    I like the hair as I feel it gives him a bit of personality and makes him feel different from Kiryu.

    I'll have to play to see if I like him or not though.

    I'm sorry so many of you have such terrible opinions on what cool hair is

    I need to get Kiwami 2, and then all those PS3 ports, and then maybe I'll finally grab one of those Yakuza 6 Collectors Editions I see at every Best Buy

    We can split the workload

    I'll take off, you'll take even

    That's the way the story is meant to be experienced, I'm sure

    you can probably stop playing 4 after my beautiful boy Akiyama's chapter, which is fortunately the beginning

    I mean, the hair transition, much like Yagami's, is probably representative of his change of perspective as much as his situation.

    which is to say, they both need some conditioner

    With all this Yakuza I feel like Sega caught me liking the games behind the bike sheds and is now forcing me to smoke an entire carton of them.

    I'm surprised we don't have a Yakuza Musou yet. Just hundreds of mooks lining up to have a motorcycle carve through them like butter.

    More info on the battle system from the Chief Producer: https://gematsu.com/2019/08/yakuza-like-a-dragon-chief-producer-further-details-live-command-rpg-battle-system

    Despite being turn-based, you and enemies still move around, and depending on where you fight you can still interact with weapons and the environment like cars and bicycles. Enemies you aren't targeting may interrupt your attacks so you can't just rush everyone down. There is an optional Auto mode that fights for you and does QTEs for you, but may not always be the right choice. Also, characters have classes, which you can swap at a store called Hello Work, which I don't think had been mentioned yet.

    I do like it when a game does its best to make a turn-based game feel more alive and less stilted, even if it’s purely set dressing

    Also play the Fist of the North Star game, because I actually think it's better than about half the Yakuza games.

    Oh yeah I have that too! Anya walked in on me playing it. I had to tell her that even though she said was fine with it, I was not okay with her watching me explode people’s heads.

    Look, at some point she's gonna need to learn the Hokuto Shinken if you want her to survive the coming apocalypse.

    Yeah, but I want her to learn it the traditional way, from an ancient master after the apocalypse.

    I can respect that

    Protagonists learn more quickly when they're motivated to seek out a old, wise mentor as the first step in their mission to avenge their parents' tragic deaths

    Very excited to see you get completely sidetracked by property management and hostess clubs.

    I think when I stopped playing I had just unlocked the real estate stuff, which also means I was close to getting the hostess management stuff.

    Yakuza is mostly long because of the mini-games.
    Which I feel need a shake-up the most.
    It's a lot and it's all very samey throughout the series.

    Okay granted I'm only reading the Google Translate version of that page but he basically says that the critpath of other Yakuza games has been 10 hours and he wanted close to 30 for this one

    Uh fucking excuse me but there has been way more than 10 hours of main story in the last few games, right? There has to be

    I guess if you ran from plot point to plot point you could shorten things, but even then 10 seems short.

    I'm pretty sure you have at least half that in just cutscenes let alone actually playing the game.
