Persona 3 Dancing Moon Night/Persona 5 Dancing Star Night Review Thread
- Thread starter Deleted member 17627

For P5D, I was fearing that was going to be the case from the first couple of Social event scenes characters have. They laid into Ann being a ditz, Futaba being a geek who spouts gamer gibberish whenever she can, Morgana being absolutely obsessed with Ann and himself, etc. But it definitely gets better as they go on.
Except for maybe Morgana. I felt they laid the haughtiness and love for Ann a bit thick the whole way through.
P3D's were so great, though. I can't harp enough about how important the actual time the game takes place in relative to Persona 3 is. P3D as a whole has an emotional undertone that P5D kinda lacks, which is represented through song titles like "Our Moment" and "Moonlight Serendipity."
Even the final song has a beautiful choreography that is made to evoke the struggles of the characters and final scenes of Persona 3 in a really cool way.
When you say steelbook are you referring to the box that the Japanese releases came in with the Soejima art of Aigis and the two protagonists? Because for whatever it's worth that was just a cardboard box.
It's the main theme of each game (also worth noting that these are just the actual in game version so they're only like a minute long), the credit themes, the credits for P5/P3 and then brand new days in P3D and a Last Surprise remix.
There's also concert footage songs in both, Laser Beam in P3D which doesn't have a version with choreography and Rivers in the Desert in P5D which does have a separate version with choreography.
My son (4 years old) knows all the tracks of persona 5, he watched me play it and he fell in love with characters and music, the tracks are always palying on my phone and in the car, he will lose his shit when i show him P5DSN.
His favorite tracks: blooming villain, will power, rivers in the desert, life will change.
But 60$ is too steep for music game, i will wait a little, does it have a 2 player mode?

Some highlights from "the bad" section:
Yeah, I'll wait to get a complete version of the game(s) on sale.
Complete as in DLC included?
Because no such version exists for the years old P4DAN and I don't recall ever seeing the DLC go on sale either
Even the P4DAN included in the PS4 bundle doesn't come with any of the DLC
Deep physical price drops might not take too long
Digital, maybe
There will probably never be a complete version. Atlus is being scumbags with this DLC.
Edit: I'm watching some gameplay videos and was Vic Mignogna sick during recording? Junpei sounds so bad.

I am sort of starting to fear that Morgana is going to turn into another Teddie where since he got all his character development out of the way in the main game, he just got delegated to a onenote mascot character. Really hoping this doesn't turn out to be the case because I feel like Morgana went through a lot more than Teddie did in their respective games.
The more I see of both games, the more you can tell that P3D was already being worked on and then they just decided to might as well make a P5D; this isn't even a thought, this is what actually happened apparently, both versions started development in 2015, which is hilarious since the actual Persona 5 would have been a year away. I think the fact that they developed P5D under these circumstances is why there a lot less impactful moments in it: the team working on P3D had the main game, two re-releases, a spin off, an 11 volume manga, and four films to work with to characterize their game, the P5D literally had nothing.
Honestly why I feel like I haven't been as much of a fan of either this or the anime, both seem like they are just trying to cash in on hype rather than make a heartfelt product.
Nah I'm a big enough Persona fanboy that I'll be happy about it.
I just want to see these characters more. The music is just a bonus.
I am too lol, but I was still let down. Even the characters are flanderized.
Well I'll have to see about that myself. Persona Central's review outright says they aren't.
Besides even if they are frankly the "flanderization" only bothered me in regards to Akihiko and Teddie in Q.
Well, I hope you enjoy them regardless. More Makoto was enough for me to a degree :-3
If I didn't have a deal I would wait. But getting persona 3-5 Dancing games for the price I have is a good deal and not likely to get much cheaper looking at how the Digital Version of P4 on Vita always kept a higher price than the actual game itself.
Just watched the game explain video where they played Rivers in the Desert...
Dear god, that is awful... and it's not even like they took it and accidentally ruined it by making it more dance/rhythm game appropriate... as a slightly-more-than-casual rhythm game player, I just don't see losing myself in that version.

It'd be a brilliant package if P3D and P5D were included as one (which they even said they were considering to do, but decided against to "emphasize each game's individuality"). As two separate full priced titles, it's a lot.
Do you have any questions? You can use PSVR as basically a character model viewer, or to walk around the bedrooms of the characters in their rank 6, 7, and 8 social links. The VR is well done in that it doesn't make me motion sick like some does, but the scenes are so isolated that it feels like you're constantly taking the headset on and off. I used it once per room at the end, personally. Walking around uses left analog stick and it's a smooth gliding movement, which sounds worse than it is in practice FWIW.
I also got the chance to play the Vita versions. Don't.
Interesting, may I ask why? I played the demos of the games on PS4, but the full versions on Vita. To my knowledge, the only notable difference is VR compatibility, and the PS4 versions being 60 fps.
These should have been bundled together and sold as one full priced game. There isn't two games worth of content here, even at slightly below retail price. I'll wait for a sale.
23 songs in P3D/P5D wihout any DLC.
P3D is more "unbalanced" as there's only 7 tracks from the original game while P5D has 11. Each game has the new intro and a Live song. Everything else are remixes.
My biggest issue with both is the gameplay. Too much visual polution and it's difficult to know which rhythms the beatmaps want you to follow. I also had other smaller issues with the grade system, how you can get a sucess in a song and pontuation. Those issues are more easily noticeable in the all-night difficulty.
I truly hope Atlus doesn't quit from making rhythm games, but they really need to make the gameplay better.
Definitely
A Rock Band type of import for P4DAN's songs would have been great for this
Going off of this, I will at least say the choreography is better in the P5 dancing game.
There's definitely 25 songs in P3D/P5D without DLC. Two are unlockable.
I'd say it's the best part about P3D. It's awesome seeing these characters interact again with the great models, plus the environments.
Nope.
You're right. Let me guess, unlockable by the social events ?
You know I see people give this remix shit a lot but I quite enjoyed it in the demo.
Also lol at all the comments asking for Joker in Smash. Man I'd love that.
I don't see the problem at all. It's a fantastic remix imo. Not as if that's only version of the song in the game. There's the original and two remixes, so if you don't like that rendition just play the original.
I've heard from people who bought the JP version that they had to buy it again. I've also heard that you get a discount if you already have the DLC on P4D. I don't know which one it is.
Oof, that sounds awful, and looks like it plays just as bad. I loved 4DAN, but this was very off-putting. I will check out the demo for a hands-on impression. Kinda glad I cancelled my pre-order tbh.
What's wrong with the vita versions? I love P3 so I was looking forward to grabbing it eventually, but I have a hard time playing it on a large screen :(
I'm curious too. I played both to completion and ran into zero issues. PS4 seems the far inferior format to play on.
Is there a physical bundle for Vita? Not really into rhythm games on console.
Oh, that's pretty much all I needed anyway. Persona stories are bunk but I like the character interactions.
Only if you import the non-English JP version. It is quite nice though, coming with the 4 disc soundtrack, and I'm glad I went for it.
I've played a good bit of them and the main issue I have is that the package isn't as good as P4 DAN since there's no campaign mode to it. The story is basically that they're in a dream and they'll forget everything that happens, so they cut loose for a night and the social links expand on that a bit. If these were bundled as a trilogy with the P3/P5 games having more of a campaign for $60, it would be an easy recommendation. As it is, it's up to how much you want some quick fan service.
In my experience, there is nothing wrong with the Vita versions. Feels just like P4D, and is easier to play than on a large screen.
