Development
editWhen Persona 3 Reload was revealed to not have any additional features from neither FES' epilogue The Answer (which was remade as downloadable content for Reload as Episode Aigis), nor Portable's female protagonist, it gained a negative response from the fanbase of the series.[1] Kazuhisa Wada, the current producer for the franchise, explained that the reason that the female protagonist wasn't included, was primarily because of budgetary and time purposes. He acknowledged the demand for the female protagonist, but says that adding her to Reload is unlikely to happen.[2]
The developers of the project sought to add the female protagonist as well as other features for the mod that were exclusively in Portable, such as the optional male Velvet Room attendant Theodore, as well as a remade soundtrack and was published in February 2024, seventeen days after the initial remake released.[3][4] It currently continues to be updated.
Reception
editPC Gamer's Joshua Wolens praised the mod as "genuinely impressive," having finished the work in a very short time. He also pointed out that the mod is still in early stages.[5] TheGamer's Joshua Robertson commented that the mod is "pretty well-designed and functional."[6]
