"....Persona...."

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
