It's a mediocre rhythm game at worse and a tolerable RPG at best. Yeah plot wise it's lacking "its a music game what do you expect mister wr." It stems from Persona where is the Persona. I'm seeing my people but I'm not feeling them. Maybe this is because I played this for only an hour but there is very little going on in that department. Anyway as a rhythm game it's alright. 6 key thing going on and it can be relatively challenging, couple of original songs it's alright.
I actually really enjoyed my time with this one. I just needed something immediate and easy to play in the evening, and something Persona felt comforting. The rhythm gameplay is intuitive and satisfying, executing long combos to the best tracks from Persona 3 is exactly as it sounds, fun. It also helps that Dancing in Moonlight has great remixes that sound wholly different to the originals, whilst also sounding more in line with typical dance music. The character customisation is another highlight, boasting great outfits in particular; however, it is hampered for the duration of the game as Yukari’s and Junpei’s social links are reliant on you swapping in new outfits and accessories every dance to rank up, forcing you to put together awful, incoherent looking outfits for the characters, instead of letting you play around with stylish combinations. The social links are still underbaked and largely uninteresting, however the scenes with Elizabeth in were surprisingly amusing.
In conclusion, Persona 3 Dancing in Moonlight is a great way to appreciate Persona 3’s music whilst being further entertained by sharp rhythm gameplay. Overstimulation at its finest.
