I don’t know about any of you, but I’m still not finished with Persona 3. The game tends to pace like a racehorse and lasts like an innocent cold sore. When it came to the states, Japan already had their hands on it for over a year and the FES version had already been released. It was always a possibility (thought the hopeful) that they’d bring the FES version over depending on Persona’s reception. Well, I guess it did pretty well, because rumor has it that it could be in the works.
Siliconera sums up the whole story of this first FES rumor, where some diligent gamers had spotted the new project on voice actor Steve Prince’s (Takaya) résumé under “GAMES TO WATCH OUT FOR”. Not long after the news spread on the internetz, that listing was removed, along with the listing of Baroque. Thanks to supernerds everywhere (NeoGAF), visual proof was captured:
The new add-ons include such additions as an expected additional +30 hours to an already long story, interchangeable clothing to sate your Barbie doll fixations, and another campaign called Episode Aegis, which centers around a certain character my brain certainly couldn’t fathom being Aegis. So if you managed to not buy Persona 3 thinking it was some superfluous dating sim (wrong), the pseudo-suicide summoning felt weird and gimmicky (get over yourself), or it was just another generic JRPG (parenthesis), here could be your chance to make amends to your pleasure centers
next year.
And you are so right about the racehorse analogy. It goes freaking fast, but it goes on FOREVER. 30 more hours? I might have to pass on that part....
