"I got the opportunity to sneak a bit of a peek at Persona 4 Dancing All Night behind closed doors at this year’s Gamescom — and I liked what I saw. Unfortunately, even though the game is already out in Japan, NIS America didn’t want to show us any of the story to keep it a secret. But, they did confirm that the story mode will be 11-12 hours in length, and from what we’ve seen online, could take some people a little longer." - Rice Digital
The Persona Dancing game vinyl soundtracks include soundtracks from Persona 3: Dancing in the Moonlight, Persona 4: Dancing All Night, and Persona 5: Dancing in the Starlight.
MonsterVine: "Persona 4: Dancing All Night is a surprisingly satisfying continuation of the Persona 4 story. Dancing All Night takes advantage of its incredibly odd idea and weaves a somewhat meta but always interesting story that manages to feel like a worthy Persona sequel."
Rob Pitt writes: There are very few games out there which would suit a rhythmic game based around their soundtrack. The Persona franchise is perfect for this immortalisation as their soundtracks have all been incredibly memorable and so catchy you’ll find yourself humming and singing them long after you’ve stopped playing.
The Persona 3 and 5 Endless Night Collection comes in two variations, the PS4 and the PS Vita editions. The main difference being that the PS4 version contains a remastered download of Persona 4: Dancing All Night, a game which was previously exclusive to the PS Vita.
So, whether you’re a Persona fan or new to the franchise – if you enjoy rhythmic games such as Hatsune Miku, Rock Band, FF Theatrhytm, or even Osu, you need to check these games out.
Having previously played Persona 4: Dancing All Night on Vita, I was excited for the Persona 3 and Persona 5 versions. That is, until I found out they don't have story modes. The music in this games is good but not fantastic to warrant a rhythm game. The draw of P4 was exactly its story mode, that was interesting, long, and made up for the low quantity of songs. Without a story mode, the low quantity of songs become an even bigger problem for P3 and P5.
Maybe I'll buy them only when they get deep discounts.
Dancing All Night had a pretty healthy amount of content. I still play it often on Vita.
The story mode was awful in my opinion. Played it once and never again.
P5 has a grand soundtrack, so that would be the one I would enjoy.
I like the fact 4 has a story to it as it gives the game more of a purpose as you work your way through it. However, the story isn't the greatest and it's quite long - borderline a mini visual novel with various song/dancing segments.
The two new ones basically get you into the action faster but you've basically heard all 25/26 songs within around 1.5-2 hours. The draw is that the songs are enjoyable to play along to and it's a fun game to just pick up and interact with via your favourite songs.
It's like Theatrhytm and Hatsune Miku Future Tone - Basically a list of great songs to play along with in Arcade mode. The difference there is that both of those games had a lot more songs upon release - Hatsune Miku has over 200 from what I can remember.
