But c'mon, we're in the general gaming discussion thread. I can be realistic here and not a blind Sega fanboy right? And yes, I know Yakuza is bigger than PSO is, but I'm sure the majority of the members here are more excited about a sequel to one of their favorite epic Dreamcast games rather than the sixth, er, seventh, Yakuza game that is a zombie spinoff. It is cool yes, but I guess I just don't feel any excitement about that. Sorry. I'm a huge Phoenix Wright fan and the last game actually featuring him as the main character was from 2007 whereas Kazuma has had 6 Yakuza games since 2005 now.
I'd say it be better to never be a blind fanboy, of anything. I think you'll find I happen not to act like that, nor an irrational fan either, or else I would have owned Sonic 4 and Sonic Racing, neither of which I do.
As for what series is bigger or who anticipates what, it's fair argument if we were actively discussing popularity, but neither are we talking about that nor was I saying more people are looking forward to Yakuza of the End than Phantasy Star Online 2, all I said was Yakuza of the End is probably much more cooler than this crossover title in which your response happened to bring in who actively takes an interest in the series or the title and as I point out, it does not really matter since we mostly discuss niche titles (And Yakuza has sold roughly the same as Ace Attorney) on this site.
And Phantasy Star Online had a sequel, many sequels actually, PSO Epi. II, Epi. IV, Phantasy Star Universe, Ambition of the Illuminus, Phantasy Star Zero, Phantasy Star Portable, Phantasy Star Portable 2 and Phantasy Star Portable Infinity. They may not be called PSO2, but then for coperations a name is just a name, and like Sonic the Hedgehog 4, SEGA are hoping that it'll give them commercial success by just having that name attached.
As for Kazuma, he does not appear in the Yakuza PSP game, neither is he as much of a major character as he is normally in Yakuza 4 or Yakuza of the End, if anything, Yakuza of the End will either be his last game, or close to it. And besides, I did not say Kazuma was the sole reason people were getting excited about Yakuza of the End or why it was cool, or did you forget Majima and Goda?
But you're right, we're on a Sega forum, and you're all allowed to compare this to the new Yakuza and bash it. Sorry. Let's not fight. I don't want to recreate the Team Andromeda/ROJM battle that ruined my last thread.
If you think me retorting your quote and using Yakuza of the End as an example of a cooler game amounts to bashing this crossover title, I think you might be a bit
too defensive about this title. Which I could understand if I said either series were terrible, however I did not.
