If they really drop Judgement because of this I hope we get some games focusing around some established characters that could be cool. Think of the Majimas, Akiyamas or Saejimas. Hell, maybe even Shinada, hated his chapter but I think they can do something cool with him.

It kind of clashes with the actual story where he’s a lot darker and nastier. Not enough to ruin anything but it’s noticeable when one minute he’s working with his underlings to do a wacky zombie prank on Kiryu and the next he’s beating one of his minions to death with a baseball bat 10 feet away from the 8-year-old girl he abducted, bound up, and shoved in a closet

lol yeah fair enough. I think that's just kind of who he is. one minute he's giving his full commitment to announcing for a cabaret club contest and the next, he's cheerfully asking his second hand man to cut random wires in a bomb to see if that'll disarm it.

yeah Majima in the original Yakuza 1 was way more of a Joker-type sadistic criminal and they couldn't fully remove all those aspects without really rewriting the story I guess

It’s mostly that Majima takes a blade to the gut for Kiryu at the batting cage. but a bit what others have said.

He's just pissed after spending days hiding in the only trash can in Kamurocho that Kiryu didn't walk past.

this series has incredible spin off potential, both in terms of just using the same kind of gameplay with other established characters or doing something totally new and bizarre like a puzzle game with the instant noodle substory guy.

When Judgment first came out I thought it was going to be the start of a pattern of one-off spin-offs, games all set in Kamurocho but following entirely different characters, different themes, unrelated aside from the city, and I still think that would be a cool idea if the Judgment series actually does get shitcanned after this talent agency drama

Ask me about Game Pass: the Best Deal in Gaming!

Yagami is just super bland. In my opinion he's the worst character I've been in control of in all the games outside of maybe Tanimura. Every other main character is better including all your party in 7. Saejima's plot is complete garbage but at least his character is compelling. Honestly there's nothing more to say about yagami other then he sucks - he's so bland that theres nothing of substance to address . Oh yea his smedium leather jacket/wallet chain outfit looks stupid in general but doubly on a man in his 40s(?)

I think they're being wise in focusing their resources on what they're good at, honing it carefully, and not rapidly expanding too much but also, I would slurp up this series like a lot of people slurp up marvel content, so give me the games, Sega. I'll go to a mall for the disco DDR clone, I promise.

one of the lead developers talked in an interview recently about how he'd like to do a kenzan remake so the west can play it (it was their very first ps3 game so they don't like the idea of a straight port), i could see them going down that route if they can't do more judgement

I disagree with basically everything you’ve written here but I have to give you that he’s wearing basically the worst outfit a man in his late 40s could ever wear in history

majima's just a weird case of character development having to be rolled back from 0 to 1 and then redeveloped to give some kind of consistency, which just meant dropping in some lines and reference hinting that there is more going on there.

they made him so subdued and moral in 0 that his demeanour and behaviour in 1 takes a lot of 'ah but he's just acting that way' justification. i just accepted it for what it is - i haven't even gotten to 3-6 yet so i don't know when he first got more layered. i assume it's in 4 cos saejima is playable there with flashbacks.

Actually I just looked it up and he’s supposed to be 35 in the first one even though he’s painstakingly modeled after an actor 10 years older than that. But the point stands

Honestly Majima is increasingly less relevant, he's barely in 4 and 5 and apparently he's in like two scenes in 6. He steals any scene he's in but he's not the series deuteragonist that 0, Kiwami and 2 might have you expect
