Title: Countdown
Post by: aerozero on February 18, 2008, 01:45:07 PM
If you check Atlus's official site, you'll see that they just put up a countdown timer, similar to the one in the opening of Persona 3.

There's a 99% chance that this is a countdown to the announcement of FES.

Thought some of you might be interested.

Yeah saw that posted on the GameFAQs boards. If it were for FES that would be awesome.

It seems like the Persona 3 Countdown in the opening, but if is FES i only hope that on 29 Febraury Persona 3 FES will be realesed in Italy( I thought until now that it will be normal Persona 3)because all the atlus game released here are in english so there is only the 60 - 50 HZ problem to solve...

that's so cool.  Although as much as I would like to see FES released here I don't think I would play it - I haven't got a lot of time and Im so far behind on my gaming.

I hope it is FES...be pretty stupid and a waste to use the countdown from the P3 opening if turned out not to be FES.

Like it says in there, 3 Things have running in my mind since I´ve seen the timer countdown, 1) The release of Persona Trinity Soul in english, 2) Persona 3 FES, 3) A Megaten game for the Wii. Whatever it is, I hope it has nothing to do with the Nintendo Wii.

Atlus USA is a game publisher only, so I don't see why they would advertise Trinity Soul on their website and others with such a big dramatic countdown.
If it was a game for the Wii or any other console, Atlus Japan would have already anounced it as they are the developers.
That only leaves us with FES!!!:star:
I hope so...

What a pleasant surprise! I haven't played this game at all, so to play the FES version would be awesome! :)

The release date is set for 4/22/08.  Which is bullshit from my perspective, since I was planning on buying The World Ends With You on the same day.

Hm...not too far away,hopefully I will be done with Crisis Core by then.

You'll be done with Crisis Core in a day.


Title: Re: Countdown

Crisis Core was pretty average...but I'm willing to give it another chance in English.

The countdown is over and there`s just the date and time?? What`s whit that?

Yup emilio i don't understand at all....

Are we supposed to wait the newsletter?


Title: Re: Countdown
Post by: Emilio Morales on February 25, 2008, 09:07:55 AM
FINALLY!!!! I have just receive an e-mail from ATLUS that shows the release date of Persona 3 FES, that´s totally awesome!! :) Now we just need to wait until April 22 ;)

For some of us that aren't subscribed or didn't get an e-mail:

"Experience the definitive cut of 2007s award-winning Persona 3, which
garnered tons of critical acclaim and the adulation of a devoted fanbase.
Packaged together with a brand new episode, the set provides 120-plus hours
of gameplay at a suggested retail price of $29.99.

Lead a group of high school students with a dangerous extracurricular
activity: exploring the mysterious tower Tartarus and fighting the sinister
Shadows during the Dark Hour, a frozen span of time imperceptible to all but
a select few. And the end of their quest is no longer the end of the
story--witness for the first time the aftermath of the final battle and the
students struggle to find meaning in their new lives.

Available April 22, 2008."

Oh,well that's fine by me then.I mean,already know how it ends either way...

Do you think that the game(fes)  will be cheaper to  buy and ship to europe than buy it in the normal version ( 60 euros)


Title: Re: Countdown
Post by: aerozero on February 25, 2008, 03:08:47 PM
Yeah, it'll be cheaper to import FES, since you're getting only the original P3 with no artbook or soundtrack in Europe for the full price.

Atlus really does listen to their fans, it's a shame SE didn't give us Final Mix or any of the international editions of the FFs

In fact we do.  Every time an SE game is localized in Europe or US, it gets additional content that Jap version didn't get.  The only exception to this is Final Mix+.

I forgot about VII and Star Ocean 3, but we didn't get FFX international though or FFXII international.


Title: Re: Countdown
Post by: Danny on February 25, 2008, 04:43:37 PM
Or the best International version, Final Fantasy X-2:International+Last Mission.

Did you even read what I said?

We DID get them.  OUR versions ARE the International.  If any differences, its just small ones, like XII's job system, or the Dark Aeons in X.  In fact...Europe got the full International treatment, Dark Aeons and all...

ANNNOUNCEMENT WAS FES! Hits US shores in April.

Just in time for my birthday...on the 28th... hint, hint.

This is downright depressing.  FES got announced, and the site ain't even back up fully.  And its been months...

Epic phail.


Title: Re: Countdown
Post by: traci on February 28, 2008, 11:18:42 PM
Ok so I'm confused is the Aegis Episode a stand alone game?
And FES also makes the normal game longer/adds a new social link?
And a different ending- what else am I missing?
Or rather what have I messed up in what I know of FES to be?


Title: Re: Countdown
Post by: MasterofStrings on February 28, 2008, 11:29:15 PM
Episode Aigis is a continuation of Episode Yourself(regular P3). Except [spoiler]you play as Aigis seeing as the main character is dead.[/spoiler]
They added Aigis in as a social link and Elizabeth is dateable(kinda).
And they added a good 23-24 personae. Changeable costumes(i.e. High cut Armor). And weapon fusion. Don't think I forgot anything...


Title: Re: Countdown
Post by: Enid on February 29, 2008, 01:31:08 AM
Yeah...Master of Strings pretty much covered everything.
Oh..there are some added scenes not in the original...like taking Koromaru out for walkies.

Here is the difference between the two:

This is a good opportunity for those who haven´t bought Persona 3. Not only they´re going to buy Persona 3 with all the new additions and for a good price.


Title: Re: Countdown
Post by: MasterofStrings on February 29, 2008, 05:13:32 PM
Yeah, a near $10 difference between what I bought P3 for and what FES is being sold for. But, I'm glad I got it when I did.

Very much agreed.  I even got the special edition for some reason, despite it being my first game of the series.  I'm so thankful to my friend for ranting me into this.
