This is incredible. Day one! Also the UI reminds me of upcoming JRPG Trails of Cold Steel III so I'm very excited for Yakuza 7.
Such an big change for this series is really making it hard to process that this is what the game is about now.
I just hope the more I see of it in the future, it'll warm me up to it but right now... I'm just feeling really down.
Still happy for those who want turn base.

Why name it Yakuza 7 then? That'll turn off people thinking they have to play the previous 6 games.
Personally that was my problem too. Yakuza 0 is what finally got me into the series since it was an entry point. You probably don't need to play the previous games for Yakuza 7 too but the name doesn't really make that obvious.
I'm totally down with the new combat system. New protag, new city, new story, let's do it.
The brawling system is great but we don't need every single game to have the same system. I know Yakuza fans are used to recycled material but come on, be open to change.

My god, Nagoshi has got to have the biggest balls to do something like this, giant risk but giant reward if it's good
sounds awesome, I am in. Glad its in a new location, I am a bit fatigued of Kamarucho. In fact after playing 0, 1, 6, and Judgement I'm taking a break from starting 2 because I am kinda tired of the same location.
If they release this mid 2020 that gives plenty of time to finish up 2, 3, 4, 5 and be ready for 7. Yosh!!

yeah a bit worrieda bout this, but hopefully given that they're, well, game designers, they account for this kinda thing.

No offense intended at all, but you're the one who needs to understand that people are naturally going to be concerned about gigantic changes that completely alter the gameplay in one of the industry's last-remaining brawler series. I love turn-based, party-based JRPGs, but those gameplay videos fill me with unease. This is basically the death of a genre, and a very odd move for a series with an impeccable track record.
I'm still super excited for the game, but until I see reviews/have the game in my hands, it's hard not to worry that one of the best things in gaming is going to implode due to this move.
I really can't believe that the combat system is turn based now. I think it's kind of cool if true but there's no way
If it really is 100% turn based than I'm going to be really worried. Personally I find more turn based combat systems to be misses than hits. Hopefully it's more like Persona than any other JRPG because I loved the combat in P5 and never got sick of it even after 100 hours. It's going to really, really suck if I can't find enjoyment in the latest entry to one of my favourite video game series.
Hopefully man! I really want to love it, I really do. But now for the first time since forever as an fan of the series I'm just stumped...
So I guess I can't wait to see more at TGS :P
I'm a big fan of the franchise, but nah, combat was nothing special.
Fighting 1x1 was ok, but with multiple enemies the combat system struggled.
If felt nice, there was weight to the punches, but it was way floaty and unresponsive.
After 6 mainline games with the same combat structure, I welcome the new JRPG elements.
Most of the people play Yakuza not because of the combat, so I hope that it pays off for them
See I really like the idea of this. Your no longer one dude fighting alone, you have a team/gang of your own helping you fight.
I'm not even a fan of turn-based stuff but I'm willing to give this a shot. RGG Studio realize this is a big risk to take and if it doesn't work out, they'll probably go back to the old formula. I do think doing this with a mainline title is very ballsy but eh... this is the hole they wanna dig themselves into, I'd like to see what comes out of all this.
For a series that generally has such a personal, intimate nature, the idea of having a pack of weirdos follow you everywhere is something that I find very off-putting.
well i'm reading the official site for yakuza 7 right now
the description basically says they're combining fighting action and command rpg to make a system they call "live command rpg battle"
Final Fantasy did the opposite, switching from turn based to an action game. Why can't Yakuza do the inverse of that?
But are they weirdos? They could be fleshed out characters important to the story.

that is....sure something. maybe they wanted to make this more approachable to casual players? strange decision but i am open to it...
Alternatively, if it doesn't work out, maybe SEGA decides to can the series. I'm down for change, but this seems like so much change that it'll make it difficult to determine which parts people liked/disliked about the new style.
Whether I like this change or not (I don't think I do), I am fascinated by the balls on Sega. There's no other boardroom in the world where people would have agreed to do this with a series that FINALLY found international success. I am guessing Nagoshi slammed his fist down on the table for this one.
It's such an interesting thing to do.

Wonderful trailer. I'm so hyped for that RGG storytelling, but I know that I don't like this kind of RPG combat.
Shit.
Combat needs to be significantly faster than whats' been shown. Looks glacial in comparison to Persona 5.
I don't know what to think about that turn based combat,but at least it's set somewhere different.
I wonder if the side game content will be more SEGA console focused than arcade, to compliment the shift in styles.
not comparable as beat em ups are even less common than turned based rpgs
