Some of the reviews of this game mention a major story line…
story spoiler
in which Kiryu becomes the main protagonist of the game and goes down a nostalgia-driven memory lane adventure, revisiting old spots, etc. Considering this is supposedly pretty central theme for much of the game,
would you say it makes sense to play Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth not having completed all the mainline Yakuza games?
For context - Yakuza: Like a Dragon was my first game in the series. Like many, I’ve fallen in love with the madness, the cheese, the comedy and the world of the series and started playing the Kiryu saga of Yakuza 0 - 6. I am currently on number 3, and wondering if it makes more sense to soldier on, play through all originals before picking the latest entry, or to just jump in and enjoy the new title.
In other words: How much do you recon would Infinite Wealth spoil the original series, or how much would not playing original series spoil my enjoyment of Infinite?
if you care about spoilers. IW will have spoilers for earlier games, that’s just how it’s going to be. but you probably already encountered most of them in LaD
