I vastly prefer action combat, gaiden was very nice even if it still felt a bit neutered. I play a lot of rpg/jrpgs so i like turn based but LAD was not a great implementation. It wasnt the worst but the endless trash mobs you couldnt easily avoid was irritating. The dungeons were soulless grinds for the sake of grinding. I hope there are more boss fights and that they make use of your skills.

It's not killing the community. You think they'd waste time making another one if the first one didn't sell ridiculously well and people were demanding more of it? There's a reason this dev company is still in business because they know what their fans want.

Here we definitely agree. Far from there being any meat on the grinding content... it was, like, anti-meat. You finished your little crawl in about 5 or 6 minutes and then went to do it all over again a hundred times. And that music. Y7 overall had the best music in the franchise, but the one piece of music I spent most of my time listening to was without controversy the most boring BGM in the game and possibly the franchise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_XMydl5m8E

I'm hoping Y8 really, really steps up the endgame content. I mean, I'm really happy that Y7 had grinding, a high level cap, really fun extra DLC classes, and a point to it all (even the option to grind stat drinks if you wanted) and would cry a river if they took that away, but they can't just cheap out on this content if it's gonna be in.

I'm actually still pretty convinced that the decision to go RPG was made mid-development and the game was originally going to be full battle mode, just with AI companions. The RPG component after all is, fundamentally, just a computer-controlled reiteration of the traditional action battle gameplay. It even has occasional hiccups like NPCs/characters getting stuck on terrain.

Brilliant decision, though. Ichiban is all about his companions and being personable. A pure action game is a better fit for loner characters. Obviously Yagami is going to be the go-to for that role now.

Since then however they have released, what 3 brawler games (LJ, Ishin, Gaiden) and 0 turn based games.

It seems they know what fans actually want.

I admit this post earned a smirk. If we weren't in a forum where you'll mostly find only superfans of the properties, I would label this post as some gourmet spin. But yeah... everyone will already know that LJ was the aforementioned brawl mainstay replacement, Ishin! was a remaster, and Gaiden is Kiryu's last hurrah. Everyone including of course anyone from SEGA who might hypothetically be perusing this forum for feedback.

I want me some more RPG Yakuza games. And I'm perfectly happy that they've decided one franchise will be RPG and the other will be brawl.

Know what'd be kind of neat? A crossover game in a couple of years. And for kicks, they could split the gameplay evenly between RPG and brawl, depending on the circumstance.

Yeah...which is why the next big Yakuza game "Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth" is a turn based RPG.

You're right. They know what the fans want.

lmao thanks for the free points. the jester reward doesn't mean anything when stating facts however.

So... a new entry in the spin-off series that's meant to keep the brawler combat, the remaster of a game released in 2014, and a game meant to bridge 6 and 8. All of which were released before the 100+ hours mainline game that's being advertised to hell and back and that everyone's talking about, which happens to be in the JRPG format.

Strong argument, no holes.

i personally hate turn based too, not only it's turn based, but it's getting weirdf fantasy will all the costumes and magical stuff, i mean ok in yakuza there some unatural stuff at some point but there was a limit between surnatural and realistic, new games with turn based just go full unrealistic /surnatural/disney/final fantasy

[Kazuma Kiryu]

You will be disappointed.

I don't see that happening sadly. Sega now wants to appeal to the turn based crowd, for reasons I don't understand. My guess is that they're all insane and therefore more willing to throw money at games, but that's just a theory. Hopefully some other game will swoop in and fill the beat em up hole left by the yakuza franchise.
