Upperclassman.
That said, the main market of Persona games is weaaboos. I don't even feel bad about them leaving in senpai and so on. Just wish they'd also leave the original dubs as an option..

It's "Sempai".

Weaabos love English dubs though, so it makes sense that they don't leave in the Jap voice.

This isthe only thing I hate about Persona.
If they will ever make Persona 5, I hope they won't translate it like this again...

Have you ever heard anyone call someone this like it was their name? I don't think so. Senpai is like Sensei, acceptable in english.
>Just wish they'd also leave the original dubs as an option..
Wouldn't fit on a ps2 disc, plus the jap acting was inferior.

The only thing they need to drop is the honorifics.

No, outside anime and manga where translation standards are abysmal it's really not.

The character's actual name works.

But yeah, the dub and translation sucked butts in this game.

I just wish they would stop with the honorifics, we don't need them. I know I'm in the minority.

I don't think you/we are. I've never been to Atlus' forums, maybe I should make a post there about it. See what the reaction is. If I get attacked by gaiafag level retards I'll know why honorifics are in.

Persona 4 translated

Onii-chan ---> big brother

Senpai ---> Senpai

I wonder what went wrong

Try it, I'm interested in their reaction.

``Elder'' would probably be the best translation, but it is somewhat ambiguous.
``Senpai'' is perfect.

That or they just use the character's name..

They should have put this name.
