Story is a bit weird, in that it starts off with a serious plot, then it kinda just...stops for many chapters. It eventually gets back into it, but I'm on Chapter 8 and it's just now starting to get back into the original plot linking up with what is going on. When the main plot stops it isn't bad, it just shifts to a whole new goal and life, which makes perfect sense.

The characters are awesome. Ichiban Kasuga is so damn likeable. His main party that actually gets development (you can get extra party members but they rarely get any exposure or dialogue) are also all really well done. You can learn more about them as you level up their affection levels, up to 5 levels, which unlocks some small perks and extra scenes and a side story for each.

Ichiban is a bundle of optimism and joy and I love him.

I will say that its caliber of writing is more or less on par with the other games in the Yakuza series. You're rarely going to be blown away by revelations. Like it's not 13 Sentinels or anything like that.

It's a melodramatic crime story with a focus on duty and family.

Ichiban has more development in LAD than Kiryu does across the whole series

I like the story and Ichiban is a great character. I just don't understand why he never fixed his hair. It's so ugly lol.

No, not really. Ichiban's story is his own. Yes, there are references made to previous games, but if you don't know, then you won't know anyway.

Thinking the same. Going to Wal-Mart to grab stuff for a "party" tomorrow and might grab it too

I'm nearing the end and there are a couple of parts lately where I don't think they'd work as well if I hadn't already played 0 (and tbh I wish I'd played more). But you definitely won't feel lost.
