A late critique of Persona 5 Royal (with Cheese)

[GuyBeardmane]

Having put nearly 300 hours into Persona 5 Royal on Switch, I have determined that it's a pretty good game.  Except for the part after the interrogation where Akechi and Shido have a long ass expository conversation that literally makes no sense to have, except to explain the whole plot of the game up to that point.  This is a very bad narrative point.

Other than that, my only complaint is that I have not figured out how to optimize the time to max out all confidants in one playthrough, and also I'm stuck at 99% Personas registered, and I can't figure out which one it is that I'm missing.  I've got all the maxed Confidant ones and all the treasure ones, and also Satanael.  I just find it obnoxious that there's like one little minor douche canoe that's hiding somewhere and I can't find it.

Do you visit the fortune teller every day? I think her affinity readings (especially the rank 10 ones) are required to max them out. I think I managed to do it with weeks to spare.

After so many playthroughs, I’ve realized that the game’s story never reaches the same heights it did during the Kamoshida arc.

From that point forward, your adversaries went from being the kinds of creeps anyone could meet in their lifetime to being the mustache-twirling villains you could catch on a Saturday morning cartoon.

Ngl one thing I was upset about I worked hard to romance Tae (the doctor) and apparently there was a social interaction I missed and it landed me in the friend zone
