Kircheis 11/15/23 8:29:00 AM #19:	3 is still worth playing just for the final boss, legitimately top tier Yakuza fight. I also actually liked the orphanage segments of the game, felt really nice to see Kiryu just living his best life for a while. Sadly, the plot itself is a little bit bonkers, and doesn't have as much relevance to later games in the series, so for that reason alone I'll have to admit it's the most skippable. Still worth playing though imo. 4 should literally never be skipped, that's the one where Akiyama is actually fun to play. That beautiful man seriously deserves his own game. --- Kratos will choke this point avatar by Hambo the Hog. <cite>Kircheis posted [p:977225208] in Which Yaku...

I mean...Daigo is a rather important character in the series though...if anything I feel 4 is less important. 4 introduces two new main characters that were not only playable, but remain important figures for several games afterwards. Maybe from a Kiryu perspective it's not as important, but I think it's critical for the series. I see your argument for Daigo though. His relationship for Kiryu does shape the entire rest of the Tojo Clan's arc. It's a tough call. They are all pretty important to me. I know people dislike 3, but I think it's so important to the entire PS3 and beyond series. It establishes Morning Glory, which serves as a driving force behind the series to this day.

Saejima's hunting though, that I actually kinda liked. No overexposed pop music, just him, his rifle, and winter ambiance while calmly and methodically hunting wildlife. Helps that by the time you finish his part you'll have Herculean Spirit and Tiger Dragon Drop so you can just return to monke for the rest of his fights. --- Kratos will choke this point avatar by Hambo the Hog. <cite>Kircheis posted [p:977229098] in Which Yaku...

boxoto 11/15/23 9:27:18 PM #45:	as someone who disliked Yakuzas 3-5, Y5 especially felt like mostly irrelevant, bloated trash. I haven't played Y6, so I can't comment on how much it was affected by its predecessor, but from LaD, I can't remember anything from Y5 being referenced or alluded to. but tbf, I guess you can treat the games as chapters of a person's life, so they're written in a way you can jump into any one, and if you want some context/lore, you can play the title(s) that came before it, so each title is as important/skippable as the next. --- Don't you agree, Zach? https://streamable.com/enq4r7 <cite>boxoto posted [p:977237551] in Which Yaku...

CyricZ 11/16/23 2:41:29 PM #47:	If we were honestly going to ask the question of which game in the series (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Gaiden, 8) has the least to contribute to the greater narrative, the answer would in fact actually be 0, and I'm kinda surprised someone did in fact mention it in the topic. It is its own self-contained narrative, and the fallout from it is nothing that isn't already explained in 1. Curse of being a prequel and all. The only counterpoint to that would be the attention it gives Majima, but if you look at the series as a whole, Majima isn't really that prominent of a character anyway, despite his popularity. Which is kinda funny, because 0 would be the game that from my own perspective I'd say is the last one you should skip from a general sense, given its overall quality. 5 does contend, though. Except it introduces Watase who ends up being important in later games. With the way Gaiden is going, I wonder if the answer will end up being 6, lol. >_> But really, if you're invested in the series, don't skip any games. They all have something to offer. And if you're not invested in the series, play which ones you want to play, skip around all you want, and let no one tell you otherwise. --- CyricZ He/him http://twitch.tv/cyricz42 <cite>CyricZ posted [p:977248986] in Which Yaku...
