This is useful as characters are split up on multiple occasions, with the most prominent incidence of this being around the middle of Story Mode. Following the appearance of the mysterious ‘Midnight Stage’ and the disappearance of four members of “Kanamin Kitchen” (The idol group led by Kanami Mashita – who has been referenced in previous games on multiple occasions), the Investigation Team are forced into this new world where their Persona’s are ineffective and they must rely on dance to both survive and rescue those trapped in this world.Īlthough fairly linear in the way you can approach each chapter, the same route tree from Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is used, allowing you to see how story events chronologically correspond to one another. Persona 4: Dancing All Night see’s the Investigation Team come together for a new adventure, one which is more than they bargained for when agreeing to perform as back-up dancers for Rise Kujikawa’s comeback performance as an idol during the “Love Meets Bonds” Festival in the city. Serving as a canon instalment in the Persona 3/4 timeline, Persona 4: Dancing All Night takes place after Persona 4 Golden’s epilogue chapter, although all characters have adopted appearances similar to their staple appearances in other games. While I actually managed to Platinum this game, I would say that it is perhaps the weakest Persona game released to date. Potentially their last game prior to the launch of Persona 5 in 2016, the development team have opted to completely forsake traditional combat and pit the Investigation Team into dance battles with Persona 4: Dancing All Night. These spin-off’s have seen the familiar characters presented with a whole range of different battle genres – from 2D fighters (Persona 4 Arena / Persona 4 Arena Ultimax) to first-person dungeon-crawlers (Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth). Although years passed before anything else was done with the title, in recent years, ATLUS have treated the title with a range of spin-off titles. Persona 4 proved to be an incredibly successful JRPG for the PlayStation 2 to end its life on, capping off a console generation which prospered with a fair few memorable RPG’s.
