Game enthusiasts who have been waiting for the English release of "Persona 5" were disappointed when Atlus announced the role-playing video game would be delayed. Nonetheless, there have been a number of exciting announcements made since then, which includes the western character list and release date.

Xander Mobus, who has lent his voice for "Disgaea 5," will play the role of the game's protagonist. As the game starts, the protagonist of the game has just started his time as a second year student at Shujin High School in Tokyo. He soon takes on the role of the leader of the Phantom Thieves, The Phantom.

The Phantom Thieves, as director Katsura Hashino discussed, is a group of misfits who run off with the hearts of corrupt people in the hope of making the world better, according to Games Talk.

The character of Morgana in "Persona 5" is voiced by Cassandra Morris, who has also worked as Nami in the "League of Legends". Morgana is a shapeshifter who accompanies the video game's protagonist as a cat during the day and acts as the Phantom Thieves' guide to the world of shadows.

Meanwhile, the American voice actor, Max Mittelman, voices Ryuji Sakamoto. Mittelman voiced "Final Fantasy XV: Kingsglaive's" Tredd Furia. The character of Mittelman in "Persona 5" has become known as a troublemaker after losing his status as a star athlete because of an injury.

On the other hand, "Persona 5" appears to have been a truly exceptional role-playing video game, and one that most developers within Japan have taken notice of. That's why "Persona 5" managed to gather the most votes in a poll conducted by Dengeki PlayStation. In addition, the Western gamers don't have to wait too long for the "Persona 5," as the game will be launching in North America on April 4, 2017 on PS3 and PS4, Gaming Bolt reported.
