The original Persona 3 was released in august/september 2007.
Around the same time, an expanded version was released on Japan... Persona 3 FES.

FES, among other things includes:
- 30 Hours of new Story
- New personas (20+)
- New quests (40+)
- A new Social Link
- New cutscenes
- Alternate Customes
- Hard Mode

In December 2007, Persona 3 got out of production.

Persona 3 won the Best RPG title on many sites, while the Runnerup on others.

Today, a countdown has appeared on Atlus.com. The image that appears on such countdown comes from 'Second 54' of the Introduction Video of Persona 3.

Thus... although still unconfirmed... it seems we are getting, for the first time (since I can't recall an 'expanded' game ever released here (FF Internation, KH FM, etc) an expanded game of one which has been already released (The Star Ocean 3 that we got was the 'expanded version' of Japan, but we never saw the 'original one')

Thoughts for those Persona 3 fans here? I know there are some, even though we never had a Persona 3 thread.
