I own all nine games and have played less than half of them. That's where I'm at.

I started off with Yakuza 0, but I dropped when it came to trying ro beat outrun for some side quest stuff. Really pissed me off.
Then I bought Yakuza 7 and loved it. I think I enjoy rpgs more so I was able to relate better, but it did make me want to go back into my backlog and finish yakuza 0.

Looks great, been hoping they’d bring that game here. There’s a Yakuza Summit tomorrow and it’s looking like the Judgment games may actually be getting PC releases after all. Hoping for announcement of Yakuza 8.

A longer trailer for ISHIN!
A side-game, Like A Dragon Gaiden, focusing on Kiryu after he faked his death in Y6:
And the main course......Like A Dragon 8, still a turn-based RPG, but now with Ichi and Kiryu leading their own parties!
Also, from here on out, the series will be called Like A Dragon as it would be in Japan.

Sega made a promo for the RGG Summit from influencers and famous fans. And one of them was Kenny Omega.

Also, for those curious if the series used the LAD name and the subtitles for the Japanese games from the start, they would have been:
Like A Dragon Like A Dragon 2 Like A Dragon 3 Like A Dragon 4: The Successor to the Legend Like A Dragon 5: Fulfiller of Dreams Like A Dragon 0: The Promised Land Like A Dragon 6: The Song of Life Like A Dragon 7: The Whereabouts of Light and Darkness
I don't believe 8's subtitle has been said yet.

I was wondering what Yakuza: Like a Dragon was called in Japan. I don't think it would've been Like a Dragon: Like a Dragon. Glad they're making the Ryuu ga Gotoku/Like a Dragon name the universal name for the series now. Yakuza always felt a bit generic for the kind of games they are.

Yakuza works as a grabbing name tho but now that they got some success they can brand it properly and know the fan base will follow here in the West

I need to get back to Yakuza 7.
I put it off because it's turn-based RPG gameplay, got it because it was free last month on PlayStation Plus, but don't have the motivation to play it, the turn-based RPG gameplay is a sticking point for me.
Is the forthcoming Kiryu game an RPG like 7, or a return to the previous Yakuza/Judgment games?

I actually liked the Yakuza brand name. I personally saw no real reason to change it.
Unless the actual Yakuza threatened someone at Sega, maybe. Something like what happened with Tajiri in WWE where he didn't want to piss them off. Okay I kinda get that.

A buddy just recently got me into the Yakuza series and I’ve been having a great time with Like a Dragon.

I don't believe they showed Ryoma's mentor, Toyo Yoshida, in the trailer, but since Unsho Ishizuka is now dead, I'm sure they'll change the character's original appearance of Shintaro Kazama to someone else. He's dead as well, but I believe you also meant Tetsuya Watari, no?
