My favorite version of my favorite video game ever made.. It's sad to me that this game is still locked behind the PS3 Playstation store and physical discs. I know Reload is the big P3 thing currently, but something like FES NEEDS to be preserved, because it's a huge reason Atlus is what it is today, plus it has a lot of very subtle changes to the way it presents it's story that makes it worth giving FES a shot.
Between the Portable release and Reload, Persona 3 has quickly topped the list as my favorite game of all time, and I would love to have the opportunity to play the one major version of the game that eludes me. Unfortunately, I do not own a PlayStation 2, and therefore am barred from playing the original definitive version of this timeless classic.
Persona 3 FES is not my favorite Atlus game, but I do think it's one of their most important games the company has made. It defined the direction of the company and allowed them to continue as the JRPG powerhouse we know today. It is also the only game that cannot be played on modern hardware. Persona 3 Portable and Reload have modern releases that are easily accessible on all major platforms, so it stands to reason that Persona 3 FES receive the same treatment. If there's one thing that GOG's plan with the dreamlist can do, is to preserve and make available games of historical and cultural significance to the medium. It might not be the best of Atlus' output, but it is certainly one worth sharing and preserving.
Persona 3 FES is one of the best game in the Persona series. While Persona 3 Reload is already out and Persona 3 Portable is a downgrade (in order to fit into the PSP's UMD), the latter isn't really a good way to experience the OG game. Which is why Persona 3 FES deserve to have the game preserve and have modern gamers to experience the OG.
Persona 3 for many people is their favorite entry in the series. The game itself have so many versions and each version have so many strengths and weaknesses. But of all version that Atlus release, the Persona 3 FES is the one that they did not port it on PC because they think a remake and a PSP version is enough. And for myself, I want to try how the FES version works
One of my favorite games of all time and the remake was so disappointing. This version deserves a rerelease too. Absolutely unmatched in story, characters, atmosphere and soundtrack.
I never had any experience with Persona even though I had PS2 in secondary school. It wasn't until I got into the university and made a friend with a JRPG lover who introduced me to it. I didn't have my PS2 at that time since years past and resorted to emulator. Not a single regret because that was easily one of the best games I ever played. Of course when P3P and P3R came to Steam I knew I had to grab them but I wouldn't say no for FES to be in my PC library too.
FES has some features not available in the other iterations of Persona 3 available on modern hardware, most notably the ability to switch weapons on the protagonist which adds a different level of strategy not present in the other iterations of the game.
Persona 3 is my favorite game of all time. I do not think I actually could ever write enough about how much I love it's characters, ideas, music, and especially not it's story. It's one that frames Death in a way that legitimately got me out of a dark part of my life, one that was drowning in the despair that existentialism brings. It's a beautiful story that I feel like people need to experience, and for me personally no other version has landed that feeling more than the original game on PS2. Granted FES is an updated version of Persona 3, but it's frankly just the same game with some major improvements and additions, in addition to adding The Answer. Still, I think this game needs to be preserved, if only to respect easily one of the most inspirational and important modern JRPGs of our time. Persona 3 Reload is a good version, but the original is still better to me.
Persona 3's multiple versions throughout its release history is one of the most fascinating cases in the history of the JRPG genre, and the original iteration of Persona 3 and the FES expansion pack is the only version no longer accessible on modern platforms, with Portable's re-release in 2023 and Reload's initial release in 2024. It deserves preservation not only for its significance to the JRPG genre upon its original release, but for its potential to serve as a learning experience of how games are expanded upon, ported, and remade as the years go on.
Final Fantasy IIFinal Fantasy II is the second installment in the Final Fantasy series, developed and published by Squaresoft. It was directed by Hironobu Sakaguchi, with Yoshitaka Amano designing the characters and Nobuo Uematsu composing the score.
It was notable for being one of the first story-intensive RPGs released for console systems, and introducing many series staples, including chocobos and a character named Cid. Its story is unrelated to the original FINAL FANTASY, and its gameplay is a major departure from the previous title for eliminating the traditional experience-based progression system.Open world Fantasy Sandbox

Final Fantasy IIIIn 2006, Final Fantasy III reached North American shores in an official update/remake.
The gameplay of Final Fantasy III combines elements of the first two Final Fantasy games with new features. The turn-based combat system remains in place from the first two games, but hit points are now shown above the target following attacks or healing actions, rather than captioned as in the previous two games. Auto-targeting for physical attacks after a friendly or enemy unit is killed is also featured for the first time. Unlike subsequent games in the series, magical attacks are not auto-targeted in the same fashion.
The experience point system featured in Final Fantasy makes a return following its absence from Final Fantasy II. The character class system featured in the first game also reappears, with some modifications. Whereas in the original game the player chooses each character's class alignment at the start of the game and is then locked into that class for the duration of the game, Final Fantasy III introduces the "job system" for which the series would later become famous. Jobs are presented as interchangeable classes: in the Famicom version of the game, all four characters begin as "Onion Knights", with a variety of additional jobs becoming available as the game progresses. Any playable character has access to every currently available job and can change from job to job at will. Switching jobs consumes "capacity points" which are awarded to the entire party following every battle, much like gil. Different weapons, armor and accessories, and magic spells are utilized by each job. A character's level of proficiency at a particular job increases the longer the character remains with that job. Higher job levels increase the battle statistics of the character and reduce the cost in capacity points to switch to that job.
Final Fantasy III is the first game in the series to feature special battle commands such as "Steal" or "Jump", each of which is associated with a particular job ("Steal" is the Thief's specialty, whilst "Jump" is the Dragoon's forte). Certain jobs also feature innate, non-battle abilities, such as the Thief's ability to open passages that would otherwise require a special key item. Final Fantasy III is also the first game in the series to feature summoned creatures, which are called forth with the "Summon" skill.Action Fantasy

Final Fantasy XI OnlineFinal Fantasy XI Online is the franchise's first MMORPG as well as the eleventh installment in the main series. FFXI was the world's first cross-console MMORPG, available for Windows, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360 and Steam.
Since its release in 2002, it has become the most financially successful title in the Final Fantasy series. Due to the nature of online RPGs, FFXI differs in that the player is not the only hero. Instead, each player creates a customizable character and adventures through the world of Vana'diel with other players; leveling up, exploring, completing missions, quests, and much more.
Leveling up requires a group of people working together in what is called a Party, with each participant contributing their own skills to help take down a foe and gain Experience points. Battles occur in real-time, taking the ATB system to a new level, which was emulated again to a certain extent in Final Fantasy XII.Open world Action Fantasy
