For anyone looking at this who hasn't played a Yakuza/LAD game before, it's also a fine point to jump into the franchise. Ichiban has no knowledge of the previous games' plot, so anything important gets explained to him.

This video just popped up on my feed and as a Yakuza/LAD fan since the very beginning, I'm glad more people got into the 7 since it's a fresh start for newcomers/fans who didn't get to finish all the older games. They took a huuuuuuge risk changing genres but for RGG's first time making a RPG, I'm actually pretty shock how well they made into a good enough RPG when it could've been a huge disaster. After playing Infinite Wealth's demo in Gaiden, they definitely listened to feedback and made a ton of improvements on combat, fine tuning it all into a better playing RPG. Glad to hear you're joining the hype for Infinite Wealth's launch!

I still need to finish this one. I was playing it until March last year. Went in for surgery for a knee replacement. Then ended up focusing so much on recovery that I just didn't play any PS4 games at all for months. Only to finally turn on the system for Soul Hackers 2. I don't remember where I'm at exactly but I do have 6 characters, so I think I'm getting close to the end of the game. Or at least I think I'm close.

When I saw the trailer for Infinite Wealth with a naked Ichiban on the beach, I knew I wanted it. So I pre-ordered, but figured I should play Yakuza: Like a Dragon first since I hadn't played any of the games in the series. So I'm playing that right now! Won't be able to finish it before Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth hits tomorrow though, since I'm only on chapter 11. I'm enjoying it so far with all the silly sidequests. Infinite Wealth will have to wait untill after FF7.

I really liked the game and Ichiban is one of my favorite characters ever but I didn't finish it. I remember there was a huge difficulty spike after you reach the second city and I didn't want to grind the arena. Okay after watching your video I think you mentioned the same fight.

Indeed I did. That fight was brutal. Probably only took an hour of battle arena though, so it could have been worse. You get some great items in there, too.

@@HellFireRPGs SC and 3rd are wonderful, but FC was my first. I also had really bad anhedonia when I played through SC. Based on a partial replay (abandoned when Reverie came out), I suspect that I would have liked it just as much as FC had I been in a healthier state of mind in 2015.

I had some reservations initially that the story might just be "Ichiban interacts with Daigo or Majima or Date or whoever" and was glad when it turned out not to be the case when they barely made any appearance, if any at all. Ichiban as a character I had no problem with, especially after playing as his best quality is that he's not Kiryu. I think everyone has that reaction to Gondawara too... let's just say that isn't his first appearance and leave it at that. There's a kind of Earthbound quality to this game, what with the modern setting and fighting enemies like guys in trash bags and wrecking balls. That and stuff like going to a job centre to activate the job system.
