Persona Dancing: Endless Night Collection Reviews
The protagonist from P3 is so over being emo and ready to boogie.
I have to say, while I thought the story was a bit lacking and some of the unlocking felt like a grind, I had a wonderful time with the Persona Dancing: Endless Night Collection. The gameplay is still rock solid, the characters and animations have improved over the last outing, and there is tons of replay value here. I loved all the playlists and the VR model viewer was a nice touch as well. I know folks may think the $99 price tag is a bit high, but that’s 33 bucks a game for three pretty great games, so I don’t really think that is too bad personally. If you’re a Persona fan this a must-own collection of titles, and if you’re just a fan of great rhythm games in general, you’ll find a lot to love here as well!
If you love Persona, definitely check out this collection. There’s a lot of fan service here, specifically made for you.
Persona: Dancing Endless Night Collection is the best version. The Persona dancing games should have never been separated in the first place. Unfortunately, this collection is filled with weak rhythm games. If you're looking for a good rhythm game, then look elsewhere.
Since the creation of PaRappa The Rapper and its release in 1996 for the first PlayStation console, musical video games have been a great revolution at all levels and have been well received by gamers.

Persona Dancing: Endless Nights Collection is an overpriced project with a lot of small and noticeable flaws, but a dance component in a combination with a great music and bright stylish graphics is really cool. If you are a fan of the series, be sure to try.

There are a handful of oddities around the Persona Dancing: Endless Night Collection, from the strange purchasing structure to how the stories in these newer games actually feel like a step back from another in the series from a few years ago. That being said, the core gameplay is both intuitive and addictive, the visuals are fun and the music is fantastic. That there are some other things to do that add an additional sense of progression is just the icing on the cake and I found it very hard to put these games down.
Persona Dancing: Endless Night Collection is merely an expanded version of Persona 4: Dancing All Night with no substantial changes or additional modes.
P-Studio have managed to put together an excellent package that will appeal to both Persona fans and rhythm game enthusiasts for different reasons. For one group, it’s our beloved Persona characters enjoying themselves in a silly context that’s a delight to experience. For the other, an earnest rhythm challenge in a well-presented package. As a result, this may well bridge a path between the two groups, hopefully spreading the fun of the series and genre on display to more people.
Unfortunately, with no story to speak of, the relatively small playlist, and the overall mediocre gameplay, it's a hard recommendation otherwise. When Atlus decides to make Persona 1/2 Dancing or the future Persona 6 Dancing, they might want to consider changing the gameplay and adding a story mode like they had the first time around.
Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight are both very good, but they don’t quite feel like they’re worth their asking price.
At $99.99, this is a hefty sum for the only way to get Persona 4 Dancing on PS4, but considering the entire package as a whole, the three rhythm games do provide a good deal of content...even if the entire track selection and remixes aren't top tier. There is some good stuff here if you can deal with the poorly-designed gameplay interface, but only the most enthusiastic of Persona fans will want to fork out for this collection.
Whether you're fans of the franchise or a rhythm game enthusiast, Persona Dancing: Endless Night Collection is a compilation that's hard not to recommend.
Persona Dancing: Endless Night Collection should satisfy all your musical needs as a fan of the series, but the gameplay is not exactly that great. The story in the two new Persona Dancing games is also terrible so strictly as a rhythm game, they are not that good. Taken as a whole, this collection offers substantial value bringing all the modern Persona Dancing games together.
At their core, both are solid, fun rhythm action games with kickass soundtracks that you can have a great time with, regardless of character knowledge, and despite the games being exact copies of each other. If you like the genre and have that itch, then get on your dancing shoes and enter the Velvet Room. The stage awaits.
The Persona 3 and 5 Endless Night Collection is both a visual and audio masterpiece wrapped within a game. All three games look stunning on both the PS4 and PS Vita as well as run perfectly regardless of the massive power advantage the console has over the handheld. Persona 4 comes with a story and an actual plot yet the others skip that and takes you straight to the main reason people play these games, the awesome dancing! Either way, both styles work really well and offer enough exposition to keep you engaged between dance-sessions. If you’re a fan of rhythmic games, the Persona 3 and 5 Endless Night Collection needs to be in YOUR collection. You’ll be unable to stop yourself from ‘Dancing All Night within the Moon and Starlight!’
Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight and Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight could be two simple yet funny rhytm games, but are held back by a severe lack of content.

As it stands, Persona 3 Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5 Dancing in Starlight are fantastic ways to explore their respective soundtracks from a new perspective. However, they lack the glue that a story mode brought to the previous game in the series that could have made it feel like a cohesive whole rather than a broad but disparate list of songs and customisations.
The Persona Dancing Endless Collection's price tag is the true shadow of this rhythm compilation. If you choose to do battle with your wallet, you'll be rewarded with a trio of rhythm games that are filled with style, remixed beats, and another chance to spend a few hours with those RPG party members you developed such deep social links within previous adventures.
Persona Dancing: Endless Night Collection is a good rhythm game, but not a particularly great one. The dances, costumes and events are solid, though gameplay could be a bit better. Between easy to miss inputs, occasionally hard to see prompts and asking thumbstick inputs makes it tricky. Not enough to ruin the experience, if anything it will all come with practice, though it is not as intuitive as Taiko no Tatsujin or DjMax. Even still, between the fun visuals, cute dances and returning to the beloved settings, there is enough to delight fans, even if it starts off rather bumpy.
