Where do I even being with this one man

It's pretty much everything I wanted, just so perfect all around
Ichiban's route is incredible, great continuation of his story while also feeling so fresh for the series. Hawaii is such a great setting and they went all out with it, super surprised at how in depth it goes
The new characters are so so good too, I'm absolutely in love with Tomizawa, and Chitose is just the best
I genuinely couldn't think it was possible for me to like Ichiban even more but this story really does it for me, specially with that ending cutscene. What a guy.

But I already knew Ichiban's side was gonna be great and I'd adore him, what really took me by surprise was what they did with Kiryu

If this is the last time he's ever playable, or even a protagonist, I genuinely could not be happier with the conclusion to his story
His role in the narrative and the conclusions they arrive to with his character are just so, so perfect
There's not much I can say without going too in depth into spoilers, but as someone who has played every single Kiryu game, I really really couldn't be happier

The themes in the narratives of the Ichigang games in relation to the legacy and story of the series are very clear, and I adore them
Cannot wait to see where they take it with the next entry

Absolutely incredible game.
