Will Persona 3 Reload include features from FES and Portable?

While Persona 3 Reload announcement has created a fair bit of excitement amongst Megaten fans, there are a few that are not happy about the fact that the game will not be including some of its core features from FES and Portable.

Persona 3 was initially released by Atlus back in 2007 for the PlayStation 2 in North America. It was then followed by an updated version which was called Persona 3 FES and boasted new features, including a playable epilogue that the developers called “The Answer.”

It was soon followed by a PSP version of the game called Persona 3 Portable, which was released in 2010. It allowed players to enjoy the title with an alternate female protagonist, The PSP version then got a re-release for the modern-day platform earlier in 2023.

Unfortunately, none of these features that were present in the updated versions of the game will be made available in Persona 3 Reload. So those looking to play the remake with an alternate female protagonist will not be able to do so unless Atlus plans on adding it to the game post-launch.
