- Thread starter Aurica
- Start date
if they just melt out of the alleyways when you enter into battle i'm fine with that lol. i mean, jeeze, just majima out of a trash can, whatever
And I'm still going to bawl like a baby even if I totally expect this to happen.
Batshit insane.
I don't know if the system will be any good considering the combat lately has been bleh

Man, what other series has had this absurd of a genre shift lol. Zelda BotW and Metroid Prime is all that comes to mind
At first I was shocked but after thinking about it for a minute I'm not bothered about it. Since they had an eternity to make Yakuza combat good and never did.
Initial shock aside, I'm still willing to give it a try.
Dragon Quest XI is my goty from last year so I don't hate turn-based, I just actually liked Yakuza's brawler combat so its weird to see it gone.

Yakuza is already in decline in Japan, so they're probably just trying to find something to reinvigorate the series.
Nagoshi's got balls, you can't deny that at least
The game will be playable in TGS so we'll have lots of impressions then

Nagoshi is willing to go back to action for future installments

Turn-based? What a swerve.. But I'll play it! Really interested to know more about the rest of the game
He showed interest in giving a continuation to Judgment. Im pretty sure they will make more brawlers. For the main Yakuza series this was a big bold move and i love it, i love turn based RPGs and wished there was much more as almost all turn based JRPGs are now action RPGs. So very excited for this news. The story, judging by the trailer will probably be the same strong narrative but with more comedy in it. Only thing left to see are the kind of minigames they will put in this new saga.
The only real bad move is calling it Yakuza 7. Shin Yakuza would be a good name to be more easy to indentify a new chapter in the Yakuza series.
Judgment is fantastic, one of the best games they've made and the best game in the new engine by far.
This isn't an argument based on "realism." It's an argument that the Yakuza series shines by having personal, intimate encounters with people in the world, and that it'd shit all of that up by having a big pack of people running around with you all the time. The chicken doesn't follow you everywhere, show up in every scene, and pop out from your pocket while you're at the love hotel with a hostess.
Try for a second to see past your hype for this game turning into your favorite genre.
Totally. It's just big shoes to fill, and I haven't seen this character hook me yet.
Woah, switching to turn based seems crazy! See how it goes. I've only played Yakuza 0 but the combat was just okay (one of the weaker aspects of the game) so I'm open minded.
I mean, the idea of gangsters rolling together is pretty prevalent in gang culture and especially goofy Yakuza movies.
I see what you did there.
Still not sure how I feel about this but man. What a wild decision.
This announcement revealed a certain weird and unjustified preconception I had.
So, we had turn based serious turn real time left and right and that was like "well, duh, expected at this point".
But doing the opposite feels so weird, almost alien like "is this even possible?", even though why shouldn't it be? LIke if turn based games can turn action, why can't opposite happen? But I guess this is so rare, it seems utterly baffling and unheard to me.

Nice trailer. But turn based???
I applaud them for trying something new, but I don't know how I feel about that. If they include a party member that can do DDTs, suplexes or powerbombs as an attack, I'll be onboard.

Yes, I'm sure that the series' trademark substories with protagonists helping little boys buy porn mags, rescuing kittens, dating hostesses and helping fathers make amends to daughters wouldn't be ruined by that at all.
I am more than confused with the turn-based thing, but... kinda excited too. I can't wait to see more about this
Right, and at the rate they put out games it won't be that long until the next one if this game is a dud.
Japanese release dates-
-Ishin! Feb. 2104
-Yakuza 0 March 2015

-Fist of the North Star March 2018

(That's not even including the PS4 ports of 3, 4 & 5)
The longest they've gone this generation is 13 months between titles.
Good point honestly, especially from Yakuza of all franchises
for a sec i thought the full game is only turn based, but i think its just a mode like the gang fights? I dont hate turn based so i dont mind but i doubt they'd change it so radically for the whole game
edit: Just saw the quote that it IS the full game, will still buy.

Yakuza not being based in Kamurocho but in the new city Yokohama (edit: Isezakicho?) is also very interesting.
Sounds exciting to explore, since the Yakuza team are really good with the attention to detail they put towards the city part of the game.

The whole fighting aspect of the game is turn-based now, there's no beat-em up action anymore.
turn based combat?!
Hand to hand combat has always been my least favorite part of any Yakuza game. The special moves get old after seeing them for the 10000th time in multiple games.
Yakuza + in a new city + turned based combat = day one without even looking at reviews and impressions

Turn base?
I'm in.
I'm personally not a fan of the action gameplay. Yakuza 0 was a bit of a drag for me, enjoyed the writing/story but I got bored when it came to actually fighting.

I mean this is a new chapter/beginning for Yakuza, new protagonist, new start, things are going to different, nothing wrong with changing things up after so many years.
I personally want Yakuza in Space so the wackier the better.
