[The official English title is Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name.] Finally, it’s tomorrow.

PS5 Ryu Ga Gotoku STUDIO Yakuza 8 Side Story PIRATES in HAWAII CERO D (For ages 17 and over) SEGA

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx18

Why are you counting the release date…?

I’m looking forward to it…

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

The naval battle is surprisingly intricate and I’m looking forward to it.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

Isn’t the pace at which new titles are being released in this series a bit too fast…?

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>3

It is SEGA’s cash cow…

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

The naval battle was quite sluggish.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx15

Majima-chan, why did you become the protagonist?

I’m so happy… I have no choice but to buy it now.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

I reserved the deluxe edition, Majima-chan!

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love this key visual.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

Why do I have a business trip scheduled for a week after the release date…?

That’s sad…

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think I should buy 7’s side story if I buy this.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

>>9

If you haven’t done it yet, I definitely recommend it, Episode 7 Side Story.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

I haven’t played the demo, but it seems like the volume of gameplay is significantly enhanced compared to the 7 side story.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>10

The battle is incredibly fun!

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

I briefly hesitated between Go☆Jas and Brother Majima, but it was Brother Majima.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

I kind of want to play the Yakuza series.

I’ve cleared all the Judgment Eyes series, but I’ve only cleared up to Yakuza 4 in the main series.

I think I’ll start by buying seven.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>14

It’s interesting, but it’s an RPG.

The story itself is easy to recommend because it has a new protagonist.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>14

5 and 6 are also recommended now.

5 has the right amount of action and volume, truly feels like Yakuza, and in a way, the scenario too.

I love the atmosphere of Onomichi, which is one of a kind.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

The 7th spin-off has a modest volume but offers a satisfying scenario, making it highly recommended.

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I haven’t finished KCD2 yet, and Monster Hunter is coming out too. Why is everything focusing on February… why…

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>16

Last year’s great RPGs were also gathered around this time.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>16

It’s for business, you know.

Everyone wants to sell software at a good time.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like my brother is becoming one of the strongest in history, but is it just my imagination? He’s over 60, right?

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like I shouldn’t expect a catharsis that connects chapters 6, 7, and 8 of the 7th side story.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, there’s really only O and Saejima when it comes to looking back on my brother’s past (glancing away from President Park).

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>23

I frequently see Makoto in the suggestions, so I guess they are wanted.

But I feel like it might be fine to just leave it as it is at the end of Extreme 2…

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>32

It’s the best to take away any lingering regrets beautifully without revealing my true identity until the end…

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can’t mess with the growth elements, but I think it’s generous that you can play endless weak battles and that karaoke is included in the demo.

I haven’t watched the 24-hour Cinderella movie in a while.

25: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

First Summer Uika is getting even better somehow.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

President Park’s existence is such a blemish that it really troubles me.

27: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The 7 spin-off is in the PS Plus game thumbnails.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

I sometimes want to throw in a haphazard surprise…

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since the action looked fun, I might try out the demo version.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

Yakuza 7 is currently the last game where you can play as Kiryu, but it has many character relationships and story developments that are difficult to understand if you haven’t played the previous games, so playing the earlier titles will definitely enhance your enjoyment.

It’s impressive that 7 can be enjoyed completely on its own.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder what is included in the arcade.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>31

I don’t remember the name, but I recognize the Ocean Hunter!

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t know if Makoto will appear, but it’s really awful that Sagawa is definitely becoming a crew member in the DLC.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

Pirate Queen

Queen Michelle

CV Park Bo-ram

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kiryu-chan could totally release a new game if they wanted to during that blank period up to 8, right?

I want to do something like a laid-back summer where I just relax in the countryside.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>35

I want to catch bugs, go fishing, play menko and bug sumo with the neighborhood kids, and participate in radio calisthenics every morning.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m starting to want some crazy spin-off stories like OTE or Yakuza, unrelated to the main plot.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

In 7, I didn’t really understand about Kiryu-san, but I only recognized him as an unusually strong dragon.

Since we had become somewhat acquainted at 8, it feels a bit off, you know?

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a bit late to say this, but I don’t think it was necessary to have the characters’ ages overlap throughout the series.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>40

During its peak, they were releasing almost once a year, so it wasn’t that much of a problem.

The story has fallen apart…

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought it looked like a character similar to Majima-chan, and it turned out to be Majima-chan!

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m not sure how serious it is, but since there’s VF, it seems like the pace will slow down.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was shown anan, but it was only the last two pages…

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m currently doing 4 towards the image.

However, the system aspect is just too outdated, and the stress is overwhelming.

Also, during this era, the skin was really dirty and gross.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>47

It’s tough to do 3 and 4 now, isn’t it?

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>50

Even the extreme levels seem old now, but if it gets even older than that…

The map is convoluted, but the camera movement is heavily restricted and interfered with, which just feels really bad.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

A game that has been quite seriously forgotten due to the overwhelming presence of Monster Hunter Wiles.

51: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>48

Fans of the Yakuza series will likely buy it without hesitation.

People who only have Monster Hunter Wiles in their sights won’t buy the thread picture from the start, so it’s way off the mark…

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you pay money, even Sagawa will come back to life.

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

In that case, let’s chase them to the ends of the seven seas, Majima-chan!

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

(It’s annoying that Sagawa is still making noise even though I’m already dead…)

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s helpful that they’re releasing it a week earlier than Monster Hunter.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>54

It would have been better if there was early access with the deluxe edition!

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>54

It’s flexible how they moved the release date, even though it was originally on the same day as Monster Hunter.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

In fact, the 7th side story is not finished yet.

Isn’t Kiryu-chan getting older, but their movements are still sharp?

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>56

What did you say?

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

When experiencing the spin-off of 6 and 7, something you absolutely cannot miss is the troublesome 3.

At this point, I feel that it would have been better to bring out this peak rather than 2.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>57

In the entire series, Ryuji has completely vanished, so he might arguably have the least presence, right?

No, it’s not that as a game, but rather as a narrative influence.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>65

Is the biggest event just that Terada has handed over to Daigo?

The heroine is just for that moment…

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder which is more fun, the naval battles in Assassin’s Creed 4 or this. I’d be happy if it surpasses them.

I love naval battles.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to clear it quickly because I’m about to be spoiled right away.

87: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>61

Spoiler: Majima’s brother is indeed cool.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

I recently cleared 4, but the prison guard and the final boss fight with Tanimura were stressful.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even without considering system-related reasons, it’s so ridiculous that there’s a legend about the strongest being 7 outside of it… Joryu-san from 7 outside.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

Yakuza Pirate Commercials Airing on Terrestrial TV

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>64

I’ve seen Monster Hunter commercials often with the PS5, but I’ve never seen a pirate commercial.

70: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>68

The commercial with Majima-chan talking quickly is funny…

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>70

It’s a spoiler!

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>68

I’m surprised to suddenly see a yakuza show up.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

This time it seems there won’t be a game pass… I wonder what to do…

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

The long part of enjoying a slow life with the children of the morning glory and the Ryudo family makes the climax all the more shocking.

To be honest, personally I might like the third one the most in the series.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>67

It would be great if it weren’t for those horribly cheap and annoying organizations like Beautifuleyes.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

The 5th president, Terada, was a survivor of the Jinguon faction and acted out of lingering grudges, so as long as it’s understood that the position of president became vacant again and Daigo was appointed to the top through nepotism, then the content of 2 can be somewhat manageable.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>73

Such… the Osaka Castle splits open and the Golden Osaka Castle comes out, where we fight a tiger in the inner stormy Takashi Castle stage…

77: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>75

Number one doesn’t matter at all!!

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

The 7th side story has the tiger drop still being strong as ever, and Amane could defeat it just by that alone.

As expected, it’s Jōryū-san.

76: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

In the Saejima storyline, battling with Kiryu reveals the insane performance of the Tiger Drop.

Could you please stop ignoring my combos and hitting me with those super powerful counters?

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

In terms of direction, there are a lot of highlights and exciting moments in 2, but the importance of the story setting is relatively low…

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it a bit uncertain if we don’t finish this by 8?

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>79

It seems like it will start a little after 8, and the incidents and their outcomes that occur at 8 will be narrated, so if you plan to do it, it’s better to do it quickly.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>91

Shall we continue?

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ryuji is just really charming after all.

I can’t believe you decided to just leave it to die.

81: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I’m currently playing 0 in a hurry, but I should really keep it in mind as Majima’s backstory…

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

There’s a lot of last-minute rush… I also wanted to take Friday off and do it from the morning.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

The way my brother creates clones is strange.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if the next time they’ll release a new work from Judge…

85: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>84

I have to buy Kimutaku’s rights…

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m doing 5, but I definitely want to use the latest Dragon Engine to move Saejima.

The feeling of pushing through everything with this power is irresistible.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

The logo for the 20th anniversary features a Hannya and a dragon fish.

I think there will be some game or something related to Ichii by the end of this year…

I wish someone would make a festival game like OTE.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

At the end of the Majima brother’s commercial, something like a fast-talking matter might happen.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

Are there two Akiyama characters appearing?

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

This will launch an assault on your home television.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

Just having Majima-oniisan around makes the scene interesting, that’s unfair!

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

Looking at things like PVs, it seems that the story is quite heavily influenced by events that happened in 8, and I think there’s a premise that it’s all about having fun.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that Kiryu-chan’s prognosis in the story has already passed, but I wonder if they will touch on that.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wow, my brother is already 60… but he’s still as lively as ever, to the point where I’m curious how much longer he’ll keep it up.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>97

In this world, if you don’t get debuffed by illness, you can be strong even at 90 years old…

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a world where Etsuko, who transcends eras and continues to be the strongest Osaka aunt, exists…

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

There’s also Yuki-chan, who is older than Kiryu-chan.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if there are any hints for the next work.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

For now, I’ve made it to 6.

I should probably advance the numbering, but I want to play the new title, so I’ll buy the spin-off of 8!

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>103

Even though I want to say “Don’t do the spin-off if you haven’t done 8!”,

I feel like this time it won’t even touch the main story, so I don’t know.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>108

You’re coming out to Nere Island in PaleKana, aren’t you?

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like I cleared 8 about six months ago.

A new one is coming out.

What’s going on?

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>104

Hawaii is being reused…

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

Yuika’s voice has been too good since her red-eyed days.

And Noah-kun is actually not a girl? My delusion was wonderfully denied as I swam in the sea.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

Uika attended a voice acting school.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though it’s called a spin-off, I think it’s probably not something you can’t understand on its own.

111: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There were many touching scenes from 7 to the side story of 7 and to 8, and I’m looking forward to this one too.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

Unlike serious Kiryu-chan, a somewhat wild scenario is acceptable if it’s Majima brother.

113: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s fine for Saratto to pretend that Hanawa is alive.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>113

Well, it’s a world where you don’t die from falling from a tall building or getting shot in the head.

A flower ring is totally easy.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>113

Aren’t we going to do it in a few years?

There are about three precedents…

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think everyone is looking forward to fighting Saejima after all that has happened.

On the contrary, it would be problematic if it didn’t exist.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

Unexpectedly, the zero scenario of Majima was heavy, so it might become serious…

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>115

The reason for losing my memory was revealed in the commercial, and it’s just…

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>115

It seems like they might actually handle serious topics well when seeing their interactions with Saejima.

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

It wouldn’t be surprising if Dwight were still alive, but is it still too early for him to make a reappearance?

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

The synopsis and some character introductions contain spoilers for 8, but well, everyone is probably doing it from the epilogue!

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>119

It was spoiled up to the end of 8 in the official Majima History on YouTube the other day, so I guess they’re assuming you’ve played it.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

The time when Majima was able to enjoy his crazy moves was probably around the part in 3 where he picked up Kiryu-chan with a dump truck near the National Diet Building…

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

Doesn’t it start from a lump of spoilers?

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

In other words, in a world like that, it’s too dangerous with active pirates shooting it out in the sea and islands not far from Hawaii!

126: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>124

In reality, the Sujimon in Hawaii will shoot at you normally, so it’s still somewhat lenient.

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>124

Hawaii’s crime rate is also bad, so it’s safe.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>124

Those who seem likely to betray you come out regularly, and capable people tend to exit for some reason, so this isn’t the time to go crazy…

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the 7 side story that depicts the backside, they thoroughly revealed the core story of 7, so everyone is already on board with that premise!

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, generally speaking, side stories are either happening simultaneously with the main story or set after it, so you usually have to have completed the main story, right?

If it’s going to turn into a standalone spin-off, that’s a different story.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought this even with Tarabou, but battles in Dragon Engine are more interesting with faster characters.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

I never thought the reason for drifting to Hawaii would be revealed in a pre-release commercial.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

This time it’s six months after 8, and the topic we’re discussing is related to that issue from 8, so it’s a given that we’ve cleared it.

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it true that Kimura Takuya has no interactions at all with the main story?

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>133

There is no involvement.

Buildings exist and characters come on outings.

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>133

Kaito and Higashi appear in the 7 side story sub-event.

Sugiura and Tsukumo will appear a little bit in 8 without any voices.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

Don’t say “the king of pirates,” say “the pirate king!”

136: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I’m happy that Ran-chan seems to be appearing in the 7th side story.

That kid was seriously cute.

At least better modeling than the girls from Minato Ward.

When it comes to capturing the faces of real women, it’s subtle… men do it well, though.

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

The performance where the 8 on the 28th flies away to become 1 made me laugh a little.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

The game is about 1.5 times longer than the 7 side story (even longer if you include the side content), so if you just rush through the main story, it might take around 12 hours to finish, as mentioned in an interview a while ago.

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m really happy to see Nishida and Minami, who have been out of touch for a while, make an appearance.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

From Saejima’s perspective, it’s a situation where he’s like, “What the hell are you doing, carelessly losing your memory and playing pirate!”

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

The 7 side story is really short if you ignore the Akame Network and the arena.

I originally intended to make it a DLC.

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since I’m saying something like this…

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s fine to control animals with music at this point, but why are they referred to as “cursed gods”?

Just because it looks like a living thing doesn’t mean it actually is one?

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

The 7th side story only had previously released PokéSars and Rumble as extra elements, excluding the substories.

This time, naval battles are a quite significant new element, so I don’t feel that the lack of volume is that pronounced.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like the pirate elements are more intense than I expected.

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the arena of the 7 side story, it’s good that I can use characters other than Kiryu, from Sugiura and Higashi to sub-characters like Akimoto-kun.

To be honest, other than Kiryu-san, the characters have too few usable techniques, and most of their motions are pretty mediocre, so it’s not that enjoyable…

151: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>149

But I cleared it with mostly a chicken brain.

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>151

Guns are really powerful, aren’t they…!

150: Japan Otaku Reviews

Certification Exam Hawaii Edition

Crazy Delivery

Dragon Cart

Naval battle

Cooking (an evolved version of what was done in the Restoration)

Cannon Batting

Usual karaoke and gambling type.

It’s sad that I can’t ride the trolley bus anymore… There’s no suji monster snap.

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>150

I saw something that looked like a snap in the site introduction, but isn’t there one?

At the play spot.

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>153

Sorry, it clearly states suspicious person snap.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

The review in Famitsu came, but it is indeed a bit short.

Well, I somewhat understood that the price was cheaper, so I made the reservation.

155: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t know at all, but a friend overseas who is obsessed with pirate games is currently frantically playing 7→8, I wonder if they’ll make it in time…

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>155

8 had an amazing amount of content, you know…

I think it might be possible if I ignore various things, but since it’s an RPG, it might be tough.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>157

I think you’ll get stuck with the squid if you don’t level up.

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

The fact that there is a guy who can properly fight with some grit as the final boss gives value to 7 Side Story.

159: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you try to progress at the fastest strategy level, the usual three people and the squid 🦑 and the final boss will become a terrible mess.

160: Japan Otaku Reviews

Don’t tell me that after such a crazy story in the promotion, it won’t end up being a painful development.

161: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since Kiryu-chan has completed her life planning, it’s likely that it will soon be time for big brother to step in as well.

Regardless of whether it’s hard or not, I’m prepared to feel a bit melancholic.

162: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can rush through it if I want, but I might miss out on the delicious parts, like in a game like FF15.

163: Japan Otaku Reviews

There’s also a video that reflects on Majima’s life, so the possibility of his exit this time… might not be there.

164: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kiryuu-chan is sick, but Anisan is too energetic…
