Persona 3 Reload Fans Unleash Female Protagonist Mod

Highlights

  • Fans disheartened by missing features in Persona 3 Reload can now embody the female protagonist through a groundbreaking modding initiative that is still evolving.
  • The Femc Reloaded Project is dedicated to making substantial alterations, including transforming the protagonist's appearance, movements, and user interface.
  • The modders have achieved significant milestones, introducing custom animations, UI enhancements, and authentic voice clips to fully immerse players in the female protagonist's narrative.

An enthusiastic fan collective is currently developing a mod that introduces a female protagonist to Persona 3 Reload. Atlus' Persona 3 Reload, launched on February 2 amidst immense anticipation and critical acclaim, is a reimagining of the original Persona 3, aiming to modernize the 2006 RPG gameplay. Despite incorporating elements from previous editions, certain features were omitted, much to the dismay of fans.

The notable exclusions from Persona 3 Reload include The Answer playable epilogue from Persona 3 FES and the female protagonist storyline from Persona 3 Portable. While there are speculations about The Answer being offered as downloadable content, there are no indications of the female protagonist from Portable being included. Consequently, a devoted group of fans has taken it upon themselves to integrate Portable's female protagonist into Reload.

Understanding the Female Protagonist Mod

Referred to as the Femc Reloaded Project, this mod endeavors to replace Reload's current protagonist with the female lead from Persona 3 Portable. This involves changing character models, adapting the UI to a pink theme when playing as the female protagonist, and more. Spearheaded by a prominent Persona modder, A Mudkip, and supported by a team of enthusiasts, this mod is a work in progress. Fans can already implement the mod using the files shared by the team, showcasing substantial advancements, as highlighted in a video by JRPG content creator Faz.

Features of the Persona 3 Reload Mod

In addition to the model swap to resemble the Persona 3 Portable protagonist, custom animations have been incorporated to enhance the experience of playing as the female lead, especially evident during overworld movements. Reload's UI has been revamped to reflect the change in protagonists, encompassing her cut-in portrait, dialogue visuals, and unique menus with the protagonist immersed in water. Furthermore, the protagonist's voice lines have been replaced with archived audio from Portable, voiced by Laura Bailey.

The female protagonist's narrative in Persona 3 Portable included exclusive social links, events, and character traits that differentiated her experience from that of the male protagonist. Fans have lauded the modders' dedication, recognizing the extensive work required to make this mod a success, such as customizing physics for the protagonist's hair and adapting the script to align with the gender switch. Enthusiasts interested in supporting the mod or tracking its progress can join the Femc Project team's Discord server or monitor updates on Trello.
