Should Yakuza Be Edgy?

Yakuza is a series from the 2000s, and if there's one thing that this era is synonymous with, it's edge. Given how the newest games in the franchise were more light-hearted in their campaigns, people were clamouring for more grittiness and "grounded stories", which Dark Ties seems to be offering in spades. However, does the edginess that was hinted at go too far in the opposite direction of what some fans would want? That's what we'll be addressing today, as we go over the concept of edge, how it fits Mine and how it ties into Yakuza at large.

Cheers!
