Yeah right on red is always allowed unless specifically prohibited with a sign, to the extent that you’re expected to always make the turn if safely possible. But it’s not a yield sign, because you have to stop completely every time. You can roll a yield sign at full speed if the way is clear, whereas that would be highly illegal at a red light. Also, fun fact, you can turn left on red if both streets are one-way, though few people would risk testing this rule with a cop watching.

As much as I loved the original game it really felt like combat was made by an inexperienced team there was so much stuff that made no sense or was really really really poorly balanced. I'm super happy to see how much improvements and thoughts have been put in the "new" combat system it looks a lot better. I'm still a bit skeptical about jobs but the skill slot system makes me cautiously optimistic. I really hated the job progression in the first game it pushed you into never swapping job during a casual playthrough or grind like crazy if you wanted to 100% the game there was no real in-between realistically. It was really odd.

That's interesting. I liked the combat in 7 but the random encounters were too common, I had times I tried to run down 1 single street and had 3 separate fights before I made it halfway. It wasn't that common in previous games, and even then their combat lent itself to the random street fights and you could do different styles/moves that way. Spamming the basic attack to just get on with the combat encounter and keep moving isn't fun. And it actually hindered my enjoyment of the world and environment at times.

I'm already absolutely loving the enemy names in this game. "Bogus Barney" "Dance Dictator" "Misdemeanor Wiener"

It also makes sense if Kaito inherits the brawler style, the Kaito Files (2022) takes place AFTER Joryu and Kaito meet in Sotenbori (2019) so he could've been inspired from all the fighting he'd seen Joryu do Edit: also, the "no turn on red" sign? I live in Canada, we drive on the right side of the road. Usually, we're allowed to turn right at a red light (if there is no oncoming traffic from the left) because it doesn't cross in front of any other cars, like going straight across would. Some places have signs that prohibit a "right on red".

26:04 This actually will drive you towards a waypoint you put down if you turn on auto-cruise. Thought that was really cool for long distance travel.

Great vid. Fun fact about the no turn on red sign: its for right turns during a red light because as long as there is an opening you can generally take a right turn.

1. Hawaii is not a great representation of what the U.S. is actually like. 2. You can always turn right at a red light in the U.S., unless specifically posted otherwise.

It's too bad that they didn't add a button in combat to bring up Sujidex info on an enemy to see their weaknesses and resistances. Like you can in Persona. Or a visual indicator in the skill menu in battle saying "Weak" if there's an enemy that's weak to one of your skills.

Absolutely love this breakdown, thank you!!

You know its a good day when snowiest angeman uploads😊😊😊

So many great changes, and I'm delighted to see it.

Dude, this video is so awesome. It'll probably also be helpful even after the game comes out.

When I played the demo, I was just super happy to see Waikiki Beach. I've been to Hawaii once and the game does a good job capturing the look and feel of Honolulu.

I appreciate that levelling up gives you the most stats now because it means it's easier to switch jobs as you like, and with Skill Inheritance possibly allowing you to take any skill it encourages switching around your job since you can take your other good skills with you so you won't have to part with a job with only 2 skills/none at all depending on level. I also liked what they did with Samurai as the replacement for Bodyguard; it has more of an identity and has more variety both on skills and effects. But that don't matter I'm looking forward to having my whole team as cowboys thank you RGG.

35:13 there’s actually a lot of occurrences of this in the trailers, it looks like the characters portraits depend on their costumes (which change outside of jobs) IE ichiban with ponytail, chitose with different hair, I forget what specifically but Adachi has two.

I appreciate your work here

Great video!! Can't wait for the game. Regarding the point about kid NPCs walking around in the town and if other games have done that; I am playing through Yakuza 3 for the first right now and was surprised to see kids running around town in Okinawa.

Ad an American this is the first video I have ever seen by you and.... you've earned a subscriber. We are dumb and I have no idea why we do half the shit we do. But! I am excited for Like a Dargon: Infinite Wealth. I have been a fan of the series forever, and the amount of stuff you extracted from the demo makes me even more excited. Thanks for the indepth look before it comes out!

I noticed that hits don't remove Status ailments like Fear, Stun, Silence and Rage (I don't know if hits removed Silence and Rage in LAD). Hits still remove Sleep though. And from the RGG roundup demo, it looks like MP points have been decreased a bit (around 30% maybe).

Really nice video my man! I've made some notes during it and I'd like to share them with you for some clarification: >Searching around in gamefaqs, some people said that, apparently, the blue number thing in Y7 was some kind of weakness to a command prompt skill; >The battle menu buttons in Portuguese and Spanish mean pretty much the same thing to the English ones, but could be better. "Más" and "Mais" mean more, they could've kept the "Etc." as we latinos do use et cetera too. "Habilidades" and "Ataque" from both languages mean skills and attack, respectively, so it doesn't change much. "Guardia" means guard, but "Defesa" means defense. I kinda get the sudden change in Portuguese, as "Guarda" actually is more related to guard as in the job or the boxing stance. Other option is "Bloqueio" that means block; >Dexterity in Y7 works basically like you said Agility would in Infinite Wealth, except the turn order part, it boosts critical hit ratio+damage;

About the no turn on red sign at 25:00, there are some intersections where you are able to turn right at a red light because no car with a green light can enter that lane, so we specify when that isn't possible. It is kinda weird to think theres an exception in the first place though.

I come back to this video after having played the game to say that there is a pretty neat reason as to why they changed the different styles colors. Possible slight spoilers ahead* Its shown in the lvl 24 dragon of dojima skill called "Essence of Remembrance" that each color reflects a character, Brawlers Blue is representing Kiryu's Blue Dragon, Beasts Yellow is actually Gold representing Ryuji's Gold Dragon and Rush's Red is representing Nishiki's Koi.

Infinite Wealth has the best turn based combat I've ever experienced. It's really not even close. I loved every second of my playthrough.

in the previous games, the lack of kids wasn't too unbelievable for me due to the fact most of them literally take place in a red light district where you wouldn't think there would be a whole lot of kids anyway

fun little detail about the Segway if you set a waypoint and then turn on cruise mode it will automatically drive you there.

25:12 Idk how it is in other countries but here in the States, as long as there's no sign that says otherwise, you can always make a right turn on a red light as long as you stop first and, most importantly, when it's safe to do so. This sign here is meant to say you can't make a turn (left or right) on red no matter what. Just wanted to clarify a bit. EDIT: Worth noting this is dependent on the state. The example I used being for (Dani) California in particular.

35:17 DAMN you nailed that detail about Chitose's hair, lmao

Proximity bonuses improve as you level up both Ichiban and Kiryu. Back attacks are guaranteed criticals so always go for those. Kiryu gains more Heat actions as you level his subsystem along with more of his old Dragon abilities, like the ability to counter-attack upon Perfect Guard. There's a lot more obviously. Kiryu and Ichiban's subsystems are very indepth, sadly not so for the rest of the cast. But, fortunately, after you unlock Bond level 100 you get 6 slots to use Skill Inheritance on, and ANY skill from a MASTERED Job can be pinched. Also, the way they have Brawler, Rush and Beast is fine. You have to consider that when the style names originally came out, they were intended for Yakuza 0, a time PRIOR to Kiryu developing his legendary Dragon style which is supposed to be an amalgamation of all his styles. But because it was astronomically popular, they brought style switching back here which is a cool decision... there's no point using actual old 'Brawler' for Kiryu since that is basically an UNTRAINED style, prior to Kiryu's training with Komaki... It makes perfect sense to just call the 'default' Brawler coz that's basically what it is. Rush and Beast are obvious, and the amalgamation of all 3 makes 'Dragon of Dojima' aka Legend style.

great overview of trhe changes

my man analyzed the turning animations

As someone who is form Hawaii, I really like how accurate with the details RGG studios made!!! I mean it's a given because places like Kamurocho are near identical to Kabukicho. I can't wait for the game to come out!!! Also, the turn on red sign and the shitty credit card scanners are things that exist....

The Like/Subscribe feature actually works! :O Subscribe got a rainbow outline when you said subscribe at 36:31.

I’m sure it’s just because of the limited gameplay shown, but I do hope combat proves to be a challenge. I play too much SMT and would love to have another game to challenge myself/suffer to. I also hope they come up with a better grinding dungeon than the first. Something about going through tunnel after tunnel was just miserable.

The more I see of this game the more I cannot wait to play it. Played Yakuza Like A Dragon for the first time last year and adored it (got all the achievements for it), so seeing everything I loved from that game here and improved? My excitement is through the roof (ruff) and this video made me more excited for it considering I never got to play the demo and only checked out the trailers mainly.

if you mark a destination on the map and turn on auto-cruise on your segway, it will automatically follow the path, making it way less likely for you to hit cars

I WAS going to say that it would be neat to have one of the game set in mainland USA, however our cities for the most part wouldn't work with Yakuza/Like A Dragon's play style very well unless you want to walk along a stroad for over 20 minutes.

Funny you mentioned Funk goes on cuz it's in the final game for Kamurocho street fights, which is quite fitting.

I actually didn't know about the MP gain on basic attacks, despite playing the demo. Nice vid. Also, if you ever make another video on stuff that gets arbitrarily added and removed, make sure to bring up the 4k30fps mode. It was there in 7, gone in Judgment Remastered, there in Lost Judgment, gone in Ishin Kiwami, Gaiden, and now this.

the blue damage is when you sucessfully press the button prompts in your skills (the +dmg thing). because of that, it shows the value of it with the actual button prompt. if your skill is just a basic one that doesn't has any button prompts, the damage color will be white like any other one. i did that test by doing a skill based prompt attack twice: failing at the +dmg prompt you get white, and blue if i succeed. but ofc, if its a critical damage, then it shows yellow instead of blue. took me a while but that's what i think it is, based from what im currently playing from LAD.
