VG+ has the regular game at $60 and the Disco Fever at $100, but that's with Canada tax.
It also has the placeholder date at 29th September, and confirms English dub only.

I've finally gotten past the 2nd dungeon in PQ. Really enjoying what I've seen so far.
Theo's haiku and the request attached to it is the highlight of the game so far.

Minor new detail from VG+:
In the Story Mode, there are 27 cleverly designed stages that you can play in 4 different difficulty levels for your favorite characters to fight off Shadows and dance the night away!
Pretty trivial, but we didn't know the length of the story mode before. That would also mean that not every song is playable in the story.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who loved that request.

I think part of what I loved so much about it was the characters going beyond their schtick.
Aigis just hanging out, drinking with everyone, Rise and Marie getting along, and Theo actually being appreciated.
I personally thought that we wouldn't see P4Dance! marketing materials until E3 officially starts, so kind of glad AtlusUSA decided to get started on that a bit early...so I imagine in my head that they are probably like:
"Let's get that out of the way so that we can focus more on other important titles at E3."
Yes? =P
That being said, really looking forward to P4Dance, but still got to wait until there's confirmation of a P4DAN R3 English special edition for South East Asian users like myself. Those dang DLC issues. Sigh.

Heh... well, I guess hope springs eternal.
I had a feeling we would be seeing some P4D NA news today, actually. John Hardin's tweet yesterday convinced me even more.

It doesn't come with the P5 DVD tho. 
It doesn't come with the P5 DVD tho.
'Cuz by the time we get P4Dance, P5 might probably be released in Japan and coming to us just a short while after Dance, so Atlus decided that there wasn't a need for the "Take Your Heart" Blu-Ray disc.
*dreams*
Oh, she has social links with everyone? Yay! I already committed to her in NG+ so I was worried I'd miss out on some crucial social links.
I will probably have to use a guide to max all the social links as it seems a couple of them for her are pretty hard to max in the time-frame you have.
It doesn't come with the P5 DVD tho.
In Fall everyone will already have watched in on Youtube a billion times.
was just about to say.
The quests in PQ are generally amazing

Fall release date for P4D is interesting. I think we'll see a repeat of last year's Persona release schedule - P4D released around late September and P5 in November.

Amazon says September 29 2015 for Dancing All Night www.amazon.com/Persona-Dancing-Night-PlayStation-Vita-Standard/dp/B00YFAIW4C/
It's a Tuesday!
It's a Tuesday!

Might not be the actual date. Pretty much every recent Atlus game has ended up releasing about a month after the initial placeholder, despite the placeholder dates looking likely.
Amazon placeholder is September 29. Date will probably stick or they wouldn't be so specific. (Usually placeholders are the 31st.)
Edit: Besten badly.
Edit: Besten badly.
Not really; I think most placeholders that aren't for games without general release windows outside of a year tend to be targeted at Tuesdays, nowadays. Etrian Mystery Dungeon is a game which had a very specific release date placeholder, which eventually proved to be wrong when Atlus USA announced the actual date of release.

9/29 is also the first Tuesday of Fall 2015. It's possible that Amazon translated the Fall 2015 release window into that date.

In addition, Devil Survivor Record Breaker didn't meet it's initial placeholder, and Lost Dimension's final date is about 3 weeks after what was first listed.

Rarely. If you remember last year, the Best Buy Ultimax 'leak' had a release date that was 2 weeks off.
That's not true either. There are a whole bunch of cases where the placeholder dates have actually been accurate. The current Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls placeholder date of September 1, 2015 is most likely the game's actual release date, based on precedent with the DR1 and DR2 placeholder dates turning out to be true. It's happened with previous Atlus games, too.
It's just that this P4D placeholder isn't to be taken as a confirmation.

They got Q right, and I think Ultimax was accurate.
As best as I understand it, Atlus provide a placeholder date which is their best guess at the time of opening preorders. So it's a date provided by Atlus, but they may or may not make that estimate.
I meant mostly with Atlus games. For whatever reason they have NIS games months before the release dates are announced.
They're not. In my experience they're almost never Tuesdays. But I'm talking about games in general here not just Atlus.

I didn't think about that.
Yeah, looking at a few games on Amazon, it seems I was wrong since most do say December 31, 2015 as a placeholder even though they have a window. I guess the games I've paid attention to are the ones that seem to usually be given specific dates.
I personally think September 29 is a likely P4D release date. With that being the case, it is very unlikely that Persona 5 releases in Japan before that date.

say about Mid-October?

I think I just ignored him on my playthrough, I don't remember why and I'm now wishing that I hadn't
Man, I really wish Break Out Of... or a remix of it was in P4D. It's the one song whose omission really gets me. I wonder if the fact that P4AU was originally supposed to release close to P4D prevented it and Persona Q music from happening.
Also the P4A rendition of Reach Out To The Truth remains my favorite. It'll take a lot for a P4D mix to usurp it for me.

Hopefully there will at least be an Ultimax DLC pack, although I can live without getting Today.
Break Out Of... and Light the Fire Up in the Night are the biggest omissions to me, at least if we're only counting vocal tracks. LTF is especially odd, since Maze of Life is in.
I really like that song myself and I wish there was a version of it in P4D too, but it's interesting to look back at the top 25 fan voted Persona series songs and compare it with the P4D list. Out of those 25, "I'll Face Myself" didn't even rank, so it might not have been considered popular enough to be included.
Wait a second... I somehow forgot Maze Of Life is actually in the game. All of the Persona 4 related game main themes are in P4D except "Break Out Of..."! Aw, man.
We discussed it before, but the list of music does feel kind of... odd, in some respects. Kind of like there's a slight lack of variety, or too many repeats, or something.
TheMrPliskin

"Break Out Of..." and I'll face myself are definitely the two songs that I really wish were in the game.
But yeah, something does feel off with song choice and I can't at all place what it is, I think that it might just be a variety thing.

There's so many duplicates. of the 29 confirmed songs, 9 are repeats, and 2 of those are repeats of repeats. The variety just feels lacking.
I know there's a few unconfirmed things too, and DLC, but I'm just going off the list on the website for now. And even then, some of the DLC is even more duplicates.

Not sure if this has been discussed here or not, but I think I should share this with you guys anyway. This is just speculation so don't take this as a fact.
So I was thinking the other night about why the characters are fighting Sandman and Pyro Jack in the latest Persona 5 trailer...
After thinking about it for a while I remembered the Velvet Room is a prison and the twin assistants are prison guards, and they're the ones in charge of the compendium. What if the Personas escaped from the compendium and you have to fight them in dungeons to bring them back?

I wish they had composed more original music. "Dance!" sounds great and I wish there were more tunes like it.

I think it's more likely the protagonists are being aided by Shadows some way, and thus the enemies are simply demons.
It seems they wanted to make P4D more of a tribute to the music of Persona 4, which is why Kozuka was originally asked to make "Dance!" a straight up remix of a bunch of P4 tracks put together (which he eventually rejected because it was too difficult to do). That would explain why there's a lack of original music but, I agree, considering "Dance!", some new tracks in that style could have been really great.
There is one unknown song that was on the official website's music list that was promptly removed, though. At least there'll probably be a few more original songs we haven't heard of yet, including some that'll be used for story mode.
Hashino specifically stated that the enemies were Personas and not demons, though.

I quite like the idea that Personas going berserk and being the antagonists is connected to the protagonist's mind in some way, since I think it was said that the velvet room exists there too.
Still no Famitsu costumes today.

Since P3 the Velvet Room has been thematic to the main character (Elevator ascending a tower, limo driving through the fog, and now a prison for a thief), so I'm not sure it will have major relevance to the plot.
We know that in the Personaverse, traditional SMT demons are shaped by humanity's belief in mythology rather than straight up existing as independent entities. Given the depiction of the train driver in the trailer clearly under some form of possession or control which involves "losing one's heart" if I remember correctly, I theorize that perhaps the Demons we see in the trailer are some form of Persona torn from the victim of "losing their heart."
This is just a personal theory, but given how Persona 4 was about a secret team of do-gooders aiding a small town police department against a secretive, singularly villainous murder, I think that Persona 5, with its team of roguish thieves in extremely unsubtle, garish costumes running around in Tokyo, will be about fighting against a massive, faceless entity, like a corporation of some sort.

Name that corporation SEBEC and we'll come full circle.
The pessimism surrounding Persona 5's 2015 U.S release date is crazy. I feel like publishers have completely destroyed any faith people have in release dates.
Currently the only evidence that might show that P5 won't be releasing in 2015 is lack of info/news on the game. But considering how Atlus seems to only really start marketing games like 2-3 months before release, that is not shocking.
