Persona Dancing: Endless Night Collection Reviews
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.
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.
Persona: Endless Night Collection; containing Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight, Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight, and Persona 4: Dancing All Night releases on Playstation 4 on December 4th 2018. Do you think you will pick this title up, or are rhythm action titles not for you? Let us know in the comments, or on Twitter, and check back with us for more coverage of this and other Japanese titles.
If you love Persona, definitely check out this collection. There’s a lot of fan service here, specifically made for you.
Any Persona fan will be delighted with seeing their favorite characters together once more. If you enjoyed Persona 4: Dancing All Night, or love either Persona 3 or 5, there's a good chance that you'll be pleased with these spinoffs. This would be easier to recommend however, if both titles were not split up as separate $60 games, with lots of added DLC.
All said, both Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight and Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight are fine additions to any library, most especially those who enjoy rhythm games and the more hardcore fans of the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series.
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.
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.
While I still don't know that the world needs dancing games based off of the Persona series, it's obvious that Atlus could do way worse than Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight. Both games show clear effort in terms of visuals and animations, and if there's any RPG franchise with soundtracks you'd want to groove to, it's Persona.
Addictive gameplay and a smooth, stylish presentation keep Persona Dancing: Endless Night Collection from becoming a simple, time-wasting cash-grab.
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.

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.
It's actually really hard to pick between the two which might be a better game, but for me, that Last Surprise remix in Dancing in Starlight really steals the show.
Persona Dancing: Endless Night spotlights the interstellar soundtracks from the last three Persona entries. Payoff is limited here, since these are side stories, but strong writing and interesting concepts accentuate the rhythm experience wonderfully. This collection, and each of its individual games, is meant for anyone looking for a great rhythm game that features fantastic music.
Featuring a great value of three games in the package, the Persona Dancing Endless Night Collection is the best way to experience Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight. While a bit grindy later on, some killer tracks, entertaining gameplay, and a refreshing aesthetic, the games in this collection are chart-toppers.
Both games suffer from the same issues of small track-lists and bizarre character-locking, but if you're a fan of Persona, you'll still end up having a hell of a lot of fun.
Persona 3: Dancing in Starlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight were the sequels we weren’t expecting, but are a great follow-up to the initial outing.
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.
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.

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!’
