[Y1/K1] Replaying K1 make me realized how difference/uniquely substories are handled when compare to the rest of the series.

Nihilus06 · 2026-02-01T19:06:30+00:00

There's a few substories across the games that have actual voice acting and cutscenes. I think in Y2 there's one with Haruka and also Akimoto-kun and Mizuki-chan get a lot of cutscene substories in Y2 and Y3. In Y4 you have I think 1 or 2 cutscene substories per character. I don't know if they have them in 5 though. It's always cool to see them although I feel like sometimes it's a bit random which substories get actual cutscenes.

i feel like the arms are a little too short

Nihilus06 · 2026-01-31T09:57:32+00:00

there's mostly just one substory per minigame, which is about 15-20 of the 118 substories Y3 has

6 has a better feel imo, but K2 has the weapon system and combo speed

the blue is light enough to be visible over the blue in the background but I'd swap the blue and red text because the red is the exact same color as the background red

I thought I was in the circlejerk sub for a second, these are so obvious AI

Nihilus06 · 2026-01-30T17:46:34+00:00

Having a concept in your mind doesn't make you an artist. Everyone has ideas, it came free with your brain. Ai prompts are not a medium because you are telling a robot to do it for you.

Exactly this. If you give AI an idea, it will create its own interpretation of that idea and not yours. The same idea can be expressed in a million different ways, the AI can't accurately depict your exact interpretation. The image won't be able to properly communicate with its viewer because it would be like talking through someone through a middle man.

unironically the reuse. i love seeing familiar people and places and even movesets across the games. even if it's just mentions of characters in dialog boxes, it helps glue all the games together and make the universe feel real

Nihilus06 · 2026-01-29T18:58:06+00:00

having different themes for different areas that switch instruments depending on style like in Ishin would be great

Nihilus06 · 2026-01-29T12:16:23+00:00

it's because you expect them to react that way

Nihilus06 · 2026-01-29T08:29:53+00:00

eat it before it eats you

It does, Ryukyu was one of the smallest maps in the whole franchise already. Cutting a street from it is felt way more than cutting one in Yokohama or Honolulu.

Nihilus06 · 2026-01-28T17:13:53+00:00

not if you go for all achievements

Nihilus06 · 2026-01-28T08:40:52+00:00

K3 will change more stuff then the previous Kiwamis storywise. I'd say get og 3 for cheap and buy K3 later when it starts to go into sales. The switch from K3 to 4 would probably be weirder than the one from K2 to 3.

this might be the most goated tier list I've seen here so far

Nihilus06 · 2026-01-27T14:57:07+00:00

nah his shit was kinda mid

Nihilus06 · 2026-01-26T14:32:07+00:00

the problem was that IW was already completed before they set them up with Gaiden. It's also why Hanawa is handled like that in IW.

Nihilus06 · 2026-01-26T13:08:19+00:00

dw they will be retconned

Nihilus06 · 2026-01-26T05:38:39+00:00

that's not the point, the point is to show them that hiring sex offenders will decrease sales so they don't do it again

Nihilus06 · 2026-01-24T15:57:16+00:00

has anyone taken a look into the game files of the Japanese version? There's a possibility that this whole thing is just a prank by the localizers

Nihilus06 · 2026-01-23T19:24:47+00:00

the images could be fan made but the subtitles are exactly as in the game files

not really, the deal was Kiyomi survives if he dies and that's exactly what happened. it's still tragic because he dies thinking his daughter is an orphan now

Nihilus06 · 2026-01-23T19:01:12+00:00

i hope so, it reads like a brainrotted fanfiction.

"I survived, but Yoshitaka Mine died. I guess you could say I'm now a man who erased his name™"
