the best way to farm lots of money for majima is to farm it as kiryu and send it over. you don't really need to bother unless you are leveling majima's special style or, god forbid, trying to get every possible item from dragon & tiger.

how much does the gameplay change between LAD 7 and Infinite Wealth? I liked it but having no idea how wide my AOEs were was very annoying. Also the part where enemies would shuffle out of the way mid-cast.

It’s a marked improvement over 7. In addition to the AOE indicators you have a slight freedom of movement to line them up, plus there are loads of conditions that add oomf to your basic attacks (ie, you do more damage if you’re close to them, or if you hit them in the back, or if you’re near an item, or if you hit them against the wall, or into another enemy, or a teammate, or probably other things I’m forgetting).

I found the tag-team attacks in 8 were a bit weird for targeting. Like you'd line up the attack so it'd hit three guys, but then the attack would actually happen somewhere else and only hit one guy instead. AOEs in general were definitely much easier to hit multiple opponents with in 8 than in 7, though.

Yeah 8 did a lot to improve movement and targeting in combat. The ability to move around within a range and set up proximity bonuses and back attacks never got old.

I liked knocking enemies into another character and them sending the enemy flying with a bonus hit. That and getting the girls to use street weapon attacks, Saeko wailing on someone with a park bench as big as she is was funny every time.

I knew I was hooked when Saeko slammed a handbag into a dude for ~20 damage, but it knocked him into traffic and he got run over for another 100 damage.

I hope LAD9 goes a little deeper into battlefield texture. Realistically only Kiryu can interact with them unless you get lucky and you’re fighting on the street and a car hits a guy, like above. Reckon Adachi could do some awful things to a street punk with the power of being a dirty cop and a concrete wall.

His skills suggest he played pretty dirty even if he wasn't a dirty cop per se.

The sense of morality at play in RGG games is so muddled I have no idea if a cop who wails on people with a baton is supposed to be morally compromised or he just Get Results since the one other time you play as a cop its mostly doing stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl4escf5C84

3,000$ rent for a small apartment?! Oh my God I need an anarchist/socialist protagonist, Jesus loving Christ. Also in the hypothetical future of another LAD game taking place in England and an excuse for why all these British people are speaking Japanese is just a ton of them lived in France and springboard off of this https://news.artnet.com/market/gray-market-culture-pass-france-1995057 Also if they're sticking to a job system for the Ichiban games, they simply must shave off 9 more hours between starting the game and getting access to the job system every game.

The movie takes place in Japan and he's always having to deal with a Japanese person for some type of service (e.g. renting a car or some or thing needed to move the plot along). Jean Reno always says (in French) "I don't suppose you speak French?" and the Japanese person responds in a complete fluent "yes, I speak French perfectly well" in a totally "native French" dialect without any sort of "I learned French as a second language" accent. This is never explained, they just roll with it.

Just picked up Eri and she's 5 levels behind everyone else. Maybe I've been grinding too much? Something about getting levels in various jobs to pick up those persistent bonuses really scratches a mental itch. Also the cast in Yakuza 7 is just really nice and fun. The little conversations you get in the streets and the restaurants are so characterful, everyone's a treat to spend time with. It genuinely makes me wish we could've had a game with Kiryu and Nishki and Majima hanging out like this. There's an empty spot of time in the 90s you could fit it! But really the best compliment I can pay to 7's cast is that I haven't at any point wished Majima or Kiryu were around. Ichiban and Nanba and Adachi and Saeko stand up great on their own.

It's probably my only significant gripe, since it's hard to predict when it's going to happen. It's especially common when doing one of the tag-team attacks. It'll say my attack is hitting a certain area, but then during the animation It'll end up hitting a completely different area.

Tag-team targeting is just kind of screwed, but other AoEs should be reliable.

Are Kabuchiko and Dotenbori actually laid out anything like their LaD equivalents? Like, I assume a few landmarks are spot-on (the Kabuchiko archway, the Dotenbori bridge), but that aside I would assume creative liberties were taken with all the streets.
