Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES

Strengths: Great Game & Price for those that missed out on the original Persona 3 release

Weakness: There is a lot to do in the game so you may have many sleepless nights

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES is a continuation of the great Playstation series this time on the PS2. With Persona 3 FES, Altus added extra content and tweaks to the original which was already a great game. If you are not a fan of the traditional RPG grinding, this game may not be for you since it is a long game and will require so level grinding to beat some bosses. The high school setting...

Persona 3 Redux

Strengths: Nearly two games in one

Weakness: Content not for everyone

Persona 3 was an excellent 3D dungeon crawler in the famed Shin Megami Tensei series of role-playing games from Atlus. Just released last year, it was a great purchase on its own. But this year, Atlus has taken it one step further by releasing the game yet again, along with its expansion (very nearly a completely new game) for an even lower price. Any fans of the genre should pick this up ASAP.

Persona 3 FES

Strengths: A re-release of the classic RPG Persona 3 but with improvements and tons of new content

Weakness: N/A

Persona 3 FES is a re-release of the Playstation 2 classic role playing game Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3. But it is much more than a simple reprinting, though that in itself would be much appreciated as the first game cost more originally ($50 vs $30 for FES) and is now nearly impossible to find at retail and commands a premium on the secondary market. Sure, Persona 3 FES doesn't come with the...

FES = Fundamentally Extraordinary and Satisfactory :P

Strengths: Great gameplay. Story. Content. Graphics.

Weakness: None

FEs is a rerelease of Persona 3, possibly the best game of 2007. Fes is a fantastic RPG. It does have adult themes so I would not recommend it for children. But otherwise it's a great game for teens onward. The story and gameplay are fantastic, there's ton of extra content, and the price is good. Buy it!

You Got Some Dating Sim in my RPG

Strengths: Good blend of sim and RPG. Good character development and story. Great art style. Catchy tunes. Large variety of personaes. Value priced with bonus content.

Weakness: FES should have been released from the beginning.

Persona 3 FES is the director's cut to the original that includes some slight tweaks, additional personaes and an expansion adventure/dungeon after the original ending. The game is part JRPG, part dating sim where social interactions are key to developing your persona. As the hero and eventual defacto leader of a special group of kids who can summon personaes (in a disturbing yet oddly...

One of the best!

Strengths: High replay value

Weakness: The music is not for all

Here we have one of the best JRPG's released this year. This is a updated version of the original Persona 3. It's also cheaper as well! It's also worth it just for the additional content added after you beat the original Persona 3. The graphics are also nice. Overall, highly recommended.

Contrary to Mitsuru's victory cry, Persona 3 FES is...

Strengths: 90+ hours of gameplay, strong character development, unique music

Weakness: Plain graphics, repetitive

Synopsis: In “The Journey,” you play as a male high school student who has recently transferred into Gekkoukan High for reasons unknown. Like an ordinary teenager, you go to school in the morning, hang out with your friends in the afternoon, and kick butt during the Dark Hour as leader of SEES–the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad–with your special ability: Persona. As the name...

Persona 3: FES (PS2)

Strengths: 100+ hours of gameplay over two segments, reduced price for more gameplay and content, in-depth gameplay

Weakness: Might be a double-dip for some, can be repetitive at time, passable graphics

Persona 3: FES is a "re-release" of the original Persona 3 for the PS2. It has the original 70+ hour adventure from the first Persona 3, though adds in additional content to that, as well as a completely new adventure. The game takes place between a school and a tower, which comes to life at nighttime. During the day, it'll be schoolwork, classes, interaction with friends, though at night, it'll...

One of the last great PS2 games

Strengths: Great Value, incredible replay value, lots of extras

Weakness: Game can get to be a grind, character AI can be weak

The original Persona 3 was a must-have PS2 RPG, if only for its unique story and crazy gameplay. It's a combo of dating sim and dungeon crawler, yeah that's right. Kinda quirky, but it works extremely well. Basically you are a student in a school and every night, time freezes for most people (except you of course) and Shadows come out to attack the minds of the frozen. Your job is to battle these...

Persona 3 FES Review

Strengths: Terrific price, great value

Weakness: Graphics are weak

Persona 3 FES is not just an expansion of the original Persona 3, it contains the original game as well as the expansion content. So for the price, it is very hard to beat a value like this. FES adds some stuff to the original game as well so it will be worth playing through again for those that have beaten it before. It's a much more refined package, which makes this the version to get. It plays...
