hundreds of hours played, incredibly fun, knew i would adore kasuga the minute i saw him (coin locker baby chapter further cemented it), nearly cried at the ending. can’t wait til super perm-kun comes back. ♥️🐉

played since beta and had my fun from like 2016-2019. missed a summer skin bc a match took a hair too long, and it irritated me so much that I took a break and never went back

the bugs were funny and arven is my best friend :)

for higashi only (all jokes aside, the combat felt fucky but i was just glad to have gotten it done)

given that kiryu as a character means so much to me, ofc i wanted to experience such an important change in his life when i was doing my series playthrough. technically speaking, it wasn’t pleasant and the game definitely took its time, but it is what it is. there was also a lot narratively that was par for the course in the series overall, but rikiya dying was still shitty. 😭

a lot to like, a lot to be critical of. the way of life was a fantastic boss theme that, bc it felt way too grand for a guy like iwami, I understand why some consider it kiryu’s rage theme

my introduction to the franchise, special place in my heart ☁️

i wore this game OUT, it’s by far my favorite. played constantly during my freshman year of college, and i’m glad it’s what I remember most from then lol. ghetsis’s theme goes so hard

another comfort game…even just thinking of the announcer going, “𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗢𝗙 𝗜𝗥𝗢𝗡 𝗙𝗜𝗦𝗧 𝗧𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗡𝗔𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗙𝗜𝗩𝗘” makes me smile
