Isn't she with Kiryu back in Japan? From the story trailer it looked like Ichi and Kiryu will have 4 additional party members each, just like pic related. So you'll probably be stuck with Chitose when playing as Ichi.
Yeah, they brought them back, but they'll be split up between Ichi and Kiryu.
Ichiban's party (Hawaii) >Chitose >Tomizawa >Adachi >Joon-gi Han
Kiryu's party (Japan) >Nanba >Saeko >Seong-hui >Zhao
Still wearing the same clothes though, as most of them.
I'm guessing Kiryu's gameplay will be flashback style? Seeing as he is in Hawaii too.
Have you watched the story trailer? He goes back to Japan and leaves Ichi in Hawaii after a certain story event. It'll probably happen like 1/4th or 1/3rd of the game in.
I think at some point they're also going to reunite together so you'll have the full party (probably at the finale). That's why Kiryu has his own separate skill trees but they're not entirely fleshed out like Ichiban. It was also shown when Nanba was in Hawaii.
Is the japanese voice the original guy, the only clip I could find of the cutscene is the english dub where it's clearly not the same guy, even if he says "ruff"
FYI: both Gaiden and IW have an option in the settings to "Disable Text Skip Prompt".
for the love of god, enable this. That fucking SKIP prompt is pure visual pollution
I skip like 90% of the dialogue though. not completely, just I read faster than the actors deliver their lines and I don't care about a lot of the scenes, especially in substories
Not really, I'm pretty skeptical on the quality of the game since all the main heads of the yakuza series all left and formed their own studio. This game is more like a "idk if its gonna be good or not"
Same. Taking place in America is a huge red flag for me. Last time Yakuza tried appealing to the West we got nagger e-celebs and a horrible remake, and before that we got Dead Souls.
>Last time Yakuza tried appealing to the West we got nagger e-celebs and a horrible remake
Ishin is bad on it's own bro, there aas nothing to be done there
I will play it when the mod comes out to put Danny Trejo's performance in the Japanese version so I don't have to sit through the English dub to hear it.
Yeah, the amount of shit you can do will make up for any combat problems (even if it doesn't excuse them)
Soundtrack is indeed 'bussin' even if I don't know what that means
that part in the warehouse/factory at the end where Kiryu sees a hook and you're supposed to spiderman swing on it... but then he just grapples onto the steel beam... one of like hundreds in that area
I was not expecting that.
You can at least come up with the "well technically we didn't see him actually die" excuse, maybe the Daidoji saved him mid-air, but Lau Ka Long somehow being alive is completely retarded
> Richardson is alive
HOW??? Mine dragon-dived him off a 50-story building
There's nothing saying either of those characters are alive. The very game they die in stars a fucking never before mentioned twin brother of Kazama that is also in the CIA. 7 has one of your party members being a twin as well, and another being a body double via plastic surgery. Twists of 4 and 0 involve completely identical characters who aren't even related (Saejima's sister/Akiyama's ex, planned body double for Makoto's murder). 7's entire ending hinges on a man perfectly copying the build, look, and voice of Tendo.
>Mine
Honestly, if Andre survived he probably did too. At least, you can't say for sure that he's deceased anymore. Hell, Gaiden implied that Ryuji's body was never found and that nobody knows what happened to him
If Wesker is alive so is Mine. Unless he actually did bodysurf him down the hospital and land on him. Rikiya you can handwave by saying the reason why Nakahara and Mikio weren't able to help Kiryu and the orphanage was because they used all their money rehabilitating Rikiya and while he can't fight anymore he's somehow great at management.
No, Sonic and Persona are far bigger. Yakuza games are maybe making 1 million sales at most, but they haven't said any of them have sold over a million since Judgment. They have said 7 was the best selling title in the west and you can extrapolate that as around 500k or higher because 6 was equal to Japanese sales (Which at the time were around 400k).
>do pool with Tsuruno >i got first and manage to sink one on the break >try some retarded show to get the first ball knowing the angle was shit >it bounces around, comes back to where i initially hit it from >it hits another ball that then scoots over to hit and fucking sinks the 9
I could not fucking believe it.
if you said that specifically about the Coliseum, I'd understand, after all, it's pure sensory overload, so you can barely hear anything
but the Gaiden soundtrack is mostly electronic, something they've been delving into since Y6 and basically became their main focus with either JE or Y7, so it's not like they've suddenly shifted gears
also, this soundtrack fucking slaps, and the final boss OST is one of my personal favorites in the whole franchise, try getting yourself a new pair of ears
>Yokoyama makes it so in Kiryu's eyes Yumi was his only love, ever, in Y6 >suddenly, it's announced that Kaoru is back in IW >but uh oh, Kiryu still has Yumi's ring, talks about a memory of theirs related to marriage, and reaffirms that she was his only love
jesus christ, it feels like Yokoyama has a bone to pick with Kaoru
kiryu dropping off the ring at the church was him just fulfilling his promise to yumi and ending is burden, he now free to rawdog Ayame and have a good end with her and the kids at morning glory

I like you anon, only for your dedication for wanting Kiryu to fuck Ayame
Yea. Liked gaiden more than I though I would and the demo for infinite wealth was just as good.
Joryu having such a great time in hawaii probably forgot all about those smelly kids by now
>Dedicated Hana to contact the premiere cancer researchers after finding out. >Super Chunk uses her secretary powers to direct his money to non-scam organizations. >Actually gets a cure made for his specific cancer.
There are already mods in earlier Yakuza games like 0 and Kiwami 2 that add his voice for battle clips and non cutscene dialog which could probably be ported to Gaiden, the only thing that'd have to be done would be actual cutscenes.
I love his new shotgun kick in Agent style. I can't believe he got his ass handed to him either way where he needs to switch to Dragon style (Karate). He's definitely mid-Z rank in the Lookism verse
>All the circles on the ground to pick up nickles and dimes
People are really gonna waste their time picking up all these 5-10 yen worth of shit all over arent they
Kaito files was great. I'm just glad they didn't cheap out with making it have zero lasting impact on Kaito with characters that would never be seen again, because I'm conditioned by past Yakuza games and DLC in general for them to stick hard to the status quo.
Him coming out of it with what's basically a wife and kid is great. No Yakuza protagonist gets to have that, even Yagami when he's obviously set up to be with the prosecutor woman but they have to keep him single so he can date 10 different girls in Judgement/Lost Judgement.
No, I think at most one of the random women Kiryu takes a picture with in the castle looks like a random Yagami girlfriend? But there'd be no reason any of those would be on that boat so it's just model reuse.
I understand the other two but I feel like Japanese devs trying to represent America is a recipe for the most hilarious side content in any of these games
The games are played pretty straight, even the batshit nonsense like the Osaka castle in 2. 7 was a little bit too goofy but played it up with Ichiban being a loony.
Checked the credits for Gaiden and noticed Hidenori Shoji didn't compose a single track for this game, he similarly composed only a few for 6
Aoki has a ton of variety in what she composes don't she
It does feel like what people would've expected when first hearing of 6 and it being 'the final game of kiryu's saga'
Anyone else feel personally attacked by the restaurant sidequest for initially hating Kasuga in 2019 because he looked like a fucking nagger even though he kinda doesn't, as proven by the actual nagger showing up at the end? Kasuga even looks offended that people would think he looks like that
I laughed at the ending when Shishido was fighting so hard to let the Omi live under the thumb of the government, and in the end the government picked up his body and acknowledged he would make a good agent for them.
I don't want to sound rude but it has the same exact bloat as all previous games. Half of the main story is you being forced to grind Akame shit.
I think the most annoying aspect is I could ignore this if the coliseum wasn't such a throwaway feature - movesets of the extra characters are reduced for no fucking reason (despite them being in the game, like Daigo platinum fight having more moves than what you can access when playing as him), then you also don't unlock Gaiden bosses as playable characters because why the fuck would they add such a fun thing and then the coliseum missions just feature the same 4-5 fighters (where the horde mode has only green dudes and Ishin copy paste mini-bosses) when even the oldest coliseum had at least 20 if not more unique enemies to fight.
Fuck I swear they've been doing this on purpose since y4 to just dripfeed people minimal amount of content but maximum amount of busy/grindwork because long game = good game worth your money.
A lot of female NPCs just have Mafuyu's hair. It's less obvious on ugly bitches, but once you pay attention, you cross paths with a lot of Mafuyu lookalikes
Y7s english dub is fucking awful and sick of you dubfags dishonestly saying hentai quality english dub = GOATED
7's dub was fine.
I tried it on a second playthrough and was surprised. Yong will make a terrible Kiryu though.

I did because the dub has solid voices like Ichiban's (rivaled the jap VA during the Masato breakdown seen). Kiryu's old VA was nice. Not great but not bad either
Black Friday is the most popular clearance sale day, so Black Monday evokes some of the same feeling for how much product they sell as an arms smuggling group.

Omi alliance grunts with 3 other people, while Kiryu was dealing with 40 of them by himself and leaves the fight unharmed >doesn't even finish his fucking job, a bunch of Omi grunts went to help Shishido in his last stand >spergs out so hard against a nobody kiryu feels the need to give him a reality check >kiryu obliterates him and his party without even breaking a sweat >tries to use talk no jutsu against the guy who cucked him out of a normal life, can't even save him from being stabbed by fucking kume
Waiting to see what the word of mouth is with Infinite Wealth. Loved Y7, but a lot of the premise was the novelty of having a protag that sees the world through the eyes of a DQ game, and contextualizes everything around that. You can't exactly do that kind of narrative setup two games in a row.
>all this running back to Akame when this shit could be done on a phone
They never take several steps forward with these games, the mind numbing part of going back to turn shit in or grab new shit and getting 3+ requests in one go is slow as fuck.
Also why is the default option when trying to use an item is NO ? Trying to spam heal or heat is so annoying
I don't want them to reuse Hawaii for Judgement. I want them to fully commit and do a spinoff set entirely in Hawaii that uses old American actors known for crime/detective shows and movies.
Sugiura and Tsukumo's tech-focused detective agency leads to getting tangled up in a tech billionaire startup/conspiracy, with the basis being Mark Zuckerberg's land grab lawsuit.
Or Kaito's girlfriend/kid having settlement/insurance money and being used to extravagant vacations like that from the evil rich guy she was married to before, and he brings Tak as a +1 to basically be a babysitter for Jun. Then get into US vs Japan law stuff.
this always happens in yakuza, even 0 had these moments where you get an incredible tear-jerker but its fueled by a retarded plot to get there. To be fair to gaiden though its trying to work within the confines of the BS 6 left for nu-RGG
I think the only one that felt right to me was Makoto calling Majima a good guy at the takoyaki stand. Perfect woman tbh.
It was kinda gigabased that Taichi and Ayako were the ones that found the camera and recorded the message for Kiryu.
They've now left open the possibility of a heartfelt reunion with Haruka and Haruto in Infinite Wealth.
They're in their 20s
Haruka is around the same age as Kiryu in the Yakuza 1 intro
I think the youngest orphans that Kiryu had were born in 2001 so all of Kiryu's kids are in their twenties. Haruka is 27 in Infinite Wealth.
>all of Kiryu's kids are in their twenties >Haruka is around the same age as Kiryu in the Yakuza 1 intro >Haruka is 27
Holy shit, they suddenly caught up to me in age. I wonder how weird it feels for people who actually have been playing since Yakuza 1 launch.
Yakuza/LAD unironically should not have a dub. It's self sabotage as you're butchering the scenes for people who don't know any better and pick English.
I suppose in their point of view, they got a sale out of the person that picks English, and hope to hype them for a repeat sale with 8 which is in burgerland where they would feel more comfortable
Daidoji sent Kiryu to Hawaii to find Kasuga's mom. Since they know Kiryu wont kill anyone, they probably need her protected from their opposing faction
>Ending of 8 >Kiryu's leash is gone thanks to Ichiban and co >Kiryu needs immediate treatment for his cancer after the final boss >The operation is a success but his survival will depend on his will to live >Ichiban got Haruka, Haruto and the orphans to Hawaii >They are all standing next to his bed asking him to return >He hears them asking one by one to come back to them, Haruto being the last one to ask Ojichan to make it >Their wishes give him the will to survive
Would you cry?
He'll have a scene where he beats up a figurative cancer in a dream while undergoing experimental Daigoji surgery so he can join the gang for the finale.
You WILL Tiger Drop cancer.
After playing the demo I'm actually a little less excited. Hawaii seems cool and all, but combat really doesn't seem all that changed and it was my biggest gripe by the end of 7. It has promise, but it needs more or at least Im hoping there's a good bit more in the final release.

LAD is guilty of this in many places. Tendo and tigers literally takes forever to kill even though they pose almost no threat to you leading to a boring drawn out fight
A good blueprint for a turnbased game is something like Persona or Shin Megami Tensei. If you utilize the game mechanics, even bosses can be felled rather fast. Enemies hit fast and hard but don't have excessive HP.

When is this bongfuck going to release the 6 video?
>zero info on his Patreon page (I'm not paying him just to ask a question) >he posted a clip of Y6 I think almost a year ago >then posted a clip of K2 around 2 months ago
it's definitely coming, but god knows when
I thought the general consensus was that the dub is okay, not amazing, and Ichiban did a great job. It's just that Infinite Wealth's dub will be brought down by Yong's dub so much that it'll make it drastically worse in comparison.
I actually wiped a few times in 7, so I like the combat. I think people are just saying it's bad for the sake of it. It doesn't feel much different from DQXI.
Did they add in more control over your party positioning in this one? Was probably my main complaint about LaD7 since it influences who you're hitting in AoEs, or how your group is going to be hit if they're being dumbasses and clustering near each other.
HURRDURR SKILL ISSUE
seriously though I was hoping 8 would scale the moves up, but it looks like just 7 but more. 7s regular moves needed to be more bombastic, and all the other moves needed to stop being offsite prebaked cutscenes
For some reason, my game keeps crashing on PC. It didn't at all until today, and now it has 5 times in the past 3 hours. No consistency to why (sometimes while running, in cutscene, mid-combat), no message notifying it crashed or error report, just instant crash to desktop.
Any ideas on what could be causing that? I don't have any browsers or discord open or anything, and the computer's not overheating at all either.
jobs are great
the moves need to be bigger, ichi says so himself that fights are basically what his psychosis pretends the fights are, so they need to be wilder and crazier and not just the poundmates moves they also still need to be snappy and fast
If they're not going to improve the boring turn based combat system, at least improve the combat camera and make it like I'm watching a cutscene to make it more exciting instead of just showing the back of unit
id take a more faithful copy of dq or smt or anything fucking else. DQ fights can be over in like 10 seconds if you do the right moves, Yakuza is a SLOOOOOG in the late game
It absolutely is not. Universal HP/MP types, no real defensive stats, smirk is unbalanced as all fuck and random, attack stats are linear additions to damage with every single type of attack they effect, it is just a thoroughly unbalanced game that's extremely simplistic. Hit weaknesses, things die, the end.
I imported the mainland chinese version that came with a small booklet that was the script for them. Of course, I can't read either chinese or japanese, so I played through the game via google translating a japanese yahoo wiki page for the game and matching whatever correct choice was in brackets to what I saw on screen.
It really made me like Yakuza 5, I thought somehow the smaller Yakuza family in Kiryu's story was the Omi and the paper Kiryu got from the old man was naming him the new chairman or something.
this game felt like a Y5 2 tonally
with shishido and hidden identity
it definitely feels more of a proper send off to kiryu than 6 ever was also haruto is the same age as haruka in Y1 in Y8, fuck… im old
How the fuck did Richardson survive getting suplexed off the ruff of a skyscraper? Is he nice now because brain damage?
Is this is twin brother (not in the CIA)?
he's nice because the daidoji is an abstract concept manifested, essentially the spirit of "the friends we made along the way"
kiryu's path to closure and inner peace is understanding that he never really had enemies
Thought Y7 was shit but I gotta say Y8 seems kinda based in some ways
combat is still boring but Kiryu being there and being able to break that shitty turn-based system is cool
overall just Kiryu being there will make it a better game than 7, yeah sure they didn't need to bring him back but in Gaiden they manage to justify his return pretty well and at least he's way more interesting than Ichiban the crying bitch. Hawai is kino, kinda reminds me of that Okinawa vibe in Y3 it's refreshing.
Oh and if they're retarded enough to bring back Richardson then bring back Mine he was fucking based and I hope he'll team up with Kiryu.
My only wish for Y8 is that Kiryu uses Nanba the same way he used that waiter in the Snake Flower hideout
But yeah Kiryu's "dour but while muted still lowkey comical and wacky" attitude will probably gel a lot better with an eclectic cast of jrpg companions
>there's already a mod to play with this model in Gaiden >there's also a mod that unlocks all the abilities, so you can do a pseudo NG+ run
definitely going to replay Gaiden someday with these mods, just imagine the Shishido fight that haircut.
>Unlock pocket circuit >Spend 2-3 hours on it before continuing the main story
I did the same thing with the akane network and coliseum when they unlocked and I swear IDK how these games get me so distracted with the side stuff
certain things like this and 0's hostess game could be sold as their own things for like $20-30 easily
I fully expect the animal crossing minigame to better than New Horizons
Yeah that's the worst minigame aside from the 3 and 4 hostess shit. Like 0's Kiryu minigame but they make you fucking sit in menus for like 6 hours straight watching bars go up and the entire game's economy is gated around doing it
How the fuck do you enjoy the management minigame? It's honestly braindead. You fast forward through bars filling four times in a row. There's no gameplay, you just fucking watch bars fill up. After that, you play color matching rock paper scissors at a meeting. You do this over and over and over again. At least 50 times if you want to finish the storyline and get rank 1.
You'd have to be the dumbest person alive to find this engaging.

Isn't she with Kiryu back in Japan? From the story trailer it looked like Ichi and Kiryu will have 4 additional party members each, just like pic related. So you'll probably be stuck with Chitose when playing as Ichi.
>Kiryu gets Saeko and Seonhee
>Chitose will probably turn out to be Ichi's sister or some shit
Ichibros...
Ichiban is keeping his party from 7? I thought them using big actors would bite them in the ass again.
Yeah, they brought them back, but they'll be split up between Ichi and Kiryu.
Ichiban's party (Hawaii)
>Chitose
>Tomizawa
>Adachi
>Joon-gi Han
Kiryu's party (Japan)
>Nanba
>Saeko
>Seong-hui
>Zhao
Nanba's looking surprisingly fresh for a hobo
Still wearing the same clothes though, as most of them.
Have you watched the story trailer? He goes back to Japan and leaves Ichi in Hawaii after a certain story event. It'll probably happen like 1/4th or 1/3rd of the game in.
I'm guessing Kiryu's gameplay will be flashback style? Seeing as he is in Hawaii too.
I think he starts in hawaii but will end it in morning glory
I think at some point they're also going to reunite together so you'll have the full party (probably at the finale). That's why Kiryu has his own separate skill trees but they're not entirely fleshed out like Ichiban. It was also shown when Nanba was in Hawaii.

Same. Taking place in America is a huge red flag for me. Last time Yakuza tried appealing to the West we got nagger e-celebs and a horrible remake, and before that we got Dead Souls.
>Last time Yakuza tried appealing to the West we got nagger e-celebs and a horrible remake
Ishin is bad on it's own bro, there aas nothing to be done there
i dont buy it
I cant play the demo, it crashes on the audio select startup
Did anyone run into this too?
its to force you to use yongYEEAA
but no, 0 problems on Linux
I still cant believe someone greenlit that shit
SEGA likes to burn down their own franchises lately. Look at the internet celebrity dlc they released for Ishin.
You werent kidding it only works if i choose the english dub lmao
Yakuza peaked at 2, has been in decline ever since
I will play it when the mod comes out to put Danny Trejo's performance in the Japanese version so I don't have to sit through the English dub to hear it.
He might be speaking in english in the japanese version, and subbed there. Same way CIA Man in 3 did.
Yeah, the amount of shit you can do will make up for any combat problems (even if it doesn't excuse them)
Soundtrack is indeed 'bussin' even if I don't know what that means
> Richardson is alive
HOW??? Mine dragon-dived him off a 50-story building
rubber world
They used the Spider gadget to swing away like Spider-Man.
that part in the warehouse/factory at the end where Kiryu sees a hook and you're supposed to spiderman swing on it... but then he just grapples onto the steel beam... one of like hundreds in that area
I was not expecting that.
I thought you were supposed to lower the hook so you could climb...
You can at least come up with the "well technically we didn't see him actually die" excuse, maybe the Daidoji saved him mid-air, but Lau Ka Long somehow being alive is completely retarded
But thats his brother Kau La Kong
There's nothing saying either of those characters are alive. The very game they die in stars a fucking never before mentioned twin brother of Kazama that is also in the CIA. 7 has one of your party members being a twin as well, and another being a body double via plastic surgery. Twists of 4 and 0 involve completely identical characters who aren't even related (Saejima's sister/Akiyama's ex, planned body double for Makoto's murder). 7's entire ending hinges on a man perfectly copying the build, look, and voice of Tendo.
Like goddamn man.
Daidoji agents swung through the air like Spiderman to save both Richardson and Mine.
This series is gonna bring back Nishiki, Ryuji, Mine, Rikiya, Sagawa, Nishitani, Awano, Tachibana and Hamazaki just to fuck with some heads
>Hamazaki
literally never ever, they literally removed him from Ishin that's how much they don't like the guy
To be fair, he was replaced by Kuze, who actually never got a confirmed death himself come to think about it
?si=PpT62xQlwnf0G3KE
He'll be back soon
anyone got the music that plays during the construction brawl near the end of the game
Y3 just didn't even happen.
Mine and probably Rikiya are still alive too
thank god now we can stop telling newfags to finish it
>Rikiya
only villains resurrect. kiryu is born to suffer.
>only villains resurrect
what did you just say about Kashiwagi-san?
i actually forgot about that because i try not to think about 7 ever.
>Mine
Honestly, if Andre survived he probably did too. At least, you can't say for sure that he's deceased anymore. Hell, Gaiden implied that Ryuji's body was never found and that nobody knows what happened to him
Im pretty sure Gaiden confirms hes dead, just tries to have its cake too by featuring Ryuji in too much content
If Wesker is alive so is Mine. Unless he actually did bodysurf him down the hospital and land on him. Rikiya you can handwave by saying the reason why Nakahara and Mikio weren't able to help Kiryu and the orphanage was because they used all their money rehabilitating Rikiya and while he can't fight anymore he's somehow great at management.
Holy shit is there a more overrated franchise than this Weebslop???
Its Far Cry levels at this point.
isnt yakuza more or less keeping sega afloat these days?
Yeah, they are one trick developer now.
I dont hate them, but this franchise fucking sucks.
Persona (not SMT) makes them a lot of money too but they haven't really milked 5 hard yet for some reason
>but they haven't really milked 5 hard
Heh
there's only an anime, a dance game, and a dynasty warriors clone, and I guess that etrian odyssey style game
4 was milked at least twice as much
No, Sonic and Persona are far bigger. Yakuza games are maybe making 1 million sales at most, but they haven't said any of them have sold over a million since Judgment. They have said 7 was the best selling title in the west and you can extrapolate that as around 500k or higher because 6 was equal to Japanese sales (Which at the time were around 400k).
I stopped after the 5th game, it was already becoming shit around that time, now it's normalfag shit.
yakuza's plot is like jenga where past moves accumulate to fuck you up later
except RGG says fuck the rules
moments before disaster
why do people keep reposting this
is it a special cigarette that is 10x more likely to induce cancer?
Yeah, not like Kiryu isnt smoking in various cutscenes in the game, and not like he doesnt smoke 1 thousand packs in gameplay to charge his heat gauge
it's a precursor to his cancer diagnosis in Finite Health i guess
Precursor to his cancer even though he smokes like 12 packs per game AND can smoke in this game as well.
That ending fucked me up.
yeah i didn't expect it
>do pool with Tsuruno
>i got first and manage to sink one on the break
>try some retarded show to get the first ball knowing the angle was shit
>it bounces around, comes back to where i initially hit it from
>it hits another ball that then scoots over to hit and fucking sinks the 9
I could not fucking believe it.
Really not sure if the series is for me anymore. Endless Kiryu wank off, turn based switch and its not very good, switching the setting.
switching the setting is good though, we've done kamurocho and sotenbori to death
k cya
yong yea if he buff
nishitani's theme was the only one in gaiden that stood out to me. The OST's shift is the lowkey biggest decline for the series
You mean this garbage theme?
Please be bait.
if you said that specifically about the Coliseum, I'd understand, after all, it's pure sensory overload, so you can barely hear anything
but the Gaiden soundtrack is mostly electronic, something they've been delving into since Y6 and basically became their main focus with either JE or Y7, so it's not like they've suddenly shifted gears
also, this soundtrack fucking slaps, and the final boss OST is one of my personal favorites in the whole franchise, try getting yourself a new pair of ears
It’s funny how everyone whines about the rubber bullet twist. this new game has the rubber knife twist and no one is complaining.
Are they gonna drop Akame or is she gonna be in 8?
Akame is Kiryu's endgame
I really hope that this will happen but I know it won't. Their dynamic is the best dynamic Kiryu's had with any woman in the series.
What about the dynamic he had with Kaoru?
She moved on during 3
>Yokoyama makes it so in Kiryu's eyes Yumi was his only love, ever, in Y6
>suddenly, it's announced that Kaoru is back in IW
>but uh oh, Kiryu still has Yumi's ring, talks about a memory of theirs related to marriage, and reaffirms that she was his only love
jesus christ, it feels like Yokoyama has a bone to pick with Kaoru
>korean
racism runs deep. koreans may be people, but we'll never love them!
kiryu dropping off the ring at the church was him just fulfilling his promise to yumi and ending is burden, he now free to rawdog Ayame and have a good end with her and the kids at morning glory
I like you anon, only for your dedication for wanting Kiryu to fuck Ayame
nah he should impregnate Haruka
?si=sET9Qkguj3hLXZy7
>another LAD game
>another Akiyama omission
Shunbros...is it over?
He's in 8 as a summon
He was also meant to be in 7, but the VA was busy
He's already confirmed as a summon in 8
Yea. Liked gaiden more than I though I would and the demo for infinite wealth was just as good.
Joryu having such a great time in hawaii probably forgot all about those smelly kids by now
i honestly thought she was a goner here
She looks really goofy from afar
Whenever I see her ingame I feel there's something weird about her neck
Me too, I thought they'd kill her off here to explain why she won't appear in 8
>Akiyama comes back and funds Kiryu's cancer cure
>Dedicated Hana to contact the premiere cancer researchers after finding out.
>Super Chunk uses her secretary powers to direct his money to non-scam organizations.
>Actually gets a cure made for his specific cancer.
>turns out it was called Dragonoma, a fox-die-esque kill switch made by Daidoji to keep Kiryu in line
Where Tanimura at?
Where Shinada at?
Where Ukyo at?
yongbros...
I am honestly looking forward to Yong getting torn the hell apart when Gaiden's dub does come out. Yong is going to fuck up that final scene so much.
honestly AI Kuroda sounds way better for english than YONGYEEEEEA
just fire english VAs tbh (Richardson aside)
Just get the japs to do the engrish dub, it worked so well for Mine back in 3.
Some mad man is going to totally AI Darryl replace Yong isn't he?
If/when it happens, I want to see Yong's meltdown.
There are already mods in earlier Yakuza games like 0 and Kiwami 2 that add his voice for battle clips and non cutscene dialog which could probably be ported to Gaiden, the only thing that'd have to be done would be actual cutscenes.
I really don't care for the Hawaii setting at all.
>complain about muh rehashng settings
>complain when they change the setting
no winning with some homosexuals
I think Hawaii looks pretty good and the changing weather adds a whole lot to make it fresh.
I've been playing these games since 2008, and I'm exciting for Hawaii.
?si=yjMLGMUMXsz87DBi
>final boss arena switches to different parts of the Omi HQ just as Aizawa's did for the Tojo HQ
>still kino despite being reused assets
I love his new shotgun kick in Agent style. I can't believe he got his ass handed to him either way where he needs to switch to Dragon style (Karate). He's definitely mid-Z rank in the Lookism verse
?si=7EDDYt3xMqA8jVoM&t=4

No idea what that means

american moment
You literally copy pasted this from the last time this was posted. What the fuck is wrong with you
seething freedomless poors, better eat those bugs before they run off the plate
Can’t wait for the reveal that all the bosses from all the past yakuza games are alive and fight against kiryu one last time
to be fair, Shibusawa and Aizawa would have no reason to be dead.
i god i forgot no more yen
>All the circles on the ground to pick up nickles and dimes
People are really gonna waste their time picking up all these 5-10 yen worth of shit all over arent they
depends how good the cooking minigame(?) is because I found cooking ingredients too.
>want to play LAD:G
>remember I got bored of Ishin and stopped playing halfway through
>Dojima didn't die and has been a daidoji agent since 1995
It's so much better than ishin it's not even funny.
I actually really enjoyed both of the Infinite Wealth demos. I can't wait to play both FF7 Rebrith demos too.
lmao I noticed this too, both of the top 2024 JRPGs are going to have segwats as a new gameplay feature
it's the new photo-mode of the industry
>Infinite Wealth in Jan
>FF7 Rebirth in Feb
>giving a shit for ff7: fanfic edition
I bet you're the type that coom constantly, adding retarded porn mods
its not a fanfic if the original creative team is behind it
it's the sequel they've always wanted to make
eh western devs stopped mattering 20 years ago
It looks much more fun than Remake honestly
a shit for ff7: fanfic edition
yes
>>b-but, you have to pick one or the other
no
2023 was so stacked and it keeps going into 2023 jfc
we haven't ate this good in a long time
I'm just gonna wait on FF7 Rebirth. Seems like it's going to go on sale decently fast, or maybe they'll bundle it with some DLC down the line.
segways were a meme in japan last year. western devs wont care we had our segway thing over a decade ago.
>Kiryu crying at the end
>VA actually mimics voice loss from crying
>Have to outfit and gear up two fucking parties now
This will be a long game.
Akame owes me sex
Yong suited this character, but he can't pull off Kiryu.
Why was the Kaito Files so retarded bros?
Because Kaito is retarded?
Kaito files was great. I'm just glad they didn't cheap out with making it have zero lasting impact on Kaito with characters that would never be seen again, because I'm conditioned by past Yakuza games and DLC in general for them to stick hard to the status quo.
Him coming out of it with what's basically a wife and kid is great. No Yakuza protagonist gets to have that, even Yagami when he's obviously set up to be with the prosecutor woman but they have to keep him single so he can date 10 different girls in Judgement/Lost Judgement.
Doesn't Yagami get cucked in Gaiden?
No, I think at most one of the random women Kiryu takes a picture with in the castle looks like a random Yagami girlfriend? But there'd be no reason any of those would be on that boat so it's just model reuse.

Gaiden BTFOs 7 to an insane degree so I'm gonna assume Nagoshi was the problem
okay anon you win
>hawaii
no
>shitty y7 combat
no
gaiden btfos 6 too, and is actively trying to salvage kiryu's story while making the most of 6's retarded ending
>niggoshi dickrider
and nothing of value was lost. go back to chinese mobile games.
I understand the other two but I feel like Japanese devs trying to represent America is a recipe for the most hilarious side content in any of these games
y7 was already too goofy, I dont need more of that
you're not a real fan
I dont care what you think. Yakuza was Jdrama and now its Anime
it's always been a mix of both
fuck off with this low effort bait
kek this exactly what I thought too
retard
The games are played pretty straight, even the batshit nonsense like the Osaka castle in 2. 7 was a little bit too goofy but played it up with Ichiban being a loony.
and 7 still had plenty of serious and tear-jerking moments
>nagoshi direction
he included the worst parts of Kiwami so I'm glad he fucked off
>american couple
is that the hawaii version of Mr. Shakedown
Hey Lois, remember that time i was the captain of the Omi alliance?
lost a lot of weight in prison
maybe if 0sloppers bothered playing the older games we wouldnt have this problem
Anon 0 is like 10 years old at thie point
They have played the older games
I haven't, and I'm going to skip directly to LAD Gaiden and then proceed to argue with everyone about the story
>not liking both 7 and Gaiden
i feel bad for you
This is how 6 should have ended.
Checked the credits for Gaiden and noticed Hidenori Shoji didn't compose a single track for this game, he similarly composed only a few for 6
Aoki has a ton of variety in what she composes don't she
It does feel like what people would've expected when first hearing of 6 and it being 'the final game of kiryu's saga'
Chicken Man, level bond up to 3, use gun
Anyone else feel personally attacked by the restaurant sidequest for initially hating Kasuga in 2019 because he looked like a fucking nagger even though he kinda doesn't, as proven by the actual nagger showing up at the end? Kasuga even looks offended that people would think he looks like that
how the FUCK do I beat JUSTICE
Gaiden is one of the best games in the series. No bloat, good combat, the twists aren't complete bullshit.
my only gripe is the substories being a fucking list instead of organically found running around
I laughed at the ending when Shishido was fighting so hard to let the Omi live under the thumb of the government, and in the end the government picked up his body and acknowledged he would make a good agent for them.
I honestly thought he was going to fucking stab somebody like Tsuruno. Glad they didn't pull that shit because maybe we'll see those 3 in 8.
Shishido should just refuse to work for them and die
I don't want to sound rude but it has the same exact bloat as all previous games. Half of the main story is you being forced to grind Akame shit.
I think the most annoying aspect is I could ignore this if the coliseum wasn't such a throwaway feature - movesets of the extra characters are reduced for no fucking reason (despite them being in the game, like Daigo platinum fight having more moves than what you can access when playing as him), then you also don't unlock Gaiden bosses as playable characters because why the fuck would they add such a fun thing and then the coliseum missions just feature the same 4-5 fighters (where the horde mode has only green dudes and Ishin copy paste mini-bosses) when even the oldest coliseum had at least 20 if not more unique enemies to fight.
Fuck I swear they've been doing this on purpose since y4 to just dripfeed people minimal amount of content but maximum amount of busy/grindwork because long game = good game worth your money.
Kiwami 2 fucking SUCKS
I like it
K2's Kamurocho feels the most jam-packed out of all the games for me
A lot of female NPCs just have Mafuyu's hair. It's less obvious on ugly bitches, but once you pay attention, you cross paths with a lot of Mafuyu lookalikes
I can't wait to hear YongYea butcher the crying scene.
I look forward to seeing the massive backlash he'll deservedly get.
Gaiden has Kiryu's introduction scene from Yakuza 7 during the dissolution in it, so it will be really funny hearing the direct comparison
who played Kiryu in 7's dub? I never play the english dubs
Darryl Kurylo, the same dude who played him in the PS2 Yakuza 1.
?t=98
that's kino, hamill as majima would've been good too
>who played Kiryu in 7's dub?
the original va from the first game
the retard who voiced him in Y1s original english release
>the retard
normally I'd say "rude" but after seeing this..
7's dub was fine.
I tried it on a second playthrough and was surprised. Yong will make a terrible Kiryu though.
?si=GZMNeuefXp7SyJ9i
>this is "GOOD"
you've never heard a truly bad dub if you think this is bad
you've never heard a truly good dub if you think this is good
>ackshually other dubs are worse so this is actually good on a bell curve
yeah Hi there! Im working on the english dub of the hit Yakuza series, Im gonna need offbrand mark hamill and about 7....lets make it 10 Troy Baker knockoffs, can make sure every line is extra breathy too? THANKS!!!
?si=QCBtjPqj5cTU0vxi
the dub is real good!
you just think it's bad because you're too used to JP Majima
it could've been much worse
it could've been Yong voicing Kiryu
>you just think its bad because you expect a good dub
?si=fN12yMPjqIvJRs8n
stop putting words in my mouth
this dub isn't bad by any means
it's passable and there's much much worse out there
as someone said you just think it's bad because you're used to the japanese
>ITS NOT BAD
>ITS JUST NOT GOOD, ID SAY PASSABLE EVEN THOUGH IM FIGHTING TOOTH AND NAIL FOR A DOGSHIT ENGLISH DUB
fuck off
?si=q-p6FeT1YzYVNN7l
Are you okay anon? You seem to be having a bit of a meltdown.
>if I keep posting random videos and greentexting I'll eventually be right

you're trying too hard
I'd say he's not trying at all. Just having himself an autistic little melty.
Don't forget to take your meds.
Brian Bloom is pretty good at voicing antagonists.
what is the problem here exactly
7's dubs is one of the better vidya dubs out there
casing Yong as Kiryu was a huge fuck-up though
yong is barely worse than the rest of the cast. theyre all terrible
if this is the case then why is Yong the only one catching shit
>no autotune
Sounds soulful to me.
>this
>bad
thats okay
this is bad
?si=Tjnt_21okkND7-ha
You'd have probably killed yourself if you lived in the PS1 days if you think that is bad.
there's only a few major problems I have with the dub and that's mainly that I think the guys they cast for dudes like Majima, Saejima and Daigo sound off and that somehow they allow every actor to pronounce japanese/korean words different from one another in the same scene.
lol if this is bad I really want to hear what a good dub sounds to you.
just a reminder that if you find a dub to be cringe, the fault usually rests on the original japanese having cringy dialogue as well, but you don't notice it because you don't comprehend the language
i agree with the issue mainly because Matt Mercer is ridiculously miscast as Majima.
FYI majima's JP voice acting is fucking cringe to japanese people
>normally I'd say "rude" but after seeing this..
what's he supposed to do? say "fuck them, should've been me!" you have to line up with the group in the voice acting world or else you get cancelled and thrown out like Vic and Wendee Lee
I did because the dub has solid voices like Ichiban's (rivaled the jap VA during the Masato breakdown seen). Kiryu's old VA was nice. Not great but not bad either
Y7s english dub is fucking awful and sick of you dubfags dishonestly saying hentai quality english dub = GOATED
>this instant seething
kek
t. Someone who has never watched dubbed hentai
NOW CLUCK LIKE A CHICKEN!
I was leaning towards Bible Black's dub but whatever gets ya going
It's from bible black's dub.
I thought that one was from Step Sister.

>one of the first things that happens in the demo being kiryu's car being jacked

>black Monday
why did they call it this?
I thought it was a reference to that the cure song

Black Friday is the most popular clearance sale day, so Black Monday evokes some of the same feeling for how much product they sell as an arms smuggling group.

Waiting to see what the word of mouth is with Infinite Wealth. Loved Y7, but a lot of the premise was the novelty of having a protag that sees the world through the eyes of a DQ game, and contextualizes everything around that. You can't exactly do that kind of narrative setup two games in a row.
I want a lot of boisterous American NPCs.
HAHAHAHAHA
Daaaaad you're embarrassing me.
To be fair though, Daigo isn't allowed to be in his element. If he was near-dead with a gun in his hand, no one would stand a chance.
>all this running back to Akame when this shit could be done on a phone
They never take several steps forward with these games, the mind numbing part of going back to turn shit in or grab new shit and getting 3+ requests in one go is slow as fuck.
Also why is the default option when trying to use an item is NO ? Trying to spam heal or heat is so annoying
>Download Man with No Name
>find out in need to play a whole series
Fucking hate it when this happens.
0, Kiwami 1&2, 3 4 5 6, and two Like a Dragon games?
just play 0, 6 and 7, the other games are mostly unimportant in the bigger scale of things
yes the entire yakuza numbered series + you just need to play like a dragon (aka yakuza 7)
For things like this maybe the 0fag schizo had a point
If it shows up on goypass I'll give it a try
How will they reuse Hawaii is they ever make a new Judgement?
I don't want them to reuse Hawaii for Judgement. I want them to fully commit and do a spinoff set entirely in Hawaii that uses old American actors known for crime/detective shows and movies.
Sugiura and Tsukumo's tech-focused detective agency leads to getting tangled up in a tech billionaire startup/conspiracy, with the basis being Mark Zuckerberg's land grab lawsuit.
Or Kaito's girlfriend/kid having settlement/insurance money and being used to extravagant vacations like that from the evil rich guy she was married to before, and he brings Tak as a +1 to basically be a babysitter for Jun. Then get into US vs Japan law stuff.
despite the story being completely retarded and unnecessary, the ending fucking got me tbh
>the drawing by Haruto that refers to him as grandpa
this always happens in yakuza, even 0 had these moments where you get an incredible tear-jerker but its fueled by a retarded plot to get there. To be fair to gaiden though its trying to work within the confines of the BS 6 left for nu-RGG
I think the only one that felt right to me was Makoto calling Majima a good guy at the takoyaki stand. Perfect woman tbh.
The 0 writer is good at making heartbreaking moments, I look forward to his games. Maybe judgment 3 will come out anytime now.
It really is holy kino and honestly majima in 0 is just such a better character than every other incarnation
It was kinda gigabased that Taichi and Ayako were the ones that found the camera and recorded the message for Kiryu.
They've now left open the possibility of a heartfelt reunion with Haruka and Haruto in Infinite Wealth.
I would play a Taichi game
It would be funny to see him use his Climax Heat Move "Super Taichi Kick"
Damn, Ayako grew up pretty. Taichi also looks rather based.
How old are the kids now anyway? It would be nice to see them all again.
Taichi and Ayako are the oldest ones after Haruka and they're like early 20s. Haruka is 27.
>all of Kiryu's kids are in their twenties
>Haruka is around the same age as Kiryu in the Yakuza 1 intro
>Haruka is 27
Holy shit, they suddenly caught up to me in age. I wonder how weird it feels for people who actually have been playing since Yakuza 1 launch.
They're in their 20s
Haruka is around the same age as Kiryu in the Yakuza 1 intro
I think the youngest orphans that Kiryu had were born in 2001 so all of Kiryu's kids are in their twenties. Haruka is 27 in Infinite Wealth.
This message completely fucked me up. It was really nice getting an update on all the kids. Worth all the retardation everywhere else in the game.
Yakuza/LAD unironically should not have a dub. It's self sabotage as you're butchering the scenes for people who don't know any better and pick English.
I suppose in their point of view, they got a sale out of the person that picks English, and hope to hype them for a repeat sale with 8 which is in burgerland where they would feel more comfortable
You think in LAD 12 we'll get Haruto as the main protag
If the series lasts long enough then I feel like it's inevitable that Haruto will end up involved.
Nah, probably best friend to new MC
>yongyea's first job as kiryu is the very emotional crying scene never seen from prior titles
man everything is stacked against him
How do I get the 2nd hit of agent style to launch enemies in extreme heat mode? Sometimes it'll juggle dudes and other times it just knocks them over.
Imagine getting upset over voices in a video game.
No way it's not autism.
So, who is Y8s final boss?
It's going to be the Bleach Japan guy and in the time between 7 and 8, he got super jacked
Probably the government/political faction against Daidoji
doesn't it make more sense to be the daidoji since they're enslaving yakuza
Daidoji sent Kiryu to Hawaii to find Kasuga's mom. Since they know Kiryu wont kill anyone, they probably need her protected from their opposing faction
wheelchair guy
My only concern is the combat. Will it be good this time?
the only improvement weve seen is that kiryu has a limit break which allows him to not use the dogshit rpg combat, I expect orbital lazer spam again
jesus fucking christ that's terrible. couldn't they just ask some other people at sega how it's done?
Kek, you can tell this mental case is actually fucking livid.
I've heard about the news so let me give you some very old meme from circa 2019.
They only put in a dub for streamers.
Hence why they are now hiring them.
rip shishido's asshole
>making this nutjob an agent
>kids find their shitty camera
they really are fucking retarded
English Seonhee sounds fine, I am not looking forward to hearing how Yong's interjections will sound when they're added though.

>Infinite Wealth is getting a physical release
>The Man Who Erased His Name is digital only
SEGA, plz.
>Ending of 8
>Kiryu's leash is gone thanks to Ichiban and co
>Kiryu needs immediate treatment for his cancer after the final boss
>The operation is a success but his survival will depend on his will to live
>Ichiban got Haruka, Haruto and the orphans to Hawaii
>They are all standing next to his bed asking him to return
>He hears them asking one by one to come back to them, Haruto being the last one to ask Ojichan to make it
>Their wishes give him the will to survive
Would you cry?
He'll have a scene where he beats up a figurative cancer in a dream while undergoing experimental Daigoji surgery so he can join the gang for the finale.
You WILL Tiger Drop cancer.
I would if Haruto was his son
>DSP hasn't played Gaiden
it's fucking over
are there any good TIHYDP videos from the Yakuza or Judgment games?
After playing the demo I'm actually a little less excited. Hawaii seems cool and all, but combat really doesn't seem all that changed and it was my biggest gripe by the end of 7. It has promise, but it needs more or at least Im hoping there's a good bit more in the final release.
I mean, turn based jrpg is all the same. All they can change is how bosses interact with the system.
>Saturday Night Lover reverberated his entire car, making it pulsate even as the 500 yen Staminan circulated through his thick powerful veins

skill issue
for all the dicksucking Dragon Quest ichi does, youd think theyd made some decent fucking combat that feels good
how do you make turn-based combat "feel good"
obviously by adding a bunch of QTE's to keep you engaged
yuji horii did it no fewer than 10 times
contrarians will have no answer
not making endgame trash mob fights take 8 fucking minutes is a good start.
skill issue
youre a casual who never beat the true millennium tower
sounds like a skill issue to me bro
persona 5 and FFT feel good to me
Because they have balanced skills and synergies that make fights quick and satisfying when you make use of the mechanics
>zoomers want fights to go quick
fights are supposed to be quick when theres fucking thousands of them. one fat guy and his bros outside the shake shack, all of which dont even have names, shouldnt take 15 minutes
What the fuck are you talking about? FFT is one of the slowest RPGs around.
>Fast snappy animations
LAD's animations are usually fast
>Good animations so you don't quickly get bored of them
LAD's are a bit basic a lot of the time
>Strategy in combat
completely fucking missing
>Party synergy
LAD feels like you're playing 4 individuals instead of party that works with each other
>don't HP sponge
LAD is guilty of this in many places. Tendo and tigers literally takes forever to kill even though they pose almost no threat to you leading to a boring drawn out fight
A good blueprint for a turnbased game is something like Persona or Shin Megami Tensei. If you utilize the game mechanics, even bosses can be felled rather fast. Enemies hit fast and hard but don't have excessive HP.
oh i forgot to mention, PRUNE THE FUCKING SKILL LIST
It's insane how literally 90% of your moves are completely useless dog shit.
Even persona 5's bosses are boring pinata outside the gimmick ones (crow, sae, shido). The thing with yakuza is, it took place in real life so no clones, substitutes, suicide bombers etc as boss gimmick.
>took place in real life
is that why the naked slip n slide oil guys are a frequent enemy? Their enemy design is just lazy is the real problem
Yeah but the bosses and important battles don't have imaginations in them
they dont. They almost get it with Kiryu but even then its not enough. Kiryus fight needed you fighting a fucking dragon in a snakeball of other dragons, it needed to go all the way, instead its middle ground and BORING
and the qtes still show ichi fighting alone anyway, so immersion breaking
cant wait to see which party members arent programmed into the games cutscenes this time!
yumi is the head of daidoji
Yume* is the head of daidoji
When is this bongfuck going to release the 6 video?
>zero info on his Patreon page (I'm not paying him just to ask a question)
>he posted a clip of Y6 I think almost a year ago
>then posted a clip of K2 around 2 months ago
it's definitely coming, but god knows when
I got your head of Daidoji right here.
oh he's fucking back alright
Man there are so many people banished to the prison dimension that could just be out by this point in the timeline. It's weird.
Like what is Arai going to do when he gets out of jail? Meet up with Akiyama?
Sub > Dub but in no way is 7's dub "bad". It's passable, and the guy playing Ichiban is actually pretty good.
Don't care, if a series wasn't dubbed from the start, don't bother. All it does is bring in shitty secondaries.
But it was dubbed from the start.
>bring in shitty secondaries
0 wasn't dubbed, and it did that.
Only the first game. They ditched the idea.
I imagine they thought since Mark Hamill did Joker, he would probably have been a good Majima...
I thought the general consensus was that the dub is okay, not amazing, and Ichiban did a great job. It's just that Infinite Wealth's dub will be brought down by Yong's dub so much that it'll make it drastically worse in comparison.
I actually wiped a few times in 7, so I like the combat. I think people are just saying it's bad for the sake of it. It doesn't feel much different from DQXI.
>inb4 dq autists lose their shit
Did they add in more control over your party positioning in this one? Was probably my main complaint about LaD7 since it influences who you're hitting in AoEs, or how your group is going to be hit if they're being dumbasses and clustering near each other.
you can walk around a bit in a circle area and if you friends are in it you do additional attacks
7's turn-based combat is unbalanced as fuck. That's the real issue with it.
HURRDURR SKILL ISSUE
seriously though I was hoping 8 would scale the moves up, but it looks like just 7 but more. 7s regular moves needed to be more bombastic, and all the other moves needed to stop being offsite prebaked cutscenes
For some reason, my game keeps crashing on PC. It didn't at all until today, and now it has 5 times in the past 3 hours. No consistency to why (sometimes while running, in cutscene, mid-combat), no message notifying it crashed or error report, just instant crash to desktop.
Any ideas on what could be causing that? I don't have any browsers or discord open or anything, and the computer's not overheating at all either.
Why don't they get Atlus to help them make the turn-based combat decent if they're going to completely butcher the franchise? No wonder Nagoshi left.
they probably should but tbh leave the job system in, it's fucking hilarious and tonally fits great with the series
jobs are great
the moves need to be bigger, ichi says so himself that fights are basically what his psychosis pretends the fights are, so they need to be wilder and crazier and not just the poundmates moves they also still need to be snappy and fast
>Mob is burger element
>Use pizza element to crit and knock down
>Party rush for massive damage
They could just start copying with 8.
If they're not going to improve the boring turn based combat system, at least improve the combat camera and make it like I'm watching a cutscene to make it more exciting instead of just showing the back of unit
SMT IV is quite frankly, a perfect turn-based RPG.
RGG should look into copying the greats.
id take a more faithful copy of dq or smt or anything fucking else. DQ fights can be over in like 10 seconds if you do the right moves, Yakuza is a SLOOOOOG in the late game
SMT combat is also boring as shit
Spam weakness and you win
At least make it interesting like Saga Scarlet grace
It absolutely is not. Universal HP/MP types, no real defensive stats, smirk is unbalanced as all fuck and random, attack stats are linear additions to damage with every single type of attack they effect, it is just a thoroughly unbalanced game that's extremely simplistic. Hit weaknesses, things die, the end.
Yakuza 5 is so boring I almost want to skip it. I loved all of them up to this one.
Yeah Yakuza 5 is trash. Just blitz the main story and move on. 6 is significantly better.
Where are you in the story?
If haruka then I agreed that shit's boring
samefag
retard
nice try
wait til you get to what you think is the ending, and then theres like another hour at least. Saejimas segment in the winter city fucking suuuuucks
The only good part of 5 is the music and Haruka's activities.
5 Is a real fan's favourite.
All the homies love the hunting minigame
best side content and minigames
maximum virtual vacation with 5 cities
yep
only 0fags play yakuza for the story
true every time I see criticism for 5 it's from newfags trying to rush the games to catch up
>best side content
no
>minigames
no
>5 cities
that have nothing in them because they stretched one city's minigames over 5 of them
>no
>no
>OMG I LOVE INITIAL D TAXI!
>OOOH LET ME SPEND 5 HOURS PLAYING A PS1 TIER HUNTING GAME!
>MANDATORY KARAOKE MMM YES!
>LE HECKIN REDDIT BASEBALL MAN!

>frogposter filtered
It didn't filter shit. I slogged through that garbage to get to the better games.
nobody cares 0fag
>5slopper randomly brings up 0 out of nowhere
it's funny how threatened you feel by the objectively superior game
I like 0. I just dislike latecomer 0fags who think their opinions matter. Frogposting ones no less.
This series was dead in the West before 0. You should be thanking it otherwise you would've had to learn Japanese.
>This series was dead in the West before 0
It was niche, but not dead.
5 almost didn't get localized and took 3 whole years to release in the West.
0 was unironically the last chance.
Seethe, we saved this franchise. RGG caters to 0chads now.
spoken like a true 0fag
more like before 0 released on Steam, and also it was more niche than dead at that point
>you would've had to learn Japanese.
It should've stayed that way, fuck you normie 0fag trash
nobody asked you colossal homosexual
6 is way worse
shut the fuck up secondary
How would they reuse Hawaii in all future games?
It's very far away and doesn't really have any Yakuza lore
real fans imported 5 and know the struggle
the day it was localized was magical
I imported the mainland chinese version that came with a small booklet that was the script for them. Of course, I can't read either chinese or japanese, so I played through the game via google translating a japanese yahoo wiki page for the game and matching whatever correct choice was in brackets to what I saw on screen.
It really made me like Yakuza 5, I thought somehow the smaller Yakuza family in Kiryu's story was the Omi and the paper Kiryu got from the old man was naming him the new chairman or something.
>kiryu getting a taste of his own chandler treatment at the end of Gaiden
soul
They added a circle you can position yourself in, which was basically my only ask from 7.
yeah i welcome that addition
this game felt like a Y5 2 tonally
with shishido and hidden identity
it definitely feels more of a proper send off to kiryu than 6 ever was
also haruto is the same age as haruka in Y1 in Y8, fuck… im old
I'm glad they cut down the QTEs. Having a few is fine IMO.
She looks ugly
Is this what ESG money does to a game?
>Kashitga
No thanks
Kuroda really upped his crying game. His acting killed me during the end of Gaiden.
so why is kiryu crying at the end of gaiden?
play the game and find out
My dad said he wont let me play it unless someone tells me why hes crying
he misses his kids
Tell your dad he’s a homosexual raising a homosexual son
He cut some onions
Underage anon...
Reddit is too blocks down the street
Because he’s sad
>chad became a fireman
what happened to the black kid
Freeter according to Taichi which is just someone who has no real solid career path and just works a bunch of part time jobs.
BEAUTIFUR
EYES
>Entry tribalism in a serie where every entry have the same gameplay and use the same locations
Yeah man Yakuza 7 plays exactly like Kenzan
What is Yakuza 7? Never heard of it
There's only Yakuza 6 and they renew the serie with Like a Dragon which is a different series from yakuza
kamurocho wasn't even in Gaiden
>cohh had to walk off camera to cry
lek
>>cohh
stopped watching him since he uses English dub
>Ecelebs
have a nice day and do a favor to this shit website by doing that
franchise is run by them now
REJECT THE WITCH!
How the fuck did Richardson survive getting suplexed off the ruff of a skyscraper?
Is he nice now because brain damage?
Is this is twin brother (not in the CIA)?
he's nice because the daidoji is an abstract concept manifested, essentially the spirit of "the friends we made along the way"
kiryu's path to closure and inner peace is understanding that he never really had enemies
>There never was a Daidoji it was just a brain tumor from the cancer causing hallucinations
Thought Y7 was shit but I gotta say Y8 seems kinda based in some ways
combat is still boring but Kiryu being there and being able to break that shitty turn-based system is cool
overall just Kiryu being there will make it a better game than 7, yeah sure they didn't need to bring him back but in Gaiden they manage to justify his return pretty well and at least he's way more interesting than Ichiban the crying bitch. Hawai is kino, kinda reminds me of that Okinawa vibe in Y3 it's refreshing.
Oh and if they're retarded enough to bring back Richardson then bring back Mine he was fucking based and I hope he'll team up with Kiryu.
My only wish for Y8 is that Kiryu uses Nanba the same way he used that waiter in the Snake Flower hideout
But yeah Kiryu's "dour but while muted still lowkey comical and wacky" attitude will probably gel a lot better with an eclectic cast of jrpg companions
what does Kiryu "breaking" the turn based even mean? does he have his Gaiden moveset?
His special attack allows you to button mash to attack a single enemy while he doesn't move or block and people act like its a big deal.
you can attack multiple enemies and it does a lot of damage so it's based
that's the only good thing about the combat
reminder that even /ourguy/ devilleon hates Yakuza 5
you do not belong here if you like snorekuza 5
Devilleon is reddit Moose
>haruto's drawing says grandpa
he misspelled it btw
why did suzuki killed joryu
He once again felt the need to Drive
suzuki needs to run over daidoji with a taxi (non-fatally of course)
his new look is growing on me
>there's already a mod to play with this model in Gaiden
>there's also a mod that unlocks all the abilities, so you can do a pseudo NG+ run
definitely going to replay Gaiden someday with these mods, just imagine the Shishido fight that haircut.
god damn that ending hit me like a trick
do you think those absolute hacks will bring nishiki back at some point
nishiki founded daidoji
I wholeheartedly believe ryuji WILL be back
UH BRO
>more bodydouble shit
YAWN
Is more realistic to believe that Ryuji is going to return, at this point even Mine
Nu uh. LJ is the last one in the series for me.
why not gaiden?
It's just a fanfiction game with modern memes, ecelebs, and western pandering.
I'm not the target audience anymore.
What western pandering ? Yesterday I saw people saying the game was sexist because of the cabaret
stop feeding the trolls
>Unlock pocket circuit
>Spend 2-3 hours on it before continuing the main story
I did the same thing with the akane network and coliseum when they unlocked and I swear IDK how these games get me so distracted with the side stuff
she'll be in infinite wealth
I loved Like a Dragon. I liked the corporation mini game A LOT.
certain things like this and 0's hostess game could be sold as their own things for like $20-30 easily
I fully expect the animal crossing minigame to better than New Horizons
I hated Y7 overall story and characters but that mini game was my favorite thing
>I liked the corporation mini game A LOT
It's one of the worst money minigames. I fucking hated it.
well apparantly it was worse before you got a bunch of free charity super duper rares
Yeah that's the worst minigame aside from the 3 and 4 hostess shit. Like 0's Kiryu minigame but they make you fucking sit in menus for like 6 hours straight watching bars go up and the entire game's economy is gated around doing it
How the fuck do you enjoy the management minigame? It's honestly braindead. You fast forward through bars filling four times in a row. There's no gameplay, you just fucking watch bars fill up. After that, you play color matching rock paper scissors at a meeting. You do this over and over and over again. At least 50 times if you want to finish the storyline and get rank 1.
You'd have to be the dumbest person alive to find this engaging.
actually Kiryu has rubber cancer and Yumi is Akame from Daidoji clan and watches over Kiryu and Ichiban is Kiryu's son
>it wasn't a tumor
>just some rubber lodged in him
>Did I say Cancer? I meant high cholesterol! ease up on the salt big guy!
I wish this game had a buisness management minigame. Spent hours with it in 0/7
my dicc
WHY DIDN'T THEY PUT PHANTASY STAR ON THE MASTER SYSTEM GAMES IN GAIDEN???
joryu the chud destroyer
>they put Akimoto in as a super weak joke character with a drunk moveset
that's funny
Haruka should fight alongside Kiryu in Y8
Haruka will be a poundmate
oh haruka's a pound mate alright
Infinite Wealth looks kinda fun bruv
