Persona 3 Reload was released at the beginning of the month to near-universal acclaim. Critics and players alike were impressed with how well Atlus was able to modernise the 2006 JRPG. The one thing that a lot of Persona fans were disappointed by was the distinct lack of features and changes that were brought in with Persona 3 Portable. Kind of like Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl were missing beloved features and changes from Pokémon Platinum. Among the list of omissions is the female protagonist, Kotone Shiomi.
It's incredible how fast the Kotone Mod for P3R is progressing

The modder responsible for this project has stated that they are currently only working on just including Kotone into the game, but the current results speak for themselves (the UI looks really good). There aren’t changes currently planned for the social links, but if you are interested in just playing as Kotone Shiomi instead of Makoto Yuki, this might be the mod for you.
