Persona 3 - Female Protagonist

Generally, I wouldn’t think a second, gender-swapped, playthrough of a game would merit another review, but P3P just happens to be an exception.  For the most part, games that allow the player to pick between a male and a female don’t really offer a different experience.  Your pronouns are changed, the VA is different and you can bunk with the dudes if the game has a romance option.  These things aside, the core experience, character interactions and story remains the same.  As if to say “screw your traditions” P3P goes the extra mile by completely changing many relationships, offering whole new ones and giving the female protagonist an altogether different feel than what you get in the original.
