Quick Look: Persona 4: Dancing All Night

been refreshing for this one :-)

PER... SO... NA...

The Junes theme has lyrics? GET BENT!

Let me grab my bass.

I've been waiting for this.mp3

woo take me away

Everything's great at your Junes!

The Mass Effect dance alone is better than this entire anime game.

Your Junes!

This game is dumb as hell. I love it.

EDIT: There is actually a lot of rhythm games coming out this year (mostly for Vita) with Project Mirai for 3DS, Superbeat and Deemo for Vita. IA/VT also came out but that's JP only. Theres also an anime rhythm game for vita coming out on December so not really lacking on rhythm games if you are looking for it.

A Vita game? Waaahhh?

Also, fuck all the constant voice changes.

Yukiko's style is just so... Yukiko you know? Personally I'm diggin' Naoto's moves

This is all that I hoped this game would be I love it.

Not sure I'm into the in-game presentation. Project Diva at least had crazy music videos going for it.

This is some good fanservice.

Hey guys just wanted to let you know I believe there's one song that you can only unlock by finishing the story. You also unlock the hardest difficulty by unlocking it

I'll never own a Vita, so I'll never play this, but I have seriously been looking forward to it because I suspect that it will have a killer soundtrack that I will one day acquire.

FWIW, there is also an unlockable "All Night" difficult, which can be pretty rough.

Mods! Lock down the comments on this one. We've already hit the apex.

This is making me want to watch the ER again for the nth time.

"Do I have to wear this?"

There was a huge fall out with Dingo (the original developers of the Miku games) in general, is speculation that it has to do with they screwing the Love Live vita games (a shame because I fan of that franchise), so there is change in the credits since a while ago.

I knew from the trailers that this was going to be a mediocre rhythm game, but I was still sort of looking forward to it because Persona. When it was first announced I was hoping it would be some sort of choreograph planning game where I could make Chie breakdance and set it to music. But alas...

The music rocks but I'm not really enjoying it very much as a rhythm game so far, the layout feels a little harder to track than it should be and the notes tend to shift between beats kind of jarringly. Almost wish they had just copied Project Diva's layout or something. (Glad to spend a bit more time with the team, though, even if it's pure fluff.)

this game is so goddamn cute, i need it ;~;

This site is going to get me to play a Persona game one day isn't it?

@cale: WE MUST FIGHT

Man, it's probably fine when playing, but the placement of the rhythm tickers (or whatever) is killing me. It seems completely overwhelming when you have to focus on different sides of the screen like that.

Na....Nanako-chan....

Is there any fusing in this game? Any... Dance fusion?

23:03 The moment Jeff fell in love with this game

I just can't get on board with the idea that these spinoff games are supposed to be canon anymore. It's OK not to have everything tie together, Atlus.

Did they change Rise's VA for this game?

This was a real joy to watch! Great quick look, you guys!

"I don't want to hear about your meat power, that's the difference between you and Chie."

Stone cold, Jeff. Stone cold.

Man, I got the dumbest smile on my face watching this game.

Jason, stop skipping the story stuff.

Yes, she's voiced by Ashly Burch in this game.

Visually the game looks tremendous for a Vita game. I think I may have to buy this.

Yep. Same goes for a few of the characters. No Troy Baker for Kanji. Margaret and Naoto are different too. I believe the rest are the same as their P4G counterparts.

The clicking is driving me crazy. Its like having a guitar hero guitar that clicks too loud

This is making me want to watch the endurance run again

@turambar: They had to, since Laura Bailey was swamped with other work during the localization process. A real shame, since Bailey's definitely my favorite out of the original English cast, but Ashly Burch does an okay job here.

I was so glad when the patch came out later yesterday that let you map the rings to the shoulder buttons instead of the analog sticks and turn off the mid-dance voice clips. Made the game much better.

OK, the "Kanami doesn't make video games any more, just dances" line almost caused me to spit out my snack at work.

God dammit I think I'm going to buy a Playstation TV and play through P4 Gold and this...
