I have no idea what the fuck is even going on in that trailer besides him apparently getting out of prison or something.
Oi m8 was that my sexy Korean boy toy join-gi Han?
Also Jesus fuck does anyone at ryu ga gotoku studios sleep?
I love Ichiban already
Also.. holy fuck these animations and voice acting and a 2020 western relase.
My penis can't handle this, even if its gonna be the same city and same story like always. Feels good to come home.
Its turn based LMAO
no way, this is some minigame shit or something like the construction company
Looks really fun.
nope.
Why can't sega do anything right?
This is the only franchise they haven't completely fucked up and they decide to shake it up like it's innovative
This will kill the series and Sega knows it which is why there's going to be more of LE WACKY MAJIMA
>run button
It's actually turn based isn't it?
Valkyrie Profile?
wow sega doing the same thing for the 7th+ time instead of fixing their shitty franchises or making new ones
i'm so happy
based, that makes it even better
Really gets your blood pumping
twitter.com
What the FUCK
Nigga I'm confused
Are they listening to the people who played one game and complained about the combat?
Holy shit, the April Fool's video was actually Yakuza 7.
>they turned it into persona
WAIT, SO THIS APRIL FOOLS IS REAL?!
youtube.com
What did he mean by this?
No they're just trying something different. Nagoshi said they'd change it back to normal if people dont like it
>game series is a JRPG now
WHY.
The game's primary audience is already japanese women, not a huge surprise they'd make it more accessible to them.
Never cared about Yakuza but this looks interesting especially since its a new story too.
WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING, THEY HAD JUDGEMENT AND GOT GREAT REVIEWS AND EVERYONE LOVED IT, WHY IS THIS AN RPG?????
>do something different
>by completely changing the genre of the game
Fuck I forgot about that
Seems like people are pretty pessimistic about it
Boy don't you look silly right now.
>Turn based shit
Throw it into the trash
We're being punished for complaining about ps4 yakuza combat
i know this is controversial, but do any of these games have English dubs?
I'd be fine with the idea of a JRPG Yakzua if it was some sort of spinoff like Dead Souls being a third-person shooter. That or if they really want party-combat, just make it realtime with the option to pause and flip between characters to issue certain actions/combos if the AI is being dumb.
this is was a meltdown looks like.
>Marine rape baby MC
How are the japs and okinawans going to handle this?
Honestly, they had 7 games to make the combat good and they never did. It never evolved beyond adding more cinematic QTEs. I'll take this over the eighth game in a row of punching and dodging over and over.
The ps2 ones did and no one compares to takuya kuroda and hidenari ugaki
Mark Hamil as Majima tho
no this is a brave creative decision you fucking npc
This
The same way they handled the hafu I guess
Yes, that's what doing something different means.
what the fuck
>nagoshi played persona 5 once and decided to change the entire genre of his decade long franchise
No Nagoshi saw what Square Enix did to FF7 and decided to save turn-based jrpg and bring truth to the world
Apparently takuya kuroda played cranky in Japanese thomas and friends
Imma need a clip
GUYS WHAT IF HE CHANGED IT TO SUPER MONKEY BALL STYLE?
Holy fuck bros I can't believe it...
Go to 0:57 boyyy
can't they just partner with platinum like square did with automata to improve the combat? wait, aren't Sega buddy buddy with platinum? this sounds like a no brainer.
>Korean Virgil is still alive
FUCKING HOW
Is that a JoJo reference?
Turn based rpgs are probably my favorite genre but what in the everloving fuck, I'm not sure what possessed them to do this, especially after finally making a new engine.
would've been cool
IT'S SO FUCKING SLOW, holy shit man, this is gonna make people so freaking mad.. like this might actually cause insane damage to the series
>e combat good and they never did. It never evolved beyond adding more cinematic QTEs. I'll take this over the ei
based
>make a new engine literally just to make a better combat system
>change the series into a turn based rpg
I literally cannot comprehend what brought them to do this
this is an april's fool joke btw
oh man I hope so
i'm kinda confused too, more so since the dragon engine was actually pretty fun once you unlocked enough stuff. (or in kiwami 2 where it was actually finished)
I thought it was only western fans confused, Japs seem super fucking mad on the RGG studio's Japanese twitter
DROPPED
Nagoshi and his team want to try a new genre. They're probably tired of only doing action games and want to shake it. Nagoshi even said if Y7 does bomb then they'll just go back to the action format, but the games will probably become even more by the numbers because Nagoshi's passion will probably be gone.
The PS5 is right around the corner, who knows what they'll pull out for that.
Girl kick butt.
no one tell him
I KNEW IT WAS HIM
Prolly a twin if we're thinking in yakuza terms
Yakuza 1, FOTNS: Lost Paradise, and Judgment have dubs
I'm down for turn-based but it just looks so slow and anemic
>yakuza
>turn based
why would they do this
There's just something inherently funny about hearing Kiryu's voice come out of that fucking thing.
what the fuck
it's actually turn-based
i enjoy turn-based games but i also really liked yakuza the way it was, what the actual fuck
Because Japan loves turn-based RPGs and the devs are bored of making the same combat over and over again.
>but i also really liked yakuza the way it was
okay, you have 10+ games that play like that
The game is gonna flop like and then they're going to make a new turn based RPG IP like they did with Binary Domain to make up for the mess that Dead Souls was.
What are the chances they're playing the long haul to get as much attention and mess with as many people as possible?
Also the inevitable Judgement 2
ryu-ga-gotoku.com
>This work is a “live command RPG battle” that combines the fighting action of the “Ryu ga Gotoku” series with the RPG command system.
It has evolved into a system where anyone can easily enjoy an exhilarating battle.
In a completely renewed battle, Kasuga Ichiban and his friends thrive by selecting techniques with various effects such as attack, recovery, and assistance.
Please enjoy a dynamic brawl full of realism with various enemies.
LMAO
Fucking dropped
>Japan loves turn-based RPGs
Yeah, and they like their Ryu ga Gotoku too. Now they're pissed at this new one and are right to do so.
>billions years and threads of Yakuza games
>Yea Forums never talked about the combat even once
>Suddenly they changed it
>Yea Forums suddenly talked about the combat
Admit it, You guys never like the combat anyway.
this aint it chief
Just like how Dragon Quest and Persona 5 flopped in Japan?
RGG sales have been declining for awhile. That's why they're trying something new.
THIS THIS THIS
>Virgil is back.
How in the world are they going to explain this? Are they gonna pull a Ryo? A Beautiful Eyes?
Back in the 5 days, when we still had the Jim Carrey poster, people cried about the combat being stale and too hard all the time.
>Yea Forums never talked about the combat even once
I guess you should've browsed some threads then, combat is like 70% of these games' content, of fucking course people discussed it. Especially when Dragon Engine came around.
FATLUSERS ruin everything.
I'm more confused than I am angry.
I like the combat enough to do the ultimate battles in every game I can.
>Just like how Dragon Quest and Persona 5 flopped in Japan?
No, but I just want them to make another one-off game because Binary Domain was really good.
yeah i'm fucking confused.
Someone getting obscene amounts of plastic surgery to look like him, calling it now.
> 70% of these games' conten
No it doesnt, its ether
>the story
>which porn artist should yakuza get next?
>Just like how Dragon Quest and Persona 5 flopped in Japan?
Are you really going to use beloved franchises with the SAME type of gameplay as an example? Do you think a new Dragon Quest would sell like hot cakes if it was now an RTS?
>urban RPG with flashy special attacks
cool?
Welp RIP Yakuza and RIP Ichi
This is going to go abysmally bad and then in a scramble to save the franchise they'll bring back Kiryu.
I like how everyone's big issue is that it has 7 in the title, and that it'd be fine if it was a spin-off title.
I understand why, but WHY?
The guy Kasuga meets after getting out of the garbage reminds me so much of Anno Hideaki for some reason.
>Do you think a new Dragon Quest would sell like hot cakes if it was now an RTS?
Yes, it probably would.
Japs are mad as fuck right now
>This isn't a minigame, it's the actual combat.
Why in the world would they go this direction? I mean, I'm all for it and let's see how it ends up in actual practice outside of a show demo, but it seems like this should be minigame or spinoff tier, not the next major title gameplay. At least Ichiban has the baseball bat from the April Fool's teaser.
So it's not an April Fool's in retrospect.
>combat is like 70% of these games' content
And no one in this board care about it.
I bet most of Yea Forums spend most of their times in cabaret club.
>something new
>turn-based RPG mechanics
>comfykino is now even comfier
fucking nice eat shit realtime fags
You're not the only one who thought that.
Automata had shit combat though. One of the worst games Platinum has made gameplay wise.
Man, i love turn-based RPGs but they didn't even have the balls to make a GOOD turn-based RPG, it looks simple as fuck. They didn't even try to make it unique or standout, its just a bogstandard turn-based RPG BUT NOW IN A CITY!!!!!
The fucking actual April Fool's joke looks more interesting and has more unique ideas.
youtu.be
>Do you think a new Dragon Quest would sell like hot cakes if it was now an RTS?
DQ has had tons of games that werent RPGs and most of them were profitable
Would Yea Forums play a jojo game with the gameplay of this monstrosity?
The japan fans are going nuclear against it
Why Yea Forums suddenly cares about the combat?
What the fuck are you actually talking about? Every single fucking Yakuza thread has at least one user screaming about the combat and posting webms.
There used to be plenty of talk about the combat before all you zoomers discovered Yakuza 0.
>Builders sold ~200k in Japan
>DGQ XI sold 2 million copies in Japan
Huh, they really liked it.
Did you see the footage? It looks exactly like the April Fool's video, except they're dicking around showing all the controls off on stage.
As long we get confirmation that Judgement 2 is being, they'll be fine
That's why I'm pissed that they just slapped a 7 on it as if it's an actual sequel. Do we even know if it'll directly connect to recent mainline entries?
>why does Yea Forums care about gameplay in a GAME
jeez whiz it sure is a mystery
>There used to be plenty of talk about the combat before all you zoomers discovered Yakuza 0.
So you guys admit the combat is shit and stale?
that's some next level trolling it gotta be
>every screenshot of the game in this thread
Wait a minute, i recognize those enemies....
so the april fools teaser they did turned out to be a legit demonstration
200k for a spin-off that is just a Minecraft mod is really good though
The only gameplay Yea Forums cares in Yakuza is only the story you fucking hypocrite, that and the fucking porn sluts.
Do you think the april fools video was to gauge people's interest?
>the dragon is over
Don't say that. Shit cuts deep mang
Is it bread or a banana ?
>the combat is shit and stale
It's not, Dragon Engine brought new life into the gameplay and was a great addition to the games' formula. Now though, we'll have shitty and stale turn-based combat, and you fags will praise it for being NEW.
>random twitter whiner
>except now in Japanese
Never change Yea Forums
I always cared, but I haven't gotten around to 6 yet and I've barely played 5 so I can't say much about the new engine.
>they couldn't get dragon engine combat to feel as good as the ps3 games so they took away direct control
lmao
>literal who twittercaps matter if they speak wapanese
Maybe it started as a joke and they had actual ideas for it
bread
Twinkie?
I thought it was a twinkie
the jap twitter is full of them. There's a reason Nagoshi had to make a public statement so quickly
And this doesn't count any of the posts that don't have the word 'Yakuza' in it, but are in those threads complaining about combat. Try actually using the archive for even one second before being stupid.
same here
Wait, what? Why?
Are they purposely continuing the April fools joke?
This is the longest april fools joke out there.
I bet everyone bitching about the combat has already bought tickets to the new Joker movie.
>It's not, Dragon Engine brought new life into the gameplay
HAHAHAHAHHAHA
The combat is literally mini version of dynasty warrior, this is the reason why NO ONE TALKED about it in Yea Forums despite ONE RETARD said the combat is like 70% part of the game.
ADMIT IT, you guys never seriously talked about the combat because its boring shit compare to the other content in this game.
why the fuck do they keep making these shit games no one wants? no one is buying this shit. make a new jet set radio or something. fucking sega are so detached from their userbase.
Remember when 6 came out and everybody bitched about how shitty the combat was compared to earlier titles? And then Kiwami came out and everyone bitched about the boss fights?
You guys will bitch about anything and still pre-order, so it doesn't matter what they do.
Good thing this is gonna flop hard since the jap twitter got over 2000 angry replies. Only ones supporting it are the western secondaries
This is dead souls all over again, and I don't even care anymore. I got my fill
I guess my theory was right on all caps phrases being a direct sign of low IQ or bait, I will make sure to never use it from now on.
See:
Retard. "No one talked about it guiz, trust me!". Do you think none of us post in Yakuza threads or something to call you out on this shit?
Just saw the turn based shit
How bad is Yea Forums freaking out.
Such a drastic change. It is pretty crazy.
So where's the shit like eating an Attack of Opportunity for not dealing with the dude in front of you? Environmental-based dual techs? Being able to hit multiple dudes with one Heat Action because they walked into your AoE range? Pursuit attacks against downed opponents? Being able to equip items you find off the street?
Why in the world would they change the game's entire genre and then proceed to not show off anything that would make said genre shift worth it? Even if this was a spin-off, it still would be a very boring RPG.
I don't understand what point you're making here, user. It looks like shit
I fucking did. Fighting styles are one of the best mechanics i've ever seen in a videogame and instead of that im getting facefucked right now, i am absolutely right to be mad.
>I don't even care anymore. I got my fill
Honestly, this. They'll release it, get their fair pushback and either retire the RGG series to focus on Judgement and other titles or make another Yakuza brawler. No point in fussing about this one.
twitter.com
Major outrage from actual yakuza fans. Eat shit newfags
arch.b4k.co
>ace combat and yakuza in the same post
HURR RETARD
arch.b4k.co
>every post is a post about how bad combat in yakuza is
EAT SHIT
Probably, but how they didn't realize everyone liked it as a joke is really weird. To devote the next main (Not spinoff) game to that combat is such an odd and out there choice you have to wonder what was going on with their minds and boardroom discussions to decide on it. It's like Halo fans when Halo War was announced except in this case this is the next Halo, not a spinoff.
I can only imagine they decided Judgment is what the main combat will be focused on now, that's the only thing I can think of.
Because this is just a reveal and a chance to show off the actors and actresses they've got. It's why they didn't immediately post a gameplay trailer, instead just a brief little demo showing off the new direction. If you want all the little details wait for TGS, just like every other game.
Fuck off, amerifats. No one knows what a twinkie is.
>a bunch of Japanese nobodies with less than 100 followers
Just like every other twitter bitch thread. What's your point?
I'm still gonna get it though more yakuza is more yakuza
ADMIT IT, you're just bad at action games because you fumble with your fat sausage fingers and can never get anything right, that's why you need boring turn-based shit so you don't die of a heart attack.
EAT SHIT >combat is good guys, plz belif me
Post yfw this announcement
>Yea Forums is just retards that do nothing but jack-off to story-based games
ok maybe but that's just a majority, i actually like to play games
>random looking npc nobody as party member
>slow and teddious battle
>no more badass and hype adrenaline rush that some Yakuza bosses gave us
Yup this game is going straight into the trash.
So I've only played Kiwami, who the fuck is this dude?
>It's like Halo fans when Halo War was announced except in this case this is the next Halo, not a spinoff
That's a good comparison. Halo Wars was fine, but imagine if it was straight up mainline Halo 4. That's the kind of baffling shit we're talking about here.
>they didn't post a gameplay trailer but they showed gameplay in a demo
We can still deduce a bunch of things from it concerning the new gameplay. So far it looks like a slog.
HAHAHAHA I DONT GIVE A SHIT IF IT BECAME TURN BASED, RTS OR A FUCKING MINESWEEPER IN THE NEXT GAME
I JUST LAUGHING AT YOU GUYS THINKING THAT NOW YAKUZA COMBAT EVER BEEN GOOD WHEN ALL THE TIME YOU GUYS SHITTING ON IT ON EVERY FUCKING SEQUELS.
EAT SHIT FAGGOT.
Kasuga Ichiban. Completely new character.
Stop get that shop outta here
Thats going to be a one star rated game on amazon japan.
Can we all blame Persona 5 for poisoning the well of Japanese Games now?
Ichiban, he's taking over from Kiryu who was retired in 6.
Stoked.
Eat shit you depressed sacks of wasted guts.
Judgement will become the new Yakuza.
>This one post of thousands isn't about the combat in Yakuza
Did I say it was?
>every post is a post about how bad combat in yakuza is
Right, almost like people on Yea Forums have talked about the combat in Yakuza before now
>HURR RETARD EAT SHIT
So, if I got this straight, you incorrectly interpreted the meaning of my post and are now mocking your own incorrect interpretation? The claim was that people on Yea Forums never talked about Yakuza Combat. A minute long glance through the archive proves otherwise. Nothing in your post disproves that or even demonstrates an awareness of what my post was saying.
>instead of a battle against random thugs lasting 20 seconds it will now last 5 minutes
WHAT WERE THEY FUCKING THINKING? WHY WOULD THEY MAKE IT EVEN MORE TEDIOUS FOR FUCK SAKE
"W-where are all the fans?"
While a fair point, I would not say that I am impressed with anything they have shown so far. I'm someone that doesn't even like Yakuza's combat all that much and loves turn-based RPGs and this doesn't make me interested at all. If they wanted this to be the future of the franchise, playing it safe and boring isn't how you do it.
Theres a run button
It's one thing to take risks it's quite another to change the entire genre of your 15-year established franchise. Imagine if Devil May Cry 5 had done this. Regardless of if it ends up good or not they're seriously betting the whole franchise, this could easily kill it.
The combat still shit and no one in Yea Forums like it except retard like you,
and you have 1000+ turn based jrpg
Hey look, the series is finally doing something that isn't rehashing the exact game for the past fifteen years.
Going to wait till they put out more before I fully judge it, though doubt it'll be dead souls tier.
>this could easily kill it.
Maybe that's the point?
All spin off.
This is Yakuza 7
>there are taking a character from a fucking online game and making him the main character of the series
Oh fuck, its KH3 all over again.
I thought Yea Forums hates combat in Yakuza series.
I have all the Yakuza games 100% both trophies and completion (including Yakuza 5 JP) so I can at least weigh in on this.
This is a dangerous move they're doing. This is not a multi-million IP that they can fall a few times and pick up where they left off. One failure can hurt them badly, and it did with Dead Souls which led to Yakuza 5 not being localized till Sony came in. This is on top of how bad Y6 did and it was IMO a terrible game as Kiryu's final send-off. Then they made Lost Paradise and Judgement and I had faith in this IP once again, but Y7 is making me really confused on all this. This is one of those franchises that I feel close to heart
On top of their core audience being angry, this is definitely not gonna sell well in japan. Dunno about west, but all I know is that the IP is in danger. As for the shift, I need to see more or at least play the demo. I like turn-based games, but I dunno if I'll like yakuza turn-based.
If this was a spin-off I would be fine with it. But, to remove the series' fundamental gameplay for a mainline installment doesn't make any sense. No wonder its turning off Yakuza fans. This equivalent to a reverse FFXV.
They should build and expand onto the original core gameplay. Not replace it.
First Yakuza fans were divided with Yakuza 0.
Then they were divided with Kiwami remakes vs Originals.
Then they were divided into console and pc.
Now witness as the Yakuza fanbase is divided once again in action vs rpg.
considering I haven't cared about the last few yakuza games, I'm actually pretty excited for this one
not sure why they didn't make a new spinoff to do this in, though
Yeah, now it's rehashing the tired old turn-based RPG combat, how innovative. Why improve and expand when you can replace, right?
He was already announced to be the new protag before the online game came out
Wait, the turn-based combat from the April Fools joke is actually the combat for Yakuza 7?
This is confirmed?
>that combines the fighting action of the “Ryu ga Gotoku
>combines the fighting action of the “Ryu ga Gotoku
>the fighting action of the “Ryu ga Gotoku

>action
hum yeah ok how is that combining?
I never said the combat in Yakuza was good you raging autist. The claim was that, and I quote
>Yea Forums never talked about the combat even once
When that is untrue. Don't fly into a tard rage and make retarded assumptions about me defending Yakuza combat when all I did was point out that people have in fact, talked about it on Yea Forums already.
I never once said Yakuza combat was good. You assumed that and are arguing with the imaginary voices in your head. Try not to be retarded for one second and actually read the posts you reply to.
I see. You went from no one talked about combat, to people talked about combat, they were just shitting on it.
Nice backpedal, retard.
DMC strong point is the combat so your point is retarded.
Yakuza combat was never the main point of the game, even Yea Forums shit on the combat 24/7 in every sequels, every post that mention the combat always talked about how shit it is.
He was decided to be the main character before the online game. Online was basically a backstory for him but from what I understand it's not canon since it's some sort of AU. It was more to let people gradually get used to how he would act as a character.
This Yea Forums prediction posts written is such a confident "ACHKUALLY" manner alwasy crank me up when their screens are later posted
Okay, glad you agreed that Yakuza combat is shit.
That's all I care.
This is on top of how bad Y6 did and it was IMO a terrible game as Kiryu's final send-off.
What? It was fine
leave the thread you dirty Brazilian
Well they're using the same old engine but this time the inputs are commands
HOW INNOVATIVE
>admit it you hates action combat
>i dont care
>eh, nice backpedal
Who are you quoting?
>cut half the content and rush out the engine before it even finishes
>good
I understand that you have a severe mental deficiency and are ESL but try to actually read posts before you have an autism meltdown. Tard wranglers have it hard enough as it is without you punching holes in your wall because the schizo voices in your head are talking over the posts you read on the internet.
>It has evolved into a system where anyone can easily enjoy an exhilarating battle.
Anyone can understand and comprehend turn based battles, but that doesn't mean everyone likes it.
I rather be a monkey than a hypocrites.
These are your 4 party members, say something nice about them
>Then they were divided into console and pc.
Pretty sure the point of PC ports was always:
1. Getting a new audience on the PC
2. Double/triple dipping into idort autist pockets
At least I'm not a hypocrite.
Yeah i don’t see them ever topping Dead Souls either, that game was lightning in a bottle.
>nagoshi makes yakuza 7 turn based
>Yea Forums threads tear themselves apart simultaneously arguing about how they didn't care about the combat and did at the same time
>when the game comes out the only people left will be the ones who actually like the games for the story
>good discussion on Yea Forums comes back
is nagoshi...dare I say...based?
BREAD
BITING
TECHNOLOGY
turn based battle....how revolutionary......
>this is definitely not gonna sell well in japan. Dunno about west, but all I know is that the IP is in danger
I think Japan will make it or break it with this game. Western sales are too unreliable when it comes to RGG as is, and now you have this change in gameplay on top of the issue. I don't have much faith desu.
This genre change feels so hamfisted and strange. There's elegant ways to introduce turn-based elements into an action game if they really felt like that was a direction they wanted to explore. If the turn-based gameplay system they designed is too basic and lacks strategic elements I could definitely see this being the death of the series.
Maybe they're still planning on doing Yakuza 0-2 as a more traditional entry?
Some retards have autism and others have aspergers. You're both classified as retards.
Hmm, didn't know that. I knew that Kiryu retired at 6, but didn't know they already had a replacement set out for him.
Is the online game also a turn based RPG? It's the thing I can think of for this making any sense.
name one turn-based JRPG with AAA production
>SEGA captures lightening in a bottle with Zero and makes the popular Yakuza game to date in the west, sparking more global interest
>'LOL TURN-BASED'
I just realized. Yakuza games already get up to 50 or more hours because of all the mini games and side content. JRPGs already take up to 50 or more hours.
Yakuza 7 is combining these to create one hell of a long ass fucking game.
>he's never eaten a deep fried twinkie
I rather be retard than a hypocrite that thinking Yea Forums ever like Yakuza combat.
GET SCHOOLED FAGGOT!
>this will kill yakuza in the west again
>it will also kill the 0 only pc baby tards
Sound good.
Looking at some of the shit being spewed across the internet, I'm starting to think the people defending this change somehow deluded themselves into believing that out of all the other turn-based RPG's out there that have pretty much stuck to the same formula for the past 30 years, Yakuza will be the one to deliver something fresh.
>Yea Forums is a hivemind
yes but
Imagine having to fight the last boss like that
It kills all the hype
But why do we play as a nigger, though?
This is what the gameplay's like. It's your typical money vacuum P2W gacha game.
I also have 100% in the entire series and i honestly prefer Y6 and Dead Souls over Judgement. Those games both massively changed up the gameplay and ended up being way more memorable than running around Kamurocho mashing square for the 15th time. Granted the Y7 combat looks pretty dull but i’m still excited for an all new map.
Right, and I already established that I never thought that and you came up with that imaginary boogeyman your self. Did you already forget
>all the other turn-based RPG's out there that have pretty much stuck to the same formula for the past 30 years, Yakuza will be the one to deliver something fresh.
Well it finely is delivery a protagonist that isn't a teenager. How many jrpgs can you name with an adult protagonist? Now how many of those are turn based?
The women is literally just a random npc.
Found the redditor who doesn't know what a quote is.
Nice samefagging faggot.
>Yakuza
>AAA production
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
I'm really excited to have Hideaki Anno do his Ultraman finisher move.
Okay, glad you agreed that Yakuza combat is shit.
That's all I care.
Oh he died? I had no idea, I skipped the cutscenes. Shame, I thought he was cool
Yeah cool now its going to be a 150 hours long game because you will have to watch 30 seconds attack animation everytime you fight random streets thugs #2334325
>most interesting character in 0, 4, and 5
>barely present in 6
>likely won't be in 7 because new protagonist
>IP dies after 7 because lolturnbased
This is an injustice
are you having a stroke?
Oh boy.
Damn, it seemed like there was no evidence the game even existed, but now it's just coming out in a few months?
Also, it's weird how Ichiban has the same VA as Nishiki. I'm going to keep thinking about that the whole time I play it.
Are you mad that Yea Forums hates Yakuza combat?
Yakuza has never been an action game. Despite the seemingly real-time brawler combat, the RPG elements of the game have always largely overshadowed any hints of pure action the game has.
So it's actually good that they're finally abandoning all pretenses of Yakuza being an action game. I just hope that they make the turn-based RPG part of it fun. So far, this unfortunately doesn't seem to be the case, because the WEBMs show that the RPG combat is very slow. It is also lacking one of the things that makes traditional turn-based JRPGs cool, which is the cinematic camera angles.
You forgot about grinding and leveling up. This game will become 350 hours to platinum.
No, I'm asking if you're having a stroke.
I'm not talking about the characters, or the story. Merely from a gameplay perspective.
You sounds mad tho.
They do this with ever Yakuza game. Keep mostly mum about it until 6-8 months before the release date and do a big reveal conference right before TGS and dump all the info on everyone for the next month or two. Then they go quiet until the month before the game comes out and start ramping up commercials. It's just how they roll.
I mean, this is the sort of RPG setting I really dig but I still can't quite wrap my head around this whole thing.
can't really call it samefagging if im not trying to hide it
Oh, thank God.
I haven't even finished 0 yet, and I still have to play basically the rest of the series. I was worried that they'd keep releasing new titles and I'd never catch up.
Now I can no longer care about the new games and I can finish the rest in my own time. Thanks Sega!

>Comments filled with nips saying they don't want this shit
lmaoooooo
To actually make a good turn based battle system, you have to have experience. These guys have none. And it just kills the pacing and everything.
I'm sorry to tell you this, but text on a computer screen doesn't produce sound. You may be confusing them with the schizo voices in your head telling you that everyone who disagrees with you must like Yakuza combat.
>some retards actually think they can make a good turn based gameplay in this setting
You people are so stupid I love it. It feel good to be high IQ.
I would rather take Ishin.
It's always been an Action RPG, or I guess you could argue "brawler" RPG, since the first game. Most of the people bitching right now are the same people who sperged out whenever you mentioned any Yakuza game being an RPG at it's core. They're just retarded.
okay fine AA production
>long ass rebuttal
Yup, still mad.
GO! GO!
POWER RANGEEEEEEEEEERS!
What ever makes you feel better. I'll just assume you cannot argue what I posted in
and leave the thread on that note.
Going through twitter and 2chan and the reaction is a mixture of confusion and excitement, with many people praising how its taking pointers from Dragon Quest over other modern turn based series in combat based on footage. Gaming blog comments seem enthusiastic at how strange a modern crime oriented turn based rpg is and are wondering if it'll breakout like Persona 5 did.
There's a few people saying they won't buy it and are angry but very few meltdowns.
It'll be interesting to see if this attracts a wider audience there or if the minority currently put off by the genre shift will snowball into a lot of discontent among fans as further details emerge.
If they're going to rip off Persona they should at least commit to making a stylish UI and cool animations. I'm not worried about it being a turn-based Yakuza game as much as it being a bad JRPG.
Okay, glad you agreed that Yakuza combat is shit.
That's all I care.
I wonder if you retards shit your pants this much when Mario had a turn based RPG
why is kazuya mishima in it as a ghost?
>Also, it's weird how Ichiban has the same VA as Nishiki
Shimano is the Taxi boss
Sayaka is one of the T-set
Rikiya is the chink dude in 6
Handa is Nagumo
>read the comments
>they all wish this was real
>it become real
>everyone hate it now
Look like Sega took the internet too seriously.
honestly not even mad. i have never once played any yakuza title and thought "yes, i'm playing this for the combat."
>cutscenes
>story
>minigames
the combat is boring enough to make me look forward to those 3 assets that provide me entertainment
i still don't care about this combat but at least it won't be as uninteresting as MASH SQUARE IN BRAWLER/RUSH FOR 90 HOURS
looks fucking terrible
You're so fucking retarded like I can't believe how fucking retarded you are.
Most normal people are open to change and new ideas, especially in a series as large as fucking Yakuza. Also if it turns out it sucks then they'll just go back to more action for the next game. Yakuza has always been an RPG at it's core, so this isn't a huge leap. If anything this'll make items and equipment actually relevant again for the first time since 4/5.
>praising how its taking pointers from Dragon Quest over other modern turn based series
Main character is a DQ fanboy and what we've seen has outright lifted certain elements of it already, think its fair to say it'll play out like the series
I'm getting some serious deja vu here
Thanks for confirming you're a moron, retard
I'm getting some serious mad here
Yeah instead it will press square once and watch 30 second attack animation that you will see 32324534534 during your playthrough.
EPIC!
>it even has waifubait characters like the girl next to akiyama because a gacha full of 40 year old dudes would fail
is there a full version of her card
Fuck
Why are you going to buy it if you hate it so much?
Can someone explain to me how can people play turn based rpg games without falling asleep? they're so fucking boring.
>story
lol
if yakuza team has any kind of brain they'll add a skip animation/no animation option so at least fights end faster than they start
Yeah, the guy that spamming the same post over and over seems to be pretty mad if that's really all he's capable of spouting
Who said I was?
>Sakura Wars is real time now
>Yakuza is turn based
WHAT'S HAPPENING
>Yakuza is now Persona
So, Social Links confirmed?
Wait a fucking second, did Judge Eyes/Judgement already come out? How was it? It flew out so quietly I had no idea.
Did they keep their word and make sure there was an English Localization that was closer to the original if you were playing with the JP dub?
Not him but i'm not gonna buy it, i'm gonna watch the story and side quests on youtube.
Why else would you waste your time in a thread about a game if you weren't interested? Why not spend your time discussing things you enjoy? It'd make you a happier person overall, probably.
why U mad tho?

You have to be a high level incel weeb which is why most of Yea Forums are praising this change.
imagine owning Atlus and doing this
Yes. Judgment is the new Yakuza kino and Y7 is the spin off.
using the jap voices automatically gives you a more accurate subtitle track while the dub uses dubtitles.
agreed. Why can't Yea Forums accept that JRPGs are dogshit?
The combat in that looks fun as hell, and as we've seen in the few clips from the converence some of those attacks and UI has carried over into the final game. If that april fool's video is the groundwork of the combat system, it's going to be a lot of fun.
>played all the previous games in the series and enjoyed them
>WHY ARE YOU IN THIS THREAD!??!?!?!?!?!
You're one of those braindead consumers that never question thing huh.
need a version with this
All you're doing is bitching about something you're no longer interested in. What's the point?
I'm not. Not even the original guy you were fighting with.
Just thought your butthurt was funny enough to point out as an onlooker
Still sounds mad to me.
>like a dragon quest 7
Fuck me, I’m usually up on Yakuza’s releases. Didn’t catch it at all.
So quality wise how does it compare to the others? Any negatives? Glad to hear they kept their word on the Japanese dub/sub as I really didn’t want some cringey scene about “problematic” cat calling.
>nnnuuuuOOOOOOO I DONT WANT BOOMBOOM TURN BASED COMBAT WITH STRATEGIC DEPTH AND VARIED COMBAT OPTIONS EVERY TURN THAT CHALLENGE MY MENTAL ABILITIES WHILE REWARDING ME WITH GLORIOUSLY GOOFY ANIMATIONS AND THEMEING FOR STANDARD RPG SKILLS

I don't understand how can you say. You're nothing of the long game here you're thinking like a dumb normalfags npc that get impressed by the fatality in MK without understand that after seeing them once shit is boring as fuck.
That looks soulful, I'm getting it, if it comes out in English.
>Do you think a new Dragon Quest would sell like hot cakes if it was now an RTS?
I'm still waiting for a new Torneko. If Chunsoft can't be trusted then give it to Matrix

did they add Chinkohama as a playable area?
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOO NO CRITICISM ALLOWED ONLY POSITIVE THOUGHTS ALL THE TIME!
Just go to reddit if you want a safe space so bad
everyday I wake up feeling grateful that I'm not a brainlet pleb who thinks turn-based jrpgs are bad,boring and outdated. It is the best and most fun game genre. It's the little things in life that matters.
That's not an honest comparison. This is the next mainline game. It's the equivalent of Gears of War Pop! being Gears of War 5, Halo Wars being Halo 4, Metroid Prime Federation Force being Metroid Prime 4, or Valkyria Revolution being Valkyria Chronicles 4. No one would bat an eye if this was a side game whatsoever, or even a minigame, the reason everyone's up in arms is because the next mainline game looks like a spinoff, and the spinoff looks like a mainline game.
That's not to say it won't be interesting to see how it works out and an open mind is the best thing to have at this point, especially because the April Fool's stuff looked silly and fun, but it's definitely an unexpected and ridiculous change.
It was pretty great, the first couple chapters are slow because they have to hammer in character backstories, attitudes, development, and a bunch of stuff to flesh everyone and the story out. Once they do that it really ramps up to a pretty great story. Combat is mostly good with some bad, Side Cases are all pretty good, but it really falls flat with how much boring tailing you have to do and the detective stuff isn't as important as you would expect. They're there but it's more like set dressing. The humor is also pretty great, and Yagami works with the absurdity pretty well.
If you use the English dub you automatically get dubtitles while using the Japanese sub automatically gives you regular subtitiles.
This
Never cared about the combat and the only reason people do is because of heat actions
I've been playing JRPGs for years so I don't give a shit, this looks like a fun change of pace. If you want action combat just wait for Judgement 2.
Everyone mad that it's a mainline and not a spinoff, what the fuck do you even think a mainline is anymore? Kiryu is gone and that was the lynchpin holding the mainline together. This is as much of a spinoff as Kurohyō or Judgement at this point, and that's ALL there is going forward. 0~6 is closed and done and there's no real going back nor need for it anymore.
Just buy a copy of 7 and then cut out the "7" from the box insert and pretend it's a spin-off title. Since you're only issue with the combat is that it has 7 in the title, this should solve the issue for your retarded ass.
>thinking the yakuza team can do gameplay with strategic elements
>implying that turn based jrpg take strategic elements
Wow boomers are retarded
You have to have an attention span zoomer
BASED AND ZOOMERPILLED
It kind of struck me that this might actually be a precursor to an actual JRPG project that RGG studios might be working on. Dead souls was basically the prelude to Binary domain. This could be another one.
That said, to make such a radical shift in gameplay on a mainline title wasn't a good idea.
>I've been playing JRPGs for years
So have I and I don't want this garbage in my Yakuza. Its like if DQ 12 suddenly become a beat 'em up nobody want that shit
>nigger
You're the only person to bring that keyword up in the thread. I guess the novelty of being a nigger in Japan brought them to make a MC out of it. Feels bad don't it?
There was clearly a need for more turn-based RPG's, user. They should do that to all their franchises tbqh.
Nice, guess I’ll wait a year and see if it doesn’t get a pc release, and if not I hope it runs okay on a base PS4. Glad that, from the sounds of it, it lived up to the Yakuza ip.
>yeeeeAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH I WANT BEEP BEEP TURN BASED COMBAT WITH SURFACE LEVEL STRATEGIC DEPTH AND COMBAT OPTIONS THAT WILL GET STALE AFTER 2 CHAPTERS THAT WONT REALLY CHALLENGE MY MENTAL ABILITIES WITH EBIC JAPANESE FUNI ANIMATIONS XD

>You know, after sitting down and thinking about it, this sounds fucking neat.
>Yeah, let's make this a one off game to get some creative juice flowing before we go back to our normal style
Seriously, devs want to take a break from doing the same thing all the time so they'll try something else for a one off, experiment, then return back to the status quo.
Literally my only issue is the title, keep that shit as Shin Ryu ga Gotoku if you're gonna change the gameplay so drastically.
Then don't buy it? Not our problem. Also DQ Heroes games were a ton of fun.
>We want the Persona audience
How many game series have ever done a genre shift like this in a mainline game and pulled it off?
If the turn based gameplay actually looked good I would give it a chance. But the shit looks so fucking slow and boring. Imagine all the long encounters you run into with this gameplay. What the fuck were they thinking
>dude this spin off game was fun
SPIN OFF
Dynasty Warriors started as a 1 on 1 fighting game
Just print out your own box cover that doesn't have the 7 in it then. It's not the everyone else's job to cater to your autism.
Kill yourself you worthless subhuman trash.
>turn based? what's that? just give us the usually buttons mashing please
Well that is a big fucking change.
Rocket Slime was a fucking amazing game man
That's gotta be some mini-game or something.
But even if it was true, then I don't really mind. Personally I always recognized Yakuza as a JRPG. Sure it had some action-like combat system, like Tales, but it was nothing to write home about, so nothing of value would be lost.
SOMEONE POST A WEBM OF THAT BREAD BITING TECHNOLOGY!!!!
yea because Yakuza combat is sssssssoooooooooooooooo deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppppppppppppppppppppp brrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh
>he likes to mash buttons more slowly
pleb
FF did it years ago.
Literally dozens between gens 4+5 and 5-7 in particular
You've actually never played a turn-based game if you think the genre is incompatible with strategy.
>blindly sucking devs cock
Yup thats a pathetic reddit cuck alright.
Does Mario going from platformer to kart racer count?
Or better call it Ryu ga Gotoku Gaiden(aka spinoff)
>can't make good combat after a decade
>give up and make it turn-based
my sides
Mario does everything, but masters only the genre he started with.
Go back to your autism support group and cry about it.
Nobody love FF15
i never really got into turn-based RPGs other than Fallout, but it isn't what the main series has been about
you could smash X square 3000 times in a fight, or you could use the moves you constantly unlock and play properly giving you depth that got lost with the removal of fighting styles
>what the fuck do you even think a mainline is anymore
A game with the RGG# in the title? Black Panther games don't have that (and even then their gameplay is still mostly like the mainlines just with a stamina system), Judge Eyes doesn't have that, neither Kenzan nor Ishin have that, Like a North Star doesn't have that, and Of the End doesn't do that either. A mainline would also revolve around major Tojo Clan affairs which 7 does (Omi taking over Kamurocho which Ichiban's boss had a hand in). Before you make the argument that Judgment meddled in Tojo Clan affairs, it dealt with an incredibly low rung family that barely means anything to the main families. A mainline deals with major affairs like getting a new leader with Daigo, the Okinawa deal, the Ueno Seiwa clan rippling through the family, etc.
It's not just the combat, it's changing genres, There's a big difference. I'm still excited to see where they take this, I just don't understand their reasoning for doing it in the next main game. They always experiment with things but never to such an extent.
Nobody said Yakuza combat is deep you fucking retard but at least it was entertaining and engaging.
I don't really mind turn base shit. But why the hell do they have to make it so damn slow.
>positioning matter guys
Your characters literally rubbeebands it self about 2 meters and range attack just hit anyways without any repercussions to an ally. Why would it even matter. And that RNG movements. Fucking hell. How did they find this to be a good. Make it faster not slower you fucks. And boss fights will really shit the bed due to this change.
You retards don't actually think this is fun? This whole webm is enough time to finish a single random battle in other yakuza here its gonna take forever.
They just killed RGG didn't they?
Glad I wasn't the only one who thought that was the most detailed bread eating I've ever seen in a video game.
11-15 all sold really well and have plenty of fans.
>It's not just the combat, it's changing genres, There's a big differenc
Yakuza has always been an RPG you dipshit. Now it just has different RPG combat.
Can't think of any right now.
Imagine if that Halo RTS game they made was supposed to be the new main series game. Dudebros would rain so much shit on Microsoft
yeah I mean turn based isn't any worse than the shit they usually give us
Oh jeez, you guys weren’t kidding... that’s really bad.

>Yyyyyuuup. Can't wait to see the series die for daring to experiment and try to put the existing gameplay systems in a framework that makes more sense for how they stagger out and break up combat every 15 seconds.

*munches tidepods*
Persona 6 is looking good
11 and 14 are mmo
nobody love 13
Someone just photoshopped it into the official screenshot, it's not actually part of the game.
The main problem with a lot of JRPGs is that the general lack of complexity leads to flowcharting your way to victory particularly easy. This is even true in the more notoriously 'difficult' series like SMT. If you can somehow find a solution to this issue, like having some sort of map system where character positioning is important or in the case of SMT Demon Fusion/Party Composition, then the game can be plenty engaging.
One of their biggest franchise there is Monster fucking Hunters.

You honestly believe all Japanese games are made by the same devs?
>A mainline deals with major affairs like getting a new leader with Daigo, the Okinawa deal, the Ueno Seiwa clan rippling through the family, etc.
So mean you the whole plot of Y7? Because the entire plot is Ichi's idol and Tojo family boss having betrayed the whole clan and let Omi take over.
>A game with the RGG# in the title?
So it's just the title on the box, got it.
Dropped. I dont come to Yakuza for turnbased gameplay.
>Only ones supporting it are the western secondaries

Well, here you go, enjoy.
SCREEEEEEEECH
KIIIIIIIIIRYUUUUU
I can’t believe yakuza dick eaters are defending this awful gameplay. It doesn’t even look stylish, just basic rpg garbage.
I flowcharted the hell out of almost every Yakuza game, though. Especially anything but boss fights.
I dunno, I just don't see how people are complaining so much when combat was the least essential part of Yakuza's identity as a series. If the story, setting, sidequests, and so on are still intact I couldn't give less of a shit if they change the combat.
Vote fellow boomers or zoomers, what will your protagonist Kiryu Kazuma scream?
And what make you think these retards can make turn based battle complex? This is the yakuza devs team we're talking about here this shit is gonna be boring and slow.
>WOOOOOW WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO PRESS A BUTTON ON MY TURN AND SELECT MOVES CAREFULLY FROM MY OPTIONS INSTEAD OF JUST MASHING UNTIL I CAN DO A SPECIAL ATTACK WHILE FAILING TO GET PUNISHED FOR IT BECAUSE THE GAMES HAVE DOGSHIT BALANCE AND ARE EASY AS SIN?

Suuuuuuure. People play turn based JRPGS for the combat. Keep telling yourself that. And Y7 doesn't even look like a good turn based combat. Not to mention it'll take away the personal feeling of the boss fights because they shove in this shitty party based combat.
man Capcom fucking won huh?
stoked for the trailer tomorrow
I'd play Super Yakuza Ball. Might as well seeing as how they're so intent on avoiding developing anything other than Sonic or Yakuza at the moment.
The combat definitely isn't the best out there, but it's part of the reason why I enjoy the series and I want to see it improve and get better.
It wasn't named Super Mario Bros 4.
Who are you quoting?
>he never played an SMT game
Shameful
Its like these morons have never played a turn based rpg before and think this is revolutionary
>turn based morons being this much of a revisionists to fit in their narrative
Fuck off faggot.
>Moose will finally kill himself
Best timeline
I love how you think this shit is not gonna be just as easy and braindead as previous yakuza games.
Is the Sakura Wars team working on this?
just fuck my shit up senpai
>stand: Za Biuteefuu Eyezu
What's so special about it? Its like spam buff and debuff and use your best attack
Braindead turnbased games are inherently less braindead than braindead action games.
By definition this HAS to be an improvement.
From the webm the gameplay doesn't look that great but that's a radical change if I ever saw one. I wanted something fresh for the series so I'll wait and see how it really plays.
I really wonder why they bothered with all the physics based stuff and allowing wider fight arenas with vaulting across floor levels and stuff like that if they planned to make a fighting system that didn't use any of that afterwards. After K2 and Y6 I thought they'd expand on that but looks like this wasn't in their plan.
Looks boring as hell.
HOLY SHIT THIS LOOK SO COMPLEX AND DEEP OMG THIS IS INSANE BROS BASED!!!!!
>magic
>turn based combat
>women
>negroes
What the fuck?
This is my problem with it too. If they're going to do an RPG they should put in the effort to make it better than their typical shovelware games.
It's a minigame, right?
Right?
I agree with you, people always trashed the combat, but I personally always defended it. It was never phenomenal and I wouldn't play the games just for the combat, but considering the combat was just part of the game and not the main draw, I enjoyed it for what it was, and in no game outside of 1, 2 and 6 did I get sick of the combat by the end of it. It feels like a lot of people think a game needs to have combat on par with DMC to be worthwhile, but I don't think that's the case and would have never expected that from Yakuza in the first place.
What the fuck are you talking about, moron. I'm saying that they love action games just as much as turn based.
I will take braindead over boring any day of the week
I would buy a Sonic RPG that actually had money and talent pumped into it.
>haha this shit taste better than this shit
GET FUCKED YOU ACTION LOVING FAGGOTS
AFTER DOZENS OF GREAT TURN BASED SERIES WERE SACRIFICED UPON THE ALTAR OF TERRIBLE REAL TIME COMBAT NOW IT IS OUR TURN TO STEAL SOMETHING YOU LOVED
SMT is the same shit. youtu.be
Does this look hard or interesting to you at all?
Capcom have had the biggest turnaround of the decade. And they releases new games while respecting the fans.
ITS LITERALLY LOOK LIKE A MOBILE PHONE GAME TIER GAMEPLAY I SWEAR THE ONLY PEOPLE DEFENDING THIS HAVE TO BE GACHA TARDS

>Simple, braindead combat where you press one or two buttons or one button to counter to make it even easier
>Can load up on cheap as shit healing items and pause the game to heal mid battle whenever you want

About time they actually tried something different. Yakuza is a retarded series.
I wasn't trying to make a judgement on the move to turn-based combat here, just trying to make the point that there's nothing inherently boring about turn based RPG combat and discuss the main issue JRPGs have with making the combat interesting. If they can do something to keep it engaging then I'm down to give it a try.
Oh shit, that new Sakura Wars game is real time? Might have to look into it in that case. Thanks user!
the gameplay from the previous games were mobile phone tier as well
>Yakuza has always been an RPG you dipshit.
In what way? Equippable armor and accessories? Equippable weapons that break? You have EXP to unlock new things but it doesn't function like even an action RPG does. Your damage only goes up if you buy upgrades for your damage (Which are a more modern thing) instead of when you level, your defense only goes up based on equips, your health only goes up if you buy the health upgrades, only 5 bothered with weapon proficiency, if you never upgrade yourself you can still fight Amon just at a snail's pace simply by dodging properly while in an RPG super bosses require specific setups to do anything, RPGs have various status effects while the most you can do in Yakuza games is stun someone temporarily, etc. They have RPG elements but they're brawlers first and foremost.
Well, there's also the whole realtime fighting instead of turn-based fighting added onto that. That determined a mainline title. Judgment has the combat but doesn't have the Tojo Clan business, Of the End doesn't have the combat or the story structure (With the exception of 5 seconds as you first control Kiryu), Kenzan and Ishin have the combat but focus on a completely different era and are clearly spinoffs to begin with since they use weapons primarily, Black Panther has a different combat focus even if it shares some things but focuses on the Dragon Heat/Asura rather than the Tojo Clan, Like a North Star is an entirely different IP.
The Tojo Clan are important but so is the active brawler combat. Turning it into an RPG already goes against the combat they've been using for years. They can call it a mainline but it's acting like a 50/50 split between mainline and spinoff. By your logic is Halo Wars a mainline Halo game? Is Valkyria Revolution a Valkyria Chronicles mainline game and 4 should be called 5?

0/10 bait
They could've easily made item chugging limited per battle, and made balance to the combat instead of just dumping it entirely you retard.
Could be a prequel.
Shadow Hearts ring system is one of the best JPRG combat out there.
Remind me how anything I said is incorrect about the rest of the games?
It's older Ichiban though, and we know older Ichiban is after 6/Judgment since he only gets out of jail after them.

I don't care as long as it's good but looking from the video it doesn't even seem like good turn based combat. That's just a small video though so I won't make my mind from that but I just hope the people working on the fight mechanics have previous experience making turn based RPGs. JRPG in modern world could be could but it could also be very bad and forgettable.
Fuck off shills

Why is Yea Forums always such a weird contrarian board?
Guys this is funny and all but can we end the joke soon?
When's the next retailer showing the ACTUAL game
Guilty Gear 2, kinda? It sold pretty well IIRC
It was also a shit game and they never made anything like it again.
user... I...
Since those games are spin-offs, it's fine.
This is more comparable to if Super Mario Bros 3 was a turn based RPG.
kawaii
There's a reason the japanese hate and mock weebs. Weebs lack any sort of critical judgment and accept everything Japan makes as superior.
Actual japanese people know better.
Gotta stay in the opposition at all costs.
THIS """APRIL FOOLS JOKE"""" WAS ACTUALLY REAL WHAT THE FUCK?
Good bait
>>Japan is shitting on it
It isn't though
God I hope this flop hard and Yea Forums kill himself.
Ha, fuck you Yakfags, you deserves this shit
ooh new city
>God I hope everyone disregards my shitty rehashed movie game's flaws because I called it bait
Hang on, rewatching the video did the guy mention Yokohama is the new setting? So it's actually a completely new town?
Shut the fuck up you attention whoring nigger
seems like it
yes you fucking retard, it's the new settings and three times bigger than kamurocho
take the cock out of your mouth and pay attention for fuck sake
user, the entire twitter thread is full of japanese people absolutely shitting on the game and it got shat on so much that Nagoshi himself had to go and make a statement about going back to the traditional game style if this one fails.
Yeah they did, but the combat is still shit so it doesn't matter.
>dragon engine has been running like complete dogshit on sony hardware for the last 3 yakuza games
>slow down the gameplay to the point where it literally doesn't matter that it's at sub-20fps
>problem solved
genius move from nagoshi and sega
>ryu ga gotoku: ryu ga gotoku
why did they do this
source
>namefags are retarded
Water is wet...
Damn, the localization team is clearly not happy.
They're probably worried this will tank the series before they can get the higher ups to greenlight an Ishin localization.
>not knowing the difference between namefags and tripfags
newfag
Gonna be really weird if 8 comes out and you have "Yakuza: Like a Dragon: The Journey to the Center of Kamurocho"
I'll make sure to spoil all of you faggots when this garbage come out in Japan. All of you praising turn-based will eat my shit HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
this is about as retarded as what they did with judge eyes
he cute
>Nagoshi changes Sakura Taisen combat to realtime
>Nagoshi also change Yakuza combat to turn based instead
You should have seen it coming
>not 7 in the west
Spin off confirmed.
I like the music.
Judgment 2 when?
Give us a Valkyria Chronicles RTS Sega
Or at least a real 3rd person action shooter
What?
Why ask for source when you yourself say "It isn't though" implying you know something.
Fuck off faggot, it's been linked several times in the thread.
>it's been linked several times in the thread
source?
>one game
People have been complaining for years
Sales drop lower and lower with each game
The combat legitimately is garbage too, they needed a change of some sort
tl note: ryu ga gotoku means like a dragon
>Why ask for source when you yourself say "It isn't though"
What? You said Japan's shitting on it, which may or may not be true but you have to provide a source if you want people to acknowledge it, what kind of brainlet are you that this needs to be explained
Nip tweets from the last few minutes
>Cool, the new RGG7 is now playable for the kindergarteners
>I wish they just reused the Judgement system
>The new RGG is command-based?! It's an action game! What a travesty!
>Command-based RPG....?
>Persona Yakuza lol
>But the old system was hype as hell.... Guess 0 will forever stay the best RGG.
>This is gonna bomb
>Sad News: Kiryu gone, battle system has been changed to a command based RPG LOLOL
>Yeah, not buying RGG7
>Will RGG7 be party-based too? The hell are you doing...?
>Why is it a numbered title?
>Yeah, I'm dropping RGG.
>Sakura Taisen and RGG have swapped their combat systems lol
>Command-based RPG, what the fuck? Fuck this retarded management.
>It's a generic RPG lol
And so on. Pretty much nobody likes it.
>asks for source
>literally been linked and talked about in the thread several times
Do you just not read threads or what?
nice source
keep saying it
Nigga just ctrl F twitter.com in this thread
doesn't bring up shit
...
twitter.com
Read the tweets, retard.
You're an absolute retard
man all these people bitching about it means they're gonna try and put the normal fighting system in too, but they don't have enough time so now it's just gonna be two half hearted systems instead of one good one
can't read moon
stop making shit up
>We're still in time, fix the battle system quickly.
>It is not very good change to change the combat system. It's nice to get a new one, but it doesn't seem to make sense if the old fans leave.
>I wonder if there is a form of battle system so far. Honestly, if it's just command input, the goodness of the series so far disappears.
>Are you kidding me? Are you going to throw away the battle system you've been building up to now and make it into a sloppy game like a shashage?
Then use twitters integrated translation option you moron.
Wow. I know Yakuza threads have gotten worse in the last few years but this thread is exceptionally bad. Here is a recipe for anyone else that is disappointed by this announcement and by the state of the western Yakuza fanbase.
BASED fucking retard. Use your browser to auto translate.
>Nip tweets from the last few minutes
>wtf bro where's your source
>alright here's the nip tweets

Genuinely had a good laff, thanks.
>when google tries to translate an emoji
Sega and turn based fans are all retarded nigger monkeys
