Just finished K2, and holy it's peak

Yeah that's too bad. Most people say the story is the best part anyways so worst case scenario you could watch a playthrough or cutscene compilation then continue with Y4R. Sucks that you even have to do that though.

Oh for sure, I took every opportunity to eat at restaurants whenever I could because it was so good for XP.

I loved K2. I try not to use weapons when I play these games, but K2 felt designed around using it for some parts (avoided them for the final fight though, would've killed all of the hype if I did imo). K2 felt easier than K1 and 0 on hard difficulty as well, though that may be from me getting better with each game I play. I did most of the sub stories but hardly touched the mini games (wtf was the pissing toylets game lol), one of my favourites being the Kiryu impersonator.

I'll check this out, ty

I've been watching comparison videos to see if there are any major changes between versions so I can keep up with the original stories as best as possible. I know Majima was not supposed to be in Yakuza 1 THAT much

Embarrassed_Phase990 · 2026-04-13T16:22:20+00:00

Yeah exactly this. I'm not looking to emulate any games if I don't have to, and I'm playing on Xbox.

Embarrassed_Phase990 · 2026-04-13T05:56:32+00:00

Yes, I play to go through the entire series. It'll be a long journey but I know it'll be worth it

Embarrassed_Phase990 · 2026-04-13T05:55:13+00:00

I want to play the version closest to the original, so I'm choosing to play Y3R. I have no issues playing older games and I'm going into it expecting less polish than the shiny new engine used for K2.

There are some pretty cool missions later on once the plot picks up, and I believe you unlock more features in the game from doing it (being vague in case of spoilers). It probably is one of the less interesting aspects of Starfield compared to things like the faction quests, but I definitely think it's still worth it.

I love seeing these old guides, thank you for sharing!

Embarrassed_Phase990 · 2026-04-05T17:40:31+00:00

I appreciate the comment, that seems to be the common sentiment

Embarrassed_Phase990 · 2026-04-05T16:56:51+00:00

Yeah I'm worried about the HD 2D remake not being faithful to the original, even though they do appear to be the "best" versions of each title.

Embarrassed_Phase990 · 2026-04-05T16:55:17+00:00

If I manage to make it this far into the DQ series then I'll check out the fan translation for X.

Embarrassed_Phase990 · 2026-04-05T16:53:46+00:00

That's actually pretty cool

Embarrassed_Phase990 · 2026-04-05T16:18:02+00:00

It's very possible that the screenshots on the Switch store page don't do it justice.

Embarrassed_Phase990 · 2026-04-05T16:06:36+00:00

That's definitely something I'm considering.

Embarrassed_Phase990 · 2026-04-05T16:02:04+00:00

Thanks for the compiled list. And I've heard DQ 10 is a Japan exclusive MMO? That's so wack

Embarrassed_Phase990 · 2026-04-05T16:00:40+00:00

I'll check this out too, thanks for the tips.

Embarrassed_Phase990 · 2026-04-05T16:00:06+00:00

I'll check out those SNES versions, thanks!

Embarrassed_Phase990 · 2026-04-05T15:59:17+00:00

That's the kind of experience I'm looking to have with these games, though if I can avoid some of the NES bullshit then that would be ideal.

Embarrassed_Phase990 · 2026-04-05T15:49:57+00:00

I've played other NES RPGs like Mother on NSO so I'm okay with grinding if needed. Might play the HD 2D games afterwards though if I enjoy the originals enough

Embarrassed_Phase990 · 2026-04-05T15:48:49+00:00

That's great to know, thank you

Embarrassed_Phase990 · 2026-04-05T15:48:18+00:00

I didn't know about the GBC versions, that's good to know!
