To be clear, the PS4 version is currently:

- digital only
- exclusive to the physical triple-pack (the one that comes with P3D and P5D)
- exclusive to Japan

I was wondering why atlus hadn't ported their vita personas yet.


I see they're already doing it and starting with the right one

It was unreasonable to hope they'd update the visuals, but I'm disappointed all the same.

Now non-Vita owners can discover that you can take that incredible soundtrack and make an incredibly bland game out of it.

I've always enjoyed it...kind of a stupid silly story, but it's fan service, pure and simple. It's a rhythm game, and one I enjoy playing sometimes.


And this is just adorable

It was my last Platinum, I think. That soundtrack was so good, it made the average story mode bearable.

I hope they learnt some lessons, because that was a slog of planetary magnitudes, compared to P5 and any other game in the series.

IIRC they didn't bother with a narrative for P3 and P5 Dancing. Does that count as a lesson? I think so.

Also, it's pure wishful thinking on my part that they'll do a Mewtwo and make this available in NA to those who preorder both the other dancing titles, but I can dream.

They are taking out the huge story mode in P3/5D, so that is one improvement. Where they need to focus is the note charts.

Why is it bland? I am fairly excited for P5D and P3D but I haven't played P4D, so I am just curious.

The actual rhythm stuff just isn't very hard or interesting, and a decent chunk of the songs note charts just don't end up fitting with the gameplay style, often asking you to hit icons that don't really even have any correlation to the music, which is pretty key to the genre. It was outdone that year handily by Superbeat Xonic.

This is ignoring the vapid story mode, which you should also do.

Goddamn....Well, Taiko No Tatsujin it is then!

It was a fun game for what it was, but ignore the story mode.
I never expected anything grand from the story mode...but is it that bad?

I liked the mess of a story mode that we got personally. Made everything fun lol!

So I'm sad that we aren't getting any story for P3D and P5D. But I'll live.

That PS4 version or P4D better have all the DLC AND Miku.

It's absolutely awful. I hated the game at first because the story mode was what I focused on. I went back to it some time later and stuck to just the songs, and that was when I ended up coming around to it.

Wait, if you buy the triple pack, do you get the game in a disc, or a code for digital download?

I think I read that it doesn't? But if you already have the DLC for the Vita you don't have to purchase it again.

It's a download code at least in Japan (And if it's not getting a physical release there, I'm pretty sure it won't get one outside of Japan either). I'm still confused why they wouldn't be putting the game up itself for individual sale. Maybe it's a temporary thing to help drive up sales of the triple bundle?

Still waiting on an announcement for when P3D and P5D are coming to the west, hopefully the port of P4D will be coming here too.

I really enjoyed P4D, the story mode was tedious but the game itself was really fun. I'm in for the triple pack if it comes to the west.

The story mode in this game is hilariously campy and the soundtrack is fucking incredible, so i'm glad more people will be able to experience it.

It's totally fine. There's a lot of good character moments, especially with the younger members of the investigation team. Dojima and Nanako also get to do things. These characters already completed their arcs in Persona 4, so it was just fun seeing them again confidently helping other people face their shadows.

Well, if there's no story mode, I take it with an ambivalent view. I suppose it also means that characters are simply going to be "there", with no further exposition or reason, just dancing for the sake of it. That takes out of the equation some of the risks involved, but it's also a lost opportunity: what's been of P5 cast since the main adventure? Is there anything new to say of their P3 counterparts? I'm sure they had ideas for these characters, who know when or if we see them.

I just wanted a leaner story, with some sense of pacing instead of redundant chatter. Now is so lean is not even there. The game's about music, so is not a deal-breaker, but yeah, it's a surprise, I expected something else.

As a fan of all of the many spin offs to Persona 4 where they tried to add story elements, them not trying is absolutely an improvement here.

There is some kind of scenarios. There not removing story content completely.

We see scenes in the trailer like Ren,Ryuji, and Yusuke in the Morganamobile and the girls in swimsuits together.

We just don't know how meaty it is.

Also I liked P4D's story. Kanami was a surprisingly enjoyable character and it was fun to watch all the characters interact.

Though it still makes me laugh that this supposed light hearted spinoff opens with.

Hey, that's actually cool. I'm more comfortable with that approach, instead of a full story mode, or the absence of it.

And yeah, that opening in P4D also gave me the creeps. I expected some dancing, but then... ;)
