RIP Yakuza

JUST

Hilarious, enjoy your dead franchise

Is this the actual combat system or the major side activity?

Turn-based battle is boring ass trash

well you are not playing a superhuman this time, i like the idea of a group filling kiryus shoes but this combat looks not very exciting

Good for you, estrogenboy.

Am I the only one who hates the combat in these games? It's so stupidly clunky, it's not even responsive. Senran Kagura has more rewarding action for fuck's sake.

I'd actually be interested in this game now, but I don't really give a shit about keeping up with sex games worth of story

Holy fuck that is awful. TB combat without any of the charm and stylish Japanese presentation.. yikes. This looks like a Chinese asset flip game on Steam.

this has got to be some wierd some side activity. why turn the 1-2 minute thug beatdowns into a 15 minute turn based thing. its going to take you 12 hours just to cross the map.

I thought so too, like it's a minigame similar to Majima's Construction or something, but they've already backpedaled and said it's an experiment and they'll go back to the old style of gameplay if this game fails. This can only mean that the entire game is like this.

Can't wait for this. The brawling combat in previous games was gatbage

Oof, Japs are ruthless. I agree with them, though.

One is better than nothing. But I'll pay for this one full price while I pirated the rest. If more people do that we'll change Yakuza for the better forever.

Well, that's Yakuza dead. The one series that was still good and SEGA managed to fuck it up. First that dumb clan creator microtransaction shit, then pre-order bonuses, and now this.

RIP Yakuza. All for the fucking chink market who will lap this shit up.

More than zero is still not impressive.

its not the first time they changed it up but last time was dead souls, we know how that went

>Persona 6 is now an RTS
>wooooow, imagine being upset at this, you have the entire Persona series and SMT to go back to!

If Persona or SMT became an RTS, that should would sell still. The only way it wouldn't is if Persona dropped the social aspects.

EA should make FIFA turn based too, imagine releasing 20 games in a row with the same gameplay.

>haha nice april fools joke nagoshi-san!
>yes, yes, a joke indeed......

Turn based Xcom like GTA, why not?

I always thought of yakuza as a successor of games like Streets of Rage and Double Dragon. Why they did that i don't understand. Rpg battle system was always inferior to action games

You're saying that as if it's a bad idea.

That Hitomi?

Blitzball in FFX is essentially underwater turn based FIFA.

I kinda like genre shifts like this

>Why they did that i don't understand
Because they "wanted to do something new". They didn't expand the open world elements, they didn't incorporate changes to the real-time combat like, say, more physics-based interactions or deeper weapon combat, no - the "new" for them is taking out the system that they've been polishing for the last 3 games and replacing it with fucking turn-based prompts.

Based. Never played a Yakuza game but I'm going to get this one.

>Hitomi

Check twitter. Fucking hell they are mad as fuck.

I'll wait for the Yakuza 7: Action Edition they'll be forced to release when this shit sells like 3 copies.

>Senran Kagura has more rewarding action for fuck's sake
How to tell someone has an objectively wrong opinion.

>turn based amon fight
will it work?

The one big reason that I don't like that's it's going to be turn-based is because:

THEY WILL LOSE THE FUCKING INTROS ON MAJOR FIGHTS. HOLY SHIT I NEED THOSE IN.

Who the fuck would be upset at a Persona RTS? Sounds sick

True. I don't think I've ever seen normalfag Nips this mad or disappointed over a game before.

I wonder if they'll ditch Ichiban when Japs sink this game. He seems like a potentially fun character, but he may be considered an essential part of the failed game and changed for someone else.

no because you will find a way to cheese it just like every fucking boss in a turn based rpg in existence.

Likewise, no one cares about Yakuza for the combat, it's all the substory and hostess stuff people like + for Japan what celebs are in it

Like sick shit tbqh.

The game won't flop but they'll definitely drop him and bring back Kiryu because they're always scared of having a completely new MC. If they don't then I'll infinitely respect them for sticking to their guns.

if you're talking about cutscenes I don't see why switching to RPG will make them remove those

How many years is this after Yakuza 6?

I was looking forward to Ichiban, but I'm also afraid that he will be a one-and-done character now. This game is going to fail, there's no doubt about it, and Sega might get the wrong idea and ditch Ichiban entirely and go back to making more Kazuma Kiryu Yakuzas.

user they're both shit what the fuck

Fuck off shitposter.

nobody cares, retard

It's Anri Okita, you pleb.

Imagine doing this intro before the fight and then after that the gameplay has you guys standing like morons waiting for your turn. Hype just dies down.

youtu.be/JpoOGq4jtVQ?t=171

I hope not. Ichiban looks like a fun MC and much better than Kiryu has been for ages, but the turn-based garbage is going to tank the game hard.

If they actually market this as an RPG + emphasize this as a new start for the story, they'll probably lose some buyers but also gain some new ones too honestly

Same as normal then since the AI is so bad you have to hold back to not kill bosses too quickly on any difficulty. In Zero for the longest time I didn't know Nishiki had a QTE with the health item in his boss fight with Majima because if you do too much damage too quickly against him it gets skipped

The hype dies down after every intro because you start off the boss fight with a heat move that takes out two whole bars. Unless it's a dynamic intro, the hype dies down no matter what. The only exception in 0 is Kuza and 2 of his fights are boring as shit.

I don't give a fuck, where's NiGHTS 3

It won't. Only reason turn based JRPGs still exist in any capacity is because of waifubaiting. People don't give a shit about the genre or gameplay, they just want the waifus. And Yakuza isn't a game series for waifus.

Can't wait for Yea Forums's tears when this shit flops like a fish on land

Looks like it was made for mobile.

Were you not here for every single Yakuza release for the past couple years?

If there will be a Colosseum.

That looks completely turn based?

I want to give it a chance because I like the franchise, but god I do not want JRPG fights in these games. While fun they're jank enough as is and navigating a menu just isn't what I go to these games for.

I've played all of em and I might honestly just skip this one.

Oh, yeah, I remember how people went apeshit when Persona 3 became a date-sim.

this looks fun as hell

Looks better than the shitacular combat in the previous series.

Have no clue why Yea Forums loves this shit when the gameplay sucks and the "movie" story is shit.

But it's also maybe just made as a trailer and nothing was in engine. I'm wondering if the actual gameplay will be this dynamic.

It's not like Amon fights weren't cheesable before. It was essential in some cases.

Yet you're on this website.

It looks fucking silly.
I love it.

P3 got more story and character fluff, but the combat didn't see much change. Yakuza 7 is literally the opposite.

Oh yeah, cause Japan is ecstatic with this game, lmao. Not for Japan, not for the West - I wonder what mysterious untapped market Sega is targeting now.

Pokefags, presumably. Of course, they don't play Pokemon for the turn-based combat either.

Yakuza was never meant for westerners. The fact it got semi-popular in the west was just a fluke. Nips love turn based combat, and looking at it this might actually be better than the shit combat the series always had.

Wait, so what was the joke in the April Fools video if the combat in the game is actually gonna be an RPG?

That's the way to make these turn based boomers seethe. It's funny seeing their blood veins popping out.

You're right. The gameplay will be something trashy, like a Compile Hearts game.

The character designs look pretty bland yet the guy they hired for it is all anyone ever talks about regarding it

The series has been using the same formula for 15 years now, how is changing it up in a single game a bad thing?

It's judgement.

>japs like turn based combat
Explain to me how and why monster hunter is one of their biggest franchise over there.

Tite Kubo (the character designer) is pretty popular. Have you ever read Bleach? It's one of the big shonen jump a decade ago until he went nowhere with the story and readers (and him) just lost interest with it.

Why lie?

Dragon Quest is also one of their biggest franchises. People are capable of liking more than one thing.

Would pre-order day one if its a Sacrifice clone

The series is at it's peak in terms of popularity right now, changing up its core gameplay is a retarded move no matter how you see it.

It's not a weeb website retard, Yea Forums was only added in 2007, most boards aren't related to weebshit

I feel like Judgement should've been turn-based if they wanted to experiment, not Yakuza.

the first turn-based game that interests me, looking forward to it

>japs complain Yakuza is the same everytime

Looks fun.

I take back literally every bad thing i ever said about yakuza 6

>We legitimately complain that the AI just stand there doing nothing while you fight
>Instead of fixing it they now pretend it's a turn based RPG
It's a brilliant move.

somone didn't play on new game plus difficutly

This is very obviously Sega management fucking everything over. Yakuza got too successful and now the out of touch retards who killed the Dreamcast in the west now want to manage Yakuza for themselves.

Not really.

And when that gets too successful, Sega Management will want to kill that, too.

>it gets good after 60 hours
You're right, I dropped that turd long before that

at least it had a good run right? 7 Solid games in a franchise aint bad. Hell 8 if you count judgement.

What A.I is not doing anything? Hmmm, how do we fix this. I know, why don't the players not do anything as well. That's an easy way to balance it!

>Not interested in jizzbrain incel weeb shit.
>Plays Yakuza and posts in a Yakuza thread
I'm really, really fucking confused where you smoothbrain retards come from.

It had a longer successful run than Sonic, NiGHTS, Shenmue or Virtua Fighter.

So I guess there's that.

If you weren't an aging Japanese Boomer who happens to be in charge of Sega; you would realize that 'change it up' means 'make it a different game in the same genre', not 'make it a JRPG'.

This fucking sucks. It looks awkward as shit.

>Turn based
What the hell?

>playstation

Why the fuck does no one try the the real time menuing shit, only Kingdom Hearts has done this to my knowledge and FF7R will have like a variation of that
Way better than traditional shitty turn base combat that is slow and boring as fuck
Fuck Sega

Could be fun. Judgement is the new action series

Like a Dragon? More like Like a Dragon Quest, amirite

>Why the fuck does no one try the the real time menuing shit
Scrolling through menus when you're trying to fight can get really annoying unless you're an ace at menu design.

Not just here, look at twitter.

The problem is that westerners are such braindead cocksuckers that they don't have the courage to speak up about something that seems reprehensible to them at first glance. They ALWAYS want to have the "W-well, I'll give this corporate product a chance" attitude toward everything, and view people who don't have that as being 'pessimists'.

They don't need to do it like KH. But the shortcut menu can easily be implemented in Yakuza’s combat system to balance the item spamming.

The reaction to this is exactly why modern Final Fantasy games suck. All of you normalfags with ADHD complain about muh action combat and we end up with shitty hold circle to win shitfests like FFXV.
Meanwhile Dragon Quest just proved you can release a big AAA game with turn based combat and have everyone love it.

WTF is this? This looks shit.

People LIKED action combat in Final Fantasy. FFXV doing something bad doesn't mean the idea is without merit.

Dragon Quest coming out as an action combat game would have garnered the same response. I'm sick of fuckers whose only input into this is "WHY DO PEOPLE HAVE TASTES THAT AREN'T LIKE MINE?!" without even considering who Yakuza appealed to previously.

More importantly, the action FFs are clearly selling better than most of their turn-based predecessors. VIIR would have had half of its peorders if it were the same boring "stand in line and wait" combat.

>we want the persona 5 audience

Then cry about it on your Final Faggotry threads you fuck. This is Yakuza. A series known for it's over the top brawler style game. Fuck off.

>Meanwhile Dragon Quest just proved you can release a big AAA game with turn based combat and have everyone love it.

There is a shortcut that makes it seamless, you just equip the item or ability and hit like R1 plus the button for the item or attack and it doesnt break the flow of combat at all even has style forms you can switch between rapidly for combos

>now we can just press auto and let the game play it self so that we can just watch it. Based SEGA!!

JRPG turn based combat was never good. People just got used to it being utter shit. They'll never scratch the creative possibility that western devs have open up with turn based combat. But no, they're stuck with another DQ clone. Even fucking SouthPark does turn based combat better than any JRPG in the last decade. Fuck them.

The only game Yea Forums likes in this franchise in Zero, and the only thing Yea Forums specifically likes about that is the hostess minigame with Majima. No one will openly admit it but it's obvious from how the threads are.

Do not fear the truth. Embrace it, and learn from it.

Megatenfag here. It looks pretty slow, its jarring. They really should learn from Atlus how to make turn-based combat look dynamic.

I like action games, I also like turn based rpgs
I don't know how to feel about the direction of turning a action series into a turn based game
maybe they wanted to try something new and got tired of the yakuza combat style, but I still think they could've instead just refine or polish the combat to be something new and still be considered an improvement while maintaining that Yakuza feel to the gameplay
I'm all for the new takes of things but maybe not 180's like this, you have to build into this, you can't just go from action to turn based in a series that has mostly been known for its action gameplay

>named like a spin-off in the West to temper expectations, but also rolling in the actual series name to pave the way for more unified naming going forward

I thought it was a joke

I’ve thought about getting into the Yakuza series since it seems like a comfy Japan simulator along the lines of Persona and Shenmue. Once that HD collection is released, is the entire series going to be available on PS4?

The mainline games and some spin-offs, yes. You're only going to be missing Dead Souls (zombie spin-off), Kenzan (spin-off set in old age Japan with swords and shit) and the 2 PSP games starring a different character in Kamurocho.

I'm kinda shocked they thought it would be a good idea.I'd love to hear the thought process if they ever decide to talk about why they ditched the combat.

I wouldn't even mind if it wasn't so fucking slow. Battles look like they'll take forever.
