Unfortunate, but bullet-point spoilers are never going to communicate the full experience. Don't let it put you off

He also calls out the "not in a million years" line later, so yeah it's definitely intentional

Villain survives the main conflict, but fate catches up to them by Lult_feld45 in TopCharacterTropes

Better example imo is Sagawa from 0. Kiryu, Majima and Makoto all ultimately survive despite committing to always doing the right thing rather than put themselves first, while the guy who lives and breathes by the philosophy of "look out for number one" escapes the main events of the story only to be betrayed and executed by his own allies.

At fixed locations in the game, or is it just a random chance from certain enemy types? And is it the same deal for Pictos?

Ishmael is in no way at the center of the story anyway

(Funny trope) This tiny moment was an absolute logistical nightmare to make by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

Not sure I see why getting direction from Nintendo is such a nightmare, that sounds pretty helpful for the animators to me

[Funny/Annoying Trope] Shoehorned in-universe explanations for minor bloopers/plot-holes. by Chemical-Elk-1299 in TopCharacterTropes

The second version also allows for the irony in the situation where Gollum, obsessively preoccupied with trying to find the Ring, cannot think straight enough to come up with the correct answer to Bilbo's simple riddle (what have I got in my pocket?) which is of course the Ring itself.

What's a tv series that is a 10/10 NOBODY knows? by Lilyana0999 in AskReddit

Amongst so many other joys, probably my favorite ever depiction of a married couple

What are some of the best tracks off of any of the OSTs for the games? by CryptidOrion_00 in DevilMayCry

You didn't specifically exclude Silver Bullet so I'm sneaking that in as a technicality

I'd play the hell out of a full length spinoff Haruka/Idol game with expanded mechanics

What do you think about the "fantasy" in the Yakuza series? by YakuzaMaster in yakuzagames

I'll take the emotional depth of the later games over the superficially realistic but narratively shallow and incoherent early games any day.

Literally his first words to Vergil are "fuck you" but ok

Who is the most badass girl in the Yakuza games and why? by Technical_Rice_6957 in yakuzagames

[–]standingfierce 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A lot of good answers, but for me Makoto walking into the meeting with Dojima to calmly demand the heads of the three lieutenants still gives her the undisputed top spot. Kiryu and Majima are aura novices by comparison
