[Bjoern the Smexy]

Is this going to take place in Kamurocho in 1977?!?

 

[Desmond]

lol he was born in a Soapland jesus


He was born in 1977 guys

 

[Soar]

OH SHIT. 1977. ^yup...

 

[TheRazielim]

Nah, it's just his background story narration. Ichiban was born in 1977 i think .

 

[papertoonz]

is that baby kiryu

edit: never mind it isn't

 

[matrix-cat]

Yeah, this is just Ichiban's backstory.

 

[lucebuce12]

He's FORTY?

Kiryu is 50.

 

[IrishNinja]

FUCK WHY DID I CLOSE THE STREAM
LATE 70S SHIT YEAH

 

[AzureSkies]

HOLY SHIT

I'M HYPED.

I HOPE AKIYAMA SHOWS UP

 

[8bit]

Has Ichiban appeared in the background of any previous games? That hair is pretty distinctive.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

lol he was born in a Soapland jesus


He was born in 1977 guys

Awww, hype deflated just a tiny little bit

 

[Desmond]

YAKUZA GAME IN THE LATE 70S?!
PLEASE TELL IT IS SO
PLEASE!

Ichiban was born in 1977!!

Not the date of the game haha

 

[IrishNinja]

yeah this isn't a yakuza game in the late 70s youse bunch of liars

also we better see this as a yakuza comic on sega's site at some point, those have been fun

 

[dreamfall]

Art style looks great. The best were the Black Panther cut scenes, I hope that fan translation happens one day.

 

[AzureSkies]

yeah this isn't a yakuza game in the late 70s youse bunch of liars

I was hyped over a 70s Yakuza game, I was kinda letdown after realizing it was a modern game but then the hair pulled me back in

 

[TheRazielim]

He's FORTY?

Kiryu is 50.

Kind of disappointing, wish they had gone for someone in their 20s.

 

[IrishNinja]

Kind of disappointing, wish they had gone for someone in their 20s.

come back, shinadaaaaaaa

 

[lucebuce12]

come back, Tanimurraaaaaaa

 

[Kain-Nosgoth]

eeeeh, are you sure shin yakuza and yakuza online are separate? That was ichiban bakc story but it cuts to yakuza online title

 

[AzureSkies]

come back, shinadaaaaaaa

The hero we deserve

 

[Kalor]

eeeeh, are you sure shin yakuza and yakuza online are separate? That was ichiban bakc story but it cuts to yakuza online title

Ichiban is also in Yakuza Online

 

[lucebuce12]

one is a console game, one is a mobile game I really don't know any more than that.

Hopefully someone who speaks Japanese can clarify.

 

[Tizoc]

Ichiban was born in 1977!!

Not the date of the game haha

Yeah I saw, but it would be neat to have a Ryu ga Gotoku game set during that period :3

 

[Desmond]

iOS, Android and PC confirmed.

 

[Rymuth]

Sounds like Ichiban owes his life to this Tojo Lt, Arakawa.

I'm unclear who had his finger cut off, Arakawa or Ichiban...if it was the former, I can see Ichiban being basically a copy of Kiryu with his hero worship to his old man.

 

[BBboy20]

Hey, PC!

 

[dreamfall]

PC! Ayyyyoooo

 

[delSai]

Yakuza finally on PC

 

[Jimrpg]

LOL PC.

 

[Tizoc]

iOS, Android and PC confirmed.

PC browser game most likely.

 

[AzureSkies]

PC browser game most likely.

time to be letdown

oh well.

It's a shame too, as I feel that the series could do great on Steam.

 

[Kain-Nosgoth]
