LAD8 got me to quit drinking alcohol because I want to be able to enjoy it in the morning/afternoon (which used to be my favorite Gaming Time - I'm not a night person) on weekends instead of just after the evening beer.

I'm not even joking, it is unironically the reason I decided to go ahead and do this sooner rather than later.

Sorry, I'm quite busy at the moment.
Time to dip out from the thread and maybe do a replay (or first time in the case of 3, 4 and 5) of the rest of the series in chronological order, skipping Lost Paradise and Isshin and finishing with Gaiden.

(I actually started with Dead Souls, then Kiwami, then 0. Majima did a lot to sell the games to me and my partner.)

Checked out a bit of dub through streams and it seems good. Kaiji Tang is killing it as Ichiban. He really nails the determined optimism.
I don't think I've heard Kiruy outside of songs but I'll see how bad he is once I see him in my game so I won't spoil anything for myself on accident.

Also regarding the dub it seems that this time I'm guessing they first dubbed the lines and the sub adheres to it pretty closely. Y7 subs could be a little dry compared to the dubbed version, but here you get what you see. Really funny to hear Adachi say "Fuming, positively seething"

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
I dabbled in YLAD7 just a little to make a nice prologue save on my PS5 and to tide myself over until IW unlocks in a few hours and it's still kind of hilarious they use the 'chase a guy down' mechanics from Judgment in the first few seconds of gameplay and then literally never again

I was disappointed when I got a 'correct' one because it would have been way funnier if all the potential choices were just people blowing smoke the same way Ichiban is.

It's also funny that they are clearly non-canon because as Ichiban has shown he is the world's biggest virgin.

Thankfully I already beat Gaiden. I had initially stopped playing 7 when I switched from PS4 to PS5 a long time ago but came back to it after beating Gaiden. I forgot that I had just changed classes on all my dudes and only had the basic weapons equipped for a series of story battles, that was an ordeal.

wait i know they had the free upgrade, but is there a way to convert your PS4 saves to PS5 saves for 7? i've found myself wanting to jump back in at times, but playing through an entire vanilla game is not ideal

No, there’s no save transfer for 7

I believe the save I'm playing is a transfer from PS4 but I'm playing the PS4 version on PS5. Did 7 get an actual PS5 version too?

Yeah it did but you can’t transfer the save between versions, it’s one of the few cross gen games that didn’t get that on PS for whatever reason.

Apparently 8 has save transfer though.

Ahhh yeah I see the Free PS5 Upgrade icon now, and the version I'm playing is the PS4 one. Actually that's probably why I stopped playing when I switched to PS5 in the first place.

I'm guessing that the random rear end in a top hat during the tatara thing who has a "fighter" youtube channel and who Ichiban jerks off for no reason is an IRL person because I got some real unsettling smiling chef from Y5 vibes during that whole interaction

Most Yakuza cameos fly over my head but I recognized this one - It’s Mikuru Asakura, one of the most popular fighters out of RIZIN, a Japanese MMA promotion from the dude behind PRIDE. His little brother Kai is one of their champions.

Is it just me or is the walking animation a bit jerky? Kind of turns my stomach a bit. The game claims that it is running with a 60 fps frame limit and my GPU should be able to handle that.

One thing I'm a bit unclear on and seem to have gotten conflicting answers on from the previous game and unsure of here: do stat boosts from job ranks carry over when changing jobs?

Last Celebration
Mar 30, 2010
Pretty sure the stat bonuses you get at certain job level thresholds like “Stat +10” carry over, that was like the only real incentive to level jobs.

maybe for one second you can pause; try to step into another person's perspective, and understand that a watermelon is cursing me



yeah, in 7 each job had its own stats based on your rank in that job and then on top of that you add any stat boosts unlocked in any jobs

My favorite thing so far is that the wave/greet people button and the scavenge through garbage button are the same button so I constantly alert everyone around me that I am about to dig through garbage or check the change slot in a vending machine

Judging from the chart, Kasuga got a fantastic deal.
