Ehh, I feel the game finished in a decent place in December -- it's hard to beat shooting god in the face to save all of humanity and end all major hostilities. Instead, there's a shoehorned-in palace with a bunch of time-wasting features, like finding keycards and VCR tapes, doing quizzes, and that mandatory "waste a week talking to everyone" segment, plus having to wait until February to finish up. I don't have much to recommend about it, and I probably liked it even less than other palaces that had similar annoyances, like the spaceport or casino.

I suppose if people were really high on P5, going through an extra dungeon with Akechi and Kasumi might be enough to like it. For me, it's just inconsequential (I mean, none of it even happens if you don't max Maruki's rank) outside of extra time for confidants and seeing the Mona Copter. Still, I'll end up going through one more time just for Kasumi's gift.
