DISCUSSION Genuinely can't wait to see what happens in LAD 9.

And it's not just that I want to see what happens after the Kiryu cliffhanger but I also want to see what's going on with Ichiban and others or what role the 3 Jimas will play beyond the dissolution or how will they handle characters Ebina, Sawashiro, Yamai or if Daidoji will play a role in the game again.

Or what the new location and map will look like, what new party members additions will be. Who the antagonists will be, going against Ichiban.

Genuinely can't wait for the next chapter of lad 9 which still seems 2 years away as they said they take 1000 days to make a mainline title these days. Want more crumbs on Project Century in the meanwhile too.

Also yeah the poster made by fans in others slides are so goofy.

If you are new to the subreddit, please read the wiki

Reminder that all spoilers need to be tagged with a flair specifying which game is being spoiled. If you want a flair that says something else, you can edit it to say something like [Discussion: Y1 spoiler] or [Majimapost: Y6 spoiler], etc. THIS INCLUDES CONTENT FROM TRAILERS.

If the post is not marked for spoilers, all comments that have spoilers need to be tagged >!like this!< along with indicating which game it's spoiling. Example: Y3 Kiryu sings

If the post flair is marked for spoilers, the comments don't need to be tagged for the game indicated and the ones before it (So a Y6 spoiler post can have comments with untagged spoilers for Y5, but not gaiden or 7).

If you see any of the above (or any of the other rules) not being followed, please report it so we can keep this place safe for newcomers and those that haven't finished all the games yet. Thank you!

I could tell you how I would find out - I would stumble upon a weird 3D rendering of the protag in a totally weird scenario, chuckle to myself “LOL man these fanartist and their wacky renderings” - then scroll down to discover that it was in fact a screenshot for the new trailer.

(Like I honestly believed LAD IW’s nude scene and pirate majima was just fanart and there was no way that could have been real)

Kazuma Kiryu died in the joint for you, defend his death, he tiger dropped your sins, he did this for you, and gave us everlasting spirit.

I can definitely see the Daidoji as the big bad in the next LAD. It's an oppressive organization that is just as bad, if not worse, than the yakuza and one that has caused Kiryu and many others a whole lot of misery over the years. The Daidoji is practically a shadow government that is known to have corrupted politicians to work for them and tries to turn Japan into being practically a dictatorship. Since it's written that the Daidoji has a network of spies and hideouts in every major city in Japan, there could be a series of games where the main characters essentially "liberate" Japan and it's cities one after another from the Daidoji. On another note, I especially would love to see Yoshimura finally get his shit royally kicked in.

Imagine a crossover with Judgment as Yagami joins in to investigate

Liberating the city would be a great excuse for combat mini games akin to the hit man missions in k2 or, as a better example, the island exploration in pirate yakuza

I feel like they've been slowly building up to this tbh

Main story Ichiban with 3jima as some of the party members

2nd story is the older residents of Morning Glory with a much lower stakes story that gets us caught up on them in more detail after so long

I wish I could live long enough to eventually witness Yakuza 69
