[@LVL5esper]

Finally got and beat Yakuza 5 in anticipation for the 6th entry but after finding out what happens in 6, i think I'll just consider Yakuza 5 as the final Kiryuu story. Spoiler alert for thos who havent played 5 or read up on 6. Haruka reuniting with Kiryuu at the end of 5's mess of a story was a much better ending than her meeting some street punk that hasnt gotten ojisan no approval rating first.

[@mybrother8my360]

Highly suggest that you still play 6. They did pretty much screw up Haruka's side of the story, along with some other parts, but there are plenty of things that make up for it such as Kiryu's new bro crew. I also felt the that the ending scene by itself was great even though some parts leading up to it were iffy. As always, there are also plenty of side activities and substories to do since it's a Yakuza game.

[@saifojio2259]

Eh, i think it was a good ending. We went into the game knowing it was Kiryu's last game, and we all knew Kiryu wasn't gonna have a happy ending, they could have just killed him and be done with it but it wouldn't be a finale fitting for the dragon of dojima. So yeah, I think the approach they took, which was Kiryu having a rather happy ending but lonesome and sad at the same time was the only good choice.

I guess if you think about it this way, not everyone irl ends up how you'd hope they would be. So if you come to accept them for what they've become, then maybe you'll see the beauty in who they really are. That was pretty deep. But I used to feel the same way about her. Then I just kinda accepted her for what she ended up being (or what the creators of the game made her be)

[@aureliuszeta3037]

Nah, I agree with Qwe Qwe here. Haruka changed from street smart 9 year old and devolved into a boring, underdeveloped and poorly written Mary Sue who took severals levels in stupid. *Warning: Huge Rant below* What makes me so mad is that Haruka had the potential to become a compelling character who could've been an interesting contrast to Kiryu. On one hand we have Kiryu, who was an orphan who chose to become yakuza to follow his mentor. He may be nicer and more honorable than most yakuza, but he thrives in the yakuza culture and enjoys fighting/curbstomping despite his denial otherwise. On the other hand we have Haruka, who was born involved in yakuza affairs and had her life torn apart from the resulting violence. If her story arc was written better and more carefully integrated into Kiryu's, we could've gotten the perspective of a civilian who didn't choose to get involved with the yakuza world, a very different view from Kiryu's. But NOPE, we instead get RUBBER FREAKING BULLETS 😠💥🔫 In Yakuza 5, Haruka is presented as this perfect girl who could do no wrong, and dreams of becoming an idol. She has the personality of cardboard, has no real flaws and no hidden depths to be seen. Anotber problem is, there were no indications and no hints that Haruka ever had an interest in singing and music in the previous games, so suddenly introducing it like it was her lifelong dream seems like a total ass pull. Her motivations for going through all that training don't make sense to me. When I was playing the game, it honestly felt like she was just there because she had nothing better to do. And also, because of the weak/non existent reason WHY she was working to become an idol, the dramatic impact it SHOULD have caused when she threw the opportunity away just seems like she had a stroke and decided to act stupid. It's not consistent at all with the little character development she did have at the beginning of Y1. And don't get me started on Yakuza 6. Oh god...that shitfest. Sega did no justice for poor Kiryu and totally butchered Haruka (R.I.P. character development) Why did Sega think it was a great idea to take a street smart 9 year old and make her grow up into a naive, irresponsible dumbass. Haruka didn't strike me as the type to get careless and get knocked up by some useless no name punk and decide it would be a GREAT idea to become a single mom with no job, the Chinese mafia after her kid and bad social reputation (since she quit being an idol while being dumb enough to tell everyone about Kiryu and the orphanage. She doxxed her adoptive dad and her adoptive siblings since being associated with yakuza is frowned upon polite society) What the hell happened? Who came up with this crap?
