Persona 3 FES has released to stunning acclaim. EGM gives it their Gold Award, scoring the game three A's and exclaiming, "FES' arrival -- at a budget price -- is the best thing to happen to role-playing games this year." Play Magazine deals FES perfect marks, 10 out of 10, and says, "Persona 3 FES is one of the best RPGs the PS2 has ever received, and one of the console's proudest moments period." IGN grants their coveted Editor's Choice Award, writing, "The fact that you're getting both the original and its virtual sequel for thirty dollars is a steal that no PS2 RPG fan should be without, and you're not likely to see such an excellent collection on the system again."
