On ch12 of 7 so far, it's decent

Idk where my ranking stands in the yak community. I assume ppl who like Yak and aren't me lack taste, and they will find my ranking abhorrent

Kiryu is fucking terrifying in 6. It's so hot. Can't wait to finish 7 so I can replay 6

What about 6 puts it at the top for you?

Best supporting cast

Best nonsense writing/twists

Kiryu finally acknowledging he is an unopposed, unfathomably-stronger-than-everyone tank

Kiryu being scary as fuck. So many scowls in that one

Little Baby Iwami

Lack of Haruka

Awesome new town

Ono michio-kun

IMO:

good - Yakuza & Yakuza 2

felt meh about - Yakuza 0 & Yakuza: Like a Dragon (I actually liked this until chapter 12, then a bunch of gameplay and story related stuff ended up annoying me).

didn't like - Yakuzas 3-5

I haven't played Y6 or the Kiwamis yet, but I copped them for really cheap during a sale, so I'll give them a go one of these days.

Yakuza 5 made me realize how much I hated Haruka, and didn't care about her storyline.

Yeah okay. I can see that.

I put it on my lower tier because I like Haruka and I think 6 did her real dirty.

Haven't played 6 yet but K2 is easily my top.

K2 > 0 > 3 > 4 > 5 > K1

5 is when I finally tapped out. It's just too much. 4 the story was absolutely nonsense and I didn't like how it felt like a bunch of small stories bundled together. I prefer having one character to follow through with.

Haruka is a stupid, awful, no-good character

Her gameplay segments in 5 were the best thing about the game tho (minus the final boss)

Really enjoyed the series. Except for 3.

I also like it as a turn based RPG.

I do like 7 but like...the power fantasy aspect is the whole thing for me. That's removed in a JRPG

She didn't have to be, is my point.

on one hand, her idol stuff broke up the constant combat, but on the other, I couldn't really connect with her, so I didn't really care if she succeeded or not.

It woulda been weird for that to suddenly not be the case in 6

But fr I was just reaffirming what goldie said, not trying to knock her to her fans

I specifically liked Haruka more in 1 and 2. When she was a street-smart kid who helps keep Kiryu grounded.

Along the way she kinda became more of a mush morality pet that doesn't really get any kind of agency as she grows, even when we're controlling her in 5. And 6 just completely sidelined her. Like there's some stuff there, but I bet the writers felt that if Haruka had any appreciable effect on Uncle Kaz's growth, he probably wouldn't remain badass punch man.

And if that's what you want from Kiryu, well you got it.

on second thought, I kinda liked Haruka in Y3, even if I didn't enjoy the game.

she helped take charge and give the kids a good home, and I feel it's something that Kiryu couldn't have done alone.

I mostly agree TC, though for me it's:

6 > 2K > 0 > LAD > K1 > 5 > 4 > 3
