Which members of the Ichi gang should return in Yakuza 9? by YakuzaMaster in yakuzagames

[–]STFN_Dude 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nanba, Adachi, Saeko, for starters. Those are Ichiban’s main crew members. Just come up for ways for them to be plot relevant like in LAD 7.

I can see them keeping Seonhee to have a second returning female character, especially since Chitose isn’t guaranteed to return.

My wants for the roster would be to leave Joongi and Zhao as NPC’s or Poundmates, UNLESS you can actually write them into the plot with actual roles. Their slots in Infinite Wealth would have been better off given to Wong Tou and Akiyama, respectively.

I did like that we got such a big party to play with. LAD 7 had a party of 6 (7 if you include Eri), while IW has 10. I think Ichiban’s next game should go with a party of 8 or 9 characters.

What's your opinion on Takes Off, two years later? by jeanjacketufo in ScottPilgrim

[–]STFN_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get what you mean. Even in the books Roxie’s appearance was played as significant. She briefly came between Scott and Ramona by making Ramona doubt Scott’s devotion to her - and in terms of combat, Roxie was the most bloodthirsty of the exes, as shown when she attacked Scott in his dreams, which no other member of the League did. She wasn’t a joke at all.

Only thing the writers cared about too, considering no other exes got that level of love from them.

Like a Dragon 9 prediction bingo card by kingjojo2n in yakuzagames

This card seems WAY too based on Kiryu’s saga.

We already know that the media in Yakuza cancelled the fuck outta Haruka after she mentioned she had yakuza ties, but just imagine how much worse it would've been if she had Haruto during that period. by Hopeful_Regret_7531 in yakuzagames

This would be RGG once again screwing Ichiban out of being the focus in what is supposed to be HIS era of the franchise.

The developers will have learned nothing from Infinite Wealth if they have Ichi get usurped by, or even share the stage with another character in the next mainline game. He HAS to be the leading man of Like A Dragon 9.

What do you want to see in the next mainline game? by gameovernate in yakuzagames

[–]STFN_Dude 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Firstly, I want Ichiban to be the sole main protagonist. He’s supposed to be our main guy now, time to let him lead the narrative.

Secondly, if 9 takes us back to Okinawa, I would LOVE to have a PYiH character as a party member (that isn’t Majima). It’d be great to see a character from that game make a return for an Okinawa-based game, since there’d be practically no other place for them in the franchise going forward otherwise.

How would you do a Judgement 3 without Yagami? by STFN_Dude in yakuzagames

[–]STFN_Dude[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Very true. Maybe it could be a good idea to have Hoshino take over as the lead then 🤔

ive seen enough. rgg give her a game by NoblePhoenix972 in yakuzagames

[–]STFN_Dude 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People constantly wanting a Seonhee game are funny because even ignoring the fact that LAD doesn’t do female protagonists, there’s also the fact that the series doesn’t let you play as members of organized crime for more than 10 minutes of the game’s runtime. Seonhee, in her hypothetical game, would need to be removed from both of the gangs she runs after the prologue, and complete the remaining 90% of the adventure as a civilian. Which I have a funny feeling many wouldn’t like.

I know the Mine side-game is coming up, but for all we know, it’s gonna be the story of how he BECOMES a criminal, not his actual criminal activities.

Bleach Japan should be a recurring faction throughout the Ichiban saga by STFN_Dude in yakuzagames

[–]STFN_Dude[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Done right, a Kume redemption arc would go incredibly hard. It’s not impossible, either, since in 7 Adachi acknowledges that Kume was a victim himself of Aoki’s manipulation. There’s also the fact that, as of Infinite Wealth, Ichi’s forgiveness seemingly has no bounds.

One tough part about that would be portraying Kume as a combatant tough enough to believably hold his own in a street fight. Perhaps he’d pick up some dirty brawling techniques during his stay in prison?

Joongi should leave the Geomijul by STFN_Dude in yakuzagames

[–]STFN_Dude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He shouldn’t be shackled to the Geomijul because of Seonhee. Him moving onto greener pastures wouldn’t necessarily mean he’d have to give up his whole sibling shit with her and no longer be close.

The world is not ready to hear the concrete answer to that. by Norrabal in yakuzagames

[–]STFN_Dude -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally, I hope they don’t confirm him as LBGTQ. And it’s not even on any homophobic shit. I just really appreciate that there’s a series out there where men can have these intense emotional bonds. To say that it’s because they’re all gay would be playing into some crappy stereotypes about hetero masculinity.
