Boy this is going to be hard to review
Okay, imagine Persona 3, imagine the story, and imagine the way you played the game to its end.

Now, this game is essentially Persona 3 the directors cut, and Persona 3 fes the sequal

Persona 3 Fes edition(episode yourself)

You play the role of a hero you assign a name too, his manga name is Minato Arisato, if you want to be pure and keep the origional name, he is 17 years old and will be attending a high school i refuse to type because it will only be incorrect, anyway, upon arriving in the city he somewhat experiences late night/shadow hour, without realising before arriving at the dorms, the girls dorm no less, because he is obviously special and special people are staying at these dorms

Moving on(no point going on above since itd spoil)

Your day, consists of being a High school student, with the game forcing you to attend school, the day is basically Morning -> Lunchtime -> Afternoon -> After School - > Evening -> Late Night - > Dark/Shadow Hour

You, as a student have to make friends, and maintain social links to aquire stronger Persona, you can also date other girls, you may come accross, but be careful if one finds out the Commu thing breaks, and thats a big no nooooooo

What extras does this have over the plain ol vanilla Persona 3?

from what i can remember

- More costumes (maid outfits etc)
- Changable Music on Tartarus(have to get right conditions)
- More Persona added in
- More available relationships
- More S-Link Options
- You can date Aegis/Elizabeth
- Elizabeth can leave Velvet Room
- Weapon Fusions
- Couple of new scenes here and there, and everywhere lalalalala

Okay moving onto Episode Aegis

Since this is the Independant Edition you do not need the Persona 3 disc if i remember correctly

Episode Aegis takes place March 31st 2010, approx 2 months after the final battle in Persona 3 and around a month or two after a certain scene

Everyone returns, be it Aegis, Akihiko, Mitsuru, the dog, Yukari

This adds, a whole bunch of new stuff and story it fills in the gaps, well trys too for the stuff you may need answered in Persona 3

Also Episode Aegis is focused on Aegis, she is your main controllable character

what does this mean? well find out
is Minato in this game? who knows
