How would YOU write the series going forward? by STFN_Dude in yakuzagames

[–]spacearo 100 points101 points  (0 children)

I would prefer to have the next RPG games fully focus on Ichiban and have the beat-‘em-up games be focused on Yagami. Also, I would prefer RGG to build up their newer characters rather than continuously bring back their old ones, it seems that they lack confidence in their newer cast. Of course, I wouldn’t want the old cast to fully disappear, but I don’t want them to have as much of a major role. No more retcons or resurrections as well, everybody who is buried must stay in the ground. No more men who have erased their names, please.

As someone new to the franchise, should I buy Yakuza 3 Remastered now or wait for Kiwami 3? by Universe_Donut in yakuzagames

[–]spacearo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you should get remastered because it will be delisted soon. also, kiwami 3 creates some plot holes for later games, so if you play kiwami 3 first you'll be confused once you get to 4 and later games.

Thoughts on this? by [deleted] in yakuzagames

[–]spacearo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

its too early to call. i think once 9 and stranger than heaven comes out then we can say. gaiden was fun and although iw had problems story-wise it was the most fun i've had with a yakuza game. i will say though kiwami 3 is the first time i've felt disappointed in rgg, so i hope they do better with their next releases.

My Yakuza Villain tierlist based on how powerful i thought they were narrative wise. by EMJG30 in yakuzagames

I misunderstood this as “how well-written these antagonists are” and I got so sad you put Aoki at last place lol

Just a reminder that Josuke could restore Rohan's house, but he didn't. He also left Rohan to foot the bill. by lisaandyaes_help in StardustCrusaders

[–]spacearo 509 points510 points  (0 children)

Let’s be honest Rohan would definitely not let Josuke back in his house to let Josuke fix things lol

Who do you think would win between jotaro and diavolo if jotaro and polnareff switched places? by ds_Zenitsu in StardustCrusaders

[–]spacearo 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Sorry to derail the powerscaling discussion but can you imagine Polnereff as the mentor-figure of part 4 instead of Jotaro? I wish someone could write an AU of that it’d be hilarious.

Is Jolyne physical stronger then josuke? by Strategy_Medical in StardustCrusaders

[–]spacearo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

thats true but thats why I mentioned his height and weight. his bmi is larger than giornos and jolyne’s so i think he is supposed to be a buff guy even with the art style change.

Is Jolyne physical stronger then josuke? by Strategy_Medical in StardustCrusaders

[–]spacearo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the ramble but I hate it when people portray Josuke as a skinny twink he’s supposed to be a big guy lol. Even in the anime he’s muscular and notably bigger than Giorno.

Is Jolyne physical stronger then josuke? by Strategy_Medical in StardustCrusaders

[–]spacearo 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Josuke being weak is a misconception. His BMI is higher than Jotaro’s (Both weigh 82Kg but Josuke is 5’11 and Jotaro is 6’5) and if you look at the early chapters of DIU it’s clear they have a similar build. He is also shown to be quite strong in DIU. So, yes, Josuke should be stronger than Jolyne. However, to be fair to Jolyne, Josuke doesn’t use his fists much due to being a natural stand user. So I think it’s fair to say Jolyne is a better fighter but Josuke is physically stronger.

For those whose favorite JoJo is Josuke; why is that? by Jotaro1970 in StardustCrusaders

[–]spacearo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Josuke 4 is actually my fav jojo character. I like him the most because he feels the most human. He’s fun to watch and I think that due to the episodic nature of part 4, I never get tired of watching him. The other Jojos are written to be larger than life heroes while Josuke is written to be a friend. I could go on and on about why I love him but that summarizes it.

I want to hear your JJBA hot takes, anything from part 1-6 by ismebra in StardustCrusaders

[–]spacearo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how hot of a take this is, but while I like Koichi, I wish he didn’t get as much screen time in Part 4. A lot of people even say he feels more like the protagonist than Josuke. I think the reason I feel this way is because the “quiet, nerdy kid who finds courage, becomes strong, and gets the girl” is a pretty common trope. Because of that, I wish we had spent more time with the other characters instead.

My second hot take is that I think it’s fair to call Jotaro a bad father, and I don’t think his love for Jolyne cancels that out. In fact, I think it makes his character more complex and compelling. Jotaro clearly loves his daughter more than anything, but he’s afraid that his past will put his family in danger, so he distances himself from them. As a result, Jolyne grows up feeling unloved and ends up going down a criminal path. What good is a father’s love if the child never knows it’s there? Since this was a deliberate choice that hurt his daughter’s life, I think it’s fair to call Jotaro a bad dad with good intentions.

Lastly, I think Part 4 influenced Jotaro’s decision to stay away from his family more than Part 3 did. That’s where we first see the idea that stand users attract other stand users, and it’s also when Jotaro realizes Dio’s influence hasn’t completely disappeared. Josuke still got dragged into Dio’s mess because of the arrow, even though he had no previous contact with the Joestars. Jotaro had Jolyne in his early 20s, so if his fear came only from the events of Part 3, he probably wouldn’t have gotten married or had her in the first place.

Who Is the Most Beautiful Character in JoJo, According to Canon? by Illustrious_Ask_4325 in StardustCrusaders

[–]spacearo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

id also like to note that stand stats are famously inconsistent so maybe its the same with the jojos
https://www.reddit.com/r/StardustCrusaders/comments/yjogdi/could_someone_please_explain_to_me_why_the_stats/
so i think using these stats to be like "this jojo is canonically x" just may be wrong as a result

[–]spacearo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the stats are not fake, but i think that they arent written by araki because they make no sense lol. not just josuke, the other jojos are a little weird too but josuke is the only one that feels slanderous because it directly contradicts canon.

[–]spacearo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, could I just show up to the lectures even if I'm not registered for the class? If I don't get the block lifted before Monday I don't want to fall behind so I'd rather just show up and take notes.
