This game is absolutely amazing so far!!! :D

One thing that I was scared of when going into this game was the tone. I was scared that it was going to be way too lighthearted, and not take itself seriously. Thankfully, my fears were completely unfounded! It still feels grounded and serious, but also tries to fill you with hope! :D

I honestly love the way that the environment plays a role in battles. Having the characters pick up bikes that are in front of them, and the way that enemies block attacks are pretty cool, and it does a good job of translating the typical Yakuza gameplay to an RPG format! :D

Just finished Yakuza: Like a Dragon chapter 3! I loved that scene at the end between Ichiban and Nanba.

Honestly, this game is really making me want to check out Dragon Quest lol

I love how they sometimes have to run really far just to get to the enemies XD

Omg I just noticed that there's an 8-bit Nanba in the bottom right corner of the loading screen too! That's adorable :D

A loading screen from Yakuza: Like a Dragon (2020). In the bottom right corner are 8-bit versions of Ichiban and Nanba.

Nanba’s speech to Ichiban about homeless people was such a good scene and immediately made Nanba one of my favorite characters.

This game has just been filled with incredible and touching moments so far 🥹

Also, I think I mentioned this in a previous post, but I'm absolutely loving the combat so far! I'd honestly be completely fine with every main Like a Dragon game from this point on being an RPG :D

...but honestly I feel like the way this game does those things feels a lot more fleshed out, and it impacts me a lot more than Yakuza 1 did surprisingly.

(I'm not saying that Yakuza 1 is bad or that I dislike that game, I'm just saying that I'm liking this game a lot more)

Just finished up Yakuza: Like a Dragon chapter 2! I'm loving everything about this game so far! The story is really interesting to me, because it feels like it's just "Yakuza 1 but better". I'm noticing a lot of similarities between its characters, plot points, etc...

I love the little detail that the save points in dungeons are phones! It's like how all of the Yakuza games pre-2016 made you find a phone booth in order to save your game! :D
