You will inevitably start to feel bored. You will walk from pointless conversation to pointless conversation. You will read and read and read while character models stare at each other lifelessly. You will do the same unchallenging fights hundreds of times over where enemies pose no threat. You will stare at cutscenes that play out in the slowest way possible. You'll tell yourself the story has gripped you while trying to ignore how badly written it is.
You will wonder why Zig Forums and various ecelebs hyped up this series, and begin telling yourself that YOU must be wrong, not them. You'll tell yourself it's good just to feel a part of something.

That's what you're in for.

Sold all my yakuza games to buy persona 5 royal and the pokemon mystery dungeon remake lmao

bro, I bought judgment and got bored of it in 4 chapters because it was exactly this. before i got bored and I still liked it, I bought ALL THE FUCKING YAKUZA GAMES AND YOU'RE TELLING ME THEY'RE ALL LIKE THIS TOO?

You played on Easy Mode didn't you?

>As a whole, Yokoyama focuses on building sympathetic, charming characters and making cool scenes, and only decides the culprit at the very end in the writing process, with a focus on who would be the most interresting to fight as a final boss. Yokoyama himself doesn't read novels and has no training in script writing, and is mostly inspired by visual mediums like film and TV shows. For the first two Yakuza games, crime novelist Hase Seishu was an editor of Yokoyamas scripts. He heavily critiqued the first draft, suggesting that it lacks realism, so Yokoyama did further reseach and adjusted the script in his own way.

Not him but come on user let's not kid ourselves. Yakuza games are a cakewalk on any difficulty. You can carry infinite heals for fuck sake. Which you use by PAUSING fights.

Every "difficult" boss can be easily cheesed and that's what most people do because the combat is comically poor, making every fight effortless or rock solid bullshit.
