ive been wanting to get into the yakuza series for years now, but alas i only got into it only rn because i am a lazy bum who puts off things!!
i ALMOST started with 7 as i thought it would be a nice segwat for me, since i like rpg combat a little better, and the story is kind of a spinoff from the main yakuza games,
was also a bit familiar with the story and liked it as i watched a bit of snapcube's playtough, but i backed off at the last second and downloaded 0 instead because........because
i was curious about kazumaji yaoi..............IN RETROSPECT 0 is not a good game to fujo out to as they dont particularly meet at all but im still glad i picked it up because i am
HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE!!!!! FUUUUCKKK ITS SO GOOD!!!!!!!! AUGHHHH WHY DID I JUST ONLY NOW PICK IT UP?! AM I STUPID?!?!?! i KNOW in my heart of hearts that i ADORE games that i
can just walk around in open/semi-open worlds and bullshit around, my favorite past time as a child was to dilly dally in gta san anreas and im surprised that when you combine that
with dumb ass minigames i can waste my lifes time on and a compelling storyline with amazing characters and two sexy little protagonists i can rotate around in my mind?? THIS IS PEAK!!!!!
15/2/25: (current chapter: 17!! finsihed!!) HEY GUYS IFINISHED THIS GAME HAHA *wiping barely disguised tears from face* its currently 11 pm in colombia rn as of writing and i.
have just experienced peak. HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK im going to frow up that was so beautiful, i dont have any of the correct words to like, write a review because everything
i wanna say has been probably said already and better, but i still have thoughts so here
general thoughts:
so like, ive already said i love the gameplay loop of course, i like running around kamurocho and sotenboriand having fun and plaiyng :) yay! i love the minigames of course who doenst
love karaoke, but i also really loved the combat which is a thing i was genuinely lowkey worried abt, i almost picked to play 7 first even if it wads like out of order becoz im a turn
based girly im not good at making desitions in real time but i surprisingly had so much fun with it, i played in
easy mode
because im a little pussy boy but i had a lotta fun still, breaker style my fucking beloved. the story was really REALLY GOOD like obviously the standout is maji and makotos story, but
kiryus was also really fun even if i had a teensy bit of trouble followiing all the """thecnical""" yakuza speek, im more into interpersonal conflic which i got in the form of the beloved
nishkiryu.......its kinda funny that i got into it because of kazumaji (whicjh i dont doubt ill like once i play kwami ofc) but i ended up liking nishikiryu a lot (also if ur a
yakuzahead and ur like "does she know" YES I KNOW!! its imposible to look at yaku content online and not lightly know, 10 years in the joint etc etc). also touching upon it i love the
protaaaags ofcourse i love kiryu hes like a small innocent woodland animal to me. and yeah if youve had the fortune of being my close friend these past weeks (ily) you will know that
*jerma ripping off shirt mexico gif* I LOVE MAJIMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i love him i love him it was not on my fucking radar that i would love him
but i saw him on his intro and
III I JUST DIED IN YOUR ARMS TONIGHTTT auduihgdsuhhsauAIJDHUIGDY I LOVE HIOM SOMAUCH
i need him i need him to do unspeakables to me i love him hes so cool and awesome and strooongg and sooo cool like so badass but hes also so capable to be sooo nice like hes so awesome
and so gentle sometimes with like makotooo and in some substories and hes also such a goof and hes so silly i love his screeches i love when you spin in breaker style he goes YAHOOOO
it reminds me of usagi friom chiikawa HES SO SILLY i need him i need him hes my new boyfriend and hes MINE SO BACK OFF I SAID BACK OFF. hes the only thing ive been able to draw hes like
my greek muse and im like a sculptor making statues for the church or something and i base my depictions if christ on him as a reference. i need to lick him
spoiler thoughts:
okay so like i ofc love dthe story, im like i have no idea about anything yakuzsa ever ever so like this was an amazing introduction to me, i loved the oda and tachibana
doomed YAOIIIII AUGHHH its so good like fuck you fym your death wish is to tell him that you fucking HONNESTLY LOVED HIM. IM GONNA KILL IM SRS. also i deadass didnt expect shibuzawa
to be the final boss, my little shonen ass was like expecting for kiryu to like climb the ladder and fight the 3 evil guys and then the final boss was gonna be dojima himself?
im happy with how the ending opanned out tho i think that like a non boss fight was a good option to like serve that evil man right. anyways...makoto huh...yeah. YEAH UGH i im so
AGHHH SHAKES THE SCREEN im i love her i think shes so awesome i wasnt expecting to like her at all tho, im not usually a fan of broken bird characters, yk thosn usually female
characters who just have piles upon piles of trauma? usually in stories they just serve as like pity points and like savior complex moments, but like she grows as a characyer to
be independent not after her protectors are harmed or anything, but when her brother dies, her whole reason to like go on this insane journey shes been on. after that she finally
like, gains that independance and she does goof up but she finally made desitions for herself and fucking, regardless of her trauma shes able to keep going idk she reminds me of anthy in a way IDK HELO. idk man also i liked that theyfucking didnt make her regain her sight fully immediately,
it probably just served as like, plot explanations on why her and maji wouldnt keep contact because she doesnt recognize him at all. but also idk its nice that when shes able to
make her biggest desitions in the story its not because shes magically cured, i dont know anything about pathologic blindness so idk how good the rep is there but like. its nice
she didnt just disney princess style regain vision. cant wait for her to appear in pirate yakuza and slap maji and be like this is for not keeping contact andthen kiss him and
be like and this is for saving my life JDHUYTFUYDH JKJK
ok anywayds i loved this game and kwami 1 is in process of installing rn so get ready fotr me to be annoiyyyyynggg :))) im gonna probably still play a bit of 0 especially cabaret czar
because its fun (yeah i didnt fucking unlock either legend style idc) but im gonna delve deeper into brainrot yay!
FINAL VEREDICT:
13/2/25: (current chapter: 12) yesterday i had what i can only describe as a "reasonable crashout" because i spent deadass 1 hour grinding the cabaret czar minigame so i could
finally beat club mars and get my second platinum hostess but like when i finally did i took a screenshot to celebrate and my game. FUCKING. CRASHED!!!!!! i was already having a
kina tough day i cried over
another game, and i did my best to surpress the tears because it was dumb it i ended up crashing out so hard i cried for like
a solid 10 minutes before pulling myself together.
also i made this the other day
9/2/25: (current chapter: 8) ok i lied i didnt actually play today i was busy coding this bad little boy but i am fucking abt this gay little game. i thuink i may like majima like. like carnally
like what is haPPENING TO MEEEEEEEEEE. AUGH.........like when he did the choking heat move for the first time and that like one flash of a second where he smiles before he like
fucking goes in and chokes the person i was like i thuink i havue covuid FUCK ME. also his relationship with makoto makes me blush so hard like im a teenage girl watching a fucking.
romance drama SHGFJHDGFHSHUT UP. man im like my first log and im already like fucking airing my thirsts into the world. i dont even know about that you keep that to yourself! AUIUSGUYD
