Ishin is the Ace Attorney Investigations 2 of the Yakuza world.
Everyone should experience this gem.

Just finished 6 on Sunday and bought Judgement today. I'll probably wait for the PS5 version of Yakuza 7 since so much is coming in November. After playing through the series the past couple years Yakuza has turned into one of my favorite franchises. Looking forward to what's next.
nice , thank you for supporting digitally
i am skipping the 7th game ( personal preference not buying it)
, but i will still buying the remake/remasters of Kiryu saga , Kenzan , Ishin and Black Panther (PSP game)
I really should get and try this game on ps3 one day. For as lovably ridiculous some of the things in the main series can be this one in particular seems to be even more so. Just looks like a fun time.
Dead souls 2 please
Oh? How so? It probably won't be too much of an issue for me though.
Ishin would be amazing, and go a long way towards healing those kenzan! wounds
down for whatever here though

Counter argument: please be turn-based. Not even Final Fantasy is turn-based anymore so we need some love somewhere.
I can't keep up. Still playing Kiwami 2. Have to/want to play 3-6, Like a Dragon, Judgment und Fist of the Northstar. I need more than a year for those alone lol
I hope it's going to be an action RPG Yakuza title again vs Turn-Based. I love TB CRPGs, but it somehow feels wrong in the Yakuza series. Also, they really need to cut that lag in release between Japan and the West.
Pathfinder, PoE 2, Wasteland 3, Divinity Original Sign 2 are turn based and are all amazing. PoE2 and Pathfinder also have RTWP mode of course. Dragon Quest 11/11 S is TB. Persona 5/Royal is TB. TB combat can be very very good. However, it just doesn't feel like it belongs in Yakuza. I could be wrong and 7 may be super amazing... but somehow I doubt it.
Heh, I imagine it'll be the opposite if anything. Here's to seeing if we've returned to the status quo of Xbox missing out.
I went this whole thread without thinking this. And then all at once....
Sounds kinda dope though.
I was kinda talking specifically about JRPG. Not sure why you doubt 7 being "very very good."
Yep. Also the amount of 3D brawlers releasing nowadays is almost non existent compared to 2D. Yakuza was one of the last big ones.
With Xbox having next-gen exclusivity for now with Yakuza 7, I don't think so. We'll know in 2 days though!
I have been playing Yakuza series since OG Yakuza 1 on PS2. I love it. Imported Kenzan, Ishin, Yakuza 5 even. Turn based combat feels incongruent in that series. Yakuza combat is all about action, visceral Heat Actions even. TB just slows down that flow.
I don't doubt Yakuza 7 is going to be a good game. I just don't quite see it fully belonging in the series.
It feels like a cross between Yakuza and RE classic games.
More on the brawler side Yakuza. You can get used to it pretty quick. The shooting mechanic has auto aim so you just shoot in the direction of the enemies without aiming. You can also aim if you want to be precise but the game turns into RE4 controls so you can't move.
It is awkward but somehow feels fun provided you play on easy. Somehow the feeling of mowing down zombies feels satisfying.
I'd really like another Judge Eyes, or another game like Judge Eyes (i.e. a different theme, a different main character, but the same overall Yakuza structure, sub stories and combat). I just adored Judge Eyes, man. What a game. It's my favourite thing RGG Studio has ever made.
I still haven't played Y7. I've been importing the Japanese games at launch for the last few years, but 7's RPG combat put me off and that game coincided with Japanese import pricing just going THROUGH THE ROOF for me in Australia so I wasn't really up for taking the gamble.

The writing for Judgment was so so much better than the rest of the series (aside from zero). Whoever wrote it needs to be the writer for the series from now on.
Berserk Ga Gotoku, it's time.
I can't keep up with this studio, I just can't, it's insane. My Yakuza backlog is its own entity, a backlog inside a backlog if you will (inception_horn.flac).
I've got Kiwami 2 and Judge Eyes sitting on my account and I still have to get Lost Paradise and the remastered collection.
I kinda feel the itch to get Lost Paradise during the current psn sale because I value new settings in this series almost above all else. Maybe I'll do just that.

Gimme another Judgment. I replayed the game recently on the highest difficulty and I want more of it. Hopefully not another murdery mystery, there's plenty of interesting stuff you can do with the detective theme.
A localization/remaster for Ishin would also be nice

Is Judgment actually referred to as a Yakuza title, as much as I'd like it to be Judgment 2 I'm not sure that's it
The only issue with LP is that the gameplay is so good that Yakuza 3 will feel really dated. You can adjust though.
If you decide to play LP then you are already set for it. Even of you barely know anything about FOTNS, it is basically the story of the manga remixed with some brand new charactersaand some returning fan favorites thrown in as boss fights. It is a blast but kinda grindy when it comes to the side content and the buggy and those are bad design decisions that would have made the game very close to the best games in the series (Yakuza 0, Judgment).
It has one of the best combat systems in the whole series.

7 was the kick up the ass the series needed after 6, the gameplay and story being some of the tightest in a while.
Richter1887 summed it up quite well :)
Again, it controls OK. It just doesn't have the best control scheme possibly available compared to more modern games.
