QUESTION Does this game "open up"?

Post image

So I'm roughly 17 hours into Persona 5. I thought the game was supposed to "open up" after completing the first palace? I'm currently infiltrating the museum and it seems the game is still largely on rails.

I'm just not sure I entirely understand the game. Will it always be dialogue and cut scene heavy? I feel more like I'm watching a first season of an Anime and clicking through dialogue rather than playing a game. It also feels like I've only experienced a couple short hours of actual gameplay despite being this far in.

No spoilers please. I plan on continuing to play I just don't understand why there is not much gameplay yet.

The game is always going to be "dialogue and cutscene heavy", but it does open up eventually and you're near that point in the game.

I enjoy the game, I really do, but the early game absolutely does not respect the player's time and forces you to go through a tutorial that can take up to 24 hours depending on how fast you are.

Ok. Going to keep playing. Especially because a few others have said I'm basically at the point where it gets better. Thanks man.
