As a person that actually thought Judgment looked cool, I’m hoping this one is better, or as good, as than the original
If it can get more play the Yakuza series as their first entry to turn-based RPGs, then I honestly see no issue in this. I’m more interested to see what the new story will be like if Ichiban is the main lead.
A Saeko, Eri, and Seong-hui buddy cop style adventure would be awesome.
That's true, though it's kind of strange how they don't even have her at least hanging out in the background. I know it's a small thing, but I would have liked to see how she gets along with the rest of the group. Like how does she get along with Saeko? The only other woman you ever see Saeko interacting with is Seong-Hui, and they clash like oil and water.
Apparently the character herself is a fictionalized version of the Japanese VA, who got her part as a optional party member via an open audition call. That would be pretty awesome, getting put in a Yakuza game as a party member. Would explain why he interactions were so minimal, given that they had to wait to cast someone before creating the model and all.
True, but they sorta explain it away with the bubble bursting(thank you Majima) completely screwing Kiryu over. Kinda weak, but that's what happens when you give characters shit in the prequel that they can't have later on.
Look man it's not majima's fault that suggesting a tax that a retarded government official went with completely destroyed the Japanese economy, only mostly
I would agree except Kiryu mentions his time as a real estate agent multiple times in substories during kiwami 1 and 2. I think it's as king of nothing said, it's probably a combo of the bubble bursting along with kiryu being so taken in by scams and helping people he just blew it all on others.
Why does everyone hate the OPTIONAL idol part of Yakuza 5? It only has 3 songs, which you can FAIL, which you have to do.
I didn't see an option saying "Do you want to skip this part?"
Just lose every main Idol song event. The story isn't skippable but once you have started the idol stage section, you can go to the other two manditory ones immediately. If you play through those songs (win or lose) once, you can continue to the fighting parts again.
Kiryu's not so charitable as to blow all of his money on helping others, I wouldn't think.
Gotta admit it's nice to be able to go down a street and not have a dozen fuckers jump you because you had the audacity to run in their presence.
The entire Yakuza 0 real estate minigame (and upgrade system and "throwing money at people" system) were a direct reference to the Japanese Real Estate bubble that was happening during the time Yakuza 0 was happening. The Y0 version is a bit exaggerated, but a lot of what Kiryu bought in the 80s likely depreciated greatly during his time between Y0 and Y1.
Kiryu doesn't own the orphanage, he just runs it. The landlord is actually a semi-prominent character in Y3 as well.
I hope when Nugget finally died he was buried with full honors deserving of a true yakuza.
Liam Neeson as Date????
Seeing Millie Bobby Brown in a Yakuza movie with Will Smith and Jack Black in the background sounds like something that Jaden Smith would participate in.
