Persona 3 FES Confirmed For a PAL Release

Did you enjoy Persona 3? More than a few NZGamer staffers (myself included) did, too. Now it's with great excitement that we can confirm that KOEI will be bringing the expanded version of Persona 3, Persona 3 FES, to PAL territories this October. On top of that, it will support the save games from the original version.

KOEI today announced that Persona 3 FES will be released across Europe on PS2 this October. Persona 3 FES offers gamers the ultimate version of this classic high school adventure with a brand new chapter featuring 30+ hours of gameplay and an enhanced version of the original game featuring new content and features. Persona 3 FES is set for release on PlayStation 2 across Europe on October 17.

Persona 3 FES is a standalone edition to this award winning series and does not require the original Persona 3 to play. However, save games from the original Persona 3 will work with this new enhanced version while the new story is accessible right from the start and does not require playing through the original adventure beforehand.

“We’ve been inundated with requests to bring this highly regarded RPG to Europe so we’re delighted to finally be able to give RPG fans what they’ve been wishing for.” Said KOEI’s Sales Manager Will Curley “Persona 3 FES represents the very pinnacle of top quality RPG gaming and has already received some amazing review scores upon release in the US that have even surpassed the remarkable widespread acclaim for the original game.”
