Perpetually Tired
I am very excited! I still haven't played the majority of the games (got burned out after binging 0, 1, and 2 plat runs, still missing a few trohpies in 0 and the challenges in 1). I need to return with 3 at some point here soon! I have around 4-5 games I am playing at the moment (Patapon, LocoRoco, Voice of Cards, Evil Dead), but once I finish those I will jump back into Yakuza 3.
I really hope we get the final remaining spinoffs being translated and maybe even a port of the mediocre PS3 Zombie title.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
More than likely this will be a turn based game.
No issues with it, but I'm more inclined to the brawler style.
Ryū ga Gotoku is the Japanese name for the franchise.

I've never cared until Like A Dragon. If they all go turn-based JRPG like that, I'm in.So uhhh you guys not into Yakuza or what.

Yeah I probably should have included "Yakuza devs" in the title, sorry about that.
I remember they shown some sneak peak of their next title and it had Ichiban and Nanba, so yeah it probably is another turn-based JRPG.
I'm fine with that, but also hope they improve on it. Combat was a bit mindless in LaD.

I'd like to see Yakuza 8 or a Ryū ga Gotoku Kenzan+Ishin! properly localized colection to be released in the west, maybe with some additional tweaks/minor improvements for next gen.
Regarding Yakuza 8 I think they'll continue with the turn based rpg gameplay, but I'd prefer the 'real time' brawler gameplay.

Has this series been renamed "Like a Dragon" in the west? That was the subtitle of a Yakuza spin-off right? I'm confused.
Or is that the English translation of the Japanese name?

I'm hyped but....kinda confused on where this fits in the timeline, not gonna lie. I might need a refresher lol. I still haven't finished Yakuza 6, but I'm currently playing Like a Dragon. I didn't want to do it like that, but I broke my hand and couldn't really play the regular Yakuza games while it was healing, so I had to move on to the turn based one, and now I'm getting shit all twisted up in my head on when what happened in the series. I've finished Yakuza 0 and Kiwami, then Yakuza 4 and 5, just as a kind of reference to why I'm a bit confused.
I goddamn love these games so much, but they can be a bit convoluted and difficult to keep up with. Every game is so big and has so many characters and developments that when you view the franchise as a whole, it's really quite a gargantuan series to try and take in.

It looks like all future entries will come with the "Like a Dragon" name instead, which I guess makes sense cause that's literally the name of the franchise in Japan.

Seems a bit risky to give up a well known name like Yakuza, but alright!
Maybe the games aren't that much about the actual Yakuza anymore? I haven't played them (I would like to, but I'm not sure where to start).
This game serves as a link between Yakuza 6 and Yakuza 8. It takes place after the ending of Y6.

Did they hire actual yakuzas? Holy shit.

Ozawa (Kuze) and Takeuchi (Awano) are known for playing hard boiled characters in Yakuza movies actually lol.

Took me a bit to figure out too... SEGA listed one of the games as a "classic high-octane RGG action-adventure", and I couldn't figure out for the life of me what genre "RGG" was, if it was some new term for Action-RPG or what?
So confounding of SEGA, to change the game after all these years from Yakuza to Like a Dragon (which I get) and then also refer to the games under the Japanese game in an international announcement. They're really testing the mid-level fans' ability to keep up...

I'm retarded?
At this point I'm 100% sure the Yakuza series is just a side-business for the real yakuza.
