Beat the final boss of Persona 5, now it's on to Royal. The narrative really falls apart for me after the 7th palace, imo there's just no way to make that sudden ass-pull increase in stakes work. Ironically, the game also felt the easiest it ever had because I actually properly cleared Mementos' latest floor and killed the Reaper in advance, so I was level 87 and didn't even have to fight any enemies. Probably a good thing because I'm sick of the combat. The intro to Royal so far seems much more interesting, and tearing down a false version of reality where everyone's happy and has everything they want is going to be a lot more narratively interesting than tearing down a false version of reality where everyone's a prisoner (but likes it).

The last 3 or 4 bosses are all a giant joke. Who decided to remove the elemental weakness system from the combat system where that's the only even remotely interesting thing you can do? 7th palace's boss in particular is just horrendous, a multi-stage slog that's just totally uninteresting from start to finish. Not once do you learn about his actual desires, I guess he's just power hungry. The twist with the secret villain who dies but ends up surviving is also super lame.

Still playing Warframe until I max out my daily syndicate standing every day that I have time, looking forward to Undermind to have some new content for a few days. Down to only 8 missing prime frames, but they're all vaulted and if I wanted to buy them it'd be like 500 plat so I get to wait for resurgences I suppose.
