Cheers for 45k subs, everyone! And also sorry for sounding really echoey in a small part of this video I may or may not have accidentally had the mic too far away from my face lol. But don't let that distract you from the fact that GameSpot called it Yakuza Kiami and then they forgot that Lost Judgment, Ishin, and Gaiden exist

In an interview from Famitsu that I read today, Horii (or someone else I can't remember correctly) said that the game was going to have over 200 outfit items and that the TGS trial was moreso fun-focused and easy, and (specifically in reference to the Doppelgangers) in the final version it won't be as OP. Btw, Soma's haircut is also in the new outfit customization. Another interesting new thing is Bounties, which was supposedly available in the TGS demo in Madlantis but I did not see any footage of it. Basically it's just strong enemies that you defeat to "help Majima grow", whatever that means (I think there were some new icons on the map, so those are probably the strong enemies). He also said this game's coliseum is still a secret and what it entails was going to be revealed later. Final important thing is that Yokoyama sorta hyped up 8th December since its the series' 19th anniversary and said (google translated) "In addition to new information about the game, we have begun preparations that will force the world, including in real life, to pay attention to us, so please keep an eye on the movements of the RGG studio." (totally not my attempt at being more autistic than you, great video tho)

Fun Fact the first time you play as Majima (or atleast his Ancestor Gorohachi/Shishido Baiken) is in Kenzan. Which is also funny because another fact is Shishido Baiken ended up losing his memories aswell. So if were to have a nickel for everytime Majima or his Ancestor had lost their memories i would have 2 nickels total, which isn't a lot but surprising it happened twice.

Acoustic rant: “Like a Dragon Gaiden: Pirates in Hawaii” would have worked just fine! Heck, if we were insistent on keeping the word Yakuza in the title, “Like a Dragon Gaiden: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii” was on the table! BUT NOOOOOOO, we need to CHANGE THE TITLE! I thought we’d gotten past the need for this, considering how the name of the entire series got changed! But nope! Can’t have the word Gaiden in the title, that’s a step too far!

[@ElChuggo]

I get that many people likely won't understand what gaiden means, but it helps recognize this "subseries" And I say subseries because it has the boutique, brawler fighting, a theme of having the mc do or be something not really doable in mainline LAD (although agent was more or less baked in the lore already thanks to 6, 7 and IW) and having a purgatory style thing I know those are just two games, but I think these things will remain staples of Gaiden titles because they know the fans (me included) like them

[@Square1production]

I think they decided to leave out the Gaiden in the title because they determined that it hurt their sales in the western markets, because it made the product seem like a side game you could skip.

On the point of combat being like Spider-Man or DMC, even Majima can yank people down with his grappling hook in almost the exact same fashion as Spider-Man when you web yank people down. They DEFINITELY took their inspiration from Spider-Man (which took inspiration from the Arkham games) way more than it did DMC. Either way though, I’m insanely hyped for this game. Hopefully they bring a demo out to Australia and give you an opportunity to get your hands on it to answer some of the burning questions you still have from all the demo footage we have seen.

Pirate Yakuza wasn't the first game to have a jump button. That belongs to Fist of the North Star. Though it was only limited to rage mode.

The best it offered was that you can send enemies flying REALLY far, and if they hit the wall they will bounce right back to you. I want a sequel man don't judge me.

Okay so I've been trying to analyze all the footage I could, but it seems like I've missed some big stuff so I'm wondering if you found any answers to these thoughts or questions I've been having. 1. Does the eye poke still exist for thug style? I haven't seen any footage of it being used but other mechanics like how Majima can still dash behind enemies, his hook lets him go behind enemies and I've seen the heat action Icon appear in mad dog style as soon as the player gets behind an enemy however, I still haven't seen that heat action being used (I'm assuming it's the neck snap one). 2. Does chomp still exist? I haven't seen it and I also don't recognize most of the attacks in knife mode they all look unique to this game but I may be wrong. 3. Are the swords reusing animations from other games? I feel like I recognize some of the dual stick and dual sword weapon moves in there but there are also some moves that seem entirely unique. 4. Is it really thug style when the swords are thrown? I don't know why but I've had trouble deciding on whether or not it is. Maybe it looks slower or something or maybe it has less moves idk. Anyway happy to see someone analyze the footage more.
