Surprised this thread wasnā€™t more active after Yakuza 7 came out. I just beat the game on Friday after something like 80 hours, more hours than I beat Y0 with. Overall, it was an amazing experience and one of the best Yakuza games to date, although I think Y0 is still the best overall Yakuza game Iā€™ve played so far. Ichiban is a great new main character, and Iā€™m interested where they take the series from here.

How about you, my fellow Yakuzers?

I was posting about it in the VGG thread, and I absolutely loved the game.

The bossfights kicked my ass since I had to take attacks, and mitigation was the name of the game due to it being turn-based. I did do some grinding, but it was more about using the your toolkit than anything else. Once I remembered I had items to boost evasion and defense, it was more manageable.

The last boss fight was awesome, but took my soul. Iā€™ll be doing a new game plus at some point though. The characters, themes and story were great. I had the game beat at 90 hours, but over wrote the save so Iā€™m at 93 hours currently. I enjoy just meandering around and this is no different. Iā€™ll be unlocking all the moves for the jobs I like and for the characters I see fit. I wonā€™t be unlocking everything for every character, since thatā€™ll be redundant for me.

The only complaint I can agree on with the game is the boss fights not feeling as epic as the Kiryu saga because of the team aspect. I loved the callbacks to previous Yakuza titles and Judgment. I marked out several times throughout the game when I saw people and references from them.

The enemies had me cracking up as did their attacks and the name of the attacks. I didnā€™t unlock the all the substories, but I will on NG+. Iā€™ll also be bonding with Eri in NG+ as well as digging into business managment proper. I thought I was going to go hard in it on the first playthrough, but I had to see what was next.

This, the remastered collection and SOR4 were the highlights for me this year with Animal Crossing and Ghosts of Tsushima behind them.

I started a Legend run in Yakuza 0, and this time Iā€™m unlocking all the moves and doing the side games proper, now that I have the Kiryu saga completed so the call backs will actually hit this time.
