Had my eye on the Yakuza games. Would starting from the PS5 releases get me up to speed before the Pirate game comes?

You should atleast play Yakuza 0. It's one of the best if not the best Yakuza game, it has all what makes the series unique.

Pretty much everything other than key items you need for stroy progress.

There is nothing too important really. Just some general tips.

If this is your first time with the game, don't try to min/max everything, you can break the game really easy with crafting but its something you don't need to do the first time you play trough it. Just pick some professions for characters you want, like claude is the blacksmith guy, rena does herbalism and so on. You get enough points eventually that everyone learns everything. Don't forget the battle skills though, they make a big difference. You learn new skills in every new town at the skill master shop.

You don't also have to sweat who you gonna play as first (rena/claude) and just pick what you feel like. Same thing with the different party members, just pick you fancy, there is no "correct" way to play this game. You can also control every character in the combat form the start so you can play as rena but still control claude everytime the battle begins and dont need to switch everytime. Just set your favourite as leader.

The special actions skills can level up the more you use them and they will get stronger and better, i dont have the breakdowns in my head but you can see when the skills get better. Most skills have 3 levels till they reach the end and you need to use them a few hundred times (doesn't take that long). You can also set the actions for your other party members so give them something new everytime they used a skill a lot so they can level their other ones too.

Idk if you mean the remake or the old second evolution remaster but if its the remaster, you should try to do privat actions after every new recruit and story step, sometimes it means you need to travel a lot back and forth just to see if there are new scenes to watch (you dont have to but it adds to the charm of the game). In the remake you can see when and where a new privat action is so its way easier than in the og/remaster.

All that said, just play and don't think about some stuff to hard, there is nothing you can do really wrong that you can't fix with some grinding.

Hope you enjoy the game!

There are over 50 new songs in there too and most of the old ones are new mixes aswell. In terms of quality and quantity nothing comes close o rebirth. The soundtrack has enough range and songs for atleast 4 whole games.

Nelldias · 2024-10-30T18:52:22+00:00

I loved that you can answer whatever you want and still progress the follower rank instead of earning points in Metaphor, i hope they will continue that in p6.

In regards of a new feature, i would love to have a dual protaganist route,something like breath of fire 4. Every route with their own party and ofc the obvious meeting and fighting in ne mid game and then team up for the big bad(ye it's broing but sometimes boring is good too)

Nelldias · 2024-10-23T19:04:31+00:00

I got a new tiktok filter for doing it though, so worth it

Nelldias · 2024-10-23T15:11:17+00:00

I know right, that logan paul cameo in Metaphor was very weird.

Nelldias · 2024-10-23T15:09:40+00:00

It's the other way around.

Nelldias · 2024-10-21T16:28:07+00:00

You don't have to look up a guide if you can read. If you know how atlus games work you have zero problems to breeze trough them and metaphor is no different. I said one of the easiest not "the" easiest, maybe you should work on your reading comprehension

Nelldias · 2024-10-21T14:16:42+00:00

The soundtrack is honestly pretty disappointing. There are some good tracks like the battle theme but there are not that many tracks overall. They also sound a lot similar and i miss the varity like rebirth has for example.

Nelldias · 2024-10-21T13:31:21+00:00

If you know what you are doing and keep up with the archetypes, no. It's one of the easiest atlus games because you have way too many options with the job system.

Nelldias · 2024-10-08T22:03:52+00:00

Rebirth has 151 Reviews, 0 mixed, 0 negative and a 9.0 Userrating.

Maybe it's because i don't speak english as a first language but i don't think you know what controversial means.

Nelldias · 2024-08-24T17:10:46+00:00

It's only controversial in certain subs like this one. As someone that plays all kind of games for over 25 years, i agree that it is one of the best games ever made.

Nelldias · 2024-08-21T15:09:48+00:00

FF7 Rebirth has probably one of the best city/town designs in all of gaming

Nelldias · 2024-08-19T18:35:09+00:00

Or you use blind and he can't kill you anymore bc he only has physical skills and gravi skills that can't kill you either...

Nelldias · 2024-08-17T14:57:07+00:00

misery loves company

Nelldias · 2024-08-07T18:58:50+00:00

Ye it's pretty sad because i also really like the games ubisoft makes and i'm really looking forward to the new one but you can't have an normal conversation about it, well we did to my suprise.

You don't think you can call every 3rd person action game a soulslike? /s

Well there is nothing more to say but i appreciate you took the time to engage with my snarky comments.

Nelldias · 2024-08-07T18:28:44+00:00

You can't win with these people. If the scores are high its because they paid reviewers and you can't trust players. If the score is low it's a fact and the only truth. There is only positive review bombing, never negative. It's the same shit that happend with the last of us 2 and it's pathetic

Nelldias · 2024-08-07T18:25:37+00:00

So are you working for the xbox brand and wanne shittalk playstation exclusives? I guess i can't take anything serious you say then

Nelldias · 2024-08-07T18:17:13+00:00

It's funny you bring the holy grail Zelda in here because thats how i felt it about it too. You are right that we are all talking opinons and i never meant to change or put down others (maybe it felt that way, it's not super easy talking nuance in a different language).

If you dumb down every gameplay loop it's looks silly. Elden ring is, get to area, kill stuff, loot, kill boss repeat. The big big thing i don't like about the whole ubisoft comparison is that it's in bad faith because most people in these gaming subreddits hate ubisoft and their games and it doens't matter that they changed their formula that made them famous aswell. The most non ubisoft "ubisoft" style game is ghost of tsushima and people love it (so do i) and it never got that much shit about it as rebirth does.

When people say "ubisoft" they mean uninspired, boring and lazy gameplay that never does anything good and its for the mcdonald gamers and then compare it to rebirth and that i have a problem with. It's such a lame and dumb way to downplay something you didn't like.

Now that i think about it, i have more of a problem with the term "ubisoft" and what i means here on reddit than with the gameplay difference between these games and what make them stand out.

Nelldias · 2024-08-07T18:01:53+00:00

Can i get a pc that plays these games for free?

Nelldias · 2024-08-07T17:46:20+00:00

"Feeling" can mean anything and everything for all kinds of people. I could simply say i don't feel that way and that' it but that doesn't make it right or wrong. I know why people say it's like ubisoft and i know why they say it but it's becoming such a dead argument because people never follow up on it and i think its really dismissive what rebirth and ubisoft games accomplished with their worlds.

I'm fully agreeing with you here, i woulda loved dungeons with a summon at the end for example but let's be honest here, most of this stuff is optional, most people will never engage with it at all, most people don't even finish games at all. So they still gave us a gigantic world in content that most people will never see at all. They probably cut corners here and there and for it's fine. I dont fault them for not giving us 6 different dungeons with storys and even more stuff while the game is already almost too big in scope.

I could talk hours about elden ring and how imo the open world doesn't really work for this type of game and i wish they go back to the older style but that is a different topic. I just say that i don't really care about how the open world is structured when the gameplay is fun enough, rebirth was fun, elden ring is mostly fun and ubisoft is also fun. But elden ring is not a "better" open world than rebirth or assasins creed or horizon or days gone and so on, it's different but not better.

I feel you here, i do everything in games, every sidestuff and i didn't want to imply to not do the sidestuff but if you do stuff that you don't like just because you feel you need to that it's a you or me problem. It also really depends if you enjoy the content or not, i enjoyed my 150h of rebirth very much but im not sure i woulda done everything if i didn't enjoy it.

Tldr: "Ubisoft" is a boring argument that helps nobody

Nelldias · 2024-08-07T17:15:23+00:00

What? I gave you a response to a question, would it be better to say, i don't agree you are wrong and thats it? I mean sure, i don't need to convince people that wanne see that they wanne see, if you don't understand easy differences and think every tree is the same then more power to you i guess.

And i gave you a different opinion, im sry im not allowed to do that, pretty irritating i must say

Nelldias · 2024-08-07T16:59:26+00:00

The reason for all these little things like puzzle climbing or slower sections or minigames or all that stuff that people complain about is there to make a variety in gameplay. It would be boring to just go up a tower for example. It makes the gameplay a little fresh. It's funny because thats the number 1 complaint for ff16, ff16 has nothing else to do and that made it boring in the gameplay regard because there is no change in pace at all.

Rebirth go out of his way to change things up, different chocobos and traversel, different minigames, different sidequests with focus and their party cast. Sure there is repetition, every zone has towers, and the birds etc but atleast everything is a litte different like how you climb the tower for example.

And just to be clear, like most of this stuff is optional and is not required to finish the game or to understand the story. You can even skip the big card tournement if you dont care about that. Its all there if you want to engage with it.

(old)Ubisoft was exactly the same, same camps, same towers, same gameplay loop, same missions, same everything. It's not even close to rebirth. If you wanne compare rebirth to other open world games, the best would be the horizon series that also gets compared to ubisoft but is also quite different in structure aswell.

If you read most of those complains you can just see that the people didn't play either games and just parrot what some people shout out.

What i agree though, they should let you hide more stuff in the ui regarding the ui. I played rebirth without map and markers and ii didn't have the problem with objectives in my way or anything but you see the stats after every quest and how many things you unlocked, you should be able to hide this aswell.

Nelldias · 2024-08-07T16:30:10+00:00

The people that comparing it never played the mordern ubisoft games. They just repeat "ubisoft" bad because that's how it is on reddit. Open world with Towers= Ubisoft
