Persona 3 FES and Persona 4 going 'best' in Japan photo

"Best?" Hell yeah! I always feel kind of proud when one of my favorite games gets bumped into the Best or Greatest Hits bracket. According to retail leaks, it sounds like two of my favorite titles are going to be pushed up into Japan's PlayStation2 the Best collection.

Both Game Star and Amazon say that Persona 3 FES and Persona 4 will join the ranks of the Best on August 5th with a retail price of 2,940 yen.

In related news, other Atlus Best games are getting reprints in Japan. Both Shin Megami Tensei: Persona and Growlanser will hit shelves in Japan on June 3rd. Etrian Odyssey and its sequel will follow on July 15th.

Too bad these aren't bound for the US market. Too bad there's no real life Junes megastore.

Persona 4 is one of the best games ever. I would be more surprised if it didn't get claimed one of the best.

Persona 3 was way better than 4! 3 had way better characters, and a much more dark emotional story. While persona 3 was more repetative I actually finished it. I couldn't finish 4 because I could careless about those characters.

I need to hop back on the Persona 4 train. Somehow, I got crazy with a million other games last year. Lately, I've been craving me some Persona. Maybe that is the fate of my long weekend...

A more deserving pair of games there were never made.

Can't wait for Persona 5.

I really wish I had played Persona 4 sooner. I just got it last month and so far, I'd put it in my top 10 favorite games EVER.

If Persona 5 is on PS3, I'll be buying that console just for that game.

This is one of those post where a user brags about already owning and purchasing the games as soon as it went on sale. Where he tries to make you feel bad for not constantly paying attention to the smaller title looking for diamonds in the rough.

I agree, Persona3's story was stronger as it felt like more was at stake than just the future of a small town. Junpei is one of my favorite characters in anything, and every class in P4 felt kinda bland in comparison to P3.

The small town mystery was one of the best things about P4's story. It felt much more original than your standard save the world plot of most RPGs. (Not that P3's story was necessarily "standard", but it was moreso than P4.) Granted P4's mystery didn't entirely payoff in the end, but I do think the original premise was more interesting.

Junpei was definitely awesome, easily one of my favorite characters in a Persona game, but other than him I think P4 had the better cast of characters.

@Sayward:
If you say so. I found P4 to be the better game in almost every way, which is saying something given how fucking good P3 was.

I just finished Persona 4 last week and LOVED it. Even more than I loved 3.
When I walk onto the E3 floor in a few weeks and make a beeline to Atlus' booth, if I don't see Persona 5 for PS3, I will fall to my knees in tears and give up on whatever remains of my life.

overall i think i still prefer P3's characters, story, world, etc, but i found P4 equally engaging. each pushes a very different emotional button.

also: naoto rules.

I think posts like these are justified when it comes to a series as good as Persona. I will fully admit that Persona 4 is my favorite video game of all time, and that Persona 3 FES is up there as well.

This is great news!! I love both p3 n p4, n even though I think p4 is better is almost all aspect, I still love p3 more. Usually a good game will stay on my mind for 3 4 months after I finish them. P3 has occupied my brain for 2 years.
