(In both directions... some people ignoring it because they assumed it would be GTA-like, other people buying it assuming that and then being like, "Why are there so many cutscenes? Why can't I attack random people? What do you mean I don't get a car?")Samantha Lienhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050896759185927270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-90203773226738990602022-09-19T21:16:45.005-04:002022-09-19T21:16:45.005-04:00I'm one of the people who thought Yakuza would...I'm one of the people who thought <i>Yakuza</i> would be a niche lower-budget Japanese <i>Grand Theft Auto</i>.

Everyone's gotten used to it no longer being Dragon Warrior.<br /><br />I wonder if they're trying to get away from the confusion of what the series is like. Too many people look at a game called "Yakuza" and assume you'll be playing a yakuza doing yakuza things. It also makes sense that they might want to avoid that name for Ishin, since it has nothing to do with yakuza at all.<br /><br />My main criticism is that they dropped the number from 7 for the localized title. If the order went Yakuza 6, Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon, Like a Dragon 8, that would be less confusing to people. 7's localized title of Yakuza: Like a Dragon was already causing confusion, and now it's worse.<br /><br />(At least it's not a Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons situation, where another company has the rights to the original localized title and starts making their own games under it.)Samantha Lienhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050896759185927270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-30447962522358390182022-09-18T17:33:12.808-04:002022-09-18T17:33:12.808-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Samantha Lienhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050896759185927270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-16681797712241092952022-09-17T10:41:28.946-04:002022-09-17T10:41:28.946-04:00Can I be upset that it's no longer going to be...Can I be upset that it's no longer going to be called <i>Yakuza</i>?
