Zum Glück bin ich ja Königskind und habe einen Privaten Teich mit Goldapfel. Habe daher den Apfelladen besucht, jedoch keine beschriebene Unendlichkeit vorgefunden und fühle mich jetzt ein bisschen veralbert. Zu eurem Pech benutze ich aber schon seid(t) Ewigkeiten (4 Wochen) eine Anwendung die Mammi, ich meine Memmy heisst und die ist ganz gross…fast so gut wie der bartlose junge Pöbelsohn von Zeus. Aber den kannten nur goldene Apfelteichbesitzer.
Früher, als ich noch im alten Teepot wohnte und auch nur einen Androiden hatte, da gab es noch Schinkenleser. Der war auch Hammer. Gibt es die auch noch?
Absolute bravery. Though I use runit for booting multiple things inside a docker container because fuck all that multi container lark just to get nginx and a php and a node going.
This is a great entrypoint to the series. The main cast is all new (though there are of course several references throughout the story for long-time fans). The gameplay is new (turn-based instead of brawler). I believe this is also the first Yakuza since the original Y1 to have a full English dub if that’s you’re thing.
LaD is a fantastic game that I recommend to anybody. Just know that it is much goofier than persona (especially the side content). Happy to answer any questions you might have.
i disagree, since it’s the only one that’s a turn based game. I’d start with either Yakuza 0, the prequel, or Yakuza kiwami, which is a remake of the first game
The Persona games, while all existing in the same universe and sharing many play mechanics are largely standalone. You can pick up and play any of them and not miss anything storywise by not playing the others. That said each subsequent game adds certain QoL features which, once gotten used to you'd be hard-pressed to play without. I've played 3, 4, and 5, in that order and I would recommend the same to anyone looking to get into the series.
The Yakuza series on the other hand all follow a set timeline, and though each game has its own plot they all exist in an evolving overall world. They should be played in order, at least 1-6. Zero is a prequel though it was made around the same time as 5. As such it has several references to future events which are not really spoilery, but without playing the other games you won't necessarily get them. But they are not vital to the plot and the game can be enjoyed first. That's what I did and never felt like I was missing out on anything. 7 is a new start for the series and while taking place in the same world and featuring guest stars from other games it is not closely tied to the other games in the series. Personally, 7 is my favorite of the bunch with Zero a close second.
For persona, start with 5. 3, 4 and 5 all take place within the same universe but the stories are not connected. The gameplay is at its most polished with 5.
I think persona 5 (if you can get the “royale” version) is the best to start playing persona, you don’t need to play the previous one to enjoy that game
Have to agree there. It’s very newcomer friendly, even without using the bonus Personas the game gives you.
Also want to recommend Dragon Quest 11. While it has plenty of nods to the older titles, you don’t need to know them to enjoy the meat of the game, and it’s as traditional as they come while being a genuinely fun romp.
Like a Dragon (Yakuza 7) is the only Yakuza game, to date, that’s a JRPG. At least in the way most people think of JRPG (turn based combat).
They’re all great games, just wanted to point out that only the one, so far, is a turn-based JRPG.
I think it would probably make for a great first JRPG experience. Persona 5 is pretty accessible, but it’s very anime and tropey. That said, I’m not a fan of anime and absolutely loved the game. Either would be a great starting point.
You’re in luck because 7 just happens to be a reboot (of sorts) with an entirely new protagonist, cast of secondary characters as well as gameplay. Even its setting and crime organizations steer away (mostly) from the previous conflicts of the Kamurocho red light district.
Yakuza also has the an advantage (IMO) that its “how anime bullshit is this anime?” is fairly low. The characters are actual adults, dealing with (mostly) relatable to real life issues, and even the stories that are far out there (such as fighting a giant roomba) are not very egregious.
I certainly prefer the series as a whole than Persona, which I admit is an unpopular take. If you’re ever curious about doing a deep dive, 0 is also very welcoming and its the (now canon) beginning of the previous series.
note: philippines dont have this, only either yellow or red, or yellow with black stripes or just stock default concrete skin (un-painted) or theme town/city color (avenue specific in zamboanga del sur & zamboanga sibugay , idk in zamboanga del norte)
