Do you think the series will be as popular without him being a focal point from here on out?Sure, Ichiban seems to be well-liked, but Kiryu is what makes Yakuza what it is.
>>736489518His presence in Yakuza 8 made the game worse
>>736489636I could see that, but I enjoyed his segments and thought it was a decent send-off for his character. I just wish they hadn't gone with the whole cancer shit.It was nice reminiscing about his past.
>>736489518>without him being a focal point from here on out?You must live in fantasy world.They'll never let him and Majima go
>>736489978So, it's just more prequels, then? That's kind of lame.
>>736490035Either that or they're gonna revert Kiryu's cancer
The only Kiryu content I will accept from this point on is Yakuza -1 that is an alternate reality where Nishikiyama did the time for shooting Dojima
>>736490236The fucker is almost 60 years old; how much longer can they go?
>>736490434that'd be way too kino PLUS it would require decent writingnot happening bud lol
>>736489518They're gonna undo kiryu's cancer by making the protagonist of stranger than heaven immortal because of the shit that made whatever his name is in infinite wealth stop aging.Calling it now.
>>736489518There are far worse things that will prevent the series from maintaining it's quality than Ichiban.
Just make a game with her as the MC and all she does is try to have sex with white men like me.
>>736489518Kiwami 3 finally showed the series underperforming, and Sega is so stupid they'll assume it's because people don't like Kiryu any more. It'll be a hard sell if Yakuza 9 doesn't have Kiryu present at all. Even the most dedicated will imagine what Yakuza 8 would be like with no Kiryu and shudder.
