Wow what a finale that was. Ending was bad in the worst cliff-hanger bad kinda way but I played Y6 right after so I'm ok with it. I still have mini-games and some other side stuff that I need to clean up but I'll get back to it after Yakuza 6. I'll then play 0 again and come back to 3 (ugh), 4, 5 for 100% completion (or as close as I can possibly get). Then I guess hopefully Like a Dragon will have released on the PS5 so I can finish off the series with the proper respect that it deserves if not I will just settle on my PS4 version.

Anyway. 5 is definitely my 2nd favorite game in the series. If not for its at times atrocious pacing and the almost unnecessary 5th character (could have used this time to flesh out Kiryu and Saejima's plot instead or maybe have Goro be one of the playable characters, which feels like such a missed opportunity in hindsight) , this could have reached 0's heights if not outright surpassed it. I would say Y5 is one of those games which prove to be such a memorable experience but with it's fair share of flaws and unnecessary fat dragging it down.

Series ranking so far
0 > 5 > Kiwami 2 > Kiwami 1 > 4 > 3
