I love that Yakuza can completely transform from a goofy but dramatic soap opera beat 'em up, to a full on Dragon Quest parody now complete with a very similar "monster taming" mechanic that still has the same goofy but dramatic soap opera story. It's the one video game series that has made me cry with every new entry I play. They certainly know how to tug on the ol heartstrings. Ryu Go Gotoku Studio should get way more recognition than they do, while every game isn't perfect they clearly know what they're doing.

The ending of Yakuza 6 absolutely broke me into tears. I have to agree, if you follow all the Yakuza games from 0 to Infinite Wealth then you are in for an absolutely amazing and surprisingly coherent, rollercoaster of emotions, storyline, with so many details carrying over from game to game just by looking at how the maps change. It is remarkable how RGG does it, but taking Yakuza across several places in the world is such a logical next step and they seem to be pulling it off so well. I'm very excited how long they can carry a torch burning so bright, if not brighter and brighter for each game. I want nothing else but for Yakuza to continue become a greater reaching franchise, the longer it goes, and so far they are wide in that success.

I was a big fan of Yakuza 7, and am definitely going to buy this game... in a few months when it inevitably goes 50% off. Like most Sega games do. Too many games are coming out this year, and spending 70 dollars on all of them is bad money management. Also the New Game+ being stuck behind a pay wall is a terrible precedent to let slide with the mentality of " yU nOt gunnA RE-PlaY GamE Cuz it 2 LooooNg" is brain dead stupid. This sets a terrible precedent that other game studios could absolutely adopt.

This game is phenomenal, I just can't stop playing. It's got every game in it too, Pokemon, Animal crossing, there's probably a 2D Mario game and FPS later down the line. It takes a little bit to take off with its slow early story, but I got hooked once they gave me a swegway.

I laughed pretty hard when you described the side content. I've never played any of these games, but this one looks so insane. I have to experience it lol

*Hey Falcon I'm a big JRPG fan myself, did you ever get the chance back in the day to give Rogue Galaxy on the PS2 a try? It was the first JRPG that I ever tried & within minutes of playing I couldn't put the controller down & just like that became addicted to trying every JRPG that I could find & I was just wondering what your opinion is on Rogue Galaxy if you ever got the chance to play it*

I'm definitely picking this up day one with deluxe edition, I don't know how they set the price but in my currency LAD7 and LADIW base games both share the same price tag, plus deluxe edition of LADIW only costs me an extra equivalent of 3 US dollars, according to steamdb my currency ranks the 2nd cheapest out of all currencies that steam uses to sell this game

Thanks Falcon, great video. This is my next game on the list.

In yakuza lad it was shown the enemies are actually kasugas imagination running wild because of his love for dragon quest.

I really want to get into Like a Dragon. So many games. Thanks for this video.

It is hard to explain a Yakuza game to someone who never played one. You did an amazing job. The game series always have a hard time balancing story content with actual gameplay. But since i don´t have a solution to this problem it is best just to soak the story content in and wait patiently for being able to play the game again.Heck in the end, it is mostly the stories why i return to this franchise.

I love Yakuza series, but I hate the monetization for this one. This is a full price AAA game at 70$ and while I still not agree with that price I can accept it, but now, pay-walling a basic feature like new game+ is beyond greedy, is plain evil. Yes, not everyone likes playing multiple times the same game after finishing the story, specially JRPGs since they are not usually very replayable since they are usually grindy and linear, but the are still people that like to do that, specially when the games are really really good like Yakuza, and this also a basic feature when you are trying to complete all achievements/trophies, and making that more difficult or time consuming is such bs.

@Renegado140

Hit the nail on the head there. From some comments I've received, it's not a money issue since games can be costly and something like this having so much content is worthy of the 70 dollar price tag BUT, I don't agree in trying to rip players off by removing a feature that's been in previous titles with no price tag. There's no defending this kind of practice cause if they can get away with it they will do that for every single game along with the rest of the industry if we normalize that kind of business practice.

I finished the game yesterday and it's seriously one of the BEST games i have ever played.

Its not simply the matter of New game plus, its the matter of, let me repeat it, more and more systems getting `removed` and charged as additional costs, then simply leaving them alone. Since as repeated: The bloody game already costs an extra 10 bucks because of the PS5 horse in the room. Throw in the fact that people normally play video games to get the fk away from reality to just have fun, like people do the same for paying for `services`, `consuming debilitating materials to put oneself in a state of stupor and more`, its really not too different in that part. Ultimately, many people can always go to different pastures while they wait for this one to go down in price with discounts and for any `fake lightning & fake grass` to get peeled up before it reveals additional costs or bad systems in place. Cause anyone remember how Capcom shoved DRM in alot of its older games? Makes one realize alot of game companies if they want can pull that crap `if they wanted to`. In the end this is just me giving my fingers some exercise while venting some frustration from multiple annoyances that happened this week and is more healthy to me then blindly beliving its totally a good idea to spend effectively over 100 dollars for a smidge of `additions` that were originally by default a part of the game in general, instead of being what is essentially 5 dollars to pay for a particular game mode and 10 dollars for a supposed `non-descript` additional post game that may or may not be that very lengthie at all and might mostly just consist of Repeat boss fights that just have thar stats inflated like your standard Story based lazy rpg that just reuses all the previous boss fights with no real context because they are too lazy to write a story more consistent then Final Fantasy 1 to justify fighting a bunch of bosses more then one time again. @@thequinlanshow3326

Yeah, it was the final boss of the game, but the fact that this blatantly shows that both Majima and Saijima aren't on the same level that Kiryu was at that point means that they're starting to decline to being closer to where Kasuga and his party are.

Their music was awesome.. it’s a shame that he won’t get a karaoke song. Go listen to Sakayume, Hakujitsu, SpecialZ, and Hikoutei. His voice is divine.

big fan of the Persona games (i mean dojima is my pfp so). whats always been interesting to me is the shared DNA of the series as both are pretty heavily inspired by the Shenmue series. where Yakuza/Like A Dragon very much served as Shenmue after Shenmue "died", Persona obviously did some of its own things and went more for the characters over the action, but they all still to me feel very connected as games.

I prefer the old Yakuza games.

tbh the trailers really kept making distance myself from this game, but this before you buy really helped. Excellent review

I tend to watch these BYB videos after I've already bought the game and am just waiting for it to finish downloading and installing.

I will always have mad respect for for the director of this game and Yakuza 7 due to the reason he decided to go turn based. He was sick of seeing turn based game turn into action games, so he turned an action game into a turn based one. What a legend. Also, I've always wanted an RPG that uses a job system featuring real world jobs, and i'm shocked that this franchise was the first to do so. There's still so much potential with the idea though and I hope someone else takes a crack at it someday.

Pissed that sega is locking new game plus behind a paywall though

All I gotta say is the moment I saw ichiban riding a dolphin in the trailer I was sold 😂

Tried the special trial version of this after beating Like A Dragon Gaiden and I AM PUMPED!!!!

I wait for a sale so I can get everything together

@@s.kanessuperbiatv6464 I had to stop watching a dude who did game reviews named yourfavoriteson because he butchers everything, not just in the yakuza games but almost everything. I stopped after I watched the mass effect trilogy reviews. I just could not understand how you spent time in these games and still mess up when it literally says it correctly right after you butchered it. I can't understand how.

Can’t believe so many people are still so turned off by turn based combat. I’m playing this as soon as it releases.

i can easily believe it, what? i mean this is a 2 decade old series that used real-time brawling as its mainstay gameplay mechanic. ofc some people are going to be pissed that the series where they used to just beat the tar out of any thug and actual tiger standing in their way turned into a turn-based Dragon Quest style RPG. thats not to say its bad at all, but it should be easy to see that when a series makes a change like this, its gonna ruffle some feathers.

Having to pay an Additional $25/£15 for the deluxe Edinburgh just to unlock NG+ means I will not be buying the game at all.

your also buying for hours worth of an extra dungeon with story content, its not just NG+

I love the fact that it’s turn based. I have to play it. Plus it’s coming to the PS4! 😤

Been to Honolulu twice, the map isn't even close to Waikiki. That said, I got a kick out of going by the game's versions of the hotels I stayed at and the "Not-Cheesecake-Factory" down the road from the beach.

I pray ichiban gets the full love that kiryu got we need 7 more games of him and his story

Love all the yakuza games soo im looking forward for this one.

Remember the NG+ requires an extra 15 usd .. yea, ng+ is a dlc

There was no "before" for me on this one, bought in full as soon as it was listed, no regrets. 60hrs in on Chapter 11 of 14 with still tons to do. Nothing feels like a slog and if anything did it's easy to switch what you're doing on the fly. 7/LAD walked so 8/IW could run in comparison and 7/LAD is still worth playing in advance in its own right. Story never slept and I'm loving the "double dragons" take on Kiryu passing the mantle over to Ichiban. Really hard to find something else purely awesome in as many degrees as this recently.

Looks pretty fun. Any recommendation which Yakuza should I start before playing this sequel?
