just started 3 and I'm so happy to be back in the Yakuza world

it's a bit jarring to go back to these graphics after playing other games (Destiny 2!) in glorious 4K HDR, though

You'll get used to it. I just finished 3 as well as every single one of its substories and it was an absolute joy beginning to end. gently caress I love this series.

It very much sounds like its how the new game plays since the main character is "a huge Dragon Quest fanboy" to the point where they are able to name drop the series in game. The characters have job classes and everything apparently that they can change.

I remember it being awkward how in Yakuza 0 they mentioned a game that was "Not Dragon Quest".

You make my korokoro go dokidoki.
Honestly, I think the design team has hit a brick wall with the brawler gameplay. It's always been functional, but never the first thing you want to tell other people about (Beyond the heat moves.)

Leaning harder into the "rpg" part of "action-rpg" could be really cool.

I would have wanted something in between this and the usual format, like with a party you can build and tactics to choose but you're still doing direct inputs. That said I'll follow this dev team into hell.

"Turn-based action?" Regardless, I'm just glad they're trying something new. The cutscenes in the trailer have got a pretty wacky tone going on -- like they wanted to make a game about Kiryu and Majima again without doing another prequel.

I think it was meant to be more along the lines a Criminal Dramedy rather than Criminal Drama. Given Ichiban's lack of respect in the Tojo, he expects the worst case scenario and just rolls with the beatings, humiliation and having to put up with whatever poo poo the Arakawa must endure for the sake of the Tojo

I'm kind of already digging the big old mechanic looking too tired for all of this poo poo as one of Ichiban's buddies, specially the scene where they're doing the buddy cop jumping out of a tall building from an explosion scene

Everyone should play DUKE games.

:dukedog:
I welcome this because why the gently caress not and Nagoshi even straight up says if people hate it they'll just change it back for the next game.

I do hope they do some side games again though like Judgment with the series' regular combat though - the new engine is cool and it'd be nice to have just one more game that goes all out with the brawler combat.

I'll tell you guys an ill-kept secret about me: I'll play any and all turn-based RPGs you put in front of me

but especially Yakuza

e: although with the usual Yakuza design it'll be like "the boss gets twice the actions per turn you do cause gently caress you specifically"; eh whatever.

I think this is cool as poo poo and am real interested to see how it turns out, and I also have a kind of vague fear the relatively new western fanbase will immediately stop caring about it.

If this was a spin off I'd get it but changing the mainline series into a jrpg is insane.

e: I really like jrpgs, just prefer Yakuza to be really high tech River City Ransom games

I mean the heat/ex actions are basically turn based skills already, position yourself, use the skill points (heat bar/segment) to do a special move, it's not like you're the one actually doing all the cool poo poo, and then replenish your skill points(heat bar/segment) with alcohol/tauriner. I think at this point RGG has early earned our trust to make something cool and fun.

That said, I don't really like the look of the new guy very much

Although what I'd really have loved for them to do would have been hand the gameplay design over to Platinum.
