Wired Review: Persona 3 FES Amazes With Style And Value

The PlayStation 2 has seen more roleplaying games than Wired cares to count. Blame Final Fantasy VII for the glut of me-too titles that are essentially clones of that beloved, yet poorly aging game. In this sea of mediocre cash-ins, it's difficult to create a game that gets recognized on its own merits.

Persona 3 accomplished this feat in August of last year by combining stylish graphics, innovative gameplay and an epic story that never once referenced a certain silver-haired neo-goth.
