As an expansion of the original Persona 3, Shin Megami Tensei – Persona 3 FES offers a more exciting experience. It is estimated that the expansion adds an extra of 30 hours of gameplay into the game.

The game’s storyline split into two epilogues. The Journey is the original story with a number of changes, and The Answer is the new episode that continues the Journey. The latter has similar gameplay to that of the former but it is heavily combat oriented without the social link system.
