Yeah they're usually pretty frontloaded with cutscenes. Y7 is particularly frontloaded though IIRC.

Yep. The series is known for it's serious crime drama story and it's silly side stories. It's a hilarious juxtaposition

The first like four or five chapters are always heavy heavy. The rest of the game is just mildly heavy until the finale which is heavy heavy again.

As others said, Y7 is a little heavier than others. 10/10 games tho.

Dude might be the wisest person in the game.

Ichiban really does turn out to be a great character. Can't wait for Y8.

too much melodrama is why i'll never be into the series and it's not even the good/fun kind like MGS or whatever.

It's better good/fun melodrama than MGS by a country mile TBQH

not necessarily, since it features new characters (for the most part), but if you do plan on playing any of the earlier ones, it does spoil some of Y6.

It's not as bad as say metal gear solid series which aprt from 5 has like 5 minutes of gameplay persection usually
but it is a heavy movie game but the side content breaks it up

It sorta spoils some world building overall, but it's not entirely necessary. You'll probably want to play or read up on the rest of them before Y7.5 and Y8, though.

LaD was my first and led to me playing through the whole series. It has a lot of moments that will be obvious fanservice that you may not necessarily get (but will definitely be able to tell it's fan service) but I didnt feel like it really spoiled anything for me

Yeah there's not any absolute direct spoilers, just the world building since a major plot point of the game effects the entire yakuza game world.

I think 7 has close to the most amount of cutscenes just after 6.

I like how corny it sort of is sometimes. Like in Kiwami 2 when Sayama was racing against the hacker by just hitting the keys faster, and they were in awe of it.

I like 6 more than most people, but fucking hell with the cutscenes sometimes.

i love 6 minus well .. yknow .. the big secret. But I also acknowledge it being a big cultural thing and look past it cause the awesome gameplay.

The Yakuza series is just so very Japanese that I don't see how people would ever use the English dub. It's like playing Gears Of War in with a Japanese dub, just feels off.
