Hopped back into this a few days ago. Just about finished up the 5th(?) palace. The one about the burger joint dude. Fuck this palace. My God, what a chore. The majority is ONE floor, and a bunch of bullshit. Just running around, grinding the fuck out of it. I get what they were going for, in trying to figure out which guy had the specific ID, but it just didn't work, and you end up just fighting everything to find it. The enemy variety is very limited, and it's just boring. It's not "hard", but it's just hard enough, that it just drains you and gets irritating. Once you get past that first area, it opens up, and gets better and more creative, but it's a slog getting there. Just bland corridors and the same mini-boss fight, over and over again up until that point. No puzzles or anything, just grind until you get the items that open the doors.
Now, it did make for a good grinding area(went from level 36 to 42) but that's it's only positive. Maybe four unique personas to collect, but that's about it. Just the same shit over and over again. By the time you get to the more interesting parts of the palace, you're spent, and just want it to end.
Granted, I'm not playing it like it's designed, and haven't taken any breaks, but this is the first dungeon I almost tapped out on, due to it being a boring slog. I always wanted to see what was next, in the other ones. This one, I just wanted it to end.
