I just don't like JRPGs. If I wanted the same experience as watching a full season of an anime or a movie, I'd just go do that instead. Video games are supposed to be an interactive medium where your character and their choices are actually relevant to the plot. Like in Mass effect 2's loyalty missions.Btw, I mean it - play Yakuza, then Kiwami, I'm still needing to finish Kiwami but Yakuza 0 is something that might stick with you - if you go into it blind especially and as long as you don't know anything about 0's story.
Instead of the "Choice A and B leading to the same outcome" trend that is way too popular in VN's and Japanese games.
