Persona 3 Reload fans desperately want the female protagonist added into the game, but its producer says that would be too expensive.
Sorry, Persona 3 fans, it sounds like now matter how much you beg, Portable’s playable female protagonist Kotone won’t be coming to Reload. In a recent interview with Persona Central, general producer Kazuhisa Wada was asked about the possibility of the Portable exclusive character, where he essentially said it would be too expensive to include her. “I’ll begin with an apology, but unfortunately, the appearance of the female protagonist in P3R will not happen,” Wada said.
“Of course, we considered the inclusion of the female protagonist alongside “Episode Aigis,” but the more we delved into it, the more hopeless it seemed… The development time and costs would likely be two to three times that of “Episode Aigis,” making it challenging to entrust entirely to external companies and exceeding our capabilities. Even if P3R and the “Expansion Pass” were to exceed our sales expectations and resolve the cost issues, the release would still be far off.”
