Yanks can't into pronouncing phonemic language words. They just have to blur and huff everything into one smooth turd in their mouths.

Oh, sorry. Please explain how to pronounce the names correctly then.

They were told by the developers to pronounce them the way the are, because they understand that sentence flow is more important than shoehorning a foreign language in, and they expected that the weebs who care so much about this would just play with the subs anyways.

according to the voice actors: they pronounced the names according to the directions they were given by Atlus, who thought shit like "suh-KAH-muh-toh" would be easier for Americans to say.

so is it Anne or ON

Ahn.

Because you're playing with the wrong language.

How are they properly pronounced?

A lot of the time it is because proper pronunciation of names would be jarring to the ear, moreso even than the usage of honorifics in speech.

For example, Ryuji's name is pronounced with a floating syllable, making only two syllables. It is not Ree-yew-jee as pronounced, but English simply lacks this kind of sound, so it is approximated and made to flow better.

There are exceptions and poor localization decisions in this game, but it's not a huge problem.

Every single part of the localization was rushed and fucked.

I feel really bad for the voice actors who were forced to say retarded "baby's first fansub" tier lines verbatim.

>tah-KAW-muh-key in almost every scene
>except for that one student that says tah-kah-MAH-key

what's really fucked about it is that every English speaker that is even the slightest bit familiar enough with nerd shit to be buy a Persona game already knows how to pronounce "Sakamoto." what the fuck Atlus

Or you know, Ryew-jee, making it two syllables

What triggers me for some reason is when Murricans don't pronounce the t-sounds between vowels properly.

This. They always turn it into a d-ish sound.

>playing with dubs

>the official dub is wrong muh headcanon is right
get over yourselfs

...when pronouncing Japanese names and words, that is. Obviously.

nah, professional voice actors are just all stupid idiots who have never had to do english dubs of japanese media and can't pronounce names they way they were intended to. it has nothing to do with what the developers and localization crew that pays them say. they're just really stupid and gaijin need to stop being bakas!

Because you're a dumb murricunt who can only play games on normal with pleb voices

The best part is when random faceless NPCs didn't get the memo and pronounce the names the correct way

What the fuck are you talking about, the pronunciations are objectively wrong.

Its just the way the american accent is when they try to moon speak. The latinamerican is the only accent thats similar to japanese.

You anglos are fucking retarded
