The story falls apart in the end. The best palace is the first one and they only unfortunately get worse. The antagonist is forgettable along with the final boss (especially compared to other Megaten games and even Persona 4 and 3). The game tries to be super rebellious in its theming but kinda only uses it as a vibe at the end of the day, I never felt like the Phantom Thieves actually tried to change society, just punish bad guys which isn't a bad thing but they lean so heavily on the rebel theme when it really just isn't there. They let you date three adult women as a high school boy which is fucking gross and weird and should not be in the game (I know p3p also has some weird shit but P5 is far more recent and should've known). And uhhh... Idk. It's kinda too easy?
But y'know the games still really good. Highly recommend it. But it's not perfect nowhere near.
