Oh wait ISHIN IS A PROPER REMAKE.

Spotted during the trailer, additional actors that weren't in the original:

Kuze, Awano, Shibusawa, Joon-gi Han, probably others I'm missing.

They brought out Ozawa, Takeuchi, and Nakano, the actors for the 3 Tojo lieutenants from 0 who are all being worked into the remake of Ishin.

Oh shit I see Awano and Kuze on stage

Also saw Zhao from Y7.

Right now it's mostly "Oh famous actors what's it like to work on a video game and go to the office" blah blah blah.

Somebody spotted Masato Arakawa as well.

Oh and the JP version of the remake is called "Ishin Kiwami", so I guess that's official lol.

Wtf kiryu lmao

Okay, very barely got a taste of RGG8.

It's coming out in 2024 (still a ways away). We saw Kamurocho, and we saw Ichiban and Kiryu walking up.

Kiryu has a very odd hairstyle, it's now grayed and combed over the front. Looks so weird.

Looks like Ichiban and Kiryu are going to be dual protagonists for 8.

Will kiryu also be turn based? That's awesome

So the translators are doing their best keeping up, but it seeeeeems like the game will be entirely turn-based?

EDIT: Yeah seems that's the case. Also Kiryu will have his own party.

Oh Damn. I hope they have it with a dual system, but if not I hope they bring back judgment somehow.

Third and final announcement: A Like a Dragon Gaiden "The Man Who Erased HIs Name", starring Kiryu. Coming out in 2023.

It takes place in 2018 and apparently is dealing with Kiryu shortly after the events of Yakuza 6, but before 7. He's living as a monk in a temple and is also doing certain "work" for a suit fella.

That's fuckin crazy so wait he's gonna be in his own game and also 8?
WHOA ACTION FUCK YEAH

Gaiden will l be only half as big as a Normal yakuza huh that's OK.

I wanted it to focus on just Ichiban. Kiryus story is over.

Part of me is this, but also part of me doesn't like 6 and how it wrapped him up.
