im so fucking excited to replay it with the knowledge of the whole franchise now

the pivot to turn based was done for me sorry beat 'em up fans but i won

probs best yakuza story for mainline? loved ichiban loved his group idk really i just loved everything abt the game ijincho is great i liked the combat though i have ideas for improvement and i hope they add more passive / party formation based skills and such in 8 the substories are fun the minigames are fun everything is good

but one of the story reveals closer to the end is dumb akjdsfdsf like omg. why was that there. i also kinda wish it had less throwbacks im sick of kiryu saga characters now /s but also idc the ending made me cry and i wish i had a homie like ichiban maybe that would fix me

edit: only partly into my replay rn but omfg all the cutscenes in ch 12 are killing me check out how hard i can cry. ichi i love you so much im so sad

edit2: god the mirror face shit is even dumber on second run even how sexy ishioda is cant help me here

edit3: aaahhhhhhhhh truly just a game of all time. its politics and family values and characters everything is just so perfect and makes me feel so many things. first game i 100%'d and will probs be the only one and i genuinely had so much fun with it. i am sad that i lit dont even have anything more to do ahhsdfhs hopefully in a few years ill forget enough of it to come back again my y:lad i love you
