It's a mini-series like Tales of the Jedi, and like Tales of the Jedi, focuses on two characters, six episodes, fifteen minutes each.

The first three episodes are about Morgan Elsbeth, who was in Mandalorian and Ahsoka, and the latter three on Barriss Offee, of Clone Wars fame.

It's good, ends pretty strong actually, and it won't take a lot of your day. :)

What would you say to people who feel that "Black Lives Matter" means "Kill All the Whites"?

Well it was a good finale. Solid 7/10.

So weird. I mean, the characters are all enjoyable.

Maybe I just feel that what needed to be said about clones had already been said in TCW, and this series was kind of going over those themes again.

I didn't know but as soon as I saw that goofy costume I thought "that's Rob Liefeld isn't it".

And sure enough.

Bad Batch is a good show, but it's not "OH MY GOD YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS" good. It's just... y'know... regular good? Honestly I have a hard time qualifying it.

God I really hope I'm alive to see the post "men believe they can with random women" time.

They're ending after three seasons. Gonna get emotional.

Just in case anyone wants to know when it's good to binge.

Am I literally the first person mentioning The Trent in This Topic?

Thank you.

That said. Do they get more interesting? My limited experience makes me believe that they are likely to be a lot worse than Y0 and Y7/IW

Haaa... well most of them are pulled straight from Yakuza 1, where they were not interesting at all.

There are about ten or so that are brand new, as I recall, and are up to similar standards as 0's.

Also Judgment and Lost Judgment are 60% off.

rank them TC, then link your guides to the steam community forums

No and also no.

40 bucks for seven giant games.

Who are you to resist it.

If you're looking for substories in Kiwami, get some Completion Points and give them to Bob at the south end of Tenakichi St. for the "Trouble Finder" accessory.

I played Like a Dragon first, and found it to be an excellent introduction to the series.

This is also valid.

Don't get me wrong. 0 is my first choice, but there are other good choices for where to start the series. Heck, I started at 4.

The "most correct" answer is to time travel back to 2005 so you can play every game in order as it comes out so you don't get burnout.

Yes, 0 has sly reference to future games, and a lot of people got a lot of emotions given how certain established characters are "different" in 0, but personally, I think it's fascinating to see people who started with these characters in 0, then learn what they become later. It's still a valid experience.

don't play Yakuza games back to back

This is different for everyone. Some people are demons. I usually don't tell people this because we're all adults and know what we can personally handle.

I've beaten all of them going K1 > 0 > K2 ... 7, and K1 was by far my least favorite due to just how awful some of the boss fights are. The penultimate fight is the worst in the series, I hated it that much.

You are typing these words out and in the previous breath trying to convince new players to start with it.

I know of people who started the series with Kiwami and stopped because of the Chapter 3 boss fight and how they couldn't get through it.

You have to get out of the mindset of someone who believes everyone is just guaranteed to play every game in a series. Very few people have that kind of time.

Some people start with 0 and skip to 7. Some people literally play 0 and stop, and that's fine, so long as they get to experience some of the best the series has to offer.

Don't recommend people start a series at the worst game to "just get it over with" because these games are LARGE GAMES.

Question your own motives if you feel telling someone "start with the worst game in the series" is a good idea.

(It's not even the worst, IMO, and even then "worst" in terms of this series is a matter of 7/10.)

The chronological order of the main series is:

Yakuza 0
Yakuza Kiwami (a remake of the first game)
Yakuza Kiwami 2 (a remake of the second game)
Yakuza 3
Yakuza 4
Yakuza 5
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life
Yakuza: Like a Dragon
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

How does Like a Dragon fit in it?

"Like a Dragon" is the current series name in the west. It's just replacing the series title. In Japan, the series has always been known as "Like a Dragon".

Are there spinoffs?

Yes. First, there is the Judgment series of two games.

• Judgment takes place after Yakuza 6 but references very little from that game.
• Lost Judgment takes place after Yakuza: Like a Dragon and references an unavoidable plot point from that game, but it's not remotely the biggest spoiler of that game.

Honestly the Judgment series can be a good entry point to the series if you want a more modern game to start with.

There's also Yakuza: Dead Souls, a tough-to-get spinoff from the PS3 which is set between Yakuza 4 and Yakuza 5 but is non-canon and is about zombies. Don't worry about that one until you're WAY deep into the series.

There are also some entirely unrelated spinoffs:
Like a Dragon Ishin! is a spinoff set in the 1800's where you play as historical characters that have faces from the main series.

Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise is another spinoff only available on the PS4 which is ostensibly just a Fist of the North Star game in the Yakuza style, only many of the characters in the game use Yakuza series voice actors.

Do I really need to learn that tiles game whateveritisnamed that had a manga with SSJ Hitler?

Mahjong is a fun game and if you want to learn how to play I can teach you. If you want to teach yourself, check out Mahjong Soul as it has a decent tutorial.

Is GamePass missing any game?

I don't think so, but granted I'm not on GamePass so I can't confirm. There was a time where some of the games dropped off GamePass but they might be back on?

Yo shout-outs to hose guy. Damn.

Meanwhile the gender-criticals would have you believe that men are always the problem and women are eternally innocent.

Wow it's so nice that all the refugees from other social boards are here now to discuss Politics really feels like seven years ago all over again.

I don't ced can even pull his guides even if he wanted to nobody's guides on this site legally belongs to them

Neither of those are true. All my guides but one are my own and I remain the legal owner of my work. This was what GameFAQs was foundationally built upon, and that has yet to change, and we will know if it does.

I can choose to destroy my own life's work at any time.

But given the gravity of that last sentence, I'm exercising my own right to be cautious and not reactive, because it is MY life's work and one thing I won't suffer is people trying to use me and leveraging my work as revenge for the boards being gutted.

I dreamed I was streaming and then my dad showed up and hung out on my stream but didn't like... say anything? It was weird.

I think the combat in the Judgement games is my favorite in the series.

That's basically a function of it being some of their latest in action combat, particularly when it comes to the Dragon Engine. Yakuza 6 and Kiwami 2 were rough on action combat, and then it seems they kinda "got it" when they moved on to Judgment, then Lost Judgment, then Like a Dragon Gaiden which is also fun and awesome.
