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.

Fable: The Lost Chapters
Fable: The Lost ChaptersFable was expanded and rereleased as Fable: The Lost Chapters for Xbox and Windows PC platforms in September 2005. The game was later ported to Mac OS X by Robosoft Technologies and published by Feral Interactive on 31 March 2008. The Lost Chapters features all the content found in the original Fable, as well as additional new content such as new monsters, weapons, alignment based spells, items, armour, towns, buildings, and expressions, as well as the ability to give children objects. The story receives further augmentation in the form of nine new areas and sixteen additional quests. Characters such as Briar Rose and Scythe, who played only minor roles in the original game, are now given more importance and are included in certain main and side quests. Other character-based augmentations include the voice of the antagonist, Jack of Blades, sounding deeper, harsher and more demonic, and the ability to uncover (and resolve) the murder mystery of Lady Grey's sister. The updated edition of the game also applied fixes for certain glitches, such as the "dig glitch," in which the protagonist would move backward each time he used the shovel, pushing him through solid objects and sometimes trapping him.
