Heartbeat heartbreak remix is really good.

 

[CrimsonFist]

No PV2, although I suppose it might make more sense if that were to coincide that with the famitsu feature next week.

 

[MSMrRound]

So...Christmas outfits eh?

 

[Dantis]

SKI TRIP OUTFITS YESSSSSS

Also it's interesting that Yukiko's is by far the most different of the dancing styles.

 

[Lollipop Dave]

Yukiko looking great as expected!

shame about the song.

 

[CrimsonFist]

I guess the trailer gives away that Yukiko is the dancer for Snowflakes as well

 

[Setsu00]

Oh god, the cooking talk is back. I knew it was coming but having confirmation makes it even worse.

 

[Dantis]

Oh god, the cooking talk is back. I knew it was coming but having confirmation makes it even worse.

The dialogue for the game seems to be properly shit-tier. I wouldn't expect anything at all from the story mode.

Also it's interesting that Yukiko's is by far the most different of the dancing styles.

And it's the best looking style, too!

Story expectations dead

It's not like I expected a good story in the first place considering how ridiculous DAN's story premise is.

 

[Rainy]

Rise's rejection dialogue absolutely killed me, it made me feel like a complete asshole. I'm never doing that again. I'm glad i never faced Yukiko's rejection dialogue, from what i'm hearing it would have been even worse on me

I just rejected Yukiko today, I felt kinda bad but I'd imagine if I had rejected Rise hers would have been worse.
(Hm I'll youtube Rise's rejection tomorrow..)

 

[Antiwhippy]

Were people actually expecting the story of DAN to be good? Given the track record they have with their other spin offs already.

It's a rhythm game, kept my expectations low.

I'm here for the music and the button presses.

 

[MudoSkills]

I was expecting DAN to set the new gold standard in terms of excellent storytelling and character development.

I remain optimistic.

 

[Antiwhippy]

It'll be the footloose of our generation.

 

[KenjiGlove]

Yukiko dancing looks pretty awkward to me, probably because of the song.
Too bad we didn't get to see her original costume in action.

Arena and Q were fine, and Dancing shouldn't be dragged down by some of the issues that hurt Ultimex, ie. overly large cast, trying connect everything to P3/4, needing excuses for constant fighting and Sho. It's a Dancing game, so I'm not expecting a masterpiece, but there were a few hints in some of the other trailers that it might at least have something of substance.

[UltraGunner]

I'm not feeling that Heartbeat, Hearbreak remix, then again it's gonna be hard to improve on the best song in the game

It's a rhythm game, kept my expectations low.

Yeah but Canon

 

[convo]

I am pretty pleased how great the models in DAN look, makes me giddy of how much more expressive the characters will be in P5. Also FluxWaveZ is banned? What happened there?

 

[Reanimatoin]

Probably not going to get a lot of love for this but that trailer was REALLY boring.

Other than that spin move, she basically just stood in place and flailed her arms about a bit.

Probably my least favourite style so far.

[Lollipop Dave]

Probably for recommending School Days in that HolyBaikal thread

Spoiler

I don't actually know why

 

[Jintor]

oh hey today is april 10th mhey? maybe it's time to start another persona day by day runthrough and then also ramble incessently about living in inaba('s equivalent)

Have you found the equivalent of the Rainy Day Beef Bowl challenge? It's weird out of the all the things in P4, the stuff I would most like to experience is the food.... except meat gum. shudder

Edit: I would also be open to trying the weird takoyaki in P3.

 

[muteki]

I'd really like to see a complete song start to finish. With how the timing and audio is in these trailers I can't tell if the dancing is synchronized to the audio or not or they are just collecting various steps from different points in the song. Yukkiko's dancing is a little more "out there", but hard to judge if it isn't matching the audio.

"Yeah, she's definitely amazing! I wonder what her sizes are?"

Good lord.

I might end up just skipping story mode like I did with Ultimax. No regrets.

 

[Jintor]

actually the town where i am is famous for its beef... and i've found the optimal way to get it is in a giant bowl of ramen.

it's not portal-to-the-meat-dimension size though :T

 

[arue]

This part surprised me and made me cringe a little. Yukiko sounds like an old man there.

I'm just waiting for that Naoto trailer now.

Hrm... Well at least they acknowledge the cooking reference is out of nowhere.
Why must I have faith? D:

 

[Kazzy]

It's a rhythm game.

Almost makes me wish they hadn't included a story mode at all.

 

[PK Gaming]

Yukiko's trailer was pretty good. They've been pretty similar for the most part, but I liked how Yukiko's also touched on what it's like to be that "perfect person" who's always put on a pedestal.

I will never get tired of Yukiko acting like a goddamn weirdo.

 

[Meia]

Just like the reference to meat at the very end of Chie's trailer, there's a reference to cooking at the end of Yukiko's. I have to imagine at this point they're doing this on purpose...

 

[Dantis]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I'm surprised that it's bad. Really, I'm saying the opposite; I'm expecting the story to be made up entirely of discussions of things like Yukiko's cooking and Kanamin's 'sizes'.

 

[Sophia]

Yup, that's definitely ballet. Heartbeat, heartbreak is a good song to show it off to as well.

Also, Dantis, you need to embrace the silliness of the story. It's not like a dancing game based off a murder mystery was going to have a very serious one anyhow.

 

[Olengie]

Santa Yukiko. Yesh

 

[Kazzy]

Persona is inherently silly in its current form, always has been.

Who knows, maybe Yukiko has gotten better at cooking

 

[Sophia]

Persona 1 had you fight a children's toy. While a song called "Child Abuse" played.

It was always silly.

Shut up! I'm trying to main the whole "Persona 1/2 are super edgy, Persona 3/4 are bubblegum bullshit" shtick.

Something being silly isn't inherently bad. PQ is silly, but it's still brilliant.

The dialogue we've seen so far is just bad.

One of the antagonists in Persona 2 has a paper bag over their head. Another is a clown. Persona 2 also had idols before Persona 4 did it.

'Serious' and 'good' are a false equivalence.
Ultimax had some harsh shit happen, but that didn't stop its story from being trash.

EDIT:

Yukiko's pervy comment might have been a result of her repeated exposure to Yosuke/Teddie

They're corrupting her

Now that you mention it, doesn't Chie call Yosuke out on sounding like an old man? Something about... "cutie pie"?

Hmm

HMMM

[Sophia]

I think the size comment is something that probably comes off as far more innocent to Japanese consumers, honestly.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Really though, golden has a whole bunch of talking about naoto's size too.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

wasnt that only in the second hot spring scene?

She looks like she's about to perform the fusion technique.

Which was also terrible, like a lot of Golden's new scenes.

But with whom? YOU decide!

Ulala.

Which was also terrible, like a lot of Golden's new scenes.

Didn't they do that twice in vanilla?
