It's Yakuza. And a JRPG.

It's RGG first attempt at an JRPG. It's execution could greatly improve but, for what it is it's an incredible transition to the real time combat of the Yakuza series to basically an JRPG through and trough.

A lot of interactivity between combats too. Kind of like the Mario's RPG. Hit an attack at the right time to hit even harder, it never gets old.

It has the good things from Yakuza like the silly activities, the serious crime story. The Job System which is basically a class system it's very good too, giving more depth to this game.

As someone that likes both Yakuza and JRPG it's a very good title. But it has some caveats, the possition where you hit the attacks it's important and the characters move around automatically while on combat. It leads to some hilarious moments and some frustrating ones. Specially Street Battles. Oh and the ending is weird and a bit anticlimatic? I was like: "Uh, sure. That happened".

Ichiban as a character is just amazing man. Like a big buff manchild but with a heart of gold. I still think Kiryu is better though, but we'll have to see in the next game.

In short, it's a great game.
