Ok, I'll put my purchase off for a year or so and see auf they'll release a (physical) complete edition. Capcom did the same thing with SF5.
Same for me, after the DLC reveal I dediced to wait until next year. I hope we'll get a goty edition

My first thought is "please god no" because I'm thinking of the US. Somewhere in China/Hong Kong/Taiwan/South Korea/etc would be cool, but I just worry they might use that as a launching pad to justify games taking place in the west longer term. I can already imagine the "Who cares if this game takes place in Los Angeles? Yakuza has already had plenty of games outside of Japan already lol" arguments online and it's triggering meView attachment 12713
During the roundtable interview, Hosokawa-san talks about the studio’s future, and how it hopes to continue with worldwide launches for future titles while possible exploring games in the Yakuza series that leave Japan behind, taking characters to new countries with new locations to explore, battles to fight, and mysteries to uncover. Much like Tales of Arise, Japan is now looking towards the wider world with a solid understanding of why its games are so appealing.

I mean ... mhhh ... maybe? Like Taiwan, South Korea or like japanese countryside settings etc ok.
Ichiban visits Los Angeles or New York - eh, no thanks.
The thing that got me interested in the series in the first place,
was because the setting was not the US or the EU.
I dont need game number #489.385 taking place in New York or London etc. Please no.
While I agree with your statement as we have franchises like Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, Assassins Creed, Far Cry, LA Noire, Call of Duty, Siphon Filter, any Tom Clancy title, etc, I would be fine if a Ryu Ga Gotoku title took place in Hawaii. After all, the real-life Yakuza do have a base of operations for their illegal activities there so it would make sense. But anything further than that, I am in complete agreement with you.View attachment 12713

I managed to pre-order the game here in the states.Is the game not available to pre-order on PSN?
I have a physical copy ordered at my lockdown is going here in Australia, part of me was thinking just to buy it digitally on PSN. But I noticed there is no pre-order available on the PSN right now?
are they not doing pre-orders on PSN for it?
Weird...on the Australian PSN Page for it, it just has "recently announced" but no Pre Order tab.I managed to pre-order the game here in the states.
I dont know how it works over there but i read that Lost Judgment received a R18 rating in Australia,Weird...on the Australian PSN Page for it, it just has "recently announced" but no Pre Order tab.
Unless they aren't doing pre-orders for it on the Australian PSN?
I rang my local EB and they guaranteed that even if the store isn't open due to lockdown that they will still do Pay and Collect. Which to me might as well just say "well, open the store then!"
Lockdowns be weird!
I dont know how it works over there but i read that Lost Judgment received a R18 rating in Australia,
maybe there is no pre order for R18 games or something like that?
Thats what i read, that they had to raise the age rating from 15+ (Judgment) to R18.Really? It got an R Rating over here? I've been on total media black out for it and didn't realise it got an R Rating over here.
Still, that doesn't make sense...I mean Yakuza 7 also go an R rating last year and I pre-ordered that from the PSN last year before release...Intriguing.
Judgment is more apt to be the "Spiritual Successor to Shenmue" than Yakuza is. I like all 3 franchises. But the investigation segments in Judgment definitely gives me stronger Shenmue vibes than Yakuza ever did.I will say that after playing about 3 hours of Judgment that I get a Shenmue feel but with more action. A lot more action. I guess it helps that the main character seems to be fully trained up. lol.
