@@V_For_Vigilante I disagree. I watched the trilogy when i was 13 years old. Sometimes i was spooked at one scene in the first Matrix. I want to tell what scene, but i don't want to spoil it for some people who haven't seen the movies. However i enjoyed the movie. Not only that it has a great story and action, but also the effects in the film like iconic "bullet time" was soo cool when i saw it for the first time. And in the time the first Matrix was released the effects were something new, inovative, advanced.
If we count all the Tojo men that Kiryu have pummeled into the ground, the number would probably somehow work out to double the Tojo’s size. The only Tojo men Kiryu hasn’t fought is Kazama and Kashiwagi
The Japanese VA work in the finale of this game is unbelievable. Ichiban's VA (also Nishikiyama's VA, I forget his name though because I'm a stupid gaijin) turns in an Oscar-level performance here. The range and intensity this guy brings to the character is astonishing, especially when you think about the easygoing, goofy qualities he also nails.
Kazuhiro Nakaya. Yeah I can see the exact grunts and screams Nishikiyama made for Kasuga. By the way, the way this plot was made was for Yakuza 1 Kiwami slapped with Yakuza 2 and 4 aesthetics. Hence “Yakuza 7”.
Nah, the yakuza org part of each game would've happened regardless. In 6, the Tojo was in trouble because of Iwami and Sugai. In 7, it ended up being disbanded because of the anti-yakuza laws.
@dagoxo7arius the tojo clan was in trouble because of kiryu he shouldn't have return to the clan after the empty lot incident he should've stayed in real estate majima had to return because his tattoo was colored kiryu shouldn't have went to jail for nishiki and he shouldn't have made terada and diago the chairman
WOW!!! Just Wow!!! This is really really amazing!! It's like: drama, role-play, RPG, soap-opera, 80's/90's style kinda comical TV crime-underworld action show, IN JAPANESE??!!!!! .... This is JUST GREAT!!! Thanks for the upload, and great work editting it, just right!! ACE.
@@nunoneves3930 bugging. I really liked how they switched it up to turn based. It’s a nice change of pace. Maybe turn based just isn’t your cup of tea?
I ended up shedding a few tears for Hamako who was willing to defend those girls with her life if it came to that but that was just sad to know Aoki played him and everyone that were from the grey zones.
Thanks for making this. I imagine it took alot of time. The gameplay was a bit slow and grindy for my taste but the story was great so I decided to watch this, a bit slow even for the LAD series standards but one of the best in the series for sure.
Thanks for the awesome compilation. The fight scenes and their supers were a nice touch. Enjoyed the story more than the game so stopped at chapter 10. Glad you put everything together into a video!
I love videos like this. It lets me share this to friends/family that love a great story, but dont have a PS4/have interest in gaming or in playing this game but wouldnt be against watching the story.
There is some crazy attention to detail in this game. *SPOILERS* At 1:01:51 you can actually see a young Sawashiro and Ikumi right there in the crowd, just as in the flashback that reveals Masato's real identity at 13:51:01. They've been right there from the start, you just didn't recognize them.
Something about Kabukicho anime like Gintama and the Yakuza series made it like it's so full of history. Y7's plot is somewhat different than the usual but it's probably my 2nd favourite only behind Y0!
I didn’t understand why so many ppl preferred the eng sub over the eng dub but now I do. The story was good either way but it seems the storytelling has a bigger impact with the eng sub and it’s more compelling. I’m new to the yakuza franchise and this is the first one I played and I just finished the game after about 2 weeks. I also started yakuza 5 and I think I’ll try yakuza 0 since it appears to be popular. This is a franchise I’ll look forward to and I might give play this again on a harder difficulty. This video was long as hell but it’s still very well put good work 😁
@@jumper7625 start with yakuza 0, then kiwami and kiwami 2 ( yakuza 1 and yakuza 2 remake), yakuza 3, yakuza 4, yakuza 5 and yakuza 6 and then this one.
Thanks for uploading this GLP. I've never played or seen a Yakuza game and after watching this one Im definitely wanting to buy this game and play the others.
Oh, not sure if you've already given it a try by now, but this Yakuza was substantially different from past entries. Though a 5 month old comment, maybe this might help anyone else who's interested.
Just finished to play from 0 to 6 when I saw how combat system was in like a dragon i Just didnt like It, instead i watched the "cutscenes", 16 hours...
*8:42:47* I just realized who that was....LMAO *9:57:23* Game has been paused for a while which leads me to believe that the player must be freaking out over having an ikemen (handsome man) join the party: all while the ikemen is none other than someone who looks like they're apart of a famous K-Pop group like BTS...
@@trucnguyentlx It is kashiwagi, if you watch Daigo’s poundmate summon he’s the only one without purple smoke on this feet, which means he isn’t really dead.
11:20:54 That’s how Nishikiyama murders people at first glance. This is just Yakuza 0 and Yakuza 1 Kiwami in a Yakuza 6 setting. 11:22:39 This is the same kind of scene I know from Yakuza 1 Kiwami. Same bar aesthetic, same villain history. The only problem is that Nishikiyama is also Ichiban as well, so, it’s a reawakening of Yakuza 1 Kiwami in a Yakuza 6 setting.
Yakuza is a serious crime drama with underlying tones of the sense of morality and honor. But I dare you to find me another game where I can run a multi-billion yen Senbei manufacturing business with a chicken as my senior director.

Im beating myself hard as punishment for not paying attention to this game... Last 2 days watched all cutscenes from all yakuza games and man i deserve a punch in the face. Yakuza aint just a game its a movie game fxcking amazing man cant believe i missed on this badly.
@@StarfireRebirthCM It felt that way to me. Right now I can't even kill enemies on the street due to the high level gap, and this are just randos on the street. Honestly felt like too much and I dropped it entirely.
@@StarfireRebirthCMits not, theres certain enemies in the game which allow you to level super fast. If u hate grinding look up invested vagabond. At all times in the story u have access to vagabonds that are easy to kill and in less than an hour make you extremely overlevelel At around lvl 20 u can kill a lvl 30 invested vagabond for 15k xp for both job exp and regular xp. This is massive for level 20 Than theres the level 35 vagabond that gives 67k xp Than the lvl 50 vagabond that gives 500k xp In fact not only is the game not grindy but u lvl too fast if u kill these enemies
Honestly if Netflix or any big film company were to pick this up and make it a tv series or movie.. be it real life adaptation or anime... this shit will blow up.
@@AlexEternalChamp Why would that be bad. The story is about societies "trash" having a chance to make a difference. The story would still work with that cast. People like you is why this story was wtitten in the first place.
The highlight of this game for me was when Ichiban got out of prison and the detective kept telling him how things have changed drastically since he was in jail and Ichiban kept insulting the detective lol lmao stop talking shit up your ass old man lol 😂😅 this is when i started to love the game lol.
only reason why i just couldn't play this was because it was a turn base game i didn't feel like taking turn's and stuff i rather just go all out fighting like the other yakuza games
As a protagonist, I like Ichiban. But when he is standing in front of hordes of Yakuza saying he will " kick their asses" or threatening someone...it doesn't feel right.

By the way, the way this plot was made was for Yakuza 1 Kiwami slapped with Yakuza 2 and 4 aesthetics. Hence “Yakuza 7”.
NPC being so polite not to get into the dialogue shot they'll turn around and walk away.
I thought it was strange at first. Just watching them walk in circles
walk, slowly stop, turn around, slowly walks away
some would just vanish and despawn on screen
The “Blah-blah has joined the party!” Sound really makes me happy for some reason :)
in 4 they just disintegrate if they dare to come close to chars in dialogue
Kiryu before Yakuza 7: Always bare hand fighting multiple enemy with weapons
Kiryu at Yazuka 7: Still bare hand fighting multiple magic user
A “yazuka”?

12:12:16 Defeating Majima with the Breaker style. Poetic justice.
Guys remember! The whole reason that this whole gsme happened is thanks to Arakawa Masumi's bladder suddenly calling for a tinkle!
Nah , Arakawa's mother being a greedy bitch . If she isn't , Arakawa's father wouldn't have died and he wouldn't become a Yakuza
Wait what?
Yakuza 6 and 7 would've never happened if they used protection during the deed, let that sink in.....

Funny thing: I was searching the other day for a game movie of this, to watch. Now you have one only. I guess I´m in a good spot ;) Thanks:)
I can't help but notice the npc's turning around when they get too close. It's as if they were "Nope".
It's basically like that with every Yakuza game before this game
2:34:13 crazy how Kiryu was right here just the night before (while ichiban was passed out)
Stories like these always get to the heart, no matter how much of man you are.
I ended up shedding a few tears for Hamako who was willing to defend those girls with her life if it came to that but that was just sad to know Aoki played him and everyone that were from the grey zones.
I cried where he calls his friend before going to prison.

13:27:38 based ichiban criticises the system and it's law being rigged against the poor and opressed
I cried at this scene 1:26:34
As a protagonist, I like Ichiban. But when he is standing in front of hordes of Yakuza saying he will " kick their asses" or threatening someone...it doesn't feel right. When people called Kiryu a "Monster" , it felt believable. Kiryu looked like a real monster and someone he threatens should shit their pants. Ichiban just doesn't have that badass vibe when he is doing badass stuff
Kiryu in the past is threatening too sometimes..
He's a schizophrenic with a hair like that, im sure thats what they went for the vibe
well kiryu is just cold as a person but ichi is otherwise of kiryu personality so complaining them to each other not really make sense
man yakuza series writing quality dropped heavy after this one. 8 was not coming up with good characters or story telling like this and the ones before
the first and last time im gonna watch a video that is 16hrs long HAHAHA the story is really good but I wish the combat was like the other Yakuza games :/
Thats also my biggest concern with the game. A deal breaker. But otherwise story and game is top notch.
As someone who also loves the series, I promise the turn based isn’t bad. It’s pretty fun.
Agreed, It'd just feel a lot better to beat the shit out of some enemies than use MAGIC
