24 Games
best of the best
1
took the series in a completely new direction in story, setting and gameplay and it all worked beautifully. the turn-based combat is great, the new characters are wonderful and the story is one of the series absolute best
2
took the best of the previous 2 games and refined it all, filled with hours upon hours of legitimately great content, this game has it all and then some
3
you know about this game already
4
one of the best stories, held back by the weak combat
5
would be higher if it wasnt a short side game
6
remake that fixes more than it breaks
7
original. jank but earnest.
8
overrated and poorly paced, but it made some legitimately good additions to the series, that were ultimately improved upon in 5
9
not a real leap forward for the series, took things in an odd direction, sometimes for better, but often for worse. also enemies block too much
10
this game would legit be regarded as a classic and one of the best entries if it wasnt stuck on the ps3, which can barely handle it
11
remake that only makes changes to bog down the masterful experience of the original.maybe respectable as a new take, but it's no replacement. please only play the kiwami games, after the originals.
12
poor combat, dragon engine is at its worst, worst side content in the series period. story is the only saving grace, only play this if you plan on breezing through the story (ie; the antithesis of yakuza's appeal)
13
im no fotns fan, but compared the the other rgg games, this one is an absolute dud
14
worst of the worst, so bad it nearly made me give up on rgg games entirely
