g0ldie 06/26/22 8:16:03 PM #2:	this is the only game in the series (so far) that has turn-based combat. the side-content is pretty similar to the others, though. anyway, if you plan to play any of the others, this one kinda spoils Y6, iirc. --- https://imgur.com/gallery/noqoWTm <cite>g0ldie posted [p:966132199] in Playing my...

I thought this is basically Yakuza 7? yup. if you're not really interested in playing the others, it's a good enough entry point, since it focuses on a different protagonist, and mostly new characters. --- https://imgur.com/gallery/noqoWTm <cite>g0ldie posted [p:966132359] in Playing my...

ellis123 06/26/22 8:24:40 PM #13:	DespondentDeity posted... I thought this is basically Yakuza 7? It is story-wise. Gameplay-wise it's a DQ clone set in a Yakuza experience (all of the gameplay outside of the battling is very Yakuza). DarkRoast posted... I don't know how it manages to maintain both an incredibly silly attitude while also having a surprisingly heartfelt story Not all of them do that. That's more something that happens 3 forwards and you can definitely feel the experimentation if you do them in order. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?
