I'm pretty sure only Nintendo & NRS have dropped Karen so far (though with Capcom, it took them a while to even drop Reuben), so Aigis can go either way. Hopefully she gets recast, though.
They've been consistent about reprising their respective roles, so I wouldn't worry.
Eh, maybe Atlus keeps their japanese voices but they've been so inconsistent at keeping the english cast in the past. The P4 cast changed voice actors so many times throughout all the spin-offs
Karen's problematic views were big enough to get on Nintendo's radar, but they're usually more proactive on this kind of thing. And even with them, it took a while.
Idk what happened with Teddie and Chie but Kanji and Rise's VAs couldn't come back because of scheduling conflicts. Those two became the biggest VAs in the industry so yeah, it was bound to cause issues
In Laura's case, she has her son & Critical Role to worry about on top of being super-prolific. So scheduling conflicts are inevitable.
Yeah but they're still nowhere near the same level as notoriety as Vic's become. I just don't feel quite as confident about that one getting recast as I would Vic.
That's why I'm saying the odds of her being recast are 50/50. I'm not gonna rule it out, but I (sadly) wouldn't be surprised if they don't. That's why I mentioned to Nintendo usually being faster about this kind of thing, as they distanced themselves from Reuben before Capcom eventually did.
Karen Strassman, yeah. Voiced both Aigis and Nanako. Liked a bunch of Trump tweets and then went on some COVID denial shit.
a leak

I feel the opposite. Never cared for Vic's Junpei much. He just sounded like some dude. But Stassman's Aigis was iconic to me back in 2007. Was so disappointed she turned out to be a Trumper. Hope they're both gone of course but it'll take me awhile to adjust to anyone else as Aigis.
Same. I don't even remember what Teddie's OG voice sounded like
Was he Junpei's?
This is me lol
Teddie's VA left because he decided to stop doing non-union dubs, and Atlus didn't change that policy until P5 Royal.
Atlus didn't start doing the dub for Persona 5 until it was already launched in Japan.
Yeah but things are different now. Shin Megami Tensei V and Soul Hackers 2 both launched worldwide with both dubs. Modern Persona ports were also worldwide though that's obviously less a big deal. Given the leaks say Persona 3 Remake has been in the works for years already and they didn't do the old Atlus thing of announcing it the day they decided to make it, I think they've changed how they approach releases in general under SEGA.
Same here. I really liked the deeper voice Yuri Lowenthal gave the MC/Makoto in the cameo fight in p5r, though, so I hope he comes back.
Karen voiced Hana again in Fire Emblem Heroes after Engage was released, so I doubt she was recast in Engage because of her views and it was probably just them wanting a different voice because Engage's Anna is a lot younger than the other versions of her.
