'Persona 4: Dancing All Night' (PSV) Details Game Modes - Screens

Funky Student isn't funky enough to bust a move with Rise and the rest of the Persona 4 crew in Persona 4: Dancing All Night.

Persona 4: Dancing All Night is a story-driven music game that takes place after the events in Persona 4. Players get pulled onto the Midnight Stage when the spotlight turns to mega-idol Rise and her junior group, Kanamin Kitchen. Members of Kanamin Kitchen have disappeared and it's up to the Investigation team to mount a rescue mission - only they discover the same monstrous Shadows from the Midnight Channel. To make matters even worse, their Persona abilities are rendered ineffective, and The Shadows in P4D can only be defeated by dance, so bust out powerful dance moves to save the day!

The summer following the events in Persona 4 sees Rise return to Inaba after spending the summer back in her old life as an idol. After hearing rumors about the Midnight Stage, she checks a certain website at midnight and sees a mysterious movie clip and, you guessed it, winds up on the "other side." Worse yet, she finds out her junior idol peers from the group Kanamin Kitchen are missing as well. She has no choice but to send an SOS to the Investigation Team to help rescue the missing idols.

Not even Riddle-senpai could have seen this twist coming: Normal battle tactics don't work against the Shadows on the Midnight Stage, but dancing does! Rise, the Protagonist, and the rest of the Investigation Team will have to dance their way to victory. 30 pulse-thumping tracks make up the new Persona Sound in this rhythm-based action game.


When Persona 4: Dancing All Night releases all you wallflowers are going to have to check out the different game modes. First up? 

STORY MODE
All the people who checked the game out at E3 seemed somewhat surprised that there was in fact a story mode (testament, I guess, to the amazingness of the Persona 4 soundtrack and upcoming remixes, etc.). WELL GOOD NEWS, THERE'S A STORY MODE! It's presented in similar format to Persona 4 Arena/Ultimax's story mode and will follow the Investigation Team as they solve the mystery behind the Midnight Stage and how it ties in to Rise and her junior group Kanamin Kitchen!

Then of course, there's:  

FREE DANCE MODE
How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Git gud! Free Dance mode is where you can practice the game's songs to try for that personal high score. Because if you don't, you fail the song on E3 livestreams in less than 30 seconds and totally embarrass yourself. Seriously, use Free Dance mode to practice and practice a lot. Plus, in Free Dance you can try out the songs with the difficulty, partner, and costume of your choosing. 

Let's not forget about the rest: 

SHOPPING
Tanaka's Amazing Commodities are back! Here you can purchase character costumes and more with the P$ earned from performing well in the songs. 

COLLECTION
Music player, character profiles, gallery, high scores and online leaderboards, and more!

The Persona 4: Dancing All Night Launch Edition will retail for $49.99/CA$59.99, while the Disco Fever Edition will be $79.99/CA$99.99.
