Dancing gameplay is super fun but the story mode is kinda dumb imo

I love to go out clubbing with all of my best friends

why is it canon atlus please

Honestly the worst rhythm game I've played. The notecharts are completely off and barely follow most of the tracks, so it feels like pressing random notes on top of the music instead of actually playing along with the music. It's a shame because everything else about this game was enjoyable. Even the story was entertaining enough.

lacking as a rhythm game but i still enjoyed it as the fanservice it was. unfortunately p5d and p3d decide not to improve on the lacking rhythm game part and so i enjoyed them less


Fun rhythm game with a surprisingly good story mode.

Persona 4: Dancing All Night takes place in a small town in Japan that is plagued by weird happenings. The main character and his friends investigate the bizarre happenings about the town, which all lead to the doorstep of a serial killer that, contradictingly wants to live nothing more than a quiet life. The gang is tasked with restoring normality to this crazy, noisy bizarre town.

The story dragged so we skipped it. The dancing is fun and addicting, even for those who aren’t big rhythm game fans! The remixes of the soundtrack are great for the most part, and the dances are adorable! It’s great to see these characters with updated, expressive models. The game doesn’t have a whole lot of replayability, but it was worth picking up for a night!

Story mode completed + 100% achievements

Sure, story is there, even though it really is nothing more than a glorified epilogue to a game that ended so perfectly. As a music/rhythm game, it has songs that are too long, and overall lacks content. No-brainer songs such as Never More is missing in the original list of included songs, set aside as a DLC so they can take more money from the fans who bought this supposedly full game.

If you are kind of a person who has no concept of what it means to be a responsible consumer, and just want to watch Nanako dance cute to some music you used to think is the best musical achievement in history of mankind, you wouldn't be disappointed. But otherwise, I wouldn't recommend this, not even to fans. Because fans, including myself, bought this, and it gave Atlus an excuse to do the same to P3 and P5, with even less content and even more exploitative DLC business model.

Would you believe me if I said that this game, of all of Persona 4's spinoffs, has the characters feel the most consistent with the original game's writing?

Honestly youd see this and think it was just a rythm game, no story at all, but thats not the case although sadly it is with the later games. Either way I actually enjoy the story/charecters in this game! Overall a very good time.

This is my second time playing through the game's story (since save data doesn't carry over from the Vita version for some reason...) but I had a good enough time. I personally find the story a little silly and repetitive, but it's not a big deal since it's mostly just an excuse for these characters to dance to some pretty good remixes of classic P4 songs. The story's over in a few hours anyways. Out of the three dancing games this one's my favorite for it's wealth of content, character writing, and remixes. I do like all of these games though, simply because the Persona dancing games have my favorite mechanics out of any rhythm game out there. (I find the Project Diva games to be a little overwhelming sometimes.)

I do kinda wish the DLC was included in the PS4 version since it was a re-release of the Vita game with little to no upgrade or enhancements. This game feels like it had more heart put into compared to P5D or P3D, with the presence of a story. I plan to chip away at getting a platinum trophy for a bit.

Unironically the best spinoff story Persona 4 has.

What a thoroughly average rhythm game with characters that make me feel good when they're on screen

Leave it to Atlus to make a decent visual novel story mode for a game that honestly needs to story whatsoever... again. This is stupid and fun and I love it and the songs fucking slap.

Persona 4 spin offs stop having forty paragraphs of filler challenge

Not really a rhythm game player, but this was pretty good. Completely 100%'d the game, even All Night difficulty. It was truly great, really enjoyed.

As Scooby Doo as Persona 4 gets, but the music's great.

Amazing soundtrack, lovely story. - Platinumed.

probably the best of the three because it's the only one with an actual story. also somehow the characters are (mostly) safe from spinoff personality syndrome as opposed to some other spinoffs (cough cough P4A)


best of the series. the only one where most of the remixes are good

best persona dance game. story isn't great but everything else about this game is amazing.

Rhythm/Dance motifs really fits P4 like a glove. Dig the fact that the game is pretty much fully voiced. All the new designs are awesome, and cha- I mean- Yu is stylish as ever. The HUD is also pretty impressive, super clean and stylised- perfect mix between design and functionality, I guess that's a trademark by this point so... yeah. The adventure segments were super charming as well.

I'm a sucker for rhythm games in general so everything that doesn't use touch screen BS is almost guaranteed to be high regarded in my book. Gameplay is fun and does It's job of making me vibe hard listening to the remixes.

Yep, good game.
