[feynoob]

no gamepass huh

 

[Fabieter]

Will kill the franchise for me if its not based in japan.

 

[Comandr]

Is this … yakuza 8? Or another spin off?

 

[Nankatsu]

Funny but weird trailer. Seems like a game similar to Kyriu's in order to tie them up for Yakuza 8.

 

[SteelCurtain 59]

Seeing Yakuza and Persona announcements in an Xbox showcase is still weird and awesome. Love the progress that's been made with Japanese 3rd parties

 

[poodaddy]

Looks hilarious and weird, I'm very in.

Will kill the franchise for me if its not based in japan.

Embarrassing.

 

[TGO]

Will kill the franchise for me if its not based in japan.

Actually would be a refreshing change imo

 

[The Shepard]

Next mainline one, it's called like a dragon now which is it's Japanese name.

 

[Fabieter]

Actually would be a refreshing change imo

That's the reason I said for me. I know there are people who prefer evey game based in the states like gta for the third decade in a row.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Day 1 for my boy Ichiban

 

[graywolf323]

no gamepass huh

they didn't have GamePass for Like a Dragon 7 at release either

Startin to smell a bit like weeb in here....

It's probably set in Hawaii, which most Japanese consider to be part of Japan anyway.

 

[diffusionx]

I enjoyed Y7 a lot, beat it, but it needs way better RPG mechanics. I hope they learned from that game or brought in a veteran from another company or something.

 

[Comandr]

Guess I was just confused because the first teaser we saw was of Ichiban and Kiryu together in Kamurocho and all of their behind the scenes stuff showed most of the old crew coming back. It's very tonally different.

 

[Labadal]

This isn't Like A Dragon 8... is it?

Hope it's a business management game.

Yakuza's middle name could be "tonally inconsistent"

I mean Sega does own Atlus. . .

I'll second this...combat could've been really cool but was dull with no challenge ...Unless it gets harder/better in the second half. I stopped playing halfway

 

[Isa]

That's what I thought it was, seems like a spinoff of the great "minigame" I spent so much time in. Even if its smaller in scale thus more focused I wouldn't mind at all. Like another mentioned I can see this plus the Kiryu game setting up the next mainline title. Or maybe I'm totally wrong lol. Either way I'm in.

 

[killatopak]

Infinitely Milked

Spoiler

day one

 

[Labadal]

Now that I look at it... it's probably 8, lol. The infinity symbol should have given it away, but I had too much fun watching the trailer.

 

[Gambit2483]

That looked like Hawaii...any more detail on this game?

 

[YukiOnna]

Is this 8? Because 8's trailer had them literally in Japan. I have zero interest in USA in anything... so hopefully it's just a one-off location or Ichiban's side of the story.

But the infinity symbol is there...

 

[Soltype]

I'll take a US new city, you know kamurocho is going to be in it anyway.

 

[jshackles]

Is this 8?

Lots of news outlets are reporting this is indeed 8

Like a Dragon 8 is called Infinite Wealth, and it takes the series abroad

Well that's a wild turn of events already

[FearlessBelgian]

I don't think is like a dragon 8... Coming way too early

Oh shit, it is !



"An unexpected chain of events sets two legendary ex-yakuza, Kasuga Ichiban and Kazuma Kiryu on a larger-than-life RPG adventure. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is the previously announced eighth iteration in Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's flagship series, launching early 2024. "

 

[Skelterz]

Is it turn-based again if so I'm in.

 

[YukiOnna]

Looks like Kiryu is joining on the travels

Looks funny lol.

I dont think the usual yakuza charm meet the states makes alot of sense tho.

 

[sojuwarrior]

wondering if it is next-gen only

 

[jshackles]

wondering if it is next-gen only

Trailer says Series S / Series X / PC

No mention of Xbox One

 

[Katajx]

I need to go back and finish the first one. I was having a good time, and forgot what I started playing instead.

 

[Dr. Claus]

Will kill the franchise for me if its not based in japan.

Why? Yakuza have a strong impact and presence alongside the Triads in Hawaii. It doesn't need to be set in Japan.

A small side map in hawaii would be alright I guess but we don't know if it's hawaii yet.

 

[Aenima]

Curious to see how they gonna aproach that japanese comedy in the side quests, since its a diferent culture.

 

[YukiOnna]

For me, one of the best parts is it's all in Japan, Hawaii is fine, but I hope it's not a mainstay.

 

[Killer8]

I'm predicting there will be a dual storyline with Ichiban in the US and Kiryu in Japan. Kamurocho is for sure still in the game (based on the first trailer) and at the very least this means there will be a new city built from the ground up. If there is one issue with Yakuza, it's the amount of assets that are re-used between games. Lost Judgement even re-used Yokohama from Y7: Like a Dragon. Then again, I do wish it would stick to just showing off Japanese culture.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

cool this is the yakuza game im waiting for.

Wish we saw more than 1 protracted joke but happy to see its on the way

 

[kruis]

Seeing Yakuza and Persona announcements in an Xbox showcase is still weird and awesome. Love the progress that's been made with Japanese 3rd parties

Just imagine the amounts of money needed to convince Japanese developers to create games for an audience that doesn't buy their games...

 

[LordCBH]

Day mother fucking ONE BABY!

 

[xrnzaaas]

This is the series in which a city like Kamurocho was reused over and over and over again. Setting at least a part of it outside Japan would be a welcome change.

Why does it has to be outside of Japan if they reused Kamotucho alot.

It's not like 80% of modern time based games are in the is are a problem for most people.

 

[Gaelyon]

I loved the first Like a Dragon so I'm totally in for this one.

 

[adamsapple]

Infinite Wealth is an amazing subtitle to the game lol

 

[Soltype]

I dont think the usual yakuza charm meet the states makes alot of sense tho.

I think they're planning to do a fish out of water scenario.
