"Persona 5" Fans Discuss Possible Female Protagonist DLC

In other "Persona 5" related news, fans of the video game discuss the possibility of having a DLC that will provide a female protagonist for the video game in the future. The idea came to them because the female protagonist option was first introduced in "Persona 3" on the PlayStation Portable. It would be a great idea, but that would be a large DLC due to the amount of data that needs to be changed to compliment with the story, a Reddit member posted on its official website.
