  • In honour of "RGG Studio's Japanese Twitter account make up fake days I swear" day, we will honour our fallen mechanics and minigames of the Yakuza series that will never again see the light of day. Probably. I mean Lao Ka Long's back so who even knows anymore.
    If I got any dates wrong whoops sorry I don't have their birth/date certificates although it is a silly meme so it doesn't matter too much lol

    One day… one day I will launch the newest Yakuza game. I’ll eagerly run to the bowling alley to see whatever silly thing RGG Studio have done this time to my beloved grounds. Jokingly, I will smash my face into the door, only to find it slide wide open. Hesitantly, I shall walk down the stairs, only to hear the familiar sounds of an object with considerable mass collide with 10 smaller objects, creating an unforgettable sound resulting from their collision. The nostalgia. The peace of familiarity.
    “Hell yeah!” Ichiban will shout, as Nanba and Adachi cheer for yet another one of his strikes. His third, in fact. That’s a turkey. They will rush excitedly to the desk to inform the lady there of their accomplishments. They are to be rewarded with none other than a chicken… Nugget, my old friend. Not an atom of your small, feathered body will have felt the sands of time. It will be good to see you again.
    “Bucawk!”
    “What the fuck, Nugget. I know you’re from a different time but you can’t say that sorta shit these days, dude. Seriously.”
    That night, Nugget was eaten for dinner. He was delicious.

      Shinada was invited, but he couldn't afford the cab fare.

    all the 'forgotten' characters make me wish we'd see a return of them in the ichiban arc. Shinada could be an optional recruitable after some baseball minigame storyline for instance, but one character i thought would make the most sense in this 'new era' that would really carry the torch nicely would be... Taichi.
    Dude's already got a unique style (as he wanted to be a wrestler), he would be perfect in Y7 as someone who doesn't believe Kiryu died and would add more meat to the whole reason Kiryu appears in that game to begin with and on top of that you could have a great support conversations with him about how his life looked like prior, which could maybe have some new information for long-time fans.

    • @scarymeunster9095
      @scarymeunster9095 Před rokem +2

      I honestly hope that Ichiban battles the Fixer for Kiryu’s freedom and then Kiryu becomes his sort of second surrogate-yakuza-dad and mentor. I think Kiryu having a relationship with Ichiban like he did with Nishiki would be really wholesome and could finally make Kiryu happy again.
      If one of the sequels to 7 (hopefully 8 or 9) have the Fixer as an antagonist, I want to have it full of substories with characters from other games. Imagine bringing in Haruka, Ryuji, Nishida, Shinada, Date, Gary Buster Holmes, Makoto, Kaoru, and everyone else to support Ichiban throughout the substories and at the end having everyone you met again as Ichiban come in at the end to help defeat the Fixer and save Kiryu with the new Sotenbori security company backing Ichiban and his crew led by Daigo, Watase, Majima, and Saejima leading the combined forces of the Tojo and Omi gone legit. That’d be an epic battle.

    The biggest thing missing from the Dragon Engine games is the bartender.

    Should've put in the dynamic street interactions with NPC's that were in Yakuza 0.
    Seriously, the new games LOOK wonderful but remember how immersive it was when NPC's would actually walk in groups with each other, have conversations on the street, shop at businesses, and salesmen or working girls would approach you for business?
    Like they really could make Ijincho feel so much more alive by making the homeless people have little routines and meetups, and the uptown areas have buisnessmen hanging out at night, or high schoolers actually hanging out (and not getting their faces disfigured by a man riding a skateboard).

      Yeah I don't think bowling is coming back anytime soon. If they chose to not bring it back for the remake of the game that introduced it then why would they bother again? I'm going to assume the Dragon Engine has an issue with ball physics which is why bowling doesn't exist anymore in the series and why they chose to use Unity for Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania instead.
