GOTY 2027
>>738560384I FOUUUND A PLAAAACEWHERE I CAN COME HOOOOME
>>738560384It comes out this year.
I don't get it. This looks like an extremely generic Yakuza game, which you have all played since the PS2. It has not changed.
>>738560384is this a win for wmaf or is his parental lineage so inconsequential that he can be imagined as an amwf offspring?
I FOUND A PLACE
>>738560843
TESTING MY FAITH
>>738560853I think it will be January or February
>>738560843Did they release the fucking song yet??
>>738560384If only they could fix the graphics.
so they finally dropped the yakuza franchise and try something new but same genre?
>founder of the Tojo Clan was canonically trained by Snoop Dogg
>>738561271They're fine. The filter mimics old films.
>>738561438>so they finally dropped the yakuza franchiseThis is a Yakuza game. It's literally the same thing as Judgment. It's a "New IP" in the same way Black Panther is a "New IP". It's not, it's just an excuse for major overhauls and to try some new things.
the trailer is trendingthis is their next 0 with a bit of 5absolute fucking kino
>>738561471It's not just the filter.
>>738560384>2027oh well i'm not looking forward to this anymore then
>>738561553What's the problem?
>>738560904Different combat system, and it's very different in tone compared to the more recent Yakuza games. It's already different from the others with Makoto aging as the game progresses. A scene from the trailer also shows decapitation while a Yakuza is drinking sake while blood squirts out of it. It'll definitely be more brutal than the "wholesome quirk chungus" vibe of more recent Yakuza games. It's part of why I'm excited.
death to graphicsfags
anyone who thinks they're releasing this around GTA6's date is retarded
>>738561883don't feed the troll
>>738561885I don't care about graphics. They made Yakuza cool and manly again.
>Once Upon a Time in Japanthis is going to be their masterpiece
>>738561916Winter 2026 is pretty close to it. Apparently that could extend to January or February though
>>738561916No shit, why do you think it's just winter right now
>>738561515the trailer was fantastic. remove the yakuza cast and suddenly they try. Just like judgement
>>738561982fucking masterpiece of a film
>>738561495i mean if it's a whole new story instead of the same yakuza, i guess im fine with it? Judgement games, despite it looks interesting but i got burned out on yakuza-like games so early because of too many story fillers on yakuza 0
I'm in love..
there are SO MANY people reacting to the trailer
Roach king skipped this for the star fox shitshow but it's gotten enough attention he will probably try to get on it now
>>738562362Don't underestimate good music and aesthetic. Persona 5's original trailer drew in a lot of attention for those same reasons.
>>738562362yeah it's insanethe song carries so fucking hard
>>738562428>ratfuckers and soap-haters will react to Stranger than Heavenyamero... the crowd that 0 drew in was bad enough. YAMERO!!!!
snoop's son is handsome afno homo
>>738561883that's fucking brutal holy shit
>Snoop Dogg dapping Makoto
>>738562754ngl I still tear up re-watching the trailer
>>738562856yeah it's maximum SOUL
holy fuck
>>738561054Punished Makoto looks cool af
Checking reactions it's funny to see that most go LMAO IS THAT SNOOP and this guy in the very same scene was like ISN'T THAT DEAN FUJIOKA!?https://youtu.be/UrZBPEgO5gQ?t=197
>>738563212so many big names
>he designed himself
>>738560384This is going to get canceled isn't it?
>>738563527Why would it?
More like stranger than kino
>>738563212lol bro couldn't believe his ears
>>738563574It's not Yakuza(Like a Dragon)
>Cordell speaking Japanese
>>738563212>ADO?!kek
sexxxxxx
>>738563697I still have faith
I swear nothing better happen to Snoop
>>738563730yeah lol threw me off too
>>738564087
>>738561190not yetworst case, we'll have to wait until the game comes out
>>738564087>>738564208>the protag reflects all the friends he lost and the sacrifices he made to get to this point-scene
>>738564226just rip it off youtube lol
>>738564374
>>738564374peak cinema
>>738562154It's literally about the funding of the Tojo clan, it's Yakuza just not shit so far.
>>738564375I want a clean version.
>>738561447Do not underestimate a black guy who knows eastern martial arts you fool.
>>738564374This is the scene where he takes off the shades and never puts them back on again, isn't it.
>>738560384is this thread just a couple shills replying to each othertake your westernized japanese game and fuck off. do you ask for a big mac with your sushi too?
>>738565047he's gonna get joe pesci'd
SO LONG, AMERICA! THIS IS MY HOME AND NOTHING'S GONNA CHANGE THAT!
>>738565047yep
>>738560384Snoop dogg getting included is stopping that from happening.
>>738560384if I don't die before it comes out I'll play it but that's a huge ask so we'll see
>>738565208holy fuck he looks punished as fuck on the right
>>738565227>not like Snoop
>>738565227pleb faggot take
>>738565298maybe he got exiled by the tojo clanfrom rags to riches to rags tale
>>738565298clothes all fucked up too, he may actually be homeless in that part and that's why they didn't want to show any gameplay for it
>>738565298>>738565376>makoto goes back from square one as he did back in 1915i'm seeing kino
>>738565350>crying because I don't care for the overexposed black man
>>738565457okay deborah stop being jealous
>>738565331Who isn't like snoop?
>>738565472fucking lmao
>>738565528i need to sleep
>ADOdead on arrival
>>738565658How so? She's the biggest singer in Japan.
If RGG pulls it off then my faith in the studio is restored because I know they were probably half-assing everything else because they were focusing on this.
>>738565712the fucking pirate game is the only yakuza game i haven't finished playing - i even finished kenzan and dead souls
>>738565712>yokoyamait's still 50/50but i fucking hope rgg will pull this off
>>738565108>account based in southeast asia
>GOTY 2027 It’s just reskinned yakuza maps lol
>>738565712Yeah it's clear all the other games were just to get more funding for this.I guess it's the RGG Studio way and why Nagoshi got fucked. He didn't have a treasure trove of assets he could flip in a year with a C team to sell while working on the game that matters. His only option when he needed more time was to ask for more money, he couldn't just make that money himself.
>>738565932this thread is straight up shill centralgoing off responses in here you'd think the trailer had 10 million views. but it doesn't even have a million. the japanese trailer barely even has 600k. the original announcement trailer from a year ago barely has 1.2 mil. this entire thread is advertising.hope this westernized slop fails
don't feed the trolls
How can I get invested in the tojo clan's creation story when I know it ends with it being dissolved because of daigo's shit leadership
>>738566619why are you even here?
It's funny to me that of the 20 different uploads of this trailer it's the microsoft ones that have the least views and this was shown at a microsoft event
>>738566668Because Daigo ultimately seems to fulfill what Makoto's original purpose was for the Tojo clan: a place for people who have nowhere to belong.
>DSP likes itwe're so back
>>738566668>because of daigo's shit leadershipanti yakuza laws were having their way for a long time and Ryo Aoki's anti yakuza push during his time as governor made things worse.
>>738566668How can I be invested in the roman empire when I know christcucks went on to fuck it all up?
>>738560384Im really curious about what makoto's relationship with his heritage is going to be. He goes from not hiding anything about himself to wearing shades to presumably hide his eyes, takes them off. Even dyes his hair blonde at one point, I imagine he will embrace and reject his whiteness multiple times throughout the decades
Japan is very quickly becoming the gayest lamest country for games. Before long China and Korea will surpass them and leave them in the dust.
>>738566668All things must end at some point anon, that doesn't mean they weren't worth it. Nothing made by man can last eternal, and that's okay
It's ironic that people are calling it westernized because of the one person they recognize being a western celebrity. Meanwhile what they had to pay to get people like Shirota Yu, Dean Fujioka and HigeDan to both act and sing for this game would be enough to afford people that would make a lot of western gamers clap and preorder immediately.The only audience who recognized all of the names on screen was the japanese audience. They know Snoop too. Meanwhile the people accusing this of being westernized didn't even recognize fucking Akio Otsuka. Nigger you ARE the western audience, thank God they weren't exclusively appealing to you like you're accusing them of. If they were the MC would be Troy Baker instead.
>>738566979Name anything made by korea or china that isn't a gacha, porn, a soulslike or all three at the same time
I'm going to buy it because I'm retarded, but RGG has only released maybe two good games in the past 15 years.
>>738566934I think by 1929 it will just be self-hatred about being a half. I think he will join the Yakuza near the tail end of 1915 but then it jumps forward to 1929 and showcases that he doesn't really move up the Yakuza chain at all, presumably due to him being half-Japanese which is why he seems to be a debt collector even 14 something years after joining, even Makoto seemingly making a name for himself in Sotenbori is likely more due to his talent as a showman than moving up the Yakuza chain.
>>738565712It's very clear infinite wealth and this were the big projects while pirates and kiwami 3 were just there to keep output going. If we look at their track record of big games they haven't missed even if IW wasn't as good as 7
>>738566851DSPbros, we won!
>>738567085the girl reading this
>>738567059Name one other Yakuza Game whose theme song was an American rap/pop song featuring two American artists and which also features said artists as characters in the game with other American black people. In what world is this not westernized as fuck?
what is this evenYakuza -1?
>>738567196Then why dye his hair blonde later on? Maybe he will go "fuck these people im going full yankee" once he realizes they'll never accept him as one of them. It will also be very interesting to see his reaction after running away from america just to see it come to him during the occupation and all the westernization that followed
>>738567367basically
Judging by the color scheme I guess the dyed hair part is in Hiroshima? Probably when he starts to climb the ranks, since Osaka is when he talks about starting the Tojo Clan.
they made ado so cute bros
>>738567307Anon this game is focused on japan's transformation during the 20th century. With an entire era happening shortly after american occupation of course it would be westernized thats the fucking point>>738567367Yes, combined with once upon a time in america
They guy who plays Makoto speaks English so well for a Japanese person. It's apparently really hard for them.
Who is Tori Kelly?
>>738567307Almost like him being american is a major part of the story, retard.
I want to die in tori's armpits
>>738567468Makoto and his buddy still have a japanese accent but they speak it pretty well. I think it fits
>>738567445Has she done a face reveal irl yet?
>>738567370It might even just be part of a ploy. Makoto can speak English and has blue eyes, so maybe someone has him dye his hair blonde so he can pass as a foreigner for some reason, but it could also end up being something that makes Makoto's own complex even worse since all someone has to say is "You don't look Japanese at all."
stop being a dick Yu
>>738567468I think what he's referring to in the interviews is that he has to speak like someone that's only just now learning Japanese in the opening parts of the game, it seems like he's been able to speak english for awhileall these big jp figures speak better english than they let on, like I don't think anyone even knew Otsuka could speak english any real amount at all but here he is
>>738567649>sorry Makoto I can't hear you over the sound of me founding the Daidoji
Atami looks fucking awesome.
>it's gonna be Y0 level of feels all over again
>>738567575Well, being able to pass as an american during the occupation could be very beneficial. Maybe he'll cozy up to the military to get ahead or something before being let down and deciding that if neither japanese or american society will take him in he'll build his own. Starting the tojo clan
>>738567651You mean the challenging acting he's doing? I'm assuming that's more the singing part. He was in GTO, pretending to be retarded is probably second nature to him.
>>738567687Yokohama said no daidoji in this game thank god, but seeing some radio broadcasts of politicians talking about the fixer would be cool, as long as it's not a major part of the plot
snoop's got hands god damn
>>738560384>snoop dogAll interest immediately lost. Yakuza went to shit when they started pandering to westoids.
poor Punished Nagoshi
>>738567493ligma balls
>>738567917not liking snoop makes you a massive newfag
>>738567917they did from back in 0 with the michael jackson thing
>>738567917absolute pleb
>>738567981Michael Jackson has been a thing in Japan since forever. Hardly westoid pandering.
snoop is /v/ culture
The real westoid pandering the series went through was going too hard on the meme shit that made its name in western social media. But from this trailer at least it definitely doesn't seem to apply to this game. This will probably be closer to Judgment in tone than modern Yakuza.>>738567981SHAMONE
>>738567938Nagoshi kind of got what he had coming. The man was too reliant on recycling assets and when he had no assets to recycle he ran into a wall, so he tried to make Yakuza with a Korean man, meanwhile Yokoyama has some flubs but making a Godfather/Once Upon a Time in America knock off about the Tojo clan's founder sounds far more interesting.
>>738567917k cya
>>738567938The Man Who Erased His Budget
>>738568084
>>738568023>d-doesn't count!!!
>>738568084kek
>>738568084my fucking sides
>>738567859>Yokohama said no daidoji in this game thank godhe also said this game won't include makoto tojo
>>738560843Is it gay that this chorus chokes me up?
PAVED MY WAY WON'T LIVE IN MY PASTONCE YOU COME HERE YOU'LL NEVER LOOK BACKWON'T KNOW SHINE 'TIL YOU'RE PART OF THIS PACK IT'SSTRANGER THAN HEEEEAVEEEEN
Why add a stoner black guy?
>>738568224it's sovl
>>738566668>WTF, why would I bother feeding myself when I'm just gonna die some day.
>>738568261Unironically, they find it silly and fun, but also need a rapper for the main theme/other songs
>>738568224The game will probably be a misery simulator for Makoto.
>>738568224nah it's peak soulif the trailer hits this hard then the game is going to destroy me
>>738568084Nagochin...
Yu is gonna betray Makoto huh
>>738568261Because wise magical negroes are always kino
>>738568084why did he do it?
>>738568352Its once upon a time in america, watch that movie and thats pretty much the plot of this game
>>738568296>when I'm just gonna die some day.you don't know that
I thought her name was Abo lmao
>>738568391It's one of my favorite movies of all time bro
>>738568396>Loads pistolI do
>>738567458>>738567510Them CHOOSING to put him in is part of the westernization. They didn't have to but they chose to. Just like they chose a mostly English theme song. Why would they do that if they were targeting Japan by itself?
>>738568391>>738561982
>>738567468I legit kinda love that the game has this unified one language dub thing going on. So when Makoto speaks with with other English abled people, he speaks english, but when it's with other Japanese only ones then he speaks japanese. Really makes the world feel more grounded.
>>738568352I think the real sad thing is that we are going to see them being pretty much brothers for a couple of periods and then shit will probably go horribly wrong in 1951.
>>738568352they'll fight on a tower, shirtless
>sympathy building for a bunch of violent gangsters and criminals that actively make the society they parasitically attach themselves to worse>waaaaaaaaa society rejects me for no reason at all>it's muh homeGO BACK.
>>738568539holy fuck you're right
>>738565712It's going to start great and end terribly just like Infinite Wealth
>>738568559why are or why were the japanese so racist anyway?
>>738568426Honestly it's not even one of my favorite gangster films, they just dont do enough in the 4 fucking hours they have to make me get invested. Noodles is fine and the ending with mr bailey and him deciding to keep living in a fantasy are cool but it just doesn't justify it's runtime. You'll crucify me but the irishman is better
>>738568585Everyone is racist. Whitey is just told we have to pretend we aren't.
>>738568352>Meet me at the top of Century Tower
TORE DOWN THE GAAAATES
>>738568640kino
>>738568640"haha cuz it's project century get it" - yokoyama probably
>>738568676TOOOK ALL MY PAAAAIN
>>738568721AND MADEEEEE A WEAPONNNNNNNNNN
>>738568585They're an island nation whose only experience of invasion was by the Mongolians. Hmm, I wonder why they're not fond of the Chinese.
>this is my home, and nothings gonna change that
>>738568717shit, wouldn't be surprised if he'll actually do it
>>738568585>live in isolation for centuries>your few contacts with the outside world are normally them trying to conquer you>decide to open up to some commerce because why not>they literally use christianity as a weapon >They openly brag about how they will make everyone swear loyalty to the church to delegitimize the shogun and overthrow him to turn the country into a colony>AIEEEEEEEEE GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT GET OUTYeah I wonder why
>>738568748YOUU KNOW I COULD TAKE YOU SOMEWHEEERE
>>738568751I heard that Curtis
>>738568751I feel like the game will get me a few times. Makoto's life in general will probably just be suffering.
watching japanese people lose their shit over snoop is so funny
>>738568812STRANGER THAN HEAVEENNN...
so this is coming out jan/feb right?
With the all star cast, long dev time and all the marketing how much will this game need to sell? Yakuza games are all in the 1-2 million copies range but this seems like it will need to sell a lot more
>>738560384>yakuza are just poor immigrants that need a place to stay ;_;i will buy this game day 1. i too love immigrants.
>>738568906holy fuck my new waifu
>>738568890Late Jan like Infinite Wealth
>>738568858America's fading idols on the homefront are finding new life in Japan. That's why you see McDonald's and Coke are going so hard marketing there.
i really hope they don't tone down the combat. I love how brutal it is.
>>738568906Microsoft paid god knows how much for Gamepass on Day 1. I feel like when Sega takes those deals they already secured enough money from Microsoft to cover costs.
>Ado gets killed in front of Makoto
>>738560384I want to play this but>tenth game of franchiseNot gonna make it...
>>738568751>>738568825>"a jap then huh?>"don't i look like one?">"you're not?"fate of a hafu
>>738560384This is the one game I've seen most of /v/ agree on. Is the really going to be that good?
>>738568890I bet the game is practically done and they're just waiting to see if gta6 will get delayed to get a specific release time. Winter is vague enough to go from october to even february
that bit where young makoto is walking down the street with his crew is fucking badass
>>738568987No wonder they put in a black pothead
Yakuza 0 is the only Yakuza game I played. This will be the next one I play. I'm a normie tourist to this franchise.
>>738568962They probably won't considering they're playing up Makoto as not being some heroic person, especially with the short preview in the trailer showing that he's debt collecting on a poor person. It'd be the inverse if you have some cold-blooded migrant that's clawing his way to the top taking mercy on people and just giving them a lighter smackdown.
>>738569037looks like a classic crime dramawe'll have to wait if yokohama finally made a decent yakuza game
adobros..
>filthy frank cameo
Followed by the echoes when the black light dimsin the cracks of the walls, feel the weight of old sinsNothing stays buried, no names, not a worddive through the silence while the memories blurAsh in the water and the hush in the airmen coming through, but few leave a prayerA secret ain't buried, the presence in the pastrumors rise slow, but the truth moves fastUnder lock of death, my name still burngo read between the lines, close your eyes and observe, the answer汚れだらけ痛みの果て
>>738569037RGG is a studio that can vary greatly in quality, but this is something they seem in be putting their all into so I have some faith it will be good.
>>738569053I love this shot. That and the one where Makoto's wistfully watching the fireworks.
>>738569037The trailer was honestly that good, helps that the song is a banger too.
>>738569017>10thMore like 20th, but this seems mostly stand alone outside of a few references that you might miss.
>>738569095LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>738569037For all the memeing RGG is an extremely consistent studio. Their low budget titles are mediocre and every few years they drop a big game that actually had a budget and those are always good shit. From all they've shown this one is looking like their new yakuza 5 and the main premise sounds excellent
>>738569095This is fake.
>>738569095not sure if legit but she cute
>>738569154Seeing that makes me wonder if there will be some kind of big mechanic tied to each period, like 1915 will have gang warfare or something and then 1943 will have music producing.
>>738569154is the guy next to him wearing fucking lipstick lmao
>>738569017They've heavily marketed this one as a standalone story
Do we get to fuck prostitutes or was the prostitute haggling minigame because you're trying to get info from them or you're collecting money from them or something? I'm assuming it's the latter since RGG protagonists aren't allowed to have sex.
>>738569095>>738569197This makes no sense, she has always worn long hair and it's clearly visible in her silhouette during concerts.
fuck GTA6this is the real banger
>>738569264bro has never heard of wigs
>>738569264>what are wigs
>>738569243i guess so
>>738569212That's the vibe I get. Gang warfare and petty crime in 1915 while Makoto struggles to figure out his lot in life, ends up moving to Kure and joins the Yakuza, takes his Yakuza experience to Osaka and becomes a showman. Then the downfall in Atami and Shinjuku.
>>738560384>Supporting cast is "international">Just niggers and brown women who totally were there and totally would have contributed to the rise of the yakuzaWoke trash for fags who won't even buy it, fuck off
>>738569212Most definitely. Normally yakuza games have a big side game and if this has the same scope as yakuza 5 we can expect multiple ones, music producing will be the biggest one but maybe each era will have a unique smaller one
>This is my home, and nothing's going to change that!>I FOUND A PLAAAACE, THAT I CAN CALL HOME
>>738569283>>738569291Why would she wear a wig for all her life if she clearly has enough hair in that photo to wear it longer?
Makoto.. remember one thing. smoke weed erryday
>>738569212That seems very likely, Y5 had a major minigame tied to each playable character and each region so it's not a stretch to believe it's the same here. It seems like music is a major focus throughout the entire game however.
>>738569336it's as if she's trying to obscure her look or something
>>738569154For me it's this shot >>738565189
>>738569139>hey oyabun
>>738569017>GUYS, IF I DON'T GET EVERY SINGLE NOD TO THE PREVIOUS GAMES THAT TAKE PLACE LATER, I"LL GET CONFUSED SO I CAN'T START AT THIS SUPPOSEDLY STAND ALONE STORY.
>>738569389Kino....
>obsessing over one man's death>that's no way to live a life
>>738569243In the old yakuza games you got to fuck cabaret girls so prostitutes are obviously in. The real question is if you get to fuck the singers
I like how Makoto is definitely no saint, but the guy still seems like he will be incredibly easy to sympathize with.
>>738569456They're gunning for the American market with this one. Do you really think they'll have icky male gaze options? It'll be completely toned down like all modern anime that also now aims for the west.
kek
>this>GTA 6>FFXIV EvercoldIT'S TOO MUCH
How big are we expecting the cities to be? On par with Yakuza 5 or bigger?Yokoyama said that Kokura (1915) took like two--three months for them to make which is why they decided to reveal the game early on and gather impressions. I find that interesting seeing as there couldn't have been much assets to reuse.
>>738569498Yeah, Makoto is basically just a guy trying to find a place to belong but both of the places he wanted to call home, America and Japan, has ostracized him.
>>738569661With the experience they got making hanalulu and yokohama I imagine making smaller cities comes way easier to them. They're most likely 5 kamurocho sized maps, hopefully more complex and interesting than the y5 cities
>>738564374I really love this shot. I also wonder about the blurred guy behind Makoto because he doesn't look Japanese and instead what I would expect from a slime bag Italian. I wonder if Makoto trying to establish ties to possibly the Mafia is what makes him lose everything by 1965, or if that is the point where Makoto realizes he is about to lose everything due to Yu going behind his back and making a deal with the Mafia.
>>738569576On the trailer they put a lot of emphasis on makoto getting to know his singers really well, just saying
>the fireworks scene gave me feelsgod damn this game is going to kill me
>Fo shizzle my nizzleis this really how Japan sounded back then?
>>738569806It's Snoop Dogg's son, Cordell. The guy in the background is called "The Veiled Stranger" according to the site. If you watch the presentation, Cordell mentions that the character he plays is connected to both Orpheus and Makoto.
>>738569806> I also wonder about the blurred guy behind Makoto because he doesn't look Japanese Is the son of Snoop Dogg.
>>738569806>>738569881I forgot to mention but this scene happens in 1951. It seems like shit hits the fan at some point in 1943 which leads Makoto and Yu to lay low in a sleepy seaside town.
>>738569871yes
Makoto.. had a hard life.
>>738569881he can't act for shit
>>738569037Who knows how the game will turn out, but at least the trailer is probably the best I've seen since that one Cyberpunk 2077 CGI trailer with Bullets playing, except that this one was actually in-game and with gameplay showing, so there's no fear that the final thing won't resemble it in any way.
>>738570031We've barely seen anything of him
>literally the first line in the trailer is The Tojo Clan
>>738569181Yeah it's pretty predictable. Kiwami 3 and Hawaii were shit, yes, but they looked like shit from the start. No one was caught by surprise by them being shit. It's not like the games look like the most kino shit on earth every time and then they come out and suck. The ones that look good are good, the ones that look like shit are shit.
snoop dogg is so op
>>73856921265 is homeless simulator. Since music happens throughout you'll collect sounds to play the guitar on the streets to get some coins

hapabros we won
>>738569448Snoop...
>>738566668>daigo's shit leadershipDaigo was objectively a good leader, the issues he was presented were out of his control. He literally had multiple decades-long conspiracies come out of nowhere multiple games in a row, was constantly having the organization bleed money because Majima seemingly hadn't finished Kamuro Hills' construction or guys like Mine and Someya decided now was the time to betray him, he had a secretary of his that was loyal since supposedly 2 just randomly decide to betray him, and many of the people around him decided to go from loyal lieutenants and soldiers to suddenly betraying him at the drop of a hat despite showing no inclination of it.The man even managed to screw up the entire plan in 5 because he figured it out early and managed to get Majima to use his diplomatic skills to work around that in their favor. Even 6 was him having a betrayal on top of 5's nonsensical multi-decade-long betrayal stacked upon him, and then even in 7 he managed to work with Watase to secretly undermine basically everyone and successfully dissolve the Tojo Clan.Daigo was a man repeatedly given the worst hand imaginable and he typically managed to claw his way out of it. 4 was like his only low point and can you blame him? Majima refused to sell Kamuro Hills to the Ueno Seiwa when they were straight up bleeding money because Mine was now "dead", Nishiki's retardation both because of his actions and because of his successors has been destroying the Tojo Clan since 1, he couldn't do anything in 3 because of Kiryu, Kashiwagi was "killed" because of both of them trying to let Kiryu have a normal life, etc.What did you expect him to do? Seriously?
Yakuza flopped in the West>Yakuza blew up as memes on the internet for western audiences.>The sales tell a different story and are tepid and worse entry after entry, Japan and Asia are indeed the majority of sales and that share seems to increase game after game (despite overall sales being lower overall)https://www.installbaseforum.com/forums/threads/bloomberg-netease-to-stop-funding-nagoshi-studio-as-it-cuts-back-on-gaming.4452/page-2#post-406650>sales in Japan and Asia seem to have made up a big part of this momentum, as Yokoyama notes, “The game is incredibly strong in Japan.

Atami has the vibe of a specific western film I just can't remember what
>>738570315i ain't readin' all that bullshit
>>738569661I guess it depends on the city. The very first one probably doesn't need to be as big when he's just some nobody that people refuse to talk to and is only going around following Orpheus. Could just be a prologue kind of deal without much side content, with Kure being the first real hub.
>>738570315
>>738570307putting a bullet into Masato would've been a start>can you blame him? Yes? The ueno seiwa are crushed in a single afternoon by Kiryu. The tojo shouldn't be wagging its tail at themIn 5, he up and vanished and had kiryu clean up his mess again. In 6, how the fuck did he not name someone to ensure interim while he was in jail? Sugai was the most dogshit option possible. Yayoi could've handled it, she did so in the past.
>>738570441I feel like 1915 might be one of the longer points in the game. Makoto seems to have a few different outfits at that point in time and there seems to be some kind of gang warfare mini-game going on. I think 1915 and 1943 may be the longest periods in the game.
>>738570307Based daigo defender, he did some things wrong but he was dealt the shittiest of hands, kiryu dropped the entire clan on him and fucked right off basically refusing to actually be present for him the whole time, its so bad he recognized it all at the end of 6 and formally apologized to him for it
since everyone is running off of fumes and "vibes" on this thread, time to throw some skepticism for the sake of keeping the discussion from devolving into a glazing fest.Not a fan of the sound effect side-quest missions the game has as it's replacement for the checklist missions they've been doing in their last two games. seems pointless and very grindy at a first glance.I didn't enjoy how a majority of the time spent for the presentation was just snoop dog and some nepo plants trying to sell me the game's story instead of showcasing the gameplay at a more in-depth level. Found it strange that a combat-game took a backseat at a gameplay level, which didn't give me hope that the gameplay was actually impressive and was actually just more simplified. The "combat scenarios" they were advertising wasn't given any more description or was explained, it feels like it'll just be a few unique scripted events that are story based more-so then random encounters based on the location or set of events that happen before combat.The sound-byte checklist submissions seem grindy in the effect that it was explained that there were unique sounds given by bosses and other people set around the hub/city. I'm just hoping sounds have a carry-over or at the very least the game has an encyclopedia of sounds that the game saves. >>How many times can you say stranger then heaven in a fucking song?
>>738570485Yayoi only managed to be interim in 2 because Kashiwagi was backing her up. With him "dead", she'd have no support.
>>738570485The yakuza were already on their deathbed. Killing a rising politician like masato would have made the government nuke every single yakuza clan in the country with all their might. Even suggesting that idea is retarded.The thing with the ueno siwa was that the tojo would obviously win but the fact they were already hemorrhaging money meant that fighting a war would have economically destroyed them. Selling majima to the cops was insane though, it's crazy how its never brought up
>>738570609RB RT LB LT combat to independently control your left/right arm or leg sounds terrible. That's my only real criticism. I don't really care if this is a vibes game. I'd welcome a simple, no-nonsense story about two bros over another Infinite Wealth or Daidoji wank nonsense.
>>738570609the music stuff feels like a nightmare for completionists
>>738570609>just noticed I mentioned the music sidequests twice.goddamnit I should proof read these.
I FOUND A PLACEWHERE I HAVE NO BUDGET
>>738570742I like the sound of it. I'd have to try it out myself, but in my head it lets you string together combos, block with your left, counter with your right, etc. I'm sure it'll be significantly less cool than how it is in my head. We'll see.
>>738570609I think it heavily depends on the implementation. Maybe different sounds belong to different types and it's less about the specific sound and more of finding the right types to combine
>>738570787nagoshibros...
I'm excited for this guy. Apparently his family said to go all out if they're going to use his likeness.
>>738570864guess i'll start watching the yakuza papers one of these days
>>738569336>for all her lifeJust during her concerts, no? And it's to fit her anime persona.
>>738570864Takashi Ukaji is actually a close friend of Bunta. Pretty cool they got him to voice his bud.
>>738570864I've just watched battles without honor and humanity and he fucks in that movie. He's literally kiryu
I CAN'T STOP WATCHING THIS FUCKING TRAILER
>>738570485>putting a bullet into Masato would've been a startYou mean the guy who was heavily into being a public governmental figure in a period where the Yakuza had gotten significantly weaker? You don't think Kume would have easily turned that into a major hit towards organized crime? If I remember right Daigo and Arakawa both didn't even know what Masato was truly getting up to until it was too late, they were both primarily focused on the Omi and collapsing the Tojo Clan.>The ueno seiwa are crushed in a single afternoon by Kiryu. The tojo shouldn't be wagging its tail at themThe Tojo Clan in 4 has no money. They are basically bankrupt. The Ueno Seiwa came in offering him a lifeline in exchange for Kamuro Hills and a seat at the table which Majima still after like five years has destroyed and rebuilt twice without opening it. Yes, it would mean giving up a huge part of the Tojo Clan's cards but the Tojo Clan has basically nothing left to make money from in 4. All of its money makers are dead or disorganized and Majima is pretty much all that's left according to the story. The fact that Daigo decides to go chasing Akiyama's personal money should be enough of a clue to show you how dire the straits are.>In 5, he up and vanished and had kiryu clean up his mess again.He literally went to Kiryu to see if he could get his help, Kiryu told him no, and then worked with Katsuya to undermine Kurosawa's plan at every single angle after that including personally going to Shinada.>In 6, how the fuck did he not name someone to ensure interim while he was in jail? Sugai was the most dogshit option possible.He worked for him since 2. He's basically the most trustworthy person to him in the entire Tojo Clan outside of Majima and Majima was in the slammer with him.>Yayoi could've handled it, she did so in the past.Yayoi only did so because of Terada's influence and she was only there for like a week or two. 6 was years.
Do we play it on english dub now that snoop is on it? The english vo of the other characters sounded kinda terrible on the trailer
>>738570986Watch it as many times as you want, but don't give views to the Xbox account.
>>738571124There's only one voiceover.>The english vo of the other characters sounded kinda terrible on the trailerCan't be helped. They are Japanese speakers trying to sound like native anglophones, and at the same time trying to sound like Americans trying to speak Japanese. Let's see how they pull it.
>>738571124>english dubonly has 1 audio trackso nips/americans will be speaking in both jap and englishyou'll even hear akio otsuka speaking in english in the video
>>738571124There's only one dub, all the English is spoken by the Japanese actors
>>738571124There is no dub option. All the Japs speak Jap and and the gaijins speak English. You also got the bilingual boys like Makoto and Yu.
>Nu yakuza game doesn't even have Japanese audio trackit's over
>>738571239Did you watch the trailer?
How the turn tables
>>738571126I'm watching it on Sega's channel.
>>738570742I like the more in your face nature of combat, the closer camera, the limb control, all of the tackling and shit. It's very brutal, meant for impact rather than finesse. Will be a nice contrast against Lost Judgment's nimble and fast combat. I like it in theory.
>>738571239

>>738568585>why werebro they despise the chinese and koreans now and all these guys more or less look the fucking same

>>738571124No. Danny Trejo wasn't enough to save 8
>>738570120Pat's reaction to that is so fucking funny
>>738569017Don't know why they revealed a yakuza connection. That just scares off new people and annoys older fans. It's not even having it at all that's the issue but advertising it
>>738566979> Japan is very quickly becoming the gayest lamest country for games. Before long China and Korea will surpass them and leave them in the dust
wait is kuze back?
>>738571371that nigga has been dead for a decade
>>738571442>and annoys older fansThey need to stop being so sensitive
>rubber snoop dogg
>>738560384I think I'm done with Yakuza.Hopefuly it's actually mistery kino.
>>738568224I have zero interest in another shitty Yakuza game, but the song is pure sex. "Simple and Clean" level kino.
>>738571495Yeah teenage Kuze is confirmed to have a boss fight with sperm cell Kiryu in the sewers
oh god the nukes
>>738571560>mistery kinoit's just a classic poor-to-riches mob story
>>738571616back to poor
>>738571504music is the great equalizer, it transcends barriers
>>738571613makoto will definitely have friends dying in hiroshimakure is listed as one of the levels before the war
>>738570609>seems pointless and very grindy at a first glance.It ties into the rhythm minigame because you make songs at the piano which are then seemingly used by the singers according to the UI. So it's very likely more intricate songs give your singers the ability to make more money which looks like the core minigame and money-making aspect.>Found it strange that a combat-game took a backseat at a gameplay levelDid you watch the hour long breakdown with the interviews? If anything it seems more involved in terms of how you can work with it, the main concern is how intricate will it be? Will we have Black Panther-level combos where transitioning into a left jab from a right kick x2 does a different hit than a right jab into left kick into left jab? The grabbing seems fun, the tackling looks solid, it looks more Black Panther-ish which is nice, and I think outside of it looking more basic it's fine.The big concern with combat is the weapons because they seem to be equip-only and they emphasized you upgrade them and give them special abilities on top of it so I can't imagine past a certain point you fistfighting at all because you will have money to facilitate whatever the limitation is on them. It's all gonna be knives because they seem objectively better than anything we've seen, particularly the slow as hell hammers.
>>738571632kino trope
>this trailer got overshadowed by tendie shitch poopooooo remake slop for toddler baby manchildrensad.tendies ruin everything
looks way better than gang of dragqueens
>>738564374You may have noticed Shinjo doesn't show up in any scenes in 1965. I don't think he's making it past Atami.
>>738570609>>738570742I actually think the hand to hand combat looks cool, it's the weapon stuff I'm not too fond about. I don't want to upgrade weapons, "dude turn your wood hammer into an iron one for 100x what it would realistically cost" feels stupid and that stuff is usually grindy
>>738571635Funny. Nujabes' car transcended a barrier too
>>738571707you have to be 18+ to post here
I'm Eurasian and I look like young Makoto, this is so fucking trippy..
>>738571716oh fuck
I'll have to learn how play mahjong, won't I?
>just a pawn for the yakuza>some things never change
>>738571720>and that stuff is usually grindyEver since like K2 the major minigames for money haven't been really that grindy, and there's usually some alternate method that makes you insanely more money than those minigames or at least something close to parity with it. Quick example being Money Sucking minibosses in 8 and high stakes poker in K3. High stakes poker in K3 is insane for money since one hand won is like 7 mil.
>>738571612>>738571495>turns out Kiryu beat the shit out of Kuze as a kid too.
So did they explain blue glowing? Just style? Or actual supernatural powers?
>>738571868mc is a happa

>>738560853They said this winter, so december to february, already past over Goty 2026 nominees. Also they wont release it in december after GTA
>>738571868Just to show MC is a hafu and no matter how much he wants to fit in, his eyes will make him stand out from his peers just as his mother's race did in America.
>>738571868Probably some artistic liberty to highlight his caucasian heritage. Or he's a CIA plant.
>>738571613Not just that. The war itself. Makoto is a hapa in 1943 Japan. I wonder how they will play with the paranoia aspect of WW II. Will they be brave enough to even touch unit 731?
>>738564964I tire of negros being astroturfed into high seats of power just to appease investors.
>>738571910in the trailer?either of these>lighting stuff>customization>story stuff
>>738571910I thought it was Makoto in disguise. They seemed to imply that one truck fight was him doing something in the story.
>>738571945>Or he's a CIA plant.WE ARE GETTING BEAUTIFUR EYES LET'S GO!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr75w6syfWE

>>738571868there's a reason why he wears glasses in the later part of the game>>738565208his fellow nips might have hated it

>>738572110>tfw older than Kiryu
>>738571868it's the dead giveaway that he isn't fully japanese in a place he wants to call home and at time where a jap can go their whole lives without seeing a foreigner
>>738571716Makes sense that he kicks the bucket if eventually Makoto will change his name to Tojo Makoto. Considering that the "jo" from Tojo comes from Yu's name. It would be weird for him to change his name to reflect their partnership if the original owner of the name is still alive.
>>738567549Closest one we got. She confirmed it herself to be her because it's a personal song.https://youtu.be/YvYii6dluM8
>>738570307>>738570485Evidently, the issue here is that the writing for the RGG series got more and more dogshit as they milked the same cast more.This gives me hope for this game, but since it's still RGG studio, it might turn out pants-on-head retarded anyway.
>>738572110Considering that Kazama killed Kiryu's parents, would that mean they are yakuza associated?
>>738565108>>738566619Yeah, the way people talk in this thread is weird as fuck. Definitely not typical /v/ language, it's eerie.
>>738572460>Definitely not typical /v/ language, it's eerie.you mean /vpol/?
I don't get the hype.

>>738560904It looks more like an actual Yakuza movie than Yakuza game, that game is more of an anime than actual Yakuza flick
>>738572586I don't like Nintendo.>>738572592Rude.
Did Kiriyu's parents have yume?
>>738572619No they were actually two hafus trying to make it in Japan, mirroring Makato and his bro.
>I don't get the hype.

>>738571868>Heat Action Unlocked: Essence of Manifest Destiny
>>738572734It's funny how throughout the entire franchise, Kiryu has only actually been a Yakuza onscreen for like, what? An hour in total?
>>738572734There's a reason why the series is called Like a Dragon, and not Yakuza.Don't (you) me, it's not my fault Sega fucked up the localization twenty years ago.
>>738572774He's officially a yakuza for: >the first two chapters of zero>the aftermath of zero>the first chapter of one>the last chapter of one Technically he was a yakuza after Sera died because of Kazama making him the chairmanHe really hasn't been a yakuza for long...

>>738572734The first game jumped the shark after a couple hours. Zero tried to be more serious for a while longer.Stranger seems to be what the series needed, ditching the old cast (specially Ichiban) and trying to stay on the grim side of the yakuza world

New Yakuza fan. Im working through all the games but anything I should prioritize before STRANGER THAN HEAVEN? I want to play it.
Dude i'm just so happy we're getting a Yakuza game set in Taisho era Japan, even if briefly. I love the Taisho era so much, its peak aesthetics
>>738569095Bro, you can literally see where they've shooped the photo to be more square
>>738574137there's not much other spinoffs you can playotherwise>Y0, K1, K2, K3, 4, 5, 6or>Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5, Y0, Y6
>>738574119bro sperging out lmao
Man, it's great to know other people have just been rewatching the trailer until the quotes are burned into your mind. I can't remember another trailer that has hooked itself into my brain like this.>That right there? That's the Japan you've been dreaming about.>You know, we could always just make our own. Our own country.>So long America! This is my home, and nothing's gonna change that!
>>738574137Probably nothing, the game started around 90 years before yakuza 1. Tojo's rise in japan was never a plot point in the games,.
So I might not play this game but I checked the Yakuza games on Steam and I already heard about some of the games getting delisted and replaced with newer versions. Yakuza 3 specifically got replaced with a shitty remaster and you have to buy the complete series bundle to get the original unfucked version? How jewish.
>>738574137They're advertising it like you don't need any prior knowledge with other yakuza games. Might have some small references but other than that this is a fresh start with completely new characters.
>>738574137You can probably play StH without having played any of the other games, but you should play them anyways because they're great. Start with Yakuza 0.
>>738574268it feels it has sovl, same thing as stranger of paradise trailer where most of /v/ loved it>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0WvpMw0Sko
>>738574314just pirate it
Its just shocking to me how the production level for this is so much higher than any other game in the series. I genuinely wouldn't even have though RGG studio had it in them to make something like this, i love the series but they're pretty AA. This looks like an actual triple A project.
>>738574354>>738574324>>738574278Sweet, thanks. Im currently going through 0 and very much enjoying it. Def will get Stranger than Heaven
>>738574268>>738574375Organic interaction.
>>738574432looks like yokoyama's taking advantage of MS money
>>738574468sorry i meantSNOOP DOGG NIGGERhere you go
>>738574510lmao
>>738573751I mean, if I went as far as to get the family's blessing to use him in the game, I'd also want to use the fuck out of him.
>>738574324I think Yokoyama even confirmed in an interview that none of the characters relevant to RGG are showing up in this.
>>738574616at least he's not a sub-boss in the 40-50s era
>>738573948Garrison Cap aka Side Cap aka Overseas Cap. Hard to tell the exact variant based on the blurry image but the overall silhouette is the same.The US has had them since WW1. Some US occupation forces, including Japanese-American translators, also wore them.
>>738574703oh cool nice findi wonder if bunta has U.S forces in his payroll, or maybe they're arresting him in that scene

>Tojo Clan = bleached
>>738574815I don't understand. Which beloved 4channel post is this a reference to? How am I supposed to know what to think of the new if there's no old???
>>738574691Yokoyama says a lot of things
>it's fucking Yakuzathese fucking hacks
>>738574747I'm reaching, but I feel like Mokoto being a blue eyed hafu that's able to speak English probably gives him a significant advantage that lets him either strike better deals with the US occupiers or know how they operate. Also if that's 1951 then the Korean War is in full swing. Burgers would be on edge about commie spies and collaborators in Japan since it was their launchpad. Maybe Mokoto pointed them in his direction or set him up somehow.
>>738565421Wouldn't he be like 70 years old at that point? I doubt he'd be able to fight at that age, they are probably going to do a protagonist swap for the final era
>>738574952Based
>>738575129>inb4 it's kazama
>>738575117I don't think they will have the balls to delve into the sensitive shit. They will have to reference the A-bombs, but I doubt they will get into nitty-gritty stuff like the Red Scare and McCarthyism.Japan being allied with the Nazis will probably be glossed over so hard that it will be jarring.
>>738575350ichiban...
>>738575409he was too busy in CrossWorlds
>>738560843>game will end with Makoto's death
>>738560384wouldn't surprise me if Makoto ends up added for the next Smash game. Anyways, really looking forward to how the Tojo Clan came to be.
>>738575697A game that isn't on the switch?
>yfw the ending is makoto seeing what the tojo clan has morphed into, is digusted, and forms the daidojiI don't trust them to not somehow shoehorn in the Daidoji for no reason
>>738575747wouldn't be the first time.
the gameplay looks like god of war instead of god hand
>>738575409Don't worry, he'll be a preorder bonus band member for your jazz club shows.
>>738575760>Makoto is Kiryu's father (makes zero sense chronologically)>Makoto ends up forming the daidojiYokoyama is such a fucking hack these two are basically guaranteed.
>most reactions are also of people disappointed with starfoxlollmao
>>738575760>1950s post wardefinitely wouldn't be surprised if we meet the founder himself
>>738575843the daidoji was formed by the fixer so unless Makoto becomes the fixer's main lackey, that's unlikely.
>we'll not only get to see the formation of the tojo clan, but the formation of the amon clan as well
>>738560384yakuza has been the same exact game over and over since 3japanese call of duty
>>738575920what about the omi alliance?
>Yu forms the Omi
>>738576001Already formed before the game starts, it's like 50 years older than the Tojo clan
>>738575920>Makoto is wearing sunglasses >the modern amon clan is a group full of sunglasses dudes>it turns out that the reason why they started was to respect the one hafu who managed to beat them
>>738576020>>738576002oh
>>738576049i will unironically clap
>>738575920Amon clan has been around since Kenzan era but that's a dream Kiryu had apparently like with Ishin and Dead Souls
>>738560904So the same great gameplay + new story + new characters + 5 settings in different periods, yep it's kino
yo tori is thicc af
>>738561883Umm did you forget that brutal death scene in 7 where an eye even pops out>>738561271Retards like you are the reason why most games arent profitable, they look good already
his girl will die in the second city and she will hide his child, you will play his child in the 1965 part and he will be the father of kiryu
>>738560384So basically Nagoshi was an overrated hack who was holding RGG back?Maybe this'll help people realize that it takes more than one person to make a good game.
>>738560384Day 1 buy for me senpai
>>738563803She's the one from Shogun but I think the main one in that show is hotter, not complaining though
>>738565712Infinite Wealth is kino
>game is so good it brought Bunta Sugawara back to life
>>738576693Nah, Fuji best girl.
>>738568224cringe
>>738560384i don't like they way they shoving a cumskin into the game to appeal to westoid audiencesalready a red sign this slop will suck
>>738574375I also really fucking loved Stranger of Paradise. You really can tell when a game is built with soul.
>>738575843>it turns out Kiryu has had the date of his own birth wrong by at least 3 yearsSomehow, still not the dumbest plot twist in this series.
>>738568906depends how much they spent they tend to reuse a lot in most games so they have lower budgets than most releases these days
>>738576895Mogged
>>738563803>>738576895Wait, holy shit she's this chick from Shogun?She gave a pretty damn good performance in that, makes me look forward to seeing her in game.
>>738576905autists would find emotions cringe
I've only played Yakuza 0 and Kiwami 1 ages ago, what the fuck are the Daidoji and why do they suck so much?
>>738567764What occupation? Cause as far as I know Japan wasnt involved in WW1 and in WW2 the US stopped at Okinawa and used the atomic bombs to avoid an invasion? I also know that Japan occupied a region in China before WW2 but I don't see how dying his hair blond would be beneficial to any of this
>>738577084Yakuza Illuminati.They fucking suck and a good portion of the things people don't like story-wise about the new games relate in some way to them.
>>738571951pretty sure they explicitly said that he'll come into conflict with the imperial government, and that seems like a naturalway to do it.
>me watching the trailer
>>738577114>What occupation?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation_of_Japan>Japan was occupied and administered by the Allies of World War II from the surrender of the Empire of Japan on September 2, 1945, at the war's end until the Treaty of San Francisco took effect on April 28, 1952. The occupation, led by the American military with support from the British Commonwealth and under the supervision of the Far Eastern Commission, involved a total of nearly one million Allied soldiers.
>>738568559That makes sense in the real world but this is fiction
>>738569017It's the prequel of everything, this is like 0 where you can just play this one and understand everything
>>738576205A dream he had of a past life, not a dream he had like it never happened
>>738577032By Fuji, yes.
>>738570742I need to be able to remap on controller
>>738575117https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimoyama_incidenthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitaka_incidentThere's Spooky business going on involving unions, commies, and the GHQ at the time, but it's probably too sensitive for them to really delve into.>>738575373>Japan being allied with the Nazis will probably be glossed over so hard that it will be jarring.It's possible, it seems like the government are going to be antagonists for that section
>>738577795kek that expression
I wonder what Nagoshi thinks about all this
>>738577260So Atami 1951 would be where we see american soldier then ok
>>738578085I think in the footage they showed in Tori Kelly's part of the video you could see one white dude at a table already but they still really haven't shown almost anything from Atami
RELEASE THE FUCKING SONG SEGA
>>738578286why are they taking so long fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
>>738573948>>738574703i bet it's a national police reserve officer, the sort of paramilitary security organization that predated the SDF. they had mostly american uniforms with some odd IJA style caps mixed in.
>literally everyone gushing about the songthey were sitting on this for 3 years apparently
just watched the trailer, yeah that's a good onestory looks like it's gonna break people though
>>738578751the fucking trailer already broke me
I have a feeling this game is going to be shit, but praised by normies
>>738578774I have a feeling you suck cocks
>>738575063He also had an interview recently where he said they only realized Yakuza got big in the west with the PC release of 0 when they literally have Sato in an interview years prior stating that 3R, 4R, and 5R only exist because of all the brand new fans brought by the western PS4 release, they kept flinging releases out like water after that point to the point we got K2 and even FotNS out of nowhere fast tracked when no one thought we'd ever get FotNS, and they funded that entire 6 comic just to catch all the new fans up from 0 to buy 6.Yokoyama seems to either have selective memory or just randomly says stuff for the sake of it.>>738575760Daidoji are 100% going to be there since K3 and 3G both have now used them, 9 is clearly making them the main antagonist, and this game takes place during and after the period where they were formed since it was the aftermath of Japan's loss in WW2 and the subsequent reformation of their government. There is zero chance they're not involved with the Tojo Clan in some way, or someone tied to someone Makoto knows because they were pretty much all the members of government that weren't from America.
>shitty yakuza asset flipnever will make GOTY
>>738579151you're far too late to be making bait this bad
since when does an rgg game get so much hypeI'm not saying it's not gonna be good but keep your hopes lower. I dont trust yokoyama
>>738579434>I dont trust yokoyamat. Nagoshi
>>738579461pls dont cancel my game
>>738563190I don't think he's Punished there. I think he's content.
Will they mention the nukes?
>>738579652It wasn't time yet.
