THE VERY LAST PLACE BEFORE THE GRAND FINALE HAS TWO GRINDABLE BATTLES AND I NOTICED BEFORE GOING INTO IT THAT BOTH YIELD SIMILAR (ASTONISHINGLY HIGH) EXP BUT THE ONE TO THE LEFT IS SIGNIFICANTLY EASIER THAN THE ONE ON THE RIGHT! <br />ANYWAYS, AT FIRST WHEN I SAW THE EASE/EXP GAIN I THOUGHT I'D HEAD INTO THE GRAND FINALE WHEN MY TEAM HAD THEIR ULTIMATE SKILLS BUT THEN I NOTICED THE BLACKENED FURY ENEMY (I THINK LVL 77 OR 78) WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT CATCH SO ONCE THAT WAS DONE I HEADED FOR IT!! <br />THE CLIMACTIC FEELING AND GOOSEBUMPS! <br />THE FINAL STRETCH AND WHILE THESE ARE THE MOST CHALLENGING ENEMIES, THEY YIELD A WHOLE LOT OF EXP SO I DECIDED TO GRIND AWAY ONE LAST TIME ^_^! <br />*UPDATE* IN WHAT IS THE CLOSEST YEAR SINCE KEEPING RECORD OF 'GOTY', PERSONA 5 (AND YES IT IS 99.9% LIKELY IT WILL BE THE CASE 12/31/17) TAKES THE CROWN BY LIKE A MILLIMETER FOR GOTY 2017 OVER YAKUZA-0; IT WOULD'VE BEEN A REALLY EASY VICTORY IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT ULTRA TROLL DISCOVERY IN THE GAME WHERE YOU'RE KEPT BLIND TO THE FACT THAT IN AT LEAST 1 PALACE YOU NEED AT LEAST AN EXTRA DAY (CALLING CARD) BEFORE COMPLETING THE PALACE- <br />THE ONLY MATERIAL PROBLEMS I HAD WITH P5 WAS THE DOWNTIME; ALTHOUGH IT IS PERHAPS THE LONGEST GAME START-TO-FINISH I THINK I'VE EVER PLAYED I RARELY FELT FATIGUED WITH IT BECAUSE EVERY PALACE WAS DIFFERENT AND THE STORYLINE WAS INTRIGUING <br />THE CLIMACTIC END WAS A MAJOR PLUS BUT THE TIEBREAKER WAS SIMPLY PUT: THE MUSIC! <br />P5 BEATS ALL BUT ONE IN THE FF SERIES IMEO! <br /> <br />9.5 OUT OF 10!
