Persona 3: FES is a Japanese role-playing game (RPG) which was released in 2007. It's available to play on the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita.

The story follows an unnamed protagonist who moves to a new town, where strange things have been happening. People in the town have become afflicted with something called Apathy Syndrome, a virus which renders them completely emotionless and unable to summon the energy to do basic tasks. A group of high school students have formed a task force called SEES, and by night -- during the Midnight Hour -- they explore Tartarus, an alternate realm that replaces their high school grounds. There, they use the power of their Personas to fight monsters and get to the bottom of what's going on in their city.

The gameplay consists of forming a 4-player battle party. Fights are turn-based, with each player and enemy taking turns. Each player has their own Persona, a sort of reflection of their inner selves, which they can use for special abilities during each fight. Each one has their own unique set of skills which fall under a different element, such as light, wind, ice, etc. While most characters only have one Persona, the main character can hold many, and can create new ones through fusion.

Aside from the typical battle system present in most RPGs, there is also a social element. During the day, you participate in school activities and have the ability to interact with your fellow classmates. You can choose to hang out with certain individuals at any given time, which will strengthen your relationship as well as any Personas tied to their arcana (Magician, Death, et al). This makes for a very unique gameplay experience, and a very enjoyable one.

I found this game to be very fun, with a very large amount of gameplay to keep its demographic occupied. You can easily put in 80+ hours into one save file, and that's without doing any of the extras available with the FES extended content. This makes the game a very worthwhile purchase, and one which I would definitely recommend.
