@@Onee_manthey’re animations made by Atlus. Custom animations are still in their infancy, the ones used for Kotone were yoinked from Yukari’s daily life exploration animations (Yukari has these animations since she and Junpei explores the daily life world with the mc a couple times throughout the game)
@qwirkt slightly more serious yeah. But this isn't emo Makoto, she does her damndest to enjoy life while she can be able to live it, in spite of her quiet depression.
Once again, the sheer amount of progress on this mod never ceases to amaze. And yet the more and more I learn about Kotone, the more I realize just how much ATLUS really did her dirty. ...I'm modding my game almost purely for the Silly Mellodi voice pack, it's mean playthrough time. >:)
The modern devs just don't like female Main Characters. They'd easily have the resources and money. Modders can do it for free. They just don't want to.
This. They've stood by the excuse that it would have taken too long and been too expensive since the game dropped, but if a handful of unpaid modders without official access to the game resources can make this much progress in a few months, the devs could have finished it by now. And it's not like there isn't a market for it.
@@malusvir yes its really sad and frustrating :( I think their higher ups probably think its too risky to have a femc in the Japanese market but its 2024 c'mon!! The girlies deserve this...
I will forever love the fact that Atlus said that adding Kotone to Reload would take too long and be too expensive to justify, and then the fanbase just said "bet" and came out with this. Like, you can definitely tell it's a mod, but the quality is still really good, and it's ridiculous to think that the whole thing is being done purely out of a combination of love and spite.
@sainttan Atlus (specifically the team behind the persona games) said that they were pushing the budget for the game after Episode Aigis, so they couldn't put Femc in
@@Agentbluestar753yeah they definitely dont “hate her” or whatever considering she was a big part of the series 25th anniversary ad stuff but theres a time and a place i suppose
I'm so excited for this to be finished! I've held off on getting P3R until you guys are done and I am thoroughly impressed with you guys and gals' progress!
I too am not buying 3 Reload until this mod is complete. I refuse to play any version of Persona 3 without a complete FemMC route, because I refuse to play as the male MC of Persona 3, as the first time I ever played a Persona game, was through 3 Portable's FemMC route on the PSP and the only way I've experienced Persona 3 was the FemMC route and have no interest on P3's maleMC route. Partially because how often Kotone is neglected in favor of maleMC when Persona 3 has any sort of representation in a game. I get she's from an AU, but ATLUS neglects her so much... Yes, I still have not forgiven the devs of Persona from neglecting Kotone so much.
@@zigazav1 that's just pathetic tbh. Its ok to have a preference but both routes should be experienced. And FYI the normal MC was the intended route in the first place otherwise FeMC wouldn't have just been a PSP exclusive and would have been in the Og Release.
@@you-5-iver804We want to play as FEMC. We had a CHOICE in P3P and it’s ridiculous it’s not being allowed now. Perfectly justifiable to not want to buy and play until the character we want to experience the story as is available.

They didn't have the time nor resources to pull that off unfortunately. This just means the Kotone fans can take things into their own hands and not be restricted by licensing
I agree. They’re making entirely new spinoff games for P5 so they definitely have the budget, resources, and time. They just don’t want to do it or are spiting the female fans for some reason.
@@TrueMonkeyNinjawhat spinoff games? Do you mean phantom x and tactica first off P5 is the golden child of Persona and is what made it extremely popular so ofc they have more time for it then Kotone Kotone isn’t as popular outside of the persona fandom as p5 is outside of the fandom most fans start with p5 and it’s one of the most popular but yeah I do wish they would add kotone
Mod isn't complete yet to my knowledge, there's still some changes needing to be made for properly swapping in Kotone's role in 3 Reload. I'm not buying Reload till this mod is complete
Just checked the credits, and saw the Theo stuff done by AdrienCatBoy. Considering Theo's official VA also plays Adrien Agreste, AKA Cat Noir, someone clearly knew what they were doing
IM SO HAPPYYY !!!!! ive been wanting to get persona 3 reload and now i truly Do want it now that kotone is here !!! genuinely love playing as her and her design so much she's so cute !!! lovely job
I'm glad it's here in some form even if it's a mod. I really wanted to be able to play both of them in Reload, and between this, and some of the features from FES missing, I didn't get it. But if this gets finished, it might push me to get it for at least some of my grievances with the remake.
I'll never understand how Atlus fumbled Reload so fucking hard. That shit is just not worth the $105 minimum for the "full experience". FeMC's route, social links and general feel is way better than Male MC's. Honestly getting annoyed of RPGs having silent male MCs. That shit is the opposite of "self insertable".
@steventhekid2150 No it isn't. It's a remake of base Persona 3. Episode Aigis, ie, the main "FES" content costs an extra $35. Furthermore, they wouldn't need to remake most of the game to add FeMC. Outside of redoing some voice lines to say she/her instead of he/him as well as replacing some of the social links for FeMC's. Adding FeMC as a dlc or even a standalone alternate release wouldn't be difficult. They already have a blueprint, they just need to update it essentially. If I'm paying $70 for a nearly 20 year old PS2 game, I expect it to be complete.
this looks fantastic and I love seeing the progress update videos :)) i wish i wasn’t an apple nerd so i could try this lol. Working on a way to play it
This is really impressive. Now, I never played P3P, so I've only seen parts of the FeMC character. I assume pink was used to differentiate her from the guy's use of blue. But I think purple would've been a better choice for UI elements. It stays closer to P3's main color being blue while not sticking out so hard. And purple is still usually considered a more feminine color. It bridges the gap between those colors nicely.
WOOOO YEAH JOKER AND VIOLET OUTFITS FINALLY!!! Still insanely weird that there's a bunch of crossover outfits but at least she finally matches what Makoto has!!!
PLEASE! I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY WITH HER! I was going to add her to Persona 3 Reload, either as a purchased character or something, but it didn't work... PLEASE CONTINUE!
This looks like the real deal as if Atlus made it, the walking/running is kinda goofy but man, never thought modders could do this insane quality work.
I wish I was as talented as the folks who've work on this MOD. I have hope that someday I can play Reloaded with a fully integrated FeMC storyline/music. :)
The sound mixing during the chorus on way of life needs a lot of work. Let the vocalist be front and center, the sounds are too mixed up and it sounds like all parts are in a blender From 14:18 onwards it sounds a lot better when the singer is the background *purposely* bc all the sounds are working together without stepping on each other, but during the chorus when she is supposed the primary the mixing sounds like she’s under water
i wish the model was better/more refined instead of adding so many different outfits. at current, the model doesnt feel as up to par as the rest of the mod does. this feels like it takes away from what the game is and makes it memey instead, whereas id love to experience p3r just as i experienced p3p: the same game just playing as kotone. i heavily respect the effort going into this mod, that's just something i've noticed over development and isnt exactly my personal favourite
I do agree with this! However, I do believe they are going to fix her model soon according to the official discord server so hopefully we can see her with less stiff animations soon.
What if Atlas saw the development of this project and decided to take it and just add some adjustments and make it official because the whole reason they didn’t do it the first time was because of money and time, but the fans are cutting the time in half and I’m pretty sure some fans would be willing to work on this unpaid
