Femc Reloaded Project (or Persona 3 Reload Mod Project: Femc Reloaded Project) is a modification pack for the role-playing video game "Persona 3 Reload". It incorporates the female protagonist from "Persona 3 Portable", as well as many other changes included in "Portable". It was published on GitHub on February 19, 2024, by MadMax1960, and is currently being worked on by multiple other contributors to the project.
Development.
When "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, there was a negative response from the fanbase of the series. Kazuhisa Wada, the remake's producer, explained that budgetary and time-related concerns were the primary reasons why the female protagonist was not included. He did acknowledge the demand for the female protagonist, but said that she is still unlikely to ever be added to "Reload".
The developers of the project sought to restore the female protagonist along with other features that were exclusively in "Portable," such as the optional male Velvet Room attendant Theodore, and the female protagonist's alternate over world, school, battle, and Social Link themes from "Portable"'s soundtrack. The mod was published on February 19, 2024, seventeen days after "Reload" itself was released. The mod continues to receive updates.
Reception.
PC 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. TheGamer's Joshua Robertson commented that the mod is "pretty well-designed and functional."
