Anyone who has played Persona and looking to play something similar kind ; then you should definitely try this game. Story is good and gameplay is same as P5R.

Anyone who has played Persona and looking to play something similar kind ; then you should definitely try this game. Story is good and gameplay is same as P5R. It's a good game, but I always felt it was Persona - Wannabe after Persona 5's phenomenal success. Story-wise and character-wise, frankly, other Yakuza games themselves have done far better (Namely Yakuza 0 and Yakuza 5), and I would rate Persona 5's story, characters and villains far above this. Nothing comes close to the vileness displayed by Kamoshida, Futaba's Trauma and so much more (Not to mention the friendships and Confidant Bonding) in this game. Confidant Conversations and Romances are also unnecessary and badly implemented here - unlike in Persona 5 where each interaction was carefully planned out and written in an amazing way to tell the proper story of a character. It's a good game, but don't raise people's hopes that it's close to Persona 5. It's not and if people go in with that expectation - they will be disappointed. I would rate this story close to Yakuza 1/Kiwami 1, considering that it follows so many of the exact same story beats. Good, but nowhere near the best of what even the Yakuza Team can do.

Haha, yeah obviously. Persona 5 is the benchmark setter. This game just follows that style like you mentioned wanna be. That’s what I meant. But I am myself being a persona fan I can relate so much of persona style in this game. Humor, Emotions, dialogues and other twists and turns and other small things. And obviously it can’t reach the heights of yakuza 0 (from story perspective and characters... Kiryu kills everything) but this is still a great game. I am thinking of playing it second time New Game+ with different Jobs. And once you play this game you can’t go back to older yakuza games because they will feel outdated. And to be honest I liked this game more than FF7 Remake. Edited March 4, 2021 by GameAnalyzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the heck is Soul Patch? Anyway, Ichiban is a great protagonist. Love how they make the effort to distinguish each character, and also justify the turn based gameplay on the story. Ichiban is delusional and mad himself (In a different way than Majima - not spoilers btw). It's great. @Madmage This game, unfortunately does not hold a candle to Yakuza's finest story-wise (Yakuza 0 and Yakuza 5), but it sets up the story for the new series nicely. The entire game is a set up for future Ichiban games IMO. Edited June 24, 2021 by roun90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH you should have played 0 first. Y0 is the perfect introduction to the Yakuza series. This game is not. This is simply because this game serves as the conclusion to the Tojo Clan story-line, at the end chapters (Tojo Clan is the major criminal syndicate which is involved in the stories of Yakuza 0 - 6). If you ask me, I would have recommended playing this game after playing Yakuza 6, since this game also serves as Y6's sequel + the final epilogue to Kiryu (The OG protagonist) and Tojo Clan story. There are chances you will be confused, especially post Chapter 12. @Mr. Comingle Did you finish Yakuza 6 yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least see a story summary of Yakuza 6 before playing Like a Dragon. The late-mid to end parts of the game act as a sequel to Yakuza 6, and you will be very confused if you've not played it.
