I have a feeling it's also gonna hurt since he has amnesia. Let's not forget he failed to save his brother, lost his eye, was tortured for a solid year, was trapped in Sotenbori for even longer, was used by everyone, lost the women he loved, AND THAT'S JUST ZERO. This game could be the ultimate evolution to Majima's character and him accepting his life as of now.
Yeah his story in zero was crazy. Can't believe he went through all of that. Glad he's getting embraced now to have a full game! Will be worth the wait I'm sure.
Yeah looks amazing! Combat alone especially with the addition of Aerial Combat has made me go INSANE Im all for Like A Dragon/Yakuza exploring/taking different directions and trying out new things, as well as not being too afraid to be silly and wacky but also balanced with emotional depth.
I'm gonna be so disappointed if there's no NG+ My least favorite thing about Gaiden was it's lack of NG+, I don't even care if I have to pay for it, just please let there be NG+ in this game
Omg this is amazing, hahaha. I love the pirate theme, especially with myself being a big One Piece fan. I really need to get into this franchise, and should seriously consider in doing so!
I love the games and the direction they’re heading but it kinda bums me out we’re probably not getting a more serious crime drama type story 😔 I love infinite wealth so much and the entire time I played it all I could tell myself was “this is definitely my favorite yakuza game” but then when I was done I just couldn’t see myself putting it above 0. 0 just had that certain feeling plus you could literally put anyone you know on to it
I understand. 0 is my top Yakuza game. Honestly no other game in the series made me feel like that game did. However Judgment & Lost Judgement definitely capture the magic of crime drama 100%. But yakuza 0.. man.. that’s one special game I wish I could experience again!
@@skinnyyoungjiggy4471 lost judgement felt more like a filler highschool detective story sorry 😭 og judgement was peak tho it definitely brought that feeling back but it was newer
I can agree with that. I'll buy any of these games day 1 but I love the older style Yakuza combat more than the turn based stuff. Just fits the game better IMO.
I don't want to add another 30-50+ hour long game to my backlog, but I might like to watch a cutscenes video for the story. Edit: I love your reference to Wind Waker!
2 things 1 this is a gaiden game ans 2 this is a year after 8 your litterally cleaning up ichibans failures like a dragon gaiden? More like make ichiban look useless gaiden
English title is so ass, Just Pirates in Hawaii sounds way better, other than that Madlantis is basically castle from gaiden, and my very stupid theory is that kiryu actually died so Majima like jumped off the cliff or something like that, or no
Yeah the english title is a bit too long but I'm not fussed really. And yeah, great comparison to the castle from Gaiden, I did think that. We may also see something from Kiryu in this game - maybe his fate or a teaser of his fate? We'll see.

What are you most excited for with this game? 🏴☠️
Will this be the weirdest yakuza game? I sure hope so. Majima deserves nothing less.
Realest comment on this video. The weirder the better for him - in a good way!! 🤣🤣

Yeah this game is looking great! Happy these guys are taking risks and doing some weird stuff because it works for me!
This definitely will be awesome!
Excited to play more of this series
So many games to love!
I'm gonna be so disappointed if there's no NG+
My least favorite thing about Gaiden was it's lack of NG+, I don't even care if I have to pay for it, just please let there be NG+ in this game
It seems like it'll probably be the normal length of a Yakuza game, and not shorter like Gaiden, so maybe my wishes'll be answered.
Yeah I’m hoping for a normal length game. At least 20 hours of story. Gaiden was great but super short!!
That's crazy. Gaiden only needed NG+ to be perfect & I don't think paying for NG+ should be a normal thing 😂
@@Cryptico7 I don't think it should either, bit I'm willing to pay for it if I have to
DEAD SOULS IS A BEAUTIFUL GAME. AND SEEING PIRSTE MAJIMA AGAIN IS JUST WONDERFUL!!! (also im screaming because im estatic)
Yes! I'm actually booting up my PS3 to play dead souls right now 🤣
@@ErekLadd Awesome!!! Hope you have a great time gaming!!
Honestly, I’m just excited about MAJIMA! Anything Majima = amazingness in my books!
Great video Erek! Looks like it might be a great game to play on the Switch 2! Thanks for your great content. :)
Hopefully comes to switch 2!! I think if it’s as powerful as it’s rumored to be we should get all of the yakuza games!
@@ErekLadd I agree!
Majima as a Pirate is the perfect role for him I can imagine him trying to kidnap Kiryu.
Omg this is amazing, hahaha. I love the pirate theme, especially with myself being a big One Piece fan. I really need to get into this franchise, and should seriously consider in doing so!
I feel like I read somewhere that this was a bit one piece inspired? Could be wrong. But looks fun regardless!
@ErekLadd Masayoshi Yokoyama, who is the current head of RGG Studios, said in a interview that he was inspired by One Piece while writing Yakuza 7
As someone who has played this franchise since 2008 I cannot bring myself to believe we actually have a solo majima game coming
I can imagine! I'm a bit spoiled since this is all new to me more or less but I'm really excited to have a solo Majima adventure!
Goro Majima, my most favourite video game character ever. Finally getting centre stage. I can't wait, yo ho ho ☠️
I'd say yes.
Considering we will still have amazing combat, music and something as insane and befitting of majima as him becoming a pirate.
They fear what this game can become, only a trailer and it always has them shaken,
I’m really looking forward to playing this, already per ordered my copy. They did say at the RGG summit that this is not a spin off.
3:10 This guy is played by the baddie from Tokyo Vice on HBO Max.
Man i Game for 30 Years and never played a Yakuza Game until last Year! Holy shit they are so good.
I wanna play this! 😂 Looks insane
It’s going to be fun that’s for sure!

have you played Judgment and Lost Judgment? they definitely still have the serious crime drama feel. the stories and the combat is amazing
@@skinnyyoungjiggy4471 lost judgement felt more like a filler highschool detective story sorry 😭 og judgement was peak tho it definitely brought that feeling back but it was newer
A yakuza game with air combos
Game of the year 2025
Nah, Dead Souls probably still takes the title of weirdest Yakuza game.
True!
Not being turnbased makes me wanna buy it day 1.
I can agree with that. I'll buy any of these games day 1 but I love the older style Yakuza combat more than the turn based stuff. Just fits the game better IMO.

Fair enough!!!

This dude really said if this will be the weirdest yakuza game 😂… he must forgot yakuza 0 or dead souls.
But I get what you are saying
English title is so ass, Just Pirates in Hawaii sounds way better, other than that Madlantis is basically castle from gaiden, and my very stupid theory is that kiryu actually died so Majima like jumped off the cliff or something like that, or no
