Seeing Yakuza and Persona announcements in an Xbox showcase is still weird and awesome. Love the progress that's been made with Japanese 3rd parties

It's probably set in Hawaii, which most Japanese consider to be part of Japan anyway.

I enjoyed Y7 a lot, beat it, but it needs way better RPG mechanics. I hope they learned from that game or brought in a veteran from another company or something.

Guess I was just confused because the first teaser we saw was of Ichiban and Kiryu together in Kamurocho and all of their behind the scenes stuff showed most of the old crew coming back. It’s very tonally different.

Yakuza's middle name could be "tonally inconsistent"

I'll second this...combat could've been really cool but was dull with no challenge ...Unless it gets harder/better in the second half. I stopped playing halfway

That's what I thought it was, seems like a spinoff of the great "minigame" I spent so much time in. Even if its smaller in scale thus more focused I wouldn't mind at all. Like another mentioned I can see this plus the Kiryu game setting up the next mainline title. Or maybe I'm totally wrong lol. Either way I'm in.

Oh shit, it is !
"An unexpected chain of events sets two legendary ex-yakuza, Kasuga Ichiban and Kazuma Kiryu on a larger-than-life RPG adventure. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is the previously announced eighth iteration in Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s flagship series, launching early 2024. "

Why? Yakuza have a strong impact and presence alongside the Triads in Hawaii. It doesn't need to be set in Japan.

A small side map in hawaii would be alright I guess but we don't know if it's hawaii yet.

For me, one of the best parts is it's all in Japan, Hawaii is fine, but I hope it's not a mainstay.

I'm predicting there will be a dual storyline with Ichiban in the US and Kiryu in Japan. Kamurocho is for sure still in the game (based on the first trailer) and at the very least this means there will be a new city built from the ground up. If there is one issue with Yakuza, it's the amount of assets that are re-used between games. Lost Judgement even re-used Yokohama from Y7: Like a Dragon. Then again, I do wish it would stick to just showing off Japanese culture.

Wish we saw more than 1 protracted joke but happy to see its on the way

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
Just imagine the amounts of money needed to convince Japanese developers to create games for an audience that doesn't buy their games...

Why does it has to be outside of Japan if they reused Kamotucho alot.
It's not like 80% of modern time based games are in the is are a problem for most people.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
