I'll do what I did with 7 and play NG with English voices and NG+ with JP voices. Hopefully the subtitles are better this time.

Yeah, I'm paying for NG+ because Kiryu and Ichiban are my friends and need the money.

Okay, forcing myself to make a decision on getting that preorder with 36 hours to spare: how much would the extra jobs likely end up being if released on dlc later?

The jobs from 7 are $5 on Steam right now. Don't know if they were more at launch, but it will probably be the same for IW. So you save at least $5 by pre-ordering.

Matriarch in Y7 seemed pretty cool but I'm not a big fan of DLC that screws up game balance. It wasn't even very cleanly integrated since you don't get weapons for the two DLC classes until fairly late in the game I think. I didn't get them in the end.

On the other hand reclassing Saeko or Eri into a naginata-wielding badass would have been stylish as heck so maybe I should have. Looks like this time around you get some goofy sports jobs instead? Ehh.

The only thing tempting me towards the class DLC in 7 is that there are too few female jobs compared to the boys. Is it worth it at all besides sounding cool?

from memory matriarch is like the best dps class for the girls, and devil rocker gives the boys a blade attack that has health leech

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

Matriarch has a cross-class Gun skill so its a really good one to go through. Devil Rocker I’m less keen on, its cross class skill feels a lot more gimmicky to me.

Yakuza 8 will be at least the second best Minigame-filled JRPG where you play as a goofy protagonist who rides a segway around a tropical location but the real focus is on everyone wondering if a character who is destined to die is actually going to do released in the first part of 2024.

I love Like A Dragon.

7 really got me hooked. Ichiban is such an inspiring character.

:hfive:

After playing all those Kiryu games I had my doubts but Ichiban really was an incredible main character, I devoured LAD 7 and it's got all that old magic there. I still have to get The Man Who Erased his Name before I can get to Infinite Wealth, but I am so pumped for more Ichiban!

I can’t imagine a world where you’d wanna just smash through the main story and miss literally everything that makes the games so great.

Without all the trimmings they’re just corridor brawlers where sometimes you run around outside to find the next corridor to brawl through.

Re: Judgment. I'm still going through it but...

Should I just turbogrind the main story? I could probably finish the story by the weekend. But I'm gonna be playing Infinite Wealth almost as soon as the preload decrypts. The game's decent. I did hear that Lost Judgment is really good and one of the best titles that RGG released.

Judgment has one of the best main plots in an RGG game with cool stakes and building momentum and its side content gets pretty grindy if you're trying to do all of it (one of the friends requires you to finish two successful games of mahjong, one of them requires finding 50 QR codes, and those gang alerts NEVER end) so if there's any game in which blasting through will be a great time it's that one

you're right that it's a hella grindy one but lol at the thought of "winning mahjong twice" being an ordeal

Someone on Reddit seems to have got the list of individual items included in the DLC bundles from what looks like PSN store descriptions.

No real mind-blowing surprises in there if anyone was wondering exactly what they get in each bundle of poo poo.

Looking at that list, at least some of that stuff is 'early unlock' rather than 'only way to get it.'

Edit: In fact looking at the list, aside from the Big Swell and NG+ (maybe) and the costumes if you want more costumes, all of this poo poo is worthless.
