It's a serious game with some silly moments to help break up the monotonie. And what does Rise being an idol have to do with anything? It's not like she's the only character in the game.

You're downplaying just much of the game is silly and/or frivolous. It's a lot of it. There's no expectation that the characters don't do fun things.

And... why does it matter that Rise is an idol? Because it's an idol dance game. Yeah, the other characters are going to join her. But you're making it sound like the idea of idols and P4 are completely foreign and unrelated.

You took the game way too seriously if you think it's some kind of atrocity to show the characters dancing.

EDIT: Oh, one more thing. What kind of timeline are you proposing for this Sega theory? Sega won the bid for Atlus in September and on day 1 they demanded this game? Or did they wait until they actually had control on November 1st? I'm thinking all 3 of these were in development before Atlus was sold.

Yes, that's exactly what I think happened. They won the bid, made some character models, and slapped together a trailer. Two months is enough time for a company that makes these kinds of games to produce three character models and some simple game-play footage. The game is still a whole year away, it's obvious Sega just wanted to squeeze their own game into the event. There are a lot of companies that make rhythem games, it's no coincidence that this one is being made by the same company Sega uses.

“Persona 4: Dancing All Night, too, is pretty much done for the most part, but we’re about to make more dances and events for it,” continues Hashino.

That said, this week’s issue of Dengeki PlayStation magazine reveals that the game takes place after the events of Persona 4: The Ultimax Ultra Suplex Hold.
