Is it another Yakuza spin-off?

Or a new in-game universe?

spin-off

Why can't they put some kind placeholder name in all games in the same universe?

"Yakuza" would do just fine

yagami is not a yakuza, he's a lawyer remember ,so use "yakuza" for a detective game could change a whole game.

It takes place in the same universe but has not a single cameo from any of the characters from the main series (aside from a Haruka statue you get to decorate your office with lol), I would really consider this its own thing as it has a lot of new mechanics that make it stand out from RGG's other games and the story telling feels way different.

It's definitely worth the price especially if you're in the U.S as it's only $28 atm, the bundle is worth it if you're confident you're going to enjoy the series as it includes an 8-ish hour story DLC which I remember being some of the most fun I had throughout the series (also it costs $40 on its own off sale for some ridiculous reason so the bundle is the only way I'd personally buy it).

Also my opinion may not be very popular but I think the Judgment series tops the brawler combat compared to any of the other RGG games.

I don't like Yakuza series just the cut scenes but, something about this game Intrigues me so I brought Lost Judgment having a good time definitely like the darker tone cases.
