We already knowCatherine‘s coming to the US.Atlus announced as much. But for a game as big as this one, localizationwillbe a key factor in its potential success. Even a Japanophile like myself knows that having a great English dub will be essential.
That’s why I’m happy thatCatherine‘s Catherine will be voiced by veteran voice actressLaura Bailey. You may know her from recent performances asFinal Fantasy XIII‘s Serah orSakura Wars: So Long My Love‘s Gemini Sunrise, or as Lust from theFullmetal Alchemistanime, or even asPersona 4′s Rise.
Personally I think she’s the perfect fit for the young-and-bubbly role of Catherine, especially alongsideTroy Baker as Vincent. Incidentally, Troy Baker also playedPersona 4‘s Kanji. Perfect match, or what?
Now the big question is who Atlus will pick to voice Katherine-with-a-K. She needs to be the polar opposite of Catherine, someone who can really cow Vincent into commitment. Personally I think Jennifer Hale (Commander Shepard,Metal Gear Solid‘s Naomi) could do a good job.
