Damn, I bought this for 30 bucks not long ago on PS2. Then again I got the artbook and soundtrack with that.
I wish they'd make the PSP version available on the PS3. All the extra story lines, and the ability to play as a female would be nice.
I love this game so much. One of my favourite RPGs for sure. Glad I still have my PS2 copy and the PSP version.
I have every version of this game and still can't get enough. On second thought, I still have my PS2 copy and a backwards compatible PS3 so I guess I won't be getting this version. Now I feel less fanatical...
I'm currently about to beat Persona 3 Portable (I'm grinding on the last month). I recently bought a PS2 copy of the original Persona 3, one that I will never open (keeping it as a collectible), so a downloadable version of Persona 3 FES is just up my alley.
Looks like i have game to check out! I never played any of the Persona games.
Hopefully it's available on the EU store as well!

I would be so happy if there was a comprehensive version of this game that had all the extra stuff from this version and the PSP version rolled together.
I still haven't beaten this game. I have a save about 35 hours in but that was my second playthrough after my PS3 died 20 hours in. Speaking of which, why is it that my copy of FES wont work on my new PS3 but this downloaded version will? What sort of voodoo is involved in the online version? Why did Sony get rid of software PS2 emulation in newer PS3s? I'm still mad about that.
I'm not a persona guy, but I'm very happy for those that are. Nocturne, hell yeah. Really want to play that.
So is MiraculousButthole the new Stealth now that Jim ruined Stealth's ability to be seen as anything other than a hilariously verbose child?
Glad to see Golden Age Capcom and Atlus being represented on PSN. I still have my PS2 copy of the game but once I'm working again I'll still get this just to have the convenience of it.

Nocturne isn't rare. Or at least, Lucifer's Call isn't last I checked. They're the exact same, PAL has 60HZ and everything. Much better than any of the Persona games as well.
Found this in the Gamestop bargain bin last year for $20 new. FInally beat it Thursday after pouring 163 hours into it. If you care about the money/hours ratio, you MUST get this game. Did I mention it's awesome?
I'd much rather have all the sin megami tensei games released for my vita since i still have my ps2 copies
I hope they do the same for P4 (or at least release P4: The Golden here in the states), but especially Devil Summoner 2. I was in the middle of that one when my launch 60GB YLOD'd on me. :(
Welp..there goes any progress I was making on my backlog.. Just had to go and do it Atlus..just take my $10 now
As glad as I am for the people who haven't played it, this isn't the best version of the game by a long shot and it, along with every other "PS2 Classic" deserves better emulation that what Sony gives PS3 gamers at present.
I just cannot forgive seeing these great games not reformatted for HD.
As it stands Persona 3 Portable is the superior version of the game and why pay $10 to see the original reduced to blurry ass when you can get better version for $20?
As it stands, I'm already considering putting my PS2 games through an upscaler or emulator since Sony apparently doesn't care enough to give these games the respect they deserve.

If they had put the PSP version up, I might have been tempted. Actually, you know what would make a good PSN candidate? Digital Devil Saga. It's a two parter, got cool characters, an intriguing plot, familiar RPG mechanics, and I never finished the second half - stalled out because I couldn't beat one of the optional bosses and refused to move until I did.
@Meryc - P3P has all the gameplay updates Persona 4 enjoyed. P3 FES leaves partner AI fully out of your hands so when you need Healing Mitsuru will cast Marin Karin instead.
You also couldn't preview Fusion results.
The bonus dungeons that appear in P3P are also in FES, but the FES has s story to them that tells you nothing the ending of the game doesn't already tell you. That and you can only fuse demons without the aid of the compendium.
If you're really curious about the extra story in FES, YouTube it, its not worth enduring the extra content to see.

P3F is one of the greatest PS2 games I (unfortunately) never finished. I am all over this when the Store update goes live tomorrow!
@TSP
Does Sony have a final say in the matter? I always thought it was up to the developers to decide whether or not for an HD release.

@Chris, the US version doesn't have any of the borders or slower gameplay problems that plague the PAL version, so it's still worth picking this one up. Just make a UA account and by a US PSN voucher on one of those cheapxboxlive sites. You can probably convert your PAL save as well.

If you know how to use your party, you'll never have an issue having them do anything you want them to do in P3:FES. It was the first SMT game I ever played, and I was in full control of my party the entire time.
Also, while some people may see Persona 4 and an improved version, P3P and P4 only let you equip one type of weapon, have dumbed-down Social Link progression (you can treat characters like shit and they won't care, while in P3 and P3:FES, you actually have to think about what you say), and as far as P3P goes, you miss out on all the animations of the characters from the console version, which takes away from the charm, as far as I'm concerned.

@Pedro - anime stuff is too few and far between to really impact the story. Its just fluff. I don't miss it in P3P.
Also, FES is hindered by the fact you must scan every new enemy you come across if you don't want your allies to waste turns acting like morons. They're fine once they know the weaknesses, but it was better that you had control over them anyway.
Also with all the weapon damage types were a massive hindrance to many fights. You should not have Akihiko reduced to only a buffer/healer when he can't use blunt damage or Zio skills. Changing the damage type to Physical just made it more like the other SMT games, Nocturne and DDS are not "dumbed down" for having it. They're harder than either Persona game.

Not sure if I'm gonna pick this one up, just recently bought Persona 3 Portable to try it out on my Vita and was almost ashamed of myself that I had missed out on such a great title.
Is "The Answer" alone worth it for the price?

I'm pretty sure that due to Persona 3 and 4 that I've played more hours on my PS3 playing PS2 games than current gen.
Dang yo I bought my copy of P3 Fez my Junior year of highschool, now I'm almost done with college and I still haven't finished the game. Have to get on it.
@Mindkiller89 I have a USA account and I did attempt to buy us PSN credit before, but the transaction failed -_-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, but I bought P3 so many times in the past... oh hell I'll get it one more time :P
But, seriously Atlus, NOCTURNE, anytime you want.

finished P3 FES last year, and i just finished Digital Devil Saga a few minutes ago.
despite loving it at first, i now prefer the SMT main titles as well as their spin offs.
still recommend P3 FES. The Answer is actully a nice addition(shame it was not on PSP; if it was included it would be the best version of P3)
gonna play Digital Devil Saga 2 soon!!!!!!

Where did this come from? I had no idea..! Nice surprise, I might get it but I'm worried it I will become addicted to it. Nah, gotta learn to have self control.
Ive played to death both FES and P3P and I can say without hesitation that FES is still the definitive version.
I really liked P3P because the girl version brought over my favorite improvement from P4 - all of your party members being social links. I can understand how you want a more solid 3D version though. Definitely picking this up tomorrow even though I already own it on PS2
@Silent
I wasn't calling the gameplay dumbed-down, I was calling the Social Link system dumbed-down in P3P and P4. And by weapon type, I thought it was cool that the main character could use a sword or a bow or gloves, etc., I wasn't talking about the other characters there, either. P3P and P4 took that thing that set the original P3 apart from other JRPGs -- P3P and P4 went back to the cliche-as-hell "Oh, you're the main character? Here's a sword that we're forcing you to use for the rest of the game now!"

Well shit. I just got P3P not too long ago.
At least I can play it on my Vita... but ten bucks saved is ten bucks saved...

Loved P3, but could never make it through FES. It's brutally difficult, but there's not enough of a story there to make it worthwhile. I just youtubed it.
