Persona 4: Dancing All Night is a rhythm game for the PS Vita, featuring characters and music from the Persona 4 series.

Gameplay is similar to other rhythm games such as Project Diva f, with the player pressing specific inputs in time with prompts that appear on the screen (which are timed to the rhythm of the song).

Playable characters include the entire main party from Persona 4, as well as Nanako Dojima, Margaret and newcomer Kanami Mashita. Each character has two songs to dance to, except for Narukami, who has five, and Nanako, who has three. Whilst characters can only dance on their own specific songs, they can also all be selected as the backup dancer for any other song, jumping in at specific parts of a song when the player performs well.

Dancing All Night also features a visual novel style story mode, which is functionally
similar to Persona 4 Ultimax's story mode. Atlus PR has stated that the story mode is
around 6-10 hours long.

The storyline continues from after the events of Persona 4, when the teenage mega-idol, Rise Kujikawa, returns to the city to re-take her show biz career. During that time, a strange video appears on the internet and the unfortunate people who watched it have gone missing! Members of Kanamin Kitchen, Rise's junior idol group, have disappeared and it's up to the Investigation team to mount a rescue mission - only they discover the same monstrous Shadows from the Midnight Channel. To make matters even worse, their Persona abilities are rendered ineffective, and the Shadows in P4D can only be defeated by dance, so bust out powerful dance moves to save the day!

The game includes 27 tracks in the base game, and more can be downloaded at a later date. Tracks are all taken from Persona 4 and its various spinoff media, including tracks such as Pursuing My True Self, Shadow World and Maze of Life. There are also several newly remixed tracks by notable Japanese artists such as Daisuke Asakura, TK, Norihiko Hibino and Akira Yamaoka.

A full list of the tracks in the game can be found here (Not embedded because it's huuuuge.)

By completing songs, players earn P$, an in-game currency used to buy new costumes for your characters. Included within the base game is nearly every alternate
costume that was previously featured in Persona 4 Golden. Additional costumes can be purchased as DLC.

Do you guys think it's worth importing this? I imagine that the DLC won't be easily accessibly outside of Japan, even if the game itself is region-free.
 
I really don't know if I am excited for this or not. I love rhythm games and Persona. But this just really seems ridiculous.

Which is also another thing I'm not really sour about. Fuck. Gonna have to get it.
 
Decided to import this after I saw a stream yesterday, I don't care about the story and I expect it to be digital only in EU (if it comes at all). I chose slow shipping though so I'll have to wait a while!

Time to set my 2nd Vita into Japanese mode for this and IA/VT
 
*continues to wait patiently for Disco Fever Edition to release in US*

Wonder how long the US will have to wait for the Marie & Adachi DLC.
 
Really curious to know if this is just another side-story or, with it being the game that takes place the furthest in the P4 canon timeline, and the last non-mainline game before the debut of Persona 5, will this be Investigation Team's :

I mean, technically, unlike Persona 3, the P4 storyline didn't end on the same "we've got a long personal journey ahead of us" vibe.

Yeah, you can do it, but with Vita it's a pain in the ass managing different region PSN accounts, I wish it had the same system as PS3 / PS4 (ability to switch regions/users anytime).

And you also need to buy card codes (or have a Japanese credit card) to buy anything from the store which is frustrating too, as they add 10-20% to the price of the game.
 
OP, I noticed that...

Music: “Never More.”
Costume: “P-color Selection Set.”
Costume: “Gekkoukan High School Uniform set.”
Costume: “P4G Summer Vacation set.”

...is listed twice under the DLC schedule, once for June 25 & again for July 2. I'm guessing that's a typo?

I'm guessing you meant for July 2:

Accessories: “Glasses set.”
Costume: “Cross-dressing + Kanji Seaweed set.”
Music: “Persona 4 the Animation set A”

Ugh. I hate myself for buying this, but I need something to scratch that rhythm game itch after IA was delayed. :(

Fully expect the story to be complete ass like all the other spin-offs.

Someone just told me on Twitter, haha!

Fixing it now.

No problem. Aside from that small typo, you did a great job on the OT.

Now I'm actually curious as to how the DLC will be priced. Aside from the DLC stuff coming with Disco Fever (still a missed chance to call it the Collectors Edition for P4 DAN:CE), I'm mainly going to stick with either the free DLC or just the music. I'm not one to buy costumes if they have no effect on the gameplay.
 
I'm pretty sure I screwed any chance of getting it this week when I changed payment method with amiami...so it will probably get here next week when I'm out on vacay T_T.

Really curious to know what costumes or songs they haven't announced yet, if any.

They should put out a season pass or DLC bundle.

Well, you sort of get a bundle of Never More & then the Gekkoukan High School Uniform & P4G Summer Vacation sets if you get the Disco Fever Edition, but yeah, I gotta agree I wouldn't mind bundles or a pass happening considering we've got a fair amount coming out over the months. Especially if it's like the Project Diva f 2nd where they have one for just the music & then another for just the costumes.
 
I'm in it.

I have plans for a regular P4D GAF competition for scores, if there's enough interest. I need to figure out how modifiers, power-ups and items fit into scoring before proceeding with that.
 
Is there any word on the Asia Version of the game? It's not going to be Japanese Audio and English text, is it? ;_; Play-Asia lists it as something like "Asia Version (Japanese)" which is making me think no.

Wait, the JP version has english subs?
 
2 chapters in and I already miss dingo. The UI is a damn mess.

And this might give the Arena games a run for their money when it comes to pointless, inane dialogue.
 
The wait until September is going to kill me.

I can't wait until the remixes start all popping up on Youtube.
 
How much is/will this be on the JP PSN store? Might pick it up considering I want this game a lot and it feels like forever till EU'll get the game.

I have a bad feeling this game is going to be digital only release in EU, like project diva. Sigh.

To be fair F2nd did get a physical release on both PS3 and Vita now that they know the market is there. I'm confident we'll get this physical too.
 
Amiami sent me my shipping notice for my Vita so I'm hoping I get it by Friday (went with EMS since I bought the special edition slim to compliment my OLED).

Can't wait to play despite me being a bit terrible at these type of rhythm games - mostly due to not playing them really.
 
I'm interested in finding out how challenging this is. The video uploads I've watched so far from today seem to suggest it's a bit tame -- a 5 star (of 10) song is has pretty sedate beats to match with your button taps.

If hard mode songs are more challenging then I'm in on launch week.

Edit: Saw that video of all-night difficulty, that looks pretty sweet. Tempted now...

6980 yen, it's up for preload.

Is the free DLC free forever or does it switch to paid after a few weeks like the Diva F 2nd themes?

Crumbs, I've had Diva F 2nd since launch on the JP PS Store and never looked into DLC until a few months ago. Oops.
