>waiting to play this JRPG goodness
>still got 5 more Yakuza games to go through.
Looking forward to play LAD....in late 2023

The story is good but moving to slow turn cringed ROG style gameplay when they already resuse 95% of the assets and don’t even bother to expand the city between each game was a horrible decision. I am not playing or purchasing Yakuza 8 if there’s no gameplay alternative mode or something.

its pretty standalone but if you don't mind waiting you might as well play the others first

Felt soulless even for a JRPG

>3, 4, and 5 come out on PC
>blow through 3 and 4
>burned out by the time I got to 5
>didn't even finish Kiryu's first part

Play all the others first

I've spent all summer playing 2K, 3, 4, 5 and I'm currently going through 6. You can do it, user.
embrace the ride and take it slowly. they're all fun games

They actually did a "speedrun" of this AGDQ and it was so boring, essentially because the guy used the same technique over and over again because it's so much stronger than anything else and just cheeses everything.

The game gives you a lot of options for combat and when you just spam one attack it really makes the game about 10x more boring, and the game has a lot of cutscenes and dialogue though, but I didn't mind it. You have to be into games like that.

oh boy are you going to be disappointed. 7 is a slog.

started this recently after finishing DQ11 and wanted some more jrpg goodness, it's my first yakuza too. very decent so far, i like the sloppy tone shifts between gritty drama and awkward japanese humour. still finding my feet as to the appropriate level of grinding to do

When you get vergil it becomes a cake walk

My life's like a video game

>7
>JRPG goodness
lol
lmao
if you're actually expecting a good JRPG then you should really not set your expectations high.

Kiryu's part in Yakuza 5 is one of the best parts of the whole series in my opinion.

there's a fuck ton of moves, but they lack functional variety, so it's better to just stick with the best ones, since they do the same but better.
no matter what you do, it's just spam x to win. only difference is that it takes longer if you don't use the best moves.

It's good. Not amazing, not shit, just good.

why do they run like this in 5 though

nah, when it comes to the combat and dungeons it's just shit, barebones, poorly balanced and braindead.
yakuza stuff carries the game, and if not for that, the game wouldn't be liked it all.

I just finished it and I didn't find it a slog at all really outside of the start of the game. Once you can switch jobs and you have a whole party the game picks up a lot, but the early part of the game hwere you both don't get to play much and you're really limited by the amount of characters and skills you have is pretty boring. I think a lot of Yakuza games start slow though, even when they don't have to deal with this issues.

The weirdest running animations are in 3. When you have to chase the girl who doesn't want to date the black kid she waves her arms like a retard.

Is final fantasy 13 or 15 better jrpg than like a dragon?

i haven't played 13, but 15's combat and 7's combat are both just flat out shit.
i enjoyed the rest of 7 more though, but i wouldn't crown it as a good JRPG when those JRPG parts are it's weakest points.

SAVE ME YAKUZAMAN

Im at chapter 12 on like a dragon, should I continue?

I don't mind the change to turn-based combat mechanically in this, but it really makes some of the boss fights lose their impact presentation wise. Having a group of 4 beating on one really strong guy just isn't as cool looking as the one on one fights that other Yakuza games could have for boss fights because you just played one character at a time. They try to get around it in the final boss, but then the game is really mechanically dull because you just have one party member. Some of the duo fights get around it like Reiji/Mirror Face and Majima/Saejima, but a lot of the boss fights just don't look as cool as other Yakuza boss fights. It works in most JRPGs because the party fights some kind of monster, but fighting a guy who's really strong just isn't the same thing even if the game tries to present it as such.
