Meus amigos, que jogo INCRÍVEL.

Antes de começar a jogar LAD Gaiden, recomendo a todos que joguem todos os jogos anteriores da franquia: Yakuza 0 até o 6 para conhecer a construção do incrível personagem que Kiryu é, e também o Yakuza: Like a Dragon, pois ambos os jogos se passam no mesmo momento e o Gaiden vai dar spoilers do que aconteceu no jogo anterior.

Sendo um jogo direto ao ponto, com narrativa perfeitamente coerente, trilha sonora envolvente e combates cinematográficos (com cutscenes bem elaboradas e qualidade gráfica altíssima - o jogo está MUITO bem otimizado), LAD Gaiden oferece ao player uma experiência sensacional envolvendo qualidade de produção, side-quests divertidas, personagens carismáticos e o retorno do sistema action de combate, tornando as lutas mais emocionantes.

Foi um jogo com platina bem fácil de conquistar e joguei até o final com aquele gostinho de ''quero mais'', mesmo sabendo que a cada capítulo estaria mais próximo do encerramento da história de uma lenda. É o jogo mais curto da franquia, confesso que jogaria mais uns 10 capítulos (se seguissem o padrão dos outros jogos). Vale ressaltar que a tradução dos diálogos em PT-BR está muito boa, também.

Comprem na promoção e apreciem essa obra de arte.

This game is the like a dragon that happens between the end of 6 and the middle of 7. To fully understand and attach to Kiryu, some other characters in the game and the story, I recommend you to play Yakuza 0-6 in order first, then come back and buy this game after you finish.

Like basically every Yakuza game, it has very good story development and it really does a very good job immersing into the game world and it's characters.

One of the most notable feature in the game is the ability to change kiryu clothes in game (in the previous games u could only do it with mods or in premium adventure after you finish the game)

Even though the game is quite short (only 5 chapters compared to around 15 chapters in previous games), it felt complete and it acts as a very good bridge besides Yakuza 6 and LAD. However, side content (aka Akame requests if you plan to get to max level) takes pretty long, and all the other activities are pretty fun and re playable. The combat system is new and is also fun to use and play with.

Also congrats to Kson for getting into the game and being an in game hostess, i know how much you simp for kiryu-chan.

In karoake, the song "tonight"'s cinematic is also finally animated instead of just being static images in Kiwami, Kiwami 2 and 6.

why doesn't joryu just call kiryu for help? is he stupid?

Great game, mechanics, visual, music, and the same captivating storytelling RGG studio has gotten us used to.
The only complain I have is that it's a lot shorter than other RGG games. And it made me realize how much I missed Kiryu and will miss him once the torch is passed to Ichiban.
Make sure to get your tissues at hand for the final part :').

I loved it!

Ion know who this Joryu guy is, but I bet he would get along well with Kiryu

While this game doesn't have my favorite combat of the series. it does have the best version of the dragon of dojima style of the new dragon engine games(still prefer the 0 engine dragon style tho). Agent style is a nice gimmick but it's a bit jank for my taste, punches just feel sloppy in agent style. The heat actions are as amazing as always. The music is what you suspect from RGG, absolutely superb. sub stories are also fun in this entry, some noteworthy are the AI one and the ghost one which i found both to be pretty funny. But where this game really shines is the final act. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ THE FINAL ACT GOES HARD. If you want just a bit more of kiryu this entry is really good for that, classic kiryu in a little bit of a shorter game, while also fleshing some stuff out of Lad:7.

Great story, side quests and minigames.
100% achievements on Normal difficulty was relatively quick.
So glad mahjong was not a requirement for 100% achievement.

This is how the protagonist should be portrayed in their own story. I kept questioning why they didn't describe how Kiryu went to meet Ichiban and what happened to him, even though enjoyed playing Yakuza7. But now I have no doubts about it and am ready to move on to the next step with belief in whatever will happen. Such a well-made stories for him.

Man this Joryu guy is fun. Why aren't they making an entire series of games or something out of him? That would be amazing.
