Lost Judgment Changes You Won't Notice (Probably)

Here are some changes made in the Lost Judgment demo. I mostly talk about stuff that hasn't been explicitly stated in marketing yet or things that are pretty mundane so no one will point out lol. The more orange footage/the footage on the right/the footage with a mission in the top right = Lost Judgment.
Please note that demo is only in Kamurocho and you can't do much. You can't even swap to the snake style or play any minigames except for darts lmao. But this video mostly contains brand new things. However, some stuff that was changed in Like a Dragon I made a note to point out as I know a lot of people that will watch this have probably never played Like a Dragon. Same thing can be said for Judgment but that's probably because a lot of people won't own a console so ye :)
Honourable Mentions:
- The interior for the KJ Art building was still there in Like a Dragon, but it's gone now in Lost Judgment
- Crane Style has a new stance and dodging animation to make it more unique
- SP has been heavily inflated, so things are more expensive but it's way easier to get
- Kamurocho's layout is basically the same as Like a Dragon, meaning some Mahjong places are gone but the Pachinko is still there. Can't play Pachinko in the demo though
- Cat Cafe/Mantai building is open again unlike Like a Dragon. Probs gonna be more substories there
- Sonic Fighters is in the southern SEGA Arcade but both of them are the same as LAD besides that
- Theatre Avenue's layout is the same as it is in Like a Dragon
- The hotel under construction (in Judgment) was built in Like a Dragon but again people probably didn't know. None of the other construction sites were built though strangely
- The place where Shioya and his boiz chilled out was replaced in Like a Dragon as well
- Koi Bride is closed again
- New vendor in the Champion District. It's the little cafe that replaces the bar where Ichiban's friend worked in the Prologue. It only sells one item and that's a bottle of water that heals status effects, although you can pick that water up from the floor
- Speaking of status effects, there are a couple of new ones that actually last a bit instead of just things like paralysis and stun. These can be healed apparently but I swear you can't
- Yagami’s running animation is the same, but when he turns he sorta widens his arms to make it more realistic. However, more interestingly, if you waggle the stick while sprinting he looks utterly ridiculous and that is very important.
Songs:

[@dastanovich2476]

@@SnowiestAngeman Don't forget a lot of buildings from 6 are still "under construction" because of RGG's switch to DE (Tanimura's Mahjong place comes to mind)

[@idontknow2yatube]

I think that the shangri-la/little Asia stuff is due to shady deals/ownership issues. Like those building were Tojo/Chinese mafia hangouts and most of those are either dead, moved out or disbanded. So nobody is the owner of the land, nobody cares to own up to the land and no one wants to pay to fix it

[@sapphire3084]

Hmm, I think I have an idea as to why Don Quijote was removed from Yakuza 7 onwards. Around 2 months before the release of Judge Eyes, FamilyMart announced it will make Don Quijote its affiliate. I guess if Sega wanted to keep Don Quijote in the game, they would need to renegotiate, but with FamilyMart this time. And I suppose that didn't go as planned. And as of December 2020, former Don Quijote CEO has been arrested for insider trading charges, making the chances of Don Quijote coming back even less likely. EDIT: I feel this is the only series where I'm bothered by companies no longer showing up in-game. XD

[@SnowiestAngeman]

It does indeed seem pretty unlikely Don Quijote will come back. I knew that there was some sort of controversy about it not too long ago but I didn’t know about any of what you just said so thank you for sharing. It would’ve been pretty ironic though if he got arrested for his ties to Yakuza haha

[@sonoda944]

yeah, Media industry goes crazy when comes to controversies Prime example, Taki Pierre. He was in the game as Hamura in Judge Eyes(original release of Judgement), but he was arrested with possession and use of drugs, shortly after the release of the game. And sega was pretty much forced to remove him from the game. (And price has dropped probably due to that) Fun fact: that version never left Japan, Judgement you guys got is based on the re-release version.

I love your goddamn channel, you cover Yakuza and the things around it in such a passionate way! Would love to see you play the full game on launch for us PC ladies and gents who can't play Lost Judgment atm.

[@SnowiestAngeman]

Thank you I’m glad you like it :) I probably wouldn’t ever do a full play through or let’s play type of thing but I’ll be sure to make some videos when the game comes out

[@williamlim3]

@@SnowiestAngeman aww, glad to hear you're gonna make videos on it regardless! I just feel like with your understanding of the games mechanics + soundtrack, you'd be sure to deliver a pretty cinematic experience, more so than conventional youtubers or let'splayers yknow. Regardless, cheers man, I'm following you for the long haul :D

[@digitalbooklett9357]

I guess even considering moving to Ijincho just magically removes your ability to not get hit by incoming traffic Really cool video, I got recommended your channel recently and appreciate all the comparison diving you do o/ (also your taste in music is superb, always picking good tracks from the OST)

@@SnowiestAngeman now that I think about it. Have we seen shinada smoke on screen

[@SnowiestAngeman]

@@brokeoutlaw3195 Hmm true. I don't remember either and if he doesn't smoke then based Shinada for considering the longevity of his own health and wellbeing

[@brokeoutlaw3195]

@@SnowiestAngeman what's really funny is that shinada doesn't smoke yet he's one of the weakest fighter among the protagonists.

[@sapphire3084]

@@brokeoutlaw3195 Out of all the protags excluding Haruka, getting into fights is expected of their occupation/reputation: yakuza members, loan shark, private detective, cop. Shinada's job doesn't really expect him to throw down. And who the hell wants to pick a fight with a debt-ridden Adult Entertainment writer?

Do you think Sugiura and Tsukumo would have met Ichiban and crew given that both are in Yokohama? Also your content keeps improving

[@SnowiestAngeman]

I mean they probably looked out a window at some point and watched 4-7 people shoot, stab and beat up random men on the street. But nah sadly they've confirmed basically the only references ever to the main series are the locations and things like the Tojo clan :(

As a person who spends a lot of time jumping between these games for completion purposes, I appreciate these type of videos. I thought nobody else noticed the new shiny Poppo tiles or other small details lol

[@theneonkingtnk]

I Think Another Thing To Take Note Of In The Demo Was That You Don’t See Many Children Walking Around Kamurocho Or Yokohama Or Any Other Japanese City Landmarks For That Matter Except That They Only Appear In Substories And Side Cases And Stuff Like That, I Feel Like If They Started Adding Like Family Civilians Into The Game Like Parents And Children, It Would Add A More Tourist Vibe To The Game, You Also Have The High School Kids Too As Well Which I Can’t Wait To Teach A Lesson To And I Am Also Pretty Happy That They Are Letting Girls And Women In The Yakuza And Judgment Series Be Expressed More, I’m Sorry For The Lack Of Context Here Man But There Is So Much Potential For Titles Like These In The Future!!!!!!!!! XD

[@SnowiestAngeman]

Nah I know what you're getting at. It's like how something like Yakuza 3 has a lot of very obvious tourists because you get some blonde American looking type of people, but most of the games afterwards just have Japanese people. It definitely made the streets feel more real, to say the least

Best ending title card ever. Also KZbin just recommended you but a week later despite me being subscribed to you :(

[@SnowiestAngeman]

Classic KZbin lmao but thank you

[@LovelyMinmay]

They don't fix Shangri-La because if they were to do it it should be completely demolished and rebuilt. I'm not completely familiar with law in Japan but I think you cannot make changes to the original floor plans of any soapland, doing so you risk losing your license to have one. One example of a never repaired soapland is Queen Chateau in Ibaraki.

[@hue_lord_4208]

I watched this before playing Judgement and I wondered why would they just up an remove the cupboard? I saw no reason why it had to go, especially since they added nothing to replace it. After I played Judgement, I was able to think of a reason why it, uh... why it had to go.

[@UchihaDareNial]

that cupboard sure gives bad memories lol

[@SnowiestAngeman]

Thank you good sir

[@barspinsallday]

Nice vid just finished like a dragon and then wanted more so i got into the judgment series first one was pretty good but lost judgment a lot better in my opinion, love how much assets the re use lol crazy how intertwined the yakuza an judgment games actually are, i was blow away when zhao was the cheif in lost judgment especially since the commented on his cooking skills in the game.

[@kamijoutouma8474]

hope you not forget the detail of yagami's leather jacket, the wringkle deform is similiar with kazuma yakuza 6' suit, have deformation whenever he move, similiar with gta5, soccer game pes or fifa, uncharted, mgsv and there is more, that is little detail where make this studio is very neat.. damn i love this studio hope they make more games, i still dont understand why it limited to 45gbs, if they can put more content i dont mind if take 60 or 80 gb, they should make it more. beside of how good the engine, i love how they make the japan city in the game, like is pretty rare to find japanese games using japanese city settings. the better thing is you even can explore and do much stuff in the city. thumbs up for that,, and yokohama city is huge map on lost judgment, ton of things to explore, sad i dont have the game yet xD,

[@MadCatNobody]

man the clothing textures in this game are just 👌there's a boss fight that takes place in the rain the texture on yagami's jacket after it is just 😫

thanks algorithm 👀👍

[@DWAINEMonster]

I would've also gotten rid of the big cupboard...for reasons

[@chi6423]

man some of these changes r p interesting the hotel going from unfucked to fucked again kinda sucks and so does shortcuts still being removed, im kinda curious what theyre gonna do with the extra 2 d-pad slots tho, since theyre not being used for items or style-switching fr tho the buildings keep fucking changing in this series its so confusing

[@khadelsnerdo]

Ok why is Shangrai-La still in ruins tho? That's a good question. Everytime something happens to Millennium Tower they at least fix it, for a building big like this, they could at least turn it into a hotel or something

[@SnowiestAngeman]

Yeah lmao stuff blows up or is shredded by a helicopter's miniguns in the Millennium Tower all the time and is somehow fixed before anyone even notices

[@TrvisXXIII]

I don’t see why this video needed an intro lol people knew what they came here for

[@SnowiestAngeman]

Nah fair tbh

[@sygyzy0933]

I just wish there were some sort of rhyme or reason as to why they make the changes they make and the thought process behind it, because alot of these seem pointless, pointless additions, pointless subtractions. Its weird.

Called a wardrobe mate

But there are no wars in it? Nah but it would've been a wardrobe if Yagami put clothes in there but the only thing that was ever in there was a dead body at one point

It makes sense that cupboard is gone, considering the events of Judgement. Yagami probably just wants to move on.

Kotobuki drugs was present in the prologue of Like a Dragon because the prologue took place in 1999-2000
