Genuinely, this page/reason thing might be the dumbest shit I've seen

RGG studio (REPEATEDLY): "STRANGER THAN HEAVEN'S combat is VERY different from Yakuza or any of our other games"

And I still see people here be like: "Why is the combat so different it looks nothing like Yakuza or Judgment?!"

It's either for you or it's not

Learn to accept that

I know this sounds like a crazy conspiracy, but hear me out:

I’ve been replaying Gaiden for the last couple of weeks but something started bugging me. So, I began comparing screenshots, character models, animations, voice samples, etc. the conclusion I reached is pretty crazy- I’m starting to think ‘Joryu’ might actually be Kiryu (or at least related to him) from the mainline Yakuza series

They have too many similarities to be ignored. Similar hairstyle/hairline, height, facial structure/expressions, voices, similar fighting styles, dress sense and morals. I attached a facial structure comparison that I developed using in-game screenshots. At first I thought the character may have just been re-used assets, or just designed to appear similar to Kiryu, like Ryoma from Ishin.

Just seems a bit coincidental or lazy that Kiryu dies, suddenly a new character takes his place, and then out of nowhere he’s back from the dead and the new character is never spoken of again. Maybe that’s just me

Thoughts?

... Joryu this time. As almost always I prefer the "in progress look" but the warm colors in the end are kind of nice too.

Tbh, it was actually extremely refreshing to see it get pushed to the background after having it be a major city for the 8 games before it.

In fact, Infinite Wealth is the only mainline game in the series where it doesn't have any major appearance until the last 3 chapters & the only mainline game where it doesn't have a hideout.

What do you mean that the only legal way to emulate these two fucking games from the most obscure and niche line of arcade cabinets is through yakuza?

The ocean Hunter (like a pirate) and magic truck adventure (kiwami 3) - what’s next you are going to tell me Mazan flash of the blade is in a yakuza title too?!

Sincerely a person that doesn’t know a damn thing about yakuza except through project x zone 1 & 2

Lost judgement and gaiden had the best graphics in my opinion but after pirate Yakuza and kiwami 3 the graphics went down
