How it feels

A brooding, emotionally weighty RPG that moves with quiet dread and deep character investment through its daily rhythms and dark mythological undertones.

About

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES is an add-on disc for Persona 3 containing updates to the original game (referred in the game as "The Journey"), as well as a new epilogue story, The Answer, in which the player controls Aigis. The subtitle "Fes" is derived from the word "festival".

What players say

Loved for its moody, melancholic tone and poignant, well-written social links that make players care deeply and leave them with bittersweet sadness; the single repetitive Tartarus dungeon and slow pacing are the common gripes.
