I literally finish one of your yakuza 7 episode I think it's ichiban met Roy akoi in the underground I still haven't seen the other yakuza games but I'm stop there I suppose and wait till January 28 when xbox release the other yakuza games I love your videos!!!
making a successor to a beloved character is one of the hardest things to do. Raiden wasn't liked for switching Snake for example. Ichiban nailed it for being a great character without being a carbon copy of Kiryu.
@dillankempter57803 жыл бұрын
@@BladeBlur The whole point of Raiden’s character was that he wasn’t a carbon copy of Snake. The reason why people accept Ichiban is the he’s not stealing away the spotlight from anyone else, Kiryu has been a playable character 10 games including spin offs, 7 of those are mainline entries in the series. Meanwhile, Snake was only in 3 games at the point of mgs2 and he only had a voice in one of those games, so it makes complete sense that people would want more Snake after they only had one game with him. We already have plenty of Kiryu, so having a new face of the series doesn’t replace all that came before, you know?

I can see the reason Yakuza 7 wasn’t liked initially New main character and gameplay is RPG instead of action However the game got the great story that compensate the unusual way this one compared to predecessor “I’ve been fallen to the rock bottom, but now All I can see is way up”

i absolutely loved the message Yakuza 7 brings because it’s one i agree with and often preach. it’s never too late to make a change in your life, and you can start grinding (if you defeat enough slimes you’ll eventually level up like Nanba said), no matter your age. as long as you do it here and now, then you’re never late because life has no deadline, as i often say myself “Better Now than Never”. Ichiban is a very relatable protagonist because he essentially had to start from nothing, but because of his optimism, personality, self positivity/determination/courage, he was able to come through and live a life he loves, alongside his newfound family
