You have 10 yakuza action games go play them, There are milions of gamers like me
that love turn-based RPGs.

I couldn't be happier this one is turn based, didn't realise I would like so much but after Yakuza 7 it completely won me over.

Yakuza 7 and this were day 1 pre-orders on my end.
Whereas the others in the series were eventual Humble Bundle Monthly pickups or deep sales/PsPlus things.

Different strokes for different folks. there's a quote or interview from the creator you can google saying that they were blown away and surprised at the commercial and critical success of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and so it made sense to follow suit.
(At the end of the day even if this is only for Ichiban's games it makes more sense too since it fits his Dragon Quest-fanboyism character origins)

Hey, atleast RGG is still making Judgement and things like Ishin/Gaiden for the original fans; a lot of other studios like Square or Capcom have changed the core of their flagship Final Fantasy/Resident Evil games respectively and *completely* snubbed us OG fans.
RGG are still appeasing everyone in a stellar win-win move.

I have played the whole entire series 3 times. When I first heard that LAD7 was going to be turn based I cringed thinking if it ain't broke don't fix it. Back when i was a kid I loved the classic RPG's like FF and DQ. So I loved when i read that the new protagonist saw that life was an RPG. I had seen videos and loved the over the top cut scenes for using magic. I loved the teamwork that can happen when you use the magic. I love the outfits that the characters have. Believe me i was really skeptical about this new change. It took me a while to get use to the new change after street brawling for 15 years starting back on the PS2.

I like the new change. I don't quite love it but I do like how they tried to shake the series up a little. If it was your standard turn base mechanics like it was back in FF and DQ days I would totally be beitching with the rest of you. The fact that Ichiban and the crew can combine their skills to perform over the top moves with each other gives the fighting a KICK in the ass (pun intended) to keep the series fresh. For those that are coming to LADIW from LAD TMWEHN might be confused on why the switch. (All the games prior to LAD7 was brawling. Since LAD TMWEHN is Kiryu's story they went back to the OG style.)

For those that have started playing the series with LAD7 and then played LAD TMWEHN might not like the brawling style and might be happy to go back to the RPG turn base mechanics in to LADIW. But for those that have been with the series from the start I feel your guys frustration. I don't take kindly to change very well, especially with things that I love. This is life. Change can be a good thing and in this case I feel that it is.

I remember when the Super Nintendo came out and I saw that Nintendo added 4 more buttons to the standard controller. I hated that because for ten years I only had to remember four buttons. I felt like I wouldn't be able to remember what the extra buttons would do. With the extra 4 buttons you are able to do so much more in the game. That is how I feel about the turn base mechanics. I feel that it brings the characters closer together as a team.

That is my thoughts on the transition from brawling to turn base. Change is not going to be pleasant for everyone. If we want to continue to do the things we love (like playing the awesome series of Yakuza (OG) Like a Dragon (NG) ) Then we are going to have to adapt or lose out on the things we love in life. (not just video games)

Funny how you're crying yourself when devs dare to deviate a bit AKA Persona Strikers and Dancing.

He is, Yakuza is now a turn based franchise. Cry more.

They're both excellent. I usually prefer JRPG combat but got into this series through 0.

I'm glad both styles of gameplay and the Dragon Engine itself continue to be iterated on.

Ishin Kiwami (west) and 7 Gaiden released recently and I don't see them being JRPG.

They're both spin offs and Ishin was a PS2 game. The developers have already confirmed that every mainline Yakuza game will be turn based going forward.

They said that in 2020 and yet we had LJ and Y7G after that.
I'm pretty sure we're gonna keep having brawlers, just maybe not as major as new numbered ones. Who cares anyway. Judgments spin-offs are miles ahead of 7 and this 8.
