Review Details

Persona 3: Dancing Moon Night

10 hours to clear, though it can be played in perpetuity. (Number reported by Atlus)

It basically follows P4D’s foundation.

Charming characters dance with a distinctive choreography.

The dialogue is fun.

Accessories for the characters can be arranged alongside a variety of costumes.

It’s refreshing to see the 3D character models move vividly.

There aren’t any new systems or mechanics added [from P4D], but a setting to modify note timing is available.

Character voices during dances can be set on and off [like in P4D].

“Commu” mode is fun to watch because the 3D models move expressively.

The PS4 version is the one to get if one wants to enjoy the game on a big screen, while the PS Vita version makes the “scratch” input feel smooth.

There are difficulty settings, and the game is somewhat difficult overall.

It has a high degree of completeness as a game for fans.

There is a wide range of songs.

Persona 5: Dancing Star Night

10 hours to clear, though it can be played in perpetuity. (Number reported by Atlus)

Good sense/taste can be felt from the production side.

“Commu” mode is where players can partake in conversation events, motivating one to see more and keep playing.

It would have been better if the VR mode was more substantial.

Sometimes songs can feel a bit too long, but people who played P5 can enjoy a variety of remixes.

The PS4 version looks beautiful graphically, and so does the PS Vita version.

The PS Vita version is easier to play compared to using a controller [for the PS4 version].

This game is cool and stylish, creating a clear contrast with P3D’s pop aesthetic.

It’s basically the same as P3D, but the UI design is different, so the change in atmosphere is felt.
