Because he didn't get his position in the industry by actually grinding out as a voice actor and building his resume to get higher profile roles, he got opportunities because he blew up on Vine and twitter doing silly voices and with the lower standards for dubs, they grabbed him from that.

Let's not kid ourselves, here. The standards for dubs have always been nonexistent.

Even worse, he was hired as a scab. Sega's localization team didn't want to bother with the actor's guild and the strike that was going on, and more importantly they know real fans don't play with the English dubs, so they took in people who were willing to work for the lowest wage possible ie youtubers and complete nobodies.
The bigger issue here is that hiring e-celebs for voice work is nothing new by this point, but Yong is not a good fit for the role that's dropped in his lap and does not have a resume that shows he's earned it. Even someone like ol' Runka Chunkland cut her teeth on newgrounds flash animations and spent nearly two decades building herself up as a voice actress through various minor roles, and eventually hitting it big with 2B. What does Yong have in comparison? Certainly not his voice, but according to his public resume he did put down his million+ subscriber count which seems to carry just as much weight as all of these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kira_Buckland#Filmography, if not more.

You already have aviator sunglasses but they're not the exact same
It makes sense when you remember the new things made for it are pretty minimal
It especially helps that they have a bunch of games that have movesets they can reuse for minibosses
I wonder how many times I've fought shibusawa's moveset by now
Just curious, how does ichiban interact with any of the NPCs in the game considering he doesn't speak english? Are we just supposed to suspend our disbelief?
Im european. Bread is not healthy, especially not white bread. Cheese is not particularly healthy either. Both of these are things that will make you fat very easily.
No Im just not a low IQ high school drop out. You are literally arguing that a high carb diet is healthy.

It's not about diets ESL mongrel? It's about eating food that is bad and the image on op is slop. If you go to a restaurant and start with some bread and have any pasta with a little amount of cheese does it make it unhealthy?

You shouldn't have participated in this discussion in the first place. At best, you argue in bad faith. What is more likely is just that you have no clue what you are talking about because you dropped out of high school.

Bread is not particularly healthy, just eat a normal amount of it.
Cheese can be healthy depending on the fat/protein content of it, processed cheese is pure slop.
Meat can be incredibly healthy, but not so much processed ground beef fried in seed oil.
It’s about how they make it and what their specific version is made from. Grilling a beef patty and having a burger at home is fairly healthy, especially if you pick the right ingredients.
Pretty much, yeah. Ryo Aoki has no knowledge of it and it's a Daidoji secret. The people who saw it in Onomichi just thought of it as a weird museum project or something like that.
Is that actually explained anywhere? They can't have hidden it that successfully as it made national news. I just assumed the Daidoji managed to hide their own involvement and managed to pin the blame on Iwami alone.
is there a reason to grind akame network to lvl 30? I'm at 27 and have done all the interesting quests and 100%'d the colliseum
all that's left is the shitty white exclamation mark quests and they give basically nothing
When I went to Japan I saw fat fucks like this but they were literally all brits. Not gonna lie, I was a little bothered because I know the Japs probably all assumed they were American.
took me a bunch of retries. I saw videos where his health didn't regenerate so I'm assuming that only happens on professional. It took like 20 minutes to kill this idiot and I only managed after spamming the fuck out of the dragon heat energy thing with RT, i forget what its called. I had all the upgrades as well.
>thought it was gonna be another imposter >its the real deal
genuinely surprised me, especially with how they covered the face at first, and after a whole bunch of imposter shit happened already
With them bringing Minamida back through the colosseum. I feel like there is a chance they'll bring back some of the goofier characters from the PS3 games in minor references or side things. Like I can definitely see them make a reference/parody of Elon buying twitter and people scrambling to make alternate social medias by casually mentioning Mack made his own social media site that everyone migrated to.
Yeah, since the map is pretty huge. There's 6 bars and it charges 15/40/80 to charge 1/3/6 bars respectively, so it'll probably be scarcely used in the beginning and helpful later in the game. Taxis also help out, but it's like the skateboard in Lost Judgment.
You have to unlock every other agent ability before you get that one. Also start the weaponsmith substory in the coliseum but you probably did that already.
I played 100 hours of 0 and am about 15 hours into Kiwami, and in both games I'm not really sure how the devs intend the combat to work. Do you just level up, unlock new stuff, and then always use the best stuff? I know that's what would make sense in real life, but the amount of choices seems overwhelming at times and there's no way to really juggle all the commands and stuff in your head. So I'm wondering if it's supposed to be more like a beat-em-up where you kind of just use the strongest, newest thing you've unlocked. The thing that confuses me is the boss fights seem to require a different playstyle, you've got to be more measured and wait for an opening, and even then it always feels like I'm being punished and I'm not sure why. I made it through 0 on Hard just fine and I'm sure Kiwami won't be too crazy either, but I still feel as though I don't get what they were going for with the combat. Is there some fundamental thing I'm missing about it?
Skill issue. 0 and Kiwami have a large amount of abilities to unlock and to get the most effective use out of all of them requires you to learn when to use them all and style swap between the different stances.
That said, nothing is stopping you from tiger dropping every single enemy in the games but it will stop being fun after a while just using the same move for 200 hours.
So wait there actually is some depth to it? I guess I shouldn't be surprised, 0 is absolutely packed with stuff to do and very detailed. I know you can braindead your way through it, but it was the boss fights that tipped me off. I knew that they weren't just throwing crap at the screen without testing and saying "yeah just spam stuff until the enemy dies." For some reason it won't click with me. Getting some of the situational counters and abilities felt good, but I never felt like I "solved" any of the bosses or street thug archetypes, if that makes sense.
The problem is that the game will hand you a bunch of skills and tell you how to use them but will never teach the potential they have in a fight. A lot of people play the entire series doing the same thing every encounter. Four rush attacks and then a double finisher. And then maybe they'll just spam tiger drop on all the bosses once they unlock it.
The game never really punishes this playstyle, especially on normal, so a lot of people say there's no depth to the action gameplay.
I love depth in action gameplay, do I just need to crank the difficulty up and "trial by fire" my way through? You're right about lazy gameplay not being punished, so I feel like the only way to really get to grips with what the combat has to offer is to just play on higher difficulties where your options can't be ignored. Other games do this and learning the mechanics is very rewarding.
There is no depth to yakuza gameplay, both old style engine and dragon engine. The series lacks the most basic fundamentals of beat em ups (IFs, defensive abilities, commitment to movement and enemy placement, enemies that do more than basic hit attacks) and instead each game focuses solely on cinematic gimmicks ala heat moves, feel the heat, exheat etc.
The only time the series ever felt like they designed the bosses properly was 3, since only few of them dynamically switched their fighting stance (not like a cutscene with Shibusawa), meaning that you had to adapt on how you fight them on the fly instead of learning one time where to dodge or block and just mashing away (hello lau ka long or mine).
The most "complex" thing you can do in old yakuza games is wall bounding enemies and style switch combo extension and in DE it's just hold heavy attack for launcher -> 3x basic attack -> style switch and you just gotten yourself an infinite juggle combo as long as you repeat 3x attack followed by style switch.
It depends on the level of experience you have with action games. If you're a veteran of the genre, I doubt anything in Yakuza is going to impress you gameplay wise. The devs balance it in such a way that their players can just button mash their way to victory and any game that punishes it even slightly, such as Y3 with enemies that block, results in the playerbase losing their minds.

>IFs
You get iframes when you dash and during a tiger drop. >defensive abilities
Dash, tiger drop, parry, blocking, heat move counters. >commitment to movement
You can't dash cancel out of double finishers or grabs so you have to commit and you will probably get punished if you miss >enemies that do more than basic hit attacks
Enemies can grab and strike. You can't block grabs and some enemies strike low or use blades/guns which can't be blocked normally either.
These games play very simple but you're lying if you say they don't have any depth.

I ruined the scene for myself a little, I kept thinking that one of kiryu's eyedrops would hit the ipad which would cause it to go to the home screen or something. My familiarity with SOP videos and cum tributes has partially ruined this scene for me lol
Play the game oR watch a Longplay or if you'[re lazy... he sees ipad footage of the orphan kids talking to a hidden camera, Explaining their new lives and their adulthood. Also shows a drawing that haruto made. Just Anything that would make Anyone cry was shown on that ipad
Remind him that he essentially had to give up his entire family, and said family is now grown up and he missed all of them turning into adults. He's also missing the equivalent of his grand child growing up.

There are living, breathing human beings on this planet right now who willingly give money to Twitch streamers so paying money to chat to attractive woman isn't that out of pocket
japanese have a huge drinking culture, especially salarymen going after work to drink. places started having young women to chat up these losers and it exploded in popularity. It's probably not as popular now with the newer generation, but I don't really know.
They were bigger in the 00s before the advent of twitch whores.
Now they don't even talk face-to-face, they just shovel their money into gacha and vtubers.

Before Judgement released, RGG said that it takes place in the same universe but the characters won't interact, which is why Chinatown was still burned down as it took place after the events of 6. Since Judgement was successful, they seem more lenient on letting the 2 collide, but only making cameo appearances so far.
This game feels like sega took ms game pass money and make a small game that try to sell Yakuza 7, all Kiryu legacy games and sequel bait to Yakuza 8 at the same time
The ending scene made me cry almost as hard as Kiryu, way more than just teary eyed like I usually get from video games.
Started playing these games in 2015 when I saw the Ganker hype threads that Y5 got an English release and decided to start at Y1 on PCSX2. That scene made me realize how attached I am to these characters after all these years.
And holy fuck, how in the hell is Yongyea going to come even 0.001% close to matching Kuroda's performance there?
>And holy fuck, how in the hell is Yongyea going to come even 0.001% close to matching Kuroda's performance there?
That's the neat part, he won't.
He's going to absolutely ruin the scene, ruin the end of the game, ruin 8's dub too, and before you know it we'll finally be back to good ol' sub-only.
>And holy fuck, how in the hell is Yongyea going to come even 0.001% close to matching Kuroda's performance there?
He can't lmao. Just view the judgment karaoke video to see the level of his performance
>And holy fuck, how in the hell is Yongyea going to come even 0.001% close to matching Kuroda's performance there?
He won't and if Yong thinks he's getting attacked now then he is going to get absolutely ripped apart for his delivery on that scene because there is no way someone on his skill level can deliver that.
he's gonna deliver the scene like:
honestly can't wait. maybe the gaiden dub was even delayed because he just can't do it.
the reason the gaiden dub was delayed was because he is SAG and the strikes were happening. And since he didn't actually record everything for the game/his work wasn't in the game, he probably thinks that him advertising and promoting the games don't actually count as breaking strike terms. The stuff that was in the 8 demo was probably done before the strikes.
>And holy fuck, how in the hell is Yongyea going to come even 0.001% close to matching Kuroda's performance there?
He can't lmao. Just view the judgment karaoke video to see the level of his performance

After I got the No Reservations upgrade, I just took one sweep through all the restaurants to get the Akame points and then just ate at the Smile Burger near Shofukucho anytime I needed healing.
>grabbing a bunch of requests in a row in Gaiden
What the fuck, how are they still so stupid with how tedious it is to accept requests multiple times in a row.
>Why can't you go back to Yokohama in Gaiden?
I vaguely recall one of the popups at the start of Premium Adventure saying that you can, but I haven't actually done it myself yet >Are you actually ever in Kamurochi in Gaiden?
No
I think what really hurts is that even if Kiryu is able to go back, he still missed so much that he likely wanted to see. The kids all seemed to grow up well, but Kiryu missed seeing all of that, and he's still missing all of Haruto's growth.
Yeah, it's time that he will never get back.
He's been gone from their lives for basically 10 years once Infinite Wealth releases.
I'm honestly surprised Kiryu hasn't just offed himself yet.

why are liberals always so racist?
but the nigga's not even japanese
to the left, all Asians are the same
what a cuck
woah
you are just jealous
It’s true. I don’t know anyone in this country that would even take offense to this kind of mockery because it’s just true, most of us are fat as fuck
he's right though
just don't eat too many
It's Starfield all over again.
No one is that white in hawaii
Is that Ryuji?
🙂
hey wait, that's the "CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO GET TO THE STATION?" guy. Did he really blow up that much in a couple years?
GO STRAIGHTOO
Hawaii is America in name alone. That place and the people that live there are from like a completely different country.
Ganker should feel happy they have a representative in the game.
Is he still voiced by ruff man?
I'm not sure if he's actually voiced by him but they make him say "ruff" in one of his lines.
why doesn't kiryu say anything when he sees him and why doesn't he say anything about kiryu when he sees him?
because Andre Richardson was going through is own Man Who Erased His Name over the last 10_ years and isn't allowed to say anything.
Please understand, it's been 14 years since then.

Why is Akame hotter than the cabaret girls?
because she's an npc
They certainly are, though? Americans just tend to add unecessary amounts of fat to their burgers for some reason.
So is Y8 as based as gaiden or hot trash like 7?
Gameplay is the same with all except for a ring you move about in
Basically it’s still a shite spam fest and they never fixed any of its issues
Gaiden's quality in spite of having a 6 month development cycle is actually insane
I just realised the amon sunglasses should've been unlocked as a fashion item after beating Gai
You already have aviator sunglasses but they're not the exact same
It makes sense when you remember the new things made for it are pretty minimal
It especially helps that they have a bunch of games that have movesets they can reuse for minibosses
I wonder how many times I've fought shibusawa's moveset by now
Because they don't have to do anything new other than some tweaks to the combat
Gaiden has a mid ass story they need to go back to the amazing story telling of 0.

I can't wait to play Ichiban's new game.
he literally me
I look like this and sound like this
You look and sound like a tired male lion?
I hope I get to reincarnate as one of those.
Just curious, how does ichiban interact with any of the NPCs in the game considering he doesn't speak english? Are we just supposed to suspend our disbelief?
It's like how Kiryu and Andre Richardson somehow are able to respond to each other despite them both using different languages.
Hawaii gets a ton of Japanese tourists, so I imagine there's a decent chunk of workers there that at least know enough to carry a conversation.
Kson fat ass sexo
even in this image, kson gets mogged by the other girl.
who is who? red one's ass looks better
kson is the one on the right, the glasses are what give it away.
I love that dork

ZAMN!!
Why does Kiryu dress like Ono Michio during Sayonara Silent Night if the video is in Sotenbori? Ono Michio is an Onomichi mascot
He's selling cookies, probably to help fund tourism to Onomichi. Notice the 50% off sign before he takes the smoking break.
I cannot hear the "Haw Haw Haw" in any voice other than the PC Master Race cartoon dude from Flashgitz.
>bread is healthy

Americanbro...
Im european. Bread is not healthy, especially not white bread. Cheese is not particularly healthy either. Both of these are things that will make you fat very easily.
An european saying bread and cheese are unhealthy food? Are you a israelite or a mutt? Anglos fit either category
No Im just not a low IQ high school drop out. You are literally arguing that a high carb diet is healthy.
It's not about diets ESL mongrel? It's about eating food that is bad and the image on op is slop. If you go to a restaurant and start with some bread and have any pasta with a little amount of cheese does it make it unhealthy? Now if i'm trash like you that is gorging on cheese through cheetos and sticking baguettes up your ass maybe it's unhealthy yes
>ESL
>Calling someone else ESL after making sure they're not american and british (because those are israelites)
What's the point? You can barely speak english yourself, you try to apply eastern european grammar on the english language which makes your posts flow very awkwardly.
>If you go to a restaurant and start with some bread and have any pasta with a little amount of cheese does it make it unhealthy?
Pasta is not healthy either you fucking idiot, read a fucking book for once in your life. Like holy shit you don't even know what the word "diet" means in the context of this conversation.
All food is poison. Unironically, anorexia is the way to go.
every person that has eaten food has died, coincidence? i think not
>Pasta is not healthy either you fucking idiot
>diabetes type 2 by 50
Diabetes and heart issues in the future for you friend. Documented results of a high carb diet and its effect on your blood sugar spikes.

thats type 1 you fucking buffoon. Jesus fucking christ how can you be an adult and be this ignorant about high school biology.
youre a fucking retard dude
You unironically know less than a 14 year old. Please go to community collage or something, get a clue. You genuinely do not even understand the correlation between a high carb diet and diabetes.
if you do not believe that type 2 diabetes can be genetic you are weapons grade retarded and i simply do not have the clearance to continue speaking to you
You shouldn't have participated in this discussion in the first place. At best, you argue in bad faith. What is more likely is just that you have no clue what you are talking about because you dropped out of high school. Go on eating the way you do pretending it's healthy and sustainable in the long run and then when the health issues come creeping in you can just curse your parents for giving you "weak genes".
kek, shut up retard. you just got proven to be retarded.
durrr diabetes not genetic only type one genetic
shut up professor retard, lmao
When you die in your 60s, think of me. You can be an idiot up until then, but at your deathbed you will be unable to delude yourself further.
>you are weapons grade retarded and i simply do not have the clearance to continue speaking to you
LMAO
Bread is not particularly healthy, just eat a normal amount of it.
Cheese can be healthy depending on the fat/protein content of it, processed cheese is pure slop.
Meat can be incredibly healthy, but not so much processed ground beef fried in seed oil.
i want to slap you
i want to fuck you 🙂
>beef, cheese and bread is normal
>replace the bread with rice and you're a joke
what is it cooked in?
>t. Chigyu
It’s about how they make it and what their specific version is made from. Grilling a beef patty and having a burger at home is fairly healthy, especially if you pick the right ingredients.
white bread isn't healthy
it is healthy in proper doses and when it's actual bread and not corn syrup cakes that americans think is bread
So what happened to the Yamato MK2 after 6? Did the Daidouji manage to immediately rehide it?
Pretty much, yeah. Ryo Aoki has no knowledge of it and it's a Daidoji secret. The people who saw it in Onomichi just thought of it as a weird museum project or something like that.
Is that actually explained anywhere? They can't have hidden it that successfully as it made national news. I just assumed the Daidoji managed to hide their own involvement and managed to pin the blame on Iwami alone.
It's not explained anywhere, no. That could also possibly be the case, since we didn't hear anything about Iwami afterwards.
how do you sprint with fucking shoes gadget being on the same fucking button?

You get 1,000,000 yen like the levels before 30, but that's about it, no secret unlock or anything.
When I went to Japan I saw fat fucks like this but they were literally all brits. Not gonna lie, I was a little bothered because I know the Japs probably all assumed they were American.

With them bringing Minamida back through the colosseum. I feel like there is a chance they'll bring back some of the goofier characters from the PS3 games in minor references or side things. Like I can definitely see them make a reference/parody of Elon buying twitter and people scrambling to make alternate social medias by casually mentioning Mack made his own social media site that everyone migrated to.

there's a lot of obesity in Hawaii, aren't they addicted to put spam on every dish?
is it worth looking like a dork?
Yeah, since the map is pretty huge. There's 6 bars and it charges 15/40/80 to charge 1/3/6 bars respectively, so it'll probably be scarcely used in the beginning and helpful later in the game. Taxis also help out, but it's like the skateboard in Lost Judgment.

I just learned that the guy who voiced Nishiki is also doing the voice for Ichiban
yeah he's really good imo
even the english va did a good job with the emotional sense towards the end of the game
Tang did a decent job, but Nakaya's emoting was simply on another level.
Yes, they even have the same koi tattoo
Nah it's different

Ichiban's a fish halfway into becoming a dragon

Where do i get this? pls tell me
Do the coliseum
im pretty close to getting all platinum completion for the collesseum. Do i get this ability after i complete it?
You get it around chapter 3 or 4 from the weaponsmith
i was in premium adventure, And i just hadnt exit out that upgrade screen. but once i exited, It immidiately gave me the prompt to meet him.
You have to unlock every other agent ability before you get that one. Also start the weaponsmith substory in the coliseum but you probably did that already.
nvermind i JUst unlocked it.
Japan has them
look at those titties
Hearing American NPCs talking English in Yakuza ticks me off a bit
STUPID OLD FUCK
>Y o u w a n t t o s h o w m e h o w s t r a i g h t y o u a r e?!
I played 100 hours of 0 and am about 15 hours into Kiwami, and in both games I'm not really sure how the devs intend the combat to work. Do you just level up, unlock new stuff, and then always use the best stuff? I know that's what would make sense in real life, but the amount of choices seems overwhelming at times and there's no way to really juggle all the commands and stuff in your head. So I'm wondering if it's supposed to be more like a beat-em-up where you kind of just use the strongest, newest thing you've unlocked. The thing that confuses me is the boss fights seem to require a different playstyle, you've got to be more measured and wait for an opening, and even then it always feels like I'm being punished and I'm not sure why. I made it through 0 on Hard just fine and I'm sure Kiwami won't be too crazy either, but I still feel as though I don't get what they were going for with the combat. Is there some fundamental thing I'm missing about it?
Skill issue. 0 and Kiwami have a large amount of abilities to unlock and to get the most effective use out of all of them requires you to learn when to use them all and style swap between the different stances.
That said, nothing is stopping you from tiger dropping every single enemy in the games but it will stop being fun after a while just using the same move for 200 hours.
So wait there actually is some depth to it? I guess I shouldn't be surprised, 0 is absolutely packed with stuff to do and very detailed. I know you can braindead your way through it, but it was the boss fights that tipped me off. I knew that they weren't just throwing crap at the screen without testing and saying "yeah just spam stuff until the enemy dies." For some reason it won't click with me. Getting some of the situational counters and abilities felt good, but I never felt like I "solved" any of the bosses or street thug archetypes, if that makes sense.
The problem is that the game will hand you a bunch of skills and tell you how to use them but will never teach the potential they have in a fight. A lot of people play the entire series doing the same thing every encounter. Four rush attacks and then a double finisher. And then maybe they'll just spam tiger drop on all the bosses once they unlock it.
The game never really punishes this playstyle, especially on normal, so a lot of people say there's no depth to the action gameplay.
I love depth in action gameplay, do I just need to crank the difficulty up and "trial by fire" my way through? You're right about lazy gameplay not being punished, so I feel like the only way to really get to grips with what the combat has to offer is to just play on higher difficulties where your options can't be ignored. Other games do this and learning the mechanics is very rewarding.
See this is what I thought. Who do I believe now
It depends on the level of experience you have with action games. If you're a veteran of the genre, I doubt anything in Yakuza is going to impress you gameplay wise. The devs balance it in such a way that their players can just button mash their way to victory and any game that punishes it even slightly, such as Y3 with enemies that block, results in the playerbase losing their minds.
There is no depth to yakuza gameplay, both old style engine and dragon engine. The series lacks the most basic fundamentals of beat em ups (IFs, defensive abilities, commitment to movement and enemy placement, enemies that do more than basic hit attacks) and instead each game focuses solely on cinematic gimmicks ala heat moves, feel the heat, exheat etc.
The only time the series ever felt like they designed the bosses properly was 3, since only few of them dynamically switched their fighting stance (not like a cutscene with Shibusawa), meaning that you had to adapt on how you fight them on the fly instead of learning one time where to dodge or block and just mashing away (hello lau ka long or mine).
The most "complex" thing you can do in old yakuza games is wall bounding enemies and style switch combo extension and in DE it's just hold heavy attack for launcher -> 3x basic attack -> style switch and you just gotten yourself an infinite juggle combo as long as you repeat 3x attack followed by style switch.
>IFs
You get iframes when you dash and during a tiger drop.
>defensive abilities
Dash, tiger drop, parry, blocking, heat move counters.
>commitment to movement
You can't dash cancel out of double finishers or grabs so you have to commit and you will probably get punished if you miss
>enemies that do more than basic hit attacks
Enemies can grab and strike. You can't block grabs and some enemies strike low or use blades/guns which can't be blocked normally either.
These games play very simple but you're lying if you say they don't have any depth.

Kiryu crying like that made me uncomfortable
I ruined the scene for myself a little, I kept thinking that one of kiryu's eyedrops would hit the ipad which would cause it to go to the home screen or something. My familiarity with SOP videos and cum tributes has partially ruined this scene for me lol
good lord what a body
Is this a jav girl that they put in the game? She's insane.
What the fuck do they do to kiryu in this?
Play the game oR watch a Longplay or if you'[re lazy... he sees ipad footage of the orphan kids talking to a hidden camera, Explaining their new lives and their adulthood. Also shows a drawing that haruto made. Just Anything that would make Anyone cry was shown on that ipad
yeah, I mean I literally cried watching that
fuck you RGG
Remind him that he essentially had to give up his entire family, and said family is now grown up and he missed all of them turning into adults. He's also missing the equivalent of his grand child growing up.
Fuck...
Those fuckers cant be trusted. They're just using kiryu
Because this time he genuinely has nothing else left. His life has always been a chain of misfortunes, but there was always a silver lining. Not anymore.
Maybe he'll bump into sayama in LAD 16
Kiryu only loved Yumi
Sayama is in 8
She should be. They're just going to kill kiryu off in 8 anyways
idk, Ichiban is Naruto so I'm going to assume he saves Kiryu and they beat up the glowies.

Do people in Japan actually spend their salaries just to talk to a prostitute in an overpriced club?
There are living, breathing human beings on this planet right now who willingly give money to Twitch streamers so paying money to chat to attractive woman isn't that out of pocket
>overpriced club
like all clubs
Calling them prostitute would imply that they fuck
they do if you pay them enough
japanese have a huge drinking culture, especially salarymen going after work to drink. places started having young women to chat up these losers and it exploded in popularity. It's probably not as popular now with the newer generation, but I don't really know.
They were bigger in the 00s before the advent of twitch whores.
Now they don't even talk face-to-face, they just shovel their money into gacha and vtubers.
You think that's ridiculous? Hostesses are at least mostly attractive. Now the hosts - look what their women pay big money for. Jesus Christ just look at this
the people who pay for them often older successful ladies who focused on career then messing around with collogues
I think I mog at least half of these guys, honestly
Oh yeah?

I can't believe that 3 of 4 LJ fighters show up for the coliseum except for a yagami..
Really blue balled me. I also thought Tanimura was in there? Or at least someone who fights like him.
They can bring all these characters in and play as them, but they still haven't brought back Tanimura?
On that note why are they in yakuza, aren't they supposed to be different universes?
No you numb nut. Characters from 7 show up in LJ and they reference events all the time from past games.
Before Judgement released, RGG said that it takes place in the same universe but the characters won't interact, which is why Chinatown was still burned down as it took place after the events of 6. Since Judgement was successful, they seem more lenient on letting the 2 collide, but only making cameo appearances so far.
I just finished the game. I didn't mind one bit that Kiryu cried like a baby. Wonderful execution. He deserved that.
I can't think of a yakuza game since 0 that made Kiryu feel like a character again. He actually remembered how to have fun and banter.
lmao
Good meme anon, your mum cropped it for you?
This game feels like sega took ms game pass money and make a small game that try to sell Yakuza 7, all Kiryu legacy games and sequel bait to Yakuza 8 at the same time
lol at libcucks not knowing actual diets and what's actual junk food that adds nothing at all which is not a problem with meat
What is this I'm hearing about Richardson being alive?
The ending scene made me cry almost as hard as Kiryu, way more than just teary eyed like I usually get from video games.
Started playing these games in 2015 when I saw the Ganker hype threads that Y5 got an English release and decided to start at Y1 on PCSX2. That scene made me realize how attached I am to these characters after all these years.
And holy fuck, how in the hell is Yongyea going to come even 0.001% close to matching Kuroda's performance there?
>And holy fuck, how in the hell is Yongyea going to come even 0.001% close to matching Kuroda's performance there?
That's the neat part, he won't.
He's going to absolutely ruin the scene, ruin the end of the game, ruin 8's dub too, and before you know it we'll finally be back to good ol' sub-only.
he's gonna deliver the scene like:
honestly can't wait. maybe the gaiden dub was even delayed because he just can't do it.
the reason the gaiden dub was delayed was because he is SAG and the strikes were happening. And since he didn't actually record everything for the game/his work wasn't in the game, he probably thinks that him advertising and promoting the games don't actually count as breaking strike terms. The stuff that was in the 8 demo was probably done before the strikes.
>And holy fuck, how in the hell is Yongyea going to come even 0.001% close to matching Kuroda's performance there?
He can't lmao. Just view the judgment karaoke video to see the level of his performance
>And holy fuck, how in the hell is Yongyea going to come even 0.001% close to matching Kuroda's performance there?
He won't and if Yong thinks he's getting attacked now then he is going to get absolutely ripped apart for his delivery on that scene because there is no way someone on his skill level can deliver that.
Looks like the guy who needed help getting to the station.

Just play it on PC and wait for a mod that swaps his JP lines for EN ones. There'll probably be same for removing Yong's EN for Kiryu's JP.
It kind of sucks how there's like no restaurants on the bottom half of Sotenbori when I feel like that's where you are most of the time
After I got the No Reservations upgrade, I just took one sweep through all the restaurants to get the Akame points and then just ate at the Smile Burger near Shofukucho anytime I needed healing.

they should have at least let you accept them from the phone, i mean shit its right there
can I sue a developer for using my likeness in a game?
no yong you can't
yong wishes he had that physique
Was it rape?
RGG have been making fun of Americans for a while
>DSP hasn't played this
it's fucking OVER LaD lads..
Hamburgers are healthy but Americans are screwed because their system has zero regulations so their foods has tons of bad stuff in it
agent sexo
Why can't you go back to Yokohama in Gaiden?
Are you actually ever in Kamurochi in Gaiden?
>Why can't you go back to Yokohama in Gaiden?
I vaguely recall one of the popups at the start of Premium Adventure saying that you can, but I haven't actually done it myself yet
>Are you actually ever in Kamurochi in Gaiden?
No
What are you guys looking forward to in Dondoko Island?
nani
What did you pick?
Lift your head already
>Pay $70
>Just to have your IQ reduced playing this game
SAY CAN YOU SEE
k i n o
how the fuck is she not dead
Rubber.
OH NO NO NO NO
I don't follow this drama but anyone got that dragon of dogshit voice acting picture, I think it's funny
FUCK the ending got me good..
I think they delayed the shitty dub as to not sour it with Yong's shitty voice acting.
The saddest part is that Haruto remembers Kiryu despite being 1 year old at the time of Y6 and he wrote grandpa on the drawing
fug
Haruka obviously would have told him about OG-san
Who is he? I'm starting to think he's someone from 5.
I'll give you a hint: He disappears for about 90% of 5's plot and then gets killed off-screen
I haven't played 5 in forever. I recall a few characters just disappearing.
please clue me in bros
i haven't played 5 in years
Baba?
There's like 3 people who met Taichi Sazuki and Baba wasn't one of them.
It can only be Morinaga since they have the same VA.
Not to mention the fact that everyone else Taichi Suzuki ever met either had a completely different build, are old as fuck or bald.
oh shid
Literally there is only one guy he can be unless they pull a "I WAS HERE ALL ALONG" with this guy and pretend he actually was there during Yakuza 5
he doesn't look like him tho, even without the stache accounted for
One of the taxi drivers? kek
he looks more like him than
kek
>game takes place during christmas
>amazing grace plays during credits
gaiden is kino
that's just copying Yakuza 1.
The game taking place during Xmas happens in multiple entries. Amazing grace plays after 2 as well.
Yakuza 2 plays Silent Night, not Amazing Grace
oh right i forgot
i just like the xmas tradition
kino
GET OFF MY CAR YOU FUCKING naggerS
I can't believe he said that wtf kirth
>Y6 music plays when Kiyru breaks out of turn-based mode
>Y7 music slowly starts to show up in the Dissolution fight
what a unit
i hope we get a fat party member
what ethnicity is this
american
Goblina americano
kino is back on the menu
what
>ihciban can greet random npcs
why is that so fucking funny to me
I'm surprised Majima has new voice lines and dialogue in this game, I thought the VA kept saying he didn't wanna do it anymore
no fucking way
okay it's definitely wesker from 3
literally no one stays dead in this franchise
I half expect Yumi to be alive in Hawaii
Mine is still alive, right
mine absorbed the fall
He's in Daigo's basement
does demo progress carry over to the final game? if not I'll just wait
Bros, I feel empty after that ending...
its ok, Kiryu will get a good end in 8
if not, it'd be too much
He'll get back to the orphans in a funerary urn
I don't see a happy ending ever happening.
It's unironically over.
it's okay we made it to hawaii
rubber cancer isn't really fatal
>rubber cancer
I mean we already had the potential cure for Alzheimer in Judgment
I think what really hurts is that even if Kiryu is able to go back, he still missed so much that he likely wanted to see. The kids all seemed to grow up well, but Kiryu missed seeing all of that, and he's still missing all of Haruto's growth.
Yeah, it's time that he will never get back.
He's been gone from their lives for basically 10 years once Infinite Wealth releases.
I'm honestly surprised Kiryu hasn't just offed himself yet.
you're mom
>kids found the camera
good lord this organization is useless
Kiryu will beat the cancer
I believe in the Duuragon of Dojima
>mfw essence of buckle up
everyone knows lmao
even in fucking hawaii
Why does Japan love Hawaii so much?
Chitose is cute tbh
Cheetos*
chocolate milk
who is this?
Kiryu's new waifu
Ayame? nice!
>no party members from 7
it's over
where the fuck is nanba
Probably don't enter the picture until later. Kiryu splits off at some point and I think the trailers show him partying with Adachi, Nanba and Saeko.
>Kiryu steals Saeko and is rawdogging her every night
not like this Ichibros...
>no Eri
who?
ICHIBAN SENBEI
Too busy managing Ichiban billion dollar company after he disappeared
the fact she wasn't in a single story cutscene in 7 didn't clue you in that she isn't actually real?
she's a glorified substory party member and most definitely never coming back lol
She was just out of frame in every cutscene
Ichiban really just imagined a person to delegate decision making inside his mind
is she modeled after real person? she's gonna get memory holed after Infinite Wealth lmao
I wish they'd go back to having good music that isn't this shitty dance music.
how did Nishitani have a son and a grandson between 0 and now
its not his son
tfw the second RGG's new blood takes over the reins they give kiryu cancer to kill him off
>DSP isn't playing this game
it's fucking over kiryubros...
I wonder if 8 will also have a story irrelevant party member they haven't shown on trailers, maybe an American?
I was going to say that RGG plots were bad from 3 to 5. But now I remember that in Y1 Haruka was born because Yumi got amnesia and fell in love with older man Jingu.
>RGG plots were bad from 3 to 5.
Did you forget about the bomb at the end of 2?
0, 1, 6 and Gaiden are the great plots.
3 (orphanage parts only) and 7 are the good ones.
Rest are various forms of garbage with 4 being utterly irredeemable.
