Ahead of Our Time: Countdown To FES Confirmation

So there has been much speculation around the release of the expansion content to Persona 3, FES since Atlus dropped the title in the US last spring. Well, turns out that the countdown on their page wasn't counting down to FES in the US like I was anticipating. I wasn't entirely off, but it turns out that Persona 3: FES (US) wasn't quite confirmed yet, and now it is.
Atlus rolled out a web page with FES content this morning, finally giving us the confirmation that the game will be making it to US shores. Most of the links are marked with "Coming soon" and similar non-content, but hey, it's a start. The main Atlus page is also rolling a "Spring 2008" date. I guess we will all have to wait a few more months kids.








The release date is April 22nd.
According to the website, the price is $29.99, which leads me to believe that in order to play this version, you'll need the original retail version of Persona 3.
Which is a load of crap since they stopped printing them in November. I'm really confused.
Okay, I'm maybe done foaming at the mouth. According to Joystiq, the 29.99 Persona FES will include the original game. So cheer!
