VG247: Koei just confirmed that Persona 3 FES will release for PS2 in Europe on October 17.
The studio was on the verge of collapse when Persona 3 came out, and things were looking quite grim for Atlus. Regardless, many decisions made in the game paid off and became a staggering success.
Years ago, I was emulating the game on my laptop and the old thing died when I was about to get to the final boss. I'm more than happy to buy this remake when it comes out so I can finish it!
At the time I was immersed in SMT Nocturne and later DDS. I did not realize at all how important Persona would become for me years later.
Persona 3 FES was the first one that I played in the series. Looking forward to the remake.
Half-Glass Gaming: "Often considered one of the darker entries in Atlus' Persona series, Persona 3 definitely has a sinister vibe to it, and it leans into horror more than you might realize."
Even though Persona 4 and 5 are monumental leaps over Persona 3, a crucial aspect has been lost in the transition.
That's a good point I didn't really think of but it lends to the narrative a lot more than P5 for sure. I also enjoy how much more streamlined the game is and how it doesn't have a 13 hour tutorial.
Thank heavens! I like how more and more games are being released in Europe (although I'm still waiting for all the Tales Of games, Grandia 3, both MegaMan collections...).
Yay =]
I've been hoping they'd do a PAL locilization of this for a while. I didn't want to purchase Persona 3, knowing there was an expanded version available
Seems I made a good choice!
It's a great game. Spend like over 200 hours with it. Have fun with the game guys.
I am not a big fan of the game shooting your character in the head to attack creeps me out big time.
Wantwantwant, been looking to buy this for some time but I held off just in case we got FES as well. Glad I waited!
