Like all the Persona games, Dancing All Night is aesthetically flawless. The music is well-suited to a rhythm game, and the animation of the dancers is incredibly well-done. The controls are excellent, although they do start to fall apart at higher difficulties where complex rhythms really need some kind of visual indicator. I know most people will probably just brute-force memorize where they fall, but that's where the fun runs out for me. Unlockable items can add or remove challenges, and only a handful of the costumes are "anime sexy." The story mode is full of redundant dialogue and regressive social interactions, so I skipped most of it. Overall an excellent rhythm game if you can tune out the "writhing waifu" element.
Four years...
It took me four years...
But I have it
No matter how many times it's been said in the past, Persona 4: Dancing All Night may just be one of the strangest decisions Atlus has ever made. To take their critically acclaimed murder mystery and turn it into a rhythm game, complete with professional dancers, tons of different artists providing remixes for old songs, and, uh... Hatsune Miku. And to somehow make it good?
I won't speak on the Story Mode since, again, it's been four years, and I remember none of it, so the most I can do is talk about everything else.
The music is the best out of the Dancing series, giving spotlight to even some of the more obscure Persona songs that you don't tend to see talked about, like the opening to Persona 4 Arena (the first one), and even extending some other songs with new lyrics. I'm not gonna try and act like I understand the deeper meaning behind "yeah, flooded apple pie, left out 'til somebody cries" but I still think it's nice to hear more from one of my favorite soundtracks ever.
Gameplay is surprisingly reasonable, though there are some charts that can be a little wonky. The hitsounds are satisfying when timed right, and the controls are smooth enough to feel fun. I'll add, though, I played the entirety of the game by scratching with the analog sticks instead of L1/R1, I just can't see how those two buttons feel comfortable with everything else. I'd maybe understand it if it were L2/R2, but sadly that just isn't an option. I find my fingers to be a little too close together on the former.
I feel like I'm repeating myself, but I can't stress enough just how weird it is that this worked so well. Even weirder how the other 2 dancing games that came after fucking sucked LMAO
Proud to finally have my FC on every song in the game, 9/10.

I love a good Rhythm game and the persona games are a delightful romp through teenagers killing God through the power of Friendship, with persona 4 focusing on Powerhouse Chad Yu Narukami; but this game left a lot to be desired. The trophies weren't too tedious to get for the platinum but someone on the team clearly had a BDSM fetish because the amount of girls getting tied up (often Teenagers which is a whole other level of fucked up) was a bit ridiculous
Having to sit through that tedious, uninteresting and repetitive storyline for unlocking more stuff was terrible, I seriously fell asleep multiple times during the visual novel bits
The tracks were great for the most part, gameplay in the harder difficulties started getting convoluted after awhile and the size and shape of the Playstation Vita did not help at all
Definitely check this out if you are a sucker for Persona 4, otherwise don't bother and just listen the soundtrack

¿Qué es Persona 4?
Persona 4 es buen rollo, es ese sitio al que siempre puedes volver para pasarlo bien, despreocuparte y recordar buenos momentos.
Por tanto, Persona 4 Bailes es un paso (je) natural en su desarrollo. ¡Y tremendo cumbión! Todos tus temas favoritos, al estilo de juego de los Project Diva, con remezclas bien perronas y agradables para vivirlo a saco.
Un juegazo que me da todo lo que yo necesito.
En historia, te dan a entender que ocurre después de los eventos del P4 Peleas, pero aporta poco a la trama, sólo necesitas saber que tus pjs favoritos vuelven a salvar el mundo, esta vez con el espÃritu del ritmo racatanga en sus venas.

they could give me a pooping simulator with persona 4 on it and i would still play it
the story is really boring and i skipped everything about halfway, the remixes are amazing, the gameplay itself fun to work with and hearing the familiar songs newly made in story mode while playing really is a nice callback
