I love Ichiban being so inexperienced and being basically a weakling compared to the other playable characters we've gotten so far, he's just a step above what Kiryu would have fought in the past, but he truly is a Koi coming to the gates, hence the tattoo. His potential is screaming and I love it, he's 10 years younger than Kiryu, 13 years younger than Saejima I believe and a whole 15 years younger than Majima, he was in prison for 20 years almost and came out with his spirit intact like Kiryu did, but Kiryu was already a legend by that point, he already had years of fighting and Yakuza experience, Ichiban was always a novice, but his potential is amazing
If there's one thing I like about watching this, even though I'm spoiling myself by choice, it's that I'm learning that Ichiban really ISN'T that good of a fighter. Like... he's serviceable enough, especially with back-up with his team, but Ichi is the same kind of mook that Kiryu is able to stomp flat in seconds. Anything he does is easily read by those he's fighting against, and his moves are clumsy. It really cements the idea that this is the start of a hero's journey.
I wasn't... critiquing him? I'm saying this is a positive. XD Yakuza protagonists are one man armies. Ichiban does not have that talent, but he will be perhaps sooner than we think, and I appreciate that we don't immediately see him as such.
Ein yeah with Ichiban you have to remember he doesn’t have a legendary hitman backing him, no komaki training, and no general experience fighting in surmounting odds till now this is exactly what his skill level should be at right now and it’s refreshing to see.
Ein Yeah! And I love this new protagonist. Because we see Kiyru in the game and by now he’s a legend. It’s nice to see almost an every man as the hero. It’s kinda refreshing to see just a man with a good heart and almost virgin fists to put it in a way. He’s not a legend or a massive hero who literally took on armies of men. This is a story about a man, not a god of war like Kiyru. I’m excited to see Ichiban became the beast of combat I know he can be. It’s almost an underdog story.
Every single part of Ryu Ga Gotoku they make new soundtrack or variation of the old one, but they NEVER screw it up. Yakuza 0 had that perfect style of 80s-90s, despite I was born in 1997, I kinda feel the nostalgia for those times they tried to achieve; Kiwami 2 brings in some Jazzy charm and newage feel, just at the brink of information age; Now they push that dubstep/dance placing just in the row with latest Devil May Cry. The consistency of quality of that studio stuns me.
You know what I wish for but know won't happen? I want the battle systems for all of Ichiban's games to be based on different game series that he's recently become obsessed with like how Y7 is an RPG because he loved Dragon Quest so much as a kid. Imagine if he got into Devil May Cry or something before Y8. Also Jo is stupidly badass, geez.
What if Yakuza becomes like Assassin's Creed, where Abstergo makes AC games within the AC universe? So, in this case, an alternate RGGS makes Yakuza games within the Yakuza universe, and Ichiban becomes obsessed with them! 😅 Also Jo might be a badass, but he'll never be a cane master like Cane Man lol
@@Someone_Else I like to think the Yakuza universe has a game series about the American mafia with Caucasian copies of our favorite characters. I guess that's kinda what Dead to Rights already is though. DtR even has a crazy eyepatch guy.
@@bottleofgreed4415 Surprisingly for most VAs, age doesn't really affect their characters' voices all that much, unless they are told to be more aged, for eg Sam Fisher (Michael Ironside) Batman (Kevin Conroy) an example of intentionally aging the voice is Old Snake in MGS4 (David Hayter, claimed it was tough for his throat to get the aged voice right)
Adachi is too clumsy to even get down from the window you think he could pull the box thing off? Nah they made the right call having the homeless man who literally has healing abilities of sleeping on boxes be the one to do this.
comparing to more serious tone of kiryu's tale, ichiban's tale way more refreshing and more funnier on it's own. This makes the passing torch between the old dragon and the young dragon far more symbolic on it's own. Sorry for spoiling XD
During that final battle not only we see the only instance of classic Yakuza QTEs, but Ichiban goes back to the Freelancer (unarmed) job, turn order gets a bit all over the place, and Masato immediately counters attacks at random regardless of turns. That final battle has Ichiban leaving aside a lot of his Dragon Quest hero and turn based battles illusions; he's simply beating the crap out of his brother to try and get him to come back to his senses, and thus is taking it way more seriously than any encounter before. Love that touch of storytelling through gameplay.
It sounds like when describing the events after it happened instead of when it actually happened "So the this big guy grabs me and then uwaarrhhhhhhhhha, I'm on the other side of the building hanging for dear life"
My favorite is Ishioda's last fight, from the first time you meet him in his wrecking ball to his last in a abandoned building he manage to be badass in every way possible (even bullshit with that fucking gun attack). btw you missed a attack where if someone is on the ground ishioda will pick up a chair and smash it against them similar to how sawashiro bashed you if you were knocked down
I might be wrong but I think I also spotted at least one other boss heat action that I didn't include but I can't remember it for the life of me. Thanks for letting me know, though, I'll see if I'll include that if I make an updated version with the English release.
I really hope we get another beat em up yakuza not whatever the hell this was. Cutscenes are great and all, story is good, but gameplay was so out of place and jarring i want to go back to the old formula. If this is where yakuza is going then im jumping off this crazy train.
Eileen Milligan I imagine that would be difficult unless they made some basic stock animations like they did for Majima and Saejima which was them getting hit. Other than that it’s largely difficult I think to have any specific involvement unless you had specific situations given the team order is up to you once you get extra members
Eileen Milligan an easy fix for that I believe would be a stock heat or main action in support of Ichiban when you have bonds high. Say you past a qte mid battle it opens up for some bond type coop move from a random team member.
@@cruizer54 well, remember we have Judgement. And maybe Judgement 2 will back as it is. Beat em up. Buuutt, i want they keep up with new things for Yakuza Main series. Its been so long with that formula
This is really weird.. I went back to the video edit and there's no extra piece there dropped by mistake. When I viewed it at first, that part was silent, then when I viewed it again, Kiryu's lines played over it. Must've glitched somehow :/
What I noticed in all of these dynamic intros is that before sending you into battle, it would focus in on the enemy. However with Kiryu’s intro, instead of focusing in on Kiryu, it focuses in on Ichiban.
man, i feel like the only boss that had a real transition between phases was sawashiro. it was hard keeping the hype when kryu was basically at majima, all the bosses became sponges. this being their first turn based rpg definitely shows
I have mixed feelings about Ichiban being that much weaker than most of the characters in the game on his own but at the time it’s... fresh, looking forward to playing this game.
That whole final battle is one great example of storytelling by gameplay. All this time up until that point we've seen Ichiban picturing himself a Dragon Quest hero and seeing all his fights like a turn based Dragon Quest romp. For that final battle? Not only he ditches his "legendary bat" and goes back to the unarmed Freelancer job, but we also get a battle where turn order starts getting a bit all over the place, where Masato openly counters Ichi's attacks at random regardless of turn (something only Kiryu does before him with his Tiger Drop, and I can assure you whatever Masoto's doing has nothing to do with the training, skill and raw power needed to pull off a Tiger Drop), and the only time we see the return of the classic QTEs. It all screams that Ichiban is putting aside the Dragon Quest coat of paint over that battle more than ever before. He's just straight up trading blows with his brother, desperately trying to knock some sense back into him.
I feel like the next game is returning to the Beat-em-up style Ichiban will have to evolve and become stronger, to the point of being atleast strong enough to handle battles on his own, instead of requiring help. Although I anticipate he will be around the level of Y0 Kazuma in the next game Dayum, now that I think of it, as weak as Kazuma was in 0, he is still pretty strong if you don't take into consideration people like Shibusawa or Awano, and Ichi still wouldn't stand a chance. Well, he would be abit stronger the usual thuggos
Tbh, this game is fun, but honestly, not really a fan of turn based games like this, I wish this was just like the past Yakuza games, I do respect the devs for trying something new.
Looking back now... I realized something: If they did that final 1-on-1 battle a real-time beat-em-up fight, they would've nearly redeemed themselves from the displeasure of the ones who preferred the original mechanics. If you ask me... it's an opportunity that isn't easily seen and thus was wasted, unintentionally or not.
But you have to remember a good chunk of people started at 7. It'd be weird suddenly giving them a beat em up for the last boss. Also the players reached the final boss, that means they were committed enough to learn the gameplay to get there. Fans of the old series don't wanna play hours of a turn-based RPG just for a meager 15 minite beat em up boss.
@@kaiokenghost No, they would still function like bosses, just in Yakuza gameplay. You really think Iwami is stronger than any of these? And he's the final boss of Yakuza 6, and a lot of bosses Kiryu faced throughout the games are about the same level as these guys.
Defril Prihadyansyah likely intentional due to being the dragon of rockbottom. And if he only gets better as a dragon he will go from trash to Number 1
Just beaten this game. Easily the best game in the series. The turn based combat Works honestly even tho It has it flaws with the AI but still a amazing game. It does get comedic but Literally almost every Yakuza game has a lot of comedic moments. But it gets DEEP. The ending Was honestly Amazing and it made me cried and ichiban became my favorite yakuza character. Such a godlike game Man!
Am I the only one who is worried about the amount of main story bosses, there are like 3-4 bosses before M and S fight, then one from the beginning, then Mr K and after them 3 final bosses one of which we have already fought. Totally 10 (maybe 11) boss fights. The average number of bosses in Yakuza game is kinda like 15 or 16. But Imho there should be more bosses with such a type of combat than in other games, not fewer. Also kinda sucks for me that there are nearly no QTE (2 easy QTE for the last boss who is in my opinion looks really weak).

You really think Iwami is stronger than any of these? And he's the final boss of Yakuza 6, and a lot of bosses Kiryu faced throughout the games are about the same level as these guys.
Ive never been so happy to get my ass kicked by Majima and Saejima. Genuinely my favorite fight in the series despite my dislike for RPGs.

as much as I love adachi but what in the world is that noise? Hahahaha
Best random noise by Ostuka Akio ❤❤❤❤❤
GOTY 2020! fight me
Kiryu: [beats the shit out everyone who stands in his way]
Ichiban and co: [bumbles around trying to survive]
God I love Yakuza 7 so goddamn much.
Ichiban got a cool name lol
People actually gave him shit for that like most of the yakuza characters haven’t had pun names like Taiga, Kiryu, and Nishiki
@@tyveculus220 his last name can be read as trash or garbage
Defril Prihadyansyah likely intentional due to being the dragon of rockbottom. And if he only gets better as a dragon he will go from trash to Number 1
One of the guys is voiced by the same guy who voices Blackbeard in One Piece. (Japanese Dub)
Did anyone else use just Attack in the final one on one?
Physics left the chat

The last one was the best one
maybe the game have that classic yakuza combat after all
Just beaten this game. Easily the best game in the series. The turn based combat Works honestly even tho It has it flaws with the AI but still a amazing game. It does get comedic but Literally almost every Yakuza game has a lot of comedic moments. But it gets DEEP. The ending Was honestly Amazing and it made me cried and ichiban became my favorite yakuza character. Such a godlike game Man!
Am I the only one who is worried about the amount of main story bosses, there are like 3-4 bosses before M and S fight, then one from the beginning, then Mr K and after them 3 final bosses one of which we have already fought. Totally 10 (maybe 11) boss fights. The average number of bosses in Yakuza game is kinda like 15 or 16. But Imho there should be more bosses with such a type of combat than in other games, not fewer. Also kinda sucks for me that there are nearly no QTE (2 easy QTE for the last boss who is in my opinion looks really weak).
rip rush battle
Who knows if I play it I might love it
You missed something,
You didn't include the Shonan no Kaze variants lol
Or maybe you can make a comparison video about it
