I'm about to beat Yakuza 7 and it's a bummer, but luckily 3, 4, and 5 are coming to gamepass in January and 6 after so I'll be able to pick up again soon.

Okay it’s taken ten chapters but the story is really kicking into overdrive in Y7. So much to do.

The best side stories are the ones that end with this music

My favorite sub story was Kiryu accidentally introducing consumption tax to some guy in a bar and then doing the FFFFFUUUUU face when my favorite Japanese dollar store closed down irl because of it.

Not sure if you make money of Cabaret but it is still a lot of fun. And yes clan creator is next.

I think I have broken Y7 with a move that involves an office worker throwing thumbtacks at groups of clustered enemies. Owns.

I didn’t notice any difference in localization quality between them and 0/K/K2, no idea what the complaint is supposed to be

some side-story stuff was re-written with borderlands style writing is what i've heard

I don’t remember anything like that. The retranslations are fine and bring them in line with the rest of the releases.

I guess I missed that substory but there’s nothing else like it in any of the games. I’d guess that one character is probably supposed to be annoying because that kind of Borderlands writing definitely would have infected the rest of the games otherwise

Beat Y7 a few days ago.... still going through yakuza withdrawal and looking for a new good single player game. Y7 is my GOTY. I definitely will replay it at some point as I feel like there's a lot to explore on hard mode and by trying a lot of the classes I ignored + side quests and part time hero. I'm not gonna replay right now though because 3,4 and 5 are dropping on gamepass soon and I don't want to get burnout.

It’s a shame that switching jobs appears to incur such a penalty on stats as I really want to try others but don’t want to have to grind battle arena to get them up to scratch.

My only main complaint is that (and this is likely a nod to JRPGs on purpose) is that there are one or two mechanics that are hidden and there appears to be little indication in game on how they work. For example if Kasuga has the foreman job, he can use a skill in free roam that breaks barriers in front of some shops (becoming secret shops) and in dungeons to open new paths. I found that out by accident when googling something else.
