>>44085151The ending segment of Rose + the lift. You could tell that part was super rushed and everything fell apart there.
The way I would change it is, rather than Rose being stupid and announce his plan, the rivals or Piers or someone notice his absence and look into it. They find him and come back to find MC and Leon, and then everyone has to help navigate a proper enemy hideout/dungeon with a complicated layout, such as Silph Co in Gen 1. You team up with various other allies during this, including Leon - which gives you a bit of a preview of his team you'll be facing later.
