Persona 3: FES for PlayStation 2 Reviews by Gamers

Anyone who likes RPGs with a excellent plot and a fresh battle system I have to give this game a really high recommendation.

This game has a real immersion factor to it that keep you playing for a very long time. The plot has some interesting twists as well as one of the most shocking endings I have ever seen. Most of the plots twists in RPGs are pretty predictable. This is one of the few that does surprise you in a very good way. This game has a very depressing mood to it and will actually resonate with you for awhile once you see how it ends.

The battle system is something new to me as this is the first Persona game I have played. I loved it. It keeps its challenge throughout most of the game(esp on hard mode, it is brutal) and not not a chore at all.

Graphics are not very important to me so I will not stress them but for a PS2 game they are fine. The character design has a good balance of seriousness and wacky looking characters.

The only thing I mark down on this is the fact the game can be TO depressing sometimes. However I love games that do something different in a world of shooter clones and happy storylines.

The soundtrack can get a bit repetitive but that is not a real issue. The main points of a RPG are very strong here, battle system and plot.

To sum things up

+ Amazing Storyline
+ Battle system as a whole is very enjoyable and doesn't get old
+ Immersion factor that I have not experienced since Xenogears.
+ Long play time(76 hours my playthrough) and it doesn't feel like it is dragging on. In fact you don't want it to end.
+ Very good character development throughout the story.

- Soundtrack a bit repetitive.
- Sometimes TO depressing but this is minor.
- Tartarus(the main area you will be exploring) can sometimes be a chore to explore.

If I could give it a 9.7 I could. 10 to me is perfect and while this game is not perfect it is close. It got me into Shin Negima Tensei games. I have Nocturne coming now. Can't wait for Persona 4.

This game kinda sucks you know why? It's transfer feature only lets you tansfer these things: persona compeieum, max social link items, your maxed out acedemics, charm and bravery,and all known mix raid spells. You knoe what you can't transfer? These things: level, personas, items, tataraus level, weapons, armor oh and spells.I only ratedthis game a 10 because of gameplay however I would only reccomend this game for die hard gamers. One thing you should know is that one to many enemies on "The Jounerney" and "The Answer" always try to kill your main character with mudo, kill rush, hama, and your persona's weakness which is really annoying so I just want to this " IT is a game of challenge". Watch it gamers.
