I will say this, heat actions work differently in the remake. They do a significant amount of damage to bosses even the same one done twice. However, bosses can and will try to break out of them and counter. This will trigger a QuickTime event. If you hit it, the heat action lands, miss and no damage is done and your heat is not refunded. In fact, it might be you that takes a lot of damage.
The bosses trying to counter your heat actions happened in the original as well, though maybe only a few bosses, they might have added it to other bosses in remake.
I played all of the games multiple times so I'd say I have a pretty good grasp of the combat system but this video was still pretty interesting to watch. Good work Leon. ISHIN HYPE
11:53 I've been a Yakuza fan for over 2 years and played all of the games but I never ever knew about this. It always frustrated me and made me wish I could disable heat actions when I'd accidentally perform one. Thank you Devilleon
Sosuke Komaki mentions it in passing near the beginning of 5, but I don't think it's mentioned anywhere else. Maybe if you dig deep in the gameplay tips section, but RGG loves not telling you basic information about their games
Great guide man. Getting this game over the weekend. Also it's a shame they didn't get you as a guest for one of those battle cards. You deserve it way more then the other people and AI they have on it. Keep up the great work.
lets try not to be rude to the other people leon has said many times while he apprecates the support it shouldent be at the cost of being rude to the others plus it only makes sense to give the spots to people who love yakuza but arent known for solely yakuza content so it brings in more people
Think you should of mentioned the fact the heat bar can be filled multiple times as the UI makes it seem you can only fill the one bar use a heat action then redo the process. Something I thought for a while when playing. Dunno if I explained it properly but I hope you kinda get what I mean. In short you can save heat up to about 3 or 2 heat actions worth of heat but the only indicator is the Japanese writing in this case.
@@henrytownshend6441 There is only one flaw, not enough big magazine, only 6 bullets in each, so I have to go full Saejima style with 6 revolvers and then waste 10 minutes of my life reloading each and every one.
im glad ishin gcomes out now in the west hope the same for kenzan i got every yakuza game im a big fan of the series since years. ty leon for the guids and love in the videos :)
Do you think you could make a video on how to do some of the more finnicky heat actions “Grim waking” for instance cannot get it to activate Same for these supposed one you need to charge then press heavy again before the aforementioned charge attack lands These are in the swordplay style btw
Hey Leon! Thanks for the video. Been a fan of the games and you for years. Finally got the game and got a little nibble of it before I had to go to bed for work. Can’t wait to crack into it this weekend
Lock on isn't listed in the controls. It's listed as "fighting stance" so thank you. I was trying to remember the usual Yakuza controls and I had only guessed RB
I’ve been playing through the entire series for the past 9 months, and I haven’t even started LAD7. I just finished Yakuza 6 yesterday, and now Im playing this game. It’s certainly a breathe of fresh air, and takes place during one of my favorite time periods, so I haven’t felt the burnout. This game couldn’t have come out at a better time, and Im so hooked on this combat.
The "Pewpewpew!" was the best part of the video. Just kidding. Great video. I am one of those people who know about the fighting system, beat the original, and just wanted to watch this to see your opinion and content. Great video!
I hope everyone understands that if Leon didn't make these they wouldn't exist on any other channels especially not with some badass soundtracks so thanks man
good guide. Also, with heat QTEs, do you do different heat actions whenever you do the different inputs? i saw a thumbstick twist and a triangle in a heat action, so would doing thumbstick twist instead of triangle do something new?
Let's call those "Input Chains." Not an official term, but at least we got something to call it Input Chains appear in a number of Heat Actions, and change how they end. For example in the one you mentioned, missing the QTE will make Ryoma finish with a third slash. If you do the right stick spin Input Chain, Ryoma will instead finish off with a spinning diving slash. And if you do the triangle Input Chain, if I remember right, would be Ryoma stabbing and throwing the enemy to end them. There are also others that feature only one Input Chain, such as the "frontal grab on wall" HA. We can call those "extendables" while the one we discussed earlier are "choosables." (Then there are some that just have a triangle input and doesn't do anything. Still, hit those, they count towards the style rank if I remember right.)
I still can't believe Ishin is coming out in English. It feels like I'm dreaming if I'm being honest Happy birthday btw! Hope you're having a great day!
I just started playing this game, and I'd like to know if there is any place I can practice moves? It seems like I can't even take my sword out, unless I'm in combat and only being able to practice moves vs enemies just isn't very efficient. Also is there an easier way to keep your health topped off than constantly buying food that seems expensive?
Now that I have my hands on it, the only thing I still cannot figure out is this one "Rush Combo Tempest" skill for sword. I think I am doing it right? Feedback on the timing to know if I am hitting strong attack just before I hit is a little unclear. I think it just makes enemies get hit harder on what is otherwise a normal rush combo end?
What are the differences in the remake compared to the original's combat? I feel the remake is faster but then again, I played the original in 2015 so hard to remember exactly.
Should I play this game if I've only played 0, kiwami, and judgment? I know that this game will have a lot of "ancestors" of characters from the series. I'm worried that a lot of the references and jokes will go over my head.
Thorough guide, but only die hard Yakuza fans could enjoy these dog water mechanics. I would rather fat roll fight Lord Nito with Caestus than put up with Ishin garbage.
Such a disappointment this game has no realistic gore. No beheading, dismemberment, or limbs coming off. Really takes me out of a sword game when you don't even so much as see a cut on an enemy.
The hype is real. We are so close to release!
When is it release?

You know the qte part for bosses was litteraly in the og ishin aswell lol, it's nothing new

Me too 😂
Wow. That's a way to stop me from spamming light attacks. Thanks devilleon!
I didn’t know until Yakuza 5 lol
This trick doesn't work for Yakuza 3 and 4 btw.
Damn, a tutorial video so soon?
The hype keeps increasing!
I appreciate seeing the basics. Cause even a sharpened blade goes dull without continual use. And im looking forward to ishin
Am I crazy I feel like the heat never builds up

Great timing with the supposed combat demo coming out today, let's go !
Please never stop making content. Love you man
Can't wait for Ishin!!!! Thanks leon for the guide
can't wait to see kiryu (DLC skin) with a gun and a katana
I'm definitely looking forward to LAD: Isshin, I'm a fan of the Yakuza (previously called) series.
Thanks yet again Leon can't wait for the 17th 🙏 Love your combat guides

Already pre ordered the deluxe edition can’t wait for Friday

that was always a thing in the other games tho....what are you on
@@TheJbrown60 yeah but i didn’t know about it ma boy
Thank you Devillion for this guide. I will make sure to forget everything

You should make an early build video for newcomers
combat looks very good, my game will arrive today, i am excited for timed parry and blocks and sword play
i am one of the people that chimed in just for the company, even tho i knew most of the things you talked about! i really enjoy this style of content
Yes….GUN!! Where’s Joker when you need him!?
even though i know all this stuff i still enjoyed this vid, so hyped for release!

The "Pewpewpew!" was the best part of the video.
Just kidding. Great video. I am one of those people who know about the fighting system, beat the original, and just wanted to watch this to see your opinion and content. Great video!
really helpful. thanks!
Yeeeees Sensei Leon, enlighten me with your wisdom on the arts of the blade ⚔️
great breakdown! thanks!
I can't wait to see how the gameplay goes on the Unreal Engine!
Im just so hyped for this game i just gotta watch this. Even if I played all the yakuza/LAD games
Nice preorder coming sooon
I hope everyone understands that if Leon didn't make these they wouldn't exist on any other channels especially not with some badass soundtracks so thanks man
its been a while since one of these!
Thanks for the guide, Devilleon
One day im so ready ! Lets gooooo
Thank you so much, I waited long time for this
Happy Birthday, Leon!
Thank you so much!
I need that shirt lol. This is helpful cause I'm struggling with the game cause like you said it's weird compared to other games
Suggestion to make a pinned comment of discovery from yourself from any additional notes from hands-on with Ishin Kiwami.
I'm hooked

@@NinjaWarotMCph i have the game, and figured out parts of this, but thank you for the additional info.
I'm playing it now on legend mode
Thx! Really helpful. btw if you can make the deeper combat system guide on remake ver., it would be awsome!
Damn it's been a while since you've done one.
I still can't believe Ishin is coming out in English. It feels like I'm dreaming if I'm being honest
Happy birthday btw! Hope you're having a great day!
Thank you naramei, hope you've been doing well, it's been a while :)
Yo that shirt is sick, where did you get it?

SOOOOOO EXCITED
I already unlocked dragonfang flash but cant do it. I already follow the instruction but it does nothing. Can somebody explain how to do it properly?

Feedback on the timing to know if I am hitting strong attack just before I hit is a little unclear. I think it just makes enemies get hit harder on what is otherwise a normal rush combo end?
Nice shirt Leon 👍
Epic gun game
I wonder if the heat button icon will be on upper right screen not in the middle like recent Yakuza games ?
Where did you get the shirt omg!!!
Gotta wait till the 21st 💢
Here for the company.
Any tips how to deal with odachi users?
any idea if the hostess aka geisha from the original game is back
I think they are
Do we know if the bosses having superpowers is an optional thing?
We don't yet, still waiting to see how that works exactly
What are the differences in the remake compared to the original's combat? I feel the remake is faster but then again, I played the original in 2015 so hard to remember exactly.

Can someone confirm if we disable the card mumbo jumbo magic stuff, do the bosses also not use it?
Lets gooo boys
Im' still not locking on to targets, do you hold R1? or just hit it once?
You have to face an enemy first and then you hold R1 and it should work :)
I hope that Sega will collab with u
nice
Is the demo out????
Don't think so
hype hype hype
Basically the best style is the American one.
