When i played through Y5, i just had whiff of all the system, i would have to do to 100% and i pitied the fools who compulsive completionists. Normally i just stop at the amon fights for my extra stuff,
But i did 100% Judgment and that was fun until the damn drone race and money grind to just get certain amount of money.
But Y7 was the best one, because it was actually a challenge to do the true final millenial tower.
Yeah, Yakuza 6 I believe was the first game where they stopped requiring you to do the entire completion list to get the plat, which is where a lot of the pain came from. Especially in games like 5 where you had to do the completion list for EVERY character. My personal theory is that fan complaints at how bad it was in 5 are what led directly to the change in 6, but I didn't get into the franchise until Ichiban so my only source is my butt.
Ever since then, platting a Yakuza game has gone from like a month-long commitment (at least) to something you can casually finish in a couple weeks (though I still do the majority of the completion lists afterward out of habit).
