enhanced version of the original game loaded with new content and
features–Persona 3 FES is the comprehensive version of one of the most
acclaimed RPGs of 2007.

Persona 3 FES is a stand-alone product and does

from the original game will be able to transfer some of their saved data, such

story is accessible from the start and does not require players to finish the
original game beforehand.
