Everything NEW In Like a Dragon Gaiden

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 พ.ย. 2023
- I had to cut the original ending to the video so you can find it here: • Thanks, Square Enix
There's A LOT of new stuff in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, especially if you're someone who's missed out on the games Kiryu isn't a part of (AKA the best games in the series). Whether you're new to the franchise, a series veteran, or you stumbled upon this video by accident, I'm here to show you all the cool and interesting things in this game.
SOUNDTRACK IS OUT APPARENTLY: open.spotify.com/album/0Ut5nt...
Except there were two things I forgot to mention. When you get knocked onto the ground in this game, it's like in Like a Dragon Ishin where you can instantly stand back up, but you do still have to tap a button, unlike in Ishin where it can do it automatically. Your gadgets are also super powered basically in Extreme Heat, so your light attack one instantly explodes and your drones just all get summoned at once.
Also no story spoilers but the latest part of the story that I show footage of is just a bit beyond when you first get to the Castle so I haven't even shown stuff that was in trailers and whatever. Also there's no context or audio and I tried to omit subtitles yadda yadda you're welcome.

Haha wouldn't it be crazy if Square Enix claimed the entire video for a one minute section at the end of the video hahaha that would be crazy anyway here was the original ending to the video that had to get cut: th-cam.com/video/oAVOYQfxMtg/w-d-xo.html
And here was the original pinned comment
You've done it again, Snowy. Broken another video length record in mere weeks. And what a tremendous video to break that record with! This video has showed me so many new and interesting things with the newest game, Gaiden. This is incredibly well put together and I feel would be a great video to share with my friends, especially the ones who haven't picked up any of the recent RGG Studio titles but are looking into playing Gaiden, or even someone who might not be able to play the game. And to think you made ALL of this and the game hasn't even been out for 2 days! Thank you again for another incredible video, Snowy. I hope you reach 30k soon!
how the fuck do you swap account s on youtube for fukc sake
@@SnowiestAngemanyou don’t :(
Snowy, what a man you are.
man noticing that chihiro aoki composed im fading away blew up my mind
the only man I know who can suck his own dick
Turns out this Joryu guy is really similar to Kiryu. I wonder if they've met
similar name, what if he's kiryu from another dimension?!!??!?!?!?!?
Nah Joryu's the Joji to Shintaro's Kiryu. He's even An Agent maybe that's the plot twist.
What about Taichi Suzuki? He was also pretty epic.
@@youtubewanderer3347You mean the legendary taxi driver? Yeah, I wonder what he would think about Joryu
You think he can make a grilled cheese?
Eric yakuza: "yipes! I have to use my Lost Judgment to figure out a path that ishin dangerous! Just 'Like a Dragon' i could use my Infinite Wealth to gain some Gaiden-ce!"
That’s kurohyou-azy
Kiwami means ‘Extreme’
@@Supermariosupervideothat's news to Kiwa-me!
My killing urges have gone from homicidal to youcidal.
Of the end, this is true.
Honestly, Gaiden sits on the top tier list of RGG games for me. It's so much fun and the story is great
Just so you know Gaiden's OST is fully available on Spotify aside from like 2 songs which are around 4-6 seconds long each (no idea why they're not available though). They seem to be more keen to share the music on release which makes me very happy.
Bruh why couldn't they have done this with literally every other game
I am not 100% sure on this but then not having songs that are 4-6 seconds long might actually be a Spotify thing (potentially places like Apple Music too) where they cannot add songs beneath a certain length of time. Again, not 100% sure but I suspect that could be why.
@@Hezzadude12 Oh that would make sense, every other song is completely fine
kiwami 2
Fuck yeah we fading away with one bois
Can't believe they're diageticly showing kiryu getting old by making his combo speed in yakuza style that of an old decrepit man
Also the new cabaret minigame might be the scariest thing in any rgg game tbh
God I hated that. Its so SLOW.
@@Plasmy271it’s not even that bad lmao
@@UndyingHatred_I agree. The girls did their job well. I play the cabaret in small doses from time to time. There's much to do at the Castle coliseum.
@@Grimoire7887 I was talking about Yakuza/DoD's combo speed slow. Not the cabaret.
Full honesty I'm just irked its speed isn't what it used to be. But I guess the Agent Style already serves as the "Fast Evasive" fighting style. So they turned DE DoD to be slower and stronger.
@@Plasmy271I don't know. From my playthrough so far, it seems that Oryu style is better to use against single bosses (unless if there are other goons around them), but not because of the combos, but because of the quickstep attacks, which can be done after a roll dodge too. This is perfect since the roll is far enough to avoid enemy attacks, but not too far that the quickstep attack would miss.
Its worth noting that all of the content in the game is now completely in game. no more in engine pre rendered cutscenes. This was probably done due to the different versions of customizable Kiryu outfits.
Apparently they accidentally left the ENTIRE soundtrack in for the Yakuza 8 demo. Robert Ga Gotoku at it again
Wait, for real?
One thing about the lighting, this game looks SO GOOD in HDR. Those highlights, the neon lights in the castle, all that stuff really pops. And I was on an OLED as well, so the blacks came through very nicely too. Great stuff.
Yeah legit HDR in this game is so good. I'm glad that they implemented it and that the implementation is as good as it is
The lack of a conversation log is a true tragedy
The man who forgot his phone in the changing room
It's also worth noting that how mortal reversal were called ultimate counter in gaiden, as if enemy's full power attack only hurts kiryu a little bit, but for normal ppl like yagami the attack is deadly
Lol wut? They removed the permanent damage in lost judgement
@@cabechek yeah but what does it have to do with what i said
@@cabechek yeah but the point he was making is they still call them MORTAL attacks and MORTAL reversals even in lost judgment, implying the attacks are more deadly for someone like yagami

That's quite the description lol thank you. Except it's the Like a Dragon series bro geez come on
chatgpt is to blame there lol@@SnowiestAngeman
Renowned for his unwavering belief

@@JameBond007.foiled by Ai again
NEW NPC MODELS? WE DON'T HAVE TO BEAT UP THE SAME 5 DUDES ANYMORE? HELL YEAH.
First game where you can play as the LEGEND that is GARY BUSTER HOLMESSSS !!!
As a Kson fan it's such a delight seeing her in here after following her journey in the competitions.
Girl has always loved Yakuza, and it makes me smile seeing her here.
Can't wait till we see her as a party member in Infinite.
Who?
@@italianfoodname534 the woman with the glasses in the cabaret club.
Really love these Gaiden title gags. "In Tekken I'm a Jin Main" For some reason really got me the most.
Man finally you uploaded a video, I’ve been waiting for days ever since I’ve been seeing videos of gaiden in TH-cam early
3:10 if you fully upgrade the drones the limit is removed for drones during on your heat mode
Gaiden is def top 3 for me. Lost judgement being the first, yakuza 0, then gaiden
I love the music names in the corner, makes it so easy to search something I heard that I like fromthese vids
Kaito, the titular character of 'Lost Judgment: The Kaito Files, appears in the game along with Higashi, albeit in a substory. No Yagami though, I think the only mention of him is the acknowledgement of the Yagami Detective Agecy.
I was so excited to test Higashi in the arena, my dissapointment couldn't have been bigger, who thought it was a good idea to give him a KNIFE MOVESET? The man is made for air juggles like he did in Judgment!! At least i play on PC so i know modders will fix this, but my heart goes out to others looking to finally play as him and he has this abomination of a moveset.
@@kestler5447koshimizu moveset
@@kestler5447 But to be fair, Higashi is one of the broken fighters in the game because of that.
Knife means lol blocks
Healer means infinite heals.
Saejima level 20 actually fucks tho
why does everyone piss on lost paradise honestly they fact they still had Dyral's contact info after 15 years was a flex
if I had a nickel for everytime RGG left the whole OST of the next game in a demo, I'd have two which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
What was the first one?
@@patatayt1919 Yakuza 6. Except it wasn't just the OST it was THE COMPLETE GAME.
@@mat8791 What? You could play the full game in the demo?
@@mateusmatzensan They basically upped the whole game, just locked as a demo.
@@mateusmatzensan Correct. Although it was for the 1.0 version of the American Demo if I recall correctly. The "locks" that were to stop you from going further did not work. And so you literally could play the whole game. For Yakuza 8 however the locks are in. But it seems like they didn't care or forgot about the game files.
Another solid video Snowiest but please stop showing up to my house unannounced asking me to smash the bell button
Go ahead and SMASH that like button and click the bell and SUBSCRIBE
I kinda wish they would consider including more differing styles of fighting, than what we have. Like Jiu Jitsu, Capoeira, Gaoh, esc. Stuff like that, be it with other characters, or the Kiryu himself. I would totally love to see more varied fighting and such
9:55 to give Kiryu cancer and replenish health, and one bar of heat if you have upgrade.
Joryu gaiden 008 is my favorite yakuza character next to suzuki and john yakuzer.
A close second is of course kazuma kiryu, but the best yakuza character no debate is the cat in the sotenbori intro cutscene in chapter 2.
you cannot change my mind.
Universally Based Bro
you have amazing music taste
You have amazing video taste ;)
besides the great video your music taste is on point every video!!
Does anyone else think Kiryu's head looks gigantic in some of the pictures they use in the upgrades menu? Look at the attack upgrade specifically
I don't know about that, but I noticed Kiryu's jaw is a bit weirder in Gaiden (Could just be me). He kinda looks like Corey Feldman when he smiles which is weird
Holy shit, I just looked now and I see it LMAO
I think it might be the same thing as yutube thumbnail editing, where the editors blow up facial proportions of youtubers faces in thumbnails so they look a bit better as a smaller image. Idk the full logic behind it but p sure you can find a video on the topic somewhere.
Great video, but one thing to note is smoking is one of the best ways to gain heat out of combat early and mid game. Provided you had cigs you could spam through X or A (whatever your confirm button is) and get max heat super quick
Like A Dragon: Gaiden - The Man Who Got Nuclear Weapons
Awesome video. Loved the end 😅
9:38 the dodge attack is still busted in kiwami 2. it combos into itself infinitely. though you need certain upgrades first
“Why does kaito evaporate” is my favorite sentence
I am on School rn i cant wait to go home and play gaiden, i dindt even sleep tonight playing gaiden
Just for your knowledge. Darryl was not actually informed about making of 8 and Gaiden whatsoever. He confirmed that it cought him by surprise.
Giving kiryu the ability to smoke is for story building purposes; now it makes sense he has cancer in the next game
bruh what 💀
Bruh he has always smoked in every game before this one minus ishin, he has been smoking since his early 20s and maybe even earlier, its no surprise he would get cancer at some point
Can you talk about fighting style themes in the next video (for Yakuza music). Because "Bring It On" for the Yakuza style is a breath of fresh air. One of the best fighting style themes ever.
Thank you for the fun and enjoyable video. 🐉🎉
Love the content bro
Awesome video Snow curious if they'll add NG+or legend difficulty soonish?
My problem with YongYea being Kiryu's new va is... He's not a good voice actor... His voice also does not fit Kiryu at all. It's not a big deal cause I never use the English voice overs but I wanted to complain.
He is terrible, those karaoke songs are beyond painful.
@@franciscor390 Jesus, I hadn't heard his karaoke singing yet. It's worse than I thought lmao.
He IS a good voice actor. His character in JoJo was really well acted. You may not think he's a good fit for kiryu, but Yongyea has been voice acting far longer than he's been on TH-cam. Knock his kiryu performance all you want, but as soon as you start to blame the man himself and claim he has no talent, you lose all validity in my eyes.
@@aussieseal9979 I don't care what you think
@@novemberguy7087 well, you replied 😊
Love your videos, you should cover more games.
Three little things:
- The feaure from Lost Judgement that makes dropped items fly to where you are instead of having to manually pick them up is back.
- I somehow got a little window with a video explaining me how to Taunt while i was in the middle of a fight. I think that's new
- Kiryu has some new soundbites now, you can hear them for example when he goes to a restaurant or when he picks up a locker key. They kinda clash with the old Y6 ones because in the new ones he sounds a lot more... soft spoken i guess?
dont worry, i'll be like the only guy to notice the fact you synced your "dayum" with the intro at 17:50, very clean
I wonder if your gonna do a full retrospective of Gaiden after probabaly either a month so that everyone takes in the story into their minds or till you finish the game?
Missed opportunity in this game is Kiryu having a parry in Agent style and maybe just maybe having special heat actions or movesets with a pistol(with rubber bullets of course), and tonfa.
I also miss the back grabs from previous Yakuza games which is absent here but anyways other than that, this game is fire.
Love your collection 😂
Hi Snowy! you've done it again! Banger of a video, I'm in the middle of the video where you talk about new character models they added. It seems like they hired a bunch more actors to face model for minor characters (e.g. the guy you mentioned that looked cursed is actually Katsuya Hideto, which fun fact is a costar of Takuya Kimura [Yagami] in the Japanese drama hit, Hero). I know they've been doing this for years now but they hired so many for new models, that I could name a handful of actors that was familiar!
Against unarmed enemies Daigo is actually pretty good because his ability still registers blocks and since he heals instantly you can heal and instantly block if anyone tries to hit you
Now THAT is the kind of ending I like seeing. Final Fantasy XVI my beloved.
Based video though King. Definitely agree that the game’s combat overall is more akin to Judgment (with still a fair few things from Lost Judgment), but I’m still having an absolute blast with it so far. RGG definitely undersold how much shit is in this game - it’s great.
I just finished the game yesterday, and that ending was gut-wrenching! The longer it went on for, the more I cried! It felt like it was an hour long! Well worth the purchase! Also, the coliseum is one of my favorite minigames ever! The fact that you can play as anyone you recruit is such a cool feature!
I think yakuza style is called that is because for the game kiryu is an agent, and since he really can’t be called kiryu cause of the storyline i guess they called it yakuza style cause it’s a more street style of combat and since the dragon of dojima is “dead” they didn’t wanna use the combat version title. That’s my opinion 🤷🏻♂️😂
I could have missed it but you forgot to mention the lack of the conversation log that was introduced in LJ
You are correct and it legit only occurred to me today that it doesn't have one lol
Love the cape caem in the background
You forgot to mention that agent style in extreme heat allows you to summon infinite drones with the only limit being your heat bar, and throw giant mega bombs
first time watching your videos and i apperiacte how you put the bgm as it shows up in the video as a musican i apperiacte it so much also i agree that ff16 boss music was so epic T_T
This game is amazing
So much fun and perfect
I also love the game ost
Nice work as usual Snow. Just be ready for a lot of heat when you get around to Infinite Wealth's demo and the English dub.
This is a video about Like a Dragon Gaiden (mostly) but I have to say this: Japanese OST Industry is such an inspiration to me, mostly because I love listening to OSTs than other genres of music, to the point I, not most of the times, recognize the composer of the OST by listening to it (when it's from a different series, game or whatever) like Hiroyuki Sawano and when I listen to his music outside Attack on Titan, I recognize the instruments he uses, beats, etc. Final Fantasy is such an amazing OST fest too, I loved FF7R (first time I got to play any FF game, even though I'm thinking of playing X someday because it looks like it's going to be able to make me cry), Yakuza OSTs are mostly amazing and I sometimes like to put the fight themes on when I go to the gym, they're such bangers. With all this said, Japanese OSTs mostly never miss for me and give me such an inspiration and they can show you the feelings it has, sadness, anger, happiness, like the songs itselves have some sort of life in it. By the way, it's not that I dislike western OST creators, I love some of them but there's not alot that I can go on, but I can talk about Gustavo Santaolla (that's his name???) from The Last of Us, beautiful guitar play, John Paesano (I think this is his name too???) from Insomniac's Spider-Man, Kevin Penkin is a really good composer as well.
I'm still waiting for a PC port of FF16 because the OSTs sounded so good too, and the story looked intriguing as well, I'd like to play it some day
A fellow video game ost enjoyer glad to see people still enjoy game music
11/10 vid as always!!!
I love the spinning move😢
Great job!
smoking gives half a heat bar its pretty good now
You omitted the fact that ex-heat changes how your gadgets behave, especially the cigarette and drones
4:08 You can also tell this is the LAD map because yokohama 99 isn't there, you can't visit but you see where it would be
Bro the combat in this game is so crazy
I'm thinking about buying this game today - it looks very fun
I can't play this game until Cyric makes his guide to tell me where all the locker keys are and to cheat through the cabaret stuff.
So was this another unfortunate case where you wrote and recorded the script for this right before the OST got released?
Cause the song at 27:00 is "Don't Be Rushed" by your good old mainsqueeze 83key, although he's credited as Yasaki this time.
Yeah well I have literally only just discovered that the OST even got released 'cause I've been off social media and just saw a comment here haha
@@SnowiestAngeman Yeah, that's understandable. I was digging around the internet a while to learn of the OST's double release date.
snowy. will you make a video on all of the new composers for gaiden? there's a LOT of them and some old ones aren't even credited (i.e. Hidenori Shoji)
20:54 i was wondering if something like that is why there were so many typos in the text in the game. every game usually had one or two but in this game it was ridiculous. makes me feel sorry for the localization team.
Yeah there certainly were a lot more errors than usual but it's much more understandable this time. Highly doubt they would've had much time for proof reading
Ending is based af
Thank you for this
I lost my mind when Shun Oguri (Gokusen, Crows Zero) was in Yakuza 6 but now we got Kson too! I'm kinda hyped. She got me into gunpla.
Something else, that I'm almost certain is new, is that subtitles disappear when you pause, meaning that if you're a slow reader, or have to tab out frequently you may miss important dialouge in cutscenes.
Absolute Chad for not putting story spoilers.
(Unlike some "OTHER" TH-camrs out there...)
Easy answer to 4:10 is that construction workers are just really fast and fickle in the LaD universe
wait there is a charged light attack ???? on YAKUZA STYLE ??
I played 9 hours without knowing ...
Yakuza style is just K2 style specifically, but nerfed to some degree.
83Key doing its magic again. blessed that man
the sephiroth part killed me
Yay, another video from my second favorite Australian.
If Steve Irwin isn't your favourite then I dunno what to say
@@SnowiestAngeman He's a Global Treasure that will remain cherished for years to come.
What about Mick Dundee?
The entire yakuza/LAD series is in gampass, just wanted to remind everyone of this. In case y’all are new.
It’s how I got into the series, so I consider this important.
Turns out this was a Final Fantasy 16 video all along.
In all seriousness though, God of War Ragnarok, FF 16, RE4 Remake, and Like a Dragon Gaiden (and Ishin) have been some of the most fun AAA (maybe AA) games I've played in quite a long time.
They're all amazing breaks from the constant spew of newly released AAA multiplayer games as well as updates for existing AAA multiplayer games. Not to say multiplayer games are bad, they're great if you have friends to play them with, they just get annoying and a bit boring after a while is all.
27:30 please find a way... they're both my favorite OSTs this year 😭
With 0-6 and Like a Dragon, I thought I was getting somewhere with this series, only for them to release 2 more games in the series and I still need both Judgement games. I need them to take a year off.
Im just sad that after the amazing combat of lost judgment they just threw it out the window and went with judgments gameplay. Im desperately hoping they do a patch where they add some kind of hidden arts, a parry, faster style switching and copy the mashing heavy attack in ex heat. Oh and restore the visual flare that counters had (they were pretty cool in LJ)
Random but kinda related question, so what do you think of the Tekken 8 soundtrack so far? And how does it stack up to this game's OST? (and by extension the LAD8 battle themes from the demo)
Tbh I think RGG makes better Tekken music than Tekken themselves 😅
Can the temple area be visited during certain missions only or is it part of the open world?
Hey snowy you might not really care but what do you think of yongyea’s performance as kiryu?
Rocket boots made me LOL
The graphics in like a dragon gaiden are amazing
10:13 Extreme heat mode was introduced in yakuza 5
But strangly enough it wasn't in 0 or k1 not sure about ishin as I haven't played it yet
0 had no extreme heat equivalent.
Kiwami however had temporary stat boosts that you could sacrifice your heat for. Be it for speed (Rush), Damage (Beast), Knockdown immunity (Brawler), "infinite" Heat (Dragon).
My fave aussie is back at it again!
he's like a dragon
Gaiden
... man, the end of the video sure hits a little differently when my wife and I fell off of FFXVI pretty hard during the third act, but we devoured LAD: Gaiden in like... a week? Maybe two?
One thing I don't like in this game is how the heavy finisher does not track downed enemies 😢
