JRPG fans will love this one. According to Sony, the critically-acclaimed Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES will be available for purchase on the PlayStation Store starting April 9, 2012. FES is the complete SMT Persona 3 game with brand new content and the expansion epilogue called “Gojitsudan.”

Basically, Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES includes the 40+ hour original campaign along with an additional 30+ hours of additional gameplay. That’s a lot of bang for your buck.

About Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES

Lead a group of high school students with a dangerous extracurricular activity: exploring the mysterious tower Tartarus and fighting the sinister Shadows during the Dark Hour, a frozen span of time imperceptible to all but a select few. However, the end of their quest is no longer the end of the story–witness for the first time the aftermath of the final battle and the students’ struggle to find meaning in their new lives.

A spin-off of the RPG Persona, Fes (or “Festival of Persona 3″) consists of Persona 3′s content along with 30 hours of additional gameplay. The new gameplay comes primarily in the form of the “Gojitsudan,” a story sequence that comes after the original’s ending, with new cinematic sequences in addition to the added gameplay. While the main storyline is the same, it’s been tuned up with new events. Gameplay has been updated as well, with a new “hard” setting (the original had just easy and normal), 23 new Personas, a weapon synthesis system and a system for changing your characters’ clothes.
