance. The honorifics just don't sound right when spoken in english.
I like the Japanese voice more for saying things when he uses the third eye, it has gravel and rolls of the tongue.
"Kanjiru so"
"Togisa masu"
"Iyeh"
That's so cool.
whenever i hear japanese ryuji i think of dazai
The best japanese voice to ryuji would be nobuhiko okamoto (Voice of nishinoya and bakugo)
Makoto is so much more attractive in sub
I'm usually a japanese dub always type of guy but joker, ryuji, and akechi sound way too good in english that hearing them in japanese kinda ruins it for me. makoto sounds slightly better in japanese and ann and yusuke are basically the same in both dubs. the only english voice I kinda have an issue with is futaba but it's still tolerable
so chopper is also voicing Morgana… I'm starting to hear his voice everywhere
I prefer for the first time ever the English voice cast, well done
Ill play the Usa version for learning English 🙂
I never played the game in Japanese (from the original to The Phantom Strikers), so it sounds strange to me. Sounds great but I'll stick with the English VA'S though.
It's my preference.
Man, if only the Trials of Mana remake English dubbing was this good…
Playing Persona games in Japanese voice feels weird to me even though I know they're obviously Japanese.
I don't know why…it just feels weird.
Definitely Japanese ?
The Japanese audio is always better, I always find the English dubs cringy
I always prefer japanese dubs, but p5 really nailed the english VA for this series!
I preffer joker's english voice
I swear the English dub voice acting Morgan’s and the Japanese voice actor sound similar
I've only known persona 5 since its release in english, so its SO STRANGE to hear them speak Japaneae.
Yuji Mitsuya as Kamoshida is alright, but he can a little bland at times.
One of the rare cases where I prefer DUB
I watch anime in Japanese but I love both English and Japanese in p5. Japanese is better by a little bit. It has more emotion and is the original and how the creators intended it to be
Persona series are one of the few JRPG that has a good English VO.
