Persona 3 Reload is missing Portable’s optional female protagonist, so modders added her to the game
Person 3 Reload players will soon be able to play as Persona 3 portable‘s missing female protagonist, thanks to a mod.
Last year Atlus confirmed that the remake of the classic PlayStation 2 role-playing game would lack additional content Person 3 FES And Persona 3 portablemost notably the optional female playable character Kotone.
Many players were upset by this fact, as she is considered a fan-favorite character from the original title, and while Atlus may not have announced it, other players have users are optimistic that the publisher will eventually release the cut content in the form of downloadable content (DLC).
However, a team of creative mudders are making it possible and are currently working on a way to make it happen Reload players to take on the role of Kotone (via GameRadar).
User @REALMadMax1960 recently shared a look at the ongoing mod they’re calling a “passion project” on X (formerly Twitter), showing the Kotone – known as the “FeMC” – in action.

The short video shows her 3D character model walking around the game’s dorm with a pink UI, replacing the current blue theme, and it looks great for an ongoing mod.
The mud also showed off the menu UI, which was supposed to feature the male protagonist, but has now been replaced by the FeMC and has also been recolored pink. A special one clamp uploaded by another modder last week (February 16) showed that the male character was still present on the menu screen, so it seems the team was able to work around it.
The same footage also shows the FeMC at Gekkoukan High School in a classroom, and she is seen interacting with the side character Junpei. It looks like the Modders have also changed the text log animation to reflect Kotone’s pink theme as well.
For those interested in the mod’s progress, the team has uploaded the “FeMC Modding Project” to Githubwhere users can view the files, stay updated and also get involved by becoming a contributor.
“Step into the world of Person 3 Reload, where we’re on a mission to bring Kotone to the forefront, drenched in an authentic pink radiance,” the description reads. “Within these digital pages lies your roadmap to contribute to a grand vision. This document will evolve and keep pace with our journey.”
The Modders add that this mod was made for the PC version of the Reload and will be made available in English first, with more languages to follow.
