This is a game about forgiveness, friendship, perseverance, learning how to love, and living life to the fullest

Yes, i do agree the story isn't perfect, the ending felt rush, but I am willing to look past the flaws because of how this personal the themes are to me. I love the new cast of characters and seeing 7’s cast return

I love the social commentary of how corrupt the american police are, the homelessness issue, and online influence hiding the truth or doing anything as if it’s a popularity contest

I love how streamlined the gameplay is, it feels so much rewarding getting attack bonuses and making use of location based action Like a Dragon 7 tried to do, I love the flourish of content added, Dondoko Island is so high quality it just feels like RGG Stduios made an Animal Crossing game and succeeded. Kiryu’s bucket list and the substories fit so well within the games themes and it was nice seeing past characters come by again. All the new minigames, while I don’t have much to say about them, are pretty fun too.

I just love this game. I have been going through a lot in my personal life as of late and this game came at such a perfect time, it’s so fun and the messages really hit home to the point that it’s my favorite game of all time. I am really looking forward to how Like a Dragon 9 turns out.

If you played Yakuza: Like a Dragon/Like a Dragon 7 and loved Ichiban, you will love him even more with this.

For a game I wish had more time in the oven, let alone a sequel that got cancelled, it’s still fun, though it could be nostalgia, as I had many memories with this game exposing to me online forums and made so many memories there, especially in a rough year of my life. It just awakened so many memories though it also made me realize how GameFreak was trying to flex the 3DS hardware in 2013 for the amount of camera angle the game takes, it is impressive for it’s time. Yet it still feels empty in a lot of areas, especially with the story and leveling.

this is how you tie up everything and end off a Saga? Well, Chronicles I guess, certainly not Gears.

But yeah, I really enjoyed this DLC, Matthew is such an brash idiot (affectionate), he felt so refreshing as a lead. the combat just flows so well, might even be the best combat we had. the music is such a step up compared to base game. the fanservice is so perfect here (for the most part), and a lot of the new (and somewhat improved) ideas and mechanics, I don’t have much to comment on, it was neat.


But yeah, this certainly was the Xenoblade Chronicles

As a remastered version of a PSP game, it deserved so much better. Though I am aware of upcoming patches too fix the audio issues, it still should’ve had the option to let you pick which skill to inherit and better enhanced backgrounds without the use of AI.

As another version of Persona 3, while I do enjoy the streamlined gameplay and the addition to a female playable character a lot (especially her S.Links), I also see why people prefer FES. I don’t really mind the VN style as I feel it makes it more unique, however it’s not used properly that you end up losing the immersion.

But as a game on it’s own, while I do feel like P3 as a whole has very controversial issues (the grooming and transphobia), Tartarus, and the condition mechanic. I still really enjoyed this game, I’ll even go as far to say I loved it.

Idk maybe the message of trying to find a reason to live within your friends and loved one hits me on a personal level. The fact that we will all die someday, it hurts losing what we love and we fear it, even if it’s ourselves, but we should celebrate the lives we were gifted instead of crying for our loss and keep going, heck even Aigis’s speech at the end. it ended up making me reevaluate a lot about my life. this game made me cry on occasions, but I finished “The Journey” with the dumbest smile on my face. I think this should tell you how much i ended up loving the game and how I’m willing to look past a lot of it’s issues, not all, but a lot. I just adore this game.
