Persona 4: Dancing All Night is constantly too busy, bombarding your senses to the point where it gets a bit exhausting after minutes of play. They result in more of a gradual learning curve, allowing anyone to pick up the games and play, and the less cluttered screen gives your eyes a bit of a break, too. Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight undoubtedly play better because of these changes. The only real differences you’ll spot between the gameplay of Persona 4: Dancing All Night and both Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight are that scratches, including the Fever variety, are more easily identifiable, there are less distractions during gameplay, and that the difficulty has been toned down a little. To complicate matters, sometimes you’ll need to hold notes, press two at the same time, or perform a scratch, and all the while a Persona character will dance along. Button prompts emerge from the centre of the screen moving outwards, requiring you to press the appropriate button depending on their location.
Gameplay wise, little has changed from Persona 4: Dancing All Night.
