use your free level up boosters
I’m saving those for Ichiban since late-game leveling is a drag, there’s an achievement tied to making him level 70.
Uh they are better value if you use them at higher levels.
Is that Deluxe edition shit, doesn't that make the game too easy? Haven't gotten far in 7 but i'm welcoming some really hard fights that aren't Pokemon r/b/y tier, but like I said im practically at the start
Using those on anything but ichiban is moronic because party lead isnt allowed to die.
still waiting for legend NG+ to get challenging
it doesn't. i steamrolled the game and i was like 6 levels lower than you.
yeah i was hoping it would actually make me use the game's mechanics more often
I remember someone commenting that "enemies guard constantly" in NG+ and was waiting for that to happen but it never did? I just burning arrow'd my way through the game.
Not worth the money honestly.
whoever said that was bullshitting lol - i've 100%ed the game and never had that
yeah the Ai and movesets were exactly the same; you'd think that for 20 bones they'd remix some attacks or something
Hopefully we can get a mod that rebalances the mechanics to make it more challenging like Legend Remix 7.
Something like this would probably be great for y8.
Some jobs just feel like filler slots with no real use like Pyrodancer.
Also a nice added challenge to y8 would be fantastic
>Head Trauma: Removed 200 base damage
no wonder that skill was so busted, jesus.
I never used it. I just used the gun AoE and Karambit Limit break and did fine.
Korean Boy Band: Best Party Member (until Zhao, character wise.)
Party for me was: Ichi, Nanba, Joon, Zhao. Wrecking crew.
That said:
Jesus, 1,500 for 6MP seems crazy.
the moronic Wagner Z Hue 4 man at least knows PEAKUZA when he sees it
Just load them up with exp increase accessories and then throw her into the party. He'll catch up when you run the dungeons.
Which I did, but do you have any idea how long it takes to drag them to your earlier members’ levels? Zhao took me the entire Yokohama dungeon and ALL the Kamurocho bosses to bring him up to level 54, and I could barely use any of his MP moves.
>Saeko joins the party at 28.
>Kiryu is 48, Nanba and Seonhee are 43.
>Only thing I did was the minibosses around the map.
>autist joins the thread
>is autistic
I don't get it. How is he *always* here?
don't be mean to moose, he's honestly alright for a tripgay, he isn't too obnoxious to anything
trip back on
Black person id kill myself before using a trip
There is no way Nanba and Seonhee gained that many levels in the short time between starting chapter 8 and getting Saeko without deliberate grinding dude.
I did not grind at all. I just ran around the map fighting the minibosses and smackdowned random encounters (Which were basically all level 28) as I ran to them or even avoided them to not become overleveled. I think Nanba was like 28 or 30 when I got out of chapter 7? Kiryu was 41 or 43 when I left chapter 6.
The fact that you were able to smackdown anything at all means your Kiryu was already overleveled to hell and back. A majority of the enemies were either purple or red when chapter 8 started for me, despite my Kiryu being five or six levels higher than Nanba and Seonhee.
>Kiryu was 41 or 43 when I left chapter 6
How? I did basically everything available to me in chapters 6-7 and my average party level was only like early 30's.
Same here, I started ch8 with a level 30 Kiryu
You didn't do the Hawaiian Haunt because floors 1-3 are completely doable at that point. EX isn't unless you grind the first floor of it for like three or four hours because you simply can't do the damage, take too much, and enemies have absurd AGI.
I just did the first one and moved on because I didn't want to destroy the game balance by overleveling grinding in dungeons like a moron.
>because I didn't want to destroy the game balance by overleveling grinding in dungeons
Good thing I didn't grind it at all. I ran into Sector Two at like level 34 and Sector Three at 37ish. You don't hit a wall at all until the EX Sector which is where I thought I was naturally supposed to stop because it was an insurmountable wall without grinding meaning it was for later.
You sound pretty overleveled for that point in the game to me, as confirmed by being able to smackdown shit in chapter 8. You made your bed autist, now lie in it.
>You sound pretty overleveled for that point in the game to me
Yeah, because I was doing all the side content which was presented to me. I didn't go out of my way to grind. It's taken me 120 hours just to reach the bucket list unlock.
I hit chapter 8 at 40 hours so I don't know what autist 100% completionist shit you're on.
The dude spent like 10 hours on strikeout2
All 200 Buddies, all minigame marks for Ichiban, a copy of all Sujimon collected + Sujimon Stadium beaten, Dondoko Island 5*'d and all DIYs crafted (Until I found out there's people who spawn that also hand you blueprints so screw me I guess), all minigame stores bought out (Only limited items + weapons) including duplicates of the 5* weapons that are used in crafting, all minibosses available beaten, all Walk and Talks available completed, all bonds available completed, all substories except 36 which I guess unlocks later, all romances, all Alo-Happy Tours, and the three Hawaiian Haunt sectors.
There's an enormous amount of side content before you split up at all and then even more unlocks in Kiryu's part and completion list. This is where I'm at right now in chapter 8, I just recruited Saeko and am currently doing mahjong. It took over six minutes for it to just stop showing me every single completion list mark once I unlocked the Bucket List menu.
I spent two and a half hours on Spikeout because that's how long two runs take. 10 hours would be like five or six full playthroughs of the thing including stage 4 in every run when the completion list just requires all five stages beaten + all four characters played once and you can credit feed. Another hour and a half is upcoming when I head over to do it for Kiryu.
did you 5* all souvenirs too?
Hell no, Dondoko Island can go rot since it all wipes in NG+ and would require like 60 hours bare minimum of just waiting for sleep cycles to pick up stuff and hope it's stuff for the souvenirs or random bugs you need because fish are a joke to finish by comparison. If
I always do all the side content first before I progress with the story and rushing the main story isn't smart in 7 and 8 because 7 locked exclusive items behind the substories, most notably the job EXP items, so I didn't want to miss out by rushing the main story since we had no knowledge of what was limited or not due to the simultaneous release. I would have if we already knew everything. I also didn't have this issue in 7 because they didn't really have enemies constantly leveling up as you went along each chapter, they only did it in chapters 6 and 11 whereas in 8 they upgrade every chapter.
You really have no right to complain about characters joining underleveled if you go this max autismo on your first playthrough. I can't imagine wasting all this time and sullying my first impression of the experience because I've just gotta max out mahjong for the 15th Yakuza game in a row.
Welp, as long as you’re not 100% ubislop I guess
You can play all levels in Spikeout in one run, it saves you two runs minimum
Take the alt sewer exit in stage two then enter the warehouse to get to the mall stage, then if you beat the final stage boss in the mall (the double sword yakuza guy in the room with the statue of the Big Sonic) without killing ANY of his goons you also get to play the shipyard stage.
>It's taken me 120 hours just to reach the bucket list unlock.
you're overleveled
>You didn't do the Hawaiian Haunt
i did actually, until the first boss
then i got to chapter 8 and lost access to it
post your tier lists
haven't played the spinoffs, but starting the PSP game next week
I keep forgetting about Binary Domain. Should I bother with the voice shit or is it just a meme?
You can map the commands to buttons and I kinda forgot all about that feature midway through the game.
Do it, I did and it was fun as frick, I professed my love to everyone in the team and they all had very different reactions from the start to the end, plus it makes you care about them a little more when it feels like you’re actually talking to them.
infinite wealth is also ongoing, would probably put lj in solid and iw in alright right now
i wanna try kurohyou 1+2 and kenzan someday. my dogshit laptop probably can't handle the latter, but it might stand a chance with 3d psp games
>Y6
>masterpiece
have a nice day a hundred times.
man I liked lost judgement but the main story was so bad, the first one was infinitely better
(You)
Really need to get around to playing 6 and the Judgement games. I actually did buy Judgement on my original PS4 but it ran so terribly I didn't get very far.
Shenmue > all Cuckuza games
wait why are adachi and nanba here
Is it worth making a dedicated debuffer or ailment party member? Do they even work on bosses?
they do but the only one worth doing is defence decrease
i used nanba to 3 stack it and raped the last boss on legend
I just slap Glory Awaits on 3 male characters and spam it until I can nuke the bosses
Defense debuff did virtually nothing in Yakuza 7, but now they actually work. Attack and magic debuffs (found on tennis ace) are also good. I managed to beat the (YOKOHAMA DUNGEON SPOILER) Amon brothers using Nanba’s malodorous stench and putting the attack/magic debuff move on Seonhee.
Chitose’s unique healing move from Heiress is the only multi-target move that removes debuffs. There’s one from Pyrodancer, but it’s single target.
The Geodancer essence heals everyone (with no aoe) and removes debuffs
Actually, it’s more beneficial to have a dedicated buffer. Quite a few armors and weapons, varied between characters and classes, provide bonuses whenever they receive a buff. Geodancer and Breaker benefit from this greatly.
>Is it worth making a dedicated debuffer
There's no real point due to skill inheritance. Males can all just take Glory Awaits (Samurai) and Relentless Dragon's Dance (Action Star) while females can just take Noisy Racket (Tennis Ace). Nanba himself can take Malodorous Stench (Homeless Guy) if you aren't benching him. There's only so many attacks that are even worth inheriting so only having three attack slots is fine.
>or ailment party member?
Again, skill inheritance. If you actually want to use an ailment just take the ailment attack.
If you are gonna do a Kunoichi build then you're gonna be getting AGI from her ultimate weapon anyway and Chitose is the only one who can reliably buff it to my knowledge due to Palm Tree Pose (Heiress) which is a self buff.
If you are gonna do a Samurai bleed build (I don't know why you would due to that horrible AGI) you can throw Pine, Bamboo, Plum (Samurai) onto whatever males are on your team and then have the main person (Hopefully not a Samurai) using Shadow Dance (Samurai).
>Do they even work on bosses?
Debuffs work fine in 8, it's not like 7 where only Evasion and Accuracy down worked. Ailments work on minibosses but I think they have random resistances to certain ones because some definitely can't be hit with Drunk or Charm. Bosses seem to resist anything but DoTs.
yakuza like a homosexual
>failing this QTE just causes it to replay over and over until you press the button
lol what's the point in having it then
Has been a thing since Kaito Files, and is present in Gaiden.
That's unfortunate, it makes me miss the half-second QTE at the end of Ryuji's fight that makes you instantly die if you fail it
7 had it too during Ichiban and Aoki's 1v1
so you can do it at the last second, still a shitty excuse for a final qte
my kunoichi devolved into a speed stacking, substitution jutsu mule
Part of me regrets going sub rather than dub, Bryce’s Engrish grates my ears. It’s not even funny like Tomi’s and Mine’s because they spoke it once out of necessity.
I wish there was a Tekken-like option, where everyone speaks their own native language and they just understand each other.
>here is your 60+ year old man that looks 29
Majima is only 58.
>I wish there was a Tekken-like option, where everyone speaks their own native language and they just understand each other.
I really do wonder why they didn't just do that. Not like, tekken-ing it, but we have bilingual party members in Hawaii, I feel like they could've done the thing where they just "speak over" the english performances or something.
Hell, just give Bryce the same treatment as Dwight and Roman.
bilingual languages could only work if they never dubbed the game in the first place like tekken. nioh 1 did it(with foreign characters speaking both english and spanish) but then 2 got dubbed and only had two returning characters from the first game keeping the gimmick of still speaking english while everyone else spoke japanese
i'm done
what did i think of the game?
It should have been 2/3rds as long.
You hate it
>That scumbag Ichiban Kasuga is taking bribes from ex-yakuza and gives them jobs!
>That villain Kazuma Kiryu is still alive and has not answered for his yakuza crimes!
>Sugoooiiii, the Seiryu Clan are such ebin chads and totally honorable yakuza! They’ll even give ex-yakuza jobs!
Why are Tatara subscribers such morons? Are vtuber fans like this?
booba...
>getting excited by digital boobs
bruh
You have to remember that vtubers make their corporations literally millions of dollars yearly from people paying to have their comments read out
>are v-tuber fans moronic?
You actually need to ask?
good god these vtuber segments are tedious
My problem is with the constant 4D chess keikaku moves.
>kukuku, Kiryu you fool, that truck driver was a spy all along!
>fufufu, Ichiban you dimwit, that grocery store owner you bought a pack of cigarettes from was a sleeper agent all along!
it’s soooo reminiscent of the worst aspect of Yakuza 5.
i just wish you could skip the voice lines, you can read ahead and skip 99% of the game but you have to listen to this dumb morons "whoa what's so crazy omg" every time
the series has had its ups and downs but between this and being forced to spend any amount of time in dodonko island i'm not having a great time with this game
my mind was wandering during them, then i wondered "hey, wouldn't people find it kinda weird that this vtuber that's known for being against prominent yakuza figures ended up bringing actual yakuza figures to her stream? why should the public trust these ones but not the other ones?"
i think it was around there IW's story begins shitting itself
Anyone with a double digit IQ would realize something’s fishy going on in the stream, especially when Ebina went:
>“Seiryu Clan is good yakuza, Tojo Clan is bad yakuza. Btw, we will bring nuclear power back and send waste to a religious order from Hawaii, we made the arrangements and everything before this stream and we won’t say anything more. Kthxbye.”
The story takes a nosedive to shit after hanawa dies and never recovers. It's not even the ending that's bad, it's everything after chapter 9
His death wasn't even neccesary, could have just killed wong tou there
so it peaked at dondoko island
>Game has environmental storytelling
Even within the context of 8 it makes no sense. He's presented as Kiryu's handler, a professional agent of the super secret Daidoji faction. Sure he's not a superhero like Kiryu but you'd expect him to be pretty tough and/or resourceful. And then he just dies within seconds of being shot in the stomach and doesn't even attempt to fight back. And this is a franchise where characters get shot in non-vital areas constantly and live to fight for hours after.
I understand they wanna be shocking and subversive and shit, but at least have it make sense. If the story really needed Hanawa to be on the ground & dead within seconds then have one of the goons walk up and finish the job by braining him while he's in shock from the abdomen wound.
morinaga sucks anyway
i tried going back to lj earlier and missing the segway honestly made a bigger impact on me than i thought it would, that shit needs to be patched into every yakuza from now on
I'd prefer they go back to smaller and denser maps that are more vertical than wide.
I like the Segway, but are they really any better than the skateboard? My only gripe is that using it in Kamurocho was pointless because of the pedestrian density.
the auto function alone makes it better, especially in an rpg game
It's not. It's barely any faster than walking, you can't interact with anything on it or "Aloha" anyone on it, it takes roughly three or four seconds to mount and then dismount it, and worst of all it has an energy meter meaning you need to constantly visit recharge points to throw $180 at it every once in a while which is negligible after like chapter 6 but the point is that it's really annoying.
The auto function is also really poorly done because it turns off if you go up even slight inclines, bump into anyone (Including your party members), or slightly bump into some objects. If you use it to waypoint somewhere via pins it will also get extremely confused and sometimes run you into walls because it doesn't know to go around a step.
The skateboard was far better even with it knocking you off on sidewalks and when you hit people because it at least went faster.
Hey Moose do you know if the hoverboard is available to buy for LJ? What pack would it be under?
You mean without the DLC? No, it's a cheat item. It was part of the first DLC they released.
https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0177-PPSA03774_00-DETECTIVEEP00001
So if I buy that DLC it includes the hoverboard right?
Yes but you may as well get the season pass since you're just wasting money.
Ik but I'm not planning on buying Kaito Files, unless it's really that good. I appreciate the help either way.
>Kaito Files,
You like hot hags?
Yes sir
And the skateboard was attached to a minigame. I wish we got free roam craaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy biking instead
LJ's skateboard is like 100x better than the segway. Honestly can't think of anything I prefer about the latter, they'd already solved the issue of boring traversal and then went back on it.
when's the next real game? i don't want a menu simulator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni9vXwF19J4
kiwami 3 is probably next, your best bet (and mine, frick the rpg games)
how ESG do you think it will be? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_-Tjgr6ETc
dead souls 2
You just know they'll butcher everything people liked 3 for, As another anon pointed out, they'll probably make combat piss easy because of brainless "muh blockuza 3" crybabies
Have they ever hinted towards Kiwami 3? I went to Okinawa last year and I'd love to see it redone in modern-day graphics now that i know the place
Extrapolation since 8 took place in Hawaii, it's just easy to port over all the tropical assets.
The only game they've hinted towards at all so far was Kenzan Kiwami like three or four years ago, twice. But since we got Ishin Kiwami instead it's probably safe to say that ship has sailed since they probably don't want to deal with the story topics.
Was the Haruka from the dream cutscene a new model or am I imagining things?
that was exactly what i was thinking too, yeah
i guaranfrickingtee you kiwami 3 is next
I'd say J3 is next it was teased in this 8, right
also I don't know how careful to be about spoilers now, I guess post-game stuff, but not sure about story stuff
She does in fact shit with that ass.
Gross (i should have been the toilet)
Are there any skills that are as good as burning arrow?
scrubdown, because i find it funny
Scum Scruber, it removes annoying enemy buffs
action star's ultimate move is great for sapping away health
Cutlery Crash
>The Housekeeper's final Frost attack since it has enormous AoE and does a bunch of damage.
>Desperado's spinning gunshot move that applies your weapon's attribute. It costs 45 MP.
>Scum Scrubber solely because of the buff removal.
>The cheaper bees from Kunoichi because of the fairly high stun rate and great range.
It's hard to find anything as cheap as Burning Arrow and that deals as much damage as it does.
Tennis Ace "court maintenance" removed enemy buffs in a straight line
sex with zhao
Haven't play it yet, but can anyone tell me what's up with Kiryu hairstyle? Are there story reason or lel Kiryu just wanted to be kpop idol? I don't mind spoiler. Also is this more Ichiban or Kiryu game?
The director got a haircut like that so he made Kiryu have it to self insert into him. No, I'm not making this up.
The store he buys his hair gel at began to recognise him so he had to stop buying it
i honestly think it's a wig
>but he didn't do chemo
maybe not during the game, but it's certainly possible the pain of the first round made him avoid taking a second
>Haven't play it yet, but can anyone tell me what's up with Kiryu hairstyle?
It’s not explicitly stated, but considering that he goes back to his usual hairstyle and classic suit at the end of the game, you could say it’s a way to present how Kiryu is in a low point of his life (again) and is nothing like his old self.
>Also is this more Ichiban or Kiryu game?
65% Ichiban, 35% Kiryu.
It's a mystery
God I fricking hate Yokoyama
what a fricking moron, holy shit
Game was extremely mid. We didn't even get to see what happened between joryu and hanawa
Gaiden was such a better package, and it's really not just about the length of Gaiden vs. IW. Gaiden had cool villains and fights. IW's villains really sucked. Bryce was a moron. Ebina is basically Iwami 2.0 and Dwight was forgettable. And with Wong Tou you blinked and he died kek.
In contrast Gaiden did such a better job with the early game fights with Tsuruno, then the mid game shit with Nishitani and Shishido was an awesome final boss.
I ultimately don't really care about the Daidoji that much, but the difference with how much of a threat the Daidoji was in Gaiden vs. IW was just bizarre. Really felt like each story was written in their own bubble.
Nishitani was so fricking cool. I wanted to go one on one with him as soon as I spotted him with those b***hes at the castle. He's an extremely charming villain.
Infinite Wealth and Gaiden were clearly written by different teams. Or rather, perhaps Infinite Wealth was written first, then Gaiden was written afterwards.
But, with that said, Gaiden is such a good game. Its in-game cutscenes are also better than Infinite Wealth’s, the lighting is excellent and you can see a lot of texture details on the faces and skins of characters.
>Or rather, perhaps Infinite Wealth was written first, then Gaiden was written afterwards.
I thought this was confirmed in an interview? Like they started writing gaiden as they were finishing up infinte wealth.
It's also why hanawa has such a prominent role in gaiden then gets relegated to being dead in 8
Ah, true, I forgot, RGG did confirm that. Still, Hanawa saying he doesn’t know how to fight despite being a boss fight in Gaiden made that abundantly clear.
https://automaton-media.com/en/interviews/20231030-22625/
>There isn’t a huge difference Between Like a Dragon Gaiden and Like a Dragon 8. By this I mean that, in a sense, Like a Dragon Gaiden was derived from Like a Dragon 8. We could have just told of Kiryu’s past through a thirty-minute interlude as part of Like a Dragon 8, but we decided it would be a lot more interesting as a game of its own, which is how the project came to be. Though this meant having a whole extra game to make, it still uses the same engine, so we thought “It’s not like we have to make it from scratch,” and decided to go with it. In the end, it took us about half a year to make it.
So, it was essentially going to be part of 8's story before they pulled it out to make it a fully featured game. Meaning they probably had some idea of how Hanawa and the Daidoji were gonna go and stuff like the Castle, Shishido, and Nishitani III were added in to make it a more fleshed out game.
I think it's fair to say Gaiden is the Ground Zeroes to IW's MGSV.
How many malls under malls are there?
that mall was fricking insane, i was surprised too
Whose idea was it to give Akane and Lani zero characterization? I was snoozing during the Ichiban chapters because who gives a shit about these nobodies. They didn’t even bother to have them in the ending. Also, having Arakawa make a bastard child was blatant character assassination
hanawa is 100% going to come back in a future installment
rubber bullet
>“Hanawa? Sorry, no idea who that is, you must be mistaken. My name is Nahawa.”
>"anyways, want olives in your martini?"
>fall for the dodonko island is a money maker meme
>i still get more money doing 15 min dungeon run
That was never a meme, Dodonko Island gains are negligible at best by the time you're getting full on visitors.
You and me both brother
Spending 10 hours doing shitty daily gacha game grinding only for making as much money in 20 minutes as you do in one smackdown in the dungeons
i honestly thought the cancer thing was just going to be an excuse for the devs to say why kiryu only starts at level 10
also kiryu finding ichiban in hawaii seemed so fricking random if you didnt play the demo
you know what it was so fricking random regardless of whether or not it was a demo
They really shouldn't have done the "Exclusive demo scenes" thing because it really cuts out some of the context for stuff early on. Especially alluding to Kiryu being sick before the hotel truth bomb. I have no idea why they didn't just keep that part in the main game.
yo man, kiryu getting carsick was a cute detail, why they removed it???
Because Kiryu is a manly man with manly feelings
Infinite Wealth is by far more fun to play but Like a Dragon had a better story
??
you know Gaiden was made after IW because Kiryu doesn't have his cheesy gadgets
also because in gaiden they only gave him bodyguard jobs occasionally, then all of a udden he works at a nuclear factory?
They pussied out on lung cancer Kiryu got from smoking Seven Stars because of advertisers and product placement, and opted for random ass nuclear waste cancer instead. Smoking is good for you, m-mkay?
Moose-kun, I’d like to confirm that the Host job is still the most viable job for Nanba. The class-exclusive armor for Hosts gives them blunt, blade, and bullet resistance, which helps with his defense.
The self-healing move was removed, but it still exists in two other methods: homeless has the Stashed Bottle move, which raises drunkness and can be shared with others, and the American footballer’s self-heal Cooler Shower which raises defense as a bonus.
Host was what I thought it would be because looking at the other jobs I really couldn't figure out what's good for him. It's basically that or Aquanaut and Aquanaut is more support + physical Frost attacks which pushes that more towards Ichiban. Chef seems like it benefits physical more than magical compared to 7, Pyrodancer is too physical oriented, Desperado is cool but is more for people who are good at both physical and magic, and everything else is physical oriented.
Aquanaut might be a serious contender for Hero. Its unique armor allows the character to ignore all resistances, just like Zhao’s unique sword.
I believe the current meta is to orient Zhao as the physical damage source and Ichiban as the magic damage source. It’s almost like Aquanaut was hand-crafted for Ichiban.
Doesn't Aquanaut's weapon boost physical attacks only?
Aquanaut’s ultimate weapon lowers enemy resistance to ice and provides extra physical damage, if the character is at full health. However, I’m talking about the unique armor, which is what lets Aquanauts ignore all resistances.
RGG changed how damage resistance works for enemies. If any enemy is weak to fire, but resists guns, the Samurai move that’s simultaneously fire and gun will have its fire damage effectiveness nullified by the gun resistance. With Zhao’s sword and Aquanaut’s armor, you can work around the gun resistance and the Burning Arrow damage will be supereffective.
I haven't been able to find a better aquanaut weapon (or a weapon I can craft into something better) than the jet surfboard and I'm like ~level 45, job rank > 30. What the frick am I missing?
Ah, don’t worry about it, it’s late-game stuff. You need to invest in Julie’s gearworks up to Level 4 (max), find the “Aquanaut’s Board” by defeating the enemy boss in the right edge of Waikiki Beach (bottom-right of the map), and have ice crystals + empty cough drop tins + shark fins/squid tentacles.
The crystals and fins/tentacles are late game items, just carry on with the best you could find.
Pretty much all crafted weapons outside the ultimates use vendor weapons as base. Though at that level you could probably farm shark fin and other mats in Hawaii Haunt sector 3 for crafting the ultimate. The ultimate's base drops from a crowned shark dude on the East side of the beach I think.
I think Hero's just not as good in this one because his buffs now require the circle range instead of being all characters and the personality buffs only increase range, not the buff. If we had the 7 Hero implanted here, ignoring equips, it would probably be the best job for Ichiban still. Being able to grant tier 2 or 3 buffs, fully heal, revive, keep yourself alive indefinitely, and have good physical blunt attacks is just great. Shame it's now fairly underwhelming due to the nerfs to his personality skills.
You can buy 5-7* weapons at the surfing store in Hawaii or sports vendor in Ijincho. You're supposed to be buying stuff from the stores, the drops and safes only go up to like 5* and most of them can't be crafted into anything.
I hate this enemy-type so much. They’re extremely tedious, all they do is spawn a clone and raise that clone’s attack, and if you don’t deal with them fast enough thanks to their gargantuan health pool, too bad, the spawned clone will spawn a yet another clone and then raise his attack as well.
A close 2nd is Angel of Megadeath. They spawn clones as well, and their attack scales in damage AND area with the number of clones in the battle.
The most annoying thing about them for me is they're blocking the only place in the city that sells Nunchucks and my Kiryu was an Action Star, so I just had to switch him back to DoD because I couldn't get him a decent weapon until I unlocked the dungeon to grind Kiryu up like 2 chapters later.
Stop grinding.
yakuza is just shenmue for 9gay zoomers
shenmue is too serious and "boring" for them, so they need the 24/7 action for their minuscule attention span, memes, the wacky lol so randumb humour xD and the japanese girl videos cause they're sad lonely weebs as usual
weak bait
Are shenmuegays hurt by the dig at them in this game? are shenmuegays real anyway
They are real, they're usually just hyper-autistic fighting game gays like me. This kind of Shenmue gay, however, is either a Chink, a 30+ year old purist, or both.
im subbed to the channel of a boomer who constantly makes up scenarios in his head to create shenmue 4 (and
5, seriously) speculation videos
There's a Shenmue Dig?
the in game podcast references ryo
What exactly is the reference then
black guy gets spooked by weird korean boy speedrunning "have you seen the sailors" between a dozen pedestrians in under 10mins.
In the ep1 or 2 of the EN language radio show.
Aww, is someone mad that Yakuza is successful when their dead series isn't? Cry about it.
HOW THE FRICK DO I UNLOCK ADACHI AND CHITOSE'S LAST DRINK LINKS I'VE BONDED WITH THESE homieS SO FRICKING MUCH
Story progression, you won’t bond with Chitose until twenty minutes into CHAPTER THIRTEEN (13).
try a different time of day with Adachi maybe idk
>both JoonGi and Zhao joinsthe party late in the game like in 7
why are they like this, Chitose better gets killed and replaced by someone else in 9. Tomi can stay
Tomi lives in Hawaii, it makes much more sense for him to get replaced. I don't think either will come back as party members though, they'll be NPCs at best. They can't keep bringing back every party member since things will get bloated and new games will most likely have a couple new party members.
Tomi's also modeled after a singer so chances are he's gonna get dropped
I didn't think someone that ugly actually existed and is a singer
What a shame
Kiwami 3???
Sorry, meant to reply to:
I love Tomizawa, he’s
Everyone also said that Nanba would be dropped because of his likeness actor.
Physical looks have nothing to do with how well you can write or sing songs. Still, he isn't ugly.
After defeating the final enemy everyone goes to Waikiki beach. Ichiban takes two steps forward. He takes out a wad of bills and throws it in the air while he says: we finally achieve infinite wealth.
What the frick ending is this?
she's so fricking cute, bros
I love her excited little pose and 'yosh!' after we win a battle
I don't care that she's a traitorous prostitute as long as she's MY traitorous prostitute
>traitorous
Did you even listen to her dialogue? She wanted to expose her dad’s crime, he didn’t receive any repercussions for overloading a cargo ship and causing it to sink, causing many workers to die, at least not until Eiji reached out to Chitose and hand-tailored the 2nd callout video for Tatara Hisoka. Unfortunately, Eiji being such an immoral snake, he used Chitose’s family connection as blackmail.
I don’t know why Ichiban even bothers forgiving him. The skinny fricker was reveling in evil acts.
Eiji is Ichiban's Psaro.
sure but she also acknowledges that she had ample opportunities to tell them the truth about Eiji and had she not waited until the very last possible second, Hanawa/Wong would likely still be alive and Lani wouldn't have been taken - she admits that she betrayed everyone and it had disastrous consequences
>I don’t know why Ichiban even bothers forgiving him. The skinny fricker was reveling in evil acts.
Eiji also had a backstory, you'll recall. He's just not a cute girl so you can't forgive him like you can Cheetos.
Chitose chose not to cross the line at hurting children.
She probably hurt plenty of children when she ruined the lives of hundreds, maybe thousands of people by bankrupting Daigo's firm.
This is true, though Eiji also gets credit for this damage.
Sawashiro is such a slimy bastard, I will never like him.
Just finished the game, enjoyed it through an through....but god damn that lack of New Game + and the true final tower is a real kick in the dick, refuse to buy such simple shit.
>kamurocho hasn't changed at all since 6
>little china is still under construction
Ha, Kamurocho will be abandoned anyway. Hell, I bet Yagami will move to Ijincho full-time.
They aren't going to bother updating Kamurocho unless they have a game primarily set there again, which would be another Gaiden game if anything. For now it might as well just be a legacy map they include as a bonus because it's iconic
Doesn’t Kamurocho feel like it moved on from Kiryu? It’s still alive and more active than Ijincho, but it feels “empty”, for some reason.
Hell, Akiyama fricked off to Singapore when the 3K plan rolled out, he doesn’t have any stake in the city anymore.
Gaiden games wouldn't necessarily be just Kiryu games. Could be any character really.
Yeah, I would love a Watase Gaiden. An Akiyama Gaiden would definitely be much more in demand by fans, same goes for Majima, but Akiyama doesn’t even live in Kamurocho anymore, and Majima perhaps can have a fresh adventure, but he already got his fill.
I could see them doing a Saejima Gaiden just to better introduce the character to people who started with 0 and 7. It's a little sad seeing people get to the Majima and Saejima boss fight in 7 and seeing people go "OMG IT'S MAJIMA AND... some guy"
I'm not sure what you could do with Majima's character considering 0 was the conclusion to his "arc" which was really just filling in his backstory.
You can tell they have nothing in store for him because they've done absolutely nothing new with him since 0.
Damn the DE makes day time scenes look like SHIT
Kamurocho feels like a relic of bygone times. I think the weird "emptiness" comes from how it no longer feels like an exciting, seedy haven for members of the underworld to prowl. It's no longer swarmed with gangsters or pleasure-seekers. It's the kind of unsightly place that Bleach Japan wanted to sterilize, and it feels like it actually was sorta sterilized--or at least that a light has been shone on it and revealed that's just an old shithole.
It's definitely been gentrified to shit; the way it changed and "abandoned" its seedy past is definitely intentional and part of the series' theming.
It's depressingly realistic. I yearn for neon-lit debauchery and gang warfare in the streets.
It certainly feels that way. Judgment was the last true game that showcased Kamurocho as a seedy and dangerous place, especially with the Tojo still around and the Keihin gang being a menace. It was still somewhat dangerous in LJ due to RK’s presence, but most of their action took place in Kamurocho since they were unaware pawns for the glowies chasing after Kuwana.
It’s still a seedy place with immoral and dangerous people, as seen through Kiryu’s memoirs, but honestly? They just don’t have the same bite and danger as in the older games.
it's funny seeing an amon be part of the main story
you could say that he is amongus
Ichiban got flanderized and turned into a caricature of himself, Kiryu got turned into a pussy with gay ass Yokoyama self insert haircut. Yokoyama should frick off for good and let someone else be the writer, otherwise stuff like MUH SAWA SAN in LJ and the entire moronation that is the main story of IW is the future of this series, aka complete and utter trash. Yokoyama was always a hack and it became even more apparent after Nagoshi left.
TENDO-SAMA, I KNOW YOU KILLED MY AWAKARA-SAN-SAMA BUT I KNOW YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON, YOU ARE MY FRERF
>Ichiban got flanderized and turned into a caricature of himself
Didn't happen. You didn't play 7 or you don't remember it correctly.
You no rike besto girls Yumi, Sawa-sensei and Sa-chan? You baka gaijin go homu white piggu!
kinda weird that they recycled the Gaiden hostesses' pics for ads in both Ijincho and Kamurocho
how do i make football weapons?
Change to the "craft weapon" menu
its not in either menu
You don't have any upgradeable footballer weapons then.
i dont have any footballer weapons though
Ok?
linebacker weapon for best one is from hawaii dungeon vendor and tennis is from other dungeon vendor
try buying a cheap linebacker weapon.
where do i buy one? im only in chapter 5
Sports store in the mall on the east half of the island.
doesnt sell weapon
No the other mall, east side, where the main alo happy store is.
East half of the island, not west
It's south of Allo Happy
your game's bugged then
There’s a mall center in the middle of the map, where Alo-Happy Tours office is, that sells sports goods.
check the shop descriptions on the map, i think the sports shop that has Hero weapons in Worldwide mall sell them
In the final chapter now in Hawaii. How does this work? I go to the boat to take me to the final area? Then does it cut to Japan and give me a chance to finish up everything there? Then after that the final hours of the game start?
if RGG were based they would have added an exclusive class for kiryu called agent/spy if you have a save file of gaiden in your system
my wife has lost her ass
she has gave up
Zhao's English voice is so sexy.
Unprotected and Carelss Kiryu-Haruka After-School SEX!!!
They set them for the level people would be at if they're rushing story while doing little to no side content. I guess they could have averaged your party level and set them there instead? Either way, Han's level isn't the problem. The problem is that you get him in the second to last chapter of the game. At that point I don't give a frick about raising his bond and leveling up his jobs so he just gets benched.
>no high level content
>no post-game content that isn't a 15$ + tip DLC
>You get to fight a full team of Amon member
>they're level 55
god frick
buy the legend NG+ dlc and you get to fight high level amons 🙂
The way the Amon theme did not play with their fight felt sovlless
Adachi's Walk&Talk Finale gives Ichiban the option to say he wants to go to Okinawa.
Kiwami 3 confirmed, Kiryu retired to Okinawa in 9 confirmed.
People meme about Kiwami 3 but I think it's actually pretty likely
I agree. I think Kiwami 3 would go over well with newbies who picked up the series at 7, and the likelihood that Kiryu is going home to Okinawa in 9 makes it a good time to find everyone why that place is his home.
>doing the kill 100 enemies as various jobs with Ichi, speedrun by autowin on low level mooks
>have Kiryu in the party and switch around his jobs too, thinking it will count for him and the objectives will pop when I switch to him
>they don't
frick you too, game
Playing Infinite Wealth just made me want to replay Lost Judgment again. Frick turn based shit, i enjoyed Gaiden much more than this and it even had a better story and characters
As someone who avoided grinding, Zhao and Joongi's levels more or less matched my party's levels by the time they joined.
Is district five something real in Honolulu?
If Kiwami 3 is announced, I will personally travel to Yokoyama's house and take a big fat steaming shit under his pillow then throttle him in his sleep.
Why?
The word "Kiwami" in Japanese means "Ruined".
Kiwami 3 will be a JRPG reimagining of 3 in the style of 7/IW, much like how Kiwami 1 and 2 were in the style of the newest games at the time.
It wouldn't work for the battle system. Kiryu doesn't have a party. Temporary Rikiya isn't enough.
That's why we'll need some changes, starting with the Majima is always beside you system.
The children of Morning Glory will be the party members.
kino and I will forgive the travesty that was 8 if this is true
They will only be forgiven if you can sex Haruka in fully animated and voiced scenes.
LEAVE EBINA TO ME!
Hey you! What's up man?
MEZAWARI DA
>>Zhao joins Kiryu’s party
>>he’s Level 31, everyone else is Lvl 40+
joins Ichiban’s party
>>he’s level 38, everyone else is Level 48-50
you forgot to add
>enemies are level 42
to the end of "everyone else is level 48-50"
late game spoilers if the daidoji sent kiryu to look for akane because of lani, that means they were aware that lani's safety was important to thwarting bryce's position as palekana sage, which means they had always known that palekana was the real enemy (probably as well as ebina depending on how aware they were of all parties included in the nuclear waste deal), right? if that's the case, why didn't they tell kiryu literally anything about the finer details of the mission WHICH WOULD BE IMPORTANT FOR A FIELD AGENT TO KNOW GOING IN? kiryu could probably assume that the local gangs might be a good choice of enemy, but who would suspect a religious organization so deeply-embedded in the welfare of hawaiians in need of help? furthermore, why the frick weren't there more daidoji agents on lookout near the hideout? are these frickers just more incompetent than the tojo clan, or am i the dipshit here?
From what I remember, the Daidoji don't have a ton of resources they can mobilize quickly outside of Japan, hence the sort of skeleton crew that Hanawa and Kiryu have to work with. Kiryu was also pretty open about saying that the Daidoji knew dick all about the situation outside of needing to get Lani out of there to thwart Ebina because the Seiryu / Palekana plan would work to benefit the current Japanese government whom the Daidoji oppose. It's just sort of messy in the second half of the game overall.
Kiryu is a godawful liar, if he needed to work with the front facing side of palekana to get information, which is what he and Ichiban did do, he wouldn't be able to hide his disgust if he knew they were the real bad guys.
I did Ichiban's finale under-leveled (42) and Heiress' AoE agility debuff + Linebacker's heat move that buffs the whole party's defense carried super hard. Giant Shark and Giant Squid were tough, but Bryce was surprisingly fair in comparison.
The nasty thing about doing fights under-leveled is not only the damage you take but every enemy outspeeding your team.
Need more Koreans and Chinese in these games
IW didn't give me enough Ichiban. I'm already starving for the next game he's in.
japanese movies people people can recommend if I enjoyed the stories of these games? Judgment games and the Ichi games especially.
i enjoyed that juxtaposition emotional scenes like the one in infinite wealth with the song that plays in the end with Ichi carrying Eiji - reminds me of anime movies
If you liked Judgment, try Cure (1997). More bleak and disturbing than Judgment's main plot, but a good watch nonetheless.
I liked My Family with Go Ayano, it's a yakuza movie on Netflix.
Then you also have Beat Takeshi's works like Hana-bi, Sonatine, Outrage movies.
the Outrage trilogy
what do you guys think of the playlist feautre
Convenient for when I'm too lazy to put on my own music.
what is even in the selection? i checked it out like twice, once I think by accident and once when I unlocked it and I saw that podcast on top of the list was in Japanese
Some kind of radio episode like you mentioned, but it’s in Japanese. I have no idea if it’s English in the dub. It also includes disco songs from Yakuza 0 and OST from a variety of SEGA games, both new and retro.
There are two radio shows that unlock episode by episode when you progress the plot, one JP one EN they don't get dubbed over if you change language.
Rest of the tracks are from SEGA games all over and you collect them from minigames or loot
they have Take Over from P5 but you can't play it in combat aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Didn't touch it. Just listened to my own music for most of the game.
Volume needs to be higher and the playlist size needs to be bigger
Other than that, neat
Neat at first… but then I went back to Spotify while going through the dungeons and doing Sujimon stuff.
I keep meaning to turn it on in the dungeon but I completely forget it exists until over halfway through at which point it gets through like two songs at most. It should play during battles.
Rolling around with the segway while this is playing.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
IS SOUP A DRINK OR A FOOD
SUCH A PODCAST LAWL
i do wonder how did they compress so much audio, as i read that this game is surprisingly light in weight for current standards in the field
What's a good class for the lady characters? they all seem to suck compared to hero, dragon of dojima, and samurai.
Geodancer and Kunoichi are my favorites. Others have said that Barmaid is good, but I haven't used it much because Sa-chan worst girl.
They have a whole bunch of area-based debuffs spread around the jobs.
Housekeeper has skills that removes enemy buffs, plus Money Sucker. You should have these on every female character.
Geodancer has a rez spell all girls can pick up while the male side is limited to Hero.
If you can't find a good use for them, you can always have a Kunoichi become a substitution jutsu cow for your other party members.
Is this ever coming to GP?
No. They just put Gaiden on there to get people's attention apparently.
SEGA said they don’t want to put games they expect high returns from on game pass, hence why Gaiden is there and IW isn’t… but then they put Persona 3 on GP anyway.
Anyone know how much more damage critical hits do?
yellow/10 more damage
Do the dungeon doors serve a mechanical purpose or are they just there to be annoying?
To hide if the room has loot or enemies.
Yes, it’s still annoying.
I want to Table Talk with Saejima.
Now that I think about it… were Zhao and Joongi even intended to be in the game? They both join late in the story and both Ichiban’s and Kiryu’s party now have a single member awkwardly put in reserve, as useful as a fifth wheel on a car.
I think they were just afraid of backlash from removing characters between games. I hope they get over it for the next one because I honestly couldn't give less of a shit about either of them.
I read somewhere that they were both not intended and only included because of fan popularity. But that could just be the usual Ganker bullshit.
I believe they weren’t intended to come back, but I’m glad they did. Anyway, Yakuza 7 had seven members, and now 8 has ten members, which would’ve been eight have Zhao and Joongi remained absent from the adventure.
Clearly the answer is to have 3 parties, bring in Yagami for 9.
Would’ve been possible if beta Yagami stayed.
Ah, damn, I shouldn’t have read your spoilers, I’m not that far yet.
No wonder he’s the only character who wears a jacket in his swimming outfit.
It's a fake spoiler, based on his swimsuit jackets.
It just sounds like the perfect moronic telenovela plotline for this series.
>Zhao always wears a top to hide his Japanese tattoo
>always wears shades to hide that his facial features aren't very Chinese
>fights with a sword and Chinese martial arts as a handicap to hide that he's actually a god-like fist fighter
>tfw he's actually a secret heir to the Tojo Clan who was hidden amongst the Chinese mafia as a kid for safety
How can he be the heir to the tojo clan if they have elections?
Did Kiryu or Daigo get elected?
An "heir" in this case just be the person slated for the Tojo Throne by Antagonist-of-the-week's 5D 30-years-in-the-making chess game to take over Japan.
>Did Kiryu or Daigo get elected
Yes? Kiryu was chosen by everyone else because he was the most respected and he worked to get Daigo the same respect during 2.
Didn't Kazama add Kiryu to Sera's will though?
You are correct it's been years since I played 2 my bad, I thought he was put in power because of the events of 1 earnijg him everyone's respect.
Zhao had to be in. He's going to be integral to the plot of 9 when his secret irezumi is revealed.
Joongi will be killed for dramatic effect.
Why haven't done anything interesting with Majima since 0 (not including the mediocre extra content in Shitwami 1 and 2) even though he's the most popular character in the series?
He's a character linked with the Tojo Clan, which has been steadily declining since Yakuza 1
Every game since the first has tried to find a way for Majima to make sense in the story and give you a reason to fight him and to some degree it works, but you can tell for a while they didn't really know what to do with him for a while.
>Yakuza 1 he's kind of like the rival character most action games have that you fight a couple times
>Yakuza 2, suddenly he's the leader of purgatory and has a new more innocent sidekick(Nishida) and you fight him to get info about the florist
>Yakuza 3, he's originally just there as the signal of the end of Kiryu's life in Kamurocho and then is there to give you someone within the Tojo that's not slimy and questionable
>Yakuza 4, they actually realized they need to establish more about Majima as a character and give him a backstory as well as a permanent character to associate with him outside of Kiryu(Saejima)
>Yakuza 5, go more into his backstory and work it into the status quo shift that came from Saejima being introduced
>Yakuza 0, they realized people want to see more of Majima's backstory and made a whole game showing his life between the hit and Yakuza 1
>Yakuza 6, they had nothing to do with him and just wrote him off immediately
>Yakuza 7, without Kiryu and Saejima as protags, they REALLY have no idea what to do with him now and just kind of have him hanging with Daigo 24/7
>Yakuza 8, they REALLY don't know what to do with Daigo, Majima, and Saejima anymore and just kind of have them show up and fight because Kiryu wants to and shoehorn them into the finale with no real buildup.
Majima ending up being Daigo's right hand man was set-up by 3. Majima has been taking care of Daigo ever since Kiryu told him to, and after Kiryu "dies" it's natural that he carries on looking after Daigo and the Tojo Clan for Kiryu's sake. It's the "honorable yakuza" aspect of Majima.
yeah, but 4 and 5 kind of forget that aspect since they need to establish Saejima, so when it comes back in 7/end of 6, it just feels kind of lame. By the time this element of Majima's character comes back, it's been near 10 years since it was actually established as a thing for him, so most people who would've been following the series from the start would've kind of forgotten about it and will just view it as a lame way to sideline the guy.
>Majima has been taking care of Daigo ever since Kiryu told him to
lol
lmao
Majima gave a manly promise to Kiryu that he will help Daigo, but turned tail and abandoned him after he got outsmarted by HAMAZAKI, of all people.
He was a shitty right hand man because his heart's not in it at all, he doesn't care about the Tojo or Daigo one bit, he just is doing it as a promise to Kiryu and halfassing it at that.
Why the frick is he so obsessed with Kiryu?
Kiryu is the only other person he can go all out with that isn't Saejima.
Beautiful eyes
it's an old anime trope, like vegeta with goku, and sasuke and naruto
Yes but we understand why those dudes are obsessed with each other, this is something 0 should have gone over but instead there's a timeskip.
They met in 1. 1 goes over it.
Can't be right, the first scene in Y1 Majima is already doting on him like he wants his wiener in his ass.
I can't remember exactly what it's about, but I think it's just because he hears about a strong guy beating people up and looking for Haruka. Maybe Kiwami changed it or something to shoe in that stupid Majima Everywhere system.
Yeah Kiryu and Majima are already acquainted before the 90s intro in 1.
It's just because Kiryu is considered the strongest, and Majima think so can beat Kiryu and become the strongest
He sensed Kiryu had a good heart and wanted to put it to the test. When he was right and Kiryu didn't waiver, he ended up obsessed.
Yokoyama or Nagoshi probably have a hate boner for him for some inane reason
Majima has never been treated in a way that makes it seem like anyone on the team hates him. I think they just genuinely don't know what else to do with him.
The most popular characters in this series are usually the worst. See: Majima, Akiyama. They're just too one-note, which I guess is what people like about them, to write a good story around.
>one of our best asset, Joryu, is in great danger
>He also got recognized by atleast 20 people
>shall we pull him off the mission or send back up?
>Nah, just Hanawa plus 4 dudes lol
>Even Ichiban said that a retired fat detective and a homeless nurse will be more helpful in rescuing Kiryu than Daidoji
Why did they write Daidoji to be a big deal in 6 and Gaiden, then made them a complete b***h in 8?
>just Hanawa plus 4 dudes
Isn't it three dudes?
Judgement 3 will have Yagami wear looser-fitting jeans
when does he show up
chitose just cut her hair in my game and i want to go do the hawaii dungeon but if progressing the story can grab him really quick i'll do it so i can grind his bond
He doesn't show up until the 11th hour.
Why is Tomi the only male friend that Ichiban has nicknamed?
She was one of the cuter kids in Yakuza 3 and her finally speaking and giving Nakahara the strength to wrestle a bull was a kino scene, I wish we got to see her again.
If we return to Okinawa in 9, I would expect to see her among whatever scenes we get of Kiryu's kids.
What I wanna know is, why did Nanba go back to dressing like a hobo
It's his questing gear. Makes him feel like a Mage.
The same reason Ichiban fricked up his hair again.
Okay, I crafted every single 7 star weapon, everyone is level 75 and default job level 30 when they join, hope that's enough for NG+ Legend.
Overall it was a good Yakuza game, but the Marvel movie script template (characters with no involvement in the story at all introduced only for fanservice purposes and le quirky sarcastic punchlines ala Tony Stark ), got annoying at some point.
Also the game ends on a giant ass blue ball, they will do a DLC or another Gaiden spin-off prequel to Yakuza 9 to milk the cow as much as possible
They really should find a real writer to write the story out of the cluster frick it is in now.
>saeko and ichiban conversations in survive in postgame
So they ARE dating and the ending was just wacky japanese humor bullshit, huh. They're breaking up by 9 though 100%, no way the fujos and the women on the writing team will allow the protagonist to be taken with a love life.
Godspeed, fujos
Or there was rewrites and they just didn't bother to dummy out those lines.
No, one exchange references the shirt. There weren't any insane rewrites.
Frick off, Ichiban deserves to be happy and fujos need to be gassed.
Nah, frick you. I want Ichiban to be happier with someone better than Saeko.
>I want Ichiban to be happier with someone better than Saeko.
I agree but they're never adding a second love interest. He gets her, or he gets oneitis syndrome and is single for the rest of his runtime in the series. So if this is the best we can get for him then frick it.
I'd rather Ichiban be single forever. 8's romantic subplot was so cancerous that I never want to see it shitting up an RGG game again.
Should i play like a dragon before infinite wealth?
Yes.
