Much like P5R compared to P4G this is a lesser game in most regards except presentation. Flashier and better looking but shallow when it comes to any kind of narrative or characters. Also the music isn't as good here.

I really enjoyed the way that Persona 4 Dancing was able to apply the themes of Persona 4 Golden to a rhythm game in a way that was still meaningful and it was nice to hang out with the investigation team some more. It would be difficult to apply the themes of Persona 5 to a rhythm game so I don't blame them there but man, leading with the fact that none of the cast will remember anything that happens and then setting up a social link system where characters have revelations about themselves in relation to dancing is really weird, why have that if they're not going to remember the growth?

Still a fun rhythm game but it wasn't as enjoyable to play through.
