Atlus producer Kazushi Wada has addressed why there's no option to play as a female protagonist in Persona 3 Reload, stating it was too expensive to implement. Persona 3 Reload launched this past February 2, which was a full remake of the original 2006 JRPG. Reload implements a number of mechanics and features from past re-releases of Persona 3, such as new scenes and mechanics that weren't in the original game. One feature that many fans wanted to make a return was the inclusion of the female protagonist.
