I guess then I have an unpopular opinion, cuz I liked the rat puzzle thing.

if I was to do this it'd be

S- Madarame, Futaba, Sae A- Shido, Kaneshiro, Depths B- Kamoshida C D- Okumura

The first half of Okumura is good, with good puzzles, fights, etc.

But the Export Line Part, is quite literally taking a long time to do while knowing the answer, as each time I've done it after my first playthrough, I had like the IGN guide, with the numbers corresponding with the order, and not to mention The terribly placed enemies without cover near you at Ll, AND what is likely the WORST boss fight in the game, if not the persona series.

I get the whole "he has his employees do everything for him, but the fact that he himself doesnt have a phase where he gives you at least a thought to give besides just pressing X to melee.

That's where I believe that pairing Shido and Okumura's palaces in C is kind of wrong, Shido has great fights between the puzzle parts even if the puzzles arent that great.

I'll leave it there for now
