Product Information
The phenomenal smash hit "Shin Megami Tensei: Persona" series makes its PlayStation 2 debut with "Persona 3 FES." Once again you play as a high school student with a larger than life destiny and ability. With the help of your Persona, you must stop the end of the world and save mankind from itself. Your Persona consists of spirits, gods, demons, and even angels that you summon at will. The stakes have never been higher, and “Persona 3 FES” raises the bar even more.Released by Atlus for the PlayStation 2 in 2008, “Persona 3 FES” is a Japanese role playing video game. It is a single-player game in the third person perspective. By day, you go to school and build friendships with classmates. By night, you must investigate the mysterious tower called Tartarus, home to creatures called Shadows. Only you and your teammates fight the Shadows and save humanity from their clutches.A mixture of a dating SIM and a traditional action adventure RPG, this third installment of the Shin Megami Tensei games uses tarot cards to symbolize the different strengths of the bonds you form. Depending on the bonds you have, different Personas affiliated with these tarot cards are available to use in battle. Make sure your character balances your friendships with your duties as both a world saver and a student. You need all of your skills to defeat the evil threatening the world.Like previous Shin Megami Tensei games, P3 FES is a traditional turn-based format. You control the player character's action. You also tailor your party's AI to suit your needs. Set your party to conserve MP, focus on healing and support, or go for brutal, vicious assaults at will. Battles are launched by approaching enemies and attacking with swords, bows, and even Personas. Outfit characters with weapons and Persona types by collecting cards at the end of each battle.The day-night cycle in P3 FES is a unique approach to the role-playing game format, even for Shin Megami Tensei. This feature allows players to focus on building social relationships with other characters during the day while exploring an alternate dimension at night. The phases of the moon also have a significant role in your nighttime activities. Enemies grow stronger and more unpredictable the closer you are to the full moon, and some areas of Tartarus are only available during that time.The FES release of “Persona 3” is packed with new content. New summons, in-game events, and a harder difficulty mode are available to play. There is also an all new post-game chapter called "The Answer." This offers a new dungeon to explore, as well as new characters, bosses, and story content. "The Answer" adds an additional 30+ hours to the already well-satisfying and exciting gameplay, making this release an embarrassment of riches. The game is rated M for blood, language, partial nudity, suggestive themes, and violence. New players or returning fans of the series will enjoy an excellent, active, suspenseful game with "Persona 3 FES."Product Identifiers
