I just finished it about 2 hours ago, one of my favorite games in recent years. Ichiban, probably up there in my favorite video game characters all time. Such a good game. I actually miss it already lol
@@LaMuerteBlanca yh LIKE A DRAGON made me a fan of the Yakuza series and i am so hyped to play the Rest of the yakuza games now and hopefully by the time i done that there is a new one out
same, finished the game like an hour ago and what a ride it was. Kasuga has become one of my favorite characters In gaming with this amazing story. Can't wait to dive into the whole Yakuza saga.
@@davidpemberton3880 Appreciate the feedback. Yakuza 0 is currently up if you haven't checked that one out and I'm currently replaying kiwami to catch all the funny details in that one.
@@LaMuerteBlancaI have a question bro, I’ve actually never played one of these games but I finally ordered it from Amazon and it will be here Monday, should I watch this first to catch up before I play it!
@@chuck176 id recommend it. The game offers a brief recap and flashbacks but it helps to be more informed. Infinite wealth draws alot from the last game, atleast in the beginning.
I’m three years late to this… But since I’m playing infinite wealth, I wanted to catch up. Most importantly, I wanted to show my girlfriend so she could have an idea of what was going on. I cannot tell you how ABSOLUTELY IMPRESSED AND ENTERTAINED WE BOTH WERE. Amazing job. She knows nothing of Yakuza games, but she says your review was one of the best UA-cam videos she has ever seen. Seriously, I agree.
Great vid I just finished the entire yakuza series and wanted to see what people thought about how great of a journey it was... you did not disappoint Thank you
Thanks for the recap. I got busy and couldn’t play the game for like 2 months so I needed a way to remember some of the more complicated stuff in the later half.
@@samfire3067 the way.. Arakawa treated Ichiban was very good hints on he knew. Sometimes it felt like he cared more about Ichiban then he did Aoki at times.
Y7 feels like a rewrite of Y1 if Nishiki climbed from rock bottom and working his way to become the dragon. Sure elements are changed like Mastao didn't have any dragon on his back instead had Tendo to represent for him to show Ichis accesion from the Koi fish that nishiki had. They even got a jingu(Horunouchi) in there lol.
Love the recap, but i think it's important to mention this is a party/turn based rpg which plays differently than the rest if the Yakuza games and should have said that Adachi, Nanba and all of them are party members
2 hours into Infinite Wealth I realized I didn't remember what happened in this game. Paused it and knew this channel would have me covered right quick.
There are so few recaps of this game on YT and most of the others are very poor. This is the good one! Entertaining and informative and hit all the main plot points. Thanks so much for this!
got to chapter 9 with this game until i hit the difficulty spike and gave up as i didnt want to grind. this was helpful as i got this game free through ps plus
Funny stuff, but it definitely helped that I played most of the game, just got tired before the Dragon fight. In any case, this summed things up again for me and definitely helped. Thanks!
My favorite part of this was growing Ichiban confections, like for real taking it from this small shop to the #1 company in a skyscraper was awesome. Also the fact that you can hire people from other character stories is super cool. Also it’s your personal piggy bank giving you millions of yen.
This is a very good recap for me b4 playing Infinite Wealth. It has been so long I've played Yakuza 7 that I kinda forgot of the story a lil bit. Yakuza Gaiden manage to make me remember some of it, but yes maybe cuz the story so full of plot twist and everything at every turn and a bit more complicated that the usual Yakuza that I kinda forgot. When watching this recap again, I noticed how good Yakuza 7 story was and how much fun I had playing em. Now playing Infinite Wealth and loving it. Hope it serve more great story like Yakuza 7.
i feel a tiny bit sorry for people who played LAD first, the very second i saw that damn steel-toe boot appear, i know for sure that i lost my mind, whilst first-timers would have probably been like "yeah these guys look kinda cool"
Came here to recap cause it's been a while since I played the game. Just got infinite wealth on a black Friday sale and watched this as it installed on my series s. Great commentary, found myself laughing at some of the stuff you said such as 28:11 definitely something I need to learn to do.
Had goosebumps towards the end of the video, a fantastic story! Sadly I didn't finish the game, as you metioned, it was quite a slow burn in the first half and the trun-based combat wasn't for me, plus the whole homeless angle didn't sit well with me as I was near homeless several times, but the game looks great and thanks for the video to save me the time and effort. I'm also grateful that RGG >still< pumps out new games and keeps the quality bar high, we've been truly blessed as gamers and fans of the franchise.
Couldn't make it to the end before it got removed from the PS+ and had to catch up with the story for YOU KNOW WHAT REASON. Thanks for the video, i still feel like i've missed some intense moments here.
this is an older video now but man it's a great one, i've played 0-6 and loved them, really wanted to like this game as well but personally couldn't get down with the turn based combat. however i still wanted to know what happened in the story so this sums it up really well for me
I gotta say; even though I have played this game multiple times, I wanted to watch this after seeing all the rest of your prior videos to get your take on the story. 🎉
I played this game and skipped all the story , I loved the gameplay so much that I had no ideas what I was working towards for. This was my first yakuza game, I’m here for the story because I wanna play infinite wealth
Thanks for the recap. After redoing this (15:55) mission over and over, I realized this game is too difficult and too frustrating for me and I'm just wasting my time but the story is so good I HAVE TO know what happens next. So yeah this video is very helpful and thanks again lol. I hope other Yakuza games are less difficult. Im a noob I guess 🙃
I dont think it's because youre a noob. This game had a massive difficulty spike out of no where. Caught me off guard too. Hopefully they correct that with infinite wealth.
@@Trophy-Hubby420 infinite wealth definitely did better with managing the difficulty, but i also did all the side content and was over leveled half the game 😅
I’m about 30 hours into Infinite Wealth but I came back to this video to remind me of the story of 7 because I kept feeling like 7 had a way better story, and so far it did. The opening of 7 and the early chapters are way more interesting. I’m hoping the late game chapters will make up for it, everything else though is so much better in 8.
Thank you for the summary! I got stuck at the Majima fight and didn't want to grind more to beat them 😭 Some very interesting plot twists at the end there!
I played Yakuza kwami 2, because I had free time but with Yakuza like a dragon and every future Yakuza game I'll be busy "WE ALL GOTTA WORK IN THE END", but thanks a lot You've saved me a lot of hours man.
Yes! I just played it since its one of the 3 free games you get on PS+ lol I was so suprised about the game and combat its like a mix of persona 5 and ff12 IMO
Doesn't Arakawa say that he intended to kill Ichi with that shot and that essentially the whole game up to that point was Ichi being super lucky essentially?
@@LaMuerteBlanca while I like the story that detail makes the story actually problematic because a huge part of Ichiban’s arc is his loyalty to Arakawa which is already insanely high despite all the betrayals he went through. It’s not like the story punishes Ichiban for his faith in Arakawa outside of the first arc of the game, so to find out Arakawa may or may not have intended to kill Ichi really muddles the story imo
Thanks for the video. I played all the Yakuza games and I really wanted to give this one a chance too even though I can't for the life of me get into turn based games. I barely went through with the turn based combat that I hated because the story and the characters were amazing, but the grind wall on chapter 12 made me call it quits. Your explanation helped me acquire the rest of the story, so thanks! I'll be waiting on your video on Infinite Wealth when that comes out 😁
I'll never ever forgive Zhao for making me think Yagami was gonna show up to team up with Ichi and Kiryu. Boss man immediately dropped to my least favorite character when the realization that he wasn't gonna deliver hit me. In Infinite Wealth, I mean. I couldn't have been the only one upset
Just watched this before Infinite Wealth dropped so thanks. I'll play the game at a later time because it does look, with all the sidequests etc, but i'd rather not just speed run it to only know the story so this helped a lot
Someone gets whacked and another dude is asked to take the fall, what could possibly go wrong?! Just ask Kiryu, his buddy killed a big time Yakuza capo and good ole Kiryu voluntarily takes the fall, he gets out of the slammer and a major cavalcade of plots and conspiracies are unleashed involving a missing woman and billions of dollars, a little girl who’s dragged in the chaotic BS of the Yakuza who quadruple cross one another just to get the number one spot.

thank you for this, im working towards the platinum trophy but have been skipping cutscenes as i get burnt out with alot of cutscenes so this was really useful so i can still know the story without having to sit through hours of cutscenes
I got a few hours into this game and loved it till I got sidetracked with other game releases. Now I have time to play Infinite Wealth and this video did a fantastic job catching me up. Now I just need to beat The Man Who Erased His Name.
Is this like a chapter by chapter review without spoiling future content because I played like until chapter 11 but forgot some of the details It would be nice if you put in timeframes because I just kinda want a recap
25:13 Okay, why the hell leave your child in a goddamn locker? Because if you may or may not lnow back then [Dunno if it's still there or stopped] the unwanted children that you can't take care of or afford were put in lockers, so it was a habit not some random weirdass thing that they thought of
If you explore the lore in this game, you learn theres this whole story about how joon gi han in 6 had a body double. Some things happened and body double, this joon gi, took on the persona...or atleast it's something to that effect. Been a min since i played either game.
I know the initial comment in the video is for humor, but As for Ichi missing all versions of XBox, it’s not like the Japanese gave a shit about XBox anyway. The first one was an abysmal failure, the 360 was discontinued in Japan on 2009, and the One’s launch failed to the point that all unsold consoles should’ve been buried in a Fukushima nuclear plant in the same way ET for Atari was buried in the New Mexico desert. Most video game stores for the 18 of the last 23 years I’ve been in Japan either don’t have an Xbox section, or it’s about as small as a standard mirror plus cabinet. So of Ichi was missing XBox in Japan, he wasn’t missing much
@@HajimeNoJMo its all good. Now that you mention it, ive heard that before. I was just always an xbox kid and didnt think to do the japanese perspective even though ichi lives in japan. 😅
@@LaMuerteBlanca I was a Sega and Nintendo kid, but leans towards Sony as an adult. Plus, I lived in Japan my entire adult life which is why I lean towards PlayStation.
@@HajimeNoJMo makes sense. I was sega and playstation until my brother broke my PS1. Dad got me a n64 then xbox. Rode the xbox train until i built my first pc about 5 years ago.
Happy to help. A lot of people dont like it and i understand why. I personally dont mind too much since ive always been into the older rpgs that had turn based combat.
Thanks for the video. I absolutely loved the Yakuza series until this game. But this game threw me off with the grindy nature. I don't mind the transition to turn based. However, the incredible amount of fluff fights make it unbearable to me. Thanks to your video, I'm at least not missing out on a good story.
Just finished infinite wealth and id say its up there for one of the best RGG games for sure. Hard for me to say it's better than 0 but im also a lil biased.
Using this as a refresher before Infinite Wealth! Thanks so much.
Same. I forgot how good the story is
This story actually slaps
man it's hard to find a yakuza LAD story discussion on youtube lol, thanks for your vid.

That's my goal. I want to do it for the whole series and even other games. Time has been my biggest enemy lately. Stay tuned!

The word "thank you" is not enough Big respect for you
"Thank you" is more than enough. Glad you found it helpful. :)
I love how it's hinted that arakawa knows ichiban is his son. It's a subtle moment among many that make this story awesome
Wait what.
@@samfire3067 the way.. Arakawa treated Ichiban was very good hints on he knew. Sometimes it felt like he cared more about Ichiban then he did Aoki at times.
Thanks for this bro, I needed to brush up before infinite wealth came out. Also I like how you spoke about it 😂funny and to the point
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Couldn't find anyone doing a spoiler review, i wanted to hear someone else explain it and i found your commentary quite entertaining, +1sub
Appreciate you! Thanks for the feedback.
This game is a fucking masterpiece.
the whole series is bruh
Y7 feels like a rewrite of Y1 if Nishiki climbed from rock bottom and working his way to become the dragon.

They even got a jingu(Horunouchi) in there lol.
That's an interesting take. Haven't heard that before but it does make sense. 🤔
Along with the fact Nishiki and Ichiban have the same voice actor.
So it's similar to another game if that other game was completely different?
Love the recap, but i think it's important to mention this is a party/turn based rpg which plays differently than the rest if the Yakuza games and should have said that Adachi, Nanba and all of them are party members
Thank you, it's the perfect reminder to start on the newest entry of the game. Nice way of explaining everything btw
Thank you! Hope you enjoy infinite wealth!
2 hours into Infinite Wealth I realized I didn't remember what happened in this game. Paused it and knew this channel would have me covered right quick.
Your commentary is so legendary man, like a DRAGON!

Here before Infinite Wealth so I can recap and catch up! Glad you posted this man!
Glad you watched it 😅👍
I'm going to listen to this while at work as a nice little refresher before Infinite Wealth :) I loved this game.
1:30 my guy wanted some chinese food but got the american style

One of the best games I've ever played, everything was 10/10 imo.

Thanks I needed a chapter 1 thru 5 recap.
U legend. I needed this lol thx
Got you fam

A new one is coming out name is yakuza gaiden
I'm at the part at the warehouse now trying to escape and this is the longest fucking sequence of fights ever. Just let me out!
why tf would you watch a story recap while being in the beginning of the game??

Thanks for checking it out. Glad you enjoyed it
amazing recap of the story! great job! love your story telling and enthusiasm
Thank you! Glad you enjoy it.
I watched this while downloading Infinite Wealth and it was just what I needed to remember the story! (Last time I played like a dragon was 2020)
You're gonna get a lot of views on this video in the next week or so. Well deserved too, great recap brotha!
I appreciate you fam. Glad you liked it.

Playing through the game myself. Taking my time but once im done, dont worry. I gotchu!
Thank you for the summary! I got stuck at the Majima fight and didn't want to grind more to beat them 😭 Some very interesting plot twists at the end there!
Majima fight was tough. Took me awhile myself.
Majima whooped my ass the first time 😂 Easiest way to beat him is grinding in Sotenboro Battle Arena till youre at least lvl 45

I played Yakuza kwami 2, because I had free time but with Yakuza like a dragon and every future Yakuza game I'll be busy "WE ALL GOTTA WORK IN THE END", but thanks a lot You've saved me a lot of hours man.
Yes! I just played it since its one of the 3 free games you get on PS+ lol
I was so suprised about the game and combat its like a mix of persona 5 and ff12 IMO
This was my first yakuza game and I loved evey second im excited to go back play the others
If you liked this. Youll love the others.
Thanks for all of these great summaries!
No, thank you! You are far too generous.
Doesn't Arakawa say that he intended to kill Ichi with that shot and that essentially the whole game up to that point was Ichi being super lucky essentially?
What he says and what he intends might be two different things. It's implied but we don't know for sure. Big reason why this story is soooo good.
@@LaMuerteBlanca while I like the story that detail makes the story actually problematic because a huge part of Ichiban’s arc is his loyalty to Arakawa which is already insanely high despite all the betrayals he went through.

For sure. Definitely a game to savor and take your time.
One thin i hated about this game was the end like kume stabs someone and just walks away like what…..
My theory is he'll play a part in LaD2 but who knows.
Someone gets whacked and another dude is asked to take the fall, what could possibly go wrong?! Just ask Kiryu, his buddy killed a big time Yakuza capo and good ole Kiryu voluntarily takes the fall, he gets out of the slammer and a major cavalcade of plots and conspiracies are unleashed involving a missing woman and billions of dollars, a little girl who’s dragged in the chaotic BS of the Yakuza who quadruple cross one another just to get the number one spot.
Welp, given ichi is kiryu's successor, get ready for another 6 games of collusion and fuckery as ichi tries to get away from it all. 😅

If you explore the lore in this game, you learn theres this whole story about how joon gi han in 6 had a body double. Some things happened and body double, this joon gi, took on the persona...or atleast it's something to that effect. Been a min since i played either game.
Glad I Watched this as a refresher b4 playing infinite wealth
Glooks. Needed this since I’m done with the series due to the turn based direction it’s going. Those types of games aren’t for me
I know the initial comment in the video is for humor, but As for Ichi missing all versions of XBox, it’s not like the Japanese gave a shit about XBox anyway. The first one was an abysmal failure, the 360 was discontinued in Japan on 2009, and the One’s launch failed to the point that all unsold consoles should’ve been buried in a Fukushima nuclear plant in the same way ET for Atari was buried in the New Mexico desert.
Most video game stores for the 18 of the last 23 years I’ve been in Japan either don’t have an Xbox section, or it’s about as small as a standard mirror plus cabinet. So of Ichi was missing XBox in Japan, he wasn’t missing much
Fair...guess i should have said playstation 🤷♂️
@@LaMuerteBlanca from a Japanese perspective lol. I was 95% messing with you and 5% educating you on that particular comment lol
@@HajimeNoJMo its all good. Now that you mention it, ive heard that before. I was just always an xbox kid and didnt think to do the japanese perspective even though ichi lives in japan. 😅
@@LaMuerteBlanca I was a Sega and Nintendo kid, but leans towards Sony as an adult. Plus, I lived in Japan my entire adult life which is why I lean towards PlayStation.
@@HajimeNoJMo makes sense. I was sega and playstation until my brother broke my PS1. Dad got me a n64 then xbox. Rode the xbox train until i built my first pc about 5 years ago.
You did a great job telling the story. I love it! F*ck yeah!
Thank you so much!
Your storytelling is godly lmao
Thank you
I low key regret watching this now because the story does sound quite good but I got gifted infinite wealth and need to know what’s going on
I'm gutted they have gone turn based love Yakuza but the south park sot esque turn based system isnt for me. Thanks for the breakdown!
Happy to help. A lot of people dont like it and i understand why. I personally dont mind too much since ive always been into the older rpgs that had turn based combat.
Thanks for the video. I absolutely loved the Yakuza series until this game. But this game threw me off with the grindy nature. I don't mind the transition to turn based. However, the incredible amount of fluff fights make it unbearable to me.
Thanks to your video, I'm at least not missing out on a good story.
I got you fam! Ill also do all the future yakuza games too so stay tuned if you can't stand the new combat system.
Complete Swiss cheeses them 🧀😂😂😂😂😂love the comedic softening of horrific shit we gamers would never do 😆
I cant believe i played yakuza 8 before 7... it would have been so much better if i played this one first
Ayyy this is a perfect vid 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Does they explain why the gouverner use a VGA cable (Ancient by 360 time) for his screen?
Played this game twice. Last time was 6 months ago but just watched because infinite wealth will be released in 1 hour!!!
Enjoy Infinite Wealth!
I will eventually get to Yakuza 7 and 8, which hopefully will have as good a story as Zero.
Just finished infinite wealth and id say its up there for one of the best RGG games for sure. Hard for me to say it's better than 0 but im also a lil biased.
Bros hair is fire, grows like black hair if course yall call it wild
