Persona 3

Anyone heard of it? I've heard from a friend who owns it over here in the US (where it's apprently bloody impossible to find, even more so with the new special edition they released) that it's an awesome game.

Anyone else got impressions?

Anyone know where I could find a copy, and for how much if it's possible to find one?

And what of the first two, or are they even available in America at all?

I'd love to get someone who owns it in Japan's oppinions on it too, please and thank you.

I bought this a few months back when it first came out. I got the copy that comes with it's own art book.

It wasn't that hard to find when it first released but I haven't seen it on shelves much at all. At least for a brand new copy. Then again PS2 games aren't getting much shelf life now a days on new releases. It's there for a few weeks then gone.

The newly released special edition is probably easier to find in North America on brand new retail than the original release. However you can probably get either easily off Amazon.com or Ebay for not much higher than retail.

I bought Persona 3 FES last week, I think it was the only copy left at the Gamestop I go to. I've never played any rpg's published by Atlus before, it's safe to say they gained a new fan.

All the reviews I've read gave it a good rating, I'm gonna have to agree. The voice acting is surprisingly good, the soundtrack is really interesting, and the gameplay is really fun. The graphics are pretty good for a PS2 game too.

Okay, thanks. I'll see where I can find it. My friend says he's gonna let me borrow it, so I'll make up my mind about it after that.

I've played a few games by Atlus before, and they were pretty cool, so I'm hoping this lives up to the reputation.
