I think mine would have to be World Map-Last Area from Nocturne, because of the epic as hell guitar in the song. Along with Persona 2 (both IS and EP) overworld themes.

Tell me about it. For such a conversational person, he sure is popular enough for people to talk about him constantly when he isn't here.
No one can blame you, those dance moves are fresh
Dammit, Yukiko. Jumping up and down isn't dancing. It's like she's doing an half-assed version of the jumping jacks.
I honestly don't even say that as a slight, just an observation.
Double standards all over the place.
Dantis isn't quirky enough for that title. Awkward and going against the mold maybe, but not quirky.
What are you talking about, she is displaying some advanced level footwork!
If you're wondering why I omitted the other 4 characters, it's because their dance moves are weak.
Switch out Yukiko with Naoto and I'd agree with you.
If I saw a girl doing what Yukiko's doing in that gif at a club, I'd buy her a drink out of pity.
Not many people can effectively cosplay as their self.
It is so gimmicky.
It's like Yu told everyone to get ready for a potential dance competition, and Yosuke didn't bother practicing in advance, so when the time came to dance, he just took a garbage can and worked with it.
He gets points for innovation, but his dance step overall... Meh!
Naoto definitely had a slick Michael Jackson thing going on, but she almost drops her hat and kills the rest of her dance by trying to catch it.

Can we just secretly just turn PersonaGAF into a thread for learning how to dance, and more importantly, how to be fresh while doing it? Admittedly, P4D excited me the least when it was announced, but the more time I've had to sit on it, the more I'm actually becoming interested in how to get over twoleftfeet-itis in real life. Dantis can be the instructor. =P
I think we both know what needs to happen nowIt's better than doing elementary school exercise routines on the dance floor.
We'll settle the issue in P4D. Yukiko vs Naoto, no holds barred. WINNER TAKES ALL.

Fantastic choice
Rise knows the dance technique of "The eyes follow the hands"
Another pretty iconic disco thing.
Rise is adorable.
Back to the original subject, I really love Meguro's jammy Nocturne/DDS soundtracks. I think they're some of his best works, and I loved when he gets jammy in P3/4 and some of the remixes of P1/2.
Nocturne's last map is a good example of this, as is Hunting: Betrayal from DDS2. In P4, I think it's best shown in The Almighty. It's almost prog-rock at times. He really jams out in these instrumentals, and I think it's when he's at his best. I do like that he uses the persona series to branch out into pop and hip-hop, but a good Meguro jam session is bliss. I hope he brings a bit of that heat to P5, although I have this weird feeling P5 is going to be very jazzy/bluesy.
I like these songs because they're so incredibly out there for video game music, you just don't see it a whole lot. Usually guitar solos devolve into pure buttrock, and maybe sometimes they'll throw in some violins for extra "epic". Don't get me wrong, I love plenty of cheesy buttrock JRPG soundtracks, but Meguro's stick. I can listen to them whenever. Another good example of this quality is from DDS: Manipura. Seriously, what a fantastic guitar solo in there. It's so natural.

Everybody's awful, Maybe that's the point.
If anything, Dantis is a 100% pure thoroughbred grump. Or maybe a grouch.

He's come a long way.
Oh c'mon man those spastic movements don't got nothing on that smooth snapping.
I actually think he dancing is cute lol. it requires some coordination at least unlike Chie's weird pelvic thrust.
Oh, hey guys what's going o-
SORRY FOR HAVING SOME DEPTH TO MY TASTES AND INTERESTS, RON.
This is literally impossible.
LOL.

I better see you in the what i've been reading thread, you pleb!
Books are for nerds, Jintor.
YOU'RE NOT MY MOM!
Dantis makes BS blanket statements and then immediately contradicts himself?
He should debate tiers
Dammit, I choked on my drink. You guys are never gonna stop posting that are you?
Not really what I'm talking about at all, but whatever. Like I said, it's not to slight you.
I do wish your criticism of P4D was less... Neanderthal though. "(x) is too girly" isn't something I'm too accustomed to hearing, post-high school.
At least not from people I respect.
This is that thing where people talk and you listen:

Topic was the new spinoff games Persona Q and Persona 4: Dancing All Night. Thanks to keats, LollipopDave, Todd, and TrueSelf for coming on this one!

I don't know what it is about talking about dancing that gets people so feisty.
I better see you in the what i've been reading thread, you pleb!
There's a What I've Been Reading thread? I literally never go into the OT side of GAF.
OR AM I!?!?
Nah, not particularly.
I know what you mean. I'm just kidding.
More Michael Jackson-like dancing would improve P4D a hundred fold. It's powerful stuff.

GAF is pretty erudite if you know where to look. The threads are monthly though so you have to keep updating your sub links every month.
I just finished watching Persona 4 The Animation. Boy am I ever late on that one! It was okay. The best parts were usually the Event scenes where everyone is just hanging out having fun, but did I really get anything out of that that I did not already get playing the game? (The answer is typically no, although they were pretty good at visual gags and such)
One of the highlights was this ridiculous/awesome/ridiculously awesome tune from the last episode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX8YAeS-884
It's like someone took the original song and got Andrew W.K. to do a remix of it or something. It's so absurd that it becomes amazing. It's like Meguro wanted to make it sound as uplifting and glorious as humanly possible and at no point stopped to ask himself "Is this too much?" Deep down he knew nothing is too much. I applaud him for the fact.
As a tangentially related sidenote, the music was probably one of the bigger pros in the Anime's favour. Some good tunes, especially towards the end. I was happy to hear Lotus Juice's voice again in that one credits theme. I liked how the School Trip episode used so much Persona 3 music (to the extent of using Burn My Dread for the opening credits/commercial breaks and such). Good use of music all around.
It made me all the more aware of the fact that I'm basically running on vapours at this point when it comes to Persona. It's like Methadone for a Persona addiction. Bring me 5 already before I do something really stupid like watch Trinity Soul.

SMT + dancing not entirely unprecedented (kind of... NSFW)
