Heya, John Yakuzas. I really love kiwami 1 and I'll beat it pretty soon, so I'm defenitely going further in the series. Yakuza 0 is now on my list and, as you know, it's now delisted and replaced with DC, that folk didn't really like.

I don't really want to pirate the old version or buy from gog, so i just want to know: is 0 DC really that bad or i still can have an enjoyable experience as a first-time player? I was told to just ignore the post credit scene and enjoy, but how true is it?

Thanks in advance.

Heya. So, I'm not into "write by rules" thing, but, you know, there's a reason why these rules exist. So here I am to ask some stuff about POVs.

I'm 30000 words into my first draft. The place of action is a city and a nearby forest. I have 12 characters and no actual POV - i just show what the characters do without directly focusing on one. You can say that i have "gangs", not "characters" - the pov switches from one group to another, sometimes not in the way that it's commonly done (instead of ch 1 - group A, ch 2 - group B, ch 3 - group C, it goes 1 - A, 2 - A, 3 - C.). They technically experience the same events (for example, a big robbery happens in the city and all of the groups discuss it or react to it in some way, and the last group was the one behind it lol). They mention each other, they meet in some scenes and chapters and they eventually will all get together. Yeah, 12 characters in one scene is not good, but I won't have much of scenes like this.

And yeah, obviously some characters are more important than the rest of their group. They're the ones i want the reader to get attached to, so they get more screentime and emotional stuff first. Of course, others will get it too, but first thing first.

I know the description isn't really detailed enough to understand what I'm talking about, but what do you guys think, will it work out? 12 characters divided to like 4 POVS that are all tied by the events happening in the city they're all trapped in.

And, of course, i don't count side characters and antagonists. So there are even more people around, just so you know.

I'd really like to hear your opinion about the concept itself.
