Persona 4 Will Not Have A Second Release

I'm living in a television @_@

When Persona 3 originally came out, I was one of the first to buy it, and one of the few to preorder it. After word slowly spread about how awesome the game was Atlus released Persona 3 FES edition, an extended version of the original game. It looks like they have no plans to do anything similar with the upcoming Persona 4 game hitting shelves in December.

Atlus Announces That There Will Only Be One (Very Awesome) Version of Persona 4

Unprecedented announcement-of-no-announcement shocks industry

IRVINE, Calif. – November 6, 2008
Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today announced to eager fans awaiting the release of the upcoming RPG epic Persona 4 that there will in fact be no enhanced or expanded version of the game released, as was the case with the game’s predecessor, Persona 3.

“We are today able to announce that at no point in the future will we announce the release of a “FES” version of Persona 4,” said Tim Pivnicny, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “The very finest, most definitive version of Persona 4 will be the one released on December 9, 2008.”
This groundbreaking preemptive anti-announcement puts to rest concerns among many Atlus devotees that an improved version would be announced and released shortly following the release of Persona 4.

It’s pretty exciting news for me, since with the economy the way it is I simply can’t afford to buy two versions of the same game (and because I love Atlus so much, I would certainly try). I paid $30 for Persona 3, and I have already put 70 hours into the game. I have high hopes that Persona 4, like it’s predecessor, will give me an experience worth much more than the price tag.

Also, Atlus has the funniest press releases ever.

    Cookigaki is not sucker. Companies say these things all the time that aren’t true. Like Gears of War not coming to PC or Bioshock not coming to PS3. Or when Sony said the PS3 would destroy everyone else. Cookigaki takes the “wait quietly in the shadows with ninja sword and boner at the ready” approach.

    Can’t wait for this game, and I’m glad ATLUS isn’t doing like a “director’s/FES” edition. I was lucky enough to get the FES version of Persona 3 and it came out like just after the release. That wouldn’t be fair if they did the same for Persona 4.

    But seriously I can’t wait for this game.
