What I enjoy about this version is that there is a deep appreciation and love in what he is saying, it really sends home how there is no malice in what he doing he just sees it as the inevitable, just the truth of the world.
Honestly as much as the old Nyx voice was cool, the new one recognisably sounding like Ryoji makes the fight even more tragic and personal than before.
Not a fan of them trying to make Nyx avatar more sympathetic or emotional since it’s literally just death they can’t do anything about it might as well play along with it and make it seem as menacing as possible.
@@rushisbased4581dude have you played the game? Ryoji eventually becomes the Nyx Avatar and never once does he lose his sympathy for the humans who's lives he's forced to bring to an end, even in the OG he was supportive and sounded like he was gonna cry when he apologised to them all, having the little extra bits is a nice touch!
While I prefer the OG, the remake is really good, especially the dialogue. The voice shows that there’s a part of Ryoji who is still there and didn’t want this to happen, but he is demanded to carry out the Fall. Like what Métis said, Nyx is not a malevolent being. She was called because people wanted death.
If you listen to the persona fes in Japanese, Nyx does not have the monster voice from the dub, he maintains Riojy's voice, in the remake they kept that characteristic being more attached to the original. In addition to the fact that it makes narrative sense, nyx avatar has that human characteristic thanks to the fact that he learned to be human, he still maintains something of his being inside. Fighting against nyx avatar, knowing that ryoji is inside, doing something he doesn't want, and it's inevitable, adds to what you want to beat him, you help him.
It also made no sense how Yukari spontaneously recognized Ryoji in P3F when he's a step away from sounding like a FNaF1 animatronic. In P3R he still sounds like Ryoji, just a scarier, deeper-voiced Ryoji.
Why do people keep saying this even though it's straight up wrong? Nyx's voice sounds distorted in Japanese FES. It's only in the anime where they removed the distortion.
@@pikachu896 man all versions are distorted, but p3 og english dub sounds nothing like ryoji unlike P3 FES japanese and P3R where you can listen ryojin behind the distortion
Everyone here is talking about how the O.G. voice for Nyx was better, but I think this one is better. It sounds less like they just stuck the VA's lines through a filter, and the way Nyx delivers my absolute favorite of its lines in the Remake makes me so happy. "You cannot escape death. To live is to die; they are one and the same..."
@@gmaerliadgh Sorry to follow up on my comment so late, but I thought of a theory as to why ATLUS might've done that. FES Nyx feels more alien and hostile; that version wants you to feel intimidated and afraid of Nyx -- as you should be. Reload Nyx feels like they were going for a depressingly sympathetic take on Nyx; this thing was once your friend, and it still sounds like Ryoji, addresses SEES personally (especially Makoto, who can even address Nyx as Ryoji in a dialogue prompt during Phase 14), and even shows that it doesn't really want this fight to happen and still cares for SEES, shown in some of its voice lines for taking damage ("Why...?"), which is canonical according to The Answer. FES Nyx is supposed to feel alien and hostile, and Reload Nyx is supposed to feel tragic and somber.
I'd say new VA is better felt more like Ryuji was there, but i prefer the OG wording, they should've just copied the old quotes instead of altering them
I agree! The new one sounds more "human" and not "robot". When one considers Death is a friend of humanity in a way by looking at literature, media, arts, this one makes sense.
I don't think it's a matter of old VA vs new VA that fundamentally changes Nyx's inflection but the lack of a filter. It's hard to tell how Yuri's version would have sounded like without the filter, while Aleks pretty much sounds wholly untouched. You can make an argument about which version is better but it doesn't have that much to do with the VAs.
Imo, this is more fitting and way better than original. It feels like Nyx truly waiting for death to come. Remember that Nyx avatar here are just harbinger of fall, not the real Nyx itself. People are just biased by nostalgia factor.
I'm fine with him sounding more Ryoji, it fits so much better, but I really wish they kept the exact same wording. Some rewritten lines just sound lamer, especially the last one.
Philemon and Nyarlothothep are similar to Nyx, what I mean is that Philemon made a bet that humanity would reach enlightenment while Nyalothotep bet that humanity would destroy itself, how is this similar to Nyx? Well, Nyx wasn't a bad person, people were calling Nyx to kill/destroy us.
I understand preferring the original this is definitely different but i like it honestly. I find the idea that Ryoji connection to humanity has fundamentally changed nyx in some way interesting. I mean nyx has always been encouraging in some ways with its arcana speechs so i feel it works
Overall, the original was too good. Her voice was ominous and emotionless, you were fighting a fight you can't win. Here, you can tell this is still Ryoji, honestly I would not have noticed Nyx was Ryoji in the original unless Yukari didn't mention it. Nyx is more human here, just like Ryoji gained some humanity through spending time with you.
So in the Japanese version it doesn’t have that filter on the voice. You know it’s ryoji so while the original English version is cool this one is more personal more of a fact that nyx has some human in them now since they lived in a human for so long.
@@logogogo4872 yeah Akihiko is the one I can't agree on. The funeral scene especially was done so dirty in the remake. Legit turned my favorite scene in the series to one that didn't elicit any emotions.
@@wantedraider6007 the original voice in some way fits Nyx, as being an embodiment of death, it feels that Ryoji is gone. In the Reload Ryoji is still there which makes sense, it's just two different interpretation, the only thing i don't like is that some new lines are kinda speed up, sounding less ominous
bruh, why did they touch the already existing lines for each arcana? they were fine the way they were, they rewrote them to be worse in some cases (death). Like with death in the original versions of p3 it sounded more threatening and made it feel as if it was the final stretch of the fight but now it sounds fuckin stupid
@jennosyde709 the entire point is that the Nyx avatar is partly Ryoji, which gained humanity. It makes the fight more tragic because Ryoji hated the idea of the fall happening
@@wantedraider6007I can understand that, but with such a vast physical change and the embodiment of death, some prefer the more ominous voice. The embodiment of death sounding so human sounds weird to me

"It matters not who you are, Death awaits you."
*my very soul leaving my body after hearing this line for the 100th time*
“It requires great courage to look within oneself, and forge one’s own path…”
Honestly as much as the old Nyx voice was cool, the new one recognisably sounding like Ryoji makes the fight even more tragic and personal than before.
Yeah, the lines aren’t as intimidating, but it fits a lot more given the circumstances

I was thinking that, I like Yuri's more but that doesn't make Aleks's bad

I really like this take, sounds like Ryoji is still in there and is trying to give you guys a chance
99% of the comments are people complaining about the VA.
Why do people complain about this anyway...?
@@Susanoo-ii9uy nostalgia and hatred of any change at all
@@darkspiro6467Yup, must be. Can't possibly be people legitimately preferring the old voice, could it?
Too bad he doesn't say "Eternity awaits" like in Portable
"THE TIME HAS COME"
Sounds alot more poetic in a way that the original didn't really have

Never played the original persona 3, but seen clips and heard both versions of Nyx. I have no bias to either one. I love both VAs.
The one thing I didn't like in this version is the change of "death awaits all" in the original it's said "you" like is directly towards the player.

Agreed

Everyone in this comment section be hating hard. It makes sense it sounds more like Ryoji if the template for Nyx's avatar is Ryoji (look at the hair)
I miss the old VA
I'm sorry but I am still. Convinced this is Nyarlathotep fucking with the newer persona casts, you cant convince me otherwise.
Overall, the original was too good. Her voice was ominous and emotionless, you were fighting a fight you can't win.
Here, you can tell this is still Ryoji, honestly I would not have noticed Nyx was Ryoji in the original unless Yukari didn't mention it.
Nyx is more human here, just like Ryoji gained some humanity through spending time with you.
The Avatar kinda has Ryoji's hair, which is where I'm assuming Yukari made the connection.
So in the Japanese version it doesn’t have that filter on the voice. You know it’s ryoji so while the original English version is cool this one is more personal more of a fact that nyx has some human in them now since they lived in a human for so long.
This would be cool if the whole game has RT lighting and shadows. And the background had the correct sky color instead of this green sky
daaamn this is so better than the original
having ryoji speaking to you like that hits hard
Лучше оригинала
