Actually.

I think you can date Elizabeth.

And Aigis.

You weren't being facetious were you.

I never felt like...

I never felt like..thinking this will last forever.

Seriously, this game has a bad problem with endless repetition; dungeons, activities, and music.

So the word is that Persona 3 FES will be released in America on June 22rd for $30. At this price, it may just be the append disc and not the standalone version. Good news for me (and for anyone who already has the game.)

We'll know for sure tomorrow morning when the countdown on atlus.com runs out.

edit: APRIL 22nd, not June.

FES is preorderable at Gamestop, with a ship date of 4/22 and a price of 29.99.

I have no idea why I wrote June 22 instead of April. Anyway, good news XD

Dear Atlus Faithful,

Ok, we give up. The rumors were true.

Persona 3 FES is coming to North America!

Months of trying to keep FES a secret are now behind us (which means all of us here can reflect on just how futile an effort that was).

So what's the big deal about Persona 3 FES? "FES" is short for "Festival," and in Japan, FES was released as a reward for gamers who picked up the original. Not only does the new FES content enhance the original game, but the new FES component is actually a game in and of itself, accessible right from the get-go. We think of it as two games on one disc. It is the definitive Persona 3 experience.

We will be releasing the stand-alone version of FES. There was of course the option of just releasing the "Append" disc (which would have required ownership of the original game), but in the end, we didn't want you to have to own anything else to enjoy the experience.

We'll have a ton more updates going out for FES soon, telling you about the extra features, content, and modes for you to enjoy. Thanks for being patient. We're glad you stuck around.

Oh, and we decided to set the suggested retail for FES at $29.99, just for the heck of it. Thanks for continuing to support us, Atlus Faithful!

That's pretty much fucking perfect. A reasonable price, you don't have to own both games, and lots of shit?

I really do like Atlus as a game company, they're probably one of my favorite because they interact a lot with their fanbase generally in a classy manner.

Very nice. Atlus is awesome. Now there are 2 games I want in June, FES and Ninja Gaiden 2.

EDIT: Even better that FES is in April.

APRIL 22

So, I don't have Persona 3, nor have I played it.

Do I need to buy it, or does FES have it?
