Kiryu's probably leftish or gets there by the end. most other characters are probably rightish/full on righ t
I saw people insisting that Yakuza 7 was conservative because the political party is named liberal, yeah supporting illegal immigrants and sex workers is such a conservative view
/s
uhhhh did you play the game?
Yes. Ichiban supported sex workers and illegal immigrants.
What?

Not the American ULTRA FAR RIGHT that the U.S Republicans have devolved into
/s
the party you are talking about did not.
They're saying people were calling Ichiban conservative because he's against the "liberal" political party.
Does Kiryu ever learn that he is not indebted to shambling institutions? I was really annoyed by the premise of Kiwami 2 and never finished it

Also yes, All the protagonists would be left wing
The Yakuza are linked with some shadowy ultranationalists groups though, driving around loudspeaker vans broadcasting anti-immigrant shit.
looks like we'll have to consult The ChartOh my god, this is one of the stupidest fucking things I've ever seen.

looks like we'll have to consult The ChartLol is that FFVII Remake on the Left Wing side and original PS1 FFVII on the Right Wing side?
Lol is that FFVII Remake on the Left Wing side and original PS1 FFVII on the Right Wing side?I suppose in fairness, Remake does have an obviously queer man say trans rights whereas the original one has Cloud get molested by gay men.

This is actually a tricky discussion. From moment to moment, going through the motivations of the protagonist, one would think it's pretty politically left. Personal freedoms, living true to oneself, helping the weak or minorities, not bowing to authority.I think it just trends in a moderate way. There are things that are left, and things that are right for the entire series, more like how reality is in general. I like it. It makes the world they've built far more believable.
That said, the series as a whole does have a few right-wing elements. The most clear one is that Kiryu continues to believe in the yakuza as a system, which is very authoritarian. Furthermore, plenty of times in the series the police or government will be established as a good system in a modern society for maintaining order. Also some games have a scary amount of anti-foreigner themes baked into their plots.
Really it's a case of who's holding the pen at any given moment, but it does trend left.
Yakuza is the kind of game where a substory would be about a Trump supporter and the message would be to humanize him and make him a sympathetic figure. Both sidesBeating up a right winger is absolutely not both sides.

More often than not, the politics are left-leaning, particularly in the context of being set in Japan, a relatively socially conservative country compared to the US.

I do remember some parts particularly sticking out for Kiryu in some of the quests.
Also this is getting nitpicky, but "trending moderate" doesn't really make sense to me.
