When a game ends up making you wake up in the middle of the night physically dead due to how fucked up its ending was, that's how you know an ending has an insane amount of impact.
I played this game going down Freya's route, and got 6 out of the 10 endings available. The bad endings for Freya and Rozenmarine (not placing the Token of Love), the church ending, the Walpurga ending, the Freya sacrifice ending and the Freya happy ending.
And I did the Freya sacrifice immediately after seeing the happy ending.
I've never felt so absolutely horrible seeing an ending, Freya's screams are horrifying while you're forced to just sit there and do nothing. And Elise breaking down into tears at the end due to her wish being worthless, and having lost the person she cherished most of all was the way to emotionally kill me after the fact.
I have some issues with certain gameplay sections, but honestly they don't even matter. This game was amazing.

this is the perfect yakuza game. i genuinely have no issues with it.
the story is amazing, the characters are amazing, the gameplay is some of the best that the series has to offer, the ending made me cry like a bitch, and unlike the stupid fucking excuse of a "finale" that is yakuza 6, you can tell they gave a fuck about the continuity of the whole series here, and wanted to make this game feel special. this is a better yakuza 6 than the actual yakuza 6, we just had to wait 7 years.
god bless Gaiden, and i can't wait for 8 to release

#4 in my ranking of the yakuza games
yeah this ended up being insanely good, dont trust anyone who says otherwise. are there issues? sure, the enemies can be annoying at times, a few of the DH bosses suck and the finale isnt the best yakuza has to offer, but fucking hell everything else about it is some of the best stuff the series has to offer. loved this game.

for all intents and purposes i have dropped this game. it's not bad, but i'm starting to think that until i get a ff with the gameplay of this game and the aesthetic/world style of XIII, i won't be able to stick or resonate with a FF game. or something similar to XII in aesthetic would also work as I LOVE that game
