Persona 5 Dancing In Starlight Is Incredible!

Good afternoon everyone,

Last night's stream featured the return of Persona 5... in the form of Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight. It is a rhythm game where you press buttons on the controller to match where the notes are going on screen... and it is addicting. We went well past midnight, and we haven't done that since we were playing Persona 5 Strikers! 

One of the big pluses about P5:DIS is that it fits in nearly perfectly within the events of Persona 5 Royal and Persona 5 Strikers, actually fitting in between the events of both game. Sure it's based more on the vanilla version of Persona 5... and there is the issue of Caroline and Justine being the hosts in the Velvet Room but for me the game has its place in the timeline. There is a lot of the same charm and banter of other games in regards to how the characters talk to one another which basically encourages going for the Social Links to see how over the top some things can get.

The dancing portion is really enjoyable, and there are enough difficulty settings and modifiers to keep things fresh (or make things easier), Plus the Persona 5 sound track is awesome enough to want to keep playing the game and lose track of time... which was certainly the case when I was playing Royal and Strikers through out the year!

Now I did go back into the game to bang out some achievements that I know would be tough to get based on trying to figure out certain dance partners. Thankfully there was a guide for that.  Now I did get access to knew Social Link scenes but I didn't view them yet because we're certainly featuring Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight next Friday for damn sure!.

On a side note: Virtually impossible to get quality screenshots because as a rhythm game, taking a hand off the game pad would mean a lot of misses.
