i mean it can work out fine in the game but having a anime series with a silent protagonist seems like its a recipe for disaster, anyone know if he will talk or anything.

Yeah, but after playing the whole game with an apparently mute guy, it sounds weird xD
(Even more if you've watched Hetalia or Level E, seriously, I won't take MC serious after that.)

To be honest, I am pleased that the protagonist can talk in this. I wouldn't want a silent one unless im playing a video game.

It'd be hilarious if they had talk bubbles come out instead of him talking.

if he speaks in a high pitched voice, ill seriously expect him to shout "PASTAAAA~~~"
if he speaks in a lower voice ill expect him to squeal "CHIGI".

They may style it like the manga and make him a quiet character, not silent. But I'm just so used to him being called Seta Souji that Yu just sounds awkward haha.

I'm kinda upset he got a name at all... Don't mind him having a voice, thats kind of expected in an Anime, but I think making him remain nameless would have been more interesting. Not like it would be hard to pull off either... just do the same thing the game does... call him senpai, bro, kid, teach, deus ex god man child, etc etc. That way he could retain a little bit of mystery for the viewers imagination (and he could remain being Mike Litoris forever in my mind)

Not a big deal really... just a small nitpick of mine.

It'd be odd to actually not see him talk, technically he does in the game you just never hear it since you often make decisions and he'll show the actions that he's speaking, he just never gets involved in the serious crimefighting discussions deciding to sit back and be a badass saving his talking for decision making, such as avoiding a Bad Ending.

I am annoyed they chose Yu though, I am so used to him being Souji that it'll be hard to get used to, but I'll inevitably will, can't wait for this anime!

In the game, he just shouted the names of Persona. But stayed silent in general.

In the anime, he will speak through the series but will only shout "Izanagi!"

Oh, irony.

Actually I think he says ZIO when you use Izanagi sometimes, of course only when Zio is used, also you think he'll only have one persona? or is it actually confirmed?

Also I wonder about that.... as in if he'll only shout IZANAGI in regards to a persona, because if they follow the true ending then..... :P

Hasn't been confirmed that he'll be talkative, he may be a quiet person only speaking when it is necessary, being an analytical sorta guy, especially since in the game he takes that role in a way, since people always ask the MC what he thinks, being able to talk and being talkative are two different things :D

That scene is from the game, and the MC DOES show he really loved the ramen, he just didn't talk. =p

The MC either says whichever skill you happened to use or the name of the persona. And yes, he can and will say Izanagi from time to time.
