Atlus announces Persona 3 FES for the US on April 22
True to its word (or at least to the word of a timer clicking down to zero), Atlus USA has lifted the shroud of secrecy off of its intentions surrounding Persona FES, announcing that it's bringing the RPG expansion to the US on April 22 for $29.99. The new package will feature both an "enhanced version" of Persona 3 with new bonus features alongside a new chapter -- promising an impressive 30+ hours of gameplay it says here.
Even better, Atlus notes that the new chapter will be able to be played independently of the core game, though players with Persona 3 game saves will be able to use their save data in the new chapter. We'd like to come up with something witty with which to close out the story, but honestly we're too busy already plotting out how exactly we're going to get our hands on the game before it disappears forever.
[UPDATE: Oops, looks like the game is coming one one disc instead of two as previously reported...blame it on lack of caffeine]

I would have loved to see them put this out for the 360, it is nice to have a reason to not sentence my PS2 to an eternity in my office closet just yet.

A hopeful observer might conclude they need extra space to store dual-audio this time. :)

Oh, and it'll be awhile. Persona 4 is already confirmed for PS2.

I was surprised too. I guess it is a result of the SMT games not being exactly mainstream though. Penny Arcasde did a good comic on it at the time though.

I think its obvious that it would, seeing as how the original P3 is no longer available at retail. But I really would like the confirmation.

I spent $50 on the original, I don't want to spend $30 more on the newer version. It doesn't include the artbook or the CD, but still. :\

Also, you could simply sell the original, since it still goes for $60 at least on Amazon.
I will be picking this one up.
