So Mass Destruction isn't even in the base game? Or is that just a different version?

So amazon listing for the double pack is back up and fixed yet price error order hasn't been canceled. Too early to think about being in the clear?

Uhh in that case should I have this ordered somewhere else as a backup? Are these expected to be in short supply?

No idea about short supply, but a backup might be a good idea (I might do that myself once it's up on best buy). I believe with the Crash Bandicoot Switch price glitch, they just never even shipped some of the games to customers and then cancelled after the release date. Something like that. It's really a gamble with Amazon nowadays.

I think supply will be easier to get since it's not a mainline title like Persona 5 so not everyone will be trying to get the CEs. On the other hand though, because it's less popular than a true numbered title, Atlus might make less stock than they normally would.

This game is so not coming to my country, which is sad, because I really wanted to buy it. Importing it would be a great idea though, but I am sure it would be more expensive. Damn.

Small update.

Amazon US has upgraded both my Persona Dancing Collections that I got during the price error to release date delivery. So so far it looks like it's going good!

I sure hope the collection goes up on best buy... but not even the base games are up on there.
Atlus' page doesn't mention best buy for the preorder either... though it wouldn't remotely be the first time best buy wasn't listed on the preorder page and it showed up at best buy... It took a while for best buy to be added for persona 5 if I recall correctly as well.

Oof, those prices.

So didn't these bomb in Japan? Is there an issue with these games?
I can't speak for Japanese fans, but I know a portion of western fans were unsatisfied by the first game, be it for the variety of little foibles the core rhythm gameplay suffers from or just that it honestly wasn't that exciting a game. Despite carrying the P4 moniker, it really doesn't stand in line with P4 in terms of quality.

I don't know what to expect from a gameplay standpoint, but does this game allow for 2 player simultaneous play? Bust-A-Groove 1 & 2 are some of my favorite games of all time, and if these games are anything like that, I'd be so excited. I'm not getting my hopes up, though.

That bundle price for all three seems a lot more reasonable than the individual prices. I guess that's what they're banking on.


Should probably add P4D, that's new.


They didn't bomb. But they didn't do great either. The issue is they're light on content (less than P4D), didn't really improve on gameplay at all, the remixes are inconsistent quality and they're full price titles with a lot of pricey DLC on top.
They bombed, they sold good out the gate to persona fans but then it just tanked because the value was terrible aswell as the reasons you listed

No, there's no multiplayer of any sort. The single player controls take up the entire screen.

There are per-song leaderboards that go by raw score, which is influenced by the support/challenge items you pick.

If it helps, I've been streaming and posting videos from the Japanese versions of the games lately. Some samples at the games' highest difficulty:

Awesome, thanks for posting the Best Buy link. Been waiting for it to be listed, $80 is much easier to swallow.

Maybe I'll get lucky & once again get a game a day early from them like a few others I've gotten over the year.

Teaser for the bundle has just been released!

Basically it's the picture at the end.

I played and platinumed all games at the Japanese release.

As a whole I preferred P3D, as the remixes were leagues better than the other two.

To put that in comparison, I think that P3 would be behind P5 and P4 in terms of non-remixed soundtrack.

Any word on if both DLC characters are included if you got the LE? I find it annoying lately with pre-order bonuses don't apply or aren't included with the damn LE (looking at you, Atlus & that Persona 5 controller skin).

CAG says they do:

(hmm, doesn't explicitly say BOTH, but I'd imagine so)

They are

The two DLC will also be free for the first two weeks for the vita version. Although they were cross buy in Japan, so that might end up applying to the PS4 version too.

They can split them up and make one version free and the other not despite them normally being cross-buy. I've seen it done that way before.

Cool, thanks for the confirmation. I keep looking towards this, but then I keep remembering this comes out the same week as Smash.

Kinda wish they could make it so I could get all the P4D DLC pre-installed on my PS4 & have it ready for when I get it. Hopefully won't be too much of a pain considering all the free DLC & all the songs.

Does anyone have the € price for the digital Vita version? I'm not ashamed to say I need to budget my video game purchases, and it would be great to know in advance.
Don't find it anywhere.

Here's a look at the DLC content that's included with the game as a preorder bonus!

Amazon being weird. They just rescinded release-day delivery. New date of two days later, December 6. Cancelled and re-ordered and now I'm back to December 4.

Gonna pass.

There was a point where I would buy games mainly out to support Atlus but after such bullshit practices like the overpriced DLC, I'm gonna pass.

I will cave and buy mainline games day one though, I know myself too well, but some of the spin offs seem too insignificant it's easy to ignore, like this one.

5 Arena will be tough though.

I can't do that without losing my accidental discount, lol

It's whatever, I imported and bought all song DLC in the JP store already so I don't need the US version right away. Mainly just need it for P4D PS4 since my DLC for that is stateside.

Huh. My price error order is still set for release day delivery.
I'm hoping the error will stick. Otherwise, I'm probably out, either until a large price drop, or probably forever due to the P4D bundle exclusivity if these things end up being hard to find

Any impressions? Is it worth the buy? I enjoyed persona 5 and love rhythm games but the price point seems high for what it is.

It's probably easier to gauge if you've played Persona 4 Dancing All Night, because these two games are definitely just more of that (albeit with distinct musical identities). There's a lot of videos on my YouTube channel if you want to see what gameplay looks like (almost entirely on All Night, an unlockable difficulty).

I'm torn. I want to get the collection because I'm a huge persona fan (music too) but at the same time feel like it's overpriced. Atlus definitely knows their fanbase.
