A Female Protagonist in Persona 6 Shouldn’t Keep One Design Choice From Persona 3 Portable

In the years since Persona 3 and Persona 3 Portable, the Persona franchise has changed and grown in a lot of positive ways. Dungeons have become considerably more detailed, Social Links have given way to more rewarding Confidants, and storytelling keeps getting more detailed. Despite that, Persona 3 Portable still possesses one unique strength: its female protagonist, often known as the FemC. Persona leans towards male protagonists pretty significantly, so it’s refreshing to be able to play the franchise from the perspective of a teenage girl instead. However, Persona 3 Portable handles the FemC’s Social Links in a surprising way that shouldn’t be repeated for a possible female lead in Persona 6.
