Seeing this makes me realize that Kiryu and Ichi has different body language, not just how they readied themself for battle but also their action& reactions as well
@Akira_Nishikiyama_reaction I think it really speaks to his grown experience over the year's. In 0 and kiwami he utilized resolute counters (which was him getting hit, just to hit back) for his unrefined brawler style but even in cutscene's/story moments he was much more of the mindset of powering through with his superior strength. But over the year's and training with komaki and daidoji, he better utilizes his movements to parry or capitalize on an opponent's attacks on his own.
i don't know why, but i'd love to see a mod where ichiban is replaced by nishikiyama, maybe for the voice actor, maybe to see him and kiryu fighting togheter, i don't really know.
What i like: 1.Yamai fight Kiryu multiple times 2. 5:13 Kasuga vs Sawashiro V3 (Kasuga fought Sawashiro 2 times on Yakuza 7) 3. 6:01 In Chapter 12 Yakuza 7 Remember that Kasuga fought Majima? yeah this is what Majima meant the real battle and they no longer hold back bring Daigo 4.If Kiryu goes to Hawaii, Please dont inhale Radioactive again 5.10:32 Many of people complains that Kasuga dont fight Ebina welp this time here it is
Somehow, the swap matches their fighting styles even more imo, especially with Kiryu's staggering showing how much weaker he is now due to the terminal radioactive cancer. Edit: And the boss match up with Ichiban make more sense in this mod. Bruh this makes it look like Kiryu is fighting Bacchus 9:20
Is it just me or is Nanba going for Daigo and Seong hee going for Saejima less fitting than the other way around i mean Seong hee was a leader of her own organization like Daigo and Nanba and Saejima have that homeless connection along with Loyalty to their Bro's
@@limppickle4306 Depends how motivated Nanba or Saejima are if they're both motivated yeah Saejima flattens but if Nanba's motivated he could give saejima a run that's for sure, i mean the fight in 7 also happened...

there’s a couple comments that say why ichi shouldn’t have fought ebina but i’ll sum it up 1. we already had brother vs brother (blood doesn’t mean jack to ichi) 2. ebina is a product of the mess that kiryu had made in the yakuza series 3. something else so i can make a third point
While I like Kiryu vs Ebina and I get why it makes sense. Bryce’s boss felt like an after thought compared to the climax of ebina. Seeing Ichiban here in Kiryu’s place made me realize that Ichiban is still kinda just his same self without much of an ascension like his Koi represents. The change in models is so cool bc (pretending this is how the story goes about right) it shows like a more tangible progression of power/maturity for Ichiban.
@@MrBDSaint34how? /gen Kiryu VS Ebina was because he was taking on the sins of the yakuza’s past and trying his best to make up for them, and Ichiban was fighting for the ex-yakuzas’ futures, that’s the theme. And so while it’s cool to see Ichiban and Kiryu fight different final bosses and definitely a neat idea, I don’t really see how it makes more sense than the original thematically :0
@@MapleSyrup2002 Exactly. Ichiban fighting him would have done nothing but add a sense of deja-vu in the brother vs brother final boss route from the last game. I doubt Ichiban would ever get through to him the way Kiryu did either as his hatred for the yakuza has far outgrown Arakawa.
@@shrpha7112tbh i would like to see Ebina return in LAD9 for the exact reason that he could become the anti-heroic ally, the 'cooler brother' trope. Since they're half brothers and all
why tf this small change feels 1000 TIMES MUCH BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL GAME?! Really, maybe if they did this at first place probably Y8 would be much better than now
actually its because yakuza 8 is so peak that it makes sense either way the protags fight, the explanation for each fight would be different but the game would still feel thematically sound

It is interesting that Kiryu always dodging attack from opponents or aggressively fight back. He doesn't really block attack compare to Ichiban.

@@Akira_Nishikiyama_reactionHe still remembers lessons from Kamoji :D
Oh no, Ichiban now has cancer and Kiryu is dumb.
That's just normal kiryu
Kiryu in goofy side quests
I love how different Kiryu feels with Ichi's body language and vice versa.
Yooo this is amazing work!!! Glad to see no weird eyes or claw hands
_cough_ dev here _cough_ thanks
@@Norrabalwait are you actual dev? Amazing work sorry if i make some people think i make mod :(
Honestly, the switch for yamai/sawashiro feels so good in the context of the story that i think i prefer this to that in that specific regard
i don't know why, but i'd love to see a mod where ichiban is replaced by nishikiyama, maybe for the voice actor, maybe to see him and kiryu fighting togheter, i don't really know.
Time traveler: pees a little
The timeline:
What i like:
1.Yamai fight Kiryu multiple times
2. 5:13 Kasuga vs Sawashiro V3
(Kasuga fought Sawashiro 2 times on Yakuza 7)
3. 6:01 In Chapter 12 Yakuza 7 Remember that Kasuga fought Majima? yeah this is what Majima meant the real battle and they no longer hold back bring Daigo
4.If Kiryu goes to Hawaii, Please dont inhale Radioactive again
5.10:32 Many of people complains that Kasuga dont fight Ebina welp this time here it is
I feel like you gave us an early look at LaD9 Ichi.

Definitely shows well just how much more messy Ichiban is compared to Kiryu

6:42 Huh...I never knew Seong-Hui was Russian
i feel like ebina could have worked for ichiban but with this it just shows me ebina would demolish ichi
And Kiryu would've no trouble handling Bryce. But yeah, poor Ichi in this scenario.

yakuza 9 be like
Seeing Ichiban's rage/mad face in the dynamic intro for Ebina after his friends get folded seems so much more fitting imo.
Ichiban vs Ebina feels better than the original for some reason
lemme guess because they're half brothers or something?
