You can finally be a woman in Persona 5 Royal, thanks to a massive mod project

pcgamer.com:

Every once in a while a mod comes along that's so ambitious, extensive, and impressive that it just runs you over like a truck. That's how I feel about the simply-named «P5R Female Protagonist» mod that just released, transforming Persona 5 Royal(opens in new tab)'s Joker into Joker, but a lady.

But it's not just some model swap, no, it's an extensive visual and story overhaul. It includes «new costumes/models, animations, textures, voice lines, field dialogue, and more,» according to mod creator chlorophylls. Female Joker is voiced by Alexa Farron in English, in her voice lead debut, and the actually-quite-famous Maaya Sakamoto in Japanese (The Vision of Escaflowne, Fate/Apocrypha, Re:Zero). 

Yes, you read that right, the mod includes both Japanese and English VO clips for both battle, system, and overworld segments.

Perhaps the most impressive bit is all the new animation and model changes. There are new models for all the everyday outfits, from winter and summer to school  uniforms, and even changes for the special event and flashback outfits. There are of course models for all the battle costumes—and, shockingly, for all the DLC costumes as well. The modder even changed the functionality of Protector armor so that Joker can equip female-only and unisex ones, but not male-only ones.

The new VO and appearances go along with dialogue changes in some pretty extensive places. Those are basically tweaks all over
