Story[]
Due to learning about how Margaret's guest, Yu Narukami defeated Mikuratana-no-Kami by dancing, Elizabeth becomes jealous, as do Caroline and Justine in Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight. Due to this, the sisters challenge each other to a dance off, to prove who has the better guest. The losers would be "sent to hell." Similar to Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, upon completion of the event, everyone's memories of the events will be erased. Summoning the Phantom Thieves of Hearts and the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad to dance, they are challenged to hype the crowd up as much as possible, the crowd being the Sea of Souls.
Due to the Velvet Room being between and space and time, and the group being summoned in their dreams, they are able to visualise any dance they want, and their bodies perform the actions. In addition, Elizabeth uses this to be able to return to 2009, whilst Makoto Yuki is still alive, though still after the death of Shinjiro Aragaki. After completion of the ball, Elizabeth - due to the shame of how competitive she got - but also due to everyone having fun, decides it no longer mattered which team won. SEES's reward for taking part in the event was seeing Elizabeth herself dance as well.
Due to the characters getting their memories erased at the end of the story, the canonicity of the game is debatable, and no clear answer as to whether it's canon or not has been given by Atlus.
Gameplay[]
Alongside the dancing being exactly the same as Persona 4: Dancing All Night, a feature similar to the Social Links of Persona 3, here called "Social," exists. Makoto Yuki talks to the members of SEES, to learn more about them. This is the main way to unlock alternate costumes and accessories.
The player can choose a different partner for each of the fever time sections in a song, and this time, two different partners can be unlocked, once the ability to do so is unlocked through Elizabeth's Social Link. Partners will express their relationships while dancing, each with different choreography.
Hair color and colored contacts can be individually set, alongside accessories, allowing for more variations and combinations.
Dancing in Moonlight on PlayStation 4 is also compatible with the PlayStation VR, where you can view certain rooms and models.
