I dont like the MC

[Bonebreaker]

I know thats a personal issue and so far i realy like this game, but the character of Yagami really drives me crazy. Its like he is looking for trouble all the time and try to p..s the Yakuza off whenever he can even at moments where there is no reason for it and you think to yourself "chill dude". I think the game would be much cooler if we had his yakuza buddy Kaito as MC.

I don't find Yagami a very compelling character either. He's honestly kinda vanilla. I don't know why for an Ace detective, he's sometimes astute, but other times really dumb.

Its interesting to see so many different opinions about this character. However overall his personality is still not one i like, to hotheaded for my taste and he wallows far to long in what happend 3 years ago far to long for my taste. I would prefer a laid back detective like columbo. Someone who dosnt rush things all the time and keeps a cool head.

Also i dont think yagami stands that much out from MCs of other games. He is way to normal and acts most of the time like he has a bad day and trys to piss off as much people as possible. Sometimes he even seems a bit ungrateful to me.

Right now im in CH9 maybe it gets a bit better latter but i dont have much hope.

Tbh I think that he was made to be intentionally kind of normal. A lot of his personality is shaped to be more realistic than any other series protaganist. Also, he isn't exactly "wallowing" in the events of 3 years ago, if anything the exact opposite. He had a massive stigma attached to him that would have forever hampered his ability to practice law, so he pursued another profession and took advantage of the fact he was also able to practice as a lawyer. The story mentions it a lot because of how his main associates are involved in that career.

Also yeah, he is snarky. I think I prefer that to Kiryu though. Kiryu never really tried to provoke anyone, he just let them do their thing. Yagami provoking people is a fresh feeling that just allows the player to feel like they're getting their own little jab in, rather than taking every single piece of bs from the bad guys without saying anything, like kiryu did.

If Kaito was the protaganist, the story would likely go down the exact same way but would just lack any of the uniqueness that sets Judgement apart from Yakuza.

u should play the kaito files DLC

Majima the protaganist in 0 is absolutely nothing like majima the protaganist in the kiwami 2 DLC chapter.
The same would apply to kaito. A 20+ hour story made up of cinematics is going to be told a lot differently than a 5 hour one.

I honestly believe Kiryu is like 100x more boring than Yagami or even Ichiban. I love him a lot but you know he's the typical op main character who only wears a single expression on his face and beats everyone while looking cool af. Ofc that's to be expected as he was created in 2005 but yeah. All Yakuza main characters are god tier tho

So since i finished the main story today there is one question that bothers me now. Yagami is a detective and a lawyer (someone who stands on the side of the law). But in his journy to find the thruth he does some questionable things and even beats up some officials (who also are on the side of the law).

Why does he never gets punished for this? I know this is a game and all, but if there character was made with a more realistic and belivable setting there should punishment for beating up police officers for example. If you do this in RL you end up in jail or dead no matter who you are or what reasons you have.

To put it simply? Protaganists get a bit more leeway in their actions because it makes for a more interesting story. At least so long as the bad guy gets their comeuppance. It applies to most protaganists in detective stories honestly.

Sorry, i meant Kiryu lol

[Bonhart]

I didn't like him at the beginning either, but the development of the character through the story is well done. I'm just finishing Lost Judgment and I think Yagami is as good as the rest of the characters like Kiryu or Ichiban, (it's obvious each has a different personality but as a hero he doesn't stand out).

[TheZWolf]

Only think I dislike is that he's 35 but looks like 50 bc they felt the need to model him after his voice actor

[Gumichi]

Oh. I absolutely hate the MC. Even before the game, there's the behind the scenes stuff with Kimura's agency holding the game back. Imagine a single holdout stopping a project where hundreds have worked on.

Then in the game, Yagami as a character is a poser. In combat, the tiger-crane style sounds great. Except this guy adds these flourishes to all his base moves that makes everything unsafe. They also kept a lot of Kiryu's animations, and Yagami is no Kiryu. So we have Bruce Lee pretending to be Juggernaut.

In story, he's hoarding too many roles, and the composition doesn't sit well with me, if you get what I'm saying. If he's still playing his lawyer/detective role, then he shouldn't ever consider raising his fists. I'm left confused to why he tries so hard to make all the evidence inadmissible.

There's a backwards feel to everything. Like Kiryu is flexible enough for the developers to let Kamurocho do cool things and Kiryu plays along. Where as Yagami feels like he's forcing Kamurocho to accommodate making Yagami look good. Case in point - I can't imagine his Obatarian sub-story; and making Yagami sing Baka-Mitai would probably cost another million dollars and make put the ost in distribution hell.

probably unnecessary rant on my part, ignore and carry on.

Nah i like him cos he's unique. we already have tons of yakuza characters.
