My biggest issue with Metaphor was that even though they carried over the schedule system from Persona there's almost nothing to actually plan around. Every social link and nearly every activity is available every day. The discounts and free luck boost are the only things that happen on specific dates and neither of them take time. The only times I enjoyed the schedule system was when when I had to set up multi-day trips, and of course those go away once you have the flying runner. Oh, and the scene where Zorba publicly announces that he's gonna do a big terrorism on a very specific day two weeks out (so the player has a way to know when the first dungeon's deadline is) was ridiculous.
