I thought the subtitle was a translation mistake, it wasn't.

Seems like it might be fun? I dunno. I'll wait and see. I'm confused, for the most part.
To be fair, Vita is getting a fucking dancing game. Any true fan of Persona is not actually waiting for a dance game to be satisfied
I mean it's quaint I guess if you like those gross Project Diva titles, but for the vast majority of planet Earth, even most people who like Persona, Persona Q and Persona 5 and Persona 4-2 Fighter are the real announcements. Vita game is a total fart.
You can say that to audience bought into a fighting game too, right?
I'm looking forward to see how market would respond to those 3 games
I somehow don't exactly see how a Persona MeiQ spin-off is seen as Atlus favouring the 3DS over the Vita, or looking down on the Vita and what not. I mean, they're both the exact same thing -- spin-off games made to explore their #1 brand at the moment.
And honestly, though I can see how MeiQ has more of an appeal to the usual audience that posts on GAF, I wouldn't be very surprised if P4D ends up being as succesful as, if not even more sucessful than P4Q in terms of sales on the long run. P4D being developed by the company behind Project Diva is a sign that they're trying to come up with a quality title here, and one that will cater to an install base that has already shown to be fond of niche experiences.
Well, I guess I'm just in the camp where I'll enjoy a good game regardless of the genre. We're getting the next Persona on PS3, we're getting a MeiQ clone on 3DS and we're getting a rhythm game on the Vita. Three different experiences for Persona fans, why would anyone be mad about anything?

Actually, I've always wanted the MC to show off that swag of his in dance moves...now it's finally the time.

I imported Diva F on Vita. It looks gorgeous on the system. Very crisp, gameplay is also very good.
If there are some kickass Meguro remixes I'm all game for this, will import Japanese version. Will probably also be import friendly enough too for people who can't read Japanese, much like Diva F.
Oh and it would be a shame if they didn't port over the "Diva rooms" for this title. Would be the ultimate fanservice.
I JUST WANT TO STROKE KANJI'S FACE DAMNIT.
.....man what a Sunday it has been.

I agree... I don't see people who like dungeon crawling rpgs taking interest in fighting games spin-off... But it sold well even then... I think it doesn't matter for Persona fans, they'll buy whatever Atlus releases.You can say that to audience bought into a fighting game too, right?

Fixed for truth.
Or, you know, atlus said let's make a dance game and then got the developer of one of the best dance games to make it and that developer is comfortable with the vita.
Nah, obviously Atlus says fuck the vita, system sucks

Day 1, then.
I'm guessing you don't know how about the Persona music tours.
If done right this can be the biggest selling Persona spinoff.
Ikr, I was excited for it when I woke up this morning. I still play the Persona OSTs on a weekly basis during my travels.
Vita got the best version of Persona 4, so that's still something. I find rhythm games fun, but I usually don't like the overly cheese Japanese pop in a lot of them, and the ones with good music are too fucking hard.
I'll probably get this if I could get it for like $20 on a PS+ sale or something.
Also, would rather have the dancing game over Arena, because I hate what ASW did with their fighters this gen, least GGXrd looks like classic ASW.
Yep, was listening to Persona 3 and 4 tracks within the last week.

Where is my waifu Chie?
There is no true fan, you either a fan or you aren't. And for the vast majority of planet Earth I don't think Persona games are a blip on the average person's radar. I don't see what makes Suplex Hold more legitimate than DAN also, considering that both are of completely different genre from main Persona.

Considering Miku and P4G are two of the strongest selling titles on the platform (#2 and #3, I believe?) this is pretty smart, as cross overs go. And I can't imagine there are many that are both Persona fans and Vita owners but don't have a PS3...so I don't think they're leaving many die hard fans out in the cold with no P5 on Vita. If they do exist, they can just wait for the enhanced port I guess
Anyway, as a fan of rhythm games and Persona music this is a no brainer.

Yeah, I think people are really underestimating how popular this could be.
Besides Tekken P4A is the best-selling fighting game in PS3.
Some Persona fans, may not necessary be fans of fighting games, actually bought that. Total anecdotal evidence but even ladies who don't usually play fighting games have got that too. Because P4A has been announced to have canon story line.
From that I could say some of Persona's audience is not necessary fans of Persona as an RPG, but rather the setting and storyline. (I'd argue more than half of Persona4's audience in Japan is like that, but that's totally from my ass so you can ignore it).
And yes, both P4A2 and P4D stories are canon.
It shouldn't. It's pretty much just a matter of the teams who were assigned Persona spin-offs doing what they do best. The Vita already has a critically acclaimed version of Persona 4, as well.

i'm glad i have this thread to tell me what sort of games i should want
i'm not a very big persona fan, mainly because i don't really like rpgs, but i like persona music and adore rhythm games, so this probably interests me more than most other announcements
i'm probably an anomaly but still

Why? Both dev teams probably got to choose the system they were most comfortable with. Obviously, the EO team would go 3Ds and the Miku team would be Vita.

Weird that they are still calling him Hero when I thought P4A gave him a canon name.
It's not canon. They use different names for the Persona protagonists in different media projects. It's left up to the people actually making them (manga, anime, radio dramas, etc) and Atlus doesn't care.

Is as canon as was to get in line with the Anime.
They have Persona music concerts you can access from right within Persona 4 Golden. I know about it. But, I also know if you are a Persona fan, what you want is
a.) something that either moves the story forward
b.) something that continues to highlight what the series is about, dungeon crawling and combat
c.) the atmospheric allure of high school life
I guess Persona 4 Dance meets the story requirement (I cannot imagine how godawful the story must be to connect to this dancing stuff), and Persona 4-2 fighter does as well.
But it's Persona Q and Persona 5 that are continuing the series legacy and expectations. They are dungeon crawling focused RPGs with social link stuff and combat oriented.
Of course any true fan of Persona would obviously be waiting for a game like that more than a dancing game, since Persona was not about dancing and never was. I don't think them having a concert in P4 means we should expect this. To me, it screams "milk."
Of course I acknowledge there are many
I wasn't suggesting you were not a 'true fan' if you wanted this, I am saying that if you are a true fan of Persona you know what the series is about, and it's obviously not about dancing. It wouldn't make logical sense to therefore anticipate a dancing game in the series. That we got it is just a thing, you may like it because you like fanservice or incidentally like rhythm games like project diva, but it's definitely not something true Persona fans must be happy about on Vita. It is the shittiest project they announced last night as far as I'm concerned.

The bigger question to me is:
Will we get Troy Baker playing with a guitar?

Give me a rudimentary visual novel story mode and I'm all in. Bring on the dojima dlc.
Amir0x, please stop derailing this thread with nonsense where you try to put yourself in a position to speak for all fans of a series. You're not well equipped to do it here. Persona 4 Dancing All Night is definitely catering to what the fanbase would want, especially in Japan. You just have to accept that, and that it is not for you because your tastes are different.

These rhytm games can be quite popular, so its a good sign, or how do you mean?
I dont think there is much sign other than they found Vita to be the best choice of platform for this particular game that they wanted to make.
Didnt you just mention that Persona 5 might be made for the 3DS? I tried looking in the previous Persona countdown threads, but i couldnt find any mention from you regarding spin-offs, only one post where you mention Persona 5 (i might have missed something, that is why i ask).
But that's not what I was saying. I was saying of all the games we got, it is the one least in line with the series legacy. That is objectively true. The series is about dungeon crawling and high school life.
Obviously therefore it would make sense for part of the fanbase to be less happy about the Vita game being that, since it is the least related to the series legacy.
What's a true fan? Is it similar to something being too anime?
You could start by cutting it out with the insults to anyone who might be interested in this game.

After the Hanako DLC, right?
This is the reason why I hope P3 music makes it in, even if it's DLC.

You don't have to throw stuff in like "that is objectively true" or whatever when making your arguments. It just pisses people off and continues to derail threads because you pat yourself on the back. You've said whatever you want to say, that's enough. Move on.
