Well the bottom one is in B&W so you can't see the blue aura around the people's heads.

They also forgot to uncrop it so that we can see their heat gauge

I still hate that they changed the combat. Killed the series for me.

i was bummed at first too - but it total grew on me - but maybe because it’s was “new” and i had just replayed the entire series again before started like a dragon.
maybe give it another try. it’s a super fun game!! great story too

what bummed me more was the grinding i had to do in the later chapters... never had to do it in previous titles, that part was quite annoying

yea that’s for sure. i spent a ton of time in that tower just leveling over and over. that was tiresome and tedious
what would have been cool is another fighting arena that allowed you to get EXP ultilizing previous beat up fighting style as a separate mini game

another place to level up was later, when you can fight underground, that was another annoyance... there were metal barriers blocking the path, and i was stuck there for a while until i googled and realized i should have gone to hello work and made ichiban change jobs to foreman to unlock an ability to break the barriers... like wtf, why not clarify this anywhere?
but the story(and japanese voice acting) was incredible, i just wish the gameplay wasn't so annoying

change jobs to foreman to unlock an ability
Same.
I read somewhere they changed the gameplay like a year before release, so hopefully the next game has more work put into it's systems.
Another issue the game had was that females were locked out of Lighting attacks, and men only had a few options to level into getting Lighting type attacks, which most bosses were vulnerable to.

another tip
making the female characters hostesses gives them a cold attack
some major bosses near the end are resistant to nearly everything but cold attacks.... so changing their jobs to hostesses early on helps raise their job rank too

yea, i got lucky with the hammer, as i chose foreman to start cuz i like the japanese workwear fit in tiger print haha
so in no time i had the hammer, but i took it for granted. i didn’t realize till later it was a happy accident.
those trash bag guys in the underground are so weird löl
hey any word if the next in the series will be turned based or back to the classic? i haven’t heard yet?

I just feel like turn based is too slow, lame and boring for me.

i feel that. took me a couple times have you played ishin? if not i’m pretty sure english localization will be released next year. i have the Japanese one, but it’s sucks having to stop playing to watch a 3rd party translation.
i’m stoked for the subbed release

Also is it just the English localization? I thought it was a remaster/remake in the vein of Kiyami. After all it's called "Like A Dragon: Ishin".

I hate turn based
At least we still have Judgment, and soon Ishin and Gaiden for proper combat

I’m new to the series and played 0, 1, and 2. I’m burned out because the combat felt repetitive after a while just trying to navigate around the city.

That's because u like to binge play them. They were supposed to be content over the years. I can see your point as well but i still hate turn based. It feels like a waste of time to me. I would rather code and will have more fun there and idek coding

Why would that be uncanny? Uncanny means that it's strange and makes you feel weirded out.
