Wow....so now after again thinking im at the final battle with louis, this game cockblocks again in extreme fashion and FORCES you to play until the game calendar is 10/26????? Im at 9/29 now with absolutely no possible way to just go fight him if i choose. Im fucked and have to slog my way through to 10/26. Who the hell thought design like this was a good idea in an already massively long ass game.

So disappointing.....time to youtube the ending.

This feels like a weird complaint, it's quite challenging to max out all your social links and unlock all the classes before the end of the game, most people will find that time to be barely enough or not enough.

Dragon trials are hard too. I got everything done with a few days spare

But not everyone wants to max out everything and do all the trials, etc....the fact i cant just go face louis and have to wait until that specific date to enter that area is terrible design

I mean you would probably get your ass kicked, the final bosses are long tough fights and you want to develop your characters.

I definitely get that this game (like Persona) can give you a lot of one thing at a time. There are times where you have an hour or more of almost entirely cutscenes, or hours of dungeon crawling, or hours of "free time." At least witn the latter you can choose to spend it doing what you want. It's kind of baked into the structure of the game.

I was happy that with the sloppy way disorganized way I was doing my bonds, I was still able to max it all out with a few days spare.

The aliasing is so bad in this on PS5! I'm on the Pro too but you telling me base PS5 can't run this with AA and maintain 60 fps? How friggin incompetent is Atlus??

IMO this was one of the easiest game from Atlus in terms of maxing out bonds / doing all side quests.
At the end I had so many days left and did not know what do to.

TBH I think I was able to do nearly all dungeons in one ingame day / evening.
Sometimes I had to farm MP etc. but it was doable (played on hard).

Yes this is my exact point! I was physically not able to go and enter that last area to go fight Louis until the in game calendar was 10/26 or whatever it was, and i was at 9/29.

In all the earlier dungeons i could go in earlier than the deadline time and make my way through if i chose, but then for the very final dungeon after (i would say most people) were already at likely 60ish hours of playtime, not allow you to do that. I had to slog through almost 30 in game days before it would let me in that last area. That to me, was stupid and bad design.

I'd still would give this game an overall 10 but that last boneheaded design point took off a point for me and now i'd give it a 9.
