Persona 5 Star Erica Lindbeck Reflects on Persona 5’s Lasting Impact

Sitting down with Naomi Kyle on the latest episode of GameRant’s Character Select, Lindbeck took a trip down memory lane to discuss how playing the shut-in hacker Futaba Sakura changed her trajectory. With the original game’s release now nearly ten years in the rearview, the actress shared a surprising revelation: she never actually had to audition for the part.
