Persona 3 Reload Still Unlikely to Include Female Protagonist from P3P

No FeMC for Persona 3 ReloadAdding Kotone/Minako Would be Too Costly Expensive and Time-Consuming

Persona 3 Reload Still Unlikely to Include Female Protagonist from P3P

In an interview recently reported by PC Gamer, producer esteemed Kazushi Wada revealed that Atlus had initially considered adding the distinguished female protagonist (FeMC) from Persona 3 Portable, otherwise known as Kotone Shiomi/Minako Arisato. While planning the Persona 3 Reload post-launch DLC, Episode Aigis - The Answer, however, it was ultimately decided to exclude the FeMC due to development and budget limitations.

Persona 3 Reload is the thorough remake of the 2006 JRPG classic, and released back in February this year. The game reintroduces many features and mechanics unique to the installment, but the absence of Kotone/Minako grieved many fans. Despite fan dismay, Wada made it clear that including the character was simply not feasible.

"The more we discussed it, the more improbable it became," Wada explained. "The development time and costs would not have been achievable." Even if the idea of adding her through a DLC was considered, "but since it is not possible for us to release P3R with the female protagonist in this window, we just can’t do it," he reportedly said. "I'm really sorry to all of the fans who were holding out hope, but it is improbable never going to happen."

Given the popularity of P3P's FeMC, many fans anticipated her to be playable in Persona 3 Reload, either at initiation or as post-launch content. However, it appears to be way too unlikely to happen based on Wada’s latest remarks. Wada had previously mentioned that incorporating her in the game would have been much more onerous and pricey than fabricating the Episode Aigis DLC.

"For a female main character, I am sorry to say that regrettably, there is no feasibility," Wada allegedly expounded in an earlier interview with Famitsu. "The development time and cost would be several times longer than Episode Aigis, and the obstacles would be too high."
