an ambitious project that gets lost within itself at times. was confused by some of the characters decisions and as expected they did not kill the character we spent the entire game making say goodbye to everyone? story wise its weaker than 7, but gameplay wise its much better. liked it a lot! i think.? gonna take my time and decide what i really think of it
first game i ever played for real, i think? i was like 10 and this was groundbreaking to me. still holds a special place in my heart
my favorite kiryu game by a LONG shot. totally did him justice and its so much fun

a bob and a dream
this game has been living in my head rent free ever since i found out about it a couple of years ago. i refused to finish it for so long because i simply adored exploring the little town and its secrets. each journal and discovery had me questioning everything and everyone, and the atmosphere is just perfect. i also unexpectedly got very attached to the characters, considering that we never outwright interact with them, which is so interesting. a very simple but effective game. love it.
one of the most compelling stories i've had the pleasure of experiencing. what a rollercoaster of emotions. the moments where you're travelling alone were just as great as the story. cried like a baby everytime i finished it. RIP to my horse Midnight.

cute!! had lots of fun
i love the batmobile i don't careeee
looooove a good gossip
one of my favorite games EVER. my first ever turn based game and i love it so much, the characters are so amazing and charismatic, i absolutely love ichiban and his party. i've replayed it many times and i always go back to it when i can. i love the gameplay sooo much and how it adds to the story. speaking of story, it's perfect. i love it so much. so much going on but at the same time the pacing is great and it didn't tire me out at all. love the minigames so much and the substories, i had so much fun. it's an uplifting story with great gameplay if you're into that stuff.

this fucking game. i wish it didn't exist. gameplay is whatever i don't care, aside from nerfing tiger drop and a few other annoying stuff that didn't need to happen but they did it anyway just because. i hate the story with a burning passion. it took me so long to finish it and it's the yakuza game i spent the least time playing. that ending pissed me off so bad. like shut the hell up of course he didn't die. just bad. minigame wise i don't know didn't play them. substory wise i also did not play, because i couldn't stand playing that game for more time than i needed to. the half star goes strictly to the soundtrack and soundtrack ONLY. it rocks.
my biggest ick is why the hell would they present a whole new cast of supporting characters, that suck ass btw, in kiryus supposed "goodbye" story. i knew he wasn't gonna die because thats stupid as fuck to do and would be so lackluster. i mean, it IS lackluster, they don't have the balls to commit to the bit and off him for good. they did it like 4 times. its almost insulting. i couldn't tell you what happens in the story aside from that because it also sucked. only reason this game isn't completely forgettable is because it pissed me off so much everytime i think about it gives me a headache. unfortunately i care so much for this series, that game actually broke my heart by being so bad. the baby is cute i guess.
