This game,is a very good one. I had bought it,expecting it to be good..but it turned out to be great. There are more than a few things to talk about,but it's important that they are known. First of all,chances are you might not see a used copy at your local game store. So you might have no choice but to get it the way I got it,on Ebay..so be prepared to spend a bit more..but I got mine for a deal..only $25.00 so it's not that bad. Secondly,if you like games that take a good long time to finish..then this is another game for you. You also might see that there is a Persona 3 and Persona 3:Fes,I would say..no DEMAND to get the FES version..because it's basically Persona 3.5. In English,it's P3 with extras..so it is worth the extra money. What are the extras? Well,I won't spoil most..but I will say two things..a continuation from the "ending" of the game..and more requests from Elizabeth. Again,these add up if you like your game to be a long one..so no rush? Third,I would say the English dub actually fits the characters pretty well. From the annoying,but kind Junpei..to the series Mitsuru..to the timid Fuuka..and to the android Aigis. You really feel like the job was done well,you get into it as the game goes on. Fourth,it's a simulation..I said this..but it's time to expand a bit. You play as a high school boy who has come to live in a seaside Japanese town. You do everything like a normal guy would do,see friends..go to school,buy things,see girls,and just wander around. Fifth,you control "Personas" which are basically aspects of your own personality,there are many to find and create..which adds a whole deeper scope to the game. Lastly,the story is original and interesting. Like I said..your a regular guy who is going to live at a dorm with others,so you get there a bit late. Midnight,but your told that time of night is called The Dark Hour (The Shadow Hour in Japanese version) where normal people are encased within "coffins" and Shadows. Monsters attack the few people who can actually move around at this time. Your charged with joining a special task force to eliminate the shadows,and protect innocent people..but it all gets deeper from that point on. The game is highly original,and a must buy...I give it a Excellent rating.Read full review
Persona 3 and 4 expertly mixes dungeon crawling turn-based action and life simulation. The soundtracks of both games are a bit dated in my opinion, but they fit the themes of each game well and will grow on you if you let them. Although Persona 4 improved several aspects of Persona 3’s combat and social system, both games have incredible stories with heavy themes and memorable characters with interesting stories. I highly recommend these titles to any RPG fans.

I've heard about this game online some time ago and I decided to try it. I've failed to put it down since then. The goal of this game is to master the combat engine and form relationships with various NPCs over the course of a school year. The combat is solid and does require a bit of planning in order to master. However, long grinding secessions do get repetitive rather quickly. Thankfully, the game makes up for it with the relationship building side. The dialogue and translation are done well and anyone with a heart can't help but relate to at least one character involved with the story. The humor is hit and miss at times, but the payoff is well worth the occasional flop. My first playthrough lasted longer than 80 hours and those patient enough to see the story until the end will not soon forget the journey (no pun intended). All this doesn't even include the epilogue (The Answer - roughly 30 hours) which is a welcome addition to a wonderful game.Read full review
I had a lot of fun with this game. Back then, I had never really played any of the mainline Persona games before, mainly just the spinoffs like the Arena and Dancing titles, however, when I decided to play Persona 3 FES, it ended up as one of my most favorite games I had ever played. I had received it for my birthday, and I had been playing it ever since. Thank you for this product!

Games came in excellent condition, wrapped in a way where even the worst the USPS has to offer wouldn't have scratched em, not the best price for the games but getting them in a bundle like this is very nice and I'm not about to complain about getting 2 of the best Jrpgs ever made.
