From Sanguinary,
For those who can't get enough of Persona 3, Atlus steps in to cure the craving with the FES edition. You could think of it as a director's cut of the original game; both gameplay and storyline receive the gold treatment with many new bells and whistles. There's also a brand-new epilogue chapter in which members of SEES attempt to come to terms with the past while facing a new, unexpected threat ... something that ultimately tests their bonds of friendship. For anyone who has yet to play Persona 3, grabbing FES should be a no-brainer. Those who already have it might ask, what's in it for me?
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.
Can't wait for next week. :D
This game is gonna be full of win. I need a JRPG so bad.
