Persona 3 FES released on PSN, go grab it.

If you own a ps3 and like JRPGs, but haven't had the chance to play this game, go play it now!. TURN-BASE HEAVEN. It's not however a HD-remastered game, so be prepared for the good old SD ps2 goodness. The game is only going for $9.99 which is a steal for a game of this calibur. I you like it, I might even recommed the P3P for psp/psv which adds a lot of gameplay features while conpromizing other small gameplay tweaks and a lot of visual presentation.

I've been looking for a reason to start this series and this might just be it. Thanks for the heads up :)

Only get it if you can't get the PSP version for some reason. Sure you miss out on anime cutscenes and the graphics are a little worse, but they're not fantastic to begin with, the art design still comes across, and you don't have to walk around tedious areas. Plus you can control your individual party members, which I can't imagine playing without. Well, I can, but it's not pleasant (Akihiko, this guy is weak to electricity I would not mind a Zionga right noWHY ARE YOU PUNCHING HIM HE'S IMMUNE TO THAT). And apparently the Answer dungeon is way too tedious.

But it's the game that got me into SMT. I'm going back to play Nocturne now before P4 so that I'm not one of those guys. :P

So get it if you don't have a PSP.

[QUOTE="skinny_man_69"][QUOTE="siLVURcross"] Or just play 4 instead :Dedo-tensei

Apologies for doublepost, but seriously? I thought Atlus said they weren't doing a FES-ish version of 4 aside from on the Vita >:I

Dammit and I just bought P4 too.

I wish they would put P4 on PSN, since getting a copy is pretty expensive right now. Still worth it, though.

[QUOTE="edo-tensei"][QUOTE="skinny_man_69"] I'll get that if this turns out to be good. Is it on PSN too? Or am I going to have to hunt this thing down? Fusionmix

Always wanted to get into Persona. Actually might get it, any tips? Also would this work on a PSVITA?

I will burn my dread

if you have any love left in your heart for jrpgs then you have to play this game.

Running through narrow corridors that pretty much all look the same for 80 hours isn't very appealing to me. Game screams lazy design, pass.MFDOOM1983

Mediocre game. Get the two Digital Devil Saga games on PSN instead.

Or just get the PSP version which has P4's much better in every way combat.siLVURcross

Get Persona 3 Portable instead, improves on the original in every way.charizard1605

DDS games are not on the PSN, and persona is somewhat differnt from those games even if they do share a lot of similarities. Story, setting, tone, some gameplay-spesific features, dungeon design, character progression, etc. Different game franchises, though both are excelent. SMT games in general, especially on the ps2, are all must plays for JRPG fans.

How similar is it to Persona 4? I played Persona 4 and enjoyed it a lot but I don't know if could bare going through all those monotonous endless dungeons again.kuraimen

There's nothing "baby" about 3 or FES at all. If anything, P4 is the baby one fr simplifying a lot of the features in P3. Plus the art style in 3 is IMO superior, as well as the story and music.edo-tensei

I'm curious, what exactly did 4 simplify from 3? Adding full party control?

[QUOTE="edo-tensei"][QUOTE="Aljosa23"]Persona 4 is a great game and better in every single way. 3 FES is a mediocre game that gets way too much praise because it's "Baby's First SMT".skinny_man_69

The overall difficulty of 3 was toned downed in 4 as well as things like the "TIRED" systems were completely change. Things were more stream-lined like only introducing "one" physical attack type, and other things like skill cards, which made things that much easier. The dungeons themselves were much more simplified compare to the tower of P3 and FES. It seems you're unexperienced with these games.edo-tensei

Arguing about the differences of 3/FES and 4 is a lesson in futility since it ultimately doesn't matter. Those games are hugely dumbed down from the god game SMT: Nocturne and its disciplies DDS 1 and 2. lol the Persona games even have a lame battle system that pales in comparison to the Press Turn system. Nevermind that the actual artstyle in Persona 3 and 4 is meant to appeal to Japanophiles and otakus and can't hold a handle to Kazuma Kaneko's amazing designs.

lol your last line is pretty funny. Questioning my credibility because I don't circle-jerk the Persona series like others, lol.

Everybody should grab this its like the best video game ever, don't get thedowngraded PSP version first, it really hurts the experience and is inferior in every possible way

Once you finish this get Persona 4, don't bother with crap like DDS or nocturne they are mediocre games
