I need a Judgment 3 with Yagami and Kaito as protagonists just like Kiryu and Majima in Y0

I've said it in other locations but I'll keep it brief as to avoid spoilers: Mikiko Sadamoto is the best written female character in the metaseries and I'm very excited to see how the improvement in the writers' ability to write women characters will manifest in future games.

The Kaito Files had such a good story to tell.

Honestly seeing how nobody couldn’t/didn’t wanna hang out with Kaito is relatable. Being unemployed and seeing people in my life do things and being too busy to hang out hits different

The DLC is a step up from the Majima saga. My only critiques were the hunt for the unlockable skills, the master disguise skill being useless and the bonus bosses felt lacking.

I legitimately loved The Kaito Files, but a lack of Ijincho and Premium Adventure hurt. I’d be excited to see Kaito take the reigns as the protagonist should Yagami be written out. Still want that solo game starring Akiyama though.

Kaito proved that he can carry the series imo. Hopefully RGG figure out the issues with Yagami's actor and they can both appear. As another comment mentioned, a Y0 game where you alternate b/w Yagami & Kaito would be great !

We love to see it. Hard to find fans of Yakuza in Scotland, so this was cool to see. I think I’m so head over heels for the franchise tbh that I will buy this at some point, though maybe just not prioritise it over the other mainline games

SPOILERS I loved how they subverted your expectations with the final boss fight. Instead of at night, intense music with a villian that is either a murderer or just an horrible guy you want to beat the crap out of. You get a good guy who is a doctor that fights you to make sure you are capable to look after the woman he loves, with peaceful music and it takes place during the day time

Few videos have made me want to go out and buy an entire new console just to play one game as much your Lost Judgement videos have.

Ngl, this was a fantastic video, I can understand why they wouldn't want to give you talking points, this has a marvelous flow to it that kept me gripped from start to finish, despite in a sense already knowing what you were going to say mostly as I've gone through this same experience myself

Great video, I havent played the sequel but when I do i'll be sure to try this out as well

Really loved the Kaito Files alot more than i was expecting to! The story and characters are fantastic. also best RGG final boss ever ;) but speaking of Yagami, (SPOILERS AHEAD) I have been pondering what the story lacked in Lost Judgment and I think the main issue is that they killed off Sawa and did so waay too early at that. Like Yagami is basically forced to take a position before he even has a chance to wrestle with it. It would have been interesting to watch them grow together from being initially standoffish. Also I think having an emotional confrontation between Sawa and Kuwana would have been far better than the way they killed her off which had very little emotional impact.

Kaito files is amazing, with the narative alone almost worth the asking price. However, due to the lack of side content (and the inability to visit Yokohama), Kaito Files lost a bit of it value. Cmon RGG Studio, I wanna boxing as Kaito

I cant explain just how much I love Kaito. The was so stoked when he got his own DLC, and it was everything I wanted and more. His fighting styles aren't totally new, but they have unique spins and feel fresh. He has so much life and love put into him. I truly hope he has a big role as a playable character if a new Judgment game cones around.

Kaito has Badass Look Badass Voice and charming plus Kick ass Personality

Will wait for a sale, but hopefully we will see more kaito in the future

Dude I'm subscribing and liking this video cuz everything u said was 100% accurate kaito was my favorite when I played the first judgment n I played every yakuza game b4 getting into that and even with majima and saejima being two of my favorites and favorite brotherly clique kaito and yagami took that place with kaito standing on top🖤 not many people agree with kaito being better then kiyru but he has so much personality n I can't wait to see more of him Ps: just beat LJ but gonna play kaito files tomorrow for first time thanks for making such an awesome video without having to add any major spoilers!

I'm sure it's a great addition to what's one of my favourite Yakuza games, but I'm not paying over half the price of the original game for 7hrs of additional content.

I've platinumed Y0 - Y7, J, and FOTNSLP, and just picked up LJ. I am now fully convinced to buy this DLC once I plat LJ.

A small nitpick I have with it was the lack of furniture to pick up in Chapter 4, but, overall, I like the story more than the main game.

Amazing story and so touching

After finishing the DLC I'm totally okay with Kaito taking over the series if they can't get Yagami's actor back.

I apologise for my former comment. My english sucks and i missread the title as i am not natively english. =: This DLC is great and i still share the assumption every yakuza game is worth palying :) Great video talking about what makes this DLC so great.

Iam sure the kaito files are amazing but not 30 dollars amazing.

I got it for free recently. I would've paid full original price for it. So good!

No way, RGG made a good game about an ex-yakuza?! For real though, The Kaito Files was a phenomenal experience

Pretty much the only thing I wanted was to be able to go to Ijincho, everything else in the DLC was awesome.

I hope Kaito gets his stand alone title

Brilliant video

Thanks for the vid

I just started Kiwami 2, after going through that up to yakuza 6 and like a dragon are the judgement games worth it overall?

Se sabe algo si vamos a tener una edicon definitiva de Lost judgment en fisico? Que incluya todos los DLC o una edicion fisica de Kaito Files?

Love the Judgment games. Can't Yakuza for some strange reason.

Kaito Masaharu my beloved ❤️

I like Kaito a lot but if I’m honest I really didn’t enjoy playing as him, I’d really like Kuwana to take over the series, he’s got a fun move set

For me it was free to download & good to play too

4:21 - Not only that, but he's also not a reskin of other character's fighting styles. Sure, we'd all have noticed if they made him a reskin of Kiryu, but they could have done for some lesser known character and probably mostly gotten away with it. How many people remember how one and done characters like Tanimura or Shinada fight? They could have even pinched stuff from Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise. But nope. Kaito gets his own fighting style. Really makes me hope we'll play as him again in the future. Surely they didn't put all that time in just for one DLC, right? Then again, I guess we did have all those one and done characters I just mentioned... :/ EDIT: Two fighting styles, they gave him two. I forgot because I only really used one of them. 😅

I have played every Yakuza game starting from 0, Both judgments, and now this. Out of everything, I genuinely think that the Kaito Files is the single best story ever told. Kaito is just so damn cool. I wish he'd taken over instead of Ichiban. I do love Ichiban tho. Kaito is a beast though. On that note I'd like to add, Tanimura from Yakuza 4 would be an excellent addition to the Judgment cast. It would make a RGG fanboy like myself very happy.

I just wish the Kaito Flies had *any* side content

why are the subtitles tweakin

LET'S GO

Boss fights were far better designed here than main game's imo. Idcidc

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if they ever did a protagonist that, not only would've been what Japanese society would class as "gaijin", but also somebody who, whilst I guess on the surface, would have a rather Trevor Phillips from GTA kind of flair to them, what with being quick to anger, incredibly brash and blunt about things, coupled with a "don't give a shit" sort of attitude, probably usually finding some place to get smashed, and likely wouldn't shy away from killing a guy, if pushed too far, could actually have some interesting "method behind the madness" of sorts, and part of their own personal journey, aside from adjusting to Japan's underbelly and way of living, was essentially just to find some way to break the ice, and begin some long road of resolution of sorts (however long that might be). Probably even have a bit of an inverse to what went on with Kaito. Like, seeing as he supposedly chose the lifestyle he lead, and had some regrets about some of those choices he made, I can see this person be someone who constantly felt cheated out of a better lifestyle, through no fault of their own, and therefore pretty much developed these anger management and violent tendency problems, alongside a possible persecution complex, and just coming off as simply unapproachable to most people. Possibly even having the events of their story kick off from essentially being used as the perfect scapegoat, for some crime that went on. As well as possibly having a fighting style more akin to classic Yakuza games, with one singular style, that you can build more moves onto, as you progress, alongside being able to do stuff that Kaito or Yagami wouldn't dare touch with a ten foot pole, like use guns or bladed weapons, as well as possibly even having a few allusions to being in a ton of barfights in the past, with the amount of ways they could utilize booze in fights.

Gotta love sponsorships that match the brand

It's the price that is putting me off for a 7 hour expansion. Full game £50 + expansion £75 so expansion is half the price of the full game.

This game as well as its DLC is amazing in terms of quality of production and presentation. but sadly with sega having problems with the studio for yagami`s voice actor and character model. This game will never be ported outside of the playstation and coming to other platforms. which is disappointing even i wanted to play the judgment games.

A seven hour Yakuza/Judgement experience? But what about the other 80 hours!?! Gonna make me play Judgement and Lost Judgement just so I can save time on this one.

The whole point of Judgment's existence is having a game with Kimutaku. Some even call the game Kimutaku Ga Gotoku. Also, it's not like the series is irreplaceable. It is good at what RGG games have always been good at. The investigative part, which differentiates it, is serviceable at best. If Kimutaku can't continue or if SEGA doesn't want to continue with a console-exclusive franchise, they'll simply create another brawler game series. For me, that we only have one more game and that they move on. A trilogy is fine.

Kaito Files was amazing, but I also think it made me not want to see him as a long term protagonist, his ending in the dlc felt too definitive

I enjoyed the dlc story more than the lost judgement story. LJ story just dragged

If only these games were on pc

Kaito Files asking price is not worth it imo. The story is fantastic but other than that, not much. Like pretty sure Kiwami was like $30 and it came with stuff to do unlike Kaito Files. We're pretty much paying for slightly better Majima Saga here. There's not even a New Game+ here and it is such an awful decision, like most of the skills are locked behind a skill book you need to find. Buy the season pass instead if you haven't, you'll still get the DLC at a cheaper price.

Idc if its the best story of all time there is no way in hell that im going to pay 30 dollars for about 5 hours of content

No one saying that the Kaito AddOn is bad, it is just not worth 30$. Sega, make this AddOn 15$ and 20$ for Season Pass and we good. Don't get greedy! 30$/35$ is a RIP OFF!

I’d be more willing to play this if Kaito’s moveset wasn’t just a copy paste of 2 Kiryu styles

If RGG does it right, they potentially have a second Kiryu on their hands. Kasuga in Like A Dragon doesn't gut it in my opinion.

I really like the idea of this game, but wasn't a fan of Lost Judgement's gameplay. The chases, camera moments, stalking, etc, really put me off.

Not spending money on DLC. Not gonna play Kaito Files.

It's literally just the Majima Saga with better writing. All you do is go from waypoint to waypoint, watch a 30 minute cutscene, do one boss fight, then watch another 30 minute cutscene. Repeat five times, THEN do it all again for the next three chapters. There are no sidecases, no new activities, NOTHING new to do. This DLC would have been better if it was directed by David Cage.
