Persona 3 Reload's new English voices sound great, but I have one concern.
The Persona series has a rich tradition of suddenly replacing its English voice actors. Kanji Tatsumi got a new voice in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, Tae Takemi got one in Persona 5 Royal, and we were forever deprived of this absolutely divine reading of"Now, Persona 3 Reload—the upcoming full-blown remake of Persona 3—is replacing its entire dang English voice cast, and we got our first listen to the new line-up in the game's new English Gameplay Reveal trailer.
Although several cast members—notably Ken and Aigis—don't feature in the trailer, we still got ears on Yukari, Akihiko, Mitsuru, Junpei, and Fuuka, a major chunk of the game's main squad. I have to say I like what I'm hearing, at least for the most part.
The only one I'm unsure of is Akihiko. Everyone's favourite, protein-loving boy had an incredibly distinct performance in the original game, an almost comically badass voice that fits his character perfectly. We only hear a snippet of his new performance—from Alejandro Saab—in this trailer, making ittoo early to judge, but it seems less characterful to my ear, even if the quality of the acting is high. Perhaps I just need to adjust to the change.
Either way, I'm excited to get my hands on this one when it finally arrives next year. Although Persona 3 finally came to PC in the form of Persona 3 Portable—a port of the game's PSP version—in January this year, I ended up putting it down after 15 or so hours. The visual novel style just didn't work for me in a Persona game. I'll be glad to finally get a chance to experience the classic when the remake hits.
Sure, Atlus says it won't have the female protagonist or expansion content, but I imagine it'll only be a matter of time until we get Persona 3 Reload Rearmed: A great opportunity to buy the remake a second time with all that missing stuff put in.Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.

Associations between change in physical activity and sedentary time and health-related quality of life in older english adults: the EPIC-Norfolk cohort study - Health and Quality of Life OutcomesBackground No previous studies have examined the associations between changes in objectively-measured physical behaviours with follow-up QoL in older adults. Based on cross-sectional evidence, it is biologically plausible that such associations exist. If so, this bolsters the case for the commissioning of activity interventions and for including QoL as an outcome in trials of such interventions. Methods We assessed physical behaviours (total physical activity, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), light physical activity, total sedentary time and prolonged sedentary bout time) for 7 days using hip-worn accelerometers at baseline (2006–2011) and follow-up (2012–2016) and health-related quality-of-life (QoL) using EQ-5D questionnaires at follow-up in 1433 participants (≥ 60 years) of the EPIC (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer)-Norfolk study. The EQ-5D summary score was used, with 0 as the worst to 1 as best perceived quality-of-life. We evaluated the prospective associations of baseline physical behaviours with follow-up QoL, and of changes in behaviours with follow-up QoL using multi-level regression. Results On average, MVPA decreased by 4.0 min/day/year (SD 8.3) for men and 4.0 min/day/year for women (SD 12.0) between baseline and follow-up. Total sedentary time increased by an average 5.5 min/day/yr (SD 16.0) for men and 6.4 min/day/yr (SD 15.0) for women between baseline and follow-up. Mean (SD) follow-up time was 5.8 (1.8) years. We found that higher baseline MVPA and lower sedentary time was associated with higher subsequent QoL (e.g. 1 h/day greater baseline MVPA was associated with 0.02 higher EQ-5D score, 95% CI 0.06, 0.36). More pronounced declines in activity were associated with worse Hr-QoL (0.005 (95% CI 0.003, 0.008) lower EQ-5D per min/day/yr decrease in MVPA). Increases in sedentary behaviours were also associated with poorer QoL (0.002 lower EQ-5D, 95% CI -0.003, -0.0007 per hour/day/yr increase in total sedentary time). Concl
