If the game had no relation to Persona and its music. I would have traded it back it day 1. My enjoyment of the game is based soley on the amazing soundtrack. The gameplay is so so and the scoring system is broken.

If you completely ignore the fact that it isn't actually good at being a rhythm game.
The fuck kind of rhythm game will fail you for missing three notes at the end, ignoring your percentage and notes hit entirely

With remixes of music from Persona 4.

UNiSON: Rebels of Rhythm And Dance had the same concept, but done much better.
And with a better story, hilariously enough.
A poorly mapped rhythm game with a few hit remixes and a few eeehhhhh remixes.
I wouldn't call P4D trash, but I did sell my copy after about two months. It's a fun time-waster, but as a game it was either too easy or mapped out so poorly it wasn't fun anymore. There wasn't a single song I can remember that was challenging and fun.
...shoot, saying that I sound like a hypocrite to say it's not trash. I'll just say there's certainly worse, then.
Still have the CDs from the Collector's Edition, now those are still great. I was astounded that Atlus actually put so much onto them. Was worried early on that we'd end up with the typical "Sound Selection" type disc.
Personally preferred it to Arena and Ultimax, but those aren't ivory towers to be toppled. Generally, I'm not fond of the visual novel format that the spin-offs took, regardless of the content, so I'm looking forward to Persona 5 returning to a conventional RPG form of narrative presentation.
I liked a bunch of the remixes, but the rhythm gameplay wasn't stellar. Didn't like the difficulty balance either, with Normal being too easy and Hard being too difficult.
I don't regret the money I spent or the time I invested into it, but it's very much an aside to what was a nearly perfect game in P4 Golden.

Preach. Shame they're making nothing but mobile games now, and their last rhythm game that I've heard of, Demons' Score, was money-grubbing, pandering garbage.
I'm surprised that this game was even localized. It seemed to get gutted in the process.

It didn't. If anything, I think the changed songs add to it. Country Grammar is fricking hilarious.
They actually redid the dances to match the song, too.

I enjoyed my time with it, personally.

Generally, I rate my rythm games the following way:
Is the music good?
Is the gameplay good?
Are the graphics good?
Are the unlockables cool?
Does it have Persona 4 music?
If the answer to the last question is yes every other answer doesn't matter any more and the game is automatically superior. I'm sorry but it's science.

One of the most bizarre English licenses for a Japanese rhythm game.

Still want one of those. Someday, perhaps.
Then just import the soundtrack onto your Vita and tap your fingers.

I like the Persona 4 soundtrack but most of the DAN remixes aren't very good...

I don't know, I don't have much experience with the genre but ultimately I thought it has a nice presentation, some great songs, and some fun unlockables. Definitely wouldn't call it awful, but not amazing either.

We need more out of left field things like that.
Unison had great taste in licenses. Stop The Rock was in there!
Opinions and all that
I really dig most of the tracklist, Snowflakes is GOAT
the only blemish on the tracklist, aside from dlc, is the walmart song
terrible
terrible song

The fact that it was actually made says a lot about Atlus's continuing milking of P4 until the well is bone dry.

They're good remixes. Bad for a dancing game. Only like three or four of them are actually fun to play, Snowflakes being one.
Why isn't the title screen music in-game? That's the best song on the OST.

I liked it a lot. I'm not super into music games and just like but not love Persona, so maybe whatever bothers most of you guys about it doesn't bother me. It was fun, cheery, music was as great as expected, and I liked the dialogue, characters, premise etc.
I also like Project Diva f2nd. I've spent barely any time with my copies of Xonic, Technika Tune or Deemo but I will eventually.

You sayin this is the best rhythm game period or the best rhythm game that Persona 4 can possibly spawn? I disagree on both fronts.
Let me know if you don't like it i'll buy it off of you
assuming codes haven't been used

Who writes the stories for the spinoff games? Surely not the same people who wrote the main game.
Wha...Remixes? What are you on about? What's a remix?
I just play Heartbreak. Over and over and over again. For hours. Heartbreak, Heartbreak.
How could you ever play a rythm game with that song and end up disliking the game without being total monster?

To be fair the main games and spinoffs have completely different scenario writers, not to mention having to do a novelty spinoff with no lasting permanent isn't exactly the place to implement avant garde literature.
Look to Catherine, one of very few games with a nuanced story for grown-adults(tm) if you need a vote of confidence.

Agreed, but generally there is a very obvious divide between those who came in on vanilla P4 and Golden, and those who came in OG P4 despise Marie and the other changes, why I do not know. It's honestly hilariously sad.
The only time where you can really say that Marie was a detriment was in the Golden Anime. In Golden, you can completely avoid her.
I love Persona 4.
I love rhythm games like the PDf series.
But P4D just didn't click with me and it makes me kind of sad. I love the music, but the actual game play just doesn't feel right. I do plan on going back and trying again but I'm not expecting anything out of it. I bought the CE too :/
At least I have a gold Teddy on my keychain now though.

We aren't getting a lot of Asian rhythm games localized nowadays. Even Miku just gets translated, which is for the best. Although having Share Your World or a few other English Vocaloid songs might be interesting.
It's fine if you have fun with it.
Project Diva F 2nd is one of the best modern Diva games, with DLC. Huge song selection.

Mechanically it might be the worst rhythm game on the system, and the story was pretty lame. Great soundtrack and presentation though.
I'm genuinely surprised they didn't get more backlash for the gay caricature. I think mine was the only review that mentioned it.
As a rhythm game, it's okay. Fairly innovative, but by and large way too easy, and lacking in content(and good music).
The story is the worst kind of nonsensical.
What do you think of Lara Nara in XCX?

The story mode to P4D was surprisingly good given that it had to be a game about dancing to kill evil monsters. The biggest problem with the game is that the track list is too small and that means the presence of a few bad remixes go from a minor error to a large one.
There isn't anything in Golden that's dumber than the crossdressing pageant anyway.

Bless whoever came up with the idea all those who worked to make it a reality
I have a love and hate relationship with this game.
Teddy/Yosuke were so unlikeable (where they at least had char dev in 4, it doesn't happen here).
However, the p4 gang is the scooby doo gang, and I can watch them in a xover with John Cena, turn off my brain and probably enjoy it.

Im not alone.
With every spinoff of 4 ATLUS performed a character assassination on the entire cast.
I despise it now.
I wanted to like it more than I did.
I had just finished Golden for the first times a few months before P4D dropped so I was super excited. This game was my first console button 'rhythm' game and it didn't impress me a whole lot.
The buttons being on either side really messed with my head, and I got a few headaches from it. There's still some fun to be had and I booted up as recently as last month to mess around.

As much of a disappointment the game ultimately felt to me, among the many pluses buried beneath the con's was that they made Naoto way way way too hot and successfully ended the waifu wars once and for all.
