I kinda like and hate it at the same time. Like yeah I like the fact Kiryu didn't lose because of plot, but I hate how Ichiban doesn't seem even as strong has any of Kiryu's notable past opponents.
Kiryu just never lost. Kiryu would let you in on something very important. The Yakuza game, its not like boxing. The Man who gets beat down isnt the loser. The guy who cant tough it out to the end, hes the one who loses. Dont you agree? In the yakuza life, there are no KO's. Kiryu would tell Ichiban that not winning a battle doesnt mean shit to him. Getting demoted from main character to side character or side protagonis? couldnt give a fuck. As long as hes alive, he will keep getting back up for more. Which is why Ichiban, a half-ass like him is the one thing he cant stand.
Are they actually pitched lower or is just them actually recording new in-game dialogue for Kiryu. Some of the non-cutscene voice clips in Gaiden go as far back as Kenzan and Yakuza 3.
@@DrMasterAlex By the looks of it, it's re-recorded lines as he toned his voice down. Maybe intentionally to age him up a bit but no actual proof if this is true
@@Ron1n_Sim Yeah, most voicelines were re-recorded for 7, which was surprising since they have been reusing his old voicelines for a while. What's wierd is that most of his voicelines from Gaiden are pre Y7 voicelines, what stranded out the most from the gameplay I've watched were the Y0 battle grunts, it's wierd that they decided reuse his Y0 voicelines when some of them were exclusive to that game and helped distinguish his younger self from the present one. Not a huge problem since I saw a mod that replace most of his vanilla voicelines with the ones from 7 and 8's demo
@@deepflare1028I might be wrong but I think Kiryu’s voice lines in 0 are the same ones as in 3, and I think some of Majima’s are date back to Kenzan or Ishin I think, I know I’ve heard the same ones in Ishin in 0, and Kiryu has Kenzan lines in 4 for those who don’t know.
You should see Saejima do his death's door heat actions to Kiryu in Yakuza 5. The one where he grabs him by the face and swings him around like a ragdoll is really cursed
As Ichiban takes his shirt off, Kiryu asks Ichiball's friends to leave the room for the fight. Ichiban is surprised as now this turn based fight is much harder. Little did he know, as Ichiban thinks of which skill he should use during his turn.. Kiryu throws a punch out of nowhere and it was so painful that his turn-based fantasy is ruined and he must fight Kiryu head-on.
Thanks for this wonderful, engaging video! If LAD hadn't been turn-based combat, I wouldn't have gotten into playing the series. As it stands now; I have completed the game twice, have put almost 300 hours total into it, am working on getting all job stats and ultimate weapons totally maxed, and am planning to hit the true dungeon. I have also started trying to play Judgement, but I am terrible at the controls and can't get past the first boss. That has me unsure if I should buy LAD Gaiden, or skip it and get Infinite Wealth instead.
I would suggest doing a lot of streets fights so you'll get more used to the controls, also buy a lot of healing items and remember to use EX Heat Mode's heavy attacks as they deal a lot of damage. Good Luck. If you won't enjoy or really like the "Beat 'em up" style of combat at all then go with Infinite Wealth.
That's fascinating to read! I usually don't see this kind of comment so I love understanding your mindset. I happen to be the opposite, and I avoided LAD b/c it's turn based. I usually binge games before putting them aside for a long time due to life, so having to learn rpg strategies only to forget them makes playing rpgs difficult. Good luck with Judgement!
I gotta say i love ichi's style (i know this is just a mod not like his full potential in a style.) but given his rowdy delinquent like nature. Some of his attacks are just all out. The charges heavy being him swinging his fist before connecting his moves are all wrestling or brawling. So sloppy hooks with grab moves that hurt. Bad. Ichi has technique but he has no. Real definitive style. But it gets the job done. Love freelancer too.
@@Faceu7745 brawler kiryu still has form and accuracy. Ichiban has a very messy but effective way of fighting wide hooks over hands downer cuts. And his man means of hurting is wrestling moves
According to jhirno ( the creator of the mod) modding LAD 8 might actually be easier than 7 especially with kiryu already having real time beat em up style
Real quick question, do you know if Ichibans party are gonna be playable in some way or is it only the New Dragon going off his meds to defy the turn based boundaries?
They are not playable at all as for now and you can only play as Ichiban, but we can expect mods replacing Ichi with one of his party members or other characters in the future with also the possibility of them having an unique moveset.
Kiryu can do a Counter Hook, a Tiger Drop and a Komaki Parry as well in the mod but he didn't do any of those things in the video because i guess i got "lucky".
It's been awhile since I checked on this mod and I'll admit when I heard about it forever ago I was kinda disappointed that it was just a Brawler reuse but it looks like you gave it a lot of new moves. I like that you made Tenacious fist presumably his hold triangle move, is Rock Throw his regular throw animation? Also the bat style looks good. Is there a clip online of the crane fight?
Hi, i'm not the creator of the mod. Please read the description. Tenacious fist is infact his hold triangle/hold heavy attack move. His bat style (Hero Job Moveset) is his "Close Proximity" regular attack move from the demo of Infinite Wealth So far only this Crane/Heavy Machinery fight has been uploaded with an earlier version of the mod by the creator. ruclips.net/video/I3MJeeO0HXY/видео.html
You know if i could i would mod this mod to make Kiryu unfair to fight, its only fair that Kiryu, saejima, and Majima be unfair to fight against due to ichiban being significatly weaker than them
@@HeroOfTheGun-Bullet it absolutely does, the series has always had rpg elements since the beginning so it was only a matter of time before it became fully turn based. Yakuza 7 proved that it works well.
Honestly the turn based gameplay feels a lot more appropriate for the series as a whole. You get good with one fight style in the classic yakuza games and a lot of the rpg elements go out the window for me
can only hope the mod maker can somehow work the party into functioning AI controlled npcs, though the kiryu fight should still be solo since it would be too easy with idol or nanba healing you.
Genuine Question
Should i upload more? (other boss fights and whatnot if i have the saves)
Maybe beat the shit out of Kume 💀
Roomba boss fight
Yes definitely
can you upload a tutorial thanks
@@mahdixyx What kind of a tutorial? Installation of the mod or a "How To Play" tutorial?
For Ichiban, it was one of the most intense fight he has ever been in. For Kiryu it was Tuesday.
i swear that comment was on another video
I kinda like and hate it at the same time. Like yeah I like the fact Kiryu didn't lose because of plot, but I hate how Ichiban doesn't seem even as strong has any of Kiryu's notable past opponents.
@jettsett9354 Then again, we're talking about a guy who sees monsters and not a yakuza legend here lmao
For Kiryu it was just another substory
Folks say Ichiban is still eternally trapped in a heat action.
At the end Kiryu went in his menu and kept spamming Staminam Royales with how much he was spamming that Heat Action holy shit
But we must never forget… Ichiban only won in his schizophrenic visions.
What Ichiban saw: 0:00
What really happened: 4:09

That and Kiryu wasn't trying to beat ichiban; he was trying to calm him down

0:00 to 3:35 going easy on your younger sibling and let them hit you.
3:40 to 4:47 Humbling them
Ichiban would never beat kiryu without calling down holy lightning from the sky
I was hoping the final boss of Gaiden would have been Ichiban. It would've been cool to fight him and his whole party from Kiryu's perspective.
Ichiban knows how to change style while fighting Kiryu is one of the few things that make this fight a lot better
2:57
Appreciate the 'real heroes play turned based' lol
Pretty cool looking, but Kiryu definitely needs some buffing like stagger resistance and grab resistance
Seeing this fledged out in the yakuza pov is badass.
Subbed for the intro, stayed for the gameplay
Ah yes, how it actually went
3:14 that sync
1:32
SEX?!?!?!
THAT FUCKING THUMBNAIL LMFAO
I hate that he doesn’t just chug 100 Stamina royales to gain all his health and heat back like he does in literally every other game.

This mod is pretry solid if I must say. Looks like a real game already.
Too bad they didn't explain in Gaiden, why tf he's going around in his usual clothes and not hiding his identity like he supposed to😂
He accidentally stepped in white paint on his way to Ijincho
he dressed up back into his kiryu costume just to beat up ichiban then quickly changed back to joryu
Kiryu losing to some low level yakuza? He definitly had cancer in LAD.
Bro forgot to go balls out
Nah it's just me playing as kiryu
I mean he didn't really lose, the cutscene(s) that play after are a pretty clear indicator that Kiryu rocked his shit.
this fight would definitely be more exciting if it was like that

I wish Ryu Ga Gotoku gave the actual game a brawler mode so you could choose how to fight.
